Objective To study the value and feasibility of temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing. Method Two hundred patients with severe witnessed bradycardia were treated with temporary emergency cardiac pacing. We treated 130 patients with emergency bedside pacing and 70 patients with x-ray-guided pacing. Results Emergency bedside pacing was successful in 127 patients except three patients and no postoperative complications occurred. X-ray-guided pacing was successful in all 70 patients but three patients experienced complications: one deep venous thrombosis and two cardiac tamponades due to myocardial perforation. The pacing electrodes were more likely to be displaced in X-ray-guided pacing than in emergency bedside pacing (six cases versus three cases) . The door-to-operation time was 30-90 min for x-ray-guided cardiac pacing and 5-15 min for emergency bedside pacing. Needle-to-pacing times were similar for both procedures (3.5 ± 1.5 min for x-ray guided pacing versus 4± 2.5 min for bedside pacing). Conclusions Temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing is a rapid, efficient and safe procedure for treating severe witnessed bradycardia. The technique is easily mastered and may prove lifesaving in an emergency.

Objective To investigate the incidence and extent of biopsy tract contamination in malignant bone tumors by either core needle biopsy or open biopsy and detect the safe extent in resection of biopsy tract. Methods Forty-eight cases were performed core needle biopsy, including 37 osteosarcomas, 5 malignant fibrous histiocytomas, 1 juxtacortical osteosarcoma, 1 low grade central osteosarcoma, 1 periosteal osteosarcoma, 1 primary malignant melanoma of bone and 2 chondrosarcomas. There were 37 males and 11 females with a mean age of 23.3 years (range, 10-64 years). The mean time between core needle biopsy and definitive surgery was 1.3 months (range, 0-2 months). All the patients were performed limb salvage surgery.Twenty-six cases were performed open biopsy, including 20 osteosareomas, 1 Ewing's sarcoma, 2 chondrosarcomas, 1 mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, 1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma, 1 lymphoma. There were 21males and 5 females with a mean age of 21.9 years (range, 8-59 years). The mean time between open biopsy and definitive surgery was 2.3 months (range, 1-4 months). The tumor and tissue around the biopsy tract at least 2 cm were resected. The pathological examination was performed in specimens via the biopsy tract, including the normal soft tissue outside the tumor, deep fascia, subcutaneous tissue and skin. The incidence and extent of biopsy tract contamination were evaluated with pathological examination. Results Forty-four cases were followed up. The mean follow-up time was 17.6 months (range, 4-39 months). In core needle biopsy group, four of forty-eight cases were found malignant tumor cells seeding in biopsy tract, the positive rate was 8.3%. In open biopsy group, all the cases were followed up with the mean time of 12.9 months (range, 2-29 months), and two of twenty-six cases were found malignant tumor cells seeding in biopsy tract,the positive rate was 7.7%. Conclusion Biopsy of malignant bone tumors has the risk of biopsy tract contamination. The tumor cell seeding exists in both core needle biopsy and open biopsy. The biopsy tract should be performed en bloc resection with the tumor.

Objective To study the sonographic features of solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas(SPTP) and to explore the value of ultrasound in the dignosis,differential dignosis and type of SPTP.Methods B-mode ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) of nine cases of SPTP confirmed by clinical and pathology were enrolled in the study and some cases were compared with the findings of computed tomography (CT).Results On B-mode ultrasound images,tumors showed solid,solid and cystic alternative distributions or cystic structures,presenting as round or oval shape,well-defined margins.Of these nine lesions,one was mainly composed of solid part,seven showed solid tumor with cystic component inside and one showed cystic tumor.All tumors were encapsulated.The encapsulation was completive in seven cases,incontinuous in one case and interruptive in one case.In CDFI,blood flow was found in five cases, three cases were I-brand,one case was II-brand,one case was III-brand.The peak systolic velocity ranged from 8.6 cm/s to 33.2 cm/s,three cases were less than 20 cm/s.Resistance index(RI) varied from 0.38 to 0.56 and three cases were lower than 0.5.According to the sonographic features of SPTP,combined with related reviews about the tumor,those masses were classified into three types as homogeneous solid,solid and cystic alternative distributions and cystic tumor.Conclusions The B-mode ultrasound and CDFI characteristic findings might be of great value in dignosis and differential dignosis of SPTP.

Objective To learn the suitability and validity of readmission service at counties and townships in rural China.Methods Seven pilot counties were randomly selected from the eastern,middle and western areas of China,and five diseases of the respiratory infection and cerebral system were set as the targets,while 600 target inpatient readmitted who had any of the five target diseases from 2012 to 2013 in such counties were selected from the NRCMS database.With expert consultation and empirical evaluation,the fitness of the days of stay at township hospital and necessity of hospitalization at county hospitals were evaluated for such target inpatients.Results 64.7％ of the target inpatients were found with unfit days of stay at township hospitals,mostly too short;59.0％ of the target inpatients' hospitalization at county hospitals were found with serious risk factors during their hospitalization;18.5％ of the inpatients were found with unnecessary hospitalization.Conclusions Hierarchical medical system can enhance the efficiency of the heahhcare system,but the current validity of readmission is poor,so is the fitness of days of stay at township hospitals,and the quality of the referral pattern.These problems mostly result from poor medical competence at township hospitals and high autonomy of patients in seeking medical service anywhere in the country.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the influencing factors for repeated implantation failure (RIF) after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in China, so as to provide the evidence for prevention of RIF. Methods: Literature on influencing factors for RIF in China were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Medical Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase from inception to September, 2024. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares. Literature were excluded one by one for sensitivity analysis. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test. Results: Initially 4 836 relevant articles were retrieved, and 12 of them were finally included, with a total sample size of 11 554 individuals. There were 10 case-control studies, 1 cohort study, and 1 cross-sectional study; and 10 high-quality studies and 2 medium-quality studies. The meta-analysis showed that factors including advanced age (OR=1.121, 95%CI: 1.035-1.215), prolonged infertility duration (OR=1.237, 95%CI: 1.091-1.403), abnormal hysteroscopy findings (OR=2.205, 95%CI: 1.119-4.348), positive anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) (OR=2.393, 95%CI: 1.473-3.886), and positive anti-beta2 glycoprotein Ⅰ antibody (β2-GPⅠ-Ab) (OR=2.824, 95%CI: 1.987-4.013) were associated with an increased risk of RIF; while factors including the large number of embryos transferred (OR=0.309, 95%CI: 0.098-0.973), thicker endometrium (OR=0.601, 95%CI: 0.556-0.650), and higher granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) levels (OR=0.657, 95%CI: 0.511-0.845) were associated with a reduced risk of RIF. Conclusion IVF-ET RIF is associated with age, infertility duration, number of embryos transferred, endometrial thickness, hysteroscopy findings, G-CSF levels, ANA and β2-GPⅠ-Ab.
