Objective To monitor pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2)continuously in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) so as to study its clinical implication.Methods SpO_2, thoracic and abdominal respiratory activity was continually recorded during meal time by PSG in 19 patients with COPD. Body mass index and lung function were measured respectively. Results SpO_2 was lower after meal(P

Objective To study PFSDQ-M in evaluating meal-induced hypoxemia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods PFSDQ-M scores were collected from 63 COPD patients;49 of them were performed spirometry and meal-related SpO2 monitoring.On the basis of different lung function parameters,data analysis was used to assess the relationship between PFSDQ-M and meal-induced hypoxemia.Results The SpO2 fluctuation during eating period was of significant difference in COPD patients with 3 respective levels of pulmonary function parameters (P

Objective Analyse the causes,diagnosis and treatment for delayed hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy.Methods Retrospective study on 45 patients combined with intro-abdominal hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy from January 2008 to June 2013.Results Thirteen patients combined with delayed hemorrhage in these 45 patients,all of 13 patients had intro-abdominal hemorrhage in 1week to 4 weeks after operation.And 5 of the 13 patiens were intermittent intro-abdominal hemorrhage 1 week after operation,these patients were demonstrated the blood come from gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm fracture by CT and DSA examine,and they were cured by interventional embolization.Other 8 patients were marginal ulcer hemorrhage diagnosed by gastroscope,and they stoped bleeding with the help of gastroscope.Conclusions The causes of delayed hemorrhage after distal radical gastrectomy were complicated,and CT,DSA and endoscope can use for diagnosis.What was more,interventional embolization and endoscope were helpful for curing the intro-abdominal hemorrhage,avoiding re-operation.

In order to reform the medical talent evaluation system, establish evaluation systems of physician competency, and implement physician resources management systems according to work position, and the compensa-tion system which reflects the value of medical services, The basic principles and standards of different physician tiers and grades are created in Shenzhen based on literature review, expert consultation and the methods from the American Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) . Some results have achieved, including medical competency as-sessment of a certain number of physicians in the pilot project ( the coincidence rate of special hospitals is higher than general hospitals, respectively 78. 9% and 44. 8% ), comprehensive personnel systems reforms in public hospi-tals, and the trial selection of medical talents. The paper also provides some implications:The cognition of all sectors of society and physician themselves should be improved, Transitional policies for position recruitment and performance pay needs further improvement. Meanwhile, the grade evaluation system of non-physicians must also be given greater attention.

AIM To study the effects of progesterone on contractile activity of smooth muscle stripes and the large conduction Ca 2+ activated K + currents (BK Ca ) of single colonic myocytes in female guinea pig proximal colons METHODS Stripes and single cells were separated acutely from guinea pig proximal colon Contractions of stripes were measured by isonic transducer, and Ca 2+ activated K + currents were recorded with an Axopatch 1D amplifier under conventional whole cell patterns RESULTS 64 8 ?mol?L -1 progesterone produced longitudinal stripes significantly re laxation(0 1792 g?0 0873 g, n =6, P

Objective To establish a more sensitive method to detect free cancer cells in peritoneal washings of gastric cancer cases during surgery. Methods The CEAmRNA levels in peritoneal washings in 65 cases of gastric cancer were detected by Real-time RT-PCR. PLC was applied simultaneously to detect free cancer cells. Negative controls included the peritoneal washings from 5 cases of benign gastric diseases and the blood samples from 5 cases of healthy adult volunteers. Results (1)CEAmRNA was not found in peritoneal washings in benign gastric diseases and in blood of healthy adult volunteers. (2)The positive percentage of free cancer cells detected by Real-time RT-PCR was 47.7%, while PLC′s was only 12.3%.(3)The positive rate of CEAmRNA showed a significant difference between gastric cancer with serosal invasion and without serosa invasion groups, between peritoneal metastasis group and no peritoneal metastasis groups, and also between stages I+II and III+IV diseases(all P

Objective To evaluate a new TNM staging system inclusive of intraperitoneal free cancer cells in terms of postoperative survival of patients with gastric cancer. Methods Free cancer cells (FCC) in the peritoneal washes of gastric cancer patients were estimated by measuring CEA mRNA levels using real-time RT-PCR. After 5-year follow-up, we get the cut-off value of CEA mRNA level by using MedCalc software to analyze the ROC curve. When CEA levels are more than the cut-off value, it may considered as FCC(+), and then using FCC(+) as distant metastasis (MI) to make a new TNM staging and analyze patients life-span. Results (1) Under the ROC curve analysis, when the cut-off value of CEA mHNA level was at 31.21 copies/ml, the Youden's index is the highest. (2) When FCC (+) considered as M1 to make a new TNM staging, the 5-year survival rate showed as below: Ⅰ-Ⅱ, P=0. 134; stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ P=0.004 and Ⅲ-Ⅳ P=0.022,repecetively. Conclusion (1) The best cut-off value of CEA mRNA levels for FCC in peritoneal washes is 31.2 copies/ml. (2) Our study demonstrated that application of FCC(+) in the TNM staging may have a better estimation of prognosis of patients suffering from advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR threedimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) perfusion imaging and intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) DWI in differential diagnosis and quantitative analysis of musculoskeletal tumors.Methods Forty-four patients with musculoskeletal tumors were included.According to pathologic results,there were 12 cases of benign tumors,10cases of intermediate tumors and 22 cases of malignant tumors.3D-ASL and IVIM DWI were both performed on forty-four patients to gain tumor blood flow (TBF),standard ADC (ADCstandard),slow ADC (ADCslow)and fast ADC (ADCfast).Immunohistochemical staining of specimens was performed by using CD34 monoclonal antibody to calculate microvessel density (MVD) counts.MVD,TBF,ADCfast and ADCslow of different groups were compared by one-way ANOVA analysis.ADCstandard was compared by Kruskal-Wallis test.ROC curve was used to analyze ASL and IVIM DWI,in order to determine the threshold and diagnostic reliability.Results The MVD of benign tumors was 10±4,the MVD of intermediate tumors was 15±6,and malignant tumors was 33 ± 1 1.There was significant difference among three groups of MVD(F=28.33,P＜0.05).There was better intra-observer agreement for ADCstandard,ADCfast,ADCslow and TBF(ICC=0.970,0.885,0.778,0.891,respectively,P＜0.05).The TBF of benign tumors was(30±10)ml· min-1· 100 g-1,intermediate tumors was(30± 12) ml·min 1· 100 g-1,and malignant tumors was(84±29)ml·min 1· 100 g-1.There was significant difference among three groups of TBF(F=32.34,P＜0.05).According to the ROC analysis,when the cut-offvalue of TBF was 45.5 ml·min-1· 100 g-1,the area under ROC curve was 0.95 1,and the sensitivity and specificity of TBF in diagnosing malignant tumors were 90.9％ and 95.5％ respectively.There was no significant difference among three groups of ADCstandard,ADCfastand ADCslow of benign tumors were(9.9±5.1)× 10-3,(1.9±0.5) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.ADCfast and ADCalow of intermediate tumors were(8.2 ± 3.6) × 10-3,(1.5 ± 0.6) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.ADCfast and ADCalow of malignant tumors were (16.9 ± 5.8) × 10 3,(1.4 ± 0.6) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.There were significant difference of ADCfast and ADCslow among three groups (F=12.75,5.60,P＜ 0.05).According to the ROC analysis,when the cut-off value of ADCfast was 9.4× 10-3mm2/s,the area under ROC curve was 0.861,the sensitivity and specificity of them in diagnosing malignant tumors were 95.5％ and 68.2％ respectively.Conclusion 3D-ASL and IVIM DWI are valuable in the differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors.
