Objective: Zhiyu presciption is composed of Whitmania pigra (Whitman) and Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. etc. It treats mainly for diabetic peripheral neuritis. To study the pharmacologic effects of Zhiyu prescription in this paper. Methods:The analgesic effect of Zhiyu presciption was examined through writhe method in mice, and the functions of Zhiyu prescription on extrinsic thrombosia and platelet aggregation in normal rats were observed. The model of alloxan induced diabetes in mice was established, the effect of Zhiyu prescription on blood glucose level was detected. The functions of nervus electrophysiology were examined on the model rats of diabetic peripheral neuritis induced by streptozotocin. Results: Zhiyu prescription could decrease the numbers of writhes of mice caused by acetic acid, reduce the blood glucose level in alloxan induced diabetic mice, improve the nervus conduction velocity of motor nerve.Conclusion: Zhiyu prescription is effective in clinical treatment of diabetic peripheral neuritis.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect between three cannulated screws and proximal femoral locking plate in treatment of femoral neck fracture.Methods A total of 75 patients were included,the three cannulated screws group contained 31 patients,and the proximal femoral locking plate group contained 44 patients.The clinical healing time,hip function score at last follow-up and postoperative complication were compared.Results All patients were followed up for 13-18 (15.3 ± 3.2) months.The excellent and good rate of proximal femoral locking plate group was 95.5％ (42/44),and three cannulated screws group was 83.9％(26/31),there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The clinical healing time of fracture and hip function score at last follow-up in proximal femoral locking plate group were significantly better than those in three cannulated screws group [(14.6 ± 1.7) weeks vs.(18.1 ± 4.9) weeks,(90.9 ± 3.5) scores vs.(82.3 ± 8.3) scores],there were statistical differences between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Proximal femoral locking plate provides short clinical healing time of fracture,stable fixation,good biomechanical properties and a low rate of postoperative complication in treatment of femoral neck fracture.It is one of the ideal methods in treatment of femoral neck fracture.

Objective To explore the life quality of postoperative patients after a hypertensive cerebral hem-orrhage in the basal ganglia and the factors influencing it, so as to provide evidence for improving the life quality of such patients. Methods A total of 128 patients were studied retrospectively. Their gender, age, occupation, mari-tal status, education level, place of residence and family size were tabulated, as well as whether or not they were liv-ing with their children, smoking or drinking alcohol. Their household income was recorded along with their clinical condition during surgery ( midline shift, blood loss, operative time, whether a hernia occurred, consciousness, and whether bleeding broke into the ventricles. The SF-36 health measurement scale was used to evaluate the patients′life quality, and the factors influencing it were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that: ( 1) Their physio-logical functioning ( PF) and global health ( GH) were mainly affected by age, marital status, family size, midline shift, quantity of cerebral hemorrhage, occurrence of herniation, consciousness and whether the hemorrhage broke in-to the ventricles. (2) Their physiological role (RP) was influenced by marital status, education background, household monthly income, midline shift, consciousness and whether the hemorrhage broke into the ventricles. (3) Pain (BP) was mainly affected by marital status and family size. (4) Social functioning (SF) was closely related to marital status, family size, consciousness and whether hemorrhage broke into the ventricles. (5) Their mental health (MH) was main-ly affected by the amount of bleeding, whether they were living with their children, the operation′s duration and whether the hemorrhage broke into the ventricles. (6) Their emotions (RE) were influenced by their consciousness and whether bleeding broke into the ventricles. (7) Their vitality (VT) was affected by their marital status, smoking, consciousness and whether the bleeding broke into the ventricles. Multivariate analysis showed that whether the hemorrhage broke into the ventricles was the most influential factor. Family size was also influential. Conclusions Age, number of family members, whether they are living with their children, and whether hemorrhage broke into the ventricles are all influen-tial in predicting the life quality of survivors of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the treatment status of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in Shandong province,by analyzing the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors.

METHODSClinicopathological and follow-up data of 1 165 patients with gastric GIST between January 2000 and December 2013 from 23 tertiary referral hospitals in Shandong Province were collected to establish a database. The risk stratification of all cases was performed according to the National Institutes of Health(NIH) criteria proposed in 2008. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were used for univariate and multivariate prognostic analyses.

RESULTSAmong 1 165 cases of gastric GIST, 557 were male and 608 were female. The median age of onset was 60 (range 15-89) years. Primary tumors were located in the gastric fundus and cardia in 623 cases(53.5%), gastric body in 346 cases(29.7%), gastric antrum in 196 cases(16.8%). All the cases underwent resection of tumors, including endoscopic resection (n=106), local resection (n=589), subtotal gastrectomy(n=399), and total gastrectomy(n=72). Based on the NIH risk stratification, there were 256 cases (22.0%) at very low risk, 435 (37.3%) at low risk, 251 cases (21.5%) at intermediate risk, and 223 cases (19.1%) at high risk. A total of 1 116 cases(95.8%) were followed up and the median follow-up period was 40 (range, 1-60) months. During the period, 337 patients relapsed and the median time to recurrence was 34 (range 1-60) months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 98.6%, 86.1% and 73.4%, respectively. The 5-year survival rates of patients at very low, low, intermediate, and high risk were 93.1%, 85.8%, 63.0% and 42.3% respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.000). Multivariate analysis showed that primary tumor site (RR=0.580, 95%CI:0.402-0.835), tumor size (RR=0.450, 95%CI:0.266-0.760), intraoperative tumor rupture(RR=0.557, 95%CI:0.336-0.924), risk classification (RR=0.309, 95%CI:0.164-0.580) and the use of imatinib after surgery (RR=1.993, 95%CI:1.350-2.922) were independent prognostic factors.

CONCLUSIONSThe choice of surgical procedure for gastric GIST patients should be based on tumor size. All the routine procedures including endoscopic resection, local excision, subtotal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy can obtain satisfactory curative outcomes. NIH classification has a high value for the prediction of prognosis. Primary tumor site, tumor size, intraoperative tumor rupture, risk stratification and postoperative use of imatinib are independent prognostic factors in gastric GIST patients.
