Objective To investigate the effect of early enteral nutrition combined with probiotics on the nutritional status of patients with severe head injury. Methods Thirty-five patients with severe head injury were randomized into early enteral nutrition group ( control group, n = 18 ) and early enteral nutrition combined with probiotics group (observational group, n = 17). All the patients received enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube within 24-48 hours following admission. Hemoglobin, lymphocyte count,plasma concentrations of total protein, albumin, prealbumin, cholinesterase, and fasting blood glucose were determined before enteral nutrition and at days 8, 15, 21 after enteral nutrition. Arm circumference (AC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) and ann muscle circumference ( AMC ) were measured at the same time points. Gastrointestinal reactions as well as the time to first defecation were recorded. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was assessed. Results There was no difference in terms of hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, plasma concentrations of total protein, prealbumin, and GCS score at each time point between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). At day 8 after enteral nutrition, the patients in the observational group exhibited significantly lower level of fasting blood glucose than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05 ). At day 15,the concentration of plasma cholinesterase in the observational group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). At day 21, the observational group showed a tendency in increase of plasma albumin level in comparison with the control group( P = 0. 054), and the decrease of AC and AMC was obviously lower than that in the control group ( P ＜0. 05 ) compared with pre-enteral nutrition. The observational group showed less gastro-oesophageal reflux and constipation as well as earlier time to first defecation compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05,0. 01 ). Conclusion Compared with the ordinary enteral nutrition, the enteral nutrition combined with probiotics can attenuate metabolic disorders and improve the nutritional status of the patients with severe head injury.

Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness of transcatheter domestic occluder with those of surgical closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) , and to evaluate the feasibility of transcatheter ASD closure using domestic occluder. Methods From January 2002 to December 2007,69 patients underwent transcatheter ASD closure using domestic occluder, and 123 patients underwent surgical closure were observed. The technical success rate,residual shunt rate,total complication rate,operative time,blood transfusion volume,length of hospital stay and clinical long-term results were compared. Results The technical success rate was 98. 6% in domestic occluder group,and the one unsuccessful patients underwent surgical closure in the other day. Complication included cardiac tamponade in 1 patient (1. 4%) , residual shunt in 1 patient (1.4%). All patients in surgical group were treated successfully, residual shunt in 2 patient (1. 6%), total complications were progressive hemothorax in 1, cerebral embolism in 1,pulmonitis in 2 patient,pulmonary atelectasis in 1 patient,hydrothorax in 2,and incisional infection in 5, the total complication rate were 9.8% . Long-term follow up shows that both groups had good clinical results. Conclusions Transcatheter closure of ASD using domestic occluder is an ideal procedure owing to its reliability and safety, with less complication than and same long-term results with the surgical group. It is an alternative to surgery within acceptable limits.

Objective To investigate the influence of high body mass index (BMI) on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy outcome in the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using existing data on 224 PCOS patients with IVF-ET by the standard long protocol in this hospital from Jan 2009 to Dec 2011 .All patients were divided into 2 groups according to BMI ,the high BMI group(BMI≥24 .0 ,64 cases) and the normal BMI group(18 .5≤BMI<24 .0 ,160 cases) .The differences of pregnaney outcomes between the high BMI and normal BMI PCOS pa-tients were compared .Results 1 .Basic testosterone(T) in the high BMI group was higher than that in the normal BMI group(P<0 .05) .2 .There were no statistical difference in the number of retrived oocytes ,dose of Gn ,Gn duration ,fertilization rate between the two groups(P>0 .05);the high BMI group demonstrated the higher endometrial thickness and lower good quality embryo rate than the normal BMI group(P<0 .05) .3 .There were no statistical difference in the clinical pregnancy rate and the abortion rate be-tween the two groups(P>0 .05) ,the high BMI group had the higher risk of developing gestational diabetes(GDM)than the normal BMI group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion PCOS patient with high BMI is liable to develop hyperandrogenism and increases the occurrence rate of pregnancy complication gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) ,but without affecting the clinical pregnancy rate .

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 74 cases of coronary syndrome were collected as the patients group,including 36 cases of AMI and 38 cases of unstable angina pectoris(UAP),and 40 individuals with healthy physical examina-tion were selected as the control group.The concentrations of cardiac marker cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in blood at different times were detected by using the point-of-care rapid immune quantitative method.Then the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing AMI were compared for determining the best time of single detection and combined detection.Results The positive rates of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 2-12 h with the symptoms in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group and the UAP group,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.01).The combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 6-12 h with symptoms had the higher sensitivity and higher specificity for diagnosing AMI.The combined detection of cTnI and CK-MB within onset 12-24 h with symptoms could reach the optimal sensitivity and optimal specificity for the diagnosis.The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI within onset 24-72 h with symptoms for diagnosing AMI were 100.0% and 100.0% respectively.Conclu-sion The point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB can conveniently and rapidly diagnose AMI.The sensitivty and specificity of various indexes in different time periods are different.Their combined detection can increase the diagnostic rate for AMI.

A patient with acute obscure gastrointestinal bleeding was found to have a large amount of food retention in the stomach after fasting for >12 hours. We tried to adjust the patient's body position to facilitate capsule endoscopic examination. The patient laid on the bed on his right side, which is the position required for a normal procedure, and then his hip was raised while his upper body was lowered gradually until the pylorus appeared at the center of the screen of the real-time monitor. It took 15 minutes of body position adjustment to make the pylorus appear at the center of the monitor and another 5 minutes for the capsule endoscope to enter the duodenum. The lesion was ultimately found at the terminal small intestine.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 5 loci on chromosome 3p in soft tissue leiomyosarcoma (LMS).

METHODSLOH was detected in 22 cases of LMS using PCR-silver staining targeting 5 microsatellite sites on 3p14.2-pter. Relation between LOH and LMS clinical pathological features was also analyzed.

RESULTSTen of 22 LMS samples showed LOH at more than one locus (45.4%). Among the 5 loci, LOH occurred more frequently at D3s1295 (36.8%) and D3s1289 (10.5%), but absent at D3s1293. No significant difference was found on LOH incidence between different grade, size and location of LMS.

CONCLUSIONSLOH on chromosome 3p14.2-23 region is relatively frequent in LMS. Region around D3s1295 and D3s1289 may harbor tumor suppressor gene relating to LMS.
