Background and purpose:The clear-cell cancer ovarian cancer have worse prognosis than the other ovarian cancer.The patient's survival rate of the clear-cell ovarian cancer has been analyzed in this article in order to study the effect of the treatment with CAPcytoxan(CTX),cisplatinum(DDP),epiadriamycin(E-ADM)plus mitomycin(MMC).Methods:33 cases(group A)with clear-cell ovarian cancer between Jan.1th 1999 and Dec.31th 1999 were compared to 37 cases(B group)with other pathological ovarian cancer.All cases underwent the tumor reductive surgery and been capable of remain the residual tumor size less than 1 cm.Patients in the two groups all underwent CAP based chemotherapy,and patients in group A with additional MMC chemotherapy at the same time.Group A had been compared with the clear-cell ovarian cancer with the CAP protocol(group C,stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ 15 cases,stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ 9 cases).Results:There was significant statistical different value of the CA125 in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ before operation and no significant statistical difference for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ between the two groups.There were significant decrease in the CA125 value for the stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and no significant decrease for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ between two groups after three and six courses chemotherapy.There were 11(33.33%)cases developed with endometriosis and 7(21.21%)with deep venous thrombosis(DVT),however the DVT had no direct correlation to the survival rate.The average survival time for stages Ⅰ/Ⅱ in group A and B was(38.3?2.4),and(38.3?2.7)months,compared to(20?3)and(34?4)months in stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ,respectively.There was no significant statistical difference(P=0.471)in four-year survival rate between groups A and B with stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and there was significant statistical difference(P

Objective To compare the characteristics of MRI, CT, single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) and transcranial Doppler sonography(TCD) in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor. Methods Seventeen patients were investigated. MRI or CT was scanned in 17 patients, SPECT in 9 patients′ and TCD in 11 patients. Results MRI or CT: Brain MRI and CT revealed extensive symmetric white matter involvement of bilateral cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres and the brainstem.The lesions, which showed no contrast enhancement, were hypodense on CT and hypointense on T 1 weighted and hyperintense on T 2 weighted MRI. SPECT: The regional cerebral blood flows(rCBF) of white matter involvement on bilateral cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres was reduced obviously. The rCBF of temporal lobes, parietal lobes, occipital lobes, cerebellar hemispheres, and basal ganglion was reduced in varying degrees. TCD: The systolic peak became sharpened, and end diastolic flow velocity and mean flow velocity were reduced obviously and pulsatility index was increased markedly in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor. Conclusion The characteristic manifestations of MRI and CT imaging may be regarded as the main foundation of diagnosing spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor; SPECT and TCD can help comprehend the changes of hemodynamics of cerebral vessels and the degree of cerebral ischemia in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor.

Objective To detect mitochondrial gene 3243 A to 1507 Chinese and analyze their clinical characteristics.Methods Classical PCR- RFLP was used to detect the mutation and statistical analysis was performed on the data after stratification in accordance with presence or absence of diabetes.Results (1)In this study,prevalence of mitochondrial gene 3243 A to G mutation was 1.16~ 1.20% .(2)Compared with MDM(mitochondrial diabetes),M- NGT(normal glucose to lerance with mutation)showed no significant difference in body fat parameters,blood lipid and C- peptide except for early onset and hearing loss(P=0.0028).(3)Compared with type 2 DM,MDM presented characteristics of early onset,weight loss,hearing loss,islet cell function decrease and maternal hereditary.Conclusion Follow- up should be given to the carrying the mitochondrial gene 3243 A to G mutation but presenting generally normal clinical manifestation in order to give the patient in- time diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical utilization of carbapenems in a hospital,analyze and evaluate its medication rationality. METHODS:All the 508 medical records of inpatients treated with carbapenems from Jul. 2012 to Jun. 2015 were retro-spectively investigated,the utilization and pathogenic examination of carbapenems were evaluated;by setting the carbapenems eval-uating standard,the medication rationality of carbapenems was evaluated and inappropriate cases were classified and analyzed statis-tically. RESULTS:The drug utilization indexed (DUI) of Imipenem and cilastatin sodium for injection and Meropenem for injec-tion were 0.80 and 1.32,respectively;the total rate of microbial inspection was 95.9%;according to the drug sensitive test result, the rate of drug selection was 62.8%;there were 54 cases(10.6%)of irrational use records,in which,irrational dosage(42.6%) and improper drug selection (31.4%) were the major problems. CONCLUSIONS:There are some inappropriate medication prob-lems in carbapenems utilization in the hospital. Developing the carbapenems utilization evaluation is helpful to discover typical medi-cation problems,which can provide reference for intervention and continuous improvement of rational drug use.

AIM: To determine the antioxidant and the immunoregulatory effects of Centella asiatica extracts. METHODS: Centella asiatica was extracted with alcohol and different organic solvent. The content of polyphenol was determined by Folin-ciocalteau method. The efficacy of the extracts to scavenge the hydroxy radical (OH·), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH·) and intra-cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured. Lymphocyte proliferation was assessed to observe the influence of Centella asiatica extracts. RESULTS: (1) Centella asiatica was found to have abundant polyphenol extrated from different phases and in a descending order as follows: ethyl acetate extracts>n-butanol extracts>water extracts>ligarine extracts. (2) Extracts of Centella asiatica exhibited the scavenging efficacy of OH· and DPPH· free radicals, in which the acetic ether extracts showed the significant effect. (3) The acetic ether extracts had significant ability to inhibit the generation of ROS in stimulated lymphocytes. (4) The acetic ether extracts suppressed the lymphocyte proliferation. (5) The active ingredient was identified as flavone. CONCLUSION: Flavones in the Centella asiatica posseses antioxidant activity and effectively inhibits lymphocyte proliferation, showing ability of immunosuppre-ssion.

Objective To study the shift handover experience of ICU clinical nurses. Method About 19 ICU nurses were enrolled in the investigation using semi-structured interviews and the results were analyzed with phenomenological analysis. Result Their shift handover experience were summarized into 6 themes, that is high recognition on the importance of shift handover, lack of standardized processes, incomplete contents of shift handover, frequent interruption, forgotten information and repeated information. Conclusions Shift handover is an important part of ICU nursing function but there are many problems in the practical operation. The nurse managers need to standard the handover process, stipulate handover contents and enhance the training on shift handover with specialist examination and positive results for the purpose of improving the quality of the shift handover.

Objectives To investigate the clinical features of clomiphene citrate (CC) resisitant in patients with the polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods A total of 145 women with PCOS were analyzed in the center for reproductive medicine of our hospital. According to the responses to CC ,patients were divided into two groups:(1)the CC resistant group(n = 32),(2)the CC response group(n = 113). The clinical features were compared between these two groups. Results (1)Body weight,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure and F?G scores were significantly higher in the CC resistant group than those in the CC response group (P < 0.05, respectively).(2)Basic antral follicle counts(AFC),C reaction protein(CRP),fasting insulin(FI)and HOMA?IR in the CC resistant group were significantly higher than those in the CC response group (P < 0.05, respectively),however,no significant difference was observed in sex hormones between these two groups. Conclusion PCOS patients with CC resistant are more likely to have higher body weight,BMI,blood pressure, insulin resistant?indexes and basic AFC ,the clinical doctors should consider these features before the treatment of ovulation induction.
