Objective:To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture (EA) plus self-made Jiawei Jinhuanggao (Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste) for gouty arthritis.Methods:A total of 80 cases with gouty arthritis were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=40) and a Western medication group (n=40). Cases in the observation group received EA and external application of self-madeJiawei Jinhuanggao(Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste), whereas cases in the Western medication group took Colchicine and Allopurinol tablets orally. After 10 d of treatment, the pain, joint swelling and uric acid in blood were observed. In addition, the follow-up was conducted 6 months after end of the treatment to evaluate the long-term effect.Results:After treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in pain and uric acid in blood (P>0.05); and there were between-group statistical differences in joint swelling and relapse rate (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 97.5% in the observation group, versus 95.0% in the Western medication group, showing no statistical difference (P>0.05).Conclusion:EA plus Jiawei Jinhuanggao (Supplemented Golden Yellow Paste) has safe and long-term efficacy for gouty arthritis efficacy.

Irradiation induced tumorigenesis is a complicated process involving several phases such as initiating, promoting and progressing, just like the tumorigenesis induced by other factors. While irradiation induced tumorigenesis has its particularity on molecular mechanism, though the precise process remain unclear. Generally, irradiation can cause serious damage on DNA, which may bring irreversible consequences. For example, the double strand breaks (DSB) can induce the mismatch repair reaction, resulting in mutation of some specific genes or chromosomes in irradiated cells. The mutagenesis then make for the activation of oncogene, inactivation of tumor suppressor gene, uncontrolled cell proliferation and alterations of signal transduction pathway, all these work together to promote tumorigenesis. In addition, the gene instability, cytoplast mutation and cell group by stand effects induced by irradiation also play crucial roles in the process of tumorigenesis. [

Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of microscope assisted nasal transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection. Methods: pituitary tumor patients in our hospital from March 2011 to May 2013 were enrolled and divided into observation group given microscope assisted nasal transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection and control group given oral-nasal septum-sphenoid sinus pituitary tumor resection according to different operation mode. Then stress level, curative effect related index and complications were observed and compared with existing research. Results: (1) Adrenaline, noradrenaline, rennin, angiotensin Ⅱlevel and operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospitalization time of observation group were lower than control group, cases of hormone levels return to normal and improve were more than control group, complication cases were less than control group. (2)compared with the existing research on nerve endoscopic surgery, operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospitalization time and cases of hormone levels return to normal, improve and complications of observation group had no statistical difference. Conclusion:microscope assisted nasal transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection is helpful to reduce surgery trauma, relieve stress condition and can achieve equal operation effect and complications.

In early stage of the severe acute pancreatitis, mediators of inflammation make the permeability of the microcirculation blood vessel increasing and more fluidify aggregates in tissue space. Pancreatic tissue is dropsical and necrotic ; a great quantity of body fluid accumulates in abdominal cavity, which induce utility circulation volume and returned blood volume decreasing rapidly. As more and more utility circulation volume decreases, the blood current of the coronary arterY is insufficient and the cardiac muscle cell is ischemic, the cardiac muscle is suffering injury to different extent. The cardiac load is overweight relatively. The cardiac muscle fiber is prolonged and interchanged idand cardiac muscle cellular membrane is damaged. The chain reaction and magnification of the mediators of inflammation let body delivery generous cell factors such as TNF-α,interleukin, oxygen free radical and so on, which make cardiac muscle cell's integrality damage,apoptosis,cardiac functional disturbance even exhaustion. In addition, abdominal compartment syndrome,pancreatitis associated ascetic fluid and electrolyte disturbances etc are also the important factors that affect the development of the disease.

The people died from H5N1 avian influenza virus,which was diagnosed by serological test.The remarkable pathohistology change is as follows:thick and homogeneous things dyed red can be seen on the face of pulmonary alveoli;the alveolar septum become wider and there are a lot of inflammatory cells in the pulmonary alveoli.Above all,we think that the histology changes can provide evidence to help coroners identify people died from H5N1 avian influenza virus or not.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion in treating temporomandibular joint disorder.MethodNinety patientswith temporomandibular joint disorder were randomized into a treatment group of 45 cases and a control group of 45 cases. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion, while the control group was by medication. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 3 treatment courses by a specially-assigned person.ResultThe recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 64.4% and 97.8% in the treatment group versus 37.8% and 82.2% in the control group, andthe total effective rate and recovery rate in the treatment group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); regarding the comparison of the efficacy and treatment duration of the recovered subjects, the recovery rates at the end of the 1st course, 2nd course and 3rd course in the treatment group were all markedly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), indicating that electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion can shorten the period of treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder. The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).ConclusionElectroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion can produce a significant efficacy in treating temporomandibular joint disorder.

Objective To investigate the relationship between vessel cancer embolus with other clinicopathological features and tumor tissue KRAS gene mutation in the patients with colorectal cancer and its significance to colorectal cancer prognosis.Methods The postoperative clinicopathological data in 182 patients with colorectal cancer during 2011-2014 were retrospectively analyzed and the patients were followed up.Results Forty-five cases showed vessel cancer embolus positive of colorectal cancer,which had the rrelationship with the lymph node metastasis,pathological differentiation degree,liver metastasis,nerve infiltration and increase of CEA and CA199 levels,while had no relationship with the age,sex,tumor size,infiltration depth and pathological type.The 3-year survival rate was 51.1% in the vessel cancer embolus positive group,which was significantly lower than 61.3% in the negative group (P<0.05).However,the 3-year survival rate had no statistically significant difference between the vessel cancer embolus positive complicating KRAS gene mutation group and the vessel cancer embolus positive group(P>0.05).Conclusion Vessel cancer embolus decreases the 3-year survival rate and affects the prognosis in the patients with colorectal cancer.The survival rate in complicating KRAS gene mutation is similar.

Objective To investigate the cause of reoperation for high differentiated thyroid carcinoma and the risk factors of neck lymph node metastasis in reoperation. Methods Retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 54 high differentiated thyroid cancer patients from 1998 to 2005, who received reoperation and neck lymph node dissection simultaneously. Results The residual thyroid carcinoma rate and lymph node metastasis rate were higher in 39 patients who initially received partial thyroidectomy than in 15 who previousely underwent radical operation(P <0. 05). Age less than 45 years, lymphadenectasis before initial operation, tumor residued or relapsed, muhicentricity of primary cancer and blurred boundary between cortex and medulla of lymph node were the risk factors for ipsilateral lymph node metastasis(P <0. 05), while mul-ticentricity of primary cancer and contralateral thyroid cancer were the risk factors for contralateral lymph me-tastasis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions Individual standard radical operation and necessary lymph node dissection are important measures to prevent recurrence and reoperation. Completion thyroidectomy and modified or selec-tive neck dissection are recommended for reoperation patients with the risk factors of lymph node metastasis.

BACKGROUND: The clinical manifestation of senile depression is not typical. The patients with senile depression seldom visit in general hospital, which is hard for clinical doctors to identify the disease at early time.OBJECTIVE: To research the traits of Coping style and social support in the recovered senile depressive patients.DESIGN: Case-control observation.SETTING: Department of Psychology in North China Coal Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-six senile depressive patients at convalescent stage were selected for depressive group in clinic service of Beijing Anding Hospital from November 2004 to October 2005. Inclusion criteria: ①Aged≥60 years old. ② Coded with depression with DSM-Ⅳ. ③ Being the period of recovery, geriatric depression scale(GDS)≤10. ④Informed consent was obtained from each participant. Exclusion criteria: ① Depression resulted from other factors for instance substance abuse and schizophrenia,etc. ②Serious and instable body disease such as cerebrovascular disease,liver and kidney disease, falling sickness, disease of internal secretion. Totally 104 questionnaires were sent out, and 96 were qualified. 37 were male and 59 were female in the depressive group, aged 60-87 years old,with average of (68±6)years. The course of disease was 0.3-11 years, with mean of 2 years. The elderly from ordinary community of Beijing were invited for control group. Inclusion criteria: ①Aged ≥ 60 years old; ② No mental disease. ③ Informed consent was obtained from each participant.Exclusion criteria: The same to the depressive group. There are 100 participants in the control group, 44 were male and 56 were female, aged 60 to 84 years old, with average (67±5) years old. There were no significant differences between depressive group and control group in gender, age, education, living conditions and marriage status.METHODS: 96 senile depressive patients at convalescent stage and 100healthy aged were investigated with self-made questionnaire, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The scores of the self-made questionnaire, GDS, SSRS and SCSQ answered by participants in each group.RESULTS: All the 196 participants entered the result analysis. There was not disqualified questionnaire. There were significantly lower scores of positive coping style and higher scores of negative coping style in the depressive group than the control group(P ＜ 0.05 ). There was lower score of social support, subjective social support and use of social support in the depressive group than the control group (P ＜ 0.05). The scores of objective social support was not significantly different in each group. There was remarkable positive correlation between active coping style and score of social support, subjective social support and use of social support in recovered senile depressive group (P ＜ 0.01). Passive coping style was negatively correlated with score of social support, subjective social support and use of social support(P ＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: Subjective social support and use of social support and negative coping style are the major risk factor in the onset of senile depression.
