Objective To summary the experience of management for orthotopic homologous heart transplantation,heart-lung co-transplantation and to discuss the postoperative treatment of short-term complications.Methods Orthotopic homologous heart transplantation and heart-lung co- transplantation on 9 cases were performed from May 2004 to February 2006.The patients were traced closely and all complications were treated in time.Results During hospital stay,hypertension oc- curred in one case,right heart insufficiency in one case,infection of mycetes and cytomegalovirus in 2 cases after the heart transplantation,and in the patient undergoing heart-lung co-transplantation,renal inadequacy,bronchial anastomosis stenosis and fungus infection occurred.All patients obtained symp- tomatic relief before discharge.Conclusion Proper perioperative management,immunosuppressive therapy and management of postoperative complications could reduce mortality and obtain satisfactory therapeutic effect in the near future.

Objective To review the feedback from trainees and trainers of interactive clinical skill training workshop for general practice.Methods An interactive clinical training workshop was held on October,2014,medical staff from 17 provinces or municipalities attended the workshop.Feedback from 86 trainees was collected by questionnaire survey,while the feedback from 12 trainers was collected by focus group.Results Total 86 questionnaires were collected from trainees with a response rate of 100％.The average working year of trainees was 15.6 ; 38.4％ of them were general practitioners in community health centers; and most of them had no similar trainings before.Among 86 trainees,70 (81.4％) thought that the training contents were relevant to their daily work,76 (88.4％) thought that workshop was good method for the training.More than 55.0％ trainees told that the training contents met their expectation ; 76 (88.4％) thought that the workshop was well conducted in general,68 (79.1％) were willing to participate similar training workshops in the future.However,the contents probably need similar training advised by the trainers in the questionnaire were not agreed by trainees.The trainers thought the width and depth of training contents should be modified according to the trainees' level.Basic knowledge,basic clinical skill and common diseases should be emphasized ; and the concept of general practice and indications of referral were among the important but difficult parts in the training.For an interactive clinical skill training,teaching materials preparation,lacale control and local teaching facilities were all important.Conclusions Clinical skill training is an important part of general practitioners' training,and workshop is an effective way for training.The training contentd should be more closer to the daily work of general practitioners.

72 cases of treatments on insomnia were recorded in the medical books of Ming and Qing dynasties(A.D.1368～1911 years).The compatibility regularity of treating insomnia in these 72 cases were statistically analyzed with frequency and the R type cluster analysis methods. Combining the data and modern recognition, compatibility and medication regularity of treating insomnia was further analyzed.

Through retrieval of all medical journals of CNKI and VIP from Jan. 1996 to Oct. 2012, ninety-nine articles were selected and analyzed. The result shows that reliable effect can be found in pain relieving, especially in pain of muscles and soft tissues. In mechanism research, action mechanism of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) on pain relieving is expounded through theory of traditional medicine and modern medicine. Although the effect of FSN on pain relieving has been confirmed by numerous clinical trials, it is still lack of explanation on mechanism revealing. The further studies should focus on mechanism expounding, improving research methods and selecting more objective and reasonable evaluation system. Therefore, the effectiveness and scientificalness of FSN can be further enhanced.

Objective To determine the effects of~(99)Tc-MDP on joint inflammation and bone destruc- tion in collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)rats model and its effect on tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-?). Methods CIA was induced by immunization of male SD rats with an emulsion of collagen.~(99)Tc-MDP or placebo was intravenous infused to rats for 20 days.Joint inflammation was assessed by arthritis index.Lesions of bone were assessed based on the histological changes in ankle joints,radiographic analysis in hind paw with Larsen score.Systemic TNF-?level was measured by radioimmune assay.Results~(99)Tc-MDP suppressed joint swelling(P

Objective We aimed to use 1H-MRS to characterize metabolite concentrations in the bilateral hippo?campus in GPI patient. Methods Metabolite ratios in the bilateral hippocampus were compared between patients with GPI (n=52) and Normal Control (NC) (n=38). Clinical neurological tests were measured in all subjects and were correlat?ed to the metabolite concentrations. Results The GPI patients showed significantly lower concentrations of N-acetylas?partate(NAA)/creatine(Cr) ratios in the bilateral hippocampus region compared to the NC subjects. There was significant?ly difference in the NAA/Cr ratios between the mild GPI dementia and the severe GPI dementia groups on the left hippo?campus region. We found that the NAA/Cr ratios concentrations were positively correlated with Mini Mental state Exami?nation (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) scores in the left hippocampus region and the mI/Cr ra?tios concentrations were positively correlated. Conclusions GPI Patients have neuronal dysfunction in the bilateral hippo?campus. The severity of cognitive impairments is associated with the severity of the damage in the left side.

Objective To investigate the role of cerebrospinal fluie( CSF)cytology on eiagnosis of meningeal cancer. Methods Retrospectively analyzee the clinical eata of 23 cases with meningeal cancer. Results (1)Of 23 patients,CSF eetection of 17 cases were showee with cancer cells at the first lumbar puncture,3 cases at the 2ne lumbar puncture,2 cases at the 3re eetection,ane 1 case at 4th eetection.(2)Of 23 cases with cerebrospinal fluie cytology positive patients,17 cases were carriee cranial MRI scan. The MRI showee that 9 were normal ane 8 cases were brain parenchyma ane meningeal image enhance. Ten cases were performee the enhancee MRI scan,5 cases were with extensive meningeal thickening,3 cases were showee meningeal extensive enhancement of brain surfer ane intracranial cerebral sulci,1 case was the circular shaeow strengthen at eifferent size at next to the eouble lateral parietal,occipital ane left cerebella hemisphere,ans 1 case was with tough brain surface ane abnormally long T1,long T2 signal at lateral ventricles,thire ventricle, fourth ventricle epeneymal.(3)The relationship between the primary tumor ane cancer eetection in cerebrospinal fluie:19 patients were foune with primary tumor lesions,inclueing 5 cases leukemia(3 cases with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,2 cases with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia),4 cases with lung cancer,3 cases with breast cancer,2 cases with brain lymphoma,1 case with melanoma,1 case with Hoegkin′s lymphoma,l case with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, 1 case with vaginal squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case with gastric carcinoma. Conclusion Multiple cerebrospinal fluie cytology eetection may improve meningeal cancer eetection rate. CSF cytology eetection can improve eiagnosis rate of meningeal cancer. No relationship between the eetection of cancer cells in cerebrospinal fluie ane brain MRI meningeal lesions,ane the further research neee to be eone with expaneing the sample size.
