Objective To evaluate the value of occlusion of congenital heart disease(CHD) combined with pulmonary artery hypertension (PH) by color Doppler echocardiography. Methods Experimental transcatheter closure was performed in 209 patients suffering from CHD with PH, which included 86 cases of atrial septal defect(ASD), 17 cases of ventricular septal defect(VSD) and 106 cases of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA). All patients were occluded experimentally in order to determin whether or not to be the dynamia type of PH. During the process, whether pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP) was stepped down and the degraded degree were detected by echocardiography. Results After 209 cases were done trial occlusion from half an hour to an hour,PASP of 136 cases of lihgt PH patients dropped to normal; in 46 cases of midrange PH patients,PASP of 30 cases dropped to normal,PASP of 16 cases dropped to light; in 17 cases of sever PASP patients,PASP of 9 cases dropped to midrange,PASP of 6 cases stepped down over 30 mmHg,whieh those patients were occluded permanently. PASP failed to respond in 2 cases sever PH after the procedure,implied resistant PH, the permanent transcatheter closure was not recommended and the device was removed. Conclusions PASP can be estimated by color Doppler echocardiography before,during and after occlusion,which could judge reversibility of PH.

Objective To explore the relationship between general self-efficacy sense and psycho-logical health of nursing staff. Methods 230 healthy nursing staff were investigated with self-rating de-pression scale, serf-rating anxiety scale and general serf-efficacy scale. Correlation analysis and t test were adopted to analyze the data. Results There was a negative correlation between the scores of general self-efficacy scale and the scores of self-rating anxiety and depression scale. Moreover, the scores of anxi-ety and depression of nursing staff with higher self-efficacy were higher than those with lower self-effica-cy. Conclusions Self-efficacy sense has positive effects on the level of psychological health of nursing staff. The higher self-efficacy sense will help maintain higher psychological health state.

Node negative breast cancer is a prevalent form of breast cancer .With the improvement of breast cancer screening and disease awareness ,the rates of node negative breast cancer are gradually increasing . Although node negative breast cancer patients have much lower recurrence rates as compared with node positive patients,node-negative breast cancer is unequal to a low risk disease .Thus,it is important for oncologist to esti-mate the risk factors of node negative disease ,to carry out risk assessment and to guide the best regimen for these patients.In current review ,we discuss the value of traditional prognostic factors and new prognostic factors ,such as the urokinase -type plasminogen activator/plasminogen activator inhibitor 1,oncotype DX,MammaPrint and tumor associated macrophages ,on the predictive and treatment decisions in node negative breast cancer .

Objective To explore the relationship between H.pylori (HP) infection and the functional dyspepsia (FD) by 4-lead electrogastrography (EGG). Methods The data of the gastric electrical activity of 163 children with FD, includ-ing 103 children with HP infection (group A), 60 without HP infection (group B) and 22 healthy controls (group C) were mea-sured by 4-lead EGG, which included normal slow wave percentage (N%), bradygastria percentage (B%), tachygastria per-centage (T%) and motilin uneven rhythm percentage (A%). EGG frequency and power examination included the main fre-quency (DF), the main power (DP) and postprandial/pre-prandial gastric electrical main power ratio (P/R). EGG data was compared between three groups. Results There was significant difference in pre-prandial and postprandial percentage of different slow wave frequency between group A and group B. There were no significant differences in pre-prandial and post-prandial changes of DF and DP between group A and group B. There was no significant difference in the pre-prandial and postprandial percentage change of different slow wave frequencies in 84 HP negative patients. But the significant change was found in pre-prandial and postprandial change of DF, DP and P/R. Conclusion The eradication of HP improved the gas-tric electrical activity and relieved the postprandial symptom in children with functional dyspepsia under HP infection.

Objective To observe the influence of the sperm abnormalities on conventional invitro fertilization therapy outcome. Methods Sperm of 105 infertile husband's semen was analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to the sperm morphology observed Using Kruger 's criteria: normal sperm morphology group (sperm normal morphology ≥ 15 % ), mild sperm abnormalities group( sperm normal morphology 10%- 15%), middle sperm abnormalities group (sperm normal morphology 5 % - 10 % ). Fertilization rate, cleavage rate, good quality embryo rate, implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rates were compared to study the influence of the sperm abnormalities on conventional IVF outcome. Results ①Fertilization rate(79.4 % vs 78.3 % ), cleavage rate(104. 6% vs98. 6%), good quality embryo rate(58. 1% vs 53. 9%), implantation rate (31.7% vs 30. 8%), clinical pregnancy rate(48.1% vs 42. 3%)and abortion rates(13.0% vs 18. 2%)were not significantly different between normal sperm morphology group and mild sperm abnormalities group(P>0. 05). ②The fertilization rate (79.4% vs 63.9%), good quality embryo rate(58. 14% vs 48.23%), implantation rate (31.7% vs 16. 7%) and clinical pregnancy rate(48.1%vs24.0%) of the normal sperm morphology group were higher than middle sperm abnormalities group(P<0.05). The abortion rates(13.04% vs 28. 57%) and cleavage rates(104.6% vs 102.9%) were not significantly different(P>0. 05). ③The fertilization rate (78.3% vs 63.9%), good quality embryo rate (53. 9%vs 48. 2%) of the mild sperm morphology group were higher than middle sperm abnormalities group(P <0.05). Implantation rate (30.8% vs 16. 7%) , clinical pregnancy rate(42.3% vs 24.0%) , abortion rates(13. 0% vs 28. 6%) and cleavage rates(104.6% vs 102.9%) were not significantly different (P>0. 05). Conclusions There is a significant influence of middle sperm abnormalities on IVF fertilization rate, good quality embryo rate, implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate. However, it could not be influenced on mild sperm abnormalities.
