Objective To analyse the clinical practicability and significance of fertility-sparing surgery for women with recurrent borderline ovarian tumors ( BOT).Methods The clinical and pathological recordings of 12 patients suffered from recurrent BOT in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from Jan.2002 to Dec.2012 were analyzed retrospectively.The menstruation situation , fertility function , recurrence rate and survival after second conservative surgery were collected and analyzed .Results The average onset age of these 12 patients was 26 years, and none of them had procreation before the second operation.The pathological diagnosis were still BOT and the recurrent sites of 10 patients were still restricted to the ovaries.Of the 12 cases, 8 cases of them had normal menstruation functions and 4 cases had less menstrual volumes or longer menstrual periods.Among 6 cases desired for pregnancy after the second operation,4 cases of them were successful.The spontaneous pregnancy rate was 4/6.The mean duration of follow-up was 53 months(range:23-97 months).All recurrent BOT, three cases developed recurrence once more,two cases of them were just be hinted by B ultrasounds and only one cases was approved to be BOT again by a once more surgical pathology.But no disease related deaths occurred.Conclusions The second fertility-sparing surgery may be feasible for women with recurrent BOT who are young and strongly desired for preservation of fertility.The spontaneous pregnancy rate is satisfactory.However, carefully follow-up is still needed.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of clinical pharmacist intervention on prophylactic application of antibiotics in cardiothoracic surgery. METHODS:Medical records of patients underwent cardiothoracic surgery were collected from our hospi-tal during Mar. to Apr. in 2014 (before intervention) and during Jun. to Jul. in 2014 (after intervention). Those were divided into pre-intervention group(n=115)and post-intervention group(n=119). The prophylactic application effect of antibiotics was com-pared before and after intervention. RESULTS:After intervention,the rates of prophylactic application were decreased significantly from 96.5% to 72.3%;the rationality rate of antibiotics selection was improved significantly from 27.9% to 94.2%;The course of prophylactic medication decreased significantly from(5.4±2.8)days to(2.3±1.8)days;the difference had statistical significance before and after intervention(P<0.01). The postoperative infection rate was decreased from 13.0% to 5.9%,the difference had no statistical significance(P=0.074). The average hospitalization time,average drug costs,and average hospitalization expenses were decreased significantly,the difference had statistical significance(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacist inter-vention to prophylactic application of antibiotics in cardiothoracic surgery can control the infection effective and guarantee reason-able and safe use of drugs during perioperative period.

Objective To observe effects of aqueous extractive of Clarke boea herb on mice with gastric ulcer, and provide basis for clinical application.Methods Gastric ulcer model was induced by reserpine. The mice were divided into normal group, model group, ranitidine group, low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups. Mice in treatment groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and control group were given the same amount of saline for 4 weeks. The area of gastric ulcer, serum proinflammatory cytokines gastric juice volume, gastric juice acidity, iNOS and COX-2 gene expressions were detected.Results Compared with control group, the gastric ulcer area in low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups decreased significantly. Clarke boea herb increased the SS and VIP, decreased the MOT and SP serum levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb reduced the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines of IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ(P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb also decreased the genetic expressions of iNOS and COX-2 (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionClarke boea herb has good gastric ulcer preventive effects, and the high dose of Clarke boea herb group showed the best efficiency.

0bjective To analyze the factors related tO the changes of liver pathology in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods Two hundred and eighty-eight HBeAg negative CHB patients were enrolled.Bivariate Pearson correlation was employed to analyze the correlation of different age,gender,alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level,the immunohistochemistry results of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) in liver tissue with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level,changes of liver pathology.Results The inflammation grades and fibrosis stages of livertissuesinmale were 1.72±1.23 and 1.71±1.24,respectively;1.25±1.39 and 1.21±1.40 in female,respectively,which were significantly different (t=2.398,t-2.551;both P40 years old were all significantly higher than those<40 years old(t一2.060,t一2.536,t=2.808;all P<0.05).In patients with normal ALT levels,75 cases (52.03%) showed HBV DNA level≤1×103 copy/mL,56(38.89%) showed≥G2 of liver tissues; the ALT level and inflammation grade of liver tissues was significantly correlated(r:O.244,P-O.004).In patients with elevated ALT 1evels,42 cases (31.57%) showed HBV DNA level≤1×10s copy/mL,89 (66.92%) showed≥G2 of liver tissues; the ALT level and inflammation grade of liver tissues was not significantly correlated (r=0.007,P=0.939) .The inflammation/fibrosis of liver tissues,HBV DNA levels in patients with both HBsAg and HBcAg positive in liver tissues were significantly higher than those in other patients (P

Objective To explore the variation tendency of serum thyroid hormone level in the elderly aged over 80 years.Methods The 602 healthy volunteers were divided into 3 groups by age:young group (20-59 years of age,n= 226),elderly group (60-79 years of age,n= 195),and advanced age group (80-102 years of age,n=181).Fasting blood of all persons was harvested,then the levels of serum total triiodothyroxine (TT3),total thyroxine (TT4),free tri-iodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and reverse tri-iodothyronine (rT3) were determined by chemistry luminescence technique and radioimmunoassay.Statistical analysis was made by the software SPSS 13.0.Results The levels of serum FT3 and TT3 were lower in elderly group than in young group (t=2.793,3.627,P=0.005,0.000).There were significant differences in the levels of serum TT3,TT4,FT3,TSH and rT3 between young group and advanced-age group (t =10.930,6.065,15.398,- 2.933,- 5.643,all P = 0.000),also between elderly group and advanced-age group (t= 8.382,4.298,11.573,-3.383,-5.148,all P＜0.001).The levels of serum FT3,TT3 and TT4 were negatively correlated with age (r=- 0.51,-0.39 and -0.25,respectively,all P＜0.01).And the levels of serum rT3 and TSH showed positive relationships with age (r=0.32,0.12,all P＜0.01).There were no relationships between the level of serum FT4 and age.The positive rate of serum TT3,TT4,FT3,FT4,TSH and rT3 concentration beyond the reference value was 0,0,13.8%,0,6.6% and 21% in advanced-age group,respectively.Conclusions The levels of serum thyroid hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone change with age.The levels of FT3,rT3 and TSH change obviously in the elderly aged over 80 years.It could reduce the false positive rate in clinical practice if normal reference range for serum thyroid hormone levels in different aged elderly is established.

Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.
