Objective To explore the necessities and clinical value of acute intestinal obstruction with com-puted tomography of whole abdomen in over 80 years old patients.Methods 50 patients with acute intestinal obstruc-tion were diagnosed in department of emergency surgery and underwent the abdominal CT examinations.The clinical data,CT and surgery pathology of all patients were compared and analyzed.Results All cases were verified by surgi-cal operation and pathological diagnosis,including colorectal cancer(n =21)and incarcerated abdominal external her-nia(n =21),appendicitis(n =2),adhesive intestinal obstruction(n =2),intestinal volvulus (n =2),and intestinal intussusception(n =1)and stercoral intestinal obstruction(n =1),12 cases were accompanied by bowel necrosis and perforation.12 patients were treated by laparoscope surgery,38 cases by open laparotomy,48 patients acquired good recovery,and 2 cases died from extensive bowel necrosis and multi -organ failure.Conclusion CT examination in whole abdomen could rapidly and accurately diagnose the cause of intestinal obstruction,evaluate complications and risks,so as to provide reasonable treatment choice and time,making patients acquired the effective effects as soon as possible,reducing the bad consequences.

Objective To investigate the quality of life of elderly caregivers and its factors. Methods Elderly caregivers living in Changzhi City were enrolled in this study. 36-item short-form (SF-36) health survey and Activity of Daily Living Scale ( ADL) were used as study tools. The data was analyzed by statistical description,t test or multiple regression. Results Those with score of quality of life reaching 72. 1 to 117. 0 accounted for 98. 8%. The total score and score of eight dimensions of SF-36 showed statistically significant difference between different daily living activity groups ( P < 0.05) . The state of health and self-care ability of the elderly imposed a major impact on eight dimensions of SF-36. Age, sex, level of education, marital status and wage had different impact on each dimension of SF-36. Conclusion The quality of life of elderly caregivers is at a medium level. The main factors of quality of live of elderly caregiver are their state of health and self-care ability of the elderly.

Objective To investigate the status of life quality in the elderly in Shanxi Province Changzhi City, and to analyze its influencing factors. Methods The quality of life, activities of daily living and status of community services were measured simultaneously by 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Activities of Daily Living Scale, Community Healthy Needs Scale and survey results were used and analyzed using t-test, correlation and stepwise regression analysis. Results According to the criterion of life quality in the elderly which were proposed by Zhang Lei, the quality of life in the elderly scored 72. 1-117.0, reached 98.5%. The quality of life in the elderly was impacted by the ability of caring oneself, marital status, degree of culture, economic situation and so on. The demand rate for health guidance and periodic physical examination was higher. Conclusions The quality of life in the elderly is at a medium level. There is a wide gap between the demand of community healthy services and the utilization of community healthy services.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Premna fulva craib liniments and to establish a method for its quality control.METHODS:The liniments was prepared from yellowhairy premna stem,rhizoma drynariae,borneo and menthol in70%al-cohol solvent.Naringin in the liniments was identified qualitatively by TLC,and the content of naringin was determined by HPLC.RESULTS:Naringin was identified in TLC.The sample size of naringin showed a good linear relationship with its peak area in the range of0.51?g～2.55?g(r=0.9993).The average recovery was98.58%(RSD=1.31%).CONCLUSION:The preparation technology is practicable and the method of quality control is reliable.

Objective To study the protective effect of compound nitroglycerin gel on rats with skin ulcer wound and its action mechanism. Methods Skin ulcer modle of 54 rats was established.Then the rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=18 each), including model control group, Jin wan hong group, and compound nitroglycerin gel group. Wound healing process and healing time were recorded.At the day 7 and 14 after the model was established, the number of fibroblasts and new blood capillaries of granulation tissue from center of the wound were measured,and RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression levels of VEGF, Ang1 andHIF-1α. Results As compared with model control group [(24.17±5.91) days], healing time of skin in the compound nitroglycerin gel group was significantly shorter [(14.67±3.76) days, P<0.01].The numbers of fibroblasts (61.20±7.56) and new blood capillaries (9.35±1.43) were increased, and mRNA expression levels of VEGF (1.692±0.196), HIF-1α (1.527±0.174) and Ang1 (1.548±0.203) were remarkably up-regulated on 7th day (P<0.05 or P<0.01).While on 14th day, the numbers of fibroblasts (28.00±5.96) and new blood capillaries (4.20±1.30) were decreased and the mRNA expression levels of VEGF (1.156±0.123), HIF-1α(1.021±0.105) and Ang1 (1.034±0.134) were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Compound nitroglycerin gel can treat skin ulcer wound via regulating the numbers of fibroblasts, new blood capillaries and VEGF/Ang1/HIF-1α signal transduction pathway.

TheMeridian and Acupoint Science is a basic course in the major of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina. We applied target-guided teaching method in teaching this course to evoke student's interest in studyingMeridian and Acupoint Science through initiative guidance, and boost student's initiative and enthusiasm by exhibiting the teaching targets. During the practice, we emphasized the specification of each unit target, around which we adopted various methods; meanwhile, we also focused on prompt evaluation, based on which necessary adjustments would be made to approach the targets. Teachers should act as guider, maintainer and promoter in class, rather than transmitter, to help students to study positively rather than passively listen. Via this kind of teaching reform, students not only obtained knowledge, but also enhanced their capability and feelings.

As a famous-region Dao-di Herbs, Ligusticum chuanxiong which mainly grows in the west of the upper reaches of Jinma River in Dujiangyan for a long time. In recent years, the history, species and origin of L. chuanxiong were researched by many scholars. However, the forming pattern of Dao-di herbs of L. chuanxiong has not been reported systematically. Basing on the general principles of the formation of Dao-di herbs, it can be concluded that the forming pattern of L. chuanxiong is the type of two determinants, which are combined both unique ecological environment of genuine regions and advanced cultivation techniques.

Objective To explore the effect of total saponins from Medicago polymorpha (TSMP) on glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats and its possible mechanism.Methods T2DM rats were established by feeding with fat diets and intraperitoneally injecting with STZ 30 mg/kg.The rats were divided into control group,model group,metformin group (0.2 g/kg),TSMP high dose group (1.4 g/kg) and TSMP low dose group (0.7 g/kg),which were administrated for four weeks.At the end of administration,blood samples were collected to determine insulin resistance index (IRI),levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc),hepatic glycogen,interleukin (IL)-1 β,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,free fatty acids (FFA) and Leptin,and activities of pyruvate kinase (PK),hexokinase (HK),glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase),fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and glucokinase (GK).Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of G-6-Pase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) proteins.Results Compared withthe model group,high dose (1.4 g/kg) TSMP decreased IRI,levels of FBG,HbA1 c,IL-1β,TNF-α,FFA and Leptin,and activities of G-6-Pase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in T2DM rats (P＜ 0.05),while increased level of hepatic glycogen,and activities of PK,HK and GK (P＜0.05).Moreover,high dose (1.4 g/kg) TSMP down-regulated expression levels of G-6-Pase and PEPCK protein in liver tissues.Conclusion Chronic administration of TSMP can improved glucose homeostasis in T2DM rats,which might be related to promoting utilization of glucose,and alleviating inflammatory and insulin resistance.
