Objective To study the relationship between CHA2DS2-VASc score and intracranial atherosclerosis, Chinese ischemic stroke subclassification (CISS) classification and the early neurological outcomes in ischemic stroke pa-tients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), and to evaluate the clinical value of CHA2DS2-VASc score. Methods The retrospective analysis method was used. The data from 149 cases of ischemic stroke patients with NVAF was retro-spectively analyzed. The clinical data mainly included clinical manifestations, routine lab tests, imaging examinations such as the color-echo doppler, brain CT and/or MRI and angiographic studies of CTA and/or MRA of brain, CHA2DS2-VASc score, the CISS and the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS). Results The CHA2DS2-VASc score was significantly higher in patients with intracranial atherosclerosis than those without [(5.13±1.39) vs. (4.14±1.67)] (P<0.05). The occurrence rates of intracranial atherosclerosis were significantly different among different CHA 2DS2-VASc score subgroups (0~1, 2~3, 4~5 and≥6 subgroups) (P<0.05). There were significant differences in CHA2DS2-VASc score among CS+LAA group, CS+LAA+PAD,group CS, group and CS+PAD group (all P<0.05). There was statistical difference in CHA2DS2-VASc score between patients with and without improvements (P<0.05). Conclusion The CHA2DS2-VASc score may be associated with concomitant intracranial atherosclerosis of ischemic stroke patients with NVAF which can be used to predict the condition of intracranial atherosclerosis. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is positively correlated with se-verity of ischemic stroke with NVAF which can be used to predict the disease improvements in patient with NVAF.

Objective To summarize the experience in pediatric nursing of children with congenital insensitivity to pain and anhidrosis (CIPA) combined with proximal femoral fracture.Methods Two CIPA children with proximal femoral fracture received good treatment of security,plaster casts/braces,body temperature and skin as well as guidance of function exercise and health care education.The nursing experience was summarized.Result After intensive nursing,all patients successfully tided over their perioperative period and discharged.Conclusions The security management,careful observation of skin and body temperature after plaster casts/braces fixation,are of great significance for the decreased complication.Function exercises are equally effective in CIPA children with proximal femoral fracture.

Objective To investigate the relationship among CEA, CA199, clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis in patients with rectal cancer. Methods A total of 142 patients diagnosed rectal cancer were collected for the study between January 2006 and December 2010. The clinical data including age, sex, size of tumor, differentiation, depth of tumor (T), lymph node metastasis (N), distant metastasis (M), lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, stage, and preoperative serum levels of CEA and CA199 were obtained. Patients′ follow-up ranged from 42 months to 90 months. Results Preoperative elevated CEA levels were significantly associated with distant metastasis (P < 0.05). Median overall survival time was 150 weeks in the group with normal preoperative CEA and CA199, and 101 weeks in the group with preoperative abnormal preoperative CEA and/or CA199, and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the difference was significant between two groups (P = 0.031). Conclusion Elevated preoperative CEA level can predict distant metastasis. The patients with abnormal preoperative CEA and/or CA199 have shorter overall survival time.

Objective To explore the value of brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP),visual evoked potential(VEP)and Revised Visual Retention Test(VRT)in detecting impairment of central nervous system in patients with acute leukemia(AL).Methods Neuropack-Ml type evoked potential machine(Japan)was used to check brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP)and visual evoked potential(VEP).BAEP,VEP and VRT were examined in 30 cases with acute leukemia(group AL)and in 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects as a control(groupC).Indexes of BAEP including peak latency(PL)of waves I ,IB ,V and inter-peak latency(IPL)of waves Ⅰ～Ⅲ,Ⅲ ～Ⅴ,Ⅰ～Ⅴand indexes of VEP(P100PL)were determined.VRT was accomplished meanwhile applying B method with C pattern,C method with D pattern,D method with E pattern.The correct scores and error scores were recorded separately.Results BAEP:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 23.3 %.Compared with control group,we found significant longer latency of wave Ⅲ、Ⅴ(P＜0.05)and significant elongation in the mean inter-peak latencies of Ⅰ～Ⅴ(P＜0.05).VEP:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 26.7% ,the P100 PL of the patients was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.05).VRT:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 33.3%.The results of VRT showed that the score in the group AL in D method with E pattern was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion BEAP,VEP and VRT could detect the impairment of central nervous system in patients with acute leukemia sensitively,and give clues to early diagnosis of central nervous system leukemia(CNSL).

Population control acculturation,which transforms population from heteronomy to self-discipline by imposing internal and external influences on humans,is an inevitable choice for current population control in China.To validly implement population control acculturation,various approaches of reproduction control are needed,mainly including contraception,artificial abortion and sterilization.A series of ethical issues are closely related to the above reproduction control approaches.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of six-hole moxibustion box therapy for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD).Methods Sixty patients with thoracic facet joint disorder were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The control group inhaled tiotropium bromide inhalation powder spray and the treatment group received six-hole moxibustion box therapy in addition. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score and the dyspnea score were recorded and peripheral blood oxygen saturation was measured in the two groups before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were monitored in the two groups. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the CAT score and the dyspnea score in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the CAT score and the dyspnea score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in pre-/post- treatment CAT score difference value and dyspnea score difference value between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in peripheral blood oxygen saturation in the treatment group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in peripheral blood oxygen saturation between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Six-hole moxibustion box therapy plus tiotropium bromide inhalation powder spray is safe and effective in treating stable COPD.

Objective To determine the feasibility and the optimal dose reduction of AIDR 3D on piglet chest CT which can provide image quality (IQ) comparable to filtered back projection (FBP).Methods Twenty-nine normal pigs with the weight of 3-12kg underwent 640-slice MDCT chest CT (Aquilion one,Toshiba) for 5 times with 80 kvp and various mAs.SureExposure3D technique were used and the index of noise were set to SD 10.0,12.5,15.0,17.5,20.0(Group A,B,C,D,E) to reduce dose successively.Group A were reconstructed with FBP,Group B,C,D,E were reconstructed using AIDR 3D (strong level).Quantitative image noise and signal to noise ratio(SNR) were measured in each group.Two radiologists graded subject image quality on both lung images (artifacts,central airway,lung tissue) and mediastinal images (mediastinal structure) and overall image quality using a 5-point scale in a blinded manner.Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD test were used for comparisons of objective evaluation indices (CT value,noise,SNR)and radiation dose(CTDIvo1,DLP,ED) among the five groups.The Friedman test and Wilcoxon test were used for comparisons of demographic data and for detection of differences in subjective evaluation of IQ among groups.A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to establish a radiation reduction threshold up to which comparable IQ(score≥4) was maintained.Results Compared with Group A[noise(15.25 ± 3.14)HU,SNR 3.23 ± 1.07],Group B,C had significant lower noise and higher SNR [noise (12.11 ± 2.75),(13.18 ± 3.16)HU; SNR 4.13 ± 1.38,3.80 ± 1.20;F =7.38,3.11,P ＜0.05].Group D,E showed no significantly different noise and SNR with Group A[noise (15.14±4.51),(15.79 ±4.17)HU;SNR 3.40± 1.56,3.45 ± 1.70;P＞0.05].Group B,C had significant better subject image quality compared with Group A (P ＜0.01).Group D had no significantly different subject image quality compared with Group A (P ＞ 0.05).Group E had 5 pigs with overall image scores of ＜ 3.The ROC curve of IQ established SD 17.5 (Group D) as optimal cut-off point (AUC 0.75,95％ CI 0.58-0.92).Group D provided equivalent subjective image score and objective IQ measurements compared with FBP images in Group A.The ED of group D was 59％ lower than that of group A[CTDIvol (1.14±0.27) mGy vs (0.47 ±0.16)mGy,F=183.83,P＜0.01].Conclusion Using AIDR 3D technique,80 kvp with SureExposure3D (SD 17.5) can provide comparable IQ compared with routine dose with FBP reconstruction,and reduce 59％ dose in piglet model.
