4. Full-term delivery after surgical management of tubal rupture combined with heterotopic pregnancy: A case report
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;31(11):1232-1233
Objective To understand the risk of heterotopic pregnancy when intrauterine pregnancy and abdominal pain co-exist. Methods and results We report a patient with heterotopic pregnancy in a naturally occurring pregnancy; she also had high risks for secondary infertility. At gestational week 13 she had hemorrhagic shock due to intrauterine pregnancy complicated with rupture of tubal pregnancy; salpingectomy was performed via open operation. The intrauterine pregnancy was uneventful after operation, and a healthy baby was delivered through cesarean section at 37+2 weeks due to placental previa. Conclusion Heterotopic pregnancy usually occurs in women receiving assisted reproductive technology, but it can also happen in natural conception when there are high risk factors. Satisfactory outcome can be obtained in patients with heterotopic pregnancy, rupture of tubal pregnancy, and hemorrhagic shock, if prompt measures and supporting treatment can be given.

Objective To observe the effect of acupoint thread-embedding at Neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST36) on anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal. Method Sixty-seven patients with heroin addiction were randomized into a Neiguan group (25 cases), a Zusanli group (22 cases) and a Neiguan plus Zusanli group (20 cases), to receive corresponding treatments once every 20 d, for 4 sessions in total. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were adopted to observe the anxiety and sleep condition before and after the treatment. Result After 60 d thread-embedding treatment, the total and standard SAS scores, sleep initiation time and total PSQI score were significantly decreased in the 3 groups (P<0.05), and the sleep durations were significantly extended (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of anxiety, Neiguan plus Zusanli group > Neiguan group >Zusanli group (P<0.05); in comparing the improvement of sleep, Neiguan plus Zusanli group was superior to both Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between Zusanli group and Neiguan group (P>0.05). Conclusion It's effective to use thread-embedding at Neiguan and Zusanli independently or together for anxiety and sleep disorders after heroin withdrawal, but the efficacy is more significant when the two points are used in combination, indicating the synergy of acupoints.

Objective To investigate the changes of interleukin(IL)-2 and interferon(IFN)-γin serum and synovial fluid of patients with joint injure with Kashin-Beck disease(KBD), and study the roles of IL-2 and IFN-γ in KBD joint injure. Methods In accordance with the "Diagnostic Criteria of Kashin-Beck disease"(GB16003-1995),48 cases of KBD patients and 26 healthy people(control group) from KBD endemic area in Long county Shaanxi province were enrolled in the study. KBD patient were 24 males and 24 females, respectively, aged 40 to 65 years (mean age 51 years). Forty-eight serum specimens and 28 synovial fluid specimens of patients(14 males and 14 females,respectively) were collected. Healthy control group were 13 males and 13 females, respectively. Twenty-six serum specimens of healthy controls were collected. Serum and synovial fluid IL-2 and IFN-γ levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results In healthy controls and KBD patients, the midian of serum IL-2 were 46.8 ng/L and 55.7 ng/L, respectively, and IFN-γ were 52.3 ng/L and 48.8 ng/L, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant between healthy controls and KBD patients(t = 0.62, 0.70, all P > 0.05).In synovial fluid of KBD patient, the midian of IL-2 and IFN-γwere 48.3 ng/L and 44.1 ng/L, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant between serum and synovial fluid in KBD patients(t = 0.69, 1.72, all P >0.05). Conclusion Serum and synovial fluid IL-2 and IFN-γare not significantly increased in KBD patients with articular damage, indicating that IL-2 and IFN-γare not involved in KBD joint injury.

OBJECTIVE To intensify the management of the acupuncture department and prevent and control nosocomial infection.METHODS During the course of the management of the acupuncture department,the causes of nosocomial infection were found through analyzing the possible reasons of nosocomial infection and a series of relevant measures were taken to improve the control of nosocomial infection.RESULTS In order to control nosocomial infection in acupuncture department we needed to strength the disinfection management in the following aspects:air in the room,medical procedures and implement,medical staff hands and medical disposals.CONCLUSIONS Strict management is the important measures to reduce the nosocomial infection.

Objective To study the impact of postoperative aerobic exercise on the cardiac function of breast cancer patients during anthracyclines-based chemotherapy. Methods Sixty cases of female breast cancer pa-tients, from June 2014 to December 2015 for anthracyclines-based chemotherapy, were randomly divided into ex-perimental group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). Four cycles of conventional anthracyclines-based chemotherapy were conducted in control group, while three times of aerobic exercise per week were added in exper-imental group until the end of treatment course apart from conventional treatment. The peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) and maximum heart rate (HRmax) were measured before and after chemotherapy in both groups, ac-companied by ECG monitoring and blood collecting to measure the changes in their N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), serum creatinine (SCr) and kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB). Results No significant differ-ences in various indicators before chemotherapy were reported between two groups (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, VO2 max/kg [(21.9 ± 3.6) vs. (14.5 ± 2.8) mL/(min·kg)], VO2 max [(1 523 ± 186) vs. (911 ± 185) mL/min] and HRmax[(115 ± 15) vs. (129 ± 16) beats/min] in experimental group were significantly improved when com-pared with those in control group; significant differences in hematological levels and ECG changes were also ob-served between two groups. Conclusion Aerobic exercise during chemotherapy can mitigate the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines to patients, which provides a new idea and therapy to reduce the incidence of clinical cardiovascular events induced by anthracyclines-based chemotherapy.

Glioblastoma(GBM)is one of the most common primary intracranial tumor that has high de-gree of malignancy ,invasive ability and a fatal prognosis .In recent years ,with the development of modern technol-ogy in biomedical sciences ,the understanding on GBM has developed gradually from pathological diagnosis to mo -lecular classifications ,which is based on the molecular characteristics of genetic signatures .Based on gene expres-sion and DNA methylation patterns , primary glioblastoma is divided into four subtypes , including the classical , neural,proneural and mesenchymal .These molecular classifications are closely relevant to the biological charac-teristics of glioblastoma .This review briefly introduces the molecular classifications of primary glioblastoma , but mainly focuses on the changes of the major genetic EGFR ,PTEN and PI3K,CDKN2A in the classical subtype of GBM,and discusses the treatment strategies for primary glioblastoma .
