Objective To evaluate sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) in the treatment of spastic pelvic floor syndrome (SPFS).Method In this study,36 patients of spastic pelvic floor syndrome who received SNS treatment from 2011.3 to 2011.12,were reviewed in terms of clinical curative effect,changes of anal pressure and defecography.Result After a course of SNS treatment,patients were followed up for 3 months,12 cases were cured,22 cases improved and 2 cases were ineffective,the total effective rate was 94.4％.The symptoms such as endless defecate feeling,difficulty in defecation,anal pain and anal obstruction feeling improved significantly (P ＜0.01 ).After the therapy,rectal anal reflex( RAR)threshold value volume rose,anal maximum contraction pressure (AMCP),anal rest perssure (ARP) decreased (P ＜ 0.01 ).While the anal longest contraction time (ALCT)and rectal rest pressure (RRP) did not change significantly (P ＞ 0.05 ).After treatment,when patient defecate the anorectal angle (ARA) increases,the puborectal muscle spasm notch (PMSN)attenuates (P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions SNS is effective and minimally invasive in treating spastic pelvic floor syndrome.

Acupuncture was frequently used for alternative treatments in Parkinson's disease because of its safety,but there was an argument whether acupuncture improves motor symptoms or not.Besides,few electrophysiological studies were designed for acupuncture combined with Parkinson's disease Using the technique of paired transcranial pulse magnetic stimulation,we measured the excitability of corticocortical inhibitory circuits to investigate effects of scalp acupuncture from 9 patients with Parkinson's disease.Although patients didn't take any short-term benefit in motor symptoms through the treatment of scalp acupuncture,there was no any adverse event,and some electrophysical effects developed in patients.The enhanced corticocortical inhibition on motor cortex possibly developed at longer interstimulus intervals,and there was a relatively increase in later part of motor-related cortical potentials on the central part and right-side near vertex around over sensory cortex,but was not significant in early potentials.So a further long-term study is essential to ascertain the physical mechanism and clinical effects in scalp acupuncture.

Objective To compare the effect and compliance of Rifampicin by vein and oral in treating pulmonary tuberculosis in elderly patients who were primary treated and had positive sputum. Methods A total of 100 first-time smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group and the control group,with 50 cases in each group. During the observation enhancement period,patients of the treatment group were given HZE added rifampin inoculation fluid and HEZ plus rifampin capsules for the control group.The indicators were recorded, such as:the rate of digestive discomfort, liver digfunction ,symptom improvement, sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the second month and chest X-ray improvement. Results In therapy group and control group,the rate of digestive discomfort was 14% and 82% respectively,P ＜0. 05 ;the rate of liver disfunction at the first weekend was 16% and 12% respectively(P ＞ 0. 05 ) ;The rate of liver disfunction at the second weekend was 36% and 30% respectively(P ＞0. 05) ;The rate of the symptom improvement was 96% and 70% respectively ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) ;The rate of improvement remarkably in chest film was 80% and 32% respectively( P ＜ 0. 05 ) ;The rate of sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the second month was 52% and 34% ,P ＞0. 05 ;the rate of.sputum smear negative conversion at the end of the sixth month was 96% and 82% (P ＜ 0. 05 ) ;The rate of chemotherapy formula changed during the therapy was 14% and 82% ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion The Rifampicin was used by vein in elderly PTB that primary treated and got positive sputum could get better effect indexes,less side effect in digestive tract,similar liver disfunction and fine compliance to the standardized chemotherapy formula.

This study was aimed to investigate short-term modulation mechanism of scalp acupuncture according to the experimentation of cortical excitability and motor-related cortical potentials in ten normal volunteers.Through scalp needle stimulation in specific theoretical areas related to underlying cerebral surfaces,scalp acupuncture can be used as an effective therapy by changes in relative cerebral function,which is the basic principle.According to the available neurophysiological data in our study,the modulation of scalp acupuncture displayed in late part of motor-related cortical potential noticed mainly in the motor and sensory cortexes,contralateral to the needle stimulate site.Also,acupuncture can develop inhibition at longer interstimulus intervals,in paired pulse magnetic stimulation,from the somatosensory input of contralateral sensory cortex via scalp needle stimulation.In our study,it might be difficult to produce more acupuncture inhibition.The maintaining of scalp needles subcutaneously without other management after achieving needling sensations cannot achieve the requested strength of the acupuncture stimulation.

The values of MV-E/A, PV-E/A, MV-e′/a′, TV-e′/a′, IVS-e′/a′, MV-E/IVS-e′, LV mass/LVEDV and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) showed no correlations with body weight (all P>0.05). Except for RV, MV-D1, MV-D2, MV-D3, TV-D1, TV-E, MV-s′, IVS-a′, TV-s′and TV-e′, all R2 obtained by nonlinear regression method (lnY=a+bX+cX2+dX3) were larger than those obtained by linear regression method (Y=a+bX). The Z score showed a normal distribution and no correlation with body weight. Conclusions The normal reference values of newborn undergoing echocardiography reflect the variation in weight. The Z scores can be obtained by the predicted nonlinear regression equations and show standard normal distribution. The echocardiography normal reference values have important significance for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal heart disease.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and outcome of renal cyst infection in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Methods Clinical data of 40 ADPKD patients with 43 episodes of renal cyst infection admitted in Shanghai Changzheng Hospital from 1st January 1991 to 31st December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Differences of microbiological data and treatments between 1st January 1991 to 31st December 2000 and 1st January 2001 to 31st December 2010 were compared. Results Among 473 identified patients with ADPKD and 662 episodes of hospitalization,40 patients had 43 episodes of renal cyst infection,including 8 definite and 35 likely cases.Microbiological documentation was available for 34 episodes (79.0％),Escherichia coli accounting for 82.4％ of all retrieved bacterial strains.Resistant Escherichia coli to quinolone and certain β-lactamine increased in recent decade.Clinical efficacy of initial antibiotic treatment was noted in 69.8％ of episodes. Antibiotic treatment modification was more frequently required for patients receiving initial monotherapy compared with those receiving combination therapy.In the first ten-year group,initial combination therapy and clinical efficacy were noted in 30.0％ and 60.0％ of episodes respectively,and hospital stay was (20.2±6.7) d.In the second ten-year group,initial combination therapy and clinical efficacy were noted in 61.9％ and 78.2％ of episodes respectively,and hospital stay was (16.3±3.2) d.Large infected cysts (diameter ＞5 cm) frequently required drainage. Conclusions In renal cyst infection,the source of the organisms is often a gram negative enteric organism.Empiric therapy is often initiated with two antibiotics.The drainage of large infected cysts remains the main treatment for cyst infection.
