Objective To analyze the relationship between daytime sleepiness and oxygen desaturation in the male eldcrly with obstructive sleep apnea /hyponea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods 147 male elderly (aged 60-80 years) with OSAHS in our sleep laboratory from March 2008 to February 2011 were divided into daytime sleepiness and daytime non-sleepiness groups. Epworth sleeping scale (ESS) and polysomnography (PSG) were employed to detect the degree of sleepiness.Oxygen desaturation were evaluated by oxygen desaturation index (ODI),average and minimum blood oxygen,time percentage of 90％ oxygen desaturation (CT90). Resulls There were significant differences between the two groups in body mass index (BMI) (t=4.157),ODI (t=-10.063),average (t=5.800) and minimum (U=916) blood oxygen,CT90(U=887)and apnca/hypopneaindex (AHI) (t =-11.361) (all P＜0.001).ESS scores were related with desaturation parameters of ODI,average and minimum blood oxygen and CT90 (r=0.683,-0.450,-0.583,0.507,all P＜0.001).ODI was correlated with average and minimum blood oxygen and CT00 (r=-0.628,-0.763,0.689,all P＜0.001).Among parameters of oxygen desaturation,only ODI had influence on ESS scores (odds ratio=1.11,95％CI:1.07 1.15),The sensitivity and specificity predicting daytime sleepiness at ODI ≥23 times/h were about 79.2％ and 84.3％,respectively.Conclusions Daytime sleepiness is associated with oxygen desaturaion and may be predicted by ODI through which average and minimum blood oxygen and CT00 are related with daytime sleepiness in the male elderly with OSAHS.

Zebrafish was selected as model animal, and glucocorticoid dexamethasone was used as a model compound to establish a rapid and high efficient osteopenia model. Zebrafish larvae at 4 days post fertilization (dpf) were exposed to a serial concentrations of dexamethasone solutions, and 0.5% DMSO was selected as the vehicle control group. All groups were incubated in 24-well plates (28.5 degrees C) until 9 dpf. In addition, effects of 10 micromol x L(-1) dexamethasone on preventing against osteopenia induced by etidronate disodium were also investigated. Zebrafish bones at 9 dpf were stained with alizarin red. Quantitative analysis of the stained area was performed by microscopic inspection and digital imaging methods to reflect the amount of bone mineralization. Results showed that dexamethasone group at 2.5, 10 and 25 micromol x L(-1) can decrease the staining area and the staining optical density values of zebrafish head bones when compared with the vehicle control group (0.5% DMSO), which suggested that dexamethasone can significantly reduce the zebrafish mineralized bone and the bone mineral density. Results also showed that 15 and 30 microg x mL(-1) etidronate disodium can increase the mineralized matrix of zebrafish head bone and prevent against osteopenia induced by dexamethasone. In conclusion, the study indicated that zebrafish can be an idea osteopenia model induced by dexamethasone.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with tuina for chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). Methods:A total of 97 CTTH cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=52) and a control group (n=45). Patients in the observation group were treated with EA plus tuina based on pattern identification, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral amitriptyline and oryzanol. Patients in both groups were treated for 8 weeks. A follow-up was conducted 3 months after the treatment. The intensity, duration, and frequency of the headache were recorded and compared before and after the treatment. Additionally, the patients' psychological state and quality of life (QOL) were compared between the two groups. Results:There were intra-group statistically significant differences in headache intensity score, headache duration, and headache frequency after the treatment and during the follow-up compared with those before the treatment (allP<0.05); and there were between-group statistically significant differences during the same time frame (allP<0.05). The Hamilton depression scale-17 items (HAMD-17) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) scores were significantly reduced in both groups after the treatment or during the follow-up (allP<0.01); and there were no between-group statistical significances during the same time frame (allP>0.05). The World Health Organization quality of life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) scores were significantly reduced in both groups after the treatment or during the follow-up (allP<0.05); and the scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (allP<0.05) during the same time frame. The total effective rate was 88.0% in the observation group, versus 71.4% in the control group, showing a significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion:EA combined with tuina can significantly decrease the frequency of chronic tension-type headache, alleviate headache intensity, shorten headache duration, and improve the patients' wellness. It is better than amitriptyline plus oryzanol.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of metastatic hepatic carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 87 patients with metastasis hepatic carcinoma who received radiofrequency ablation (RFA) at the Southwest Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 87 patients,34 were with liver metastasis from colonic cancer,33 with liver metastasis from rectal cancer,12 with liver metastasis from pancreatic cancer,and 8 with liver metastasis from gastric cancer.The survival of the patients was analyzed by life score and kamofsky performance status (KPS)scale.Patients were followed up via phone call and out-patient examination.Ultrasonography,computed tomography,liver function and tumor markers test were done every month within postoperative 6 months,and every 2 months at 6 months later.The follow-up was ended in Novermber 2013.All data were analyzed using chi-square test or rank sum test.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate was compared using the Log-rank test.Results Of the 87 patients,84 were successfully treated by RFA,and 3 patients gave up RFA because of unbearable pain (2 patients with colonic cancer and 1 with gastric cancer).A total of 129 metastatic lesions were detected in the 84 patients,and 107 metastatic lesions were ablated after single RFA,with the success rate of 82.95％ (107/129).The other 22 lesions were ablated after a second RFA.The mean duration of hospital stay was (10.7 ± 2.3) days (range,4-29 days).Before operation,the life quality was excellent in 60.7％ (51/84) of patients,good in 22.6％ (19/84) of patients,fair in 10.7％ (9/84) of patients,and poor in 6.0％ (5/84) of patients.The candition of 63.1％ (53/84) of patients was improved,29.8％ (25/84) of patients was stable,and 7.1％ (6/84) of patients was deteriorated.At postoperative month 6,the life quality was excellent in 78.2％ (54/69) of patients,good in 11.6％ (8/69) of patients,fair in 5.8％ (4/69) of patients,and poor in 4.4％ (3/69) of patients.The condition of 73.9％ (51/69) of patients was improved,21.7％ (15/69) of patients was stable,and 4.4％ (3/69) of patients was deteriorated.There were significant differences in the life score and KPS scale between patients before and after operation (x2 =29.760,17.140,P ＜ 0.05).All patients were followed up for 6-60 months.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of patients with liver metastasis from colonic cancer after RFA treatment were 68.8％,21.9％ and 6.3％,and the median survival time was 21.5 months.The 1,3,5-year survival rates of patients with liver metastasis from rectal cancer after RFA were 66.7％,27.3％,12.1％,and the median survival time was 19.5 months.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of patients with liver metastasis from pancreatic cancer after RFA treatment were 41.7％,0 and 0,and the median survival time was 8.5 months.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer after RFA treatment were 71.4％,14.3％ and 0,and the median survival time was 16.5 months.The survival rates of patients with liver metastasis from pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer were significantly lower than those with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer after RFA (x2 =9.169,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of RFA for selected patients with liver metastasis from digestive tract tumors is satisfactory.

Objective To explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in obese middle-aged and older men. Methods We selectively recruited 154 obese middle-aged and older men matched for body mass index (BMI) and age. The polysomnography was performed for diagnosing OSAHS and for discriminating disease severity. The BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma glucose and lipid profiles were measured and analyzed in all subjects. Appropriate statistical methods were used to compare the components of MS in each group. Logistic regression was taken to elucidate the relationship between OSAHS and MS. Results Compared to control group, severe OSAHS group had significantly lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol level [( 1.03 ± 0.29 ) mmol/L vs. ( 1.31 ± 0. 38) mmol/L,P＜0. 05] and higher fasting glucose [(6.61±1.76) mmol/L vs. (5.47±0.64) mmol/L, P＜0. 05]as well as higher systolic blood pressure [( 133 ± 13) mm Hg vs. ( 125 ± 12) mm Hg, P＜0. 05] and diastolic blood pressure [(99±10) mm Hg vs. (80±5) mm Hg, P＜0. 05]. The prevalence of MS was significantly higher in OSAHS group than in control group (mild OSAHS group: 25.7%,moderate OSAHS group: 46. 5%, severe OSAHS group: 84.4%, control group: 16. 1 %, all P＜0. 01). OSAHS was independently associated with an increased prevalence of MS Odds ratio, 6.16).Conclusions OSAHS is independently associated with MS in obese middle-aged and older men.

Objective To explore the effects of different intrauterine adhesion (IUA) classification systems on predicting the IUA prognosis.Methods One hundred cases were selected as the subjects in present study from those diagnosed with IUA and underwent surgery in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from Jan.2010 to Jan.2017,and were followed up for two years.According to the actual situation,all patients were scored by March,AFS,ESGE and Chinese classification for comparing the effects of different IUA classification systems on predicting the pregnancy rate,live birth rate and effective rate within 2 years after surgery.Results ESGE classification had a good effect on predicting the postoperative live birth rate and effective rate,and a certain predictive effect on pregnant rate,with the area under curve (AUC) of 0.722,0.754 and 0.635,respectively.March classification had a certain effect on predicting the postoperative live birth rate and effective rate with AUC of 0.635,0.754,respectively,but had a poor effect on predicting pregnant rate.AFS classification and China classification had poor effect on predicting the IUA prognosis.Conclusion ESGE classification system is better than the other systems including March,AFS and Chinese classification,on predicting the IUA prognosis,but further verification in large sample size is still required.
