Objective To observe the serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level and to analysis the relations between the serum cTnI level and prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Cardiac Dysfunction.Methods Serum cardiac cTnI level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Results The serum cTnI level in DCM patients with class IV cardiac function (0.53 ?0.31) ?g/L was significantly higher than in DCM patients with class Ⅲ cardiac function (0.45?0.27) ?g/L.There was significantly difference in serum cTnI levels between DCM patients with class Ⅲ cardiac function and DCM patients with class Ⅱ cardiac function(0.29?0.27) ?g/L.Conclusion The higher serum cTnI level is correlated with the severity of cardiac function and may be useful for evaluating prognosis in patients with DCM.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among self consistency and congruence,the feeling of inadequacy(FIS) and anxiety as well as the mediating effect of FIS between self consistency and congruence and anxiety.MethodsA total of 1164 students recruited from two medical colleges in Hebei province using cluster random sampling were investigated with scale for the feeling of inadequacy,self consistency and congruence scale and rating anxiety scale.ResultsThe relevance ratio of anxiety in Hebei medical colleges students was 42.7%.There were significant differences in the detection rate among genders(male:46.4%,female:40.5%),grade(freshman:38.9%,sophomore:41.0%,junior:47.5%)and family economic status(Preferably:38.5%,commonly:40.1%,badly:50.8%) in medical students(all P<0.05).There were no statistical significance for the incidence rates of students from different origins(P>0.05).Anxiety score was positively correlated with the score of self consistency and congruence(r=0.274,P<0.01),and was negatively correlated with the score of the feeling of inadequacy (r=-0.364,P<0.01).And the score of self consistency and congruence was negatively correlated with the score of feeling inadequacy(r=-0.335,P<0.01).Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that factors of the feeling of inadequacy and self consistency and congruence accounted for 35.6% of anxiety variance.The feeling of inadequacy played a mediating role in self consistency and congruence and anxiety.The mediating rate was 60.06%.ConclusionThe anxiety issue of medical students should be paid more attention.It is possible for the high level of feeling of inadequacy and low level of self consistency and congruence to increase the occurrence rate of anxiety.The feeling of inadequacy can strongly predict medical students'anxiety.

Objective To find out the clinical effect of integrative therapy for pregnant women with viral myocarditis(VMC).Methods The experimental group 60 VMC maternal cases were treated by integrative therapy,while the control group 43 patients were treated by simple western medicine,the efficacy of two treatments were compared,and left ventricular function,myocardial enzymes and other indicators were compared.Results Markedly effective rate of control group was 48.84％,and total effcctive rate was 72.09％ ; markedly effective rate of experimental group was 65.00％,and total effective rate was 91.67％.Markedly effective rate and total effective rate of experimental group were significantly higher(P ＜0.05).After treatment,stroke volume,ejection fraction and cardiac output index of experimental group were significantly higher than before treatment (P ＜ 0.05 ); After treatment,the indexes of experimental group and control group were significantly different ( P ＜ 0.05 ).After treatment,creatine kinase,creatine kinase myocardial isoenzyme,aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase index of experimental group were significantly lower than before treatment ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ; After treatment,the indicators of experirnental group were lower than control group( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion This prescription is used to treat pregnant women with valid prescriptions of VMC,the clinical efficacy of integrative medicine is significant,the cardiac contractile function can he improved,and a strong application advantages is shown compared to conventional therapy with simple western medicine.

[Objective]To investigate etiopathogenisis,modus operandi and rehabilitation in treatment of bone nonunion and residual deformity (cubitus valgus) after humeral lateral condyle fractures in children. [Method]The author retrospective summarized a total of 27 patients diagnosed with humeral lateral condyle fracture follow with bone nonunion and/or cubitus valgus consecutive enrolled in Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 2001 to 2006,including 19 cases of male,8 cases of female,16 cases of right humeral lateral condyle fracture and 11 cases of left. The mean age at injured for all the patients (n =27) was 5.6 yr (range 3-10 yr).The mean age at suigical operation for all the patients (n =27) was 9 yr (range 5-14 yr).The average time from injury to operation was 2.8 yr (range 8mon-10 yr).There were three modus operations including direct normal position internal fixation of 7 cases,open reduction following os illium bone graft internal fixation of 11 cases,distant humerus varus wedge shape cut orthopaedic for 9 cases.[Result]Thirteen patients were followed up ranging from 6 month to 2 years,and 14 patients over 2 years. All the patients were achieved union for 8 to 16 weeks after surgery. Elbow deformity had been corrected and function of elbow joint had been recoverd satisfactorily. All of them,excellent rerult were found in 13 cases,good in 11 cases,and poor in 3 cases,the excellent and good rates was 88.9%. None of the cases happened with osteonecrosis,traumatic arthritis and myositis ossificans.[Conclusion]It is common that delay treatment of humeral lateral condyle fractures in children can result in bone nonunion and residual deformity (cubitus valgus) and it is difficult for treatment. Corresponding surgical treatment with different condition and early exercise can improve the appearance and function of elbow joint.

Objective To study the relationship among resilience,self feeling of inadequacy and alexithymia in depressive undergraduates,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and intervention of depression among undergraduates.Methods 500 undergraduates of two universities in Hebei Province were collected by cluster sampling method.Beck depression scale,adolescent resilience scale,Toronto alexithymia scale and self feeling of inadequacy scale were applied to undergraduates.The survey results were analyzed statistically.Results The detection rate of depression was 28％(119/426) in undergraduates.Total score of Alexithymia Scale(69.99±9.43) was higher than the norm(65.70±7.98),and the difference was statistical significant (P＜0.05).The score of self feeling of inadequacy had a significant difference between male (149.88±28.00) and female(138.58±28.79) (P＜0.01).Neither gender nor grade had significant difference in depression,alexithymia and resilience(P＞0.05).Self feeling of inadequacy was positively correlated with alexithymia (P＜0.05).Resilience was negatively correlated with self feeling of inadequacy and alexithymia(P＜0.05).For the depressive undergraduates,self feeling of inadequacy served as a full mediator between the resilience and alexithymia,whereas for the non depression undergraduates it was a partial mediator.Conclusion Depression undergraduates have serious alexithymia,serious self feeling of inadequacy and poor resilience.Self feeling of inadequacy serves as a mediator between the resilience and alexithymia in depressive and non-depressive undergraduates.

AIM:To perform a new method for orbital implant and contracted socket through one time and its results. ·METHODS:Totally 114 patients 114 eyes, from January 2008 to June 2014, with contracted socket participated in this study. We incised the bulbar conjunctiva horizontally and excised scar tissue, then implanted the hydroxyapatite in the four extraocular muscles and tightly sutured the Tenon ' capsule. After that, we put the superior and inferior conjunctival petals backwards and sutured them to the Tenon ' s capsule. All the patients were divided into four groups according to the vertical diameter length of the conjunctival defect area:GroupⅠ:≤5mm; Group Ⅱ: 6-10mm; Group Ⅲ: 11-15mm; and Group Ⅳ: ≥16mm. These patients were followed up for 6mo to 3y to observe the conjunctival sac shaping and growth of conjunctiva. ·RESULTS:There were 64 cases in GroupⅠ, 31 cases in Group Ⅱ, 16 cases in Group Ⅲ and 3 cases in Group Ⅳ. All patients ' conjunctival defect was covered by new conjunctiva and scar tissue 4 to 6wk after surgeries. Ten cases had contracted socket; 2 cases had orbital implant exposure, requiring reoperation. Of the 114 cases, 8 had contracted socket and could use a smaller conformer, 106 could use a normal size conformer. ·CONCLUSION: When the conjunctival defect was ≤15mm, this new method can address the orbital implant and contracted socket at the same time. While it was ≥16mm, flap transplantation is necessary.
