Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of local mild hypothermia for acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods 99 hospitalized patients with ACI form January 2006 to July 2009 were randomly divided into mild hypotherrmia group(therapy group,n =52) and control group(n =47). All the patients were treated with routine medication,while those in therapy group patients were aslo treated local mild hypothermia. Before treatment,the 10th and 30th day after treatment ,the neurological deficits and activity of daily living(ADL) were evaluated according to European Stroke Scale(ESS) and Barthel Index respectively,and were evaluated according to Barthel Index on the 90th day. Results On the 10th and 30th day the increase rate of ESS was evaluated. On the 30th day,there was significant difference between the therapy group (74. 4 ± 13. 8) and controll group (65.0 ± 17.6) (t = 3. 121,P ＜ 0.01).On the 10th and 30th and 90th day the improvement of ADL was observed. The increase rate of ADL was(39.2 ±32. 2,59.3 ±29. 7,64. 0 ±31.5) in the therapy group and(23.9 ± 19. 8,49. 3 ±27. 3,56. 0 ± 30. 1) in the controll group (t = 2.611 ～ 2.73.6, P ＜ 0.05 ～ 0.01). The effective rate of the therapy group was 78. 8%, and the effective rate of the controll group was 46. 7%. There was significant difference between the therapy group and the controll groups (x~2 = 10. 953, P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion The local mild hypothermia is more effective than those in the controll group for ACI.

Objective To discuss the value of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy (VATM) in the management of thoracic diseases. Methods An 1.5 cm incision was made along the middle axillary line at the 7th costal interspace on the diseased side to introduce the thoracoscope. After the exploration of intrathoracic lesion, another incision 5~8 cm in length close to the lesion was made. The thoracic cavity was opened by way of the costal interspace. Surgical performance of exploration, dissection, hemostasis and suture was performed under thoracoscope and direct vision by using routine surgical instruments and thoracoscopic instruments. A total of 43 cases of VATM were carried out. Results The operation time was 40~150 min (mean, 67 min). The length of incision was 5~8 cm (mean, 6 cm). The chest drainage lasted 2~5 d. No postoperative complications occurred. The postoperative hospital stay was 5~8 d (mean, 6 d). Follow-up found no recurrence for 3~22 months in 18 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax and pleural effusion, and found no recurrence, distant metastasis or incision implantation for 5~20 months in 3 cases of lung cancer receiving either lobectomy or wedge resection. Simple biopsy of tumor was conducted in 6 cases of lung cancer, who obtained chemotherapy or gamma knife radiotherapy postoperatively and survived 5~21 months. Conclusions VATM is practical, minimally invasive and safe. By using routine surgical instruments it has an optimistic outlook.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Feiji Formula, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on lung cancer metastasis in mice. METHODS: The lung cancer metastasis model of mice was established in this experiment study. Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into three groups: untreated group, cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group. Mice in the Feiji Formula group were treated with Feiji Formula decoction; in cisplatin group, with cisplatin by intraperitoneal injection; and in the untreated group, with normal saline (NS). After twenty-day treatment, the body and tumor weights as well as the number of metastatic tumors in both lungs of each mouse were measured. RESULTS: The body weight of mice in cisplatin group was significantly less than that of Feiji Formula group and untreated group (P<0.01); the tumor weight of mice in cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group was markedly lower than that of untreated group (P<0.01); and the number of metastatic tumors in cisplatin group and Feiji Formula group was markedly lower than that of the untreated group (P<0.01), no significant difference between the Feiji Formula group and cisplatin group in terms of the weights and the numbers of metastatic tumors in bilateral lungs. CONCLUSION: Feiji Formula can suppress tumor growth and decrease the number of lung metastatic tumors in the mice, and maintain the body weight of the mice.

Objective To verify the effects of different conc entrations of auecifemine on the function of osteoblast cell expression and oste ogenic ability in vitro . Methods Iliac spongy bone specimens were obtained from twel ve adult patients scheduled surgery. After the bone pieces were treated with col lagenase-trypsin, osteoblasts were obtained from cancellous bones. Then the ost eoblasts were purified and cultivated. They were cultured in medium with various concentrations(1?10 -11 , 1?10 -9 , 1?10 -7 , 1?10 -6 , 1 ?10 -5 , 5?10 -5 mol?L -1 ). The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) acti vity, osterocalcin and osteogenic ability were examined by biochemical assay and radioimmunologic assay (RIA), respectively. Results The co rrelation of auecifemine of different concentrations with ALP activity and osteo calcin secretion was positive. Auecifemine of lower concentrations (1?10 -11 mol?L -1 , 1?10 -9 mol?L -1 and 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 ) s howed the stimulating effect on osteogenic ability and but not higher concentrat ion. Conclusion Estrogen can increase osteoblast ALP activi ty, osteocalcin production, and osteogenic ability.

Objective To assess the effect of sodium hyaluromate (HA) on degenerative disorders of the knee joint (KJ). Methods A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. The experimental group received injections in the compartments of the involved KJ with 1% HA 20mg, whereas the control group received prednisolone (PS) of 75mg once a week with five injections as one course. One week before and after the treatment , clinical symptoms, amount of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and total protein of synovial fluid were measured and compared. Results Both drugs could relieve the clinical symptoms of KJ degenerative disorders. In HA group, marked improvement rate was 52.78% and failure rate was 2.86%, whereas marked improvement rate was 39.29% and failure rate 17.86% in PS group. The declined levels of IL-6 in synovial fluid were notably greater in HA group than those in PS group. Conclusion Intra-articular injection of HA is effective and safe in treating KJ dgenerative disorders with mild adverse reactions.

Objective To provide useful information on reducing risky drinking for the Dept.of Public Health taking a county in Yunnan province as an example to explore the risk factors related to risky drinking.Methods A total of 574 participants identified as Miao,Yi and Han People at or older than 12 years old,who had been living there for 6 months or more were selected and surveyed in 5 townships in the county through stratified sampling.Alcohol consumption was collected using the beverage-specific quantity frequency (BSQF) method and analyzed using binary logistic regression and chi-square test.Results The number of drinkers in the family,undesirable drinking environment among friends and enculturation (β =0.073) could increase the likelihood of risky drinking.Risky drinking pattern was positively associated with age (β =1.006),and negatively associated with gender (β =-2.947) and awareness of risky drinking among rural residents.Conclusion The important measures to control risky drinking behavior in terms of health promotion and education include reducing the number of drinkers in the family,and preventing from undesirable drinking environment among friends and harmful drinking culture.These measures are crucial to prevent early onset of alcohol drinking among teenagers and to reduce risky drinking among middle aged and aged population.
