Objective To investigate the correlation of intima-media thickness (IMT) of the lower peripheral arteries and maximal shear rate (SR) in diabetic (DM) patients and to analyze the related risk factors.Methods A total of 84 diabetic patients and 46 controls were recruited in the study.Color Doppler ultrasonography technique was applied to observe the IMT,diameter(D) and hemodynamics of the lower peripheral arteries and the comparison with biochemical parameters was carried out in order to reveal their correlation to the pathological changes of vascular in DM patients.ResultsIn DM group,the SR was lower than that in control group (P＜0.05).The risk factors related to the lower peripheral arteries of DM patients also were significant difference to that of control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The decrease of SR in diabetes patients can cause the thicker IMT,which is one of the important factors leading to atherosclerosis and is correlated to various risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

Objective To explore the effect of Levetiracetam on Electrocorticogram of epileptic rats induced by lithium-Pilocarpine.Methods Sixteen SD rats were randomly divided into two groups(8 rats in each group),normal saline group and Levetiracetam group.After epileptic model was induced by lithium-Pilocarpine,lateral ventricle was administered with Levetiraeetam and saline by the same volume.The change of frequency of epileptic discharge and different brainwave proportion distribution was observed.Results Compared with normal saline group,the epileptic discharge were significantly decreased(P＜0.01)and the proportion of δ wave was enhanced,meanwhile β wave was decreased in Levetiraeetam group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Levetiracetam has the role of anti-epilepsy in acute model of epileptic rats induced by lithium-Pilocarpine.

Brachytherapy was the earliest technique of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer and still is an important part of modern radiation oncology.It has been widely used as one of the modalities for gynecological cancer as well as head and neck cancer.In recent years,radioactive seed implantation has been proved to be one of the standard treatments for early stage prostate cancer,and brachytherapy alone is emerging as the major treatment for early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy.This article reviewed the current status of brachytherapy in clinical application as reported during the 2005' annual ASTRO meeting and its prospected for future development.

Objective To study the relationship between hepatic resection,hepatic regeneration and hepatic function.Methods Totally 8 cases undergone partial hepatic resection were undergone CT scan pre-and pastoperation.The volumes of the whole liver and the lesions were measured on CT images,and the hepatic resectable rate was calculated before operation.The volume of liver was measured again after operation,and the hepatic regenerative rate at different time was also calculated after operation.The hepatic function was tested before and after operation.Results The negative relation was showed between hepatic resectable rate and hepatic regenerative rate.Conclusion There is postiive relation between hepatic resectable rate and the function of liver.

Taking Guigang People's Hospital of Guangxi Province as an example,the paper introduces the implementation background of cloud computing and the operation status of Hospital Information System (HIS) on the desktop cloud,points out the problems of the application of cloud computing in the hospital environment and provides solution ideas,states the process of virtual environment system management,provides valuable reference for hospitals.

Studies have proved that gastrin plays key roles in the development and progression of gastroenteric tumor. After gastrin combined with the tumor cell surface receptors, some genetic transcription and expression were adjusted through certain signal transduction pathways, resulting in the development and growth of gastrointestinal carcinoma. Effective treatment method would been founded about gastroenteric tumor through the studies of mechanism of action and signal transduction pathways of gastrin in gastroenteric tumor.

ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors and explore the countermeasures of patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods The clinical data of 382 patients with tracheotomy admitted to ICU of Hangzhou Third People's Hospital from March 2015 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 153 patients with complicated lower respiratory tract infection as the infected group, and 229 cases without the infection as the no-infected group. The gender, age, emphysema, respiratory failure, time of admission to ICU, the kinds of antimicrobial agents used, time length of applying antimicrobial agents, aerosol inhalation, airway opening time, invasive operation, surgical opportunity and so on were analyzed in the two groups by univariate analysis. In order to screen out the independent risk factors for patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU, the multiple logistic regression analysis was used on the statistically significant risk factors found by using univariate analysis.Results There were statistically significant differences in age, emphysema, primary disease, respiratory failure, time of admission to ICU, the kinds of antimicrobial agents used,time length of using antimicrobial agents, aerosol inhalation, airway opening time, invasive operation and the time of mechanical ventilation between infected group and non-infected group (allP < 0.05). The single factor analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) = 5.868, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.790-10.342,P = 0.000), cerebral hemorrhage (OR = 3.920, 95%CI = 2.250-6.540,P = 0.034), cerebral infarction (OR = 1.048, 95%CI = 1.005-1.092,P = 0.027), emphysema (OR = 5.995, 95%CI = 2.851-8.374,P = 0.001), respiratory failure (OR = 5.022, 95%CI = 2.107-10.244, P = 0.009), time of admission to ICU (OR = 4.968,95%CI = 2.461-8.236,P = 0.003), airway opening time (OR = 4.149, 95%CI = 1.298-9.027,P = 0.019), the kinds of antimicrobial agents used (OR = 4.364, 95%CI = 1.166-9.339,P =0.029), time length of using antimicrobial agents (OR = 3.944, 95%CI = 1.546-7.622,P = 0.027), aerosol inhalation (OR = 2.052, 95%CI = 1.150-5.042,P = 0.014), invasive operation (OR = 3.467, 95%CI = 2.869-8.956,P = 0.000), surgical opportunity (OR = 0.366, 95%CI = 0.175-0.763,P = 0.037), the time of mechanical ventilation (OR = 0.981, 95%CI = 0.966-0.996,P = 0.041)were risk factors for patients with lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factor sequence of influencing degree from high to low on occurrence of lower respiratory tract infection in patients after tracheotomy in ICU was as follows: time of admission to ICU (OR = 5.697, 95%CI = 2.891-8.739,P = 0.001), respiratory failure (OR = 5.543, 95%CI = 2.347-9.882, P = 0.012), emphysema (OR = 5.388, 95%CI = 2.671-7.963,P = 0.002), invasive operation (OR = 4.987, 95%CI =3.644-9.876,P = 0.014), time of using antimicrobial agents (OR = 4.823, 95%CI = 1.369-8.542,P = 4.823), the kinds of antimicrobial agents used (OR = 4.514, 95%CI = 1.369-8.542,P = 0.022), age (OR = 4.395, 95%CI = 2.194-8.786, P = 0.013), airway opening time (OR = 3.287, 95%CI = 2.542-9.677,P = 0.036) and aerosol inhalation (OR = 2.141, 95%CI = 1.242-5.211,P = 0.045).Conclusions The time of admission to ICU, invasive operation, emphysema and so on are the main risk factors of patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU, thus, corresponding measures should be directed to the risk factors and formulated to strengthen the prevention in order to control the occurrence of lower respiratory tract infections after tracheotomy in ICU.
