Objectives:To evaluate the efficiency of packing jaw defects with a composite of coral and bone marrow.　Methods:Twelve patients (9 with jaw cyst and 3 with ameloblastoma) underwent enucleation of jaw lesion and packing with a composite of coral and bone marrow.Repair of the bone defects was evaluated at 1 week,1,6 and 12 months postoperatively by clinical examination and X-ray films.　Results:Wound healing after the operations on 10 patients was uneventful,and definite ossification around the implanted material could be detected at 1 month postoperatively.A lot of bone formation and partial resorption of coral were observed at 6 months postoperatively.Complete resorption of coral and complete bone repair were obtained at 12 months postoperatively.Wound breakdown was observed on two other patients,and the composite had to be removed completely.　Conclusions:A composite of coral and bone marrow may enhances bone healing in jaw defects after cyst or ameloblastoma removal.

Objectives: To study the histopathological grading and the clinical-staging system on the surgical prognosis in patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) of the salivary glands. 　Methods: Analysis were made to the primary sites, clinical findings and the correlation between the histopathological-grading/clinical-staging system and the surgical prognosis in 43 patients with pathological evidence of MEC. 　Results: Recurrence or regional lymph node metastasis were diagnosed in 6 of the 36 MEC patients, among which 4 were well differentiated and 2 were poorly differentiated, 1 was in stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ, and 5 were in the stage of Ⅲ or Ⅳ, there were 23 survivors. Thirteen of the 36 patients died, 4 of whom from MEC and 9 from reasons not related to MEC. All the died were in stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ. 　Conclusions: Recurrence or metastasis of MEC correlates with clinical-staging, but not related to the histopathological grading, this suggested that ablative surgery of the primary tumor and dissection of the regional lymphatic system are required in cases of Ⅲ and Ⅳstage MEC. Postoperative irradiation is proposed in the event of inadequate resection.

This paper reports 17 cases of hypomagnesemic convulsiens of the newhorn that were admitted from Se-Ptember 1981 to January 1983. Only 2 patients were breast-fed.Symptoms and signs of hypomagnesemia are indistinguishable from these of hypocalcemia unless the serum magne-sium is determ ined. Serum magnes iumlevels had been determined in 50 normal children. The average value-2 standard deviation=2.17-2?0.34=1.49mEq/L.We defined hypomagnesemia as the serum magnesium lcvels below 1.48mEg/L. The serum magnesium levels of 17 patients varied from 0.65 to 1.46m Eq/L. Of 10 cases serum calcium le-vel6mg/dl.2.5%MgSO_4 was given intraveno-usly by continuous infusion in a dose of 2-4ml/kg every 12 hours. After the convulsions had been controlled a dose of 25% MgSO_4 was given intramuscul-arly in a dose of 0.4ml/kg twice daily Convulsions usually ceased after 1--4doses of MgSO_4, but the serum magne-sium levels did not rise to normal le-vels until 2-6 days. The convulsions could not be controlled by repeated ad-ministrations of calcium gluconate in 5 patients who had both hypomagnes-emja and hypocalcemia. Only after theadministiation of MgSO_4 did the serum calicum levels rise to the normal level and the convulsions cease.Electrocardjograms recorded in 7 patients all were abnormal but 1 case,so we should pay attention to the inf-luence of magnesium upon the heart.

Objectives:The effects of pingyangmycin(PYM) in the treatment of cavernous hemangioma, strawberry hemangioma and mixed hemangioma in the oromaxillofacial and intraoral regions is evaluated.　Methods:450 cases of hemangioma in the oromaxillofacial regions from January 1993 to January 1999 were reviewed. PYM was injected into the cavity or in the circumference of the hemangioma, and the injection may be repeated every 7～10 days for 3～5 times.　Results:450 patients were followed-up for 6 months～6 years. 86.89% were cured and nearlly cured,and 12% were improved. The total efficiency rate was 98.86%. The cure and elementary cure rates of cavernous hemangioma, strawberry hemangioma and mixed hemangioma were 91.04%, 86.08% and 78.01%, respectively, but the elementary cure rate of the wine color stainscapillary hemangioma was 14.29% only.　Conclusions:This method may be a safe, simple and effective therapy for cavernous hemangioma, strawberry hemangioma and mixed hemangioma in the oromaxillofacial regions.

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and side effects of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blockades and rectal paracetamol after pediatric inguinal hernia repair.MethodsNinety children undergoing half inguinal hernia repair were randomly divided into 3 groups:nerve block group(n=30),paracetamol group(n=30) and control group(n=30).After basal anesthesia,ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blockades was administed in nerve block group,paracetamol group received rectal paracetamol,control group had not any medication.Every child was oberserved 1,3,6,8 h postoperatively for pain score,overall satisfaction were evaluated by parents,furthermore,evaluation of distress for children such as nausea,vomiting and delayed femoral nerve palsy was made.ResultsPain scores were significantly lower in nerve block group and paracetamol group during the postoperative follow-up 1,3 and 6 h.Overall satisfaction in nerve block group and paracetamol group were significantly higher than control group.The incidence of delayed femoral nerve palsy in nerve block group was higher than paracetamol group(F=4.22P

The clinical outcomes of five groups of infertility patients receiving frozenthawed,cleavage-stage embryo transfers with exogenous hormone protocols with or without a depot gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist were assessed.A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on 1003 cycles undergoing frozen-thawed,cleavage-stage embryo transfers from January 1,2012 to June 31,2015 in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region.Based on the infertility etiologies of the patients,the 1003 cycles were divided into five groups:tubal infertility,polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS),endometriosis,male infertility,and unexplained infertility.The main outcome was the live birth rate.Two groups were set up based on the intervention:group A was given a GnRH agonist with exogenous estrogen and progesterone,and group B (control group) was given exogenous estrogen and progesterone only.The results showed that the baseline serum hormone levels and basic characteristics of the patients were not significantly different between groups A and B.The live birth rates in groups A and B were 41.67％ and 29.29％,respectively (P＜0.05).The live birth rates in patients with PCOS in groups A and B were 56.25％ and 30.61％,respectively (P＜0.05).The clinical pregnancy,implantation and on-going pregnancy rates showed the same trends as the live birth rates between groups A and B.The ectopic pregnancy rate was significantly lower in group A than in group B.We concluded that the live birth rate was higher and other clinical outcomes were more satisfactory with GnRH agonist cotreatment than without GnRH agonist co-treatment for frozen-thawed embryo transfer.The GnRH agonist combined with exogenous estrogen and progesterone worked for all types of infertility tested,especially for women with PCOS.

The distribution information of Lomatogonium rotatum. was collected by interview investigation and field survey, and 55 related environmental factors were collected, the habitat suitability study was conducted based on geographic information system (GIS) and maximum entropy model. The AUCs of ROC curve were both above 0.99, indicating that the predictive results with the maximum model were highly precise. The results showed that 13 major environmental factors have obvious influence on ecology suitability distributions of L. rotatum, including month average temperature of February et al., the suitable distribution areas are mainly concentrated in the east-central of Inner Mongolia, including Hexigten banner, Duolun county, Zhenglan banner et al., The zoning results basically coincide with the genuine producing areas, and further afford new suitable distribution areas, which can provide reference for L. rotatum's wild nursery and the siting of introduction and cultivation.
