Purpose To investigate epidemiology and clinical features of tumors and tumor-like lesions of the foot and ankle,as well as prognosis of malignant tumors.Methods A total of 170 patients,surgically treated for bone and soft tissue tumors of the feet and ankle between 1984 and 2009 in a tertiary referral center specializing in orthopedic oncology,were enrolled in this retrospective study.The age,gender,clinical feature,tumor types,anatomical sites,the correlation between tumor size and tumor types,and the prognosis of malignant tumor were analyzed.Results There were 91 males and 79 females,aged from 7months to 76 years (average,33.1 years).There were 51 cases of bone tumor and 119 cases of soft tissue tumor.Benign tumors commonly occurred in the second and third decades of life,with an average age of 29.54years,while most malignant tumors occurred in patients aged between 40 and 59 years,with an average age of 43.73 years.Skin lesion was a symptom implying malignance.Soft tissue tumor and benign tumor were the most common types in the foot and ankle.Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath was the most common type among benign soft tissue tumors; subungual exostosis and enchondroma were the most common types among benign osseous tumors; while melanoma and synovial sarcoma were the most common types among malignant soft tissue lesions.Both primary and metastatic bone tumors were very rare.Forefoot was the most common site where foot and ankle tumors happened.There was no correlation between tumor size and types of soft tissue tumor,while there was a high correlation between tumor size and types of bone tumor.Among 44 patients with malignant tumor,16 patients underwent limb salvage surgery,while 28 patients underwent amputation.The mean duration of follow-up was 32.4 months.Six patients survived with no evidence of disease.The 5-year survival rate was 16.13%.Conclusion Benign and soft tissue tumors are the most common tumors in the foot and ankle.Most malignant tumors occur in patients over 40 years of age.Skin lesion is a useful symptom in diagnosing malignant tumor.Forefoot is the most common site where tumor happened.There is a high correlation between tumor size and tumor types.The prognosis of malignant tumor is very poor.

1H NMR-based metabolomic approach combined with multivariate statistical analysis was used to evaluate the quality of 21 Farfarae Flos (FF) samples from different growth regions. Principal component analysis showed that wild and cultivated FF could be separated clearly, suggesting a big chemical difference existed between them. Supervised PLS-DA analysis indicated that the wild samples showed higher levels of secondary metabolites, such as bauer-7-ene-3β, 16α-diol, chlorogenic acid, rutin, 7-(3'-ethylcrotonoyloxy)-1α-(2'-methyl-butyryloxy)-3, 14-dehydro-Z-notonipetranone (EMDNT), tussilagone, β-sitosterol and sitosterone. This is consistent with traditional experience that the quality of wild samples are better than that of cultivated ones. The content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids senkirkine also differed greatly among samples from different habitats. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that senkirkine is positively correlated with 4, 5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, rutin, kampferol analogues, to a statistically significant extent. The correlation between the toxic compounds and the bioactive components in FF should be further studied.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with traction therapy for lumbar disc herniation, providing the basis for future research strategies. Randomized control trials. (RCT) of acupuncture combined with traction therapy for lumber disc herniation at home and abroad from 2000 to 2013 were searched, analysis and evaluation of literature and strength of evidence were based on the principles and methods of Evidence-based Medicine. The total effective rate and curative rate were considered as primary outcome measures; pain improvement, quality of life, relapse rate and adverse effects were considered as secondary outcome measures. Seventeen RCTs were identified, Meta-analysis showed that (1) total effective rate and curative rate: acupuncture combined with traction therapy was better than single therapy (acupuncture or traction); (2) pain improvement: acupuncture combined with traction therapy was better than traction therapy; (3) relapse rate: current evidence could not support the conclusion that acupuncture combined with traction therapy was better than traction therapy. Acupuncture combined with traction therapy for lumbar disc herniation was effective. However, the included studies were with high risk of bias, important outcome measures such as quality of life, relapse rate and adverse effects were not found in most of the studies. Current evidence has not yet been able to fully reflect acupuncture combined with traction therapy for lumbar disc herniation is better than single therapy, so more RCTs of higher quality are needed to further confirm its efficacy and safety.

Objective To analyze the relations between medical students' burnout and some related factors for providing some suggestions for educational practice. Methods A total of 80 medical students were investigated and assessed by organizational justice questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS). Results Some subjects were found to experience job burnout.Means of total distributive justice were significantly lower than medians.Means of participation and complaint mechanism were not discrete to medians.Means of motional exhaustion and cynicism were significantly lower than medians.Means of reduced professional efficacy were significantly higher than medians.Conclusion Job burnout existed among interns from non-211 and 211 Project universities.Medical students should establish scientific view of profession through psychological lessons,lectures,simulated diagnosis,clinical practice and self-sentience.

In this paper, optimization of the conditions of microwave technique in extraction process of Guizhi Fuling capsule in the condition of a pilot scale was carried out. First of all, through the single factor experiment investigation of various factors, the overall impact tendency and range of each factor were determined. Secondly, L9 (3(4)) orthogonal test optimization was used, and the contents of gallic acid in liquid, paeoniflorin, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, benzoyl paeoniflorin, amygdalin of the liquid medicine were detected. The extraction rate and comprehensive evaluation were calculated with the extraction effect, as the judgment basis. Theoptimum extraction process of Guizhi Fuling capsule by microwave technology was as follows: the ratio of liquid to solid was 6: 1 added to drinking water, the microwave power was 6 kW, extraction time was 20 min for 3 times. The process of the three batch of amplification through verification, the results are stable, and compared with conventional water extraction has the advantages of energy saving, time saving, high efficiency advantages. The above results show the optimum extracting technology of high efficiency, stable and feasible.

Objective To assess the accuracy of mixed venous oxygen saturation ( S(-v)O2 ) in reflecting the change in CO during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) .Methods Twenty-five NYHA Ⅰ -Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 50-75 yr, weighing 55-85 kg, undergoing OPCABG, were studied. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, etomidate and pipecuronium and maintained with propofol infusion and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and pipecuronium supplemented with isoflurane if necessary. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8-10 ml/kg, RR 8-10 bpm, I:E 1:2). PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg.Radial artery was cannulated and pulmonary catheter was placed. CI, S(-v)O2 and Hb were monitored and recorded before skin incision, during anastomosis with left anterior descending artery (LAD), right coronary artery (RCA)and left circumflex coronary artery (LCX), when the chest was closed, when the patients' body position was changed and the heart was manipulated. S(-v)O2 and CI were scaled immediately after the pulmonary artery catheter was placed and before anastomosing LAD. Results The CO change in S(-v)O2 was real-time and accurate in reflecting the body positioning and elevation of hearts. There was no simultaneous significant change in CI.Conclusion The CO change in S(-v)O2 is real-time and accurate in reflecting the body positioning and elevation of hearts during OPCABG.
