Objective To evaluate the imaging features of acute necrotizing encephalopathy caused by children A H1N1 influenza.Methods CT and MRI brain imaging data of three children acute necrotizing encephalopathy caused by A H1N1 influenza virus and proved by clinical and laboratory investigation were analyzed.All the three children got CT and MRI scan because of coma while in hospital.Results All cases represented multifocal damage,and some were symmetrical.Bilateral thalamencephalons were involved in the all cases.Bilateral grey and white matters of frontal lobe,temporal lobe,parietal lobe and occipital lobe,and hippocampi,putamina,external capsule,brain stem,bilateral cerebellum,could be seen multifocal damage,and some were symmetrical.All the cases showed brain swelling in varying degrees.These region presented low density in CT,hypointensity on T1 weighted series and hyperintensity on T2 weighted series and FLAIR series in MRI.Conclusion The imaging features of acute necrotizing encephalopathy caused by children A H1N1 influenza represented multifocal and symmetrical damage and brain swelling.It may be characteristic that bilateral thalamencephaloas were involved.The patient was serious,and fatality rate was high.So we should pay much attention to acute necrotizing encephalopathy caused by children A H1 N1 influenza.

Objective To investigate infection rate of human papillomavirus as well as the correlation between cervical precancerous lesions and co-infection of human HPV,herpes simple virus-2 (HSV-2) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in Chinese women of childbearing age in Kunming,Yunnan province.Methods A total of 2128 women (18-24,25-34,35-49 years of age),who had healthy care examination in our institute from January 2010 to March 2011,were selected prospectively in this study.The infection of HPV,HSV-2 and CMV were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) and cervical precancerous lesions were determined by the ThinPrep liquid-based cytology test (TCT).Results The overall infection rates of high risk HPV (HR-HPV),HSV-2,CMV were 11.04％(235/2128),3.52％ (75/2128) and 5.26％ (112/2128),respectively.The HR-HPV infection rates in groups of Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion or Malignancy (NILM),Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS),Low grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LSIL),High grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion(HSIL),and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) were 4.29％ (82/1912),55.93％ (66/118),84.62％ (44/52),93.19％ (41/44) and 2/2,respectively.HR-HPV infection rates was increased with the development of cervical lesion (r =0.644,P =0.000).No significant difference on the infection rates of HR-HPV and HSV-2 was identified between different age groups (x2 =2.979,P =0.226; x2 =0.798,P =0.671).The peak age groups for CMV infection (7.62％) were 18 to 24 years old and the infection rates of CMV decrease with age.No significant difference of HSV-2 and HR-HPV coinfection was found between the TCT-abnormal (3.24％,7/216) and control groups (2.41％,46/1912,x2 =0.557,P=0.455),and no relationship was found between HSV-2 and HR-HPV infection groups (OR =0.56,95％ CI:0.17-1.82).The infection of HR-HPV were related significantly with CMV infection (OR =3.14,95％ CI:1.25-7.86).Conclusion HR-HPV infection appears to be the key risk factor for cervical cancer and synergistic interaction may occur between CMV and HPV infections in the development of cervical lesion.

Objective To study the CT and MRI characteristics of myxoid soft tissue tumours.Methods Fifty-three myxoid soft tissue tumours pathologically confirmed were retrospectively studied.MR and CT scan were performed before operation.Noncontrast T1 and T2 weighted images,fat-suppressed T2 weighted images were obtained before contrast-enhanced scan with fat-suppressed T1 weighted sequence was underwent.Plain and contrast-enhanced CT was performed with tube potential of 120 kV,matrix 512 × 512,and automatic tube current modulation technique.Results There were 18 myxoid liposarcoma,3 ganglioneuroma,8 myxofibrosarcoma,2 extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma,10 intramuscular myxoma,and 2 juxta-articular myxoma.Microscopic examination showed myxoid soft tissue tumours which were consisted of abundant myxoid stroma with tumour cells and blood vessels associated with fibrous bands.Low density in CT images,hypointensity in T1 weighted images,significantly hyperintense in T2 weighted images were their common manifestations in the area of abundance of extracellular myxiod matrix.Plain CT images demonstrated equidensite,T1 weighted images isointensity,and fat-suppressed T1 weighted images significant enhancement relatively in the areas of increased number of tumor cells.Hemorrhage,necrosis and capsule of the lesion were revealed in high grade malignant tumors.The septa can be identified in most of myxoid tumours of soft tissue.Conclusion CT and MRI can definitely show the image characteristics of myxiod soft tissue tumours,which can help make a qualitative diagnosis before operation.

Reduced responsiveness to reward stimuli is a central feature of major depressive disorder (MDD). Study on the changes of neural substrates and behavior contributes to understand the mechanism of MDD. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has the unique advantage of investigating reward processing, which is of importance in the brain imaging study. The progresses of event-related fMRI (ER-fMRI) in field of rewarding stimuli in major depressive disorder were reviewed in this article.

Objective To explore the effects of health belief mode (HBM)-based home visits on the blood pressure (BP) and health-related behaviors of elderly hypertensive patients.Methods One-year HBM-based home visits were paid to 114 elderly hypertensive patients over 80 years old chosen from the community.The normalization rate of blood pressure after intervention at 3,6,12 months and health-related behaviors after intervention were also compared with those of pre-intervention.Results The BP after intervention was improved significantly after intervention as compared with that of pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Health-related behaviors after intervention were significantly more than those before pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Conclusions The hypertensions are controlled effectively with the implementation of the HBM-based home visits to the elderly hypertensive patients.The development of disease in elderly hypertensive patients can be slowed down and their life quality can be improved.

Objective　To study the relationship between the biologic behaviours of gastric carcinoma (GC) and the immune reaction cells of GC tissue. Methods　One hundred and seven radical gastrectomy specimens and 3 to 8 years follow-up data were quantitatively assessed on the reactive degree of lymph-plasma cells and eosinophils with CMIAS image analysis system. Mast cell reaction was accounted in the low power microscopy. Each indicator was divided into two groups, high reaction group and low reaction group, according to the intensity of reactions. Both high reaction and low reaction group were analysed on the base of clinicopathologic parameters. Results　There was a significant difference in the survival time, depth of tumour invasion and lymph node metastasis in GC tissue between high reaction group and low reaction group (P<0.05). Conclusions　Local immune reaction cells plays an important role in the defense mechanism of GC host against the tumour cells invising and spreading.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in treatment of neonatal atelectasis.Methods Eligible patients, who were diagnosed as neonatal pulmonary atelectasis and admitted consecutively to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2013 to January 2015, were included in the study.They were randomly assigned to FFB group (n=30) and control group (n=28).Newborns in the FFB group received BAL under FFB, while those controls received tracheal irrigation after intubation.The duration of lung recruitment, oxygen exposure and antibiotic administration, hospital stay, culture results of respiratory secretions, prognosis and total expenses during hospitalization were compared between the two groups.Complications of FFB were also recorded.Chi-square test and t-test were performed for statistical analysis.Results (1) In the FFB group, atelectasis occurred in the upper fight lobe (n=26), upper lobes of both sides (n=1), lower right lobe (n=2) and lower left lobe (n=1), while in the control group, atelectasis occurred in the upper right lobe (n=26), lower left lobe (n=1) and middle right lobe (n=2) (x2=0.094, P ＞ 0.05).(2) The positive rate of bacteria culture results showed no difference between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in FFB group and tracheal secretions in the controls [43％(13/30) vs 32％(9/28), x2=0.770, P ＞ 0.05].(3) The duration of lung recruitment, antibiotic administration and hospital stay of the FFB group were all shorter than those of the control group [(4.7±3.4) vs (7.4±6.6) d, (14.0±4.5) vs (20.3±10.9) d, (15.1±4.7) vs (21.8±12.3) d, t=-5.718, 8.604 and 7.733, all P ＜ 0.05].(4) Among babies in the FFB group, nine experienced fever and returned to normal after physical cooling;three showed more shadow in chest X-ray with aggravated dyspnea during a short period, and relieved 12 hours later;two had minimal hemorrhage from tracheal mucous membrane;one showed crying hoarse.Serious complications, such as pneumothorax, massive bleeding or cardiac arrest, did not occurred.No death or refuse of treatment was reported.Conclusion FFB and BAL is much more effective than tracheal irrigation after intubation in treatment of neonatal atelectasis without any severe complications.

Objective The study aimed to explore the reliability and validity of public health practitioners 'job satisfaction scale. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted with professional and technical personnel in the province engaged in the work of public health of investigation;they were enrolled through the multi?stage cluster random sampling method for establishing the scale 's internal consistency reliability and structur?al validity. Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total satisfaction scale was 0.900. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.896, 0.781,and 0.799 for career development and achievement,relationship and career retention,and income and promotion latitudes,respectively. Four principal components were extracted and the results showed that the cumulative contribution rate was 69.72%and the factor analysis results were basically consistent with the theoretical structure. Conclusion The scale is thus considered to be a reliable and effective measurement tool assessing public health practitioners'job satisfaction,as it had good reliability and validity.

Objective To analyze the changes of WBC classification,sugar and protein in cerebro-spinal fluid(CSF)and pathogenic bacteria of neonatal purulent meningitis.Methods Thirty-one neonates with bacterial meningitis in our department of neonatology from June 201 1 to June 2013 were enrolled,and the clinical features,pathogenic bacteria,laboratory examination of CSF were analyzed.Results Fever (90.3%),convulsions(67.7%)and changed consciousness(58.1 %)were common clinical symptoms.The incidences of other nervous system abnormal signs such as gastrointestinal dysfunction(25.8%),abnormal breathing(16.1 %),cervical resistance(16.1 %),bulging fontanel(9.7%)were lower.The Gram -negative bacteria was more than Gram -positive in both blood and CSF culture.The escherichia coli was the most common bacteria,with positive rate of 38.1 %(8 /21 )in blood culture and 55.5%(5 /9)in CSF culture.The germiculture positive rate in CSF was lower than in blood culture (29.0% vs.67.7%).Polymorphonuclear leukocyte(PMN)[(79.61 ±12.06)%]was the most predominant cell of the leukocyte classification in CSF within 1 week in all cases,PMN was still predominant in 1 to 2 weeks in 7 cases,while only 2 cases in 2 to 3 weeks still dominated by PMN,PMN was not the predominant cell 3 weeks later.Conclusion In the typi-cal neonatal purulent meningitis,PMN was the predominant cell in CSF within the first week,but the propor-tion of monocyte gradually increased and was dominant later.Escherichia coli was a common bacteria caused by this disease.
