Objective To observe the hemostatic efficacy and safety of argon plasma coagulation (APC) through bron?choscope after biopsy. Methods The APC was given to patients suffered from coronary heart disease combined hyperten?sion or paroxysmal auricular fibrillation and accepted bronchoscopy biopsy with much bleeding. The hemostatic effect and changes of heart rate, blood pressure and SPO2 were observed before and after treatment. Results Sixty-two patients were treated with endoscopic hemostasis by APC. The hemostasis was successful in 60 cases. The hemostasis was performed with APC successfully in 2 patients after intubation and mechanical ventilation because of the biopsy hemorrhage. Sixty-two cas?es included 42 cases of airway tumor (26 cases in lobe bronchus and 16 in segmental bronchus), 16 cases of broadening of the trachea ridge and mucosal rough, and 4 cases of granulation tissue of lobe bronchus. There were no significant differenc?es in mean arterial pressure and heart rate before and after treatment in 60 patients (P>0.05). The oxygen saturation was sig?nificantly lower after treatment than that before treatment (0.939±0.027 vs. 0.956±0.017, P<0.05). Conclusion Hemosta?sis treatment by APC through bronchoscope has the characteristics of rapid, thorough and safe, especially for patients com?bined with cardiovascular disease. It can avoid the occurrence of cardiovascular system complications caused by convention?al hemostatic treatment.

Objective:To establish the quality standard for two effective components in extractum glycyrrhizae capsules. Methods:Radix glycyrrhizae was identified by a TLC method. The contents of liquiritin and ammonium glycyrrhizinate in extractum glycyrrhizae capsules were determined by HPLC. An Inertsil C18 (150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm) column was used. The mobile phase consisted of ace-tonitrile (A)-0. 2％ phosphoric acid (B) (0-8 min: 20％A-20％A;8-34 min: 20％A-50％A;34-35 min: 50％A-100％A;35-40 min:100％A-20％A) at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was at 237 nm under 25℃. Results: The spots in TLC were clear. Liquiritin showed a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 0020-0. 1000 mg·ml-1(r=0. 9995). The aver-age recovery was 100. 29％, and the RSD was 2. 94％(n=6). Ammonium glycyrrhizinate showed a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 0020-0. 1000 mg·ml-1(r=0. 9998). The average recovery was 101. 46％, and the RSD was 2. 33％(n=6). Conclu-sion:The method is simple,reliable and reproducible, which can be used for the quality control of the preparation.

Objective To find out the status of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis and the effect of preventive measures in Hebei Province,so as to provide a basis to prevent and cure fluorosis.Methods One affected county (city,district) with drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis was sampled in every city and 10 water improvement projects were investigated in that county.Three villages were taken out in every county.The operating state of the projects,the water fluoride content,and the dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12 and skeletal fluorosis of adults were investigated in these villages.Results A total of 93 projects were investigated,among which 94.6％(88/93) were operating properly and the qualified rate(fluoride content ≤ 1.2 mg/L) of the projects was 54.84％(51/93).Among the 9 large projects,the water fluoride content of 7 projects exceeded 1.2 mg/L.A total of 23 villages with water improvement projects were investigated and only 43.4％ (10/23) of them water fluoride content were lower than 1.2 mg/L.The dental fluorosis rate,the dental fluorosis index and the rate of skeletal fluorosis were 33.2％ (532/1601),0.74 and 5.7％ (66/1155),respectively.In the 7 villages without water improvement projects,2 of them exceeded 2.0 mg/L,but lower than and equal to 4.0 mg/L of water fluorosis and 5 of them were normal(＜ 1.2 mg/L).The dental fluorosis rate,the dental fluorosis index and the rate of skeletal fluorosis were 33.4％ (111/332),0.72 and 2.9％ (10/350),respectively.Conclutions The qualified rate of water improvement projects of fluoride content ≤ 1.2 mg/L is low and the endemic fluorosis is still comparatively serious in Hebei Province.The progress of water improvement projects in the areas with endemic fluorosis should be accelerated and the quality of water improvement projects should be increased.

Objective To determine the characteristics of treatment and diagnosis,surgical timing and surgical methods in severely head-injured patients with central herniation.Methods Twenty patients with central herniation caused by contusions and lacerations of the bilateral frontal lobes hospitalized from July 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 11 males and 9 females,at mean age of 42 years (range,18-70 years).Injury was caused by traffic accidents in 15 patients,falls in 3 and fighting events in 2.Eight patients were treated immediately on admission and twelve patients underwent emergency operation.All the operations involved simultaneous bilateral craniectomy for decompression,including bilateral decompressive craniectomy in 6 patients and unilateral decompressive craniectomy in 14 patients.Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment were used to evaluated outcome evaluation and cognitive impairment respectively.Complications were recorded.Results All patients were followed up for 6-12 months (mean,8 months).According to GOS,good recovery was presented in 10 patients,moderate disability occurred in 6,severe disability in 2,vegetative state in 1,and death in 1.Eleven patients suffered severe mental disorders especially personality change and disturbance of intelligence,and restored after 12 months.Five patients were complicated by epilepsy and two hydrocephalus.Conclusions For central herniation in patients with severe head injury,an emergent surgery is necessary if there exist conscious disturbance and pupil aggravations,hematoma enlargement and significant displacement of midline structure.Timely bilateral balance decompressive craniectomy is effective to reduce the mortality and disability and improve quality of life.

Objective To study the predictive value of evaluation in oxygen partial pressure[p(O2)] and carbon dioxide partial pressure[p(CO2)] of pleural cavity to the closure of visceral pleura in primary spontaneous pneumothroax (PSP) pa-tients. Methods Seventy-six hospitalized pneumothroax patients were divided into two groups:closed pneumothroax group (n=40) and open pneumothroax group (n=36), according to the radiographic information.To collect the expiratory gas by the device which we designed and produced, to collect the gas in the pleural cavity by thoracentesis. To detect the p(O2)and p(CO2)respectively, and the blood gas analysis of radial artery was done at same time. Results There was significantly low-er value of p(O2)of the gas in the pleural cavity in patients of closed pneumothroax than that of open pneumothroax (P <0.05). The level of p(CO2)was higher in patients of closed pneumothroax than that of open pneumothroax ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in values of p(O2)and p(CO2)in expiratory gas and the blood gas analysis between two groups (P>0.05). There was significantly higher value of the expiratory gas/the pleural cavity gas p(O2) and a significantly lower value of p(CO2), in closed pneumothroax group than those of open pneumothroax group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analy-sis showed that values of the expiratory gas/the pleural cavity gas p(O2) and p(CO2) were the effective factors for the closure of visceral pleura. ROC curve showed that the areas under ROC curve (AUC) for the expiratory gas/the pleural cavity gas p(O2) and p(CO2) was 0.985 and 0.867, the sensitivities were 92.5% and 77.8%, the specificities were 100%and 85.0%and the reference values were 1.81 and 0.97. Conclusion To utilize the evaluation of gas partial pressure can predict whether the leakage of the visceral pleura is closed.
