Objective To understand the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin lymphomas (PGINHL) and analyze the differences between T-cell and B-cell lymphomas.Methods.The characteristics of 51 PGINHL patients were analyzed regarding to their clinical manifestations,diagnosis,treatments and outcomes.Results 51 cases of PGINHL meeting the WHO(2008) criteria were identified.The median age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 56 years old and the male ∶ female ratio was 1.44∶1,35 cases (68.7 ％) had B-lineage and 16 cases (31.3 ％) had T-cell lineage lymphomas.Compared to those with B-cell lymphoma,patients with T-cell lymphoma presented with a greater incidence of such symptoms as hematochezia,diarrhea and night sweating (P ＜ 0.05).After eliminating MALT lymphoma,prognosis of T-cell lymphoma and B-cell lymphoma had no significant difference.Conclusion In PGINHL cases,B-cell lymphomas appeare to be more common and have better prognosis than T-cell lymphomas.

Objective To summarize our experiences of applying totally implantable venous access ports ( TIVAP) in chemotherapy for young children with malignant tumors.Methods Between December 2011 and May 2015, 50 young children with malignant tumors were implanted with TIVAP in Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital for chemotherapy.A retrospective review was conducted with their clinical records, focusing on success rate, clinical effect, and complications of TIVAP.Results The technical success rate was 100%with no intrao-perative complication such as puncture-related injury.In one case the device had to be adjusted through reopera-tion due to malposition of catheter tip.The port was removed in one case after 1 year due to infection.15 patients had the ports removed after the completion of chemotherapy.5 patients died due to the relapse and metastasis of tumor.29 patients are still using the port with no complications.Conclusion TIVAP is a safe device in young children, ensuring reliable vascular access for chemotherapy and improving patients'quality of life.

Objective To determine the median effective effect-site concentration (EC50 ) of remifentanil inhibiting responses to laryngeal mask airway insertion when combined with propofol in elderly male patients . Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients ,aged 65>yr ,with body mass index <30 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective transurethral resection of bladder tumor or prostate under general anesthesia ,were enrolled in this study .Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of propofol with a target plasma concentration (Cp) of 3 μg/ml .When Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S ) score ≤1 ,remifentanil target-controlled infusion was started with the initial target Cp set at 4.0 ng/ml . The concentration of propofol was adjusted until BIS value reached 55-65 ,and then the laryngeal mask airway was inserted .Modified Dixon’s up-and-down method was used to determine the Cp of remifentanil . Each time the Cp of remifentanil increased/decreased in the next patient depending on whether or not the response to laryngeal mask airway insertion occurred . The ratio of the two successive Cps was 1.2 .The response to laryngeal mask airway insertion was defined as development of coughing ,laryngospasm and/or body movement during insertion or within 3 min after insertion .The number of patients in whom inhibition of responses to insertion was effective/ineffective was recorded .The EC50 of remifentanil required to inhibit responses to laryngeal mask airway insertion and the 95% confidence interval when combined with propofol were calculated .Results The EC50 (95% confidence interval ) of remifentanil required to inhibit responses to laryngeal mask airway insertion was 1.86 (1.64-2.12) ng/ml when combined with propofol in elderly male patients .Conclusion The EC50 of remifentanil required to inhibit responses to laryngeal mask airway insertion is 1.86 ng/ml when combined with propofol in elderly male patients .

Objective To investigate the status of undergraduates′ sub-health and explore the relationship between personality traits and sub-health and the mediating role of self-harmony. Methods A total of 196 undergraduate nursing students in Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were investigated by Sub-health Self-rating Scale (SSS), Self Consistency and Congruence Scale (SCCS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale. Results The the total scores of the undergraduate nursing students′personality traits, self-harmony and sub-health were 22.71±4.90, 102.74±14.41, 182.54± 31.76. The neuroticism and extroversion of personality traits were significantly correlated with self-harmony and sub-health (P<0.01). Neuroticism had a significant prediction on self-harmony (β=0.37, P<0.01) and sub-health (β=-0.64, P<0.01), after controlling self-harmony, the prediction on sub-health was reduced, but still significant (β=-0.56, P<0.01);extroversion had a significant prediction on self-harmony (β=-0.27, P<0.01) and sub-health (β=0.54, P<0.01), after controlling self-harmony, the prediction on sub-health was reduced, but still significant (β=0.46, P < 0.01). Conclusions The sub-health status of undergraduate nursing students was not optimistic. Nursing students′ personality traits of psychoticism, extroversion, which directly impact on the health status, and through self-harmony indirectly affect their health level, self-harmony played a intermediary role between personality traits and sub-health.

Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complex drew a large number of research interests recent years.It said to be prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.Researchers also found fQRS was a sign of myocardial scarring,myocardial focal necrosis and substandard perfusion in patients suffered acute myocardial infarction,and the relationship of fQRS with malignant arrhythmia and cardiovascular events in these patients was also investigated lately,patients with fQRS were said to have an unfavorable prognosis.We summarized the definition,pathogenetic mechanism of fQRS and the relationship with ventricular arrhythmia in this article to figure out the cardiovascular event's predictive value of fQRS in patients suffered with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence,treatment and prognosis of silent pulmonary embolism (PE) after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).Methods From December 2009 to September 2012,582 consecutive patients underwent off-pump CABG by a same surgeon.Their age ranged from 16 to 86 years with a mean age of (61.4 ± 9.3) years.Left internal mammary artery and saphenous vein were harvested routinely.A dose of 20 mg unfractionated heparin was given intravenously every 6 hours on the operative day after postoperative pleural fluid less than 50 ml per hour.All patients received aspirin 100 mg daily starting on postoperative day 1.The 64-slice coronary MDCT was performed to assess the graft patency on postoperative day 5 ～ 7.Results There were no in-hospital death.PE,which involved the lobar or more proximal arteries,was detected on the CT images of 10 patients (1.7％).In these 10 patients,there were no significant dyspnea or hypoxemia postoperatively ; echocardiography and ECG showed no specific signs of PE ; all bypass grafts were patent in CT images except a LIMA to LAD graft with LAD endarterectomy.PE involved both lungs in 6 patients,and only the right lung in 4 patients.All patients received anticoagulation with warfarin for 3 to 6 months except one.All patients were with good quality of life during 6 to 18 months of follow-up.Three to six months after discharge,8 patients received repeated MDCT,which showed diminish of PE.Conclusion Acute PE after off-pump CABG was an uncommon complication and was difficult to diagnose.MDCT played an important role in examining the patency of graft vessels and helped detect silent PE in CABG patients.The prognosis of acute PE after off-pump CABG was acceptable.PE diminished after 3 months of anticoagulation with warfarin.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of sequential diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).Methods A case with sequential DLBCL after PTCL was reported,and the characteristics and responses of this case were analyzed.The previous literature was reviewed in order to explain the mechanism and prognosis of such type of disease.Results This patient was diagnosed as PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) definitely,but after a period of treatment,DLBCL was developed as a second tumor.The characteristics and onset interval were just similar to those described in the literature,in which the mechanisms were mentioned as common effects of tumor cell,microenviroment and therapies.This patient got effects through the initial treatment,but considering the poor outcome by former researchers,the prognosis needed to be closely followed up.Conclusion Sequential development of EBV-unrelated DLBCL after PTCL-NOS is very rare,and the mechanism,therapy and prognosis need further investigation.

Objective To introduce the preliminary experience of using rigid neuroendoscope in repair of spinal meningocele or myelomeningocele. Methods 3 infantile patients aging between 13 months and 22 months underwent the resection and repair of spinal meningocele or myelomeningocele in May, 2013. The operations were performed under the direct visualization of the rigid neuroendoscope in the aid of the intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring. All the surgical manipulations were accomplished outside the sheath of the endoscope. Results The surgical procedures were smooth. All the patients recovered satisfactorily. There was no postoperative complication. At the one-year follow-up, they were developing normally. Conclusions The rigid neuroendoscope is useful to the resection and repair of spinal meningocele and myelomeningocele. It could simplify the surgical procedures.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis among risk population and analysis risk factors, and to provide a reference basis for prevention and treatment of brucellosis. Methods Retrospective survey method was used to collect information on brucellosis and epidemiologically confirmed cases in Tongxiang City from 2010 to 2015. The employees gender, age, occupation, job seniority, contact area, contact history to abortion cub and with or without protection measures were analyzed by single factor and multiple factors analysis, calculate odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (CI). Results Totally 1 450 people were investigated and 43 were confirmed positive (2.97%),new cases were 37 with joint pain 86.49% (32/37), low temperature 81.08%(30/37), and weak 62.16%(23/37) as the main body symptoms. Most people were infected in the summer season, accounted for 8.07%(18/223); female cases were relatively higher, accounted for 5.38% (12/223);people younger than 30 years old had the highest positive rate 24.14%(7/29);people working in the processing of animal products had the highest positive rate 6.42%(12/187). The employees gender, age, the types of work, the job seniority, the district distribution and the season were all related to the prevalence of the disease (all P< 0.05) analyzed by Chi-square test and Fisher's exact probability method. By single factor analysis, gender (male, OR =0.397, 95%CI:0.178-0.884), age (31-60 years old, OR = 0.254, 95%CI:0.081-0.796), and types of work (processing personnel, OR =3.211, 95%CI: 1.424 - 7.238) and contacting young animal (OR = 3.544, 95%CI: 1.729 - 7.264), practitioners operating tool (OR=0.231, 95%CI:0.070-0.766) were related to the prevalence of the disease;by multiple factors analysis, contacting young animal (OR=5.198, 95%CI:2.078-13.000) was a risk factor for brucellosis abortion, and practitioners operating tools (OR = 0.161, 95%CI: 0.045 - 0.577) were brucellosis protective factors such as wearing gloves . Conclusion We suggest to strengthen health education and health promotion in professional key populations, do a good job in the epidemic monitoring and promote occupational protection awareness, and decrease the infection of brucellosis.
