Objective To increase the appreciation of manifestations in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and to decrease misdiagnosis rate by investigating the clinical characteristics of AIP. Methods Clinical data were collected and laboratory ,imaging and histopathology were analyzed from the Chinese PLA General Hospital from 1995 to 2009. Patients with AIP were included in the study. Results Eight patients (male 6, female 2) aged 35-69 (52.4 ±9.4) years were diagnosed as AIP from 2006 to 2009. The main clinical manifestations include intermittent jaundice in 6 cases (6/8), abdominal pain in 5 cases (5/8),weight loss in 4 cases (4/8), and accompanied with other diseases of immune system in 4 cases (4/8).The imaging showed head of pancreas enlargement in 3 cases (3/8) and whole pancreas enlargement in 5 cases (5/8). There is a "banana-peel like" ring around the pancreas and irregular stenosis of pancreatic duct. Massive lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltration and parenchymal fibrosis were shown in pancreatic tissues, bile duct,salivary gland and liver in pathology. Clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and images in 7 cases (7/8) were improved after treatment with prednisone. Twenty-two of them were misdiagnosed as pancreatic or biliary carcinoma and 21 were performed laparotomy in the period of 1995-2005 ( 23 cases). After 2006, however, the misdiagnosis rate significantly decreased from 95.7% ( 22/23 ) to 0. Conclusions AIP seems to be a systemic autoimmune disease rather than an isolated disorder,markedly overlapping with other autoimmune diseases. Definitive diagnosis can be improved by the detection of immune parameters and pathological examination.

Objective To assess the clinical value of taken out embryo by hysteroscopy in treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy. Methods 20 cases of caesarean scar pregnancy from May 2014 to April 2015 were treated with hysteroscopy. Results All the 20 cases were treated by hysteroscopy successfully, none of them suffered from conver-sion to laparotomy, perforation of uterus and heavy vaginal bleeding. Conclusions The operation of taken out embryo by hysteroscopy is effective operation in treating caesarean scar pregnancy with mini-trauma, few distress, and less cost.

0.05). Conclusion Both CD54 and LRP expression have negative correlation with the effective rate of short-term therapeutic effects, therefore can be taken as indexes for prognostic evaluation for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of levofloxacin combined with cefoperazone-sulbactam on pulmonary infection caused by multidrug-resistant(MDR) bacillus infection.METHODS Eighty five patients with pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,combined levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam were used in 45 patients of treatment group,ceftriaxone sodium was used in 40 patients of control group,their therapeutic effect was observed 7 days later.RESULTS Thirty four patients of treatment group were cured,7 patients with excellence,3 patients with improvement and only 1 patient was invalid.The total effective rate was 91%.Clinical manifestation such as cough,expectoration,and dyspnea had obviously improved.Sputum culture darkening rate was high.CONCLUSIONS Combined therapy of levofloxacin and cefoperazone-sulbactam has definite therapeutic effect on pulmonary infection caused by MDR bacillus infection.

Objective To investigate the adjunctive therapeutic effect of recombination growth hormone(rhGH) on the elderly patients with pulmonary infection.Methods 53 elderly patients with pulmonary infection were randomly divided into rhGH group(n=25) and control group(n=28).The rhGH group were received hypodermic introl group were received standard therapy.Clinical efficacy were compared between two groups.The level of albumin (ALB),growth hormone (GH),insulin-llke growth factor-1 (IGF-1),leptin (LP) were measured and the body mass index(BMI) was observed in all cases before and after treatment.Results The overall efficacy of rhGH group and control group was 88.0% versus 60.7%.The results showed significant statistical difference between both groups(P＜0.05).After treating with rhGH for 10 days,the level of BMI,ALB,GH,IGF-1 and LP were increased in the rhGH group,which were(26.1±4.1)kg/m2;(38.4 ±6.6)g/L;(7.0 +0.9) μg/L;(27.3 ±6.1)μg/L;(6.9 ± 1.1)μg/Lrespectively.And the level of BMI,ALB,GH,IGF-1 and LP were (21.8 ± 3.4 ) kg/m2 ;( 29.5 ± 5.1 ) g/L;( 4.0 ±0.4) μg/L;( 22.0±3.8 )μg/L;( 3.8±0.8 )μg/L in the control group after treatment.The results showed significant statistical difference between both groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was obvious adjunctive therapeutic effect of rhGH to the elderly patients with pulmonary infection by improving the nutritional state of these patients.

Objective To observe the changes of disease course and the prognosis of visual acuity of Chinese patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Methods Visual acuity and fundus photochromes of 20 eyes of 15 consecutive patients with PCV were followed up with a mean of 19.1 months (range from 2 to 64 months), in which the fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) of 14 eyes of 10 patients were followed up with a mean of 21.0 (range from 3 to 53) months. Results Among the 20 eyes, the visual acuity was more than 0.3 in 5 eyes (25.0%), between 0.1 and 0.2 in 6 (30 0%) and less than 0.1 in 9 (45.0%). During the follow-up, the visual acuity was improved in 2 (10.0%), stable in 10 (50.0%) and regressed in 8 (40.0%). Only 1 eye (5.0%) developed to macula scar. The result of ICGA revealed the polypoidal lesions that were unchanged in 4 eyes(28.6%), regressed in 2 (14.3%), grew in 6 (42.7%), repeatedly grew and spontaneously regressed in 6 (42.7%). Conclusions There is a large variation in the visual prognosis in Chinese patients with PCV. The polypoidal lesions can repeatedly grow and spontaneously regress in the natural course.

Objective:To understand the effect and existing problems of teaching reform about primary health care demands in local medical universities and colleges.Methods:With sampling survey method,150 students from Xi'an Medical College were investigated using questionnaires.Results:Totally 93.1％ of the freshmen approved of setting up the courses,72.6％ of the students thought that nursing ethics and skills were equally important,43.2％ of the students thought learning this course made themselves have a new understanding of nursing ethics.Totally 84.2％ of the students were satisfied with the teacher's teaching process,while 69％ of the students were not satisfied with the existing teaching materials.Conclusion:The teaching method oriented by practical problems and the teachers' own efforts are prerequisites for students' acceptance of this course.Content setting based on post needs is an important link of nursing ethics teaching effect.Setting up sustainable teaching time is the basis of the teaching effect.High quality teaching materials are necessary conditions to achieve the teaching orderly.

Objective To explore the application of hysteroscopy in assisted reproduction. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on results of routine hysteroscopy in 150 cases of infertile women scheduled for assisted reproduction.Results Among the 150 cases,abnormal hysteroscopic findings were identified in 47 cases(31%),including endometrial polyps in 18 cases(12%),endometrial hyperplasia in 17 cases(11%),uterine deformity in 7 cases(5%),uterine adhesion and stenosis in 3 cases(2%),endometrial tuberculosis in 1 case(0.7%),and submucous myoma or adenomyoma in 1 case(0.7%).To think of hysteroscopic findings as the standard,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predicted rate,negative predicted rate,and accuracy were 66%(31/47),98%(101/103),94%(31/33),86%(101/117),and 88%(132/150) for transvaginal ultrasonography,respectively,and were 26%(12/47),100%(95/95),100%(12/12),73%(95/130),and 75%(107/142) for uterophotography,respectively.Conclusions Hysteroscopy is a simple and reliable way to explore the uterine cavity.It may be selected as a routine examination before assisted reproduction.
