Objective To discuss postoperative analgesia effect of patient automatic controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and cocktail therapy (CT) after total hip replacement. Methods Eighty-eighty patients of selective total hip replacement were selected, and the patients were divided into PCEA group and CT group by random digits table method with 44 cases each. The postoperative resting state and active state visual analogue score (VAS), dosage of opioid, discharge time, postoperative complications, postoperative sleep quality score and hip joint mobility were compared between 2 groups. Results The resting state and active state VAS in PCEA group 12, 24 and 48 h after operation were significantly lower than those in CT group, resting state: (3.68 ± 1.45) scores vs. (4.23 ± 1.14) scores, (2.61 ± 1.04) scores vs. (3.92 ± 1.23) scores and (2.31 ± 0.97) scores vs. (3.56 ± 1.21) scores, active state:(4.54 ± 1.63) scores vs. (5.87 ± 2.11) scores, (3.51 ± 0.94) scores vs. (4.34 ± 1.07) scores and (3.01 ± 0.95) scores vs. (4.05 ± 1.17) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). But there were no statistical differences in VAS 72 h after operation and at discharge between 2 groups (P>0.05). The dosage of opioid in PCEA group was significantly lower than that in CT group:(9.58 ± 5.35) mg vs. (11.27 ± 4.48) mg, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The incidences of nausea vomiting and headache dizziness in CT group were significantly lower than those in PCEA group: 20.45% (9/44) vs. 45.45% (20/44) and 4.55% (2/44) vs. 13.64% (6/44), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in length of hospital stay, postoperative sleep quality score and postoperative hip joint mobility between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Choice of analgesic regimen of choice should not be made only according to the length of hospital stay. Individualized treatment is recommended. According to specific circumstances and needs of patients, patients with less anesthetics and a tendency to nausea should use PCEA, and for chronic pain patients CT may be more effective.

Objective To investigate the value of DNA image cytometry in thediagnose of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids by comparing with the liquid-based cytological results. Methods There were 417 cases in-volved in this study. Pap stain for cytology analysis and feulgen stain for DNA image cytometry were used to identify benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids respectively,then compared the results of the two methods. Results Clinically or pathologically,213 were classified as malignant and the other 204 as benign. The sensitivity, specifici-ty,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue of DNA image cytometry were 89. 7%,100%, 94. 7%,100%,and 90. 3%,respectively. However,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of liquid-based cytology were 63. 4%, 81. 9%, 72. 4%, 78. 5%, and 68. 2%, re-spectively. There were significant differences in thesensitivity, specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue. Conclusion DNA image cytometry has great application value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids, and can increase the positive rate, reduce misdiagnosed rate with liquid-based cytology.

BACKGROUND: Autism is a kind of severe growth and development disorder that occurs in the infant period. It is basically characterized by social communication disorder, language development disorder, narrow area of interest, and stereotyped and repeated behavior to different extents, and is increasing in the worldwide. Education training is still taken as the major for the rehabilitation therapy of autism.OBJECTIVE: Case analysis is performed to provide elicitation for mainstreaming education training of children with autism and proper suggestions for education worker and children patients' parents.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Rehabilitation, Nanjing Technical College of Special Education; Nanjing Shangxinhe Primary School.PARTICIPANTS: One male child patient, born in June 1998, was diagnosed as autism by Shenyang Children's Hospital. They met the diagnostic criteria of infantile autism of the 4th edition of diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (1994, USA).METHODS: Comprehensive intervention was performed in the child with autism for 5 months. Education measures consist of: ① to well accept class learning. ② showing merits in class. ③ to well apply learning contents in life. ④ to establish friendship. ⑤ to establish good behaviors and eliminate abnormal behaviors. ⑥ to pay more attention in class.⑦ to train the perceptivity in class. ⑧ to choose proper examination methods. ⑨ to establish pleasant and confluent plate time. The procedures were as follows: we had one telephone interview to the teachers and parents of child patient every day, one face-to-face communication with the teachers, parents and classmates of child patient every week. Education strategy was regulated in time aiming to the concrete condition of child patient.Wechsler Intelligence scale was used to measure the intelligence quotient (IQ) at the beginning and end of the experiment. The changes in behavioral performance in class and playtime of patient were summed up.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patient at the end of the experiment. ② Changes in the behavioral performance of patient in class. ③ Changes in the behavioral performance of child patient in playtime.RESULTS: ① Measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patients at the end of the experiment were as follows: verbal IQ 80 points, performance IQ 110 points, full scale IQ 95 points. There was 30-point discrepancy between performance IQ and verbal IQ, and 9 points between the highest and lowest scores. The imbalance of intelligence development had turned better.② Changes in behavioral performance in class: The child patient was basically the same as other children. He could attend a class silently, followed the teacher to learn, did not disturb class, and show his brilliance with proper style. ③ Changes in the behaviors in playtime: made friends; was interested and participated in the games of the classmates, entered the classroom when he heard the ring without the help from the teacher.CONCLUSION: After 5-month rehabilitation training, the mainstreaming status of patient with autism is significantly improved as compared with before intervention. Application of various rehabilitation-training methods can improve the education effect of patient with autism.

Objective To summarize the herbal medication in treating malignant ascites based on literature. Methods TCM literatures concerning malignant ascites from CNKI (1989.1-2013.3) were retrieved. The herbs and those category, nature, flavor and meridian distribution were summarized by frequency method. The couple herbs were analyzed by hierarchical cluster analysis. Results Fifty-five qualified documents and 56 effective prescriptions were collected. A total of 164 herbs were used (668 frequencies). Six groups of herbs, cumulative relative frequency (CRF) of 61.83%, were used frequently in order as follows:the herbs for promoting diuresis and resolving dampness, invigorating qi, invigorating the blood and removing blood stasis, regulating qi, eliminating heat and toxin, excreting drastically water. The most frequently used herbs (>6 frequencies, CRF 53.74%) had 25 species. The first three places were the herbs for promoting diuresis and resolving dampness (5 species), invigorating qi (4 species), invigorating the blood and removing blood stasis (3 species). These herbs were mostly of warm nature (260 frequencies, 38.92%). The total frequency of herb-nature was 1055 and the sweet (354 frequencies, 33.55%), bitter (284 frequencies, 26.92%) and pungent (268 frequencies, 25.40%) herbs were used more frequently. The total frequency of meridian distribution was 1747 and these herbs were mostly attributed to spleen, lung, liver, and kidney meridians (>200 frequencies). The most frequently used couple-herbs included Poria and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Radix Astragali and Ramulus Cinnamomi, etc. Conclusion Invigorating qi was emphasized in treating malignant ascites, combined with promoting diuresis. The herbs of the warm and cold nature, the sweet, bitter and pungent flavor, spleen, lung, liver and kidney meridians were most frequently used.
