Objective To discuss the early diagnosis of severe perioperative biliary infection complicated with DIC and efficacy of comprehensive treatment for it. Methods Comprehensive treat-ment was conducted in 21 patients who had intensive biliary infection complicated with DIC. The he-moglutination function was monitored before and after treatment. Results Of the 21 patients, 19 were cured and 2 dead. The curative rated was 90.5 %. The hemorrhage tendency was controlled, abdomi-nal bleeding stopped, prothrombin time (PT) obviously reduced, content of fibrinogen (Fbg)in-creased, level of D-dimer and FDPs obviously dropped. Conclusion The patients who have biliary in-fection in the perioperative period are easy to suffer from DIC and the mortality is high. Early diagno-sis and comprehensive therapy, especially the application of the cryofibrinogen and heparin, are very important.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative CT (QCT) body component parameters before and after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) as prognostic indicator for patients with hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients with advanced HCC who received TACE treatment in Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from November 2013 to May 2017, all of them received QCT scanning before and after treatment. The information were recorded, including gender, age, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), TNM stage, liver function Child-Pugh grade, portal venous thromboembolism, cirrhosis, maximum tumor diameter, tumor type, and frequency of interventional therapy. QCT parameters were measured before and after treatment, including L1, L2 bone mineral density (BMD), L3-level paravertebral muscle area (MA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA) and visceral fat area (VFA), and the change rate of QCT parameters (ΔBMD, ΔMA, ΔSFA, ΔVFA) before and after TACE were calculated after the QCT scan interval was standardized. The cut-off values of ΔBMD, ΔMA, ΔSFA and ΔVFA to diagnose the prognosis of HCC patients after TACE were obtained by drawing the ROC curves. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate, the Log-rank method was used for univariate analysis, and the Cox regression analysis model was used for multivariate analysis to screen out independent factors affecting the prognosis of HCC patients after TACE.Results:ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off values of ΔBMD, ΔMA, ΔSFA and ΔVFA to diagnose the prognosis of HCC patients after TACE were -8.64%, -6.84%, -9.84% and 5.70%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that AFP, TNM stage, liver function Child-Pugh grade, portal venous thrombosis, tumor type and ΔMA, ΔSFA, ΔVFA had statistically significant effects on prognosis ( P<0.1). Multivariate analysis showed that ΔMA, ΔVFA and portal venous thromboembolism were independent influencing factors for the prognosis of HCC patients after TACE treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ΔMA, ΔVFA and portal venous thromboembolism have reference value for prognosis assessment of TACE treatment for HCC patients, and QCT body composition analysis is helpful to evaluate the prognosis of HCC patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of plaque staining test on periodontal health of middle-aged and elderly patients with dental implants. Methods Ninety patients with dental implants were included in the study and divided into test group (n=45) and control group (n=45) by using random digit table. In the test group, the patients were all instructed with both routine health education and dental plaque dyeing education, while the control group received routine health education only. The plaque index (PLI) and gingival index (GI) were assessed at months 1 and 6 after implant restoration. Results One month after dental implantation, there were no significant differences in PLI and GI between the two groups (P>0.05), while 6 months after the implantation, the differences in PLI and GI between them were significantly different ( P<0 . 01 ) . Conclusion The plaque dyeing technology applied in the oral health education to elderly patients with dental implants can reduce plaque index and gingival index so that their periodontal health is enhanced.

Objective To investigatethe quality of life of patients with oral cancer in different period in a hospital, and to explore the impact of patients' psychological status on their quality of life. Methods 50 cases of oral cancer patients in our hospital were investigated in this study by Convenience sampling method. The scale of the hospital anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, the Japanese version), the quality of life of cancer patients were measured by the scale (FACT-G); the functional evaluation of tumor therapy- head and neck questionnaire (FACT-H&N). Results The comparison of HADS score between patients before and after surgery showed that the improvement of mental status was not obvious in the postoperative patients.The scores of HADS between patients before surgery and after hospital showed that the improvement of mental status was obvious (t=-2.809, P=0.01; t=-3.828, P=0.003). There were significant differences in HADS anxiety and depression-related factors between different periods (F=7.644,P=0.001;F=6.442,P=0.002);Before surgery,patients with low anxiety and depression had higher scores in both emotional and physical functional dimensions, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=7.882,5.847,6.870,7.262, P<0.05 or 0.01). The scores of the two groups were higher in the whole life quality dimension after surgery,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t=3.640-7.931,P<0.01 or 0.01).There were significant differences in body function and psychological function scores between different periods(F=8.569, P=0.000; F=10.250, P=0.003). Conclusions Oral cancer patients have a higher level of anxiety and depression before and after surgery, and psychological status of patients with a certain impact on quality of life, it should be targeted for individual characteristics of patients with targeted care measures to improve the psychological status of patients,thereby improving the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory mechanism of compatibility of ginseng and gecko dispensing granule on kidney yang deficiency model rats. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (no modeling ,no administration),model group (modeling,no administration ),Jinkui shenqi pill group (modeling,dose of 2.33 g/kg),ginseng group(modeling,dose of 0.53 g/kg),gecko group (modeling,dose of 0.21 g/kg)and compatibility group (modeling,ginseng 0.53 g/kg and gecko 0.21 g/kg). The body mass and anal temperature of rats were measured at different time points ;the serum levels of cAMP ,cGMP,CRH,ACTH,CORT,T,T3,T4,E2,IgG and IgM were measured ;the pathomorphological changes of adrenal gland ,thyroid gland and testis were observed ;mRNA expression of CRH ,thyroid stimulating hormone releasing hormone (TRH)and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)in hypothalamus were detected. RESULTS Compared with model group ,the anal temperature ,the levels of cAMP ,CRH,ACTH,CORT,T3,T and cAMP/cGMP ,T/E2 in serum and mRNA expressions of TRH and GnRH in hypothalamus were significantly increased in the compatibility group (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the levels of cGMP,E2 and IgG in serum and mRNA expression of CRH in hypothalamus decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the pathological injuries of adrenal gland ,thyroid gland and testis were all improved. Compared with ginseng or gecko dispensing granules alone ,the anal temperature and T/E 2 of rats in the compatibility group increased significantly ,and mRNA expression of CRH in hypothalamus decreasedsignificantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Thecompatibility of ginseng and gecko dispensing granule has a synergistic regulatory effect on kidney yang deficiency model rats , the mechanism of which may be associated with hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis , hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis , hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and neuroendocrine immune network formed by immune function. Compatible drugs are better than single drugs.
