Objective To analyse the effect of microwave therapy on tennis elbow. Methods 60 patients with tennis elbow during September, 2007 to September, 2008 were divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment received microwave therapy while control group was treated with Diclofenac Diethylamine. All patients were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the treatment.Results The VAS is lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.01). Conclusion Microwave therapy is effective on tennis elbow.

Objective To study the effects of salt and cooking oil intervention among hypertensive patients on knowledge-attitude-practice. Method Three thousand hypertensive patients from 20 community health service centers in Shenzhen were chosen by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots were provided during six-month health intervention. Before and after the six-months health intervention, 2 976 and 2 864 valid questionnaires were collected respectively. After intervention, 40 families were randomly selected to perform an investigation of cooking oil and salt weighing during 3 d 24 h. Result Before the intervention, the rates of awareness on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 29.94% and 16.23% respectively. After intervention, the rates increased to 88.58% (P<0.000 1) and 84.29%(P<0.000 1) respectively. The rates of restriction on the intake of salt and cooking oil were 62.97% and 59.07%, respectively, after the intervention, the rates were 97.14% and 96.79% (P<0.000 1), respectively. By using the salt measuring spoons and scaled oil pots, the intake of cooking oil and salt reached the recommended amount in Chinese dietary guideline. Conclusion The implementation of health education combined with appropriate tools could promote the knowledge and behavior of the salt and cooking oil consumption.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial distribution and the extent of drug resistance in ICU patients,and offer the first-hand information to the clinical preventive and therapeutic countermeasures. METHODS The antimicrobial susceptibility tests to 28 commonly used antibiotics were performed using the ATB Expression of Bio-Merieux with K-B method.The ESBLs were detected by the disk diffusion tests and the confirmatory tests,and the MRSA,MRCNS,and VRE were also tested at the sametime. RESULTS Totally 264 strains were isolated from the 201 positive samples,among them 192 strains were Gram-negative bacteria,43 strains were Gram-positive ones,and 29 strains were fungi.The percentage of these three groups were 72.7%,16.3% and 11.0%,respectively.The main strains of the Gram-negative bacteria were PAE,ABA,KPN,ECO and SMA,and of the Gram-positive bacteria were EC,SAU and CNS.The major strain of fungi was C.albicans.The pathogens tested showed high drug resistance.The Gram-negative bacteria showed tendency of sensitivity to IPM,AZT,CAZ,FEP,SFC,AMK and CIP,and the Gram-positive bacteria to VAN,SXT,RIF and NIF.For KPN and ECO,the percentage of strains producing ESBLs were 64.7% and 64.3%.And the percentage of MRSA,MRCNS,VRE were 80%,66.7% and 22.2%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS It was showed that the major pathogens infected the ICU patients are Gram-negative bacteria,and the pathogens show the high drug resistance.Doctors should pay more attention to analyze the bacterial resistance profile in order to decrease the incidence of drug resistance and use the antibiotics properly.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the biological and molecular biological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in burn patients in order to give the first hand information for preventing and controlling of hospital acquired infections.METHODS The identification was done by Bio-Merieux ATB expression.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed with K-B method.The plasmid DNA was extracted by Alkaline Lysis,and separated by electrophoresis on the gel.The ESBLs detection was based on NCCLS.RESULTS The K.pneumoniae from the burn patients and the environment were sensitive to CIP,FOX and IPM,but showed resistance to the rest 12 antibiotics.The plasmid DNA profile analysis showed 3 types,and the relative molecular mass was approximately 4.7?106,3.6?106 and 2.0?106.The molecular biological characteristics showed these pathogens were ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,which was different from the control bacteria.At the same time,the pathogens caused the original infection were detected,and they were accordingly Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pyogenes,and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.CONCLUSIONS The outbreak in burn patients is caused by ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,which has the same antibiotic resistance spectrum and plasmid DNA profile.This ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae has the same origin.The pathogen might be transmitted by the case history clips and the door knobs.It was suggested that something must be done to enhance the antisepsis administration in order to prevent the hospital acquired infection.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of modified VDLP (vincristine + daunorubicin + L-asparaginase + prednisone) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in elderly patients and its adverse reactions.Methods 31 elderly patients diagnosed as ALL at the initial visit from Jan.2009 to Dec.2014 were randomly divided into the experiment group (n=16) and the control group (n=15).Patients in the control group received traditional VDLP chemotherapy (vincristine 2 mg at 1,8,15 days;daunorubicin 30-40 mg/m2 at 1,2,15,16 days;L-asparaginase 6 000-10 000 U at 11,14,17,20 days;prednisone 1 mg/kg at 1 to 14 days),whereafter underwent a gradual dose reduction and drug withdrawal within 1-2 weeks.Patients in the experiment group received the modified VDLP chemotherapy (vincristine 2mg at 1,8,15 days;daunorubicin 30-40 mg/m2 at 1-3 days;L-asparaginase 6 000-10 000 U at 11,14,17,20 days;prednisone 1 mg/kg at 1 to 14 days),whereafter underwent a gradual dose reduction and drug withdrawal within 1-2 weeks.The complete response (CR) rate and complications were recorded.Results The CR rates were 53.3％ in modified VDLP group and 58.3％ in VDLP group,and there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The treatment-related mortality and the incidence of severe infection had significant differences between the modified VDLP and VDLP groups (6.3％ vs.46.3％,31.3％ vs.66.7％,both P＜0.05).Conclusions Compared with VDLP,the modified VDLP is more tolerable and suitable for the elderly patients with ALL.

BACKGROUND: There is often a physical and psychosocial effect in burn injury, and the degree of mental stress reaction is related to social support, individual experience and personality characteristics.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mental stress reaction, the degree of social support and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)personality characteristics in acute burn patients, and to analysis the influence factor of mental stress reaction.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.SETTING: West China Mental Health Center of Sichuan University, Burn Department of Mianyang Municipal Central Hospital, and Burn Department of General Hospital of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company.PARTICIPANTS: From April 2003 to April 2005, totally 104 mild, moderate or severe burn patients, including 92 males and 12 females, aged 12-60 years, selected from Mianyang Central Hospital and Department of burn of General Hospital of Panzhihua Iron & Steel Co., Ltd took part in the study.METHODS: The emotional problems and personality characteristics were measured with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA), the Minnesote Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the Social Support Rating Scale (SS) as well as general clinical data,by the rating scales 3 day after burn. The patients were divided into anxiety-depression group (n=51) and normal emotion group (n=53) according to their anxiety-depression scores (anxious score＞ 7,depressive score＞ 8), those influencing factor included burning total area,age, sex and society support, Stepwise Regression was introduced to get the main factors that influenced mental stress reaction.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Scores of each scale and comparison of general clinical data in each group; ② stepwise regression analysis of depression and anxiety of burn patients.RESULTS: Data of Totally 104 patients was entered the final analysis. ①The scores were 10.4±2.46 and 16.8±5.94 of anxious and depressive patients during acute burn period, which were higher than those in normal group (4.29±2.26, 5.48±2.06, P=0.01). ② The main influential factor for depression were burning area and social supporting availability, and those for anxiety were age, burning area, social supporting availability and subjective social supporting degree. ③ MMPI test results show that T scores in anxiety-depression group were below 60 points, however T-scores were above 60 points in normal group including cheating points, hypomania,schizophrenia, psychasthenia and paranoid ideation CONCLUSION: Burn is a mental crisis to burn patients, which can lead to abnormal emotional reaction and personality change. The depressive and anxious score are positively related with burning area, and are negatively correlated with society supporting availability. The good social support system is benefit to over mental crisis period.

BACKGROUND:Some scholars have found that cervical vertebral body bone trabecula was reduced,became thin,even perforated in old patients with osteoporosis.Whether this change will induce cervical vertebral body deformation,and what relationship to the onset of cervical syndromeOBJECTIVE:To study the relation of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and osteoporosis by measuring and comparing.METHODS:A totaI of 40 subjects with normal lumbar vertebra density and without cervical spondylosis were enrolled as control group,averagely 32 5 years.A total of 30 patients with cervical spondylosis served as cervical spondylosis group,averagely 43.6 years.Totally 46 patients with cervical spondylosis and osteoporosis served as combined with osteoporosis group,averagely 58.6 years.116 subjects underwent radiograph Height and sagittal diameter of the vertebral body ratio of height to sagittal diameter of the vertebral body.and ratio of sagittal diameter of cervical canal/vertebra body were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group.vertebral height was decreased.and sagittal diameter became longer(P＜0.05),and the ratio of sagittal diameter of cervical canal/vertebra body became smaller(P＜0.05)in the combined with osteoporosis group.Vertebral body deformation was characterized by decreased vertebral height and prolonged sagittal diameter became flat.Results suggested that osteoporosis induced cervical vertebral deformation,correlation between osteoporosis and cervical spondylosis,which may be a factor for cervical spondylosis development.

Objective To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) pretreatment on the liver function and mRNA and protein expressions of nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) in brain-dead BA-Ma mini pigs. Methods The brain-dead model was established by increasing intracranial pressure by a modi-fied, slow and intermittent way. A total of 15 BA-Ma mini pigs were randomly and equally divided into three groups (five in each group), ie, control group (Group C) : treated only with opening and closing abdomen after anesthesia; group without NAC treatment (group B): brain-dead models without use of NAC; NAC treatment group (Group N): 1 and 12 hours after establishment of brain-dead models, 200 mg/kg NAC was added into 100 ml normal saline and intravenously transfused. Levels of ALT and AST in serum as well as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were determined at 3,6,12, 18,24 hours after brain death. The changes of liver tissues were observed by HE staining under a light microscope, the uhrastruc-rural changes of liver tissues observed under electron microscope, the expression of NF-KB detected by immnohistochemistry and change of NF-KB mRNA by RT-PCR. Results (1) Compared with Group C, serum ALT and AST began to increase at 12 hours after brain death, but IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α be-gan to increase three hours after brain death in Groups B and N. mRNA and protein expressions of NF-KB in Groups B and N began to increase six hours after brain death, when Group B increased more sharply than Group N, with statistical difference (P<0.05). (2) At 12 hours after brain death, injury of liver cells in Group B was severer than that in Group N. Conclusion NAC can inhibit the mRNA and pro-tein expressions of NF-KB, decrease the release of inflammatory factors and hence protect the hepatic structure and function during brain death.

Objective To summarize the etiology and clinical features of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) in the recent l0 years in China.Methods Pubmed,Medline,EMbase,CNKI,Wan fang and VIP database were searched for relevant articles published from January 2001 to December 2016 using Pancreatitis,Recurrence and Etiology as term index words.Meta analysis was conducted by RevManS.3 software.Results A total of 16 studies involving 3 980 patients (RAP n =1 231,AP n =2 749) were included.The age and sex were not correlated with AP recurrence.Biliary diseases,alcohol,inappropriate diets were associated with AP recurrence,but these were not the factors influencing RAP.Hyperlipidemia was responsible for the occurrence of pancreatitis in 17.00％ of RAP and 10.20％ of AP,with statistically significant difference (P =0.002).Hyperlipidemia was an important risk factor influencing AP relapse.The percentage of SAP in AP and RAP patients was 16.83％ and 24.13％,respectively,and the complication rate was 11.43％ and 15.13％,and the percentage of jaundice was 28.20％ and 32.53％.Those in RAP were higher than those in AP,and the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Hyperlipidemia was the predominant risk factor for RAP in China,and the patients with RAP tend to progress into SAP,and have jaundice and complications.

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a lifethreatening disease,with high mortality rate and is easily misdiagnosed.Rapid and acute detection of the AMI and its primary diseases by multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) is of great significance.The clinical data of 31 patients with AMI who were admitted to the Xidian Group Hospital from January 2005 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Stenosis or occlusion of the mesenteric blood vessels,diminished or absent enhancement of the bowel wall are the direct signs of CT,thickening of the bowel wall is the most typical indirect sign of CT.Dilatation or collapse of the bowel lumen and swelling of the mesenterium are the common CT signs.Pneumatosis intestinalis and gas in the portomesenteric vein are reliable CT signs of the Intestinal Infarction.Artery and venous embolism,atherosclerosis,vasculitis,aortitis,strangulated intestinal obstruction and superior mesenteric artery dissection are the possible causes of AMI.
