Objective To elucidate the value of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosis of lung cancer.Methods Report of 210 cases and literature were reviewed.Results The positive rates of FNAC were greater than those of other methods and the positive results were believable.To unite FNAC and biopsy can improve the rates of diagnosis.Conclusions Those of accompanying with superficial lymph node would be done FNAC and biopsy as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of VEGF, CD44v6 and Ki67 in non-small cell lung carcinoma.Methods:The expressions of VEGF,CD44v6 and Ki67 in NSCLC tissue of 62 cases were studied by immunohistochemical staining.Results:All the positive rates were higher than matched normal lung tissues, P

Objective:To discuss the types of allergens and the positive rate of these patients suffering from bronchial asthma.Methods:25 patients with chronic bronchitis (CB) were studied as compared with 66 patients with bronchial asthma (BA).The spin prick test (SPT) was used.Results:(1) Positive allergy skin test:20.0% in CB and 87.9% in BA.There was significant difference between the two groups( ? 2=39.16, P

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of nerve growth factor(NGF)on the airway inflammation of asthmatic mice.Methods Male SD rats(n=24)were randomly divided into the control group(group A),the asthmatic group(group B),the anti-NGF group(group C),8 mice in each group.The total cell count and classified count of cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were performed.The pathological changes of the lung tissues were detected by HE staining.The concentrations of IL-4,IFN-? and NGF in BALF were measured by ELISA.The mRNA expression of IL-4,IFN-? and NGF in the lung tissues were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the group A,not only the number of the total cells and classified cells in BALF significantly increased(P0.05).Conclusion NGF may play a key role in the formation of airway inflammation in the asthmatic rats by promoting the secretion of Th2 cytokines.

Objective To investigate the in-vitro antibacterial effect and sterility test of Danshen injection(DI). Methods Three kinds of in-vitro antibacterial and bacteriostatic methods were used to investigate the in-vitro antibacterial effect of DI and to establish its sterility test according to the results of the antibacterial effects. By validation test, the validity of its sterility test was evaluated. Results The results of doubling dilution test showed that the minimum bacteriostatic concentration of DI is 0.098 mg/mL, and its minimum bactericidal concentration is 1. 563 mg/mL in ethanolsulfate medium and 0.195 mg/mL in nutrient meat soup medium. Rate of recovered bacterium was much more than 80% by membrane filtration method. Conclusion DI has strong in-vitro bacteriostatie effects for staphylococcus aureus and the effectual method of its sterility test is membrane filtration method.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of E cadherin (E cd) and proliferation related antigen Ki67 and their roles in the mechanism of invasion and metastasis of non small cell lung carcinoma(NSCLC). Methods The expression levels of E cd and Ki67 antigen were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of E cd in the cases of Ⅲ Ⅳ stage and Ⅰ Ⅱ stage were 33 3% and 65 7%, respectively, but those of Ki67 were 96 3% and 68 6%. The expression levels of E cd and Ki67 in cases with metastasis were significantly different from those in cases without metastasis. Conclusion The expression levels of E cd and Ki67 are closely associated with invasion and metastasis of NSCLC. The expression level of E cd is negatively correlated with that of Ki67 in NSCLC.

Cavernous transformation of the portal vein in children is a non-hepatic disease of portal hypertension.Color Doppler flow imaging was performed in 7 children with cavernous transformation of the portal vein.All cases were operated and diagnosis was confirned by pathology.The accuracy of diagnosis reached 100%.Some of these cases were examimed by portogram and CT.Three types of sonographs were classified by CDFI:I-extrahepatic I-intrahepatic and extrahepatic;II-intrahepatic.It is suggested that the combination of characteristic color Doppler flow and reahime appearance of cavenous transformation is virtually diagnostic.

Objective To learn the influence on the outcome of the pregnant by measuring the type Ⅲ antibody of Group B Streptococcus(GBS). Methods During December 31, 1997 to December 31, 2000, 28 pregnant women whose GBS screening were positive were selected as study group while 46 negative as control group. Vaginal swab cultures were conducted in 74 pregnant women at different gestational periods(before 20 gestational weeks, 20~28 weeks and after 34 weeks). After birth maternal and cord blood samples were collected immediately for the test of GBS IgG antibody with ELISA method. Results 28 of 74 women(37.8%)were GBS culture positive in the antenatal screening. The obstetrical complications such as gestational diabetes millitus, impaired glucose tolerance test, fetal growth retardation, premature rupture of membrane, threatened premature labor and asphyxia of newborn have no significant difference between the GBS carrier group and non-carrier group. The result was same for the newborns. The antibody(IgG)of GBS value of the 74 pairs of maternal and cord blood samples showed that the values of IgG in maternal blood samples and cord blood samples were (3.1?2.2) mg/L and (2.3?1.8) mg/L, respectively,r=0.86,P

Objective To evaluate the role of TVS in assessing endometrial pathology in women with postmenopausal bleeding and in evaluating the depth of myometrial invasion in endometrial carcinoma.Methods A group of 111 women with postmenopausal bleeding were examined by TVS,endometrial thickness,echotexture,blood flow characteristics were evaluated.Results An endometrial thickness less than 5 mm was associated with normal or benign condition.This suggested that endometrial biopsy or curettage might not be necessary in this situation,visualization of abnormal blood flow within the endometrium in the endometrial carcinoma with mean resistance index constituted a statistical difference compared with that of benign endometrium(P<0.05).TVS accurately detected depth of myometrial invasion in endometrial carcinoma,and had significant relation with pathologic assessment(r=0.98,P<0.001).Conclusion TVS could be implemented as a routine first-step procedure in patients with postmenopausal bleeding.

Objective To explore the effects of lamotrigine (LTG) on cognitive function and the quality of life (QOL) in patients with partial epilepsy. Methods Twenty six patients with newly diagnosed partial epilepsy were randomly divided into 2 different groups using oral administration of LTG and carbamazepine (CBZ) respectively. By neuropsychological test scores and the Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory (QOLIE-31) The cognitive function and QOL were assessed before and 16 weeks after the treatment. A battery of neuropsychological tests comprised WAIS digital span test (WDST), verbal fluency test (VFT), trail making test (TMT, parts A and B), stroop color word test (SCWT), Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), delayed logical memory test, delayed optical memory test, arithmetic ability and digital symbol conversion test. Results The repeated assessments for the patients taking LTG were associated with significant improvements in many domains. When comparing the results at the end of 16 weeks with the baseline results, the verbal fluency were improved, the time of trail making test parts A and B were shortened, the WCST correct number and classification were improved, and the persistent error number and operation time of WCST were declined as well, digital symbol conversion was increased, delayed logic memory and optical memory were improved (t=3. 043, -3. 287,-2. 543,3. 167,3. 028,-2. 191, -3. 216,3. 061,3. 036, 3. 021 ,all P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). When comparing the efficacy of LTG with the CBZ group, the time of stroop color word test was shortened, digital symbol conversion was increased and arithmetic ability was improved (t= 3. 167,2. 142,2. 101, P<0.01 or P<0. 05). Compared with the baseline, both LTG group and CBZ group showed that the overall QOL, overall health, cognitive function and social function scores were improved (LTG group: t= 3. 321,2. 462,3. 294,3. 512;CBZ group: t=3. 314, 3. 149,3. 294,3. 202,all P<0.05). When comparing LTG group with CBZ group after therapy, cognitive function and social function scores were obviously improved (t = 2. 257,2. 140, both P< 0. 05), and the worry about seizure declined (t=2. 147,P<0. 05). Conclusions LTG may improve the cognitive function and QOL in patients with newly diagnosed partial epilepsy.
