Objective To evaluate the curative effect of layering fibula feet cushion to prevent deep venous thrombosis(DVT) after total hip replacement(THA).Methods 100 patients who underwent THA were divided into two groups at random.The research group was applied layering fibula feet cushion while the control group was applied general feet cushion.VAS,the occurrence rate of DVT,disappearance time of feet swelling and Harris hip function score were used to evaluate the curative effect.Results In according to these four observation indexes,the score of the research group was better than the control group.The effective rate of the research group was 96％,while the control group was 82％.There was a significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions The layering fibula feet cushion can effectively prevent deep venous thrombosis after total hip replacement.It can be generalized and applied in clinical nursing.

Objective: To establish the GC fingerprints of essential oil for Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. to control the quality. Methods:The temperature of the feed inlet and detector was both 250℃, the carrier gas was nitrogen, and the flow rate was 2 ml· min-1 . The essential oil from ten batches of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. was analyzed by GC-MS to determine the characteristic peaks and the similarity was studied as well. Results:The GC fingerprints of essential oil from Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. was established, and totally 13 characteristic peaks were calibrated with high similarity. Conclusion: The method is simple, precise and reliable. The established fingerprints can be used as one of the quality control index for essential oil from Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. .

Objective To report the clinical experience of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)in the emergency management of fulminant myocarditis.Methods The patient,an 11 year-old boy,had fever for 4 day and abdominal pain,vomiting for 1 day and anuria for 12 hours.Electrocardiogram showed Ⅲ atrial-ventricular block,multifocal ventricular rhythm,bundle branch block,convulsivum multifocal ventricular tachycardia,extensive low voltage,ST-T elevation at lead Ⅰ,AVR,V1,V2,V3;and there were ST-T intrusion,T wave inversion at lead Ⅱ,Ⅲ,AVR,AVF,V4～5.Blood creatine kinase was 2 161 U/L,reatine kinase isoenzyme 109 U/L,α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 612 U/L,lactate dehydrogenase 696 U/L,troponin Ⅰ 22.1 U/L.Echocardiogram showed right atrium 4.4 mm,right ventricular 2.3 mm,severe tricuspid valve regurgitation,left ejection fraction 33％,left ventricular fractional shortening 15％,ventricular wall motion dyssynchrony.Blood lactate was 4.0 mmol/L.The patient's condition was still unstable after using dobutamin,dopamine,milrinone,furosemide,large dose methylprednisolone,intravenous human immunoglobin,phosphocreatine and so on.ECMO was used for cardio-pulmonary support.It is necessary to monitoring the consciousness,temperature,heart rate,respiration,blood pression,SaO2,urinary volume,ariterial blood gas,blood electrolytes,blood lactate,blood glucose,liver function,renal function,blood routine,activated clotting time(ACT),lower extremity blood supply and so on.ACT was maintained at 160～200 s.Heparin was used persistently[5～10 U/(kg·min)].Results ECMO system had been successfully used for 7 days.The cardiac function of the patient was improved significantly.There was no complication,such as hemorrhage,infection,and embolism.Heart arrest in the patient occurred three times,ventricular fibrillation and ventricular flutter occurred one time respectively during ECMO.The rhythm was recovered by electric defibrillation and antiarrhythmic drugs.On day 20,the patient was discharged.At the time of hospital discharge,the patient demonstrated good activity,with normal myocardial enzymes.The echocardiogram showed the size of the cardiac chambers and the contractile function of the myocardia were normal.Electrocardiogram showed Ⅰ degree atrial-ventricular block,complete right bundle branch block.Two weeks later,the electrocardiogram demonstrated complete right bundle branch block.Echocardiogram showed septal thickening(0.9 cm).Two months later,the electrocardiogram was just as that of two weeks before.Echocardiogram showed septal thickening(0.7 cm).The children had no symptom after he was discharged and acted without limitation.Conclusion ECMO is a kind of effective treatment for fulminant myocarditis.The key to desirable therapeutic effect is the timing of its application.

Objective To compare the effect and safety of stenting versus directional atherectomy (DA) in the treatment of TASCⅡ A and B superficial femoral artery lesions.Methods 100 patients with TASC Ⅱ A and B lesions were divided into percutaneous transluminal stenting(PTS) group (n =50) and DA group (n =50).Patients were compared in terms of technical success rate,treatment success rate,first operation cost,postoperative ankle brachial index (ABI),limb salvage rate,survival,and patency.Results The technical success rate in both PTS and DA group was 100％.The treatment success rate was 98％ vs.86％,P＞0.05.Postoperative ABI:0.82 ±0.19 vs.0.80 ±0.27,P＞0.05.First operation cost:(34 820 ± 1 051) yuan vs.(45 635 ± 1 358) yuan,P ＜0.001;All patients were followed-up for up to 2-year,the cumulative patency rate was 81.6％ vs.72.9％ (P＞0.05).Limb salvage rate was 97.9％ vs.93.8 ％,P ＞ 0.05.Conclusion There were no significant differences in the effect and safety of PTS versus DA in the treatment of TASCⅡ A and B superficial femoral artery lesions.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of smoking cessation on the risk of cancer among male subjects.

METHODSParticipants of this study were derived from the workers in Kailuan Group who took the health check-up examination in its 11 affiliated hospitals. The check-up examinations were given biennially based on uniformed standard. From May 2006 to December 2011, health examinations were given for 3 rounds and a total of 104 809 male workers involved. The date of being enrolled in this study was defined as that of taking first check-up, and the date of end-of-observation was defined as that of cancer diagnosis, death or end of follow-up.

INCLUSION CRITERIAage ≥18 while being enrolled in this study, and there was no information missing in the questionnaire for age (or date of birth), smoking status, the age of starting smoking, the age of quitting smoking, and smoking amount. The information of smoking status was collected by questionnaires, and the information of newly-diagnosed cancer cases was obtained by follow-up. After adjusted for age, education background, drinking habits, working environment and BMI, multi-variate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the association between smoking cessation and cancer risk (all sites of cancers, smoking-related cancers, and lung cancer) by calculating the values of HR (hazard ratio) and 95% CI (confidence interval).

RESULTSTotally, 104 809 subjects were followed up for 450 639.6 person-years, including 46 013 smokers (43.90%), 51 624 never-smokers (49.26%), and 7 172 smoking quitters (6.84%). Among all these subjects, 1 323 were diagnosed as cancer cases, including 1 082 smoking-related cancers, of which 378 were lung cancer cases. The results showed that, compared with never-smokers, smokers had increased risks for all sites of cancers (HR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.20- 1.59), smoking-related cancers (HR=1.45, 95% CI: 1.24- 1.69) and lung cancer (HR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.31- 2.21). While compared with the smokers, smoking quitters had decreased risk of lung cancer (HR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.20- 0.65). For the smokers with smoking history ≥20 pack-years, HR (95% CI) of lung cancer incidence was 0.09 (0.01- 0.65). For people age ≥60 smoke quitter, HR (95% CI) of lung cancer incidence was 0.33 (0.16- 0.68). For people who quit ≥10 years, HR (95% CI) of lung cancer incidence was 0.19(0.06- 0.58).

CONCLUSIONSmoking cessation might decrease the risk of lung cancer among male smokers. The risk of lung cancer was lower among the smoking quitters with longer history of smoking, older age, and longer years of quitting smoking.
