Objective To introduce a new septorhinoplastic method for twisted nose, humped nose and hawk nose as well as deviation of nasal septum, and to evaluate its operative method and effect. Methods The incision of cleft between lateral nasal cartilage and greater alar cartilage was employed in all patients. The method of unilateral mucoperiosteal flap osteotomy was used to correct nasal pyramid deformity, and swinging-door operation was performed to correct the deviation of nasal septum simultaneously. Results The operative results of 36 cases were effective and satisfactory. Postoperative follow-up ranged from one year to fifteen years. Based on the results of follow-up in the 32 cases, no recurrence and complications were found in all the cases. Conclusion This new method for septorhinoplasty avoids the detachment and move of nasal bone and nasal septum cartilage and injury of nasal mucoperiosteum, and maintains the blood supply of nasal bone and nasal septum cartilage. It corrects extero-nasal deformity as well as deviation of nasal septum. The operation is effective in nose aesthetic and ventilatory function.

Objective To observe the contrast sensitivity (CS) of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) without involving the macular region.Methods 92 BRVO patients (93 eyes) and 56 cases (112 eyes) without eye diseases (control group) were included in the study.According to different region,BRVO patients were divided into the nasal BRVO group (31 eyes) and temporal BRVO (62 eyes) group,and the average corrected visual acuity was 1.02 ± 0.13 and 0.98 ± 0.12 respectively.According to the type of ischemia,BRVO patients were divided into the nonischemic BRVO group (58 eyes) and ischemic BRVO group (35 eyes),the average corrected visual acuity was 1.01 ± 0.14 and 0.99 ± 0.12 respectively.The average corrected visual acuity of the control group was 1.03 ± 0.11.There was no statistically significant difference of the average corrected visual acuity between nasal BRVO group,temporal BRVO group and control group (F=3.03,P =0.06),and between nonischemic BRVO group,ischemic BRVO group and control group (F=1.60,P=0.20).Contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured by OPTEC 6500 vision tester (Stereo Company,USA) under the standard lighting conditions and different spatial frequencies including low (1.5 and 3.0 c/d),medium (6.0 c/d) and high frequencies (12.0 and 18.0 c/d).Results The CS under each spatial frequency of the nasal BRVO group was the same as the control group (t=4.25,9.48,3.08,5.86,0.94;P＞0.05),but the CS under each spatial frequency of the temporal BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.59,19.11,10.38,17.28,6.01;P＜0.05).The CS under high spatial frequency of the temporal and nasal BRVO group was statistically different (t=11.42,6.95;P＜0.05).The CS under each spatial frequency of the ischemic BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.88,10.56,11.64,19.06,6.67;P＜0.05).The CS under 6,12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the control group (t =10.14,11.54,2.82;P＜0.05).The CS under 12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the ischemic BRVO (t=7.52,3.84;P＜0.05).Conclusions The CS of the temporal BRVO and ischemic BRVO decreased more significantly under each spatial frequency.CS is a better indicator to evaluate the visual function than the visual acuity in BRVO without involving the macular region.

Background Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (PIHS) appears retinopathy.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and contrast sensitivity (CS) has been widely used in ophthalmology, but the application of OCT and CS in PIHS fundus lesions is less reported.Objective This study was to assess fundus changes of PHIS by using OCT and CS.Methods Two hundred and thirty-three eyes of 116 PIHS patients with fundus diseases were enrolled from January 2011 to January 2014 in the Cangzhou Central Hospital.One hundred eyes of fifty normal pregnant women were collected at the same period.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus examination, OCT, CS were performed on these subjects.The CS values and BCVA between normal pregnant woment and PIHS patients were compared by independent samples t test.The correlation between BCVA grade and CS grade, OCT grade and CS grade, OCT grade and BCVA grade was calculated by trend x2 test and Gamma rank correlation analysis.The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Cangzhou Central Hospital, all the subjects signed informed consent.Results OCT results showed that 172 eyes were abnormal (65.15％) ,including 94 eyes with neurosensory serous retinal detachment (54.65％) ,40 eyes with pigment epithelium and the ellipsoid zone change (23.26％) and 38 eyes with optic disc edema,retinal hemorrhage and other changes (22.09％).The CS values in each spatial frequency and the BCVA in the PIHS group were significantly lower than those in the normal control group (all at P ＜ 0.05).The OCT examination result was positively correlated with BCVA in the PIHS group (G=0.807,x2=93.418,both at P =0.000).The CS value under the 6.0 c/d had the best correlation with BCVA (G=0.820,x2=97.397, both at P=0.000).The OCT examination result was positively correlated with CS under the 6.0 c/d(G=0.932,x2 =126.376,both at P=0.000).Conclusions Combination of fundus examination,OCT and CS can objectively and comprehensively assess the morphology and function of retinopathy in PIHS patients,which provide the basis for the clinical diagnosis and timely treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of injection of citicoline into Zusanli (ST36) acupoint on neural function and expression of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in rats with traumatic brain injury. Methods 40 healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham-operated group (group A, n=8), acupoint injection of citicoline group (group B, n=8), acupoint injection of saline group (group C, n=8), intraperitoneal injection of citicoline group (group D, n=8) and intraperitoneal injection of saline group (group E, n=8). Opened brain trauma was induced with the modified Feeney method in the groups B, C, D and E, and were treated as design, once a day for 14 days. They were assessed with nervous function score and open-field test before and 8, 14, 15, and 22 days after injury. The expression of GAP-43 in the brain were detected with immunohistochemistry 28 days after injury. Results The nervous function scores and open-field test scores improved more significantly in the group B than in the groups C, D and E (P<0.05). The expression of GAP-43 increased in the group B than in the groups C, D and E (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupoint injection of citicoline into Zusanli may improve the expressions of GAP-43 to promote the recovery of neural function in rats after traumatic brain injury.

Objective To observe the effects of Chinese Traditional Medicine on cognitive functions in the early stage of traumatic braininjury (TBI). Methods 49 inpatients with TBI were divided into treatment group (n=25) and control group (n=24) randomly. The controlgroup accepted routine rehabilitation, while the treatment group accepted Chinese Traditional Medicine in addition. They were assessed withLoewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA) before and after treatment. Results All the scores of LOTCA of treatmentgroup significantly improved after treatment (P<0.01), as well as in control group except "Categories". Most scores of LOTCA improvedmore in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Chinese Traditional Medicine can improve the cognitivefunction after TBI.

Objective To explore the effect of early Chinese medicine intervention on motor function and balance capability of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods 55 cases of hospitalized TBI patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=27) and control group (n=28). The control group accepted routine rehabilitation program, while the observation group accepted Chinese medicine therapy in addition for 8 weeks. The motor function and balance capability were tested with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) respectively before and after treatment. Results The scores of FMA and BBS significantly increased after treatment (P<0.01), and they were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Chinese medicine combined with routine rehabilitation program is effective on motor dysfunction after TBI.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oropharyngeal decontamination combined with gastrointestinal excitomotor in preventing hospital-acquired lower respiratory tract infection(HALRTI)in elderly inpatients. Methods Totally 110 elderly inpatients with high risks of HALRTI were randomized into intervention group and control group. Patients of the intervention group were administrated by cetylpyridinium chloride gargle twice daily for gargling(20 mL for each), combined with moshabili three times daily orally(5 mg for each). Exact Sig. l-sided was performed to compare the occurence of HALRTI,and Spearman test was performed to evaluate the correlation between positive rate of the phyarynx swabs and the hospitalized time. SPSS 12.0 software was used for statistical analyzing. Results Patients suffered from HALRTI were 1 case(2.00%)in intervention group and 7 cases(13.73%)in control group respectively,and the difference was of statistical significance(P ＜ 0.05). As hospitalized time went on, the positive rate of the phyarynx swabs microbial culture in the control group increased(r = 0.450, P ＜ 0.05), while the intervention group showed no significant change during the whole intervention time(r = -0.023, P ＞0.05). Conclusion The combined intervention of oropharyngeal decontamination with the gastrointestinal excitomotor may be beneficial to elderly inpatients with high risk of HALRTI in the prevention of HALRTI.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect,adverse reactions and complications of transcatheter uterine arterial embolization (TUAE) therapy for leiomyoma of uterus with three different embolization agents: silk particles, pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion (PLE), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients of uterus leiomyoma were included, who undergoing TUAE treatment with silk particles(54 cases, silk particles group) ,PLE(40 cases,PLE group) and PVA(32 cases, PVA group) respectively.Adverse reactions and complications were recorded until 6-60 months after TUAE treatment.Measured the volume of the leiomyoma by ultrasonic inspection or enhanced computed tomography (CT).Results All clinical symptoms of three groups were relieved, and the volumes of uterus leiomyoma after TUAE treatment of 6,12,24 months in PVA group [(50.84 ± 30.77), (39.92 ± 25.72), (31.24 ± 30.60) cm~3]were less than those in PLE group[(76.24 ± 31.16), (58.21 ± 32.05), (52.48 ± 31.41 ) cm~3]and silk particles group[(69.22 ± 36.22), (68.31 ± 32.42), (68.01 ± 30.12) cm~3].The inferior belly and perineal region pain were most slight in silk particles group, but no significant difference in complications was observed in three groups.The symptom recurrence was 3 cases, 2 cases in silk particles group and 1 case in PIE group.Conclusions Clinical outcome of TUAE treatment with all the three embolization agents is acceptable.Adverse reactions and complications are associated with volume of the leiomyoma and the area being embolized.PVA is superior in prevention of complications and relapse of uterus leiomyoma after TUAE treatment.
