Objective To determine the clinical value of myocardial performance index (MPI) in the assessment of right ventricular function in the patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). Methods The study included 23 patients with ASD and 81 normal subjects. MPI, defined as the sum of isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time derived by ejection time, was measured from tricupid inflow and right ventricular outflow Doppler velocity profiles recorded during routine echocardiography. Results ①The isovolumic relaxation and isovolumic contraction times [respectively ( 74.78 ? 13.86 )ms vs ( 60.93 ? 12.94 )ms, P

Objective To evaluate the formation of coronary collateral circulation with intracoronary Doppler ultrasound in pigs after acute occlusion and the influence of nitroglycerin and phentolamine on it.Methods The blood flow spectrun was detected in 14 pigs using intracoronary Doppler ultrasound before and after acute occlusion of the left circumflex artery (LCX) and its response to nitroglycerin and phentolamine.The average peak velocity (APV) and the diastolic systolic velocity ratio (DSVR) were recorded. Results The APV of the LCX decreased significantly at 10 min after acute occlusion (0.97?1.05 vs 25.78?4.36 cm/s,P0.05). Conclusion Intracoronary Doppler ultrasound can be used to evaluate coronary collateral circulation. The formation collateral circulation was insufficient after acute occlusion of coronary artery in pigs and nitroglycerin or phentolamine can improve the blood flow.

Objective To investigate the cause of non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibia] fractures and assess the clinical outcome after treatment with intramedullary compression interlocking nail (ICIN). Methods From February 1998 to December 2006, 21 patients with non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures (13 patients with femoral fractures and 8 with tibial fractures) were treated by ICIN. Bone grafting was performed in 18 patients, and the other three patients only rocoived reamed compression nailing. Five patients received bone grafting combined with knee adhesion release operation. Results All patients were followed up for 11.4-36 months (mean 13.6 months). Solid bone union was observed in all patients, with mean bone union time of 8.7 months and without malunion, infection or refracture. According to the Klemm grading, the clinical outcome was graded excellent in 19 patients and good in 2. Conclusions The main causes for non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures are improper indication selection and incorrect use of implants, which may result in bieenvironment disruption. ICIN shortens the time of functional recovery of knee and ankle joint. ICIN has advantages of stable fixation, early exercise of the knee and ankle as well as early weight loading and hence is one of effective alternatives in treatment of non-union and delayed union of femoral and tibial fractures. ICIN can accelerate the healing of bone and improves the function of knee joint when combined with bone grafting, reamed compression nailing and knee adhesion release.

Background Angle Kappa is the angle between the pupillary axis and visual axis,and it is a major consideration in corneal refractive surgery and strabismic surgery.Researches showed that age and refractive status affect angle Kappa value,and additionally,the measuring results of angle Kappa are associated with instruments.Objective This study was to investigate and weight the influences of axial length,anterior chamber depth and corneal curvature to angle Kappa.Methods A cross-sectional study was designed.Fifty health volunteers were included from Dec 2009 to Aug 2010,with the age of 18-38 years and average diopter of-1.0 D and best corrected visual acuity of 1.0.The horizontal and vertical angle Kappa was binocular measured with a testing machine designed by laboratory of School of Optometry & Ophthalmology Wenzhou Medical University.IOLMaster was employed to measure the ocular axial length,anterior chamber depth and corneal curvature radius.A multiple linear regression model was established to analyze the influences of axial length,anterior chamber depth and corneal curvature radius to angle Kappa.Results An efficacious regression equation was established as Y =15.554-0.587X1+0.724X2+ 0.232X3 with the independent variables as axial length(X1),anterior chamber depth (X2),corneal curvature (X3) and dependent variable as horizontal angle Kappa (Y) (R =0.788,R2 =0.621,P =0.000).Horizontal angle Kappa showed a negative correlation with axial length (b1 =-0.587,β1 =-1.002,P =0.000) and a positive correlation with anterior chamber depth (b2 =0.724,β32 =0.296,P =0.030).No significant correlation was found between corneal curvature radius and horizontal angle Kappa (b3 =-0.232,β3 =-0.068,P=0.338).A new regression equation was Y =14.235-0.622X1 + 0.824X2 after removed the corneal curvature variable (R =0.786,R2=0.618,P =0.000),with a negative correlation between horizontal angle Kappa and axial length (b1 =-0.622,β1 =-1.062,P＜0.05) or positive correlation between horizontal angle Kappa and the anterior chamber depth (b2 =0.824,β2 =0.337,P＜0.05).In addition,a multiple linear regression equation among 3 independent variables and dependent variable of vertical angle Kappa was Y =0.492-0.020X1 +0.038X2 +0.089X3 (R =0.436,R2 =0.191,P =0.000).However,no significant correlations were seen between vertical angle Kappa and axial length,anterior chamber depth or corneal curvature radius (all at P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Ocular axial length and anterior chamber depth have an obvious influence to horizontal but not vertical angle Kappa.Axial length appears to have more influence to horizontal angle Kappa than anterior chamber depth.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the occurrence of ADR induced by over-the-counter(OTC)drug in order to guide the rational use of drugs. METHODS:45 cases of ADR induced by OTC drug were analyzed retrospectively in terms of patient's gen-eral information,allergic history,allergenic drugs,reason for drug use,route of administration,incubation period,days of hospi-talization,clinical manifestation,treatment,outcome,etc. RESULTS:Among 45 patients,there were 14 male and 31 female. The patients were mainly 20-30 year-old(31.1%). Three patients had previous history of allergy(6.7%). Most ADR were induced by oral drugs(82.2%). Reasons for drug use were mainly disease of respiratory system(23 cases,51.1%). The results of causality as-sessment were positive in 3 patients(6.7%),probable in 35(n=77.8%),and possible in 7 patients(15.6%). ADR were mainly induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs,57.8%),Chinese patent medicine (20.0%),drugs for external use (17.8%). The clinical manifestations mainly included exanthematous drug eruption (33.3%),erythama multiforme drug eruption (24.4%),urticarial drug eruption(13.3%). CONCLUSIONS:NSAIDs are the main allergenic drugs,and ADR induced by OTC traditional Chinese medicine can not be ignored. To improve medical knowledge and skills of the public and the scientific use of OTC drug are beneficial to improve the clinical treatment level.

Objective To study the influence of postoperative chemotherapeutic regimens on menstruation in pre-menopausal patients with breast cancer. Methods 120 pre-menopausal patients with breast cancer from Jan 2010 to Dec 2012 were followed-up. The occurrence rate and recovery rate of chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea (CIA) were analyzed. The relationship between different chemotherapeutic regimens and CIA of various age groups was analyzed. Results 120 women were followed-up, 94 (78.3 %) patients developed CIA. The frequency of CIA in younger patients (≤ 35 years) was significantly lower than that in patients older than 35 years (P < 0.05). 50 (53.2 %) patients returned to normal menses. The recovery situation of CIA was significantly different among various age groups (P < 0.05). The difference of the occurrence rate of CIA was not statistically significant between the patients who received anthracycline-based chemotherapy and docetaxel-based chemotherapy (P > 0.05). Conclusions Age is an important influence factor of the CIA. Chemotherapy has less influence on the menstruation of younger patients (≤35 years) and most amenorrhea is reversible. The effects of sequential addition of taxanes in chemotherapy and anthracyclines alone on menstruation have no significant difference.
