Objective To observe the effectiveness of high-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)in the treatment of lichen sclerosus of vulva.Methods 63 patients with lichen sclerosus of vulva between July 2005 to December 2005 were divided into two groups at random,ultrasound group and control group.Patients in ultrasound group were treated with HIFU.Those in control group were treated with hormone.Results The scores of itch had difference after treatment in both group(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of glutamine on immune function in elderly patients with malnutrition.Methods Twenty-four elderly patients with malnutrition were equally randomized divided into glutamine group and control group.Patients in both two groups were administered with enteral nutrition containing equal nitrogen and calorics for consecutively 7 days.In the glutamine group,patients were also supplied with oral glutamine (7.5g tid).Changes of plasma IgG,IgA,and IgM levels,percentages of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3,CD4,CD8),and CD4/CD8 ratio were determined before and after treatment.Results Plasma IgG and IgA lev-els,percentages of CD3 and CD4,and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher in glutamine group than in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Glutamine can improve the immune function in elderly patients with malnutritiop and promote their recovery.

Objective:To discuss how to link the “No. 1 Military Medical Project”hospital network system with the local health insurance system.Methods: To analysis the interface demands of the social health insurance system and the rural cooperative health insurance system. Results: To solve the problem by modify the medical insurance interface program of the out-patient registration and charge, the in-patient registration and charge.Conclusion: the function and requirement has been realized by linking.

BACKGROUND:There may be tumor stem cells during metastasis and recurrence of liver cancer.The number of tumor stem cells is very few,so it is difficult to be identified.Thy-1 is a surface marking protein of oval cells.Specific marker can indirectly confirm the existence of tumor stem cells in the tumor,which is a focus in recent studies.OBJECTIVE:To study whether Thy-1 positive marked oval cells was expressed in hepatoma carcinoma cells,and investigate its screening and identification.METHODS:Flow cytometry was used to identify that Thy-1 positive expression in hepatoma carcinoma cells HepG2 and BEL-7402 and normal hepatocytes QSG-7701.Immunomagnetic bead sorting was utilized to select hepatoma carcinoma cells with Thy-1.Immunofluorescence was used to identify selected efficiency.Naked mouse inoculated with hepatoma carcinoma cells in the skin test was assigned to three groups.In the Thy-1~+ cells group,naked mice were inoculated with Thy-1~+ cells (5×10~5/mouse)underneath the skin of the back.In the HepG2 cell positive control group,naked mice were inoculated with HepG2 cells(0.5×10~7/mouse)underneath the skin of the back.In the Thy-1' cells negative control group,naked mice were inoculated with Thy-1~- cells(0.5×10~7/mouse)underneath the skin of the back.Tumorigenicity in each group was observed one month later.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Thy-1 expression in hepatoma carcinoma cells HepG2 and BEL7402 was significantly greater compared with normal hepatocytes QSG7701(P＜ 0.05).Positive rate of immunofluorescence staining was 85% in the Thy-1~+ cell group,1% in the HepG2 cell positive control group,0% in the Thy-1~- cell negative control group.There were nubble of five mice in HepG2 cell positive control and Thy-1~+ groups,and the volume was large.However,there was one nubble in Thy-1~- group,and the volume was significantly small(F=144.568,P＜ 0.05).Results indicated that hepatoma carcinoma cells contained Thy-1 labeled positive oval cells-like stem cells,which may be tumor stem cells in hepatoma carcinoma cells.

Since 1950s,the idea of liver transplantation (LT) was proposed,the technique of LT had been gradually and widely applied in the field of surgery.The development of LT experienced three stages,including animal experiment,clinical probation and clinical application.It is well known that LT is the only effective therapeutic method for terminal stage of liver diseases.In liver transplantation,the ischemia-reperfusion injury is difficult to avoid,and an important factor causing poor liver function.Meanwhile,hemodynamic volatility and internal environment disorder are important prognostic factors.How to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury of the transplanted liver and improve intraoperative hemodynamic changes in liver transplantation is a clinical research focus.Recent studies has indicated that orthotopic liver transplantation retrograde perfusion method can effectively reduce the transplanted liver ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve liver function early after transplantation,and thus significantly improve the success rate of liver transplantation and survival.

Objective To explore the expression of drug transporter organic anion transporting polypeptide2(Oatp2) and P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in brains of chronic epileptic rats induced by lithium-pilocarpine.Methods Chronic epilepsy modles were elicited after status epilepticus(SE) induced by lithium-pilocarpine in adult Wistar rats.The expressions of Oatp2 and P-gp were detected by immuno-histochemistry(SABC) method.Results Positive expression of Oatp2 was predominantly in the plexus epithelial cells and(blood-brain) barrier endothelial cells.Weak staining for Oatp2 was also detected in the neurocyte.In contrast,apparent expression of(P-gp) was seen in brain capillary and neurocyte only.Compared with normal control rats,expression of Oatp2 on the plexus epithelial cells and brain capillary in chronic epileptic rats was significantly decreased(P

Objective: To research the comparability of water vapor transmission of laminated films for pharmaceutical packaging determined by different instruments, methods and experimental conditions to provide reference and advice for the related inspection personnel.Methods: The principle, test parameters, conditions and scope of application for the testing methods for water vapor transmission in the national standard (GB) and international standards (ISO, ASTM) were compared by using three kinds of instruments based on different testing principles.Results: Different temperature and humidity conditions had great influence on the results of the same instrument.Under the same temperature and humidity, the instrument with different principles had little influence on the test results.Conclusion: Testing personnel should regularly use the standard membrane to calibrate the instrument of the sensor method.The temperature and humidity should be strictly controlled during the test.They should take measurement accuracy, personnel operation and economic loss into consideration to select the suitable method.
