A cross-sectional study in 116 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was carried out by using the short-form-36 health survey (SF-36), serf-rating anxiety scale ( SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) from January 2008 to April 2008 in our reproduction center. In comparison with the healthy controls, the PCOS patients showed decreased quality of life (QOL) for all items of SF-36 (P<0.05) except for body pain or role-physical scales. The differences in SAS and SDS between the PCOS and the healthy controls were statistically significant (P<0.05). Our study results confirm the negative impacts of PCOS over the quality of life;subfertility, obesity, hirsutism, acne, complications, menstrual irregularity and educational levels might contribute to the reduced QOL.

Objective To investigate the imaging characteristics of rabbit liver VX2 tumor with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) and multidetector spiral CT(MDCT), to explore the criterion of phase timing apllicable to the model.Methods CEUS and MDCT were acquired in thirty-three New Zealand rabbits with hepatic VX2 tumors.The initial time of hepatic arterial phase was verified as the time the hepatic artery beginning to enhance,the initial time of portal phase as the time the VX2 tumor reaching peak enhancement and the initial time of hepatic parenchymal phase as the time the hepatic parenchyma reaching peak enhancement.The enhancing characteristics were observed.The time-intensity curve of VX2 tumor and peripheral parenchyma in CEUS was analysed and compared with the time-desity curve of abdominal aorta, portal vein, hepatic parenchyma and tumor in MDCT.Results The initial time of heptic arterial phase,portal phase and parenchymal phase in CEUS and MDCT was (6.82±1.36)s and (9.43±2.23)s,(11.64±2.03)s and (13.77±2.01)s,(20.24±4.17)s and (22.71± 4.58)s,respectively.The initial time of each phase in CEUS was earlier than that in MDCT (P<0.01).The contrast enhancing characteristics in CEUS and MDCT were consistent as fast wash-in and fast wash-out.Conclusions The status of hemodynamic perfusion in rabbit hepatic VX2 tumor could be well displayed by CEUS and the phase timing criterion concluded in this experimental study could offer fundmental theory basis for relevant imaging evaluation.

Objective To discuss the importance of balloon occlusion test before interventional treatment of the intracranial giant intemal carotid artery aneurysms and to sum up the nursing experience in assisting the procedure. Methods Proper perioperative nursing measures were carried out for 12 patients, who suffered from intracranial giant internal carotid artery aneurysm and underwent spring coil occlusion treatment. Nursing measures included mental care, observation of the vital signs, prevention of the complications, etc. Results Neither death nor exacerbation of the condition occurred in all the 12 patients. The patients were discharged from the hospital with a mean hospitalization of nine days. During a follow-up period ranged from 4 months to one year, seven patients had no disagreeable feeling, one patient complained of discomfort but no abnormality was found on follow-up DSA, and disappearance of the aneurysm was observed in 4 patients. Conclusion The monitoring of the vital signs, the prevention of the complications and the standard nursing care are the key points for ensuring a successful operation in treating intracranial giant intemal carotid artery aneurysms with spring coil occlusion.
