Objective To evaluate prognostic value of electroencephalogram (EEG) in neonatal with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods Sixty two infants with HIE was studied by doing physical examination, intelligence test, CT and EEG. Their clinical outcome was compared to their EEG in the first month after birth. Results Incidence of sequelae in normal or mild abnormal EEG and severe abnormal EEG were 3%, 29%, respectively. Among three infants of EEG cases, two dead and one developed cerebral palsy infant. Among four of burst suppression found in the EEGs, two cases dead, one developed cerebral palsy, one was normal. In five of hypoactive EEG, one dead, one developed cerebral palsy, and the other was with low IQ. Conlusion The prognosis is related to the background activity of EEG. The presence of a burst suppression EEG pattern and a hypoactive/flat EEG are negative prognostic criteria.

Objective:To analyse the clinical characteristics and to study the effects of thalidomide combined with tripterygium glycosides in the treatment of Behcet disease.Methods:50 cases of Behcet disease were analysed retrospectively.26 of them were treated by thalidomide at 35 mg combined with tripterygium glycosides at 10 mg 3 times a day.24 cases were treated by levamisole at 50 mg 3 times a day with 3-day-treatment and 11-day-interval.All the patients were treated for 2 months.Results:Middle-aged male patients with chronic onset were common,oral ulcer was the first common symptom.The disease could damage all organs,however the oral mucosa,skin,oculus,genitalia and joint were commonly involved.Reaction of needle puncture was highly specific in the diagnosis.The effective ratio of treatment was observed in 92% of the patients treated by the combination of thalidomide with tripterygium glycosides and in 67% of those by levamisole.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of Behcet disease are complex,its diagnosis mainly depends on symptoms and signs,reaction of needle puncture is helpful in diagnosis.Thalidomide combined with tripterygium glycosides is effective in the treatment of the disease.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of UK manual moving & handling skills in the training of preventing occupational lower back pain among nursing professionals,and explore effective ways of training on preventing occupational lower back pain to nursing professionals.Methods 86 nursing students,94 nurses with 12 months' work experience,and 88 nurses with work experience over 5 years were randomized selected,and they each were divided into the experimental group and the control group.For 86 nursing students,43 students in each group; For 94 nurses with 12 months' work experience,47 nurses in each group; For 88 nurses with work experience over 5 years,44 nurses in each group.A routine taught training was given to both groups,while the experimental group received an extra 25 academic hours' structured OLBP prevention training.Comprehensive proposition was used to assess theoretic learning outcome of all participants,and practical skills of all participants were tested through institutional cases.Ressults There was significant statistical difference between scores of participants from two groups,and the scores of the experimental group in nurses with 12 months' work experience were different from the experimental groups of nursing students and nurses with work experience over 5 years.Conclusions Structured OLBP prevention training should lead occupational health prevention and health promotion concepts,apply numerous teaching approaches,emphasize the content of maintaining physical and psychiatric health and occupational protection management,set new-enrolled nurses as the main focused group of training.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of volt-ampere characteristics of Yuan-Primary acupoints in women before, during and after menstruation, and to find out the relationships between Qi-blood in human body and volt-ampere characteristics of acupoints, so as to develop a new method for quantitative analysis on changes of Qi-blood. METHODS: A high-sensitive detection system of volt-ampere characteristics of acupoint was applied to detecting the volt-ampere characteristics of Taiyuan (LU 9), Daling (PC 7) and Shenmen (HT 7) in healthy women before, during and after menstruation. RESULTS: The resistances on LU 9, PC 7 and HT 7 with some certain scan currents were quite different among the women before, during and after menstruation. For such changes, PC 7 was of the most obvious change, LU 9 was of the less and HT 7 was of the least. The total ratio of the scanning spots with significantly increasing changes of resistances on these three acupoints along with the menstrual process was 70.6%. CONCLUSION: The volt-ampere characteristics of acupoints vary with the menstrual process, which is of the acupoint specificity. The resistances on the acupoints increase with the menstrual process, and such results may be due to the blood loss during menstruation. The volt-ampere characteristics can be used as a quantitative index to study on the change of Qi and blood.

[Summary] According to the cutpoint of plasma triglycerides concentration ≥ 1.7 mmol/L,waist circumference ≥85 cm in men or ≥80 cm in women,459 patiens with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into four groups:normal waist circumference and triglycerides,normal waist circumference and hypertriglyceridemia,abdominal obesity and normal triglycerides,and hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTWC) group.The results showed that body mass index,waist circumference,systolic blood pressure,triglycerides,microalbuminuria,and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in HTWC group were higher than those in non-HTWC groups (all P＜0.01),as well as higher diabetic nephropathy incidence (P＜0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that HTWC was an independent risk factor of diabetic nephropathy (OR =2.070,95 ％ CI 1.195-3.586).
