Objective We evaluated the role of a quality improvement initiative in improving clinical outcomes in peritoneal di-alysis ( PD) . Methods In a retrospective analysis of 6 years of data from a hospital registry, the period between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2008 ( control group) provided baseline data from before implementation of systemic outcomes monitoring, and the period between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2011 [continuous quality improvement (CQI) group] represented the time when a CQI program was in place.Per-itonitis incidence, patient and technique survival, cardiovascular status, causes of death, and drop-out were compared between the groups. Results In the 370 patients of the CQI group and the 249 patients of the control group, the predominant underlying kidney diseases were chronic glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy.After implementation of the CQI initiative, the peritonitis rate de-clined to 1 episode in 77.3 patient-months from 1 episode in 22.6 patient-months.In the CQI group, the complicance of blood pressure was more significantly improved than the control group ( 67.8% vs 47.4%,P<0.05).During the 3 years of follow-up,cardiothoracic ratio and IVST were significantly increased in the control group [0.55 ± 0.08 vs 0.51 ±0.05,P<0.05,11.07 ±1.66 mm vs 10.25 ±1.38 mm, P<0.05〗.The difference of LVID between the two groups was signifi-cant at the 2nd and 3rd year of follow-up(P<0.05).Patient survival at 1, 2, and 3 years was significantly higher in the CQI group (97.3%, 96.3%, and 96.3%respectively) than in the control group (92.6%, 82.4%, and 67.3%respectively, P<0.001).Imple-mentation of the CQI initiative also appeared to significantly improve technique survival rates:95.6%, 92.6%, and 92.6%in the CQI group compared with 89.6%, 79.2%, and 76.8%in the control group (P<0.001) after 1, 2, and 3 years respectively. Conclusion Integration of a CQI process into a PD program can significantly improve the quality of therapy and its outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR and CT examinations in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and compare 2008 staging system with 1992 staging system and 2002 UICC staging system for NPC. Methods MR and CT images of seventy-six cases with NPC were studied. According to 2008 staging system and taking MR as a standard, differences between these two examinations were evaluated under the new NPC staging system, and three staging system were compared by MR findings. Results MR was inconsistent with CT in eveluating invasion of medial pterygoid muscle(22,24 cases), lateral pterygoid muscle( 15, 11 cases), skull base(35, 32 cases) and intracranial fossa( 11,6 cases), but no statistical diffence existed ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). There were statistical difference ( P ＜ 0. 05 )between MR and CT in determining invasion of parapharyngeal space( 50, 61 cases), retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis(48, 23 cases), stage T1 (18, 11 cases), T2 (15, 22 cases), N0 (18, 24 cases) and N1(33, 27 cases) with differences of 11 cases, 25 cases, 7 cases, 7 cases, 6 cases and 6cases respectively.For invasion of parapharyngeal space, CT showed 11 cases more than MR while 5 cases were comfirmed as compression by local tumor and 6 cases were proved as retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis according to MR. For retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis, MR presented 25 cases more than CT. These two reasons above mainly caused the differences of T-staging and N-staging. For 2008 staging system, when compared with 1992 staging system, there were 9 cases upstaging and 1 case downstaging in T classification, 16 cases upstaging in N classification, and 15 cases upstaging and 1 case downstaging in clinical classification; and when compared with 2002 UICC staging system, there were 7 cases, 10 cases and 12 cases upstaging in T,N, and clinical staging respectively. Conclusions Compared with MR examination which was regarded as standard by 2008 staging system of NPC, there were some differences in demonstrating invasion of parapharyngeal space and retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis by CT. Compared to 1992 staging system and 2002 UICC staging system, 2008 staging system mainly made T and N classification of tumor upstage,resulting in upstaging in clinical classification.

Objective To compare the effects of four different analgesic techniques on hyperglycemia and stress response to abdominal hysterectomy so as to select a more reasonable analgesic model. Methods Forty-eight patients were randomly divided into four groups: groupⅠreceived 0.2% ropivacaine+fentanyl 2 ?g/mL+ 0.008% ondansetron for PCEA; groupⅡreceived fentanyl 8 ?g/mL+ 0.008% ondansetron for PCIA; groupⅢ received 0.2% ropivacaince+tramadol 2 mg/mL+0.008% ondansetron for PCEA and groupⅥ received tramadol 8 mg/mL+ 0.008% ondansetron for PCIA. The four groups all included loading dose of 5 mL, bolus of 1mL with lock time of 10 minutes and background 1 mL/h. The level of blood glucose, insulin and cortisol were observed at five points: before anesthesia, at 2nd hour, 24th hour, 48th hour and 72th hour after the end of surgery. Results All the four analgesic techniques produced satisfactory pain relieve. Hyperglycemia was inhibited more efficiently in groupⅠand group Ⅲ than in groupⅡ and groupⅥ(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of preloading the epidural space with normal saline (NS) on the incidence of injury to blood vessel by epidural catheter placement for cesarean section. Methods One hundred and fifty parturients with a single baby at full term in vertex presentation scheduled for cesarean section under continuous epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 50 each): Ⅰ group control; Ⅱ group NS needle attached to a 5 ml syringe. Loss of resistance was used to identify the epidural space. In group Ⅰ no fluid was injected into the epidural space before insertion of catheter; while in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ NS 5 ml with or without whom blood or blood tinted fluid was withdrawn from epidural catheter was recorded. Results The number of patients in whom blood or blood tinted fluid was withdrawn from epidural catheter was significantly lower in group Ⅱand Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ but was not significantly different between group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Conclusion Preloading the epidural space with 5 ml NS can reduce the incidence of injury to blood vessel induced by insertion of epidural

Objective To investigate the value of perfusion CT in the evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Sixty-seven patients with Ib2-IIb squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix underwent CT perfusion imaging before neoadjuvant chemotherapy to measure blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),peak time (MTT),permeability sur-face (PMB),perfusion time to peak (TTP)and MIP(HU);and underwent routine enhancement CT after the two course of neoadju-vant chemotherapy treatment to measure tumor size,and evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results Among 67 patients,48 patents were effective (2 completely remission and 46 partial remission),and 1 9 patients were ineffective (1 5 stable and 4 progressed),with the overall response rate of 71.6%.The differences of PMB and BV value between effective and ineffective group were statistically significant before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P <0.001).The BF,MTT,TTP value were no significant difference between effec-tive and ineffective group before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P >0.05).The BV and PMB value were relatively higher in the patients with effective chemotherapy.Conclusion CT perfusion imaging could measure the BV and PMB value of the tumor before neoadju-vant chemotherapy to provide the basis for treatment selection.

Objective To evaluate 3.0T MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and ADC value in diagnosis, histological grade, tumor staging and short-time therapeutic outcome of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (CCRCC). Methods DWI of 51 patients of CCRCC confirmed with surgery and pathology were retrospectively reviewed. ADC values of tumors and the corresponding areas of lateral normal renal parenchyma were measured. Taking ADC value at 1.8×10~(-3) mm~2/s as a cut-off value, the patients were divided into two groups. The tumors' histological grade, T-staging, clinical staging, tumor short-term control rate within 1 year follow-up were compared between the two groups with statistical test. Results Statistical difference of ADC value was observed between CCRCC ([1.778±0.582]×10~(-3) mm~2/s) and those of normal renal parenchyma ([2.314±0.223]×10~(-3) mm~2/s) (P<0.01). ADC values of 24 patients were less than 1.8×10~(-3) mm~2/s and those of 27 patients were more than or equal to 1.8×10~(-3) mm~2/s. There were statistical differences in histological grade, T-staging, clinical staging, tumor short-term control rate within 1 year follow-up between the two groups (P＜0.01). Conclusion 3.0T MR DWI can accurately differentiate CCRCC from normal renal parenchyma. Quantitative analysis of ADC value is helpful to evaluate the histological grade, tumor staging and short-term therapeutic outcome of CCRCC.
