Objective To investigate the relationship between carotid arteries atherosclersis and subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods From January to December 2010,408 patients with T2DM were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into euthyroidism group (376 patients) and subclinical hypothyroidism group (32 patients).The incidence of carotid arteries atherosclerosis in two groups was compared and the risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis in patients with T2DM.Results There was no significant difference in age,course of disease,body mass index,fasting plasma glucose,total cholesterol,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol,triacylglycerol and glycosylated hemoglobin between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of carotid arteries atherosclerosis in subclinical hypothyroidism group was higher than that in euthyroidism group [81.2％ (26/32) vs.61.4％ (231/376)],and the difference was significant (P =0.026).Logistic regression analysis showed that age and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)were risk factors (OR =1.178 and 1.227,P =0.000 and 0.019) and HDL-C was protective factor (OR =0.284,P =0.003) in T2DM with carotid arteries atherosclerosis.Conclusion Higher incidence of carotid arteries atherosclerosis is found in T2DM patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and increased TSH are independent risk factors that has not previously been described.

Objective To investigate whether tolterodine combined with pelvic floor electrical stimulation is more effective than tolterodine alone in the treatment of wonen with overactive bladder(OAB) and the underlying mechanism.Methods Seventy-three female patients with OAB were recruited from our hospital during Oct.2009 to Dec.2010 and prospectively studied,of whom 39 cases were given tolterodine(2 mg each time,twice daily for4 weeks)alone while the other 34 cases were given tolterodine combined with pelvic floor electrical stimulation for the treatment of OAB.Data on urgency,incontinence,micturition frequency,nocturia episodes and voided volume were collected before and after 4 weeks' treatment using a week micturition diary.Results The differences of changes of OAB symptoms between the 2 groups had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Patients in the tolterodine combined with pelvic floor electrical stimulation group reported treatment benefit than the tolterodine group in the micturitions and the volume voided per micturition(P ＜ 0.05).There were no difference in the number of urgency episodes per 24 hours,incontinence episodes and nocturnal episodes (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion A combination of toterodine with pelvic floor electrical stimulation could significantly improve the OAB symptoms,and is a potential therapy for female patients with OAB.

Objective To evaluate the endoscopic managements of acute cholangitis of severe type (ACST) accompanied with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods A total of 122 ACST patients accompanied with MODS from January 2000 to October 2008 underwent endoscopic treatment in two time periods. In critical phase, emergent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plus en-doscopic naso-biliary drainage (ENBD) were performed to correct critical situation of the patients. After sta-bilization, endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus stone removal, EST plus stent placement, or laparoscopy was performed according to the causes of ACST. Results Emergent endoscopic managements succeeded in all patients of critical phase. At third day post-operation, a reduction in white blood cell count, serum total bilirubin, body temperature, and rate of patients with shock, mental symptoms and purulent bile juice was a-chieved. Recovery rate of dysfunction organs was 60.2% at one week after emergent procedure, and 82. 6% at 2 weeks post-operation. Selective EST plus stone removal was performed in 36 patients with a success rate n one session at 91.7%. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 85 patients with a success rate of 95.3%. Stent was placed in 16 patients with an effective rate of 81.3% at 3 months post the procedure. No severe complication or death occurred during the whole therapeutic course. The 6-month survival rate of 10 cancer cases was 70%. Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP plus ENBD is the first choice for acute severe cholangitis accompanied with MODS, while EST plus biliary lithotomy, or EST plus stent placement, or com-bined laparoscopy are ideal methods for subsequent treatment.

Objective To analyze the CTA features of asymptomatic myocardial bridge.Methods The CTA images of 69 cases with asymptomatic solitary myocardial bridge were studied retrospectively, and CTA images of 60 cases with symptoms as the contrast group.The type, age, thickness of myocardial bridge, mural coronary artery length and diameter changes of each cases of two groups were analyzed.Results In the study group, 51 cases of 69 (74%) were superficial style, while 18 cases were deep type (26%).In the contrast group, the superficial and deep style were 13 (22%) and 47 (78%) respectively.The mean age,thickness of myocardial bridge,mural coronary artery length and the diameter of mural coronary artery were (53.01±11.17) years old,(1.25±1.16) mm,(21.33±7.32) mm,(2.86±0.45) mm and (51.36±9.31) years old,(1.45±1.87) mm,(20.07±6.60) mm and (1.37±0.41) mm.The rate of type and diameter of mural coronary artery had significant differences between two groups (P<0.05), while other data had no significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusion The CTA features of asymptomatic myocardial bridge are mostly superficial type.The diameter of mural coronary artery on the end systolic is a factor to judge the rate on the occurrence of clinical symptom.

Objective To study the characteristics of CT images of myocardial bridge(MB)in patients with atherosclerosis.Methods CTA images of MB in 129 patients with atherosclerosis were studied.Another 109 patients without atherosclerosis,in the diagnosis of MB were used as control.The type,age,thickness of MB,length of mural coronary artery and end systolic diameter of mural coronary artery were compared between the two groups.Results In the study group,78 cases (60.5%)were superficial type,51(39.5%) were deep type.While in the control group,70(64%)cases were superficial type and 39(36%)were deep type.There was no significant difference between the two groups.The age,thickness of MB,length of mural coronary artery and end systolic diameter of mural coronary artery in each group were 57.01±10.17 years old,(3.15±1.66)mm,(20.43±7.38)mm,(1.16±0.25)mm and 48.36±9.11 years old,(1.95±1.77)mm,(21.07±6.69)mm,(2.07±0.81)mm.These parameters had significant differences between the two groups except the length of mural coronary artery (P>0.05).Conclusion The MB of the study group is thicker than the control group,and the mural coronary artery diameter of the former is narrower than that of the latter.

Objective To analyze the working stress related factors of nurses in intensive care unit (ICU), and put forward the corresponding counter measures.Methods During January to March 2016, a questionnaire survey was conducted with a commonly used nurses working pressure source scale on 110 ICU nurses in three People's Liberation Army (PLA) 3A grade hospitals in Beijing. The questionnaire survey involved 35 items within 5 main categories, including nursing professional issues, nursing workload and time allocation, working environment and resources, special care for critical patients and inter-personnel relationships between the head of nurses and other nurses. The correlations between the ICU nursing working stress and alternative factors were analyzed.Results Ninety-six nurses said the job was stressful, and 88.5% of them expressed that the degree of pressure was more than medium. The correlation analysis showed that ICU nurse working stress was correlated with 29 items in the survey scale (allP < 0.05), of which the top 6 items the mostly closely related were the frequent working shift (r = 0.58,P = 0.000), low nursing social status (r = 0.54,P = 0.000), less promotion opportunities (r = 0.54,P = 0.000), less opportunities to pursue further study (r = 0.53, P = 0.000), nurse low salary (r = 0.52,P = 0.000) and excessive workload (r= 0.50,P = 0.000).Conclusions ICU nurses face a lot of pressure in their work, the management departments should pay more attention to them, and actively energetically improve the nurse system construction, raise ICU nurses' pride, enhance the quality of nurse care and promote the healthy development of nursing profession.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) isolated from clinical specimen and provide the guidance for the clinical treatment. METHODS The P. aeruginosas infection status from Jun 2005 to Dec 2007 was reviewed retrospectively,and the results of susceptibility test in 286 strains of PAE were analyzed. RESULTS The drug-resistance rates to gentamicin,cefotaxime,and ceftriaxone in PAE were all above 60.0%,and that to cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam sodium,amikacin and levofloxacin showing all higher sensitivity. The resistance rates to meropenem and imipenem were 17.1% and 18.5%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS P. aeruginosa is one of the main pathogenic bacteria in nosocomial infection. It's very important to strengthen the monitoring of drug-resistance of PAE and rationally antibiotics usage.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and the occurrence of gene erm.METHODS ATB Staph and microdilute tests were performed to detect the susceptibility to 15 kinds of antibiotics in 50 strains of the S.aureus(SAU).Gene erm of these strains was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).RESULTS There were no strains resistant to vancomycin,teicoplanin,fusidic acid and quinupristin-dalfopristin in 42 strains of MRSA detected.There were no strains sensitive to penicillin,oxacillin,gentamicin,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.Thirty-five strains habored gene erm in 42 strains of MRSA.The positive rate of gene erm was 83.3%.CONCLUSIONS The multiple-resistance of the MRSA is a serious issue.The resistance to erythromycin in MRSA is mediated by gene erm which encodes the methylase and changes the target site of drug action.
