While in the group B, the positive rate of with PCR method was 8 91%(18/184), which was higher than that in culture medium 2 48%(5/197),P0 05. Total 96%(48/50) of cases from the double positive group revert to culture negative, only 36%(18/50) of cases were cured, while 60%(30/50) ones just get to the single positive group in PCR method.⑷After ceasing antibiotics for at least one month, those who have not been cured revisit again, 13 33%(4/30) of single positive cases with PCR method was reverted to double positive with PCR,culture medium methods.Conclusion CT infection in female genital system,positive determinable rate of PCR method is higher than that of culture medium method.

Objective: To explore the relationship between strain rate parameter and left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE).
Methods: A total of 70 heart failure (HF) patients with CRT were studied. The early left ventricular diastolic strain rate was obtained by 2D-STE technology, the differences of left ventricular diastolic functional parameters to various CRT echocardiographic responses were observed. The area of relevant parameters under ROC curve was calculated by early left ventricular diastolic strain rate for predicting CRT echocardiographic response.
Results: There were 41 patients presented as CRT echocardiographic responders at 12 months of follow-up period, 29 patients were non-responders. The most parameters of LVDF were signiifcantly improved than the base line in 41 responders. The maximum area of 2D-STE derived parameters under ROC curve was obtained by LSRE predicted CRT echocardiographic response
Conclusion: LSRE had greater value for predicting CRT echocardiographic response, it might be used as a sensitive index for evaluating LVDF in HF patients.

Method The immunodepressive mice model was established with cyclophosphamide (CY) treated. EOP was given with different doses, and mouse weight, thymus index, spleen index, abdominal cavity macrophage engulfing rates, engulfing index were measured. Result 300 grams Eucommia ulmoides Oliv crude drugs after withdraw separate gained 9.3 grams polysaccharides. After CY injection, the mouse weight, chest gland index, abdominal cavity macrophage swallowing rate, phagocytic count reduced. EOP could resist the mouse body weight drop induced by CY, elevate the thymus index of immunity low mouse, obviously increase mouse abdominal cavity macrophage engulfing rates and engulfing index (P

Objective To explore the utility of videofluoroscopy in observing swallowing dysfunction after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Videoflouroscopic studies of swallowing (VFSSs) were performed on 40 patients with severe TBI as well as 40 healthy matched controls.Information about penetration and aspiration was collected,and oral delay time (ODT),oral transit time (OTT),pharyngeal delay time (PDT),pharyngeal transit time (PTT) and the maximum vertical and anterior movement of hyoid bone were measured. Results Seventeen of the healthy controls (42.5％) displayed mild penetration,though none had severe penetration or aspiration.Among the severe TBI patients,5 ( 12.5％ ) displayed mild penetration,12 (30.0％) showed severe penetration and 17 (42.5％) subjects had aspiration.The 3ml liquid swallowing parameters of the severe TBI group were ODT ( 0.86 ± 0.37) s,OTT (0.73 ± 0.28 ) s,PDT ( 0.50 ± 0.35 ) s and PTT(0.61 ± 0.11 ) s.The maximum vertical hyoid bone movement in this group averaged (0.98 ± 0.38) cm,and maximum anterior movement was (0.37 ±0.37) cm.The healthy controls and severe TBI patients showed significant differences in terms of all six measures.Conclusion Dysphagia was found to be frequent among severe TBI patients,commonly occurring in the oral and pharyngeal phases.Videoflouroscopy may be helpful for identifying the main features of dysphagia and formulating better rehabilitation strategies.

Objective To investigate the effect of perioperative application of ambroxol in elderly smoking patients undergoing lung cancer operation.Methods 220 long time smoker undergoing pulmonary lobectomy were randomized into two groups:the intervention group (n=112) and the control group (n =108).The intervention group received ambroxol injection 30 mg intravenously,thrice daily from five days before the surgery.The control group was given ambroxol injection 30 mg intravenously,thrice daily from one day after the surgery.The difficulty in expectoration,the nature of the sputum and the duration of antibiotic use were recorded.The postoperative lung complications and the adverse reactions of ambroxol were observed.Results There were significant differences in improvements of expectoration and the nature of the sputum on the third and seventh after operation between the intervention and control groups(x2 =6.77,6.08,8.12,12.61,P=0.034,0.049,0.017,0.002).After the surgery,the duration of antibiotic use was less in the intervention group than in the control group [(5.92 ± 0.72) d vs.(7.04 ± 0.87) d,t =10.33,P=0.000].The incidences of lung infections and atelectasis after the surgery were lower in the intervention group than in the control group [19.6％ (22/112) vs.33.3％ (36/108),6.3％ (7/112) vs.16.7％ (18/108),x2 =5.31,5.92,P=0.021,0.015].In both groups,two patients had mild nausea and vomiting (x2 =0.22,P=1.000).No other common adverse reactions of ambroxol were observed in the two groups.Conclusions Perioperative application of ambroxol can decrease the sputum viscosity,make expectoration easier and reduce the occurrence of postoperative lung complications and the duration of antibiotic use.It is worth wide application in clinical practice.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of vitrectomy with intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) at different injection time for proliferative diabeticretinopathy (PDR).Methods This was a prospective,comparative,and randomized study.Ninety-seven eyes of 97 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to three different treatment groups:30 eyes (30 patients) in the preoperative IVR group,32 eyes (32 patients) in the intraoperative IVR group and 35 eyes (35 patients) in the no IVR injection group.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (F=0.18) and the grading of vitreous hemorrhage (x2 =1.39) before surgery did not differ significantly among the 3 groups,respectively (P ＞ 0.05).All eyes enrolled underwent conventional 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).The preoperative IVR group received intravitreal 0.5 mg/0.05 ml ranibizumab injection 3 to 7 days before PPV,intraoperative IVR group received intravitreal 0.5 mg/0.05 ml ranibizumab injection at the end of PPV and non-drug injection group received PPV only.Postoperative BCVA,fundus color photography,optical coherence tomography examination was performed in all eyes at 1 week and 1,3,6,9,12 months after surgery.Early RVH was defined as RVH occurred within 1 week to 1 month postoperatively;while late RVH was defined as RVH occurred 1 month later after the operation.Results The mean BCVA were all improved among the 3 groups compared with the preoperative vision at 1 month after operation.At the beginning of 3 months after surgery,the average BCVA of the preoperative injection group and the intraoperative injection group tended to stable;while 3 eyes in the non-drug injection group began to decreased.There was no significant difference in average BCVA at 1,3 and 12 months of follow-up periods among the 3 groups (F=1.42,1.17,0.26;P＞0.05).The incidences of early RVH were 16.7％,9.4％,28.6％ in the preoperative injection group,intraoperative injection group,and non-drug injection group,respectively (x2 =5.12,P＜0.05).The incidence of early RVH in the intraoperative injection group reduced compared to preoperative injection group and non-drug injection group (x2 =4.04,4.93;P＜0.05).The incidences of late RVH were 13.3％,9.4％,14.3％ in preoperative injection group,intraoperative injection group,and non-drug injection group,respectively (x2 =0.47,P＞0.05).The average centeral foveal thickness (CFT) decreased among the 3 groups in different degrees at 1 month when compared with that of 1 week after operation and the decreasing was statistically significant (F=59.50,P＜0.05).A subgroup pairwise analysis showed no significant difference of decreasing CFT in preoperative injection group compared with that of intraoperative injection group (t=0.23,P＞0.05).The average CFT of the 3 groups had different degrees of thickening at 3,6,9,12 months after surgery,and the increasingof CFT among the 3 groups were not differ significantly (F=2.92,2.86,3.07,3.12;P＞0.05).Conclusions The adjunctive use of IVR can reduce the incidence of early postoperative RVH in vitrectomy for PDR,decrease in macular thickness and obtain favorable visual recovery.The effect of preoperative IVR injection was slightly better than that of the intraoperative IVR injection.

Objective To study a improved technique by releasing the orbicularis retaining ligament in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Release of the orbicularis retaining ligament could cut off the contact between orbitomalar skin and periosteum at inferior orbital rim, and carry the point of tightening orbitomalar skin in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Methods There were 409 patients with apparent orbitmalar fold. The methods of releasing orbicularis retaining ligament and orbital septum fixation were added to improve the orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Results 409 cases were treated using this method over the past 3 years. All results were satisfactory. No complications were observed. Conclusion This improved method of orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty is useful for orbitomalar skin rolling, especially for orbitmalar fold. The release allows effective redraping and upward mobilization of the orbicularis of the lower lid and the premalar soft tissues. This method is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the correction of tear trough deformity and well-demarcated lid/cheek junction in lower eyelid belpharoplasty. It is one of the best choices for lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
