Oral mucositis is a common and serious complication secondary to chemo-radiotherapy for head and neck cancer that has a high morbidity and affects the treatment outcomes. Currently available interven-tions such as three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy are directed at minimizing local radiation exposure and providing symptomatic relief. Recently, a number of new treatment mo-dalities have been expected to be introduced for reduction of severity and duration of mucositis, such as kerati-nocyto growth factor, amifostine, zinc sulfate,anti-inflammation agents,glutamine,etc. These efforts are likely to improve the life quality of cancer patients significantly.

Objective To explore the follow‐up value of ultrasound in fetal tricuspid regurgitation . Methods 44 fetuses who presented with moderate tricuspid regurgitation with differential pressure over 20 mmHg ,dilation of right atria and ventricles were chosen as the observation group .Examinations ,in terms of the degree ,velocity and differential pressure of reflux ,size of heart chamber and the presence pericardial or pleural effusion were carried out once every four weeks from 24 weeks of pregnancy to 9 weeks after birth . Results 40 9.% (18/44) of cases had been getting better before birth .The degree of regurgitation of 56 8.%(25/44) cases significantly decreased or even disappeared from 1 to 62 days after birth .Especially ,3 cases whose regurgitation velocity reached to 4 2. m/s with the differential pressure over 70 mmHg as well as onset of heart failure symptoms had been recovered gradually after born in advance 1. case (2 3.% ) with the persistence of both tricuspid regurgitation and heart failure symptoms after birth died in right heart failure , even though using different active treatments ,such as oxygen ,strong heart and diuresis .Conclusions High‐speed tricuspid regurgitation in fetuses without pathological changes can be almost reversed ,and the prognosis is good .Once the fetal tricuspid regurgitation pressure is over 70 mmHg or a fetus appears the onset of heart failure symptoms ,pre‐term delivery should be advised in a bid to prevent accidents in uterine cavity .

Objective To study the application of SLINKY technique in MRA of head and neck by comparison of four TOF MRA methods. Methods We obtained images on 21 patients and 5 volunteers with SLINKY on all the 26 cases, MOTSA on 18 cases, single volume on 16 cases, and 2D on 12 cases. Three experienced radiologists evaluated the images, unknowing which method the images were. The evaluations included clearness of vessel branches, smoothness of vascular wall, and vascular continuity. Signal-to-noise (SNR), contrast-to-noise (C/Ns), and scan time were measured. Results SLINKY displayed vessel branches better and had better smoothness of vascular wall and vascular continuity than the other three methods(P

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the status quo of the drug resistance and the medication of pseudomonas aeruginosa so as to provide references for the clinic in the controlling of pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.METHODS:The susceptive rates of the susceptibility test performed on 148 pseudomonas areuginosa infection cases confirmed in 2004 in our hospital were collected statistically and a whole range tracking statistics were conducted on the use of antibacterials.RESULTS:Pseudomonas aeruginosa had a strong drug resistance,which had a different degree of drug resistance to all antibacterials;Antibiotics like piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidime and carbopenem took the lead in terms of their susceptive rates,which stood at 75.68%,73.65%and 70.27%,respectively;The cross resistances of the third generation cephalosporins and the compound agents of the third generation cephalosporins and their enzyme inhibitor were serious and which kept increasing rapidly;The adoption rates for the susceptive kinds were less than 50%before the susceptibility test.CONCLUSION:An effective way to control pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is to conduct strain culture and isolation and perform susceptibility test as early as possible.

OBJECTIVE:To study the influential factors related to efficacy of Peach kernel-Rheum palmatum couplet medi-cines in TCM formula,and to reveal the general regularity of compatibility environment,common ratio,processing variety and dosage forms of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines. METHODS:Using Chinese Medical Prescription Selected Dictionary ed-ited by Peng Huairen as data source,142 formulas of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines were collected. By establishing data-base,compatibility types of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines,as well as common ratio,processed prodact,dosage form were classified statistically. The influential factors related to efficacy of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines with different pro-portions were summarized. RESULTS:The efficacy of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines could be divided into 6 aspects and 11 roles,including activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis(activating blood to relieve pain,promoting blood circula-tion to eliminate disease,activating blood to promote menstruation,breaking stagnant and eliminating blood stasis),eliminating carbuncle and detoxicating(cleaning intestine and clearing away the pathogenic heat of lung,eliminating carbuncle and expelling pus,eliminating sore and detoxicating),expelling the pathogenic heat to loosen the bowels,warming yang for dispelling cold,forti-fying the spleen and nourishing the stomach,relaxing tendon and activating blood. The compatibility environment of P. kernel-R. pal-matum couplet medicines were mainly compatible with TCM for activating qi to eliminate stasis,activating blood to promote menstru-ation,breaking stagnant and eliminating blood stasis,expelling the pathogenic heat to expel stasis. The ratio of P. kernel to R. palma-tum ranged 1 : 8-4 : 1,and the ratio ranged 1 : 8-3 : 1 when performing the role of actirating blood circalation to dissipate blood stasis. Common processed products were crude P. kernel and prepared R. palmatum. Common dosage forms were mainly decoction,pill and powder. CONCLUSIONS:Compatibility environment,ratio,processing varieties,dosage forms influence the effects of P. kernel-R. palmatum couplet medicines,especially compatibility environment.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a dietary modification intervention model applied by ward nurse on change of dietary behavior among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods A total of 80 participants were divided into intervention patients (n=40) and control subjects (n=40) by random number table.Except lecture-based diabetes educational which was applied for control subjects,a dietary modification intervention model was conducted in intervention patients for a period of two weeks.The intervention program consisted of evaluating an individual's stage of change after being provided dietary information regarding kind of food and portions,discussion with a role model,and keeping a food diary record.Body mass index (BMI),waist-hip ratio (WHR),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),postprandial 2-h plasma glucose (2hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) and score of healthy eating behavior were measured at initial and six months later.Results Compared with control group,BMI,WHR,FPG,2hPG,HbA1c in intervention group were significantly decreased,P ＜ 0.01 or 0.05.After six months intervention,FPG,2hPG and HbA1c in both groups were significantly decreased compared with baseline levels,P＜ 0.01.Compared with control group,the scores of healthy eating behavior in intervention group were significantly decreased,P＜ 0.05.After six months intervention,the scores of healthy eating behavior in both groups were significantly elevated,P ＜ 0.01,compared with baseline levels.Conclusions This study yielded evidence for the benefits of using the dietary modification intervention model as a framework in healthy eating behavior among patients with T2DM.
