Objective To investigate the application opportunity and effect of B-Lynch suture in severe postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section. Methods One hundred patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was given with preventive treatment by B-Lynch suture after the placenta was born. Group B was given with traditional treatment, such as kneading the uterus, pressing, "8" suture, stuffing with gauze first. B-Lynch suture was used after the failure of traditional treatment or the amount of bleeding was over 400 ml.At the same time, another 50 patients without severe postpartum hemorrhage were selected as control (group C). Observed the difference of the amount of bleeding during different time, the operation time and comphcations among the three groups. Results The amount of bleeding during operation and 2 h after childbirth in group A [(266.00±29.90),(301.33±40.30) ml] were obviously less than those in group B[(512.67±202.12), (554.17±201.78)ml](P<0.01). The operation time in group A [(33.73±2.28)min] was shorter than that in group B [(49.33±10.40) min] (P<0.01). The incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage in group A (6%, 3/50) was lower than that in group B (64%, 32/50) (P<0.01). Every parameter in group A was similar with group C. There were no serious complications during and after operation. Conclusions The preventive use of B-Lynch suture in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage attains much better effects, and depresses the incidence rate of severe postpartum hemorrhage, and also improves the living quality. B-Lynch suture should be. used widely in patients with high risk to postpartum hemorrhage preventively.

Objective To observe the sleeping time and analyze its impact on the psychological state and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes .Methods Convenience sampling was used to recruit 365 patients with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu Province Hospital on Integration of Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine between April 2014 and April 2015 .All the patients were divided into two groups according to the six-hour cut-off point of sleeping time .They were investigated by means of World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF ( WHOQOL-BREF), Diabetes Distress Scale ( DDS) and General Self-Efficacy Scale ( GSES).Data were analyzed by t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test and multivariate regression analysis .Results The average sleeping time was 7.03 h, and the sleeping time of 109 patients was less than 6 h.Patients with less sleeping time had lower quality of life and self-efficacy scores as well as higher diabetes distress scores than those with sleeping time more than 6 h.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Regression analysis showed that sleeping time was the factor of quality of life (β=0.117, P=0.047), self-efficacy (β=0.136, P=0.024) and diabetes distress(β=-0.118, P=0.046).Conclusion Sleeping time affects the psychological state and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes.The medical should pay more attention to the quality of sleep of such patients .

Objective To analyze the glucose and metabolism and perinatal outcome in pregnant women with different extent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of IADPSG diagnostic criteria,and to investigate the necessity to manage mild GDM.Methods Total 368 pregnant women at 24-28 gestational weeks were given 75 g glucose oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).They were divided into three groups according OGTI result,single abnormal group (GDM1 group,148 cases),combination abnormal group (GDM2 group,120 cases) and normal group (100 cases).The three groups were given determinations of glycosylated hemoglobin,fasting C peptide (FCP),fasting insulin (FINS),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and ApoB,calculated homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and homeostasis beta cell index (HBCI).Results From normal group,GDM1 group to GDM2 group,the fasting plasma glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,FCP,HOMA-IR,TG were gradually increased [(4.39 ± 0.38),(4.98 ± 0.49),(5.25 ± 0.59) mmol/L; (5.10 ± 0.29)％,(5.27 ± 0.36)％,(5.46 ± 0.46)％ ;(1.37 ±0.67),(1.73 ±0.73),(1.99 ±0.96) μ g/L;1.07 ±0.42,1.26 ±0.54,1.37 ±0.43; (2.77 ±0.67),(3.05 ± 0.78),(3.34 ± 0.92) mmol/L,P ＜ 0.01],while HBCI was gradually decreased (5.93 ± 0.48,5.42 ±0.45,5.29 ± 0.44,P ＜ 0.01).ApoA1 in GDM1 group and GDM2 group were significantly lower than that in normal group [(2.21 ±0.39),(2.15 ±0.35) g/L vs.(2.42 ±0.37) g/L,P ＜0.01],but there was no significant difference between GDM1 group and GDM2 group (P＞ 0.05).ApoB/ApoA1 in GDM2 group was significantly higher than that in normal group and GDM1 group (0.49 ±0.14 vs.0.42 ±0.14 and 0.45 ±0.12,P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference between normal group and GDM 1 group (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in FINS,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoB,neonatal weight and the incidence rate of premature delivery among the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rates of eclampsism,large for date infant and cesarean section in GDM1 group and GDM2 group were significantly higher than those in normal group [8.1％(12/148) and 14.2％(17/120) vs.2.0％(2/100),14.9％(22/148) and 16.7％(20/120)vs.6.0％(6/100),52.0％(77/148) and 54.2％(65/120) vs.30.0％(30/100),P＜ 0.01].Conclusions Different extent GDM of IADPSG diagnostic criteria has different extent abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism and abnormal perinatal outcome,so it is necessary to diagnose and manage GDM pregnant women even mild GDM.

Objective To evaluate the value of automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) and conventional ultrasound in differentiation of benign and malignant breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) 4 breast lesions. Methods Totally 239 breast lesions from 217 patients, with diagnosing of BI-RADS 4 by conventional ultrasound and automatically breast volume imaging, were analyzed retrospectively, using postoperative pathology as golden standard. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the curve of ABVS and conventional ultrasound were calculated separately. Results There were 154 benign breast lesions, 83 malignant lesions and 2 borderline lesions. The statistical analysis results of ABVS and conventional ultrasound were 96.10% and 91.80% in sensitivity, 84.30% and 80.20% in specificity,89.30% and 84.10% in accuracy, and 0.952 and 0.833 in area under the curve. Therefore, ABVS was superior to the conventional ultrasound. Conclusion Compared with conventional ultrasound, ABVS could improve the diagnostic efficacy for BI-RADS 4 breast lesions in the aspects of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, which was useful in detection of small and atypical breast cancer and could be used as a noninvasive and reliable complement for conventional ultrasound.

Objective:To explore the correlation among serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI),N terminal pro brain natri-uretic peptide (NT-proBNP)and main endpoint events of heart in patients with chronic stable heart failure.Meth-ods:The present study enrolled 95 patients with NYHA cardiac function class III~IV from Feb 2010 to Feb 2011.According to levels of cTnI and NT-proBNP,the patients were divided into cTnI negative group (n=60)and cTnI positive group (n=35);NT-proBNP negative group (n=40)and NT-proBNP positive group (n=55),all patients were followed up for two years,and the main endpoint events were cardiogenic sudden death and rehospitalization caused by acute aggravation of heart failure.Results:Compared with negative group,the hazard ratio (HR)of end-point events was 2.69 and confidence interval (CI)was 1.54~ 4.72,P = 0.002 in cTnI positive group;HR was 2.54 and CI was 1.35~4.78,P =0.003 in NT-proBNP positive group;further interclass crossover analysis found that,when patients'cTnI and NT-proBNP were both positive,the hazard ratio of cardiac endpoint events was the highest (HR=6.34,CI 2.26~17.9,P <0.001).Conclusion:In patients with chronic stable heart failure,serum elevated levels of cardiac troponin I and N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide are important predictors reflecting prognosis of patients with heart failure.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of total saponins of Man medicine Thladiantha dubia root(TSTR)on the ex-pressions of CD3+,CD4+and CD8+ in spleen tissue of rats with type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis (CIA),and explore its mecha-nism in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA). METHODS:8 rats were taken as normal control group(NC group),the others 72 rats were injected mixture of bovine type Ⅱ collagen and Freund's complete adjuvant in tail and back to induce CIA model. The 50 modeled rats were randomly divided into model group(MC group),tripterygium polyglycoside(TG)group(12 mg/kg,posi-tive control),TSTR low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups (20,40,80 mg/kg),10 in each group. Rats in medicine groups were intragastrically administrated for 35 d,once a day;rats in NC group and MC group were intragastrically administrated equal volume of distilled water. Ankle swelling degree of rats was determined,arthritis indexes were calculated,HE staining was used to observe the lesions in synovial tissue,and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ in spleen tissue of rats. RESULTS:After 35 d of administration,ankle swelling degree,arthritis indexes,CD4+ expression in spleen tissue,and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in MC group were significantly higher than NC group (P<0.05 or P<0.01),expressions of CD3+, CD8+were significantly lower than NC group(P<0.05);and there was congestion and massive inflammatory cell infiltration in sy-novial tissue. The ankle swelling degree,arthritis indexes,expression of CD4+ in spleen tissue,and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in administra-tion groups were significantly lower than MC group(P<0.05);the expressions of CD3+,CD8+ in spleen tissue in administration groups were significantly higher than MC group (P<0.05);TG group,TSTR medium-dose and high-dose groups showed mild congestion and a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration in synovial tissue of rats,and TSTR low-dose group showed no ob-vious congestion or inflammatory cell infiltration. CONCLUSIONS:Up-regulating the expressions of CD3+,CD8+ and down-regu-lating the expression of CD4+ may be one of the mechanisms of TSTR in the treatment of RA;and with best efficacy when the TSTR dose of 20 mg/kg.

Objective To investigate the effect of different amplification methods and probes with various length on the results of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis of pre-implanted single blastomere and to establish the basis for preimplantation genetic diagnosis.Methods Twenty blastomeres of embryo at 6-8 cells stage were randomly divided into A and B group with 10 in each.Twenty peripheral blood lymphocytes from a healthy man were similarly divided into C and D group with 10 in each.Degenerate oligonucleotide primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) was used to amplify whole genomic DNA in group A and C,and multiple displacement amplification (MDA) was used in group B and D for whole genome amplification (WGA).The specificity of resultant products was confirmed by amplification of TBX1 gene exon 2.CGH was performed respectively with 250-750 bp and 750-2000 bp probes prepared from the amplified whole genomic DNA.The result of CGH was verified by sex-determining region of Y (SRY).Results (1) Nine of the 10 samples in group A and all in group C were amplifiable by DOP-PCR,but there were multiple non-specific bands in the amplification of TBX1 exon 2 when WGA products were used as templates.When 250～750 bp probe was used in CGH,1 of the 5 blastomeres was failed and another one had different karyotype from that analyzed by SRY.(2) All samples in group B and D were successfully amplified by MDA,and the non-specific bands were significantly less in the amplification of TBX1 exon 2.All 5 blastomeres were successful in CGH with the 250～750 bp probe.Moreover,the karyotype was in agreement with that of SRY.(3) When 750 ～ 2000 bp probe was used,the CGH results were suboptimal.Conclusions In WGA of single blastomere,MDA is superior to DOP-PCR in the stability and specificity.The karyotype image detected by CGH with the 250～750 bp probe is clear and homogenous.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of the automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) in the diagnosis of ductal carcinomain situ(DCIS).MethodsSixty-seven patients who were diagnosed as DCIS by histopathology from December, 2010 to December, 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Their image results and detection rates of mammography, conventional ultrasound and ABVS were analyzed and compared by Nonparametric Cochran'sQ test, and the further comparison were performed between groups by McNemar test.ResultsThe cases diagnosed as mass (with or without microcalcifications) by mammography, conventional ultrasound and ABVS were 13 (19%), 22 (33%) and 25 (37%), respectively. The detection rates of conventional ultrasound and ABVS were higher than mammography, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=7.11, 10.08, bothP<0.05). However, the detection rate of mass between conventional ultrasound and ABVS were not statistically different (P>0.05). The cases diagnosed as simple microcalcification or associated with microcalcification by mammography, conventional ultrasound and ABVS were 42 (63%), 30 (45%) and 39 (58%), respectively. The detection rates of simple microcalcification or associated with microcalcifications by mammography and ABVS were higher than conventional ultrasound, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=8.64, 5.82, bothP<0.05). However, the detection rate of simple microcalcification or associated with microcalcifications between conventional ultrasound and ABVS were not statistically different (P>0.05). The detection rates of DCIS by mammography, conventional ultrasound and ABVS were 84%, 70% and 91%. The detection rates of DCIS by mammography and ABVS were higher than conventional ultrasound, and the differences were statistically significant. But the rate between mammography and ABVS showed no statistical significance.ConclusionsABVS can improve the ultronic detection rate of breast DCIS. Its detection rate is similar with mammography performance.

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.
