Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of reteplase(r-PA) and alteplase(t-PA) in the high risk patients with pulmonary embolism during a pulmonary artery catheter broken bolt in the interventional treatment,and to evaluate the clinical safety.Methods 54 high risk patients were selected as the research subjects,and they were randomly divided into treatment group(24 patients) and control group(30 patients).Patients in both two groups were given general treatment,low molecular heparin sodium anticoagulation therapy.Besides,the control group was given local perfusion thrombolysis enzyme treatment.While the treatment group was given local perfusion at enzyme thrombolysis treatment.Results Two-way Chi-square test results showed that before treatment,there were no significant differences in HR,RF,PaO2,PaCO2 and SaO2 between the two groups(all P>0.05).After 3-day treatment,in the treatment group,HR[(83.39±14.25)times/min],RF[(17.80±1.65)times/min],PaO2[(87.59±7.34)mmHg],PaCO2[(37.60±7.62)mmHg],SaO2[(97.29±6.72)%] in the treatment group group,which in the control group were (97.7±15.51)times/min,(20.49±1.68)times/min,(81.53±6.42)mmHg,(35.69±4.57)mmHg,(93.91±3.27)%,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=8.01,7.33,6.32,all P<0.05).After three days therapy,the total effective rate was 86.67% in the treatment group,which was significantly higher than 75.00% in the control group (x2=1.21,P=0.55).After thrombolysis treatment,there was no significant difference between the treatment group and control group in hemorrhage rate(x2=2.24,P=0.53),which were 13.33% and 12.50%,respectively.Besides,the hemorrhage patients were all got effectively treated and their condition was significantly improved,and none of them occurred severe bleeding during the observation periods in the two groups.Conclusion Local perfusion reteplase therapy in high-risk patients with PE through the pulmonary artery catheter broken bolt in the interventional treatment is safe and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective In clinical practice,ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-G FNAB) is the gold standard in diagnosing the pathological nature of undetermined thyroid nodules before operation.Re---sults of FNAB may vary substantially among operators with different skills.The aim of this study is to evaluate whether operator experience in US-G FNAB influences the rate of diagnostic procedures.Methods A total of 600 consecutive US-guided FNAB done by a single radiologist with 22-or 27-gauge needles from Feb.2008 to Apr.2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All specimens were prepared and fixed without the cytologist on site and were subsequently analyzed by 2 expert cytologists.The procedures were chronologically divided into 6 groups and further stratified according to the overall (A),solid nodules (B),mixed nodules (C),pure cystic nodules (D),acellular sample(E),heavily blood-stained sample(F),exclusively colloid material(G),incorrect slide fixation(H) and they were classified as diagnostic or no-diagnostic.Results The rate of no-diagnostic procedures for each group in learning curves were reported as:① Among A,34％ in group 1,15％ in group 2,18％in group 3,10％ in group 4,7％ in group 5,and 8％ in group 6.② Among B,4％ in group 1,1％ in group 2,0％ in group 3,0％ in group 4,0％ in group 5,and 0％ in group 6.② Among C,10％ in group 1,1％ in group 2,4％ in group 3,0％ in group 4,1％ in group 5,and 0％ in group 6.④ Among D,20％ in group 1,13％ in group 2,14％ in group 3,10％ in group 4,6％ in group 5,and 8％ in group 6.⑤ Among E,25％ in group 1,15％ in group 2,15％ in group 3,10％ in group 4,6％ in group 5,and 8％ in group 6.⑥ Among F,4％ in group 1,0％ in group 2,1％ in group 3,0％ in group 4,0％ in group 5,and 0％ in group 6.⑦ Among G,1％ in group 1,0％ in group 2,1％ in group 3,0％ in group 4,1％ in group 5,and 0％ in group 6.⑧ Among H,4％ in group 1,0％ in group 2,1％ in group 3,0％ in group 4,0％ in group 5,and 0％ in group 6.Among the 600 procedures,there were 2 cases of vertigo and 4 cases of moderate bleeding at the biopsy site,all of which resolved spontaneously.No major complications were recorded.Conclusions The rate of no-diagnostic US-guided FNAB is heavily dependent on the operator's experience.We estimate that at least 200 procedures are needed in order to achieve the levels of diagnostic accuracy reported in the literature.We therefore suggest operators to get specific training before routinely perform this procedure in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effectiveness therapeutic regimens for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) children at an acceptable cost.

METHODThis study was performed at Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from Mar. 2008 to Dec. 2010. Prospective random number table method was used for the analysis; 60 children with mild OSAHS were divided into Mild OSAHS Montelukast Treatment (MM) group and Mild OSAHS Adenotonsillectomy Treatment (MAT) group. 32 children in MM group were treated with leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs), while 28 children in MAT group were treated with adenotonsillectomy. Also, 58 children with moderate and severe OSAHS were divided into severe OSAHS Montelukast Treatment (SM) group and severe OSAHS Adenotonsillectomy Treatmen (SAT) group. Twenty-two children in SM group were treated with LTRAs, while 36 children in SAT group were treated with adenotonsillectomy. All selected children were evaluated by polysomnography (PSG) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18) items before and after a six-month treatment. Both records were taken and analyzed, surgical complications and the reason for non-remission after operation were also analyzed. Two therapies were compared based on economic consideration and therapeutic effect. Result (1) PSG: A significant change of a significant change of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) was observed in MM group after the treatment (before receiving the treatment 4.56 ± 1. 26, and after receiving the treatment 3. 48 ± 1. 52, t =3. 50, P <0. 05). But for oxygen desaturation Index (ODI) (MM group 2. 18 ± 2. 19, and MAT group 1. 80 ± 2. 34) and Lowest Oxygen satuation (LSaO2) (MM group 91. 66 ± 2. 34, and MAT group 92. 79 ± 2. 18), there was no significant difference in MM group and MAT group after the treatment (ODI, t =0. 65, and LSaO2 t = - 1. 93, P >0. 05). (2) OSA-18 scores: Significant differences were found in sleeping disorder (before 14. 81 ± 6. 28, and after 10. 56 ± 3. 57), the degree of familial stress (before 13. 56 ± 3. 54, and after 8. 97 ± 2. 96), and OSA-18 total scores (before 52. 66 ± 1. 11, and after 42. 56 6. 48) in MM group after the treatment (sleeping disorder Z - 3. 14, the degree of familial stress Z = -4. 50, and OSA-18 total scores Z= -4. 01, P <0. 05). (3) In addition to the cost of drugs, groups with surgical treatment had a larger economic burden than those with LTRAs treatment. (4) Treatment was totally effective for 28 children (88%) in MM group, and 28 children (100%) in MAT group. Meanwhile, treatment also achieved an obvious effect on 2 children (9%) in SM group, and in 35 children (97%) in SAT group. In MAT group, 3 children improved (11%). And in SAT group, 7 children improved (19%), but treatment was found to be ineffective in 1 case (3%). Among those effective and ineffective cases in groups with surgical treatment, there were 9 children with nasal diseases.

CONCLUSION(1) Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for children with moderate and severe OSAHS. And for those who also suffer from nasal diseases, treatment combining drugs with surgery is necessary. (2) LTRAs therapy has a good effect for mild OSAHS. Surgery is also recommended when drugs could not achieve any obvious improvement in clinical symptoms of children with mild OSAHS.

Objective To compare the values of automated breast volume scanner(ABVS) and conventional ultrasound(US) in the diagnosis of breast microcalcifications.Methods Sixty-eight cases of patients with breast microcalcifications 71 lesions were found by mammography,which were also examined by ABVS and US.The detection rate of microcalcifications under different background which have masses or not by the two methods were compared respectively,and the detection rate in the different pathological types of breast were also compared.All the cases were confirmed with histopathology.Results Sixty-five cases with breast microcalcifications were detected by ABVS and 55 cases detected by US,respectively.The detection rate of ABVS was significantly higher than that of US (91.5％ vs 77.5％,x2 =5.379,P =0.020).Forty-four cases of microcalcifications were found within the masses,but the other 27 cases without mass.The detection rate of microcalcifications within the masses had no siginificant difference between ABVS and US (97.7％ vs 93.2％,x2 =0.262,P =0.609),but ABVS was significantly higher than US (81.5％ vs 51.9％,x2 =5.333,P =0.021) in the detection rate of microcalcifications without the masses.The detection rate of ABVS in microcalcifications for those patients with invasive ductal carcinoma,were found the same as US (both 100％).However,the detection rate of microcalcifications by ABVS was much higher than US (94.1 ％ vs 58.8％,P =0.039) in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ.Conclusions ABVS can improve the detection rate of microcalcifications,especially without mass.The microcalcifications distribution can be observed in the coronal plane of ABVS,which increases the detection rate of ultrasound in the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ.

Objective To investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) inhibitors and L-arginine(L-Arg) on the prognosis of traumatic shock in rats. Methods Traumatic shock models of Sprague-Daulay rats were made and randomly devided into control group (n=24),L-NAME treatment group (n=24),AG treatment group (n=24) and L-Arg treatment group (n=24). Serum nitric oxide(NO) levels and oxygen partial pressure in tissues include skeletal muscles,liver and small intestine were detected at 1h,3h,5h after resuscitation. Meanwhile, hemodynamic data of the rats and their survival rates of 12h and 24h were monitored and recorded. Results Serum NO concentration was statistically lower after resuscitation in L-NAME group than that in control group, while there were no statistical significance of tissues oxygen partial pressure and survival rate in 12、24h between the two groups. AG could decrease serum NO levels only at late stage of traumatic shock,but no effect on the synthesis and relase of NO at early stage of traumati shock.AG could improve tissues oxygen partial pressure of the liver and small intestine, and prolonged the mean survival time. L-Arg could increase serum NO levels, and improve oxygen partial pressure of intestine and significantly increase the survival rate at 12h and 24h in rats with traumatic shock. Conclusions Treatment with AG and L-Arg can improve the prognosis of traumatic shock rats much better than that with L-NAME.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of oxycodone for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after hip arthroplasty in elderly patients.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 65-85yr,weighing 42-89 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or]Ⅱ,scheduled for elective unilateral hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:morphine group (group M) and oxycodone group (group O).Parecoxib sodium 40 mg was injected intravenously at 30 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by induction and maintenance of anesthesia.PCIA pump was connected at the beginning of skin closure.PCIA solution contained morphine 0.6 mg/kg and tropisetron 10 mg diluted to 100 ml in normal saline in group M and oxycodone 0.6 mg/kg and tropisetron 10 mg diluted to 100 ml in normal saline in group O.The PCA pump was set up with a background infusion at 2 ml/h,a 0.5 ml bolus dose and a 15 min lockout interval in both groups.Visual analogue scale score was maintained ≤ 3,and postoperative analgesia lasted until 48 h after operation.When analogue scale score ≥ 4,pethidine 50 mg/kg was injected muscularly as rescue analgesic.The requirement for rescue analgesic and occurrence of adverse effects were recorded.Results Ten percent patients required rescue analgesics in group M,and no patients required rescue analgesics in group O.Compared with group M,the requirement for rescue analgesics and incidence of nausea,vomiting and pruritus were significantly decreased in group O (P＜0.05).Conclusion Oxycodone provides reliable efficacy for PCIA after hip arthroplasty in elderly patients with fewer adverse effects,indicating that oxycodone produces good analgesic efficacy for severe somatalgia.

Objective To discuss the possible reasons of contrast agent reflux during transvaginal real-time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy),and in order to provide scientific evidences for reducing the contrast agent reflux.Methods The sonographic features of contrast reflux were observed in the images of 167 infertile patients who underwent TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy, and the association of the incidence rate of the reflux with tubal patency,the types of infertility,endometrial thickness,menstrual clean days,abnormal uterine cavity,the history of intrauterine operations,pelvic operations and ectopic pregnancies were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of the reflux during TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy was 41 .3%.The incidence rates of reflux in unilateral patency and bilateral obstruction were 4.929 and 9.21 5 times of that of bilateral patency respectively.The incidence rate of reflux in the secondary infertility cases was significantly higher than that of primary ones(P <0.05).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the reflux is associated with the tubal patency,the endometrial thickness and the history of intrauterine operations,and none of the other factors.Conclusions TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy could differentiate the images of reflux better;the proper timing of the contrast examination and avoiding the damage of endometrium would reduce the incidence of the reflux.

This study was aimed to observe the effects ofTian-ShuDripping Pills (TSDP) on cerebral hemodynamics among anesthetized dogs, in order to demonstrate its clinical treatment functional correlation on angioneurotic headache. A total of 25 hybrid dogs were randomly divided into the normal saline (NS) group, TS capsule (positive control: 0.4 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, low-dose TSDP (0.2 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, middle-dose TSDP (0.4 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, and high-dose TSDP (0.8 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group.Intraduodenal administration was given once under anesthesia. Changes of mean arterial blood pressure, blood flow of vertebral artery and internal carotid artery blood flow were detected and the cerebral blood flow and cerebral vascular resistance were calculated. The results showed that TSDP of low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose group can significantly reduce the cerebral vascular resistance and increase the cerebral blood flow within 180 min after medication. It was concluded that TSDP can improve the cerebral blood circulation of anesthetized dogs. Its mechanism may be through the reduction on cerebral vascular resistance and increasing of cerebral blood flow.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of psychological health intervention in the elderly urban residents living on minimum subsistence allowances, and to search for a suitable psychological health intervention strategy. Methods The 112 elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances in Xuzhou were selected by stratified cluster sampling, and they were matched with 112 controls. The elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances were divided into intervention group and control group. A general intervention based on community involved psychological health and care lecture, psychodrama treatment and psychological consultancy was made on the intervention. The SCL-90 was used to evaluate the psychological health status and effectiveness of psychological health intervention. Results The elderly persons living on minimum subsistence allowances had higher SCL-90 scores compared with other residents, and their psychological health status was serious. After the psychological health intervention, the SCL-90 scores were all lower in intervention group than in control group [ interpersonal relationship sensitiveness: (1.13 ± 0. 39) vs.(1.26±0.26), t=2.12, P=0.04; gloom: (1.23±0.66) vs. (1.43±0.24), t=2.08, P=0.04;anxiety: (1. 18±0.50) vs. (1.38±0.34), t=2.17, P=0.03; hostility: (1.24±0.49) vs. (1.40±0.28), t=2.03, P=0.04; other factor: (1. 31±0.56) vs. (1.49±0.31), t=2.04, P=0.04; total score: (115.89± 17.21) vs. (122.64± 10.41), t=2.42, P=0.02]. Conclusions The psychological health parameters are improved by psychological health intervention.
