Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of treadmill exercise tests (TET), Hoher electro-cardiogram in coronary artery disease(CAD) patients. Methods 144 patients who clinically diagnosed as CAD,un-derwent TET and Hoher electrocardiogram. Then the patients with the positive results were examined by coronary arte-riography(CAG). According to the results of CAG the diagnostic value of TET and Hoher electrocardiogram was per-formed with comparative analysis. Results The sensitivity, specificity and evaluated accuracy rates of TET were 93.3% ,72. 2% and 73. 8% respectively. But the sensitivity,specificity and positive evaluated accuracy rates of Hol-ter electrocardiogram to examine myocardial iachemia were 76.7%, 88.4%, 57.1%. Conclusions The combined examination of TET and Holter electrocardiogram could preliminarily estimate the stenosis site of coronary artery. For the patients with unconditional GAG, those two examinations could increase the diagnostic reliability of positive rate of myocardial isehemia, and on this basis to enhance the diagnostic level of the stenosis site of coronary artery.

Objective To explore the perinatal risk factors and clinical characteristics of complications of early term neonates.Methods Data of 5 468 live term newborns and their mothers hospitalized in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2013 were analyzed.Background information,morbidity and complications of the mothers were compared among early,full and late term groups (n=l 933,3 013,412,respectively).And background information and incidence of complications were also investigated among neonates of early,full and late term groups (n=2 033,3 023,412,respectively),and neonates born between 37-37+6 (n=695) and 38-38+6 weeks (n=1 338).One-way analysis of variance,LSD-t test,logistic regression analysis,Chi-square or Fisher exact test,Pearson Chi-square test,corrected Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.Results 1.Comparison among the early,full and late term group showed that higher proportions of elder gravida [21.1%(407/1 933),10.5%(317/3 013),6.8%(28/412),x2=127.690],multipara [43.7%(844/1 933),23.1%(697/3 013),15.0%(62/412),x2=287.765],scarred uterus [27.9%(539/1 933),8.9%(267/3013),1.5%(6/412),x2=396.521],higher incidence of cesarean section [75.2%(1 453/1 933),56.2%(1 693/3 013),54.1%(223/412),x2=196.348],hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy [9.2%(178/1 933),3.5%(105/3 013),2.9%(12/412),x2=79.915],multiple pregnancy[5.1%(99/1 933),0.3%(9/3 013),0.0%(0/412),x2=147.860],gravidity>1[63.1%(1 220/1 933),47.3%(1 425/3 013),39.6%(163/412),x2=147.668],premature rupture of fetal membranes[20.6%(398/l 933),14.2%(428/3 013),10.2%(42/412),x2=47.217],abnormal amniotic fluid[17.8%(344/1 933),12.3%(370/3 013),11.2%(46/412),x2=32.777],gestational diabetes mellitus[11.5%(223/1 933),5.9%(178/3 013),5.1%(21/412),x2=56.169],abnormal presentation [9.5%(184/1 933),5.1%(155/3 013),2.9%(12/412),x2=43.511],abnormal placenta [7.6%(146/1 933),3.1%(92/3 013),2.7%(11/412),x2=57.739],hysteromyoma[4.9%(94/1 933),2.3%(68/3 013),0.7%(3/412),x2=35.062] in the early term group than in the full and late term group,respectively (all P<0.016).Multivariate logistic analysis showed that multiple pregnancy (OR=21.736,95%CI:10.785-43.806),scarred uterus (OR=3.302,95%CI:2.679-4.071) and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy(OR=2.658,95%CI:2.040-3.465) were the leading three perinatal risk factors for early term delivery.2.The incidence of the following neonatal conditions were different among early,full and late term infants (all P<0.05):hyperbilirubinemia [12.5%(255/2 033),3.9%(119/3 023),4.9%(20/412),x2=138.343],infectious diseases [4.3%(88/2 033),2.0%(59/3 023),1.7%(7/412),x2=27.122],asphyxia[3.0%(60/2 033,1.4%(42/3 023),1.0%(4/412),x2=17.795],brain damage [2.3%(46/2 033),0.5%(15/3,023),10.%(4/412)],respiratory distress syndrome [1.1%(23/2 033),0.2%(7/3 023),0.0%(0/412)],feeding problems [2.0%(41/2 033),0.3%(10/3 023),1.0% (4/412)],surgical diseases[2.0%(41/2 033),0.9%(28/3 023),1.5%(6/412),x2=0.709],intracranial hemorrhage [1.9%(39/2 033),0.9%(26/3 023),0.5%(2/412),x2=13.263],wet lung [0.9%(19/2 033),0.4%(11/3 023),0.5%(2/412)].Incidences of the above complications in the early term infants were all higher than in the full term infants,but when compared with the later term infants,only that of hyperbilirubinemia and infectious diseases was higher (all P<0.016).Incidence of admission ot NICU [24.5%(170/695) vs 11.5%(153/1 338),x2=57.729],hyperbilirubinemia [19.0%(132/695) vs 9.2%(123/1 338),x2=40.046],infectious diseases[6.2%(43/695) vs 3.4%(45/1 338),x2=8.807],brain damage[4.0%(28/695) vs 1.3%(18/1 338),x2=14.828],and NRDS[2.0%(14/695) vs 0.5%(9/1 338),x2=7.329],feeding problems [3.2%(22/695) vs 1.5%(20/1 338),x2=6.271],intracranial hemorrhage [3.2%(22/695) vs 1.3%(17/1 338),x2=8.684],wet lung [1.7%(12/695) vs 0.5%(7/1 338),x2=7.049] of the early term infants born at 37-37+6 weeks were all higher than those born at 38-38+6 weeks(all P<0.05).Conclusions Multiple pregnancy,scarred uterus and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy are the three leading perinatal risk factors of early term delivery.The incidence of neonatal complications among early term infants are higher than those among full term infants,and early term infants are more likely to stay in NICU.We should take preventive measures to decrease the rate of early term delivery and improve the follow-up management of early term infants.

Objective To study the changes of the T-lymphocyte subsets in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome(GBS)before and after intravenous immunoglobulin treatment(IVIG),and to explore the possible mechanism of the IVIG curing GBS further.Methods Chose 31 cases of clinically confirmed GBS were enrolled and compared before and after the treatment.According to the effect of the therapy,31 cases of the total were sub-divided into effective and ineffective groups.Relative counting of peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subsets was preformed with flow cytometry.Results ①The percentage of CD8+ T and CD4+CD29+ T cell was significantly lower(CD8+T:28.77%±11.02% vs 31.84%±12.35%,CD4+CD29+T:56.71%±12.44% vs 62.40%±12.72%,t=2.995,3.919,P<0.05)after therapy,while the rate of CD4+/CD8+T and the percentage of CD4+CD45RA+T cell increased notably(t=2.368,3.860,P<0.05);but there was no notable difference in the percentage of CD3+T and CD4+T cell.②The percentage of CD8+T and CD4+CD29+ T cell was significantly lower(t=2.144,3.343,P<0.05)after the treatment,while the rate of CD4+/CD8+T and the percentage of CD4+CD45RA+T cell increased notably(t=2.159,3.277,P<0.05)in the good curative effect group,but there was no change in the bad curative effect group.③61.29%(19/31)of the patients significantly improved by IVIG,and there was no death case.Conclusions T-lymphocyte subsets change in a varing degree after IVIG treatment in acute GBS patients,which lays an immunological foundation for the further study of pathogenesis and mechanism of IVIG curing GBS;effective on GBS,IVIG can actively suppress pathogenetic condition and promote the recovery of nrevous function.

Objective Focusing on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infections(CRBSI) in clinical practice, to provide clinical evidences for reducing the incidence of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections Methods The related articles within the latest 5 years were reviewed, and the related monitoring data of the hospital were analyzed. Results ( 1 )The pathogens of CRBSI invaded bloodstream through the puncture point/hub, and the pathogens of the secondary CRBSI came from the infections in other sites, invading bloodstream and adhering the catheter tip. (2)Highlights on the diagnosis of CRBSI: For the patients with CVC, the possibility of the CRBSI should be considered when severe fever not due to non-infectious causes occurred. Infection occurring time and pathogen are different between the general catheters and the anti-infective catheters. The effect of antiinfection of the anti-infective catheters are limited. To pull out the catheters is the most effective treatment measures. Routine puncture point culture should be rejected. ( 3 ) Prevention of CRBSI: The indications of CVC intubation should be undisputed. Silicone catheter should be used. The catheter should not be indwelled more than 5 days. Conclusions Invasive operation, the lasting time of catheterization and using a lot of antibiotics are the susceptible factors for CRBSI. Hospital should establish suite intervention methods and operation procedures,strengthen education of the medical staff and proceed with targeted monitor for decreasing the rate of infectious.
