PET-CT, SPECT, and SPECT-CT examinations could lead to inevitable medical exposure for patients, and the radiation dose of this examinations and whether it was harmful to patients have attracted attention from the public and professionals. At the same time, there was still a controversy about whether the biological effect of low dose radiation was useful to human body. The research investigates and reviews the radiation dose of PET-CT, SPECT, and SPECT-CT scans and their biological effects. Under achieved to the demands of clinical conditions, operators should try to reduce the radiation dose of PET-CT, SPECT, SPECT-CT scans for patients. Although PET-CT, SPECT, SPECT-CT scans deliver inevitable radiation, the dose of single examination will not lead to deterministic effect, and even the view of the random effect of linear no-threshold from these scans also have been questioned.

Objective:To study therapeutic effect of cilazapril and amlodipine on QT interval dispersion and arrhyth-mia in patients with essential hypertension (EH) .Methods:A total of 120 EH patients complicated with ventricular arrhythmia in our hospital from Mar 2011 to Mar 2014 were enrolled ,randomly and equally divided into cilazapril group and amlodipine group ,the two groups all received routine antihypertensive therapy .Blood pressure ,QT in-terval and arrhythmias were compared between two groups .Results:Compared with amlodipine group ,there were significant reductions in 24h mean systolic blood pressure [24hSBP ,(123.81 ± 17.95) mmHg vs .(104.92 ± 14.25) mmHg] ,24h mean diastolic blood pressure [24hDBP ,(88.31 ± 10.28) mmHg vs .(72.24 ± 8.45) mmHg] ,24hSBP variability [ (11.62 ± 1.34) mmHg vs .(7.34 ± 0.97) mmHg] ,24hDBP variability [ (9.47 ± 1.18) mmHg vs .(5.13 ± 0.72) mmHg] ,QT interval [ (385.1 ± 50.4) ms vs .(342.7 ± 48.5) ms] ,corrected QT interval [ (362.7 ± 50.2) ms vs .(321.8 ± 45.1) ms] and QT interval dispersion [ (34.1 ± 5.1) ms vs .(22.5 ± 3.7) ms] in cilazapril group , P<0.05 or <0.01;ventricular arrhythmia class in cilazapril group was significantly better than that of amlodipine group , P<0. 05. Conclusion:Therapeutic effect of cilazapril is more helpful to reduce blood pressure ,QT interval dispersion and improve ventricular arrhythmia than amlodipine in EH patients complicated with arrhythmia .

Objective To analyze the surface-electromyography (sEMG) signals of patients with lumbar disc herniation before and after core stability exercise therapy.Methods Thirty-eight cases diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation were randomly divided into a control group (n =19) and an experimental group (n =19) using a random number table.The former was given two weeks' conventional traction physiotherapy,while the latter was given another two weeks of core stability exercise of lumbar and dorsal muscles after the conventional treatment.All of the patients were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and each was given a Japanese orthopedic association (JOA) score,sEMGs were recorded before and after 4 weeks of treatment.Results After treatment,average VAS scores[(1.11 ±0.74) and (0.95 ±0.62) respectively] and JOA scores[(21.05 ±3.08) and (23.47 ±2.04) respectively] in the control and experimental group both had improved significantly compared to that before treatment (P ＜ 0.01).The average JOA score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01) after the treatment.After treatment of 4 weeks,erector spinae median frequency (MF) values(84.84 ± 12.78) and erector spinae average amplitude (AEMG) value (108.94 ± 24.70) in the experimental group were significantly improved(P ＜ 0.05),so did the multifidus muscles MF value(95.63 ± 16.35) of affected side.There was no significant difference between the affected and unaffected side (P ＞ 0.05).Moreover,the MF values of the experimental group were significantly higher than that the control group (P ＜ 0.05) after treatment.There was significant difference between the average AEMG values of erector spinae of affected side before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Core stability exercise can further alleviate the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation after conventional traction physiotherapy.It improves the fatigue tolerance of the back's core muscles and relieves functional imbalance of the multifidus muscles.However,the time of therapy should be lengthened to study its effect on strengthening lumbar muscles.

Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common vasculitides in children with many manifestations including skin purpura,arthritis,abdominal pain and renal involvement.The renal involvement(Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis,HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity and major risk factor for prognosis in HSP.The paper reviewed the updated treatment strategy for HSPN.Accordingly,steroids,cyclophosphamide,mycophenolate mofetil,mizoribine,cyclosporine,triptolide,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) / angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB),plasma apheresis and tonsillectomy are possible indicator for the further therapy of HSPN.Furthermore,prospective randomized controlled treatment studies on children with severe HSPN would be needed.

Giving up treatment in ophthalmology is common in our country. Financial difficulty is the main reason of abandoning treatment in ophthalmology. We should make every effort to deal with some patients with ocular diseases who had no light perception at all. Misdiagnosis and wrong therapy ought to be avoided as much as possible in our clinical practice. The giving up treatment of retinoblastoma is relatively common in our country at present time and its early diagnosis and early treatment is very important. Therapeutic giving up treatment is a new concept and eye doctors can make use of it in some special situations in that the disease can be treated effectively.

AIM:To observe the effects of fasudil on inflammatory reaction in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rats.METHODS:Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model in rats was made by transient occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 1.5 h followed by 24 h reperfusion.Fasudil was injected intraperitoneally before operation and 12 h after operation.The neurological function was scored and the infarct volume was measured after operation.The water content of brain was measured with dry-wet weight;The myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity was determined by spectrophotometer;The permeability of the blood brain barrier was evaluated by measurement of the Evans Blue(EB)content in the brain with spectrophotometer;The brain content of IL-8 was evaluated with ELISA;The level of NF-?B p65 mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR;The expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and NF-?B p65 protein were observed by immunohistochemistry;The MCP-1 and the expression of NF-?B p65 protein in the nuclear extracts were detected by western blotting.RESULTS:Fasudil improved the neurological function,decreased the infarct size,reduced the permeability of blood brain barrier and brain water content,inhibited the MPO activity,decreased the content of IL-8 and the protein expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and MCP-1 in brain tissue,inhibited the expressions of NF-?B p65 mRNA and protein and reduced the content of NF-?B p65 protein in the nuclear extracts significantly(P

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of electrocardiogram in risk stratification of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods: According to the change of electrocardiogram, 260 patients with non-ST segment elevation ACS were divided into four groups: ECG-undiagnosed group (n=22), T-wave inversion group (ST-segment depression group), ST-segment depression group (n=118) and normal electrocardiogram group(n=80). All patients were treated with conventional 18-lead electrocardiogram and troponin I(TnI)detection in the four groups. The incidence of cardiovascular events during and after hospitalization was observed. Results: The complex cardiovascular events and recurrent angina attacks in ST segment depression group increased significantly than that in normal ECG group. The difference was statistically significant (x2=5.723,x2=15.680;P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TnI positive factors predict the independent value of composite cardiovascular events higher.Conclusion:The patients with ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome can effectively carry out risk stratification by ECG ST-segment changes and TnI levels, and predict the cardiovascular events. It has higher clinical application value and independent predictive value of TnI positive.
