Objective To evaluate Test-retest reliability of Mandarin monosyllable lists with equivalency in audibility in hearing loss group. Methods Mandarin monosyllable lists were used to test 18 adults with moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss. Each people was tested twice with an interval of several days and with same test conditions including same lists order, same presentation level, and same tester. List number to begin with was different between people. All test lists for one patient were presented by 30 dB above his hearing threshold levels. Recognition scores were recorded in both tests. The results were analyzed using SPSS. Results Pearson product-moment correlation between the scores of two tests was 0. 931 (P<0. 001). The average critical difference was 16.3 % at the 95 % confidence level after the scores transformed into "rationalized" arcsine unit (RAU). Conclusion The average critical difference is 16. 3% at the 95% confidence level which is less than in the normal hearing group. All the lists have good test-retest reliability, and can be used in extensive clinical practice.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics,management and pregnancy outcome in patients with ovarian tumor and ovarian tumor like condition complicated with pregnancy.Methods The clinical data of 248 patients with ovarian tumor and ovarian tumor like condition eomplicated with pregnancy who treated,operated and pathology conducted from January 2003 to December 2009 was analyzed retrospectively.Results Among of 248 patients,8 patients were found by pelrioscopy,184 patients were found by sonography.The rate of ovarian tumor and ovarian tumor like condition during pregnancy was 0.49％ (248/50 652),about 52.82％(131/248)were diagnosed as benign tumor,most of them were ovarian mature teratoma(22.18％,55/248).About 45.56％(113/248)were diagnosed as ovarian tumor like condition,most of them were ovarian chocolatecyst(23.79％,59/248).Four patients(1.61％,4/248)were ovarian malignant tumor.Two hundred and sixteen received operation,term birth was in 164 patients,premature birth was in 19 patients,miscarriage was in 33 patients.Conclusions Pelvioscopy and sonogaraphy are principally important in the diagnosis and detection of ovarian tumor during pregnancy.Pregnancy complicated with ovarian tumor or ovarian tumor like condition should be treated by tumor resection.Suitable surgery intervention during second trimester is safe.

AIM:To investigate the differentiation-inducing effects of baicalin on HL-60 leukemia cells.METHODS:The effect of baicalin on differential induction in AML cell line HL-60 was evaluated by cellular morphology,clone formation assay,CD11b and CD33 expression and NBT assay.RESULTS:Baicalin inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells.It enhanced the expression of CD11b on HL-60 cells,also increased the expression of CD33.HL-60 cells showed differentiation morphology after the drug treatment examined by Wright-Gimesa staining and NBT assay.CONCLUSION:Baicalin possessed differentiation-inducing effects on HL-60 cells.

Objective Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) may play a role in kidney stone formation.The article aimed to conduct a preliminary study on the role of THP in kidney stone formation by investigating the changes of THP in rat urine, pathological changes of renal tissue and the formation of calcium salt crystals after establishing CNPs rat model of kidney stones.Methods Stone samples of 40 patients from February to June 2015 in our department were collected to establish the model of CNPs-induced kidney stone in rats and prepare CNPs suspension.48 SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group (group A) and blank control group (group B).Group A were injected with CNPs and the same amount of sterile saline injection in the group B.The urine of rats was collected after injection at 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 1w, 2w, 4w and 8w.ELISA were applied to detect THP levels in the urine.Then the rats were killed to take the kidney tissue.HE staining was used to investigate the pathological changes of the cells and evaluate the formation of the calcium salt crystals.Results THP levels in group A at 24h, 1w, 2w, 4w and 8w ([166.03±3.02], [173.50±1.78], [174.55±2.05], [176.54±2.45], [177.11±1.76]pg/mL) were significantly higher than that at 3h(165.89±2.23pg/mL)(P<0.05), which was the same case in comparison with those of group B ([157.65±2.22], [156.54±1.43], [159.45±3.21], [158.63±2.98], [157.33±2.05]pg/mL).Compared with the calcium salt crystal score at 6h (1 point), the scores at 3,6,12,24h (average score 2 points) increased.At 2w the score increased significantly to 3 points and reached the top score(6.7points) at 8w, which was of significant difference.The score of calcium salt crystals was in positive correlation with THP content (r=0.843,P<0.05).Conclusion THP in urine may contribute to the aggregation of calcium salt crystals and the formation of kidney stones.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between degree of abnormal deeper lateral femoral notch between anterior cruciate ligament tear.

METHODSThe radiograph and MRI image material of 16 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury from January 2013 to November 2013 were reviewed including 14 males and 2 females with an average age of 28.3 years old ranging from 18 to 52 years. Eleven cases was on right side and 5 on left. Survey tool of PASC imaging system was used to measure the depth of lateral femoral notch in patients with abnormal indicated by lateral X-ray view or sagittal view of MRI in knee joint,while clinical data,physical examination,image material in arthroscopy of these patients were retrospective researched.

RESULTSFour patients had an abnormal lateral femoral notch with the depth of 2 mm on lateral X-ray and sagittal MRI, while positive anterior drawer sign and Lachman test as well as anterior cruciate ligament tears on MRI, and completed tears were comfirmed on the operation of arthroscopy. Two patients without abnomal lateral femoral notch on lateral view of X-ray while with the depth of 1 mm on sagittal view of MRI were also coupled with positive anterior drawer sign and Lachman test as well as anterior cruciate ligament tears on MRI, and one of them were comfirmed completed anterior cruciate ligament tears on the arthroscopy operation and completed tear could not comfirmed on another one because of disagreed with arthroscopy operation.

CONCLUSIONThere appears to be an association between abnormal lateral femoral notch on lateral view of knee with anterior cruciate ligament tears. An abnormal deeper lateral femoral notch is an indirect evidence for anterior cruciate ligament tears.
