The administration status of enteric coated aspirin in 348 diabetic patients aged over 40 from Xujiahui Subdistrict of Shanghai was surveyed. One hundred and two out 348 patients ( 29. 3% ) used aspirin regularly, among them only 36 cases used the correct dosage (75 - 162 mg/d), accounting for 10. 3% (36/348) of all patients surveyed. The results indicate that aspirin was not used properly in diabetic patients to prevent the heart and cerebrovascular diseases,and it is necessary for medical providers to promote health education for diabetic patients.

Based on the analysis of current status of medical service process including the service in out-patient, hospitalization, test, examination, nursing, and so on, the paper describes the bottlenecks and major existing problems of current medical service process. And it further discusses how to make full use of the advanced health information technology, make scientific and reasonable arrangements for all links of medical service, reconstruct medical service process facing the patients, and optimize and reengineer the medical service process.

A major task in clinical trials and researches is subject recruitment, however there probably exist ethical issues in the process of recruitment, such as the selection of subjects, recruitment methods, document de-scription,reward and compensation. This paper is to discuss the relevant ethical elements through cases analysis. It put forward that only obeying ethical codes, implementing informed consent, and playing the function of ethics com-mittee, the rights and interests of subjects can be protected.

lntraocular lens ( lOL) often has different degrees of tilt, decentration and rotation in the eye. The deflection of lOL is an important factor to impact on the visual quality of the patients with cataract surgeries. Vision was commonly used to evaluate visual quality before. ln recent years, some new methods are also introduced to evaluate visual quality, such as optical aberration, modulation transfer function ( MTF ) and subjective visual perception. They show that the lOL deflection will cause decreases in eyesight and MTF, cause increase in aberration, lead to ametropia and so on. Therefore, a better evaluation of the effects of lOL deflection on visual quality, has significance for lOL selection, positioning and cataract individualized treatment.

Electrical stimulation is a common technology to treat neurogenic bladder dysfunction secondary to supersacral spinal cord injury. This paper reviews the historical development of this treatment and current status.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of ropivacaine in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in the aged patients undergoing lower limb surgery. Methods Sixty patients, aged 65 and over, in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅱ-Ⅲ, and undergoing internal fixation surgery for lower limb bone fracture, were randomly assigned to three groups in equal number: group R1 (hypobaric ropivacaine for lumbar anesthesia), group R2 (hyperbaric ropivacaine for lumbar anesthesia) and group B (bupivacaine for lumbar anesthesia). The observed variables included the changes in blood pressure and heart rate, sensory block level and motor block status. The drug consumption in epidural anesthesia and the peri-operative side effects were noted. Results The anesthetic efficacy was satisfactory in all patients. The onset time of anesthesia in group B (54.05?3.80 s) was obviously shorter than that in group R1 and group R2 (61.10?4.96 and 60.95?3.94 s, respectively, P

Objective: Under the background of pension combined with medical service, for the elders to reasonably, effectively and fully utilize the medical resources, it is of vital significance to establish good medical con-sumptive behavior and consumption intention, to promote healthy old age and improve elders' health and happiness to help them cultivate a fine habit in their practical life. Methods: Based on the micro-survey data of investigation in Nanjing, this paper systematically analyzed the factors influencing elders' medical consumption behavior by using the theory of planned behavior and structural equation model. Results:Different factors were classified into behavioral at-titudes, subjective norms and perceived behavior control, and significant variables were found out through behavior model as well as though measuring their relative effects. Conclusion: There is no significant casual relationship be-tween the perceived behavior control and medical consumption behavioral intention. The elders' medical consumption behavior intention is affected by various social network relationships. The belief strength, normative belief, behavioral attitudes and subject norms can affect elders' medical consumption behavior.

A combination vaccine which consists of ≥2 immunogens is intended to provide protection against two or more diseases or against multiple serotypes of a single disease. The use of combination vaccines decrease the number of vaccine injections in the regular immunization schedules. However,the development of combination vaccines is more complicated than monovalent vaccines,preservatives and adjuvants used with one component may alter the potency of other components. Physical,chemical,and biological interactions between the components of combination vaccines must be considered to avoid detrimental effects on safety or efficacy. Therefore combination vaccines present unique challenges for product evaluation. This paper presents a review of research application status,the evaluation of effectiveness and safety,as well as development prospects on combination vaccines.

Objective To investigate the CT presenting rate and features of gastric bare area (GBA, including the area posterior to GBA and the adipose tissue in the gastrophrenic ligament) without pathologic changes.Methods Thirty cases with superior peritoneal ascites, but without pathological involvement of GBA were included into the study to show the normal condition of GBA, including the presenting rate and CT features. We selected some cases with GBA invasion by inflammation or neoplasm to observe their CT features. Results All cases with superior peritoneal ascites showed the GBA against the contrast of ascites with the presenting rate of 100%. The GBA appeared at the level of gastric esophageal conjunction and completely disappeared at the level of hepato duodenal ligament and Winslow’s foramen. The maximum scope of GBA presented at the level of the sagital part of the left portal vein with mean right to left distance of (4.39? 0.08 )cm (3.8～5.7 cm) (distance between the left and right layer of the gastrophrenic ligament). In acute pancreatitis, the width of GBA increased, in which local hypo density area could be seen. In gastric leiomyosarcoma invading GBA, the mass could not separate from the crus of the diaphragm. In lymphoma and metastasis invading GBA, the thickness of GBA increased and the density was heterogeneous, in which lymph nodes presenting as small nodes or fused mass. Conclusion The results of this study show that it is helpful to use contrast enhanced spiral CT scanning to observe the change of GBA and to diagnose retroperitoneal abnormalities that involving GBA comprehensively and accurately.
