Objective To analyze the factors influencing the long-term allograft survival in cadaver- ic renal transplantation.Methods Parameter data were obtained from 249 patients who received immuno- suppressive agents after renal transplantation.Health resources were evaluated for 1-5 years;and 14 relevant factors,including age,sex,therapeutic regimen choice and complications,etc were analyzed.Life table method and COX regression model were used to analyze the risk factors influencing the outcomes and to calculate the survival rates.Results Following renal transplantation,the survival rates of recipients who lived for 1,2 and 3 years were 72.6%,56.0% and 40.8%,respectively;and the rates of those who lived for 4 and 5 years both were 22.5%.The median survival time was 34.9 month.With the therapy prolonged,the survival benefit in MMF group was superior to that in AZA group,with the median survival time being 38.9 months 30.6 months,respectively.COX regression model showed that the main predictive factors were treatment regi- men(P=0.000),follow-up period(P=0.000),patient's compliance(P=0.000),acute rejection episode (P=0.020),sex(P=0.001)and hospitalization period(P=0.040).Conclusions Life table and COX regression model are useful methods for evaluating long-term outcome and influencing factors in renal trans- plant patients.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of probiotic products on alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate(ANIT) induced intrahepatic cholestasis of rats.Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group(n=8),intoxication group(n=32) and intervention group(n=32).After 3 days adapted feeding,all rats received a single intragastric administration of ANIT(200 mg/kg) to induce acute intrahepatic cholestasis.Probiotics[4.2?108/(kg?d)] was given to intervention group 2 days before ANIT was administrated.After ANIT was given,biliary flow,alanine aminotransferase transaminase(ALT),total bilirubin(TB) and gastrointestinal hormone were recorded in every 48 h till 192 h.SPSS 12.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results 1.Forty-eight hours after ANIT was gavaged,the biliary flow of intoxication and intervention groups were lowered while ALT and TB were increased.But the above observation items of intoxication group were more significantly altered than those of intervention group.Then,they all recovered gradually.Those of intervention group returned to nearly normal levels 144 h after ANIT was gavaged while those of the intoxication group recover at 192 h.2.After ANIT was gavaged,MTL of intoxication and intervention groups was lowered while vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) increased.But the above items of intoxication group were more significantly altered than those of intervention group.Then,they all recovered gradually and the intervention group was much more early to returned to normal levels than the intoxication group at 192 h.Conclusions Probiotics can promote the bowel movement through increasing the secretion of gastrointestinal hormone,then relieve the cholestasis.

Purpose] This paper aims to summarize the clinical practice of using Buzhong Yiqi Decoction to treat the obstructed nine orifices. [Approach] After explaining Li Dongyuan’s theory that those obstructed nine orifices reflecting headaches and tinnitus are caused by intestines and stomach diseases,which is in his Suwen On Deficiency and Excess and analyzing several simple cases of using buzhong yiqi decoction to treat the obstructed nine orifices,this paper tries to trace the theoretical origin of Prof. Lian’s practice and present the practical experience of flexible usage of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction. [Result] The outcome of several patients under treatment shows that the short-and-mid-term treatment is very effective. [Conclusion] Prof. Lian’s philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine reflects his attitude that “those patients suffering from insufficiency of primordial Qi and clear Yang failing to distribute”or“clear Yang coming out of stomach”ask for strengthening the spleen and stomach so their stomach recovers to the healthy state. As a result,their Yang Qi has been greatly improved,the spleen and stomach in the middle energizer have returned to their original place,reaching the autonomous regulation of the nine orifices,which has shed some light on the usefulness of Buzhong Yiqi on treatment diseases other than those of spleen and stomach.

Objective To compare the curative effect and complication of traditional open thyroid operation and minimally invasive laryngeal endoscopic thyroid operation.Methods 80 cases with thyroid disease were randomly divided into group I and groupⅡof 40 cases in each group,the group Ⅰ received the minimally invasive laryngeal endoscopic thyroid operation, while the Ⅱ group was treated with traditional open thyroid operation.The operation time,intraoperative amount of bleeding,postoperative drainage,hospitalization time and complications of two groups were compared.Results The operation time,hospitalization time of groupⅠwere (63.1 ±0.2)min,(5.7 ±0.6)d, which were significantly shorter than those of the control group[(90.4 ±1.1) min,(8.4 ±0.2) d].Amount of bleeding,postoperative drainage volume after operation in groupⅠwere (19.2 ±0.9) mL,(30.4 ±2.6) mL,which were significantly less than those of the control group[(42.1 ±1.8)mL,(46.2 ±1.2)mL] (t=9.819,12.168, 11.182,9.928,all P <0.05);The incidence of postoperative complications of group Ⅰ was 2.5%,lower than 15.0%of groupⅡ,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(χ2 =13.197,P <0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive laryngeal endoscopic thyroid operation has advantages in little trauma,short opera-tion time,rapid postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the impact of health education and standard treatments on the life quality of asthmatic children.Methods We conducted clinic treatments of 110 cases of asthmatic children lasting for 6 months,which were divided into standard treatment and health education group with 60 cases and group without standard treatment and health education with 50 cases.We emphasized the education management on cases in experimental group,which strictly obeyed the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) to formulate classified treatments as well as regular follow-up.Control group received the same treatments as experimental group yet without emphasizing health education about asthma on parents,which was accompanied with irregular follow-up.We compared the before-treatment and after-treatment life-quality and lung functions of asthmatic children.Moreover,we used Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) to evaluate the before-treatment and after-treatment life quality of asthmatic children.Results After follow-up lasting for 6 months,the treatments of experiment group had obvious improvements (P ＜0.01).The improvements of peak expiratory flow (PEF) of lung function test and timed vital capacity of the first second (FEV1) of experimental group were also better than the improvements of these two metrics of control group (P ＜ 0.01).In addition,after 6 months,in both all dimensions of PAQLQ and total score,the differences between before and after treatment of experimental group were significant (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) ; and the differences between experimental group and control group were also significant in both all dimensions of PAQLQ score (12.4 ±2.1) and total score comparing to the control group (8.1 ±2.3),and the differences are also significant (t =2.5,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Health education and standard treatments significantly improved the life quality of asthmatic children with a good compliance of treatment and a low recurrence rate,which is worth of popularizing.
