OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Pudilan xiaoyan oral liquid combined with bronchial dil-atation drugs in the treatment of moderate to severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). METHODS:According to admission time,102 patients with stable moderate to severe COPD were randomly divided into treatment group(n=53)and con-trol group(n=49). Control group received Budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation and Tiotropium bromide pow-der for inhalation;based on control group,treatment group was additionally treated with Pudilan xiaoyan oral liquid,10 ml/time, 3 times a day, for 12 weeks. The lung function index, number of acute COPD attack, modified medical research council (mMRC),CAT and CCQ were performed and comparison in the two groups. RESULTS:After 12 weeks of treatment,the IC of treatment group was improved significantly,compared to before treatment and control group;there was statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC%of treatment group after treatment,compared to before treat-ment and control group(P>0.05);there was no statistical significance in the number of acute COPD attack between 2 groups(P>0.05). mMRC,CAT score and CCQ total score of treatment group were improved significantly,compared to before treatment and control group;there was statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Pudilan xiaoyan oral liquid combined with bronchial dilatation drugs for inhalation is better than powder for inhalation in the treatment of moderate to serve stable COPD,can improve pulmonary function significantly,exercise tolerance and quality of life.

Background and purpose:Although FDG tumor imaging has been applied in clinic widely, dual-phase imaging can provide much more information about the FDG uptaking of pulmonary lesions. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of dual-phase18F-FDG coincidence detection SPECT/CT imaging in the differential diagnosis of the pulmonary lesions.Methods:There were 28 patients with pulmonary lesions which were detected by CT. All the patients undertook the SPECT/CT imaging at 2 time-phases respectively: early imaging at 40-60 min and delayed imaging at 2-3 h after the intravenous injection of FDG. Data processing: calculating the radio of T and N in early and delayed imaging respectively; T: The radioactive count of the lesions; N: The radioactive count of the normal tissue; and the change rate:ΔT/N. ROC was used to ifnd out the threshold of T1/N1, T2/N2及ΔT/N in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions. AUC was used to evaluate the diagnosis value of the dual-phase and single-phase imaging.Results:The threshold of T1/N1 in early imaging was 2.65, whereas AUC was 0.767. The sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were 83.3%, 30% and 64.3%, respectively. The threshold of T2/N2 in delayed imaging was 3.14, whereas AUC was 0.847. The sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were 94.4%, 60.0% and 82.1%, respectively. The threshold ofΔT/N in delayed imaging was 16.9%, whereas AUC is 0.950. The sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy were 88.5%, 71.4% and 86.2%, respectively.Conclusion:Dual-phase18F-FDG coincidence detection SPECT/CT imaging has much higher accuracy and speciifcity. However it still has false positivity, and should be analyzed with CT and clinical history.

OBJECTIVETo observe differences of immediate effect of twirling reinforcing-reducing manipulation at head acupoints on muscle force in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

METHODSA total of 126 patients who met the inclusive criteria were randomly divided into a twirling reinforcing group, a mild reinforcing-reducing group and a twirling reducing group, 42 cases in each one. The lines between Baihui (GV 20) and bilateral Taiyang (EX-HN 5) were selected and treated with successive insertion of three needles. The twirling reinforcing method was used in the twirling reinforcing group, and mild reinforcing-reducing method was used in the mild reinforcing- reducing group, and twirling reducing method was used in the twirling reducing group. Each needle was manipulated for 1 min, which was repeated once every 10 min. The needles were retained for 30 min. Muscle force was evaluated immediately after treatment.

RESULTS(1) Muscle force of upper limb: after acupuncture, the muscle force of proximal and remote ends were all improved significantly in three groups (all P < 0.05), which was more obvious in proximal end (all P < 0.05). The improvement of the muscle force of proximal end in the twirling reinforcing group was superior to those in the mild reinforcing-reducing group and twirling reducing group (both P < 0.05); the differences of the muscle force of remote end were not significant among three groups (all P > 0.05). (2) Muscle force of lower limb: after acupuncture, the muscle force of proximal and remote ends was all improved significantly in the three groups (all P < 0.05). The improvement of the muscle force of proximal end was superior to that of remote end in the twirling reinforcing group and mild reinforcing-reducing group (both P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe twirling reinforcing manipulation at head acupoints is superior to mild reinforcing-reducing and twirling reducing manipulation for muscle force in patients with acute ischemic stroke, which is more significant in proximal end of limbs.

Objective To determine the relationship between stressors and mental health among postgraduates in military medical universities. Methods This article analyzed population variable, mental health, the correlation of personality, coping styles and pressure based on Military Academy Graduate Student Stress Scale, Symptom Checklist-90, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Independent sample t-test and single factor analysis variance were used to compare the feel-ing of pressure differences among demographic variables groups and mental health differences between high and low pressure group. Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple step-wise regression analysis were performed to explore the relationship of personality, coping styles and feeling of pressure. Results ①There was significant difference on stressors among postgraduates in military medical universities (F=77.397, P=0.000), and LSD test showed that academic pressure> distribution pressure>economic pressure>marriage pressure>family pressure (P<0.05). ②Except phobic factors, SCL-90 total score and each dimension points of high stress group were significantly higher than that of low stress group (P<0.05).③Negative coping style and EPQ multiple dimensions significantly related to feeling of pressure values in post-graduate students. Neuroticism, lie and extroversion entered the regression equation (F=16.959,P=0.001) and together explained 19.0% of the total variance. Conclusion The pressure from teachers, academic, graduation distribution and application for jobs are the main source of pressure. And the students with high pressure sensitivity get poor mental health and tend to have neurotic personality traits and negative coping styles.

Objective To study the relationship between Tei index and the myocardial enzymes in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia. Methods Forty-four newborns with mild asphyxia,27 newborns with severe asphyxia and 20 healthy newborns hospitalized in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2008 were enrolled in this study.The peak E and peak A and E/A ratio at mitral valve,the ejection fraction,isovolumetric contraction time,isovolumetric relaxation time and Tei index were measured by conventional echocardiography,and aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,and cardiac troponin T were tested also.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time in the severe asphyxia newborns were 0.62±0.13,(47±7)ms and(52±8)ms,higher than those in the mild asphyxia newborns[0.51±0.14,(41±6)ms and(43±6)ms],those in the mild asphyxia newborns were higher than in the healthy newborns[0.39±0.12,(34±6)ms and (37±6)ms] (all P<0.01).Aspartate aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase,creatine kinase and its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T in the severe asphyxia newborns were higher than in the mild asphyxia newborns and healthy group(P<0.01).Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time were positively related to the myocardial enzymes.The positive relationships were more statistically significant in Tel index,creatine kinase,its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T(r=0.762,0.821,0.778,P<0.01).Conclusions Combination of Tei index and myocardial enzymes can not only be applied to assess the cardiac function in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia,but also to evaluate the degree of cardiac dysfunction accurately and dynamically.

Objective To evaluate prescribing antibiotics in medical patients visiting the polyclinic at 2008 Beijing Olympic Village for its further reasonable use. Methods Clinical prescriptions for all the medical patients at the polyclinic were reviewed retrospectively. Consistency between antibiotics prescriptions and their indications formulated before 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was evaluated, as well as related factors for their overuse. Results In total, 1537 patients visited the polyclinic and 1233 recipes were prescribed,with 956 patients (62. 2% ) with infections, including 809 (52. 6% ) of respiratory infections. One hundred and forty-nine of 1537 patients (9. 7% ) were treated with antibiotics, accounting for 12. 1 percent of all prescriptions, and 43 cases (28.9%) were identified as antibiotics overuse, including 39 cases with respiratory infections. Prevalence of antibiotics overuse was significantly more for patients of domestic employees than that for non-employees (34. 6% vs. 14.3% , P <0. 01 ), with art independent association between them (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.11 - 8. 50). Conclusions Although the polyclinic has successfully reduced unnecessary antibiotics use, their overuse remains to be reduced, and physicians' strict adhesion to indications for antibiotics use and patient education are essential for their rational use in primary care of China.
