Objective To investigate the correlation between the olasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone and the parameters that reflected the reconstruction of left ventricular in chronic heart failur(CHF)patients.Methods 61 CHF pmiems and 20 normal control subjects were enrolled.plasma concentration of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone were measured by specific radioimmunoassays.Two dimensional,M-mode and Doppler ultrasound recording were obtalned to determine left vantricular mass index(LVMI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and maximal early transmitral flow velocity in diastole(VE)and maximal late transmittal flow velocity(VA).Results Baseline plasma concemrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldostemne were increased significantly in CHF patients as compared with normal thme of control group and were paralleled to the increase of NYHA cardiac functional classification of CHF(P＜0.01).Plasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldostemne were positively correlated with LVMI but negatively correlated with VE/VA(P＜0.01).Conclusion Plasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone were increased signifcantly in CHF patients and might be involved in and regulated the reconstruction of left ventricular in CHF patients.

Objective:To observe the impact of compound glycyrrhizin combined with triamcinolone acetonide on clinical effects and immune function in the patients with oral lichen planus ( OLP) . Methods:Totally 100 patients with OLP were randomly divided into the control group (50 cases) and the study group (50 cases). The control group was locally injected with triamcinolone acetonide, and the study group was treated with compound glycyrrhizin tablets additionally. The treatment course was 4 weeks. Visual analogue scale ( VAS) and REU scoring system were used to assess pain and symptoms of OLP, the clinical effects and cellular immune function were compared, and the adverse reactions were recorded as well. Results:After the treatment, the VAS score and REU score respec-tively lower than those for the control group, and there were differents between the two groups (P<0. 05). The total effective rate was 84. 0% in the study group, which was higher than that in the control group (66. 0%) (P<0. 05). The percentage of CD3+ and CD4+ cells was increased, that of CD19+ cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ were decreased, and there were significant differences be-tween the two groups (P<0. 05). The adverse reactions in both groups were mild. Conclusion:Compound glycyrrhizin combined with triamcinolone acetonide is effective for OLP and can improve the immune function in the patients.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical result of Weil osteotomy for refer metatarsalgia in hallux valgus. [Method]Between 2004 and 2005, 25 feet of 17 patients with hallux valgus were treated by osteotomy at the base of the first metatarsal and Weil osteotomy of the lesser metatarsal with metatarsalgia. Weight-bearing anterior-posterior and lateral X ray were taken before the surgery and 6 weeks after surgery on follow up. The hallux valgus angle , the intermetatarsal angle between 1st and 2nd metatarsal, and length of the second metatarsal were measured on the X-ray film. AOFAS system was used to judge the clinical result of the surgery. [Result]The hallux valgus before surgery angle was 32??5.7?,after surgery it was 12.8??3.5?; the intermetatarsal angle between lst and 2nd metatarsal before surgery was 24.2??3.7?,after surgery it was 10.5??0.7?; AOFAS score was 45.6?6.9 before surgery , and 86.9?4.6 after surgery ; significant difference was found between the result. The metatarsal after Weil osteotomy was shorten by 3~8 mm, mean 4.5 mm. After surgery 18 feet had pain free, and 7 feet had a signigicant pain relief . All the patient could return to normal life without other treatment. [Conclusion ] The biomechanical changes in the foot with hallux valgus should be analyzed before surgery . Combined use of base osteotomy at the first metatarsal and Weil osteotomy at lesser metatarsal can get satisfactory clinical result in patients with sever hallux valgus and transferred refer metatarsalgia.

Objective To observe the intervention effect of Wuxing-Jiangu exercise for different syndrome types of elderly patients with chronic low back pain.Methods A total of 199 patients who met the criteria of chronic low back pain (CLBP) were divided into a Wuxing-Jiangu exercise group (86 cases), a control group (85 cases) and a health education group (28 cases). On the basis of health education, theWuxing-Jiangu exercise group was given Wuxing-Jiangu exercise; the control group was treated with the warm type frequency therapeutic instrument; health education group was only given health education guide. The changes of the score of CLBP patients before and after treatment with different syndrome types were observed.Results After 3 months of treatment, the score of the kidney deficiency syndrome and spleen deficiency syndrome in the Wuxing-Jiangu exercise group, the control group and the health education group had significant differences (H were12.554, 8.014, respectively;all P<0.01); After 3 months of treatment, the score of kidney deficiency syndrome and spleen deficiency syndrome in the Wuxing-Jiangu exercise group reduced than before the treatment (Z were -5.975,-5.025, respectively)and 1 month after the treatment(Z were -5.976,-5.026, respectively) (all P<0.01).Conclusion Wuxing-Jiangu exercise can reduce the score of the kidney deficiency syndrome and spleen deficiency syndrome and improve clinical syndrome.

Objective To assess the contribution of CT perfusion in the quantitative diagnosis of meningiomas Methods The CT perfusion imaging was performed in 13 patients (including 2 recurrent meningiomas) by using Somatom Plus 4 helical CT The color map of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), and mean transit time (MTT) was obtained by perfusion software, and rCBF, rCBV, and MTT were calculated in different areas Then the perfusion parameters and its mean ratios between tumor and contralateral normal brain tissue (CNBT) in each group of different pathologic types of meningiomas were compared using an unpaired or a paired Student t test Results The rCBV, rCBF, and MTT of meningiomas were significantly higher than those of CNBT [rCBV:(16 125?12 135) ml/100 g vs (2 158?1 345) ml/100 g, P 0 05) The characteristic time density curve (TDC) with high peaks was seen in 5 cases The rCBV and rCBF of 4 cases with peritumor brain edema were significantly lower than those of CNBT Conclusion CT perfusion imaging can not only provide quantitative information of meningiomas blood flow and show characteristic dynamic TDC, but also is useful in assessing pathology of tumor and demonstrating lower perfusion in peritumor brain edema and diagnosis of recurrent meningiomas

Objective To discuss the efficacy and cosmetic effect of laparoscopic thyroidectomy for patients with thyroid diseases. Methods The clinical data of 160 patients who underwent laparoscopic thyroidectomy through the anterior chest approach were analyzed. The operation was performed under a pressure of 8 mm Hg within the surgical space at the neck. After the thyroid was separated completely, the lesions were resected using an ultrasound knife. Results Laparoscopic thyroidectomy was completed in 157 of the patients including 6 cases of papillary adenocarcinoma. The other 3 patients were converted to open surgery because of hyperthyroidisms complicated with intraoperative hemorrhage (1) or thyroid carcinoma complicated with lymph node metastasis (2). No severe complications involving the trachea and parathyroid occurred in this series. One patient with thyroid carcinoma developed transient hoarseness after the operation; one patient with nodular goiter had postoperative subcutaneous hemorrhage and hydrops; both of them were cured spontaneously. Postoperative hospital stay ranged from 3 to 5 days (mean, 4 days). The patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months with a mean of 6.8 months, during which none of them had recurrence. All the patients were satisfied with cosmetic outcomes of the surgery. Conclusion Laparoscopic thyroidectomy via the anterior chest approach is safe and feasible for patients with thyroid diseases with good cosmetic results.
