Objective To explore the clinical effect of intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG)on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and fungal infection.Methods Seventy-two COPD patients with fungal infection were randomly and equally divided into conventional and intervention group.Patients in conventional group were treated with common schedule for COPD plus antifungal agents;patients in intervention group received 1 0 g/d IVIG besides routine therapy.Length of hospital stay and prognosis were recorded,and therapeutic effectiveness were evaluated. Results The effectiveness rate of intervention group was significantly higher than that of conventional group ([88.89%,32/36]vs [66.67%,24/36]);the average length of hospital stay was significantly shorter than conven-tional group ([12.62±7.51]d vs [20.81±6.92]d),and mortality was lower than conventional group ([5.56%, 2/36]vs [22.22%,8/36]),the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion IVIG for treating COPD with invasive pulmonary fungal infection can improve therapeutic efficacy,shorten length of hospital stay and decrease mortality rate.

To solve the problems of noise interference and edge signal weakness for the existing medical image, we used two-dimensional wavelet transform to process medical images. Combined the directivity of the image edges and the correlation of the wavelet coefficients, we proposed a medical image processing algorithm based on wavelet characteristics and edge blur detection. This algorithm improved noise reduction capabilities and the edge effect due to wavelet transformation and edge blur detection. The experimental results showed that directional correlation improved edge based on wavelet transform fuzzy algorithm could effectively reduce the noise signal in the medical image and save the image edge signal. It has the advantage of the high-definition and de-noising ability.

Donanemab is a novel anti-amyloid antibody medication that is primarily used to treat early-stage symptomatic Alzheimer's disease.Clinical investigations have demonstrated that it modulates issues with cognitive function and everyday functioning.Preclinical research has discovered that it reduces amyloid deposition in the hippocampus and cortical layers of the brain.To better comprehend cutting-edge novel medications,this article examines the latest research on donanemab.

Objective To study the location of coronary chronic total occlusion and the correlatin between coronary chronic total occlusion and coronary collateral. Methods SPSS was used to analyze the general clinical and coronary angiographic data of 113 patients with coronary bypass surgery performed. Results There were 61 patients with coronary chronic total occlusion. 71 sites of coronary chronic total occlusions were observed by coronary angiography, of which, one was located in left main coronary artery (0 9%), 17 in proximal left anterior descending artery (15 0%) , 9 in middle left anterior descending artery (8 0%), 3 in distal left anterior descending artery (2 7%), 5 in proximal left circumflex artery (4 4%), 6 in middle left circumflex artery (5 3%), 3 in distal left circumflex artery (2 7%), 9 in proximal right coronary artery (8 0% ), 10 in middle right coronary artery (8 8% ) and 8 in distal right coronary artery (7 1% ). There were 72 patients with coronary collateral. The coefficient of correlation between collateral and coronary chronic total occlusion was 0 707 (P=0 000 ).Conclusions Coronary chronic total occlusion is frequently located in proximal, middle left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery. There is significantly positive correlation between collateral and coronary chronic total occlusion.

Objective To investigate the functional states of stroke patients using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core sets for stroke. Methods Fifty in-patients with stroke participated in this study. Twenty-five patients less than one month after a stroke were assigned to the acute group, and another 25 patients with more than one month since their stroke were assigned to the sub-acute and chronic group. All the patients were assessed using the Glasgow coma scale, Rankin grading and the Barthel index. The ICF core set for stroke assessment was also used with both groups. The data was analyzed by using a Chi squared frequency test. Results Rankin grades and Barthel indices were significantly different between the two groups, and the functional states in the acute group were better than those in the sub-acute and chronic group. Some of the items, such as consciousness state, functions of structures adjoining the eyes, hearing, substitutive sound, accessory respiration, temperature regulation and protection function of the skin had no significant difference between the groups. The number of patients suffering from disorders of joint motion, joint stability, muscle endurance and control of voluntary movement was significantly greater in the sub-acute and chronic group than in the acute group. Both groups were influenced to different degrees by most of the environmental factors. Conclusion The ICF core sets correctly indicated joint motion, joint stability, muscle endurance and control of voluntary movement difficulties of stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate the importance of clinical screening and follow up by direct colonoscopy for colorectal cancer at an early and curable stage. Methods There were 2 196 elderly people aged between 60 to 89 years. The clinical screening by direct colonoscopy was performed according to the protocol. 1 740 of 2 196(79.2%) patients were followed up every year. Results Fifty two elderly persons were found to be colorectal cancer patients by colonoscopy, with the detectable rate being 2.4%. Nineteen were diagnosed early stage colorectal cancer, accounting for 36.5% of the detected colorectal cancer. Nine among the followed up cases were detected early colorectal cancer, accounting for 45 0% of the detected colorectal cancer. The resectable rate and the 5 year survival rate was 97 7% and 80 9% for colorectal cancer, respectively. 98 9% of the cecum intubation cases was successful. The incidence of complication for colonoscopy was 0 05%. Conclusions By clincal colonscopy screening and follow up study for colorectal cancer and precancerous changes in the elderly, the patients with adenomatoid polyps were early diagnosed and treated, so it raised the detectable rate of early colorectal cancer and the level of grade prevention of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between the methods of CPAP pressure titration (under whole night PSG or by auto-set) and CPAP compliance. METHODS Forty-five patients with serious OSAHS who had been diagnosed in our sleep lab between 2001 and 2004 and were willing to try CPAP treatment were enrolled. They were divided into A and B group according to their wills: pressure titration under whole night PSG in lab (group A) or by auto-set in their families (group B). After pressure titration, patients and their families were educated for the knowledge of CPAP treatment in OSAHS patients. Questionnaires about QOL before CPAP treatment and half year later were carried out on the phone. The decreased score was used to evaluate the effect of CPAP treatment. The hours of per day using machine were used to evaluate the compliance of CPAP. RESULTS Group A and group B got the similar decreased score (14 VS 14.3) , compliance (4.91h VS 4.97h) and adherence (85.7 % VS 88 %) . CONCLUSION OSAHS patients under go pressure titration either in lab with PSG or in their home with auto-set have the same effect and same compliance of CPAP treatment. That means the simple auto-titration can substitute the traditional titration under whole night in lab.
