Cryptococcal meningitis is a common and refractory central nervous system infection,with high rates of mortality and disability.The experts of the Society of Infectious Diseases of Chinese Medical Association have reached this consensus after a thorough discussion.Based on the current situation of cryptococcal meningitis in China,the management of cryptococcal meningitis includes 6 aspects:introduction,microorganism identification,clinical manifestations and diagnosis,principles of antifungal therapy,treatment of refractory and recurrent meningitis,treatment of intracranial hypertension.There is not a separate consensus on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients with cryptococcal meningitis.This article focuses on different antifungal regimens and reducing intracranial pressure by reference to Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) guidelines.The importance of early diagnosis,combined long-term antifungal therapy,control of intracranial hypertension are emphasized.

Objective To examine the relationship of coping style,psychological capital and vocational selection anxiety for female college graduates.Methods A sample of 330 female college graduates filled out measures for the simplified coping styles questionnaire (SCSQ),Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and vocational selection anxiety Questionnaire(VSAQ).Results Correlation analysis showed that except the self-efficacy and positive coping style collected with concerns about job prospects was not significant (r=-0.08-0.05,P>0.05),each dimensions of PCQ and SCSQ significantly correlated with the each dimensions of VSAQ (r=-0.44--0.13 or r=0.21-0.28,P<0.01).Regression analysis showed that negative coping style,resilience,hope and positive coping style could directly predict vocational selection anxiety.Psychological capital were the mediators between positive coping styles and vocational selection anxiety.Conclusion Coping styles and psychological capital are closely related to the female college graduates' vocational selection anxiety,using appropriate coping styles and improving mental ability can effectively reduce vocational selection anxiety.

Objective To investigate the effects of somatostatin (SST) on levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-αduring CPB in pigs. Methods Twenty four healthy pigs were randomly divided into control group (SS00) and 3 experimental groups, SS05, SS10 and SS20. All pigs were performed by CPB for cardiac arrest in 45 min. the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-αwere tested and compared. Results The TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were higher than T0 among all groups after CPB(P<0.05);The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 after CPB in SS10, SS20 groups were lower than SS00 group(P<0.05), and the IL-10 level was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Infusing with a certain dose of SST before CPB could down-regulate acute inflammatory response;SST has no impact on the operative safety.

Background and objective Platinum plus a third-generation agent doublet chemotherapy is the stan-dard regimen and ifrst-line chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). hTe aim of this study is to evaluate the effcacy and safety of docetaxel plus platinum (DP) compared with vinorelbine plus platinum (VP) regimens in patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and WanFang databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), in which DP regimen was compared with VP regimen. A quality assessment of qualiifed RCTs was performed according to Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0, and Stata 12.0 was used to per-form meta-analysis. Results Seven RCTs involving 2,318 patients were included. Meta-analysis results indicated that the DP regimen increased the two-year survival rate (HR=0.887, 95%CI:0.810-0.972, P=0.010), response rate (RR=1.276, 95%CI:1.107-1.450, P=0.001), and diarrhea rate (RR=3.134, 95%CI:1.918-5.121, P<0.001) compared with the VP regimen. Anemia rate was also reduced (RR=0.386, 95%CI:0.311-0.478, P<0.001). No statistical differences were observed between DP and VP regimens in terms of one-year survival rate, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Conclusion DP regimen reduced the rate of anemia and increased the rate of diarrhea, two-year survival rate, and response rate. hTerefore, DP regimen may be a more effective option as a ifrst-line treatment for advanced NSCLC compared with VP regimen.

Objective To compare the efficacy of α1 adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor or combination therapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),and to explore the application of multi-level statistical model in assessment of BPH treatments.Methods Pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) design was used.BPH patients received drug therapy including α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α reductase inhibitor,and combination therapy were followed up for 4 years.Multilevel statistical model was used to compare the scores of international prostate symtom score(IPSS) and BPH qality of life scale(QLS) among the 3 therapeutic regimens.Results The intra class correlation coefficients of I-PSS and BPH-QLS were 0.6136 and 0.6946 respectively,which indicated that both data were hierarchical structured.During the follow-up period,scores of IPSS and BPH-QLS were improved along with the drug therapy in 3 regimens.There was curve relationship between treatment time and IPSS and BPH-QLS scores in 3 regimens (all P<0.05),and there was no significant differences in the trend of curves between the 3 regimens (P>0.05).Conclusions For BPH patients with moderate symptoms bothering the quality of life,α-adrenergic receptor blocker,5α-reductase inhibitor,or combination therapy are significantly effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.There are no efficacy differences among the 3 drug therapy during the 4-years follow-up.Compared with traditional analysis,multilevel statistical model is a more suitable and precise method for assessment of BPH treatments.

Chinese Mental Health Journal 2001;15(1):1-5
Objective: To investigate whether the ISCYC (Intelligence Scale for Chinese Young Children) is suitable for children aged 7 to 15. Method: The ISCYC used in this study consisted of 9 subtests. Some more difficult new items were added into 8 of the 9 subtests. The subjects were divided into 5 age groups, each had 20 male and 20 female. Results: The difficulty of 50% items ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. The average difficulty was 0.5. In more than 50% items, thediscriminate index was above 0.2. The split- half reliability of these subtests were from 0.76 to 0.95, most of them higher than 0.80.The means of raw score for subtasts increased with the age of subjects. Some items in Pattern Rotation were less difficult than needed. Conclusion: This study has fulfill the theoretical construction of ISCYC, whjch is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.
