Imaging findings of cerebral fat embolism syndrome: a case report.

Cerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome is relatively rare in clinical practice. Currently, there is no uniform standard of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of the disease. In this report, we present head computed tomography and magnetic resonance images (T2-weighted images, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images, diffusion-weighted images, and susceptibility-weighted images) in a case of CFE.

Impacts of CD152 polymorphisms on cervical cancer susceptibility.

Aim: The objective of this study was to discuss the effect of CD152 polymorphisms rs231775, rs3087243 and rs5742909 on the susceptibility to cervical cancer.

Methods: The databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar Web, CNKI and Wanfang were searched for eligible studies. Chi-square-based Q test examined heterogeneity between included studies, and when P was less than 0.

[The effect of subglottic secretion drainage on prevention of ventilator-associated lower airway infection].

Objective: To assess the influence of subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) on the morbidity of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanically ventilated patients.

Methods: All studied patients who received mechanical ventilation (MV) estimated for more than 48 hours were intubated with a special type endotracheal tube with a small-bore cannula in the wall for SSD. The patients were randomly divided into two groups receiving SSD (group A) and usual care (non-SSD, group B) respectively.

[Effect of the pre-hospital systematic treatment on prognosis patients of with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning].

Objective: To investigate if the duration from poisoning to treatment (no treatment period) is related to the prognosis of patients with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (SAOPP).

Methods: One hundred and seventy-four patients with the pre-hospital systematic treatment served as the treatment group while 160 patients going to the hospital by themselves without treatment or rejecting gastrolavage served as the control group. Patients in both groups were treated by gastrolavage, pralidoxime chloride, atropine and other expectant treatment.
