Objective To study the role of chromoendoscopy with toluidine blue to diagnose gastric cancer and precancerous change.Methods572 cases were randomized into two groups.288 cases in testing group took gastroscopy with 0.1% toluidine blue sprinkles,while ordinary gastroscopy was applied in 284 cases of control group.We took biopsy in all of those cases for pathology examination.The biopsy was taken from heterochrome area if heterochrome area appeared in testing group,otherwise from suspected affection.ResultsDetection rate of gastric cancer of test groups(9.72%)was higher than that of control groups(5.28%).Both of the methods were significantly different(P

The addition of long-term noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) to a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program in stable patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can enhance the effects of PR, continuely improve exercise tolerance and dyspnea, stabilize pulmonary function, enhance health-related quality of life. Moreover, it maybe improve the prognosis of the patients with COPD. This article introduced the implement of the combination of PR and NPPV in stable patients with advanced COPD.

Objective: To optimize the allocation scheme of military medical equipments based on the characteristics of modern war and the progression of the military medical equipment of People's Liberation Army (PLA). Methods: Aiming to optimize the allocation of military medical equipment, we designed the integrated framework of the allocation system and analyzed the need of optimized allocation. Using the linear programming and queuing theory, we established the optimized allocation models for both medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments. Results: Based on the health service characteristics of military medical equipments, the optimized allocation models for medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments were successfully established. The application of the established models was studied in the medical service station of the division level. Conclusion: The optimized allocation scheme of military medical equipment has been proposed in the present study, which provides evidence for decision-making on the future development of military medical equipments of PLA.

BACKGROUND: Most cases of early-onset familial Alzheimer disease (AD) are associated with presenilin-1 mutation, which mainly occurs in the 5th and 8th exons. Except for the onset age and family history, sporadic AD is basically the same as early-onset familial AD regarding clinical manifestations and pathological characteristics. Is its pathogenesis also related to the mutation of presenilin-1 gene?OBJECTIVE: To probe into the relationship between sporadic AD and presenilin-1 mutation.DESIGN: Case control analysis based on clinical diagnosis.SETTING: Neurology Department of the First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Outpatients who came to the Memory Obstacle Clinic of the First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University between April 1998 and June 2000 but without familial history of AD were selected and divided into 3 groups: [1] AD group: There were 68 cases confirmed as probable having AD according to the clinical diagnostic standard of NINCDS-ADRDA. [2] Vascular dimentia (VaD) group: There were 25 cases confirmed as probable having vascular dimentia according to the clinical diagnostic standard of NINCDS-ADRDA. [3] Normal control group: There were 20 healthy elders (spouses of some patients in the above two groups)without dimentia.METHODS: The conventional phenol extraction method was used to withdraw DNA from peripheral blood, and polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SCCP) was applied to detect the mutation of the 5th and 8th exons in presenilin-1 gene.RESULTS: All the 5th and 8th exons in presenilin-1 gene were proved to be composed of two single strands and a double strand by PCR-SCCP analysis.No abnormal electrophoresis was found, suggesting no that mutation occurred.CONCLUSION: Sporadic AD differs from familial AD in pathogenicity;mutation does not occur or seldom occurs in the 5th and 8th exons in presenilin-1 gene, thereby cannot be considered as an important causive factor for sporadic AD.

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal formation of brain, a cerebral area related with learning and memory, is closely related to spatial cognitive activity.Peroxidative stress following the onset of cerebral ischemia can induce DNA injury in hippocampal 'area and dentate gyrus, the fall of the ability of DNA plerosis and correspondingly a decline in the function of learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hongjingtian on the expression of nucleic acid of hippocampal area and dentate gyrus, the learning and memory area of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College from April 2002 to April 2004. Totally 60 Wistar male rats were selected and divided randomly into 5 groups Model group: Rats were perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the same as that in medication group.METHODS: Rats in each group were perfused incessantly for 7 days.Modified Pulsinelli-4 vessel blocking method was used to reproduce the rat model of acute complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Rats in sham-operation group were not treated with the operation of burning vertebral artery and clipping common carotid artery. The changes of DNA and RNA expressions in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus were observed with acridine orange staining method after model establishment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of DNA and RNA in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats in each group.RESULTS: All 60 rats entered the final analysis. DNA and RNA in shamoperation group distributed evenly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was strong. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex was illegible and response intensity was obviously weak in model ly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was group was not of obvious difference as compared with that in model group.CONCLUSION: The illegibility of DNA and RNA fluorescent response in operation group is related with the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus is legihibit the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress and protect learning and memory function in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of small-axillary-incision esophagectomy combined with mechanical esophagogastric anastomosis for esophageal carcinoma.Methods From April 2005 to April 2007,56 patients with esophageal cancer underwent small-axillary-incision esophagectomy combined with mechanical esophagogastric anastomosis in our hospital.After thoracotomy was performed via a small axillary incision,the stomach and esophagus were separated.Circular stapler was used for esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy.The anastomotic segment was then enveloped and placed at the esophageal bed.Results The average length of the axillary incision was(13.2?1.6)cm(10-15 cm).No anastomotic leak and hemorrhage,injury to the laryngeal nerve,or chylothorax occurred in this series.53 of the patients were followed up for 4-16 months(mean,7.8 months),during which 1(1.9%)patient developed slight anastomotic stenosis,and 4(7.5%)had gastroesophageal reflux.Conclusions Small axillary incision causes less trauma to the patients leading to a quick recovery.By using mechanical cervical anastomosis,man-mad injuries to the anastomotic segment are avoided,resulting in a low rate of postoperative complications.

Objective To establish the quality standard ofQizhu-Fuzheng Yin, and to conduct a preliminary study on its stability.Methods Corydalis tuber and licorice were identified by TLC. The content of astragaloside was determined by UPLC-ELSD. The initial stability was studied by accelerated test method. Results The spots on TLC plates were clear without interference in the blank reference. The response of astragaloside was linear in the ranges of 36.5-365.0 μg/ml (r2=0.999 2), and the average recovery was 102.8 %, and theRSD was 2.4%. After 1, 2, 3, 6 months tests, the average contents of 3 batches astragaloside were 61.6, 60.4, 60.6μg/ml.ConclusionQizhu-Fuzheng Yin was simple preparation, quality control and stability.
