Objective To evaluate the value of preoperative spiral CT (SCT) scanning in the diagnosis and staging of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma. Methods The results of SCT scanning of 34 patients with middle-late stage rectal carcinomas were compared with the pathological examination results and the findings of surgical operation. Results SCT could display the manifestations of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma, such as rectal wall thickening, local tumor mass, tumor invasion of rectal circumference, narrow rectal cava, lymph node enlarging (diameter≥10mm) and tumor distant metastasis. According to Duke's staging, the overall accuracy of SCT staging was 70.6%, and for the stages B1, B2, C, and D the sensitivity was 83.3%, 50%, 66.7%, 78.5%, and the specificity was 62.5%, 44.4%, 57.1%, 100%, respectively. According to TNM staging, the overall accuracy of SCT was 73.5%, and for the stages T2, T3, T4 the sensitivity was 85.7%, 61.5%, 78.6%, and the specificity was 54.5%, 66.7%, 100%, respectively. Conclusion Preoperative SCT could display the invasive range of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma and the tumor lymph nodes metastasis, especially distant metastasis, and had a definite diagnostic value.

Objective To explore the predictive effect of modified DECAF,DECAF,CAPS and APACHEⅡin the assessment of prognosis of AECOPD patients with respiratory failure. Methods Clinical data of 186 AECOPD cases complicated with respiratory failure were analyzed and four score modes were used within 24 hours of admission. Clinical endpoints were patients′ survival status 28 days after admission. The discriminative power of the four score modes was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results AUC of the modified DECAF(0.777,95%CI:0.710-0.835) and DECAF (0.766,95%CI:0.699-0.825) for prognosis was significantly greater than that of CAPS(0.699 ,95%:0.628-0.764) and APACHEⅡ(0.715,95%:0.645-0.779). Conclusion The modified DECAF and DECAF have predictive values on assessing the prognosis of AECOPD patients with respiratory failure ,which are simple and efficient.

Kinesio Taping therapy is commonly used in sports injury, and has been focused in central neurological rehabilitation in recent years. This article reviewed the efficacy, mechanism of Kinesio Taping in central neurological rehabilitation.

Objective To study the advantage and disadvantage of two types of rat heart trans- plantation models.Methods Twenty Wistar rats served as donors and 20 SD rats as recipients ran- domly in two groups.Abdominal working and nonworking cardiac transplantation models from Wistar to SD rats were established.In the working model,the donors pulmonary artery was anastomosed to the left atrial appendage.The left ventricle ejected volume through an end to side anastomosis of the donor's aorta to the recipient's abdominal aorta.In the nonworking cardiac transplantation model,the donor's pulmonary artery was anastomosed to the recipient's inferior vena cava and the donor aorta was anastomosed to the recipient aorta.Results Working model and nonworking model were successfully established.The survival rate of both models was 90 %.Total operating time of the working model was 10 min shorter than the nonworking model.Postoperative UCG demonstrated the working trans- planted hearts had ejection.Conclusions Rat abdominal working cardiac transplantation model was used perfectly with high rate of survival and shorter total operating time.The working model approached cardiac physiological functions more than the nonworking model.

Objective To investigate the employment status of higher vocational medical col-lege graduates in Hainan province, analyze the existing employment problems, and put forward some effective suggestions. Methods A questionnaire was applied to survey the employment problems of 1 048 medical graduate in 11 medical related field of Grade 2012. A total of 989 valid questionnaires were collected. The questionnaires covered six aspects including graduates' basic information, their employment intention, access to employment information channel, service and satisfaction about school employment agencies, and employment psychology etc. SPSS 13.0 was used to analyze the statistical numbers in each option and the percentage was calculated. Results Only 22.9%(227/989) of the graduates were willing to accept the provincial employment, 49.1%(486/989) of the graduates obtained employment information channels through the school employment sector; 10.6%(105/989) of gradu-ates expressed dissatisfaction with employment services; graduates' entrepreneurial intention reached 26.9%(267/989); only 19.8% of graduates signed employment agreement, and 25.1%(248/989) of gradu-ates face the employment with anxiety and confusion. Conclusion The higher vocational medi-cal graduates in Hainan provinces need to change their employment concept and school employment guidance needs strengthening to link up the employer position requirements and expectations of grad-uates employment. Besides, the school enrollment professional settings and employment market demand also need to be linked up, to guarantee the system interface between career guidance, internship and training base.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of inducing choroidal neovascularization(CNV) in Brown Norway(BN) rats by diode laser with wavelength of 810 nm. Methods Thirty-five BN rats were divided into(7 groups.)In each groups,one rat served as control,while the other four recieved retinal photocoagulation by diode(laser) in two eyes,at a spot size of 75 ?m with a duration of 100 ms and power of 140 mW.On 1,3,7,14,21,28 and 56 days after photocoagulation,the formation and nature process of CNV were observed by fundus fluorescein(angiography)(FFA),indocyaninegreen angiography(ICGA) and light microscopy(LM). Results FFA,ICGA and LM demonstrated that CNV began to form on the seventh day after photocoagulation,increased on the fourteenth day,reached the peak on the twenty-first day and kept stable until the fifty-sixth day. Conclusion Diode Laser can successfully induced CNV in BN rats,and it is an ideal animal model for further study.

An enhanced gold immunochromatographic assay ( GICA ) with simplicity, rapidity and high sensitivity was developed to detect imidaclothiz by using the high affinity between biotin and streptavidin. The 13-nm AuNPs were double-labeled with anti-imidaclothiz antibody and biotinylated DNA, and the 41-nm AuNPs were labeled with streptavidin to prepare an enhanced gold immunochromatographic test strip for imidaclothiz. The working conditions of the strip were systematically optimized, and the sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy were assessed by testing the cross-reactivity ( CR) , spiked recovery and validation with high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) . Under the optimal conditions, the detection could be completed in 10 min with visual result, and the limit of detection ( LOD ) was 25 ng/mL. The analysis showed no cross-reactivity with analogues of imidaclothiz except for imidacloprid. The detection results of GICA agreed with the spiked concentrations of imidaclothiz at spiked levels of 0 . 05 , 0 . 5 and 5 μg/g in river water, rice, cucumber, tomato, pear, cabbage and apple samples. The detection results of GICA for imidaclothiz in unknown concentration river water and pear samples were consistent with that of HPLC.

Objective To review the experience of perioperative management and effect of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients of aged＞80 years.Methods We studied 118 cases with CABG for patients of age＞80 years from January 2002 to December 2012.The other 1034 cases with CABG for patients aged 60-80 years were enrolled as control group.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effect of age on operative mortality and morbidity.Results The recent mortality was higher in group aged＞80 years [6.8％(8 cases) vs.3.1％(32 cases)].Through multivariate logistic regression,the patients aged＞80 years versus control were concerned about some postoperative adverse events as follows:higher mortality (OR =3.45,95 ％ CI:2.86-4.23),dialysis (OR=3.56,95％CI:3.01-4.32) and re-intubation(OR=3.87,95％CI:3.45-4.87),delayed healing of incision(OR=4.05,95 ％ CI:3.47 5.74),prolonged mechanical ventilation(OR=3.76,95 ％ CI:3.435.01),prolonged ICU stay (OR =2.98,95 ％ CI:2.67 4.12),prolonged hospital stay (OR =2.87,95％CI:2.36-3.96).Conclusions Age＞80 years is an important factor of postoperative mortality and morbidity for CABG.We need pay more attention to perioperative management.
