胎心监护不同图型对胎儿预后的评价

目的：通过研究胎心监护不同图型与脐血血气分析和新生儿Apgar评分关系来探讨早期诊断胎儿宫内缺氧的方法。方法：随机收集足月单胎产妇144例在产前做胎心监护,分娩时测脐动脉血气,出生后行Apgar评分,结果：随着脐血pH值降低,胎心监护异常图型及新生儿Apgar低评分发生率越高。胎心监护正常提示胎儿宫内情况良好的准确性达80．73％,在胎儿监护异常图型中,以pH≤7．20作为缺氧标准诊断符合率为50．82％,而以Apgar评分＜7分作为诊断标准的符合率仅为27．87％,各种胎心监护异常图形对胎儿预后影响差异有显著意义,P＜0．005,结论：正常胎心监护图型预报胎儿预后好的准确率高,胎心监护异常时,应严密监护,根据胎心率异常的程度,胎儿能够娩出的时间,选择恰当的处理方法,即可减少围产儿病率及死亡率。     

基于电子鼻技术的不同品质鹿茸饮片气味特征分析

目的:基于电子鼻技术对不同品质鹿茸饮片气味特征进行分析与表征。方法:采用PEN3型电子鼻系统,分析22批鹿茸样品的气味特征,以对传感器响应值为指标,进行传感器区别贡献率分析(Loadings)、主成分分析(PCA)、线性判别分析(LDA)。结果:Loadings分析表明,5个传感器对鹿茸饮片气味特征具有较好的响应,不同规格鹿茸饮片气味差异贡献率主要体现为氮氧化物类、甲烷等短链烷烃、有机硫化物、醇醚醛酮类、芳香成分、无机硫化物等成分;PCA表明不同品种与规格鹿茸饮片,其气味的差异性比较明显;LDA发现不同品种及规格鹿茸饮片(除梅花鹿白片与粉片外)样品的气味差异均较明显,表明构成气味的物质存在差异性。结论:电子鼻技术可阐明不同品质鹿茸饮片气味的物质基础;不同品质鹿茸饮片气味存在差异性可揭示鹿茸饮片气味的科学内涵并为其质量控制提供参考。     

Measurement of self-propulsion distance of wheelchair using cycle computer excluding assistance distance by touch switch: A pilot study

Objective: Although the propulsion distance of a wheelchair is measured by some devices, measuring self-propulsion distance, excluding assistance propulsion distance by the caregiver, is difficult. This is a pilot study conducted to verify whether the propulsion distance of wheelchair users, excluding the assistance propulsion distance, can be measured using a cycle computer by attaching the touch switch.Methods: The wheelchair propulsion distance was measured using a cycle computer. We connected the touch switch and the cycle computer to the wheelchair to exclude assistance propulsion distance. We set the cycle computer to stop recording while the caregiver was touching the sensor. To confirm the propulsion distance using the cycle computer, the volunteer propelled the wheelchair on a rectangular facility with a total distance of 181 m, and the examiner confirmed the propulsion distance. The validation test to confirm the accuracy of the touch switch attached to the cycle computer was performed on a 50-m straight runway. The volunteer and caregiver propelled the wheelchair alternately by 10 m and continued until 50 m. The examiner confirmed the distance after 50-m propulsion.Results: In the 181-m rectangular facility, the propulsion distance that the volunteer propelled the wheelchair with the cycle computer was 180 m. In the 50-m straight runway, the propulsion distance was 30 m with caregiver assistance for 20 m.Conclusion: The present study showed that our modified device could measure the self-propulsion distance, excluding assistance propulsion distance in wheelchair users.     

Therapeutic effects of the combined androgen blockade therapy versus luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog monotherapy in patients with hormone naïve metastatic prostate cancer: a multi-institutional comparative analysis

BackgroundThe clinical benefit of the combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy over luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LH-RHa) monotherapy for hormone naïve metastatic prostate cancer (mHNPC) is unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively compare the effectiveness of CAB with the LH-RHa monotherapy on the prognosis of Japanese patients with mHNPC.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated the prognosis of 517 patients diagnosed with mHNPC between August 2001 and May 2017. The patients’ data were obtained from the Michinoku Urological Cancer Research Group database and Hirosaki University-related hospitals. Patients were divided into the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups based on primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and castrate-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CRPC-FS) were compared between the two groups using the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox hazard proportional analyses was performed to investigate the effect of primary ADT on oncological outcomes.ResultsThe median age was 73 years old. The numbers of patients in the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups were 447 and 70, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed no significant differences in either 5-year OS (56.7% vs. 52.5%, P=0.277), CSS (61.1% vs. 56.4%, P=0.400), and CRPC-FS (33.1% vs. 31.1%, P=0.529) between the groups. IPTW-adjusted multivariate Cox hazard proportional analyses showed no significant differences in OS, CSS, and CRPC-FS between the two groups.ConclusionsNo significant differences in oncological outcomes were observed between the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups in patients with mHNPC.
