Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a serious central nervous system complication after general anesthesia and surgery. Its risk factors are very complex, and the mechanisms of POCD are still unclear. Recently, the role of inflammation, especially cancer related inflammation, in the development of POCD is of great interest. In this review, we focus on inflammation, and try to clarify the effect of anesthetics and anesthesia on inflammation and POCD. This review aimed to provide a theoretical basis of choosing appropriate anesthetics and anesthesia for these patients, especially the cancer patients, who are vulnerable to inflammation and POCD.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the consumption of antibiotics and the trend of antibiotic resistance rate in our hospital for clinical reference of rational application of antibiotics. METHODS:The consumption of antibiotics in our hospital from 2007 to 2008 was investigated by DDDs analytical method,and the synchronous isolation results of the pathogens and the resistance rates of pathogens to different kinds of antibiotics were analyzed comparatively to search a countermeasure for clinical treatment with antibiotics. RESULTS: In terms of DDDs,leading the list was ?-lactam,followed by macrolides. The infection in our hospital was mostly induced by Escherichia Coli,followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The resistance rates of pathogens to penicillins and macrolide antibiotics were the highest. Drug resistance rate was correlated to consumption of antibiotics. CONCLUSION: Anti-infective treatment should be carried out based on the drug susceptibility test;the use of antibiotics should be used rationally according to their clinical efficacy,and the consumption of antibiotics should be controlled to prevent or delay the production of antibiotic resistance.

They would be classified according to causation figure then finally resolved. RESULTS: Systematic countermeasures were summarized and put forward. The dispensing efficiency was improved significantly. CONCLUSION: The effective control of time elements in the dispensing process and reasonable outside condition are the guarantee of the improvement of dispensing efficiency of TCM decoction pieces.

The clinical data and ultrasound findings of 185 patients with thyroid nodules undergoing thyroidectomy from June to December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed.Postoperative pathology confirmed malignant thyroid nodules in 86 cases and benign nodules in 99 cases.The ultrasonographic findings showed that there were significant differences in obscure boundary [51％ (44/86) vs.16％ (16/99)],hypoecho [(95％ (82/86) vs.27％ (27/99)],internal micro-calcification [63％ (54/86) vs.21％ (21/99)] and lymph node enlargement [33％ (28/86) vs.5％ (5/99)] between malignant and benign nodules (all P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) in differentiation of malignant and benign thyroid nodules were 77％ (66/86),86％ (85/99),83％ (66/80),81％ (85/105) and 82％ (151/185),respectively.The positive rates of thyroid globulin antibody(TGAb) and thyroid peroxydase antibody (TPO-Ab) in malignant nodules [6％ (5/79) and 25％ (20/79)] were significantly higher than those in benign nodules [0 (0/94) and 12％ (11/94)] (both P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in free T3 (FT3),free T4 (FT4) and TSH between the two groups [(4.91-± 0.78) vs.(4.93-± 1.98) pmol/L,(13.57 ±2.22) vs.(13.58 ±2.17)pmol/Land(1.78±1.40) vs.(1.88±2.36)mU/L] (allP＞0.05).The results indicate that TI-RADS grading and thyroid immunity index are valuable for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the reformatted unenhanecded spiral CT of ureter for ureterolithiasis. Methods 39 patients were examined using nonenhenced spiral CT from the top of the kidneys to symphysis pubis in a single breath hold. The postprocessing method used in our studies was curved planar reformatting(CPR). Results Reformatted CT displayed clearly the entire course of ureter in all 39 cases . The diagnosis of ureterolithiasis was made on CPR views by definitive demonstration a calculus actually within the ureter, including the stone size, shape, location and the obstruction degree of ureter in 33 patients. The CPR views also demonstrated the ureter and the structures around clearly to aid greatly in differentiating the other 6 cases miscellaneous urinary tract conditions. Conclusion Our findings suggest that the reformatted nonenhanecded spiral CT of ureter has potential as an imaging tool for the ureterolithiasis and other urinary tract abnormalities.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Chinese drugs for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (CDABCRBS) on carotid atherosclerotic plaque and long-term ischemic cerebrovascular events.

METHODSBy using open and control method, effect of 4 groups of platelet antagonists, platelet antagonists + CDABCRBS, platelet antagonists +atorvastatin, platelet antagonists +atorvastatin +CDABCRBS on carotid atherosclerotic plaque and long-term ischemic cerebrovascular events of 90 cerebral infarction patients were analyzed.

RESULTSThrough survival analysis, there was no statistical difference in the effect of the 4 interventions on the variation of carotid stenosis rates or ischemic cerebrovascular events (P > 0.05). The occurrence of ischemic cerebrovascular events could be postponed by about 4 months in those treated with platelet antagonists + CDABCRBS and platelet antagonists + atorvastatin +CDABCRBS. By multivariate Logistic analysis, age, hypertension, and clopidogrel were associated with stenosis of extracranial carotid arteries (P <0.05). Age, diabetes, aspirin, clopidogrel, CDABCRBS were correlated with cerebrovascular accidents (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSWhether or not accompanied with hypertension is an influential factor for carotid stenosis, but it does not affect the occurrence of ischemic cerebrovascular events. CDABCRBS could effectively prolong the occurrence time of ischemic cerebrovascular events.
