ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the cause constituents of neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia and the clinical efficacy and safety of blood exchange transfusion treatment .Methods 142 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia conducted the blood exchange transfusion therapy .The levels of serum total bilirubin ,indirect bilirubin and direct bilirubin and the change of blood routine indica-tors were analyzed before and after blood exchange transfusion .Results The main causes leading to neonatal severe hyperbilirubi-nemia were bacterial infection(28 .20% ) ,glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD) deficiency(27 .50% ) and pregnant women with ABO blood group incompatibility (16 .20% ) .The levels of serum total bilirubin ,indirect bilirubin ,direct bilirubin and blood routine indicators after operation in neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia were significantly lower than those before operation , the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The total bilirubin swap exchange was (54 .40 ± 9 .90)% .The intraoperative adverse reactions rate was 3 .50% .The postoperative thrombocytopenia occurrence rate was 72 .00% .Conclusion The blood ex-change transfusion for treating neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia possesses has clinical significance ,but the hematology and bio-chemical indicators monitoring should be strengthened for avoiding adverse reactions occurrence .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in treating myelo- suppression induced by chemotherapy for multiple myeloma (MM), and to discuss the effect of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in preventing and treating the adverse reactions of chemotherapy.Method Forty-four MM patients with myelosuppression induced by chemotherapy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 22 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by ginger-partitioned moxibustion, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of Leukogen tablets, both for 14 d. The white blood cell (WBC) count was observed before the treatment, on treatment day 7 and 14, and 1 week after the intervention; the incidence of nausea and vomit and clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 81.8% in the treatment group versus 63.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P0.05); there was no significant difference in comparing the WBC count 1 week after the treatment between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomit in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group after the treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Ginger-partitioned moxi- bustion can effectively treat myelosuppression due to chemotherapy for MM, and it can significantly increase the WBC count.
ABSTRACT
group was (1.20 ± 1.09),(1.09 ± 1.04), (0.86 ± 0.42), (1.89 ± 1.30) and that of the control group was (2.40 ± 1.87), (2.34 ± 1.71), (1.60 ± 1.33),(3.49 ± 1.72) respectively, which had statistical significance between the two groups (t=3.139-4.390, P<0.01). the Blood CRP values and CRP positive rate in the observation group, were (6.34±2.74) and 17.14%(6/35) respectively and which of the control group were (10.35±7.37) and 42.86%(15/35), the difference of the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.881, P<0.01 andχ2= 5.250, P < 0.05). Conclusions Topical treatment of acute cellulitis with honey can effectively improve the clinical symptoms, reduce the level of c-reactive protein, which is better than magnesium sulfate wet compress.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the accuracy of ultrasound-guided 16G and 18G core needle biopsy for detecting ultrasound visible breast lesions with different sonographic features.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 955 sonographically detected breast lesions examined with ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (US-CNB) and subsequently surgically excised from July 2005 to July 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Histological findings of US-CNB and the surgical specimens were analyzed for agreements, sensitivities, false negative rates, and underestimate rates according to different sonographic features.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The pathological results of the US-CNB showed malignant lesions in 84.1%, high-risk lesions in 8.4%, and benign lesions in 7.5% of the samples. The overall agreement rates were 92.4% for 16G CNB and 92.8% for 18G CNB; their complete sensitivities and false negative rates were both 98.6% and 1.4%, respectively; the high-risk underestimate rates and DCIS underestimate rates were 48.0% and 46.2% for 16G CNB vs 53.3% and 41.2% for 18G CNB, showing no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.01). For both 16G and 18G CNB, the agreements were better for mass lesions than for non-mass lesions (P<0.01). For the mass lesions with a diameter no greater than 10 mm, the agreement rates were lower than the overall data (P<0.01). Calcification in the lesions did not affect the agreement rates (P>0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ultrasound-guided 16G and 18G CNB are both accurate methods for evaluating ultrasound visible breast mass lesions with a diameter larger than 10 mm.</p>
