ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of health education on the recovery of insight in schizophrenic patients. MethodThe insight of patients in health education and control groups was assessed by SAUMD and BPRS bdfore and 4, 8, 12 weeksafter trentment. ResultThe recovery of insight of health education group was significantly different from control group after treatment. Theinsight scores was significantly related to major symptom, cultural level and disease course. ConclusionThe health education for schizoprenicpatients was important in recovering insight and illness and promoting patients go back to society early.

Objective To explore the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH)and microvascular complications(diabetic nephrop-athy and diabetic retinopathy)in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods According to the condition of complicating with SCH,157 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into SCH group(40 cases)and the euthyroid group(117 cases). The age,sex,duration of diabetes,smoking status,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),blood lipid,renal function,thyroid function,urine albumin/urine creatinine, and fundus examination were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The relationship between SCH and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients was explored. Results There was no significant difference of age,sex,duration of diabetes,smoking,blood pressure,BMI, HbA1c,blood lipid,or serum creatinine between the two groups. The incidence of diabetic retinopathy in SCH group was significantly higher than those in euthyriod group(32.5%vs 14.5%,P=0.044);however there was no difference in the incidence of diabetic nephropathy. After adjustment for potential confounding factors(age,sex,duration,blood pressure,BMI,HbA1c,diabetic nephropathy)by multivariate logistic regression analy-sis,SCH was still the risk factor of diabetic retinopathy(OR=2.210,95%CI 1.512-4.117,P=0.032)in type 2 diabetic patients. Conclusion SCH could be a risk factor of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients,and there was no significant effect on diabetic nephropathy.

[Objective]To observe the growth pattern of oligodendrocyte precursor cells(OPCs) in the primary culture from neonatal rat cerebral cortices and study the methods of cell culture and isolation in order to obtain purified OPCs for the experiments of cell transplantation.[Method]The mixed glial cells from the cerebral cortices of 48-hour-old Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were cultured in vitro.Until 9-10 days in vitro OPCs were isolated and purified by the shaking process and differential adhesion,and then continued OPCs culture in the defined medium.The growth pattern of OPCs in vitro was investigated by contrast phase microscopy and OPC s were further identified with the immunocytochemical techniques.[Result]The distinct stratification of OPCs and astrocytes developed around 9-10 days in primary culture.At this point,the OPCs scattered on the top of the monolayer astroctyes and the soma of most OPCs typically appeared oval or round with two or three processes.The purity of the isolated OPCs reached 95% and these OPCs further developed into the mature oligdendrocytes which were immunoreactive to the specific antigen of oligodendrocyte lineage cells,Oligo2.[Conclusion]OPCs separated from the cerebral cortices of neonatal SD rats can be maintained as immature precursor cells in culture,and OPCs are able to be purified by shaking and differential adhesion under the condition of appropriate cell stratification.

Objective To study the clinical effect of Xianglian in Mixture (Mixture of Nutgrass Galingale Rhizome and Golden Thread) in treatment of premature beat accompanied anxiety disorder.Methods Totally 100 patients of premature beat accompanied anxiety disorder were randomly assigned into two groups.The 50 patients in the treatment group were treated with Xianglian Mixture and the 50 in the control group were treated with Rytmonorm and Alprazolam for 4 weeks.The TCM symptom scores,premature beats in Holter,scores of Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and the therapeutic effect on all these indices of both groups were observed.Results After treatment,the TCM symptom scores,premature beats in Holter,scores of HAMA of both groups were decreased significantly (P0.05).Conclusion Xianglian Mixture can reduce premature beats and relieve anxiety as well.

Human promyelocytic leukemia HL - 60 cells labelled with 3H - inositol were treated with vincristine (VCR), it was found that the radioactivity of 3H-phosphatidyl inositol - 4-phosphate (PIP) and 3H - Phosphatidyli-nositol - 4,5 - bisphosphate(PIP2) had no obvious change, but that of 3H-phosphatidyl inositol (PI) decreased rapidly, only accounted for 38. 55%~61.01% of the control during 1~ 120 min of the treatment. It showed that VCRdid not affect the activity of PI kinase and PIP kinase, but enhanced the hydrolysis of PI of HL - 60 cells. The inhibitorty effect of VCR upon cell proliferation and DNA synthesis was observed after above biochemical changes,these results suggest that VCR may inhibit HL-60 cells proliferation by interfering the metabolism of phosphoininositides.

0.05). Conclusion Isthmus is an essential structure to determine the size of femoral component. The dimension of isthmus correlates fairly well with the size of femoral stem. As a measurement to choose the appropriate femoral implant in total hip arthroplasty, the isthmus-method has the similar accuracy as the common templating.

Aim: To develop marine microporous osmotic pump tablets and to investigate drug release in vitro of the optimized formulation and the release mechanism.Methods: Wet granulation and film-coating were used to develop marine micro-osmotic pump tablets.In vitro release studies were applied to evaluate the impacts of various factors on the release of the formulation.Central-composite design was exploited to aid the optimization of the formulation,and the mechanism of in vitro release was characterized.Results: There existed fairly good reproducibility in the preparation of marine micro-osmotic pump tablets.It was found that no change in the release rate of the tablets were elicited by the pH of the release media,the rotating speed selected,the hardness of the tablet core,and the amount of the plasticizer incorporated into the coating formulation.It was proved that the release of marine micro-osmotic pump tablets was closely related to the magnitudes of NaCl amount in the tablet core and the pore former in the coating formulation as well as the coating level.In addition,there existed 12-hr zero-order kinetics in the in vitro release study of the tablets.Moreover,it was shown that the osmotic pressure-controlled delivery is greatly responsi-ble for the release of the developed tablets.Conclusion: The prepared marine microporons osmotic pump tablets are expected to be a new sustained-release medication.

OBJECTIVE To ensure safe operation of medical equipment through raising procurement staffs′ awareness of safety and quality control in the process of purchasing medical equipment and exerting fine control of safety and quality throughout procurement. METHODS To sum up regulations,rules and ways on the safety and quality control at all links in the process of purchasing.RESULTS The acceptance rate of quality inspection of introduced medical equipment was 100% and the operating rate of equipment for the annual working hours was 95%.In 2002,our work together with other departments work in our hospital passed the proof of ISO9000. CONCLUSIONS They can not keep hidden safety perils of medical equipment outside the gate of the purchasing and can not ensure the safe operation of medical equipment and its vital role in every medical activity,unless purchasing staffs observe all purchasing regulations and rules and exert fine control of safety and quality of the purchasing.

The core event of cell proliferation is DNA replication and cell division. DNA topoisomerase type Ⅱ plays an important role in this process.As a cell proliferating marker,DNA topoisomerase type Ⅱis caught great attention. The authors review the recent research of NDA topoisomerase type Ⅱ and its value evaluated as a cell proliferating marker.
