[Objective]To study the regulation effects of Oridonin on pulmonary artery pressure in pulmonary hypertension rats with hypoxia-hypercapnia and its mechanism.[Methods]SD rats were divided in to three groups randomly: the normal control group(NC),the hypoxia-hpercapnia group(HH),and the hypoxia-hpercapnia plus Oridonin group(O).The time of hypoxia-hypercapnia was 4 weeks.The mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP),right ventricular rate(RV/(LV+S)),percentage of thickness of pulmonary artery wall in vascular external diameter(WT%),percentage of pulmonary artery wall area in total vascular area(WA%),vitality of caspase3 and caspase9,expression cyt-c of each group were observed.[Results]The mPAP,RV/(LV+S),WT%,WA% in group HH were significantly higher than those in group NC(P

Renal scarring can cause hypertension, proteinuria, chronic kidney disease, and even end stage renal disease. To understand the risk factors of renal scarring in children is helpful for its early detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. High grade vesicoureteric reflux, recurrent urinary tract infection, and delayed treatment are risk factors for kidney scarring. However, there are still some controversies about the relationship between renal scarring and the some factors such as gender, age, and congenital factors. Recent studies have found that noninvasive urine indicators such as urine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipid delivery protein, urinary endothelin-1, and risk prediction models can predict the formation of renal scar. However, prophylactic use of antibiotics can reduce occurance of urinary tract infections, but do not reduce the risk of renal scarring. This article reviews the possible risk factors and predictors of renal scarring in children, providing a basis for early detection, timely intervention, and effective prevention of it in clinic, so as to reduce the formation and progression of renal scarring.

This article discussed the ancient and modern meaning of security of intense drugs for pregnant woman. And emphatically studied the meaning of the ‘gu’, pointing out that ‘gu’had three connotations, one referred to disease, second mean the original disease, with the ‘new’disease relative, the third referred to reasons. In addition, the article expounded how can be safe for the pregnant woman to use drugs with extremely intense action. In this paper, its purpose was to examine how to achieve security under circumstance of sick and fi nally achieve balance and harmony.

The arterial supply of the human sacrum and coccyx was studied on 56 fresh. cadavers of different ages by dissection, clearing, casting and radiography.All sacrums receive their blood supply from the lateral sacral arteries, the median sacral artery, the iliolumbar arteries and the fifth lumbar arteries. The median sacral artery, the lateral sacral arteries and their branches anastomose with each other and form the lattice anastomosis on the ventral surface of the sacrum.The anterior spinal canal branch bifurcates into an ascending and a descending branches. The former passes upwards to join the descending branch from the anterior spinal canal branch above it, they also anastomose with their contralateral counterparts, thus forming a rhombic system notable for its regularity.The posterior spinal canal branch also divides into an ascending and a descending branches and they join each other to dispose in a ladder anastomosis on the ventral surface of the laminae.The dorsal branch gives off three main sets of branches: the lateral, the medial and the muscular. The medial and the lateral branches both subdivide into an ascending and a descending branches and they anastomose with each other on the dorsal aspect of the sacrum.On the ventral surface, the coccyx obtains arterial supply from the median sacral artery and the lateral sacral arteries, while its dorsal surface mainly receives blood supply of the lateral sacral artery. Anastomosis has been found scarce on the ventral and dorsal surfaces of the coccyx.

Objective To analyze the clinical presentation and maternal neonatal outcome of 30 cases with HELLP syndrome and to discuss the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease. Methods 30 cases of HELLP syndrome were collected retrospectively including 19 cases of complete HELLP syndrome and 11 partial HELLP syndrome. The blood test, clinical presentations, complications and pregnant outcomes were analyzed. Results LDH value in complete HELLP group(CHG) [(622?481)U/L] was significantly higher than that in partial HELLP group(PHG) [( 369?101) U/L, P
