Objective To evaluate the effect of Jianpi Bushen Formula(Formula for Invigorating Spleen and Nourishing Kidney) combined with moxibustion on quality of life(QOL) and maturation degree of vaginal exfoliate cells(MDVEC) in premature ovarian failure(POF) patients.Methods Totally 55 POF patients were randomized into treatment group(33 cases,treated by Jianpi Bushen Formula with moxibustion) and control group(22 cases,treated by Premarine).Menopause-specified quality of life(MENQOL) was adopted to evaluate QOL of the patients.Maturation index(MI) and maturation value(MV) were applied to evaluate MDVEC.Results The scores of MENQOL of both groups were improved and the effect of the treatment group(except sexual life dimension) was superior to that of the control group(P

Objective:To observe the effect of PGE1 in treatment of heart failure caused by cor pulmonale.Method:100-200 μg of PGE1 was added to 250 mL of 10% glucose and administered by intravenous drip to patients once per day for 7-10 days.Results:Of the 34 cases,21 cases were significantly improved,10 cases improved while only 3 cases remained the same as before. The total effective rate was 91%. The mean time of improvement was 7 days.Conclusion:PGE1 is effective in treating cor pulmonale heart failure,it can help decrease the danger of digitalis toxication.

Objective: 139 documents (10,646 cases of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease) which were treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) of angina pectoris were researched, the application and existing problems of TCM evaluation standards of the efficacy of angina pectoris were studied to determine constructive items (candidate indicatrix) of TCM evaluation standards. Methods: The efficacy evaluation database of angina pectoris was established by the literature search and the software Epidata2.0, recorded in the database, and statistical analysed. Results: There are many kinds of evaluation standards of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris, but the utilization rate of each standard is lower than 40%. The main constructive item in evaluation standards of angina pectoris should include: the effect of the disease, syndrome effects, physical and chemical indicatrix, important clinical event, quality of life, and so on. Conclusion: The current evaluation standards of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris can not meet the clinical needs. A received evaluation standard should be established. The evaluation of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris should adopt integrated multi-dimensional index system.

Objective To simulate the solution drought stress conditions with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 for study on the seed germination of Cassia occidentalis.Methods The seed of C.occidentalis was treated with 5% and 10% PEG 6000,respectively,then the germination rate,the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD),peroxidase (POD),and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured.Results Compared with the same period of the control,soaking with 5% PEG 6000 for 5 h could increase the activity of SOD and POD,decrease the content of MDA.PEG Pretreatment could decrease free radical accumulation and make cell membrane system less damaged in the course of absorbing water in seed.Conclusion Soaking with 5% PEG 6000 for 5 h could increase the seed germination rate of C.occidentalis.

The efficacy and safety of Saccharomyces boulardii in treatment of candida esophagitis was investigated by a single center, prospective, open label and non-inferiority trial.Eighty nine patients with candida esophagitis attending in Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital during April 2015 to March 2016 were randomly divided into Saccharomyces boulardii group (45 cases) and nystatin group (44 cases), and oral Saccharomyces boulardii powder and Nystatin tablets were given to two groups respectively.The curative effect was evaluated by gastroscopy after the treatment.The results showed that the cure rate of Saccharomyces boulardii group and nystatin group was 68.9%(31/45)and 63.6%(28/44), and the Saccharomyces boulardii was noi inferior to nystatin (x2=3.027, P<0.05).Chi-square test showed that there was no significant difference in effective rate between two groups [91.1%(41/45)vs.93.2%(41/44), x2<0.001, P>0.05].The incidence of adverse reactions in boulardii group was significantly lower than that in nystatin group [2.2%(1/45) vs.22.7%(10/44), x2=8.636, P<0.05].The study suggests that the cure rate of Saccharomyces boulardii is not inferior to nystatin in treatment of candida esophagitis, while the incidence of adverse reactions of Saccharomyces boulardii is lower.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there are many studies on colapsed repair, but a systematic and horizontal comparison is not reported yet. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of conventional resin adhesive, resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and adjacent surface open part of the crown on colapsed repair through clinical trial and in vitro experiment. METHODS: (1) Clinical trial: 90 patients with porcelain colapse were randomized into three groups, and respectively treated with conventional resin adhesive, resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and adjacent surface open part of the crown. Success rate was measured and compared among three groups at 1 year after repair. (2) In vitro test: Twenty test specimens were equaly divided into two groups, and treated with conventional resin adhesive and resin adhesive+silane coupling agent, respectively. Then, shear strength was detected in the two groups. Twenty double-crown specimens were equaly divided into four groups. The first three groups were treated with sand blasting, silane coupling agent and their combination treatment, respectively; the rest group had no treatment (control group). After repair, the tensile strength of each specimen was detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of colapsed repair was 37% for conventional resin adhesive, 90% for resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and 100% for adjacent surface open part of the crown. The shear strength was (13.978±0.343) MPa for the conventional resin adhesive and (10.058±0.64) MPa for resin adhesive+silane coupling agent, and there was a significant difference between two methods (P < 0.01). The tensile strength was (0.68±0.04) kN in the control group, (1.00±0.02) kN in the sand blasting group, (1.31±0.08) kN in silane coupling agent group, and (1.09±0.04) kN in the combination group, and there was a significant differences between groups (P < 0.01). Experimental results show that the silane coupling agent+resin adhesive treatment and adjacent surface open part of the crown are superior to conventional resin adhesive.

This paper presented the practice of performance evaluation at public hospitals in Wuhu.The performance evaluation system at public hospitals should emphasize public benefits,present a true picture of work and management performance,and help build the incentive and constraint mechanism.In addition,it should encourage public hospitals to strengthen management,improve quality of care and control health care costs.The system is designed for providing a safe,effective,convenient and inexpensive medical and health services for the people.
