The efficiency of conservative treatment for cervical radiculopathy was retrospectively reviewed. Eighty-one patients were included; 40 patients presented with C7, 37 with C6, 2 with C5, and 2 with C8 radiculopathy. Seventy-eight patients underwent MRI examination prior to treatment, showing intervertebral disc protrusion in 71 cases, and spinal stenosis in 7. Eighty-one patients underwent a treatment wearing a cervical collar and home-based halter cervical traction: 5-6 kg for 20 minutes, once a day for 3 to 6 weeks. The mean duration of symptoms prior to neurosurgical evaluation was (43.0?8.3) days. Sixty-three (78%) of 81 patients responded to therapeutic traction, experiencing significant or total pain relief, three could not tolerate the traction, and traction failed in 15 patients. Three (1.89%) of the 63 patients undergoing traction treatment suffered recurrence of symptoms and required surgery.

The treatment principle for primary liver cancer referring as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in this article is comprehensive treatment based on radical hepatectomy. Focusing on improving the resection rate and reducing the recurrence rate after operation, the conversion therapy, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative adjuvant therapy have emerged to become potentially curative strategies and research hotspots. HCC is highly invasive and often complicated with cirrhosis, so comprehensive treatment is essential for better prognosis. However, due to the controversy of surgical indications and heterogeneity among individuals, the concepts and treatment methods of above three therapies, especially between the conversion therapy and the preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, remain overlap and puzzle sometimes. Moreover, because of the different therapy goals, the above three therapies are different in the selection of treatment methods, duration of therapy and evaluation criteria. Based on clinical practice, the authors investigate the progress and hot spots of the conversion therapy, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and post-operative adjuvant therapy of HCC, expecting more clinical evidence-based medicine to standardize the development of comprehensive treatment, so as to become a breakthrough to improve the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

?AlM: To analyze the quantitative changes of anterior segment by Pentacam anterior segment system and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness after implantable collamer lens ( lCL) implantation for high myopia.
?METHODS:Twenty- one patients with 39 eyes were implanted lCL in our hospital from September 2011 to February 2013. The follow-up was 6 ~ 12mo. Central anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) , anterior chamber angle ( ACA) , anterior chamber volume ( ACV) were measured by Pentacam preoperatively, 1wk, 1 and 6mo postoperatively. The distance between crystal lens and lOL ( lCL- vault ) were measured at 1wk, 1 and 6mo postoperatively. Preoperative uncollected visual activity ( pre - UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , postoperative uncorrected visual acuity ( post-UCVA) and intraocular pressure ( lOP) were recorded. The paired t-test was used to access the data preoperatively and postoperatively in the statistical way by using SPSS 18. 0 statistical software.
? RESULTS: Preoperatively, at 1wk, 1 and 6mo postoperatively, ACD were 3. 27±0. 22, 3. 02±0. 33, 2. 98±0. 31, and 2. 98±0. 32mm. ACA were (40. 39±5. 40)o, (26. 70±4. 47)o, (26. 96±4. 48)o, and (26. 95±4. 45)o. ACV were 207. 74±25. 43, 122. 87±17. 58, 128. 05±17. 84, and 128. 64±17. 50mm3 , respectively. There were statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative data in ACD, ACA, ACV (P<0. 05). The distances between crystal lens and lOL ( lCL-vault) were 0. 49±0. 13, 0. 46±0. 13, and 0. 46±0. 14 at 1wk, 1 and 6mo postoperatively. There were statistically significant difference between 1wk and the others (P<0. 05). There were statistically significant different between the preoperative BCVA and postoperative BCVA(P<0. 05). There was no contact between lOL and the crystal len. The anterior chamber angle was all open. There were no serious complications such as cataract, glaucoma, cystoid macular edema, retinal detachment, etc.
?CONCLUSlON:ACD, ACA, ACV by Pentacam anterior segment system are found to be decreased after the operation, but there is still a relative safe distance between lOL and the crystal len. lCL implantation is a safe, efficacy method in correcting high myopia, but the long-term effects will require further observation.

HPLC was applied to content determination of active components——chlorogenic acid and baicalin in Qingkailing Injection.This method is simple,rapid,involves good reproducibility,and can be as a reliable determination method for the quality control of Qingkailing Injection.The test conditions are as follows:detection wavelength at 340 nm,ODS C-18 chromatocolumn of stainless steel(3.9?30cm),mobile phase using methanol-water-tetrahydrofuran(25:57:18).

Objective: To study various preparation methods for Tongmai Oral Liquid.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise in puerperal women and nursing countenneasures.MethodsThe influencing factors for persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise in 120 puerperal women before June 2010 were analyzed,and they were set as the control group.According to the analysis results,targeted nursing countermeasures were developed,comprehensive care approach that combined nursing intervention with health education were applied in 116 cases of puerperal women from June 2010 to June 2011,who were set as the observation group.The situation of recovery for maternal pelvic floor muscle tension was observed.ResultsThere were four main factors that affected maternal pelvic floor muscle exercise:pelvic floor muscle exercise is not inspected as post-natal visits items,obstetric nurses did not carry out necessary propaganda,did not understand the importance of pelvic floor muscle exercise and lack of knowledge among the puerperal women.The test results for pelvic floor muscle tension were as followed:in the observation group Ⅰ degree was in 9 cases,accounting for 7.76％; Ⅱ degree was in 31 cases,accounting for 26.72％; Ⅲ degree was in 76 cases,accounting for 65.52％.In the control group,I degree was in 35 cases,accounting for 29.17 ％; Ⅱ degree was in 44 cases,accounting for 36.67％; Ⅲ degree was in 41 cases,accounting for 34.17％.The recovery effect of pelvic floor muscle tension in the observation group was obviously better than the control group,the difference was significant.ConclusionsFactors influencing the puerperal women in persevering in pelvic floor muscle exercise was various,personalized care and intervention according to the influencing factors can improve compliance of pelvic floor muscle exercise for puerperal women,contribute to the recovery of pelvic floor muscle tension.

Objective To explore the role of hemoglobin (Hb) level in mortality and morbidity of chronic kidney disease (CKD)patients,aiming to give some evidence for therapy of anemia.Methods Randomized,clinical trials (RCTs) were identified by searching Medline,Embase and the Cochrane library.All the analyses were performed using the Revman software available free from the Cochrane collaboration.Results Twenty-three trials involving 10 204 patients were identified.Overall,the high Hb target was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (RR=1.10,95％ CI 1.00 to 1.21),hypertension (RR=1.40,95％ CI 1.12 to 1.75),stroke and hospitalization (RR=1.07,95％ CI 1.00 to 1.14) compared with low Hb target (P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in the risks of non-fatal mycardial infarction (RR=1.13,95％ CI 0.79 to 1.62) and renal replacement therapy (RR =1.00,95％ CI 0.85 to 1.18).Conclusions Targeting low Hb target is beneficial to CKD patients based on reduced risk of hypertension,hospitalization,stroke and all-cause mortality.However,no significant difference is found in non-fatal mycardial infarction and renal replacement therapy.
