Objective To observe the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMFs) or/and exercise on the area bone mineral density (aBMD) and volume bone mineral density (vBMD) of rats with osteoporosis induced by tretinoin gastric perfusion.Methods 100 female SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups with 20 rats in each group： PEMFs group, exercise group, PEMFs plus exercise group, osteoporosis group and healthy control group. Except for the healthy control group, the osteoporosis models of other 4 groups were built by tretinoin gastric perfusion. After the building of models, each group was intervened with different treatment. In the 4th, 6th and 8th week after treatment, relevant Results of aBMD and vBMD were tested.Results Compared with the osteoporosis group, the BMD of the rats of PEMFs group, exercise group, PEMFs plus exercise group significantly increased significantly ( P＜0.05) in the 6th week, 4th week and 4th week after treatment respectively. In the 6th and 8th week, there was no significant differences among the PEMFs plus exercise group, the exercise group and the PEMFs group ( P>0.05).Conclusion PEMFs can increase the BMD of the rats with osteoporosis as well as exercise. PEMFs takes effect slower than exercise.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of small-axillary-incision esophagectomy combined with mechanical esophagogastric anastomosis for esophageal carcinoma.Methods From April 2005 to April 2007,56 patients with esophageal cancer underwent small-axillary-incision esophagectomy combined with mechanical esophagogastric anastomosis in our hospital.After thoracotomy was performed via a small axillary incision,the stomach and esophagus were separated.Circular stapler was used for esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy.The anastomotic segment was then enveloped and placed at the esophageal bed.Results The average length of the axillary incision was(13.2?1.6)cm(10-15 cm).No anastomotic leak and hemorrhage,injury to the laryngeal nerve,or chylothorax occurred in this series.53 of the patients were followed up for 4-16 months(mean,7.8 months),during which 1(1.9%)patient developed slight anastomotic stenosis,and 4(7.5%)had gastroesophageal reflux.Conclusions Small axillary incision causes less trauma to the patients leading to a quick recovery.By using mechanical cervical anastomosis,man-mad injuries to the anastomotic segment are avoided,resulting in a low rate of postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly people in Ningbo,in order to provide the basis for prevention and treatment of hip fracture.Methods A case-control study were conducted in study on 450 cases of hip fracture patients aged over 60 years in Ningbo and 450 subjects of control as 1 ∶ 1 matched case control study.A univariate analysis of hip fracture was performed by x2 test.Risk factors for hip fracture were analyzed by logistic regression.Results Poor self-care ability (OR=5.05),light manual labor occupation (OR=4.10),history of cerebrovascular events (OR=2.59),smoking (OR=2.14) were the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly men,while poor self-care ability (OR=11.36),light manual labor occupation (OR=2.41),osteoporosis (OR=3.19),early menopause (OR=6.89),low body mass index (OR=5.05) were the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly women.The protective factors for hip fracture was milk uptake (OR=0.29) Conclusions Early interventions for hip fracture risk factors,and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis can help reduce the occurrence of hip fracture.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Continuous selected 636 cases of 50-80 years old inpatients or outpatients who examined by transcranial color Doppler ultrasound (TCD) in April 2012 to April 2013 in our hospital.Keep the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating (CDR) as the evaluation of cognitive function.Results Detected 124 cases of MCAS patients (MCAS group) and 512 cases of non-MCAS patients (non-MCAS group).Forty-four cases MCI were detected in MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 35.5％(44/124),and 114 cases of patients with MCI were detected in non-MCAS group with the prevalence rate was 22.3％ (114/512),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Single factor analysis showed that there were no significant difference between two groups in waist circumference,hypertension,coronary heart disease,hyperlipidemia,smoking,diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol,uric acid,fasting glucose,C-reactive protein (P ＞ 0.05); There were significantly different between two groups in age,gender,education level,MCAS,history of diabetes,systolic blood pressure and triglyceride,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(P ＜ 0.05).Multiple factors analysis showed that the MCAS (OR =1.899,95％ CI 1.224-2.946),history of diabetes (OR =1.764,95％ CI 1.191-2.612),systolic blood pressure(OR =1.012,95％ CI 1.003-1.022),gender (OR =0.558,95％ CI 0.380-0.821),and age (OR =1.029,95％ CI 1.010-1.049) was the independent risk factor for MCI.Conclusion The MCAS related with MCI occurrence and development.

Objective To examine the application effect of intelligent simulator(SimMan) in comprehensive skill training among doctors and nurses.Methods Totally 168 doctors and nurses were chosen as the training object,6 people (4 doctors and 2 nurses) formed a work team.Comprehensive training course was in accordance with 2010 American Heart Association guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science.Real clinical situation was designed by using the third generation SimMan of Norway laerdal company.Trainees were administered two tests before and after training,in which there were two parts containing specialized operation ability and non-technical ability.Overall qualification rate,average mark and treatment time of qualified teams were compared before and after the training.SPSS 16.0 software was used to analyze the data and P ＜0.05 signifies statistically significance.Results Overall qualification rate,average mark and treatment time of qualified teams were 71.43％,(84.70 ± 3.15),and (449.25 ± 77.0) s respectively before training while 100％,(93.55 ± 3.86) and (323.71 ± 42.26) s after training.There were significant differences in results of two groups before and after training (P =0.002,0.000,0.000).Conclusions Application of the third generation intelligent simulator (SimMan) in comprehensive training will obviously improve training effectiveness and cultivate the non-technical ability.

Objective To explore the optimal timing of termination of pregnancy,we analyzed the different gestational age in repeat cesarean delivery and maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods This was a retrospective study.The information of cesarean sections was collected from maternal obstetric records in the electronic medical recording system of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 1,2011 to June 30,2013,and women with intrauterine viable singleton pregnancies delivered after 37 weeks of gestation without prenatal complications were selected.They were divided into five groups with different gestational weeks.Maternal general information,perioperative outcome and rate of neonatal adverse event were analyzed with one way ANOVA analysis and Chi-square test.Results A total of 579 cases of elective repeat cesarean at term were performed.The ratios of cesarean section prior to 39 and 39-39+6 weeks of gestation were 64.6％ (374/579) and 29.0％ (168/579),respectively.No fetal,neonatal or maternal death occurred.There were no statistically significant differences in the termination of pregnancy at 37-37+6 weeks,38 38+6 weeks,39-39+6 weeks,40 weeks and ≥ 41 weeks between the two time intervals for cesarean section (P＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the length of hospitalization [(4.9±3.0),(4.3 ± 1.3),(4.3 ± 1.0),(4.5± 1.2) and (4.0±0.7) d,respectively; F=2.849,P＜0.05].No significant difference was observed in the maternal BMI,placental membrane residue,maternal perioperative bleeding,premature rupture of membrane (PROM),intensive care unit (ICU) admission and uterine resection (P＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences among the five groups in neonatal weight [(3 082.9±479.2),(3 318.1 ±390.8),(3 415.7±431.1),(3 630.5±475.2) and (3 334.0±242.5) g,F=13.798] and length [(48.8± 1.5),(49.3± 1.5),(49.6± 1.5),(50.0± 1.5) and (47.8±3.9) cm,F=7.460; both P＜0.05].One min and 5 min Apgar scores also showed statistically significant differences [1 min:(9.7±0.7),(9.8±0.6),(9.8±0.4),(9.7±0.5) and (8.8±2.7) ; F=4.432; 5 min:(9.9±0.3),(10.0±0.3),(10.0±0.2),(10.0±0.2) and (9.2± 1.8),F=9.625; all P＜0.05].The overall rates of neonatal adverse events,including the admission to neonatal intensive care units (NICU),the rates of cardiopulmonary resuscitation or ventilator therapy,asphyxiation,as well as the length of stay in NICU ≥ 5 d among the five groups also showed statistically significant differences [overall:5.4％ (5/93),1.8％ (5/281),0.6％ (1/168),0.0％ (0/32) and 2/5,x2=16.812;NICU:3.2％ (3/93),1.1％ (3/281),0.0％ (0/168),0.0％ (0/32) and 1/5; x2=1 1.294; cardiopulmonary resuscitation or ventilator therapy:2.2％ (2/93),0.7％ (2/281),0.0％ (0/168),0.0％(0/32) and 1/5,x2=10.584; asphyxiation:1.1％ (1/93),0.7％ (2/281),0.0％ (0/168),0.0％ (0/32) and 1/5,x2=9.637; NICU ≥ 5 d:3.2％ (3/93),1.1％ (3/281),0.0％ (0/168),0.0％ (0/32) and 1/5,x2=1 1.294; P＜0.05].The risks of neonatal adverse outcomes in delivery at 37-38+6 weeks were:OR=1.1(95％CI:1.0-2.1) at 37 37+6 weeks,OR=1.3 (95％CI:0.9-1.9) at 38-38+6 weeks,compared with delivery at 39-39+6 weeks.Conclnsions The percentage of repeat cesarean delivery prior to 39 weeks of gestation is high in our hospital,early termination of pregnancy would not reduce the maternal perioperative adverse outcome,but may increase the risk of neonatal adverse events.Taking into account the maternal benefit,we suggest 39 39+6 weeks of gestation as the best time of elective repeat cesarean in order to reduce the risk of neonatal adverse events.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and the management of primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease PPNAD) and to evaluate its relationship with Carney complex. Methods One case of PPNAD reported. The patient was a 52 years oldmale. He was hospitalized because of hypertension for one year. The patient had a Cushing's face with elevated plasma and urine cortisone levels which could not be suppressed by both low dose and high dose dexamethasone tests. Ultrasonography howed normal bilateral adrenal glands. CT scan found a 1.6 cm × 2.0 cm mass in the left adrenal gland and normal on tralateral adrenal gland. Results The patient had accepted left laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The pathological examination onfirmed the diagnosis of PPNAD. Micro scopic study showed that there were black-gray spots in the center of the specimen. Hyperplasia was found in all the three adrenal zones. Lipofuscin was observed in the cytoplasm of reticular zone cells. The patient's blood pressure had returned to normal level after the surgery. Conclusions PPNAD is a rare type of ypercortisolism. As there is no specific feature in clinical manifestation and radiological examination of this disease, it is very easy to make a misdiagnosis in clinical practice. PPNAD itself can be the comorbidity of Carney complex, careful differentiation is needed.
