Objective To compare the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMAS) and Streamlined Liner of the pharynx Airway (SLIPA) in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-70 yr weighing 45-80 kg undergoing general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 40 each): group LMAS and group SLIPA. Pharyngeal airway was inserted after induction of anesthesia with fentanyl 3μg/kg and propofol 2.0-2.5 mg/kg. MAP, HR, number of insertion, rate of successful placement at first attempt, placement time, airway sealing pressure, peak and mean airway pressure and side effects were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in MAP, HR and rate of successful placement at first attempt between the two groups. The placement time was significantly longer, the airway sealing pressure lower and the incidence of side effects higher in SLIPA group than in LMAS group. There was no significant difference in the peak and mean airway pressure between the 2 groups. Conclusion Both LMAS and SLIPA can assure good airway sealing and adequate ventilation. The complication is rare. The efficacy of LMAS is better.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound in assessing effects of Chinese herbal drugs on improving endometrial receptivity in patients with thin endometrium.Methods A total of 76 cases of patients diagnosed with thin endometrium in Jiangbei District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2015 to October 2016 were selected and treated with Chinese herbal prescription for three months.The endometrial thickness,endometrial volume and blood flow indexes before and after treatment were measured by using transvaginal three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound.Results After 3 months treatment,the endometrial thickness and endometrial volume were increased,and the pulse index (PI) and resistance index (RI) of endometrial blood flow were decreased,compared with those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The results of three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound indicates that after 3 months treatment the vascularization index (VI),flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) were significantly higher than those before treatment,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).Conclusion The Chinese herbal prescription could increase the thickness and volume of endometrium,augment blood supply,and improve endometrial receptivity significantly.Transvaginal color three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound is a convenient and objective method for evaluating clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal prescription in patients with thin endometrium,which has high practical value.

Objective To analyze the factors which influence the treatment compliance of hypertensive patients in health management. Methods Data of 6 325 hypertensive patients who received physical examination in our department were collected; 4 132 male cases and 2 193 female were included, their ages ranged from 28 to 84 years old;the average age was 61.2 ± 5.8 years. The patients of the health intervention group were randomly divided into 3 groups (group 1, group 2 and group 3). They were provided with regular health management (including weight management, catering management, sports management, medication management and monitoring of blood pressure), respectively, given different frequency of telephone follow-up (1 time per 2 months, 1 time per month, and 1 time per month), evaluating treatment compliance. All the results were analyzed and compared respectively according to the level of education, age and mental status. Data of 1 892 hypertensive patients who received outpatient services were enrolled as the control group. Among them, 4 132 were male and 2 193 were female, aged 28-84 years old, average (61.2 ± 5.8) years old. They received the traditional outpatient follow-up (outpatient service review and health education), their treatment compliance, timely correcting unhealthy lifestyle and medication method and self-testing blood pressure were evaluated. ANOVA and chi square test were used to analyze the treatment compliances and blood pressure control rates of the two groups. Result Compared with the control group, health intervention for hypertension patients could significantly improve the treatment compliance and blood pressure control rate(64.8%vs. 41.3%, 56.7%vs. 29.6%;χ2=2.827,1.382;P=0.032,0.007). Comparing the results of telephone follow-up frequency, the treatment compliance and blood pressure control rate of the 3 intervention groups were higher than those of the two other groups(77.3%vs. 65.4%, 51.7%,χ2=3.414,P=0.041;69.6% vs. 57.3%, 43.2%,χ2=2.763,P=0.028). The treatment compliance of patients with high education level was significantly higher than that of patients with low education level(68.7% vs. 59.1%, 46.4%,χ2=3.257,P=0.037;60.1%vs. 47.2%,32.8%,χ2=1.234,P=0.009). And the treatment compliance of patients with good mental state was significantly higher than that of patients with anxiety(Intervention group1:64.3%vs. 55.1%,41.9%,31.0%,χ2=2.257, P=0.016;59.4%vs.46.1%,20.9%,21.8%,χ2=3.34 5 P=0.021;Intervention group2:75.5%vs. 64.3%,51.8%,41.2%,χ2=2.932, P=0.030;68.3%vs.57.1%,39.2%, 32.1%,χ2=2.382, P=0.032;Intervention group3:86.5% vs.73.2%,62.6%,52.4%,χ2=2.435, P=0.026;75.2% vs. 68.0%,51.7%,43.3%,χ2=3.251, P=0.036). Conclusion More frequently follow-up can improve the treatment compliance and control rate of blood pressure in hypertensive patients;education, age and psychological condition are factors influencing treatment compliance in hypertensive patients.
