Objective To observe the effect and safety of modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in the TCM pattern of deficiency of spleen and kidney with phlegm-dampness. Methods Totally 123 cases were recruited into this study and randomized to two groups by central random approach, 64 cases in the observation group and 59 cases in the control group. Patients in the observation group were given the modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula, while those in the control group were given compound cyproterone acetate tablet, for two treatment courses, three months for one course. The changes of ovarian volume and the number of follicles before and after treatment were observed. Adverse reactions were also evaluated. Results Bilateral ovarian volumes in both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the control group showed a significant better improvement (P<0.05). The number of follicles in the two groups decreased, but no significant difference were observed between the two groups (P>0.05). The rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was lower than the control group. Conclusion Modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula is effective for PCOS patient by reducing the ovarian volume with a low incidence of side effect.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of ketamine in preventing postpartum depression in patients undergoing cesarean section.Methods One hundred and twenty ASA physical status Ⅰ patieuts,aged 18-38 yr,with body mass index ＜35 kg/m2,scheduled for elective cesarean section,were equally and randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table:control group (group C) and ketamine group (group K).Postoperative analgesia was performed with sufentanil 100 μg in 100 ml of normal saline,and sufentanil was infused at 2 ml/h (bolus dose 5 μg,lockout interval 15 min) in both groups.In group K,ketamine 4 mg/kg was added to analgesic pump.VAS score was maintained＜3.Before surgery and at 1,3,5 and 42 days after surgery,depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Survey (EPDS),and postpartum depression was defined as EPDS score ≥ 13.Postpartum depression and ketamine-related complications occurred within 3 days after surgery in group K were recorded.Results Compared with group C,EPDS scores were significantly decreased at 1,3 and 5 days after surgery,and the incidence of postpartum depression was decreased in group K.Ketamine-related complications were not found in group K.Conclusion Ketamine (infused starting from the end of operation,lasting for 48 h,total amount 4 mg/kg) for postoperative analgesia can prevent postpartum depression to some extent in patients undergoing cesarean section.

Objective To investigate the application of CUSUM (cumulative sum control chart) curve in cardiac clinical teaching of resident surgeon education.Methods We chose a surgeon of 10years work experience of attending the preparation operation of internal mammary artery as control reference (standard group,28 patients) and a resident engaged in professional clinical cardiac work no more than 5 years as group 1,a professional training physician engaged in cardiac surgery clinical work more than 5 years as group 2 and took 40 patients' data respectively from the two groups' preparation of internal mammary artery operation.And then we recorded the postoperative mammary artery flow,internal mammary artery preparation time and adverse events data and made statistics analysis with SPSS 19.0,and CUSUM curve with Matlab R2012b polynomial curve.Results When the density of operate interval and the operate numbers came to about 25 cases,the polynomial eurve's slope rate went up to 0,regardless the surgeons' experience,CUSUM value was accumulated from 66 to 76,and overcame the learning curve successfully.However,when the density of operate interval did no reach the standard,the surgeon's CUSUM ploynomial cmwe slope rate never reached to 0,and can't overcome the learning curve.Conclusion CUSUM curve gives a clear quantitative indicator to the cultivation of clinical physician,and makes teaching teachers can understand the young physicians' learning process,so as to change the teaching plan,help young physicians cross the learning curve as soon as possible.

Objective To study the effect of abnormal blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm on subtypes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in hypertensive patients .Methods Ninety-seven AIS pa-tients with hypertension were divided into arterothrombosis (AT)group (n=66)and small artery disease (SAD)group (n=31)according to the modified TOAST classification .Their 24 h ambula-tory BP was monitored .The 24 h BP ,daytime and nighttime BP ,morning BP surge and BP circa-dian rhythm were compared between the two groups .Results The nighttime SBP was significant-ly higher in AT group than in SAD group (133 .86 ± 18 .17 mm Hg vs 124 .42 ± 16 .06 mm Hg , P<0 .05) .The absent rate of BP circadian rhythm was higher in AT group than in SAD group (84 .8% vs 64 .5% ,P<0 .05) .However ,no significant difference was found in morning BP surge between the two groups (37 .9% vs 19 .4% ,P>0 .05) .Conclusion Absent BP circadian rhythm and elevated nighttime BP are related with AT type ischemic stroke .

Objective To analyze the CT findings of acute cervical trauma (ACT) and evaluate the value and limitation of CT in the diagnosis of ACT. Methods 78 cases of cervical trauma were examined with X-ray film and thin slice CT. 3D reconstruction was performed routinely. Analysis and comparison of X-ray diagnosis with CT diagnosis were done. Results 60 cases of ACT were diagnosed by X-ray film while 59 cases were confirmed by CT simultaneously. 1 case was diagnosed by X-ray, while its CT findings were normal. Fracture detection rates of CT and X-ray film were 98.3% and 53.3%,respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion If the patient has the acute cervical trauma, CT can diagnose the fracture, luxation and spinal stenosis more safely and precisely. But CT scan has some limitations. Combining X-ray examination with CT scan is able to raise the diagnostic level.

Objective To analyse the CT findings of acute knee joint injury (AKJI) so as to evaluate the value and limitation of CT in the diagnosis of AKJI. Methods Sixty cases of AKJI were examined with X-ray plain film and thin-section of CT scanning, while three-dimensional reconstruction of CT was performed routinely as well. The results of X-ray films and CT scanning were analysed and compared with clinical data and operative findings retrospectively. Results In 60 cases of AKJI, 141 fractures were found on CT examination, however, only 104 fractures were found on X-ray films. The difference of the results between the two diagnostic imagings was statistically significant(?2=38.12, P

5 cm).The survival rates and the diminished rates of tumors in size were analysed comparatively.Results For small hepatocellular carcinoma,the diminished rates of tumor's size were higher in group PEI than that in group TACE and group CST,and higher in group RF than that in group TACE(P0.05).For large hepatocellular carcinoma,the diminished rates of tumor's size were higher in group TACE and group CST than that in group RF(P

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Leukotriene receptor antagonist combined with Gluco-corticoid nasal spray(called“intranasal steroid”for short)in the treatment of different degree of adenoidal hypertrophy(AH)com-plicated with allergic rhinitis (AR). METHODS:240 AR children with AH were randomly divided into control group,intranasal steroid group and drug combination group,with 80 cases in each group. Control group was given physiological seawater,3 presses each nostrile,in the morning and evening. The intranasal steroid group received Momestasone furoate nasal spray,one press each nostrile,qd. Drug combination group was additionally given leukotriene receptor antagonist Montelukast sodium chewable tablet,4 mg for under 5 year-old and 5 mg for 5-year-old or above,qd,at bedtime. Treatment course of 3 groups lasted for 12 weeks. The change of clinical symptoms and signs(such as nasal obstruction,snore,mouth breathing,etc)and adenoid/pharyngeal ratio(A/N ratio)were compared among 3 groups after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR. Each group was divided into two sub-groups (medium and severe) according to the severity of AH so as to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. RESULTS:21 children withdrew from the study,including 11 cases in control group,6 in intranasal steroid group and 4 in drug combination group. After treatment,clinical symptom score and A/N in subgroups of drug combination group and intranasal steroid group were all lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in clinical symptom score and A/N between drug combination group and AR complicated with medium AH subgroup from intranasal steroid group(P>0.05). Clini-cal symptom score and A/N of AR complicated with severe AH subgroup from drug combination group were lower than intranasal steroid group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR occurred in 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Intranasal steroid alone and intranasal steroid combined with leukotriene receptor antagonist can improve clinical symptom of AR patients with AH, and reduce adenoid volume. It is suggested to use intranasal steroid firstly for medium AH complicated with AR,and additionally use Leukotriene receptor antagonist for severe AH complicated with AR.

Objective To examine the effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 6%, 200/0.5) on reticuloendothelial system (RES) function in hemorrhagic shock. Methods Thirty 8 to 12-week-old Wistar rats weighing 250-350g were randomly divided into two groups: HES group ( n = 15) and control group ( n =15) . The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 0.5% pentobarbital sodium 30mg ?kg-1 Bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed and cannulated for MAP monitoring and blood-letting. Blood was gradually removed until MAP dropped to 40mm Hg, which was maintained for 60min. Then same amount of HES (HES group) or Dextran (control group) was infused. The Kupffer cells were separated and purified before hemorrhagic shock (T0), at 12h (T1) 24h (T2) 48h (T3) and 72h (T4) after HES or DEX infusion, when the animals recovered from shock. Phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells (KC) was measured by counting the amount of Latex particles ingested by KC. Results At the same intervals (T1-4) there was no significant difference in phagocytic activity of KC between the two groups. There was no significant difference in phagocytic activity of KC between T0 (baseline) and T1-4 in both groups.Conclusions The phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells in not affected by removed of 20-30% blood volume which was replaced by same amount of HES.
