Objective To investigate the clinical value of butylphthalide in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods 120 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into study group and control group according to the method of random number table,60 cases in each group.The study group used butylphthalide on the basis of routine treatment,while the control group only received routine treatment.Main outcome measures included the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)table,activities of daily living Barthel index,blood viscosity,clinical curative effect and health related quality of life (HRQL)score.Results There was no significant difference in NIHSS score,Barthel score,blood viscosity and HRQL between the two groups on admission (P >0.05 ).When compared with the control group after 3 months,NIHSS score of the study group decreased significantly [(948 ±3.84)points vs.(14.38 ±3.29)points,t=5.395,P=0.000],Barthel score increased significantly[(84.44 ± 10.59)points vs.(75.89 ±8.39)points,t=3.854,P=0.015];blood viscosity decreased significantly[(5.09 ± 0.64)mPa.s vs.(648 ±0.71 )mPa.s,t =7.493,P=0.000];HRQL scores increased significantly [(80.47 ± 1 5.39)pointsvs.(69.58 ±14.39)points,t=4.395,P=0.002];clinical curative effect in the study group was significantly higher than control group (χ2 =6.122,P=0.013).Conclusion Butylphthalide is helpful to improve the prognosis and quality of life in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum insulin,lipid expression substances and breast cancer.Methods From January to August 2002,blood samples were collected from 90 patients with breast cancer,40 patients with breast benign disease and 100 healthy control subjects in Shanxi Province People Hospital.Serum insulin was measured by ELISA,serum leptin was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and serum lipid substances were measured by Biochemistry Auto-machine.Results The serum insulin,leptin and TG concentration were significantly higher,but the HDL level was significantly lower in breast cancer group than in the groups of breast benign disease and healthy control(P＜0.01,respectively);There was no statistically significant difference between postmenopausal and premenopausal women in patients with breast cancer and breast benign disease(P＞0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in serum insulin level between positive lymph node breast cancer and negative lymph node breast cancer(P=0.642);The relative risk (RR) of serum insulin level and body mass index(BMI) in breast cancer group was 0.164(P＞0.05).The increased serum insulin level was independent of diet and other known risk factors for breast cancer;Multiple logistic regression analyses observed a statistically significant association between serum insulin,leptin,TG and HDL levels and breast cancer,OR=1.120(95% CI:1.017～1.209),1.117(95% CI:1.046～1.193),OR=1.879(95% CI:1.148～3.076),OR=0.035 (95% CI:0.007～0.162),respectively.Conclusion The increased serum insulin,leptin and TG levels may be the risk factors of breast cancer.The increased serum HDL level maybe the protective factor of breast cancer.

In recent years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer shows rising trend and higher mortality. Pancreatic cancer lacks early diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and specificity, and the surgical resection rate is 10 %-20 % with high operation mortality, poor long-term curative effect and less than 5 %survival rate within 5 years. At present, researchers indicate that radiotherapy can improve the quality of life, increase tumor local control rate and prolong the overall survival time of patients with pancreatic cancer in different levels. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), as a functional imaging technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is the only way to react cell levels. This paper will summarize the application of DWI in radiotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) in the treatment of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy.Methods 108 patients of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups.54 cases in the control group were treated with cydiodine buccal tablets at first,then received the aerosol treatment which was prepared by mixing gentamicin,dexamethasone,2 ％ lidocaine and physiologic saline,three times per day.54 cases in the treatment group firstly received the gargle which was prepared by mixing rhGM-CSF,dexamethasone and physiologic saline,then were treated with rb-bFGF by spraying on the oral ulcer surface,three times per day.Results The effective rate of the treatment group was 96.30 ％ (52/54),which was significantly higher than that of the control group [64.81％ (35/54)],there was a significant difference between the two groups (x2 =17.08,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The effect of rhGM-CSF combined with rb-bFGF in the treatment of oral ulcer caused by chemotherapy is very significant.

Objective:To understand the depressive and anxiety condition of Han and Korean climacteric residents in community.Methods:1262 climacteric residents including 639 Korean and 623 Han residents selected from eight neighborhood communities were investigated with a Health-Investigating Scale(self-made),the Center for Epidemiological Survey Depression Scale(CES-D) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS).Results:According to CES-D,there were totally 127(10.12%) met the criteria of depression,in which 69(54.3%) were Korean and 58 were Han(45.7%).By SAS,391(32.24%) residents in which 240(61.4%) Korean and 151(38.6%) Han had anxiety symptoms.Stepwise multi-factorial regression analysis revealed the major factors related to depression were:nationality,income,drink,personality and employed,those related to anxiety were nationality,personality,drink,income and health.Conclusions:There are more depression and anxiety in Korean climacteric people than in Han.

Bipolar disorder is a common, highly disabling psychiatric disorder characterized by early onset, frequent episodes, high suicide risk, and chronic outcomes, and is associated with severe social dysfunction. The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder is still unclear, and current studies mainly focus on circadian rhythm abnormalities, including rhythm gene mutation, polymorphism, abnormal kinase expression, and rhythm abnormalities in neurotransmitter secretion and transport. It has been found that at any stage of bipolar disorder, whether prodrome, episode, or remission, patients exhibit circadian rhythm disruptions, including disrupted sleep-wake cycles, hormonal phase abnormalities, and irregular social rhythms. Based on this mechanism, the time therapy, such as light therapy, dark therapy, sleep deprivation and behavioral intervention, can rapidly improve the circadian rhythm of patients with bipolar disorder, achieve the goal of rapid relief of symptoms, with fewer side effects, low risk of switching to manic. In this paper, circadian rhythm mechanism, clinical manifestations and chronotherapy of bipolar disorder are reviewed to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
