Objective: To investigate the large-scale medical equipment daily maintenance and repair, prolong the service life of equipment, instruments, improve the comprehensive benefits of hospital. Methods: A comprehensive analysis of the current large-scale medical equipment maintenance and repair method, maintenance and repair in the running of the machine, improve the supervision and management mechanism, strengthen the equipment in use and repair personnel in their daily training and incentive measures, enhance the preventive maintenance of equipment, reduce equipment failures. Results:Through the analysis to find out the feasible repair measures, extending the service life of equipment, reduce hospital investment costs, increase economic and social benefit of hospitals. Conclusion:Rational use of large-scale medical equipment, improving the economic benefit and social benefit.

Rehabilitation of infants and children with disabilities focuses on enhancing their abilities to perform tasks and participate meaningfully in everyday activities. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a rehabilitative model which characterises the child’s functioning and health in the context of relevant personal and environmental factors that can facilitate or hinder performance. Using the ICF framework, the general principles of rehabilitating infants and children with disabilities are: 1. Family-centred care with effective communication and collaboration of members within the multi-disciplinary team; 2. Address fundamental needs of a growing infant and child; 3. Intervention to improve body functions and structures; 4. Encourage participation in patient and family meaningful activities. The primary health care provider plays an integral role in managing infants and children with disabilities.

0.05).Conclusion Epidural anesthesia with 0.75% ropivacaine and 0.5% levobupivacaine for cesarean section may produce equivalent clinical effects.Pharmacokinetic parameters of them are similar,with a good prospect for clinical application.

Objective To explore the effects of Stilnox on the blood pressure and quality of life(QOL)in pa- tients with hypertension and insomnia.Methods 80 patients with hypertension and insomnia were received am- lodipine(5mg qd)as control group and amlodipine(5mg qd)plus stilnox(10mg qn)as treatment group in visit order for 8 weeks'follow up.Values of blood pressure were recorded and QOL data were assessed at the beginning and end of therapy with questionnaire.Results Blood pressure was significantly reduced in both groups(P

Objective To study the etiology,clinical presentation,MR images,treatment and prog-nosis of spontaneous spinal epidural and subdural hematoma.Methods From1995to2002,6cases diag-nosed as spontaneous spinal epidural and subdural hematoma were reviewed retrospectively.All of the pa-tients were males aging from30to68years with an average of 47years.The onset was acute while the pa-tients were in resting or light activity without prior history of any infection,administration of drugs or trau-ma.One patient had the history of hypertension,and another one was found to have diabetes after admission.The clinical characteristics were sudden pain involving neck,shoulder,chest and back,then dysfunction of motion and sensation of extremities and sphincter within few minutes.4cases of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma were located at T 5~6 ,T 2~4 ,C 4~5 and C 6 ~T 1 respectively,and2cases of spontaneous spinal subdu ral hematoma at C 7 ~T 1 and C 7 ~T 2 respectively.Results All cases were proved with surgery and pathology.MR imaging showed occupying mass in the posterior or posteriolateral region inside the spinal canal.T 1 -weighted imaging was most useful owing to its typical signal changes with the hematoma.T 2 -weighted gra-dient echo sequence was capable to identify epidural and subdural spinal hematoma.Total laminectomy and hematoma debridement were performed.The outcome was closely related to the interval between the onset and surgery.The patients were followed up from6to18months with an average of 10months.All cases showed no significant improvement of spinal cord function except 5cases with incomplete recovery of sphincter function.Conclusion Spontaneous spinal epidural and subdural hematoma are rare entities.MRI is a most helpful diagnostic tool for this disorder.It should be stressed that early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are of great importance for prognosis of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma.

Diabetic microangiopathy is one of the most common chronic diabetic complications,which is associated with the genetic predispositions and environmental factors.Well-controlled blood glucose alone can not reduce the morbility or prevent the process of diabetic microangiopathy.The therapy aiming at the pathogenesis is an urgent request.The various proteins related to the development and progression of diabetic microangiopathiy were reviewed,aiming at providing the potential target for early diagnosis and efficient therapy.
