Objective To explore the surgical treatment of carotid body tumor(CBT). Methods The clinical data of 78 patients with CBT were retrospectively analysed. Results Seventy eight patients had 88 tumors (10 patients had bilateral CBT),of which 83 were resected. The operations included:CBT enucleation (28 tumors);CBT resection along with the external carotid artery resection(12 tumors); CBT enbloc resection with partial carotid artery(CA) resection and interposition grafting(3 tumors) or end to end anastomosis (1 tumor), and external to internal CA anastomosis (1 tumor); CBT enbloc resection with CA reconstruction(30 tumors), and CBT resection and CA ligation (8 tumors). The operative mortality was 3.8%(3/78). 65 tumors were followed up for 1～21 years,and one patient died of pulmonary metastasis seven years after the surgery. In the follow up period, 1 patient had a local recurrence two years after the surgery,and reoperation was performed,the patient did well 8 years after the reoperation. One patient with family CBT had an opposite lesion 10 years after the first lesion resection. Conclusions CBT may be bilateral,family occurrence,malignant changes and endocrine secretion charateristics. For small CBT, enucleation can be done first.If CA is involved, external CA remove along with CBT and end to end anastomosis may be a better choice . For tumors invading the internal CA, it is better to resect the lesion with reconstruction of the CA with, an autogenous internal jugular vein graft or prosthesis. For large CBT or CBT adhensed to nearby tissues seriously, end to end anastomosis can be carried out to internal CA at a transversely cutting surface of CBT.

Objective To study the effect of nasal decontamination on clinical index of elderly patients with long -term indwelling nasogastric tube.Methods 89 elderly patients with long -term indwelling nasogastric tube were randomly divided into nasal decontamination group and routine treatment group.The sputum culture positive rate of bacterial and the incidence of pulmonary complications,pharyngitis,sinusitis of the two groups were observed. Results Sputum Staphylococcus aureus positive rates in the nasal decontamination group and conventional group were 13.043% (6 cases)and 39.535% (17 cases)respectively,the difference was significant(χ2 =8.139,P =0.004).The incidence rates of pulmonary infection in the nasal decontamination group and conventional group were 4.348% (2 cases)and 18.605% (8 cases)respectively,the difference was significant(χ2 =4.529,P =0.033). The incidence rates of pharyngitis in the nasal decontamination group and conventional group were 10.870%(5 cases)and 37.209% (16 cases) respectively,the difference was significant (χ2 =8.553,P =0.003 ). Conclusion Nasal decontamination can decrease the positive rate of sputum bacterial culture,the incidence of pulmonary infection and pharyngitis in elderly patients with long -term indwelling nasogastric tube.For its efficacy and safety,it deserves clinical application.

Objective To survey the current clinical practice of chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP)management including opioid use in Chinese subgroup report of Current Practices of Cancer and Chronic Non-Cancer Pain Management:A Pan-Asian Study (ACHEON).Methods This questionnaire-based survey included 100 pain physicians and 250 patients experiencing CNCP in the period of September to December in 2013.Results CNCP management training was believed by 40％ of physicians,while 30％ reported adequate pain-relief training on opioid use.Opioids were not considered as the best choice for CNCP management by 65％ of physicians.The majority of location of pain with CNCP was legs/feet (59.2％) and neck (39.2％),arthritis (37.22％),overuse (26.91％),and poor posture (35.56％) were reported as the primary causes of pain.A portion (81.6％) of patients was under treatment,while 66.67％ of patients claimed to be satisfied with their current pain treatment.74.51％ of patients reported that CNCP management was effective pain-relief.Conclusions The Chinese physicians were insufficient cognition of CNCP management on opioid use.The CNCP education and cognition strengthening,CNCP management practice and patient's satisfaction are still necessary for Chinese physicians and patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate pulmonary fungal infection spectrum and its resistance in older COPD patients with mechanical ventilation.METHODS Retrospective study were performed in 67 cases of COPD patients with mechanical ventilation treatment who were admitted to our ICU from Jan 2004 to Doc 2007.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was cultured,differentiation and antifungal susceptilibity testing were taken.RESULTS Seventy-eight fungi strains were cultured in 78 cases,among them,41 strains were Candida albicans(52.56%),14 of C.tropicalis,9 of C.krusei,5 of C.parapsilosis,7 of yeast-like fungi and 2 of Aspergillus.CONCLUSIONS There were increasing fungal infection rate in older COPD patients with mechanical ventilation and C.albicans is still the most frequent type.The resistance to triazole antifungal drug is also increasing.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of escitalopram combined with ozagrel sodium for elderly pa-tients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with anxiety and depression. METHODS:140 elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction complicating with anxiety and depression were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method,with 70 cases in each group. Control group received routine treatment and Sodium ozagrel for injection 40-80 mg added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 500 ml,ivgtt,bid. Observation group was additionally given Escitalopram tablet 10 mg,qd. Both groups received treatment for 8 weeks. HAMA,HAMD,NIHSS and BI were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment,and clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were observed. RESULTS:There was no statistical sig-nificance in HAMA,HAMD,NIHSS,BI before treatment and NIHSS,BI 1 week of after treatment between 2 groups(P>0.05). HAMA and HAMD of observation group 1,4,8 weeks after treatment,and NIHSS and BI of it 4,8 weeks after treatment were improved significantly;above indexes of control group were improved significantly 4,8 weeks after treatment,and the observation group was better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The total effective rate of observation group was 87.14%,which was significantly higher than 74.29% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statis-tical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05).

The sonography findings were compared with the pathology report.Results　Cervical cysts(39 cases) were the most common sonography findings. In 17 cases, endocervical polyps were found sonographically,in 14 cases, myomas were found,and in 27 cases cervicitis were found. The cervix showed no sonographic abnormal in 41. Pathologic results showed 42 cervical cysts, 14 cervical polyps, 16 myomas, 17 cervicitis and 49 normal cervices.Conclusions　The sensitivity and specificity of transviginal sonography are high in diagnosing normal cervices and benign cervical lessions. Transviginal sonography provides reliable diagnosing information about the cervix for clinic.

AIM: To investigate the effect of exercise training(EX) on the arterial baroreflex and possible mechanisms in rats with chronic heart failure(CHF).METHODS: Experiments were carried out in four groups: EX-CHF,CHF,EX-sham,and sham. CHF was induced by left coronary artery ligation,and EX consisted of 4 weeks of treadmill running. Baroreflex function,plasma angiotensin II(Ang II) and central AT1 receptor expression were determined.RESULTS: (1) The average slope and maximal gain of the baroreflex curve in CHF rats were lower than those in sham rats(P<0.01). EX significantly enhanced baroreflex parameters in CHF group but not in sham group.(2) EX decreased plasma Ang II in CHF rats ［(137±27)ng/L vs (263±55)ng/L,P<0.01］,but had no significant effect on plasma Ang II in sham rats ［(75±17)ng/L vs (92±21)ng/L］.(3) Expression of AT1R protein in the PVN of CHF rats was higher than that in sham rats(1.20±0.21 vs 0.70±0.14,P<0.01). EX reduced AT1R protein level in CHF rats(0.90±0.13),but had no impact in sham rats(0.60±0.16).CONCLUSION: EX restores the attenuated arterial baroreflex function in CHF rats,involving in decrease of plasma Ang II and downregulation of AT1R in the PVN.

To evaluate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) in internal medicine teaching for residency training of general medicine.Fifty two residents of general medicine were divided randomly into PBL teaching and traditional teaching groups with 26 in each.The evaluation was conducted in combination of examination scores and questionnaire survey in both groups.In questionnaire survey the residents of PBL group responded positively about the use of PBL in teaching, and rated themselves as having much better competencies in problem solving and self-directed learning.The scores of case analysis examination in PBL group were higher than those in traditional teaching group ( 73.7 ± 4.1 vs.71.1 ± 4.8, P ＜ 0.05 ).The results suggest that the application of PBL has better effect than traditional teaching in residency training of general medicine.
