The work of hospital management and evaluation began in 1991 in Shangtung.Up till 1995,the first phase has basically ended.From the three years of hospital evaluation,we find the prob- lems of superficial understanding of evaluation rules,hasty preparation of materials,etc.To solve the- seproblems,relevant documents must be well studied and hurried work avoided.Key points must be grasped with the guiding principle kept in mind.Defunct ideas must be scrapped with new ideas put into practice.A scientific evaluation is to render the evaluation conclusions authoritative and viable.Super- vision must be tightened.The point for evaluation is quality to.solve the problems of quality control and the monitoring of case history and illness specification.

Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen compared to placebo/no intervention on the prevention of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) in preterm infants.Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCT) or quasi-RCT comparing prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen versus placebo/no treatment for prevention of PDA in preterm infants were enrolled. The standard search strategy included electronic search and manual search. Electronic search was carried out in databases including PubMed,ScienceDirect, EMBASE, OVID, Cochrane Library, VIP Chinese Periodical Database and Chinese Digital Hospital Library (www. chkd. cnki. net) without language restriction. As a supplementation,references in previous reviews and studies identified as relevant had been examined by manual search. RevMan 5.0. 21 was used in the statistical analysis. Effects were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for continuous data while risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI for categorical data.Results Four studies qualified for this meta-analysis including three graded 4 and one graded 3 with Jadad scale. Prophylactic use of ibuprofen significantly decreased the incidence of PDA on day three (RR=0. 40,95 % CI: 0. 31-0. 51, P<0.01 ), the need for rescue treatment with cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors (RR = 0. 18,95 % CI:0. 07-0. 45, P = 0. 0003) and the need for surgical ligation (RR = 0. 34,95 % CI: 0. 14-0. 81, P =0. 02) in the prophylactic group. No significant difference of pulmonary, cerebral, gastrointestinal, and renal complications were found between the prophylactic and control groups. Conclusions Prophylactic intravenous ibuprofen significantly reduces the risk of PDA on day three, decreases the need for rescue treatment with cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors and surgical ligation without significant pulmonary, cerebral,gastrointestinal, and renal complications were seen in the prophylactic group. Due to the limits of evidences to date, prophylactic ibuprofen intravenously for prevention of PDA in preterm infants is not recommended.

Objective To evaluate the changes of platelet activity before and after anti-platelet treatment in pa?tients with coronary heart disease, and their responsiveness to clopidogrel through detecting the phosphorylation levels of va?sodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). Methods Twenty-eight cases of healthy people were selected as control group . Patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (CSA, n=95) were randomly divided into A (48 cases) group and B (47 cases) group,and were given clopidogrel 75 mg/d or 150 mg/d respectively;Patients with non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NST-ACS, n=67) were all given 300 mg loading dose of clopidogrel at the first time, then randomly divid?ed into C (33 cases) group and D (34 cases) group, and given clopidogrel 75 mg/d and 150 mg/d respectively. Blood were tak?en to examine the phosphorylation levels of serum VASP by ELISA before taking clopidogrel, at time point of loading dose and the fifth day of clopidogrel administration . Results Before treatment, phosphorylation levels of serum VASP were low?er in A, B, C, D groups than those in the normal control group(P<0.05). After treatment of clopidogrel for 5 days: ① In group A and group B ,phosphorylation levels of serum VASP did not change compared to that before treatment (P>0.05).②In group C and group D, phosphorylation levels of serum VASP were significantly increased at loading dose and the fifth day of clopidogrel administration than those before treatment (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in phosphory?lation level of VASP was lower group between group C and group D after serum treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusion The phosphorylation level of serum VASP was lower in patients with coronary heart disease than that in normal control group. Clopidogrel can improve the phosphorylation level of serum VASP in NST-ACS patients .

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanism of the aging deformity of tear trough through the anatomic study of the tear trough region.
METHODS13 adult cadaveric heads (26 sides), including 9 male heads (18 sides) and 4 female heads (8 sides), aged 22-78 years old, were used. Anatomic study was performed around the orbital, especially tear trough region, with microsurgery instrument under microscope( x 10 times). The lower orbicularis retaining ligament was dissected and exposed. The anatomic location was recorded and photographed.
RESULTS(1) The anatomic layers of the tear trough region contains skin, subcutaneous tissue, orbicularis oculi muscle, periosteal membrane. There is no subcutaneous fat above the tear trough, while it exists below the tear trough, called malar fat pad. (2) There is a natural boundary between the septal and the orbital portions of the orbicularis oculi muscle of lower eyelid at surface of the orbital bone. The natural boundary, projected on the body surface corresponds to tear trough. The width of boundary is (2.06 +/- 0.15) mm on the vertical line through inner canthus and (3.25 +/- 0.12) mm on the vertical line through the lateral margin of the ala. The septal portion and the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle began to merge in (16.56 +/- 0.51) mm to inner canthus. (3) There is ligament attachment in the medial, upper and lower orbital and no ligament attachment in the lateral orbital. Orbicularis retaining ligament of lower eyelid is divided into two layers. (4) The medial of the upper layer of the orbicularis retaining ligament in lower eyelid originates from orbital margin and from preorbital walls laterally in (16.10 +/- 0.43) mm to the medial of lateral orbital margin, through orbicularis oculi muscle and ends at the skin. The lower layer of the orbicularis retaining ligament of lower eyelid originates from preorbital walls through orbicularis oculi muscle and its superficial fat, then ends at the skin.
CONCLUSIONSThe length of tear trough is (16.56 +/- 0.51) mm, the width of tear trough is (2.06 +/- 0.15) mm and (3.25 +/- 0.12) mm on the vertical line through inner canthus and the lateral margin of the ala nasi respectively. The main reason of the aging deformity of tear trough attributes to the increased distance between the upper and lower layers of the orbicularis retaining ligament in lower eyelid, which is caused by loose of the orbicularis retaining ligament and its underlying fat atrophy or decline.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of non-immunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF). Methods The clinical data of 10 cases of NIHF in neonatal intensive case unit during January 2011 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The related literatures were reviewed. Results In 10 cases of NIHF (6 males and 4 females). the gestational age were 32-42 weeks, and the birth weight was 2.25-3.95 kg. Among them, there were 3 cases of infectious diseases (cytomegalovirus, Streptococcus agalactiae, and parvovirus infection, one case each), 2 cases of fetal cardiovascular abnormalities, 2 cases of chromosomal abnormalities, 1 case of abnormal thoracic structures, 1 case of twin transfusion syndrome, and 1 case of etiology unknown of fetal hydrops. The clinical manifestations showed that there were 8 cases with 2 or more areas of edema (or hydrops), and only 2 cases with skin edema. Finally, 6 cases were cured and discharged, 2 cases were discharged by themself, and 2 cases died. Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound is a reliable method for the diagnosis of NIHF. Fetal edema in early pregnancy, especially with congenital malformations, is recommended for termination of pregnancy. After birth, NIHF should be diagnosed promptly so as to avoid or reduce severe complications.
