Objectives To analyse the predisposing cause and clinical manifestasion of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) complicated with multiple organic failure (MOF),in order to diagnose early and management timely.Methods 537 diabetic patients admitted in our hospital from 1997 to 2000 were included in this cases retrospective study. 182 cases of them complicated with DKA or DKA complicated with MOF (58) were further analyzed by cause, clinical manifestation, number of organs in MOF and the prognosis. Results Analysis showed that the main cause of MOF in DKA patients was infection (84 5%). The higher incidence of MOF in older DKA patients than those of younger. The possible involved organs in MOF were kidney, heart and brain etc. Involving organs of MOF were much, the mortality was closely correlated with the number of involved organs. Conclusions The possible way to reduce the incidence of MOF in DKA patients is intensive preventing and treating infection. To avoid MOF occurring in DKA patients, complications of kidney, heart and brain should be timely diagnosed and managed.

Objective To investigate clinical significance of soluble CD30/CD30L and CD40/CD40L system imbalance in ovarian serous tumors.Methods 40 patients of serous cystadenoma and 30 patients of serous cystadenocarcinoma were selected,and 40 age-and weight-matched healthy women were also recruited as the control group.Peripheral venous blood (3 ml) of the healthy control and patients with ovarian serous tumors before surgery and 7 days after surgery were collected.After separation of serum,ELISA was used to detect levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L.Results Compared to the control group,levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups were significantly in creased (P＜0.05).And in those serous cystadenocarcinoma group,levels of such soluble proteins were much higher than in serous cystadenoma group (P＜0.05).7 days after surgery,levels of such soluble proteins were significantly decreased in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Detection of serum sCD30/sCD30L and sCD40/sCD40L is possible to have a certain guiding significance to early diagnosis of ovarian tumors and the prognosis of patients.

BACKGROUND: In the research, the recipe for kidney tonification is prepared into "topical form" and "oral form". According to the interrelationship of "acupoints-meridans and collaterals-internal organs-target organs", osteoporosis is treated by the approaches of point compress and oral application respectively. According to the traditional theory of Chinese medicine, it is to infer that the herbs bring the adjustment into play by"being attributive to kidney meridian", but,whether does the specialty of herbs on "targeting medication" happenpractically or not? Hormones in "hypothalamus-pituitary- target gland" system is assayed to further analyze estrogen receptor and androgen receptor of target organs,such as kidney,bone, uterus, thyroid gland and testis so as to observe the relativity between "tropism and receptor".DESIGN: Complete random design with the objects of osteoporosis rats, and the control experimental study with kidney tonification recipe administrate with different approaches.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effect of kidney tonification recipe on pituitary-thyroid axis in experimental osteoporosis.SETTING: College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Chinese-Western integrated Basic Experiment Room of Hebei Medical University from January 2000 to December 2004. Sixty SD healthy female rats of 3-month old were employed,weighted(300 ± 20) g. The experimental animals were provided by Hebei Experimental Animal Center. After bred routinely for 1 week in Experimental Room, the rats were randomized into 6 groups,namely normal control(10rats), pathological model group(10 rats), infusing group(10 rats) in which kidney tonification recipe was applied based on 0. 8 g/100 g body mass,acupoint paste on bladder meridian group (10 rats), acupoint paste on kidney meridian group(10 rats) and paste on non-meridian group(10 rats). METHODS: Osteoporosis model was prepared with injection of dexamethasonc. Antagonism osteoporosis acupoint paste(AOAP)on acupoints and non-neridian places was administrated to compare with oral recipe for kidney tonification in the treatment of osteoporosis. It took the changes in serum estrogen, bone density, calcitonin/parathyroid hormone(CT/PTH), thyrotropic hormone(TSH), freeT3andfreeT4asthemeasuringindexes. Immunocyto-chemistry stain and morphological measurement of TSH cell,follicular adenoma of thyroid gland(C cell) and thyroid globulin(Tg) were applied in pituitary gland and thyroid gland to observe the therapeutic results.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Adjustment of the recipe for kidney tonification on thyroid function. ② Adjustment of the recipe for kidney tonification on bone density.RESULTS: AOAP improved the levels of estrogen, CT/PTH, TSH, free T3and free T4, increased bone density. The counts of TSH cell, C cell and Tg positive reaction substance were increased and they were colored deeply.CONCLUSION: AOPA, by "multiple relevant convergence reaction", adjusts and affects systematically the endocrinal function of bone metabolism,improves the levels of estrogen and CT/PTH, reverses the declining tendency of pituitary-thyroid axis function and improves thyroid function so as to weaken osteocyte in the bony absorption, enhance osteoblast in osteogenesis and increase bone density.

Objective To investigate the mutation phenomenon of 20 autosomal STR loci in Henan Han population. Methods A total of 3011 parentage confirmed cases were collected to screen mutation events, ascertain the source of mutation, calculate mutation rate, analyze mutation rules and compare with the mutation condition of populations in different regions. Results 76 mutation events were observed in 19 STR loci, the average and accumulative mutation rate reached to 0.08% and 1.6629%, respectively. The ration of paternal versus maternal mutation was 8:1. Mutation rates of Penta E and D12S391 loci in Henan Han population were lower than the Han population of northern China(P<0.05); the mutation rate of CSF1PO locus were lower than Guangdong population and Yunan Han population(P<0.05); the mutation rates of D6S1043 and D12S391 loci were lower than Guangdong population(P<0.05). Conclusion STR mutation events were common in paternity testing. Region differences among mutation rate were significant.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of berberine, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)eradication.Methods From December 2015 to April 2016,566 patients with initial treatment of H.pylori infection were prospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into observation group (berberine, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth) and control group (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, lansoprazole, bismuth), 283 cases in each group, and the treatment courses in two groups were both 14 days.Four weeks after completion of the treatment, the eradication rate of H.pylori and adverse effect rate of the two groups were compared.Student t test and Chi square test were performed for comparison between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline demographic data including gender,age, body mass index (BMI), symptom score between patients of the two groups (all P>0.05).Four weeks after completion of the treatment, the eradication rates of observation group and control group were 87.5%(244/279) and 87.1%(242/278) according to per-protocol analysis, and which were 86.2%(244/283) and 85.5 %(242/283) according to intention-to-treat analysis.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2=0.021,0.058;both P>0.05).The adverse effect rates of the two groups were 12.5%(35/279) and 16.5%(46/278), and there was no statistically significant difference (x2=1.795,P=0.180).Conclusions Both the new quadruple regimen containing berberine, amoxicillin and bismuth, and the standard quadruple regimen containing clarithromycin, amoxicillin and bismuth both can effectively eradicate H.pylori infection.The new regimen might be recommended as first-line eradication regimen in Xi′an district or area with high clarithromycin resistance.
