1.Medullary syndrome and medullary infarction
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(7):507-512
Medullary syndrome is a group of syndromes caused by medullary lesions,which is characterized by ipsilateral cranial nerve damage symptoms combining contralateral conductive fasciculus type sensory disturbance or hemiplegia.Medullary infarction is a major cause of medullary syndrome.Knowing medullary syndrome will have some help for the diagnosis and treatment of medullary vascular disease.
2.Study on decomposed recipes of traditional Chinese medicine
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2003;1(3):173-6
OBJECTIVE: To introduce and analyze the present status of research on decomposed recipes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). METHODS: The relevant literature on the study of the decomposed recipes of TCM in the past five years was collected and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Studies on the decomposed recipes of TCM have been made from the whole body level to the organ, cell and molecular research level. The pharmacological research in vitro is the main way and quantitative changes of the chemical ingredients have been measured before and after composition. It is very important to combine the modern science and technology in exploring the composing mechanisms of TCM remedies.
3.Antiplatelet agent resistance and prevention and treatment of stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(5):378-384
A large number of studies have confirmed that antiplatelet agents reduce the relative risk of stroke,myocardial infarction,or death by an average of 22%.However,many patients still have thrombotic events during the period of taking anti-platelet agents,and this is called anti-platelet agent resistance.Its incidences reported are very different.The incidence of aspirin is 3% to 85%,and that of clopidogrel is 28% to 44%.The exact cause of antiplatelet agent resistance remains unclear.It may be associated with several factors,including decreased drug bioavailability,genetic polymorphisms,activation of other platelet activation pathways,and increased circulating platelets.Currently,a variety of laboratory methods have been used to detect antiplatelet agent resistance,its criteria are different.In addition,the response measures of antiplatelet agent resistance also have no conclusion,and this has brought greater difficulties for the prevention and treatment of stroke.
4.Building Up Health Care System in Rural Areas to Set up a Society in Harmony
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
Setting up a society in harmony is one of important abilities of our Party being in power.Right health care system in rural areas is one of important contents of setting up socialist society in harmony.This article argues from three aspects that setting up a society in harmony is mankind's moral ideal,building up health care system in rural areas is to appeal to morality which sets up a society in harmony,and building up health care system must be strengthened.But the writer thinks that there are many lacks now.So we should take some steps to build and complete the health care system in rural areas,it is significant for setting up a society in harmony.

Objective To assess the feasibility of intestitial MR lymphangiography (MRL) with subcutaneous injection of a commercially available,non-ionic,extracellular paramagnetic contrast agent,to visualize lymphatic vessels in patients with primary lymphedema.Methods Forty lower extremities in 31 patients with clinically advanced stages of primary lymphedema were examined with magnetic resonance lymphangiography.A 1 ml mixed liquor of gadobenate dimeglumine and mepivacainhydrochloride were injected subcutaneously into the dorsal aspect of both feet For MRL,a 3D fast spoiled gradient-recalled echo T1-weighted images with a fat saturation technique (T1 high resolution isotropic volume excitation,THRIVE) were performed after subcutaneous application of the contrast material To outline lymphatic vessels,source images were used to reconstruct images of MIP.The SNR and CNR of enhanced lymphatic vessels and veins were measured and calculated respectively.The significance of the differences of the data comparisons was assessed using an unpaired student t teat.Results Of the 40 lower extremities,the beaded appearance of dilated lymphatic vessels was detected in 36 lower legs (90.0%) and 17 upper legs (42.5%).The numbers of the dilated lymphatic vessels displayed in all segments of lower extremities added up to 365 and its mean diameter was (3.4 ± 0.1) mm on MRL MIP image.The average SNR and CNR were 257 ±130,207 ± 113 in the dilated lymphatic vessels and 218 ± 129,152 ± 113 in the vein respectively,which was statistically significant (SNR t = -2.649,CNR t = -3.404,P <0.01).Contrast enhancement was observed in 30/40 inguinal lymph node groups (75.0%).In 26 lower extremities (65.0%) collateral vessels with dermal back-flow areas between lymphatic vessels were seen.Conclusions As a novel tool to image the pathologically modified lymphatic vessels in patients with clinically advanced stage of primary lymphedema,magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a safe,useful technique.

An automatic control system was designed to suppress pathological tremor on wrist joint with two degrees of freedom (DoF) using functional electrical stimulation (FES). The tremor occurring in the wrist flexion-extension and adduction-abduction was expected to be suppressed. A musculoskeletal model of wrist joint was developed to serve as the control plant, which covered four main muscles (extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, and flexor carpi ulnaris). A second-order mechanical impedance model was used to describe the wrist skeletal dynamics. The core work was to design the controller and a hybrid control strategy was proposed, which combined inverse model based on feed forward control and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) optimal control. Performance of the system was tested under different input conditions (step signal, sinusoidal signal, and real data of a patient)., The results indicated that the proposed hybrid controller could attenuate over 94% of the tremor amplitude on multi-DoF wrist joint.

Objective:To evaluate the impact and predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( NLR) ,derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( d-NLR) ,platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio( PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio( LMR) on the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer with curative resection.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 205 cases of clinical data and returning data after patients with colorectal cancer surgery,ROC curve was applied to determine thresholds for four biomarkers and their prognostic values were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve,univariate and multivariate COX regression models of patients with NLR,D-NLR,PLR and LMR and other clinicopathological factors and the relationship between the 5-year recurrent-free survival( RFS).Results:According to the ROC curve,LMR could not be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker for subsequently analysis,for its AUC was less than 0.50, The optimal cut-off values were 3.12 with the highest specificity and sensitivity ( 75% and 73.1%) for NLR, while in the univariate analysis show,NLR,D-NLR and PLR were all risk factors of poor recurrence-free survival ( P<0.05 ) , the multivariate regression analysis,NLR≥3.12 and colorectal cancer staging were independent risk factors of prognosis of colorectal cancer.Conclusion:NLR≥3.12 can provide improved accuracy for predicting clinical outcomes in surgical CRC patients under surgery resection.

Objective To assess the value of CT, PET, PET/CT in diagnosis of peritoneal metastases with Meta analysis. Methods Articles of CT, PET or PET/CT on peritoneal metastases published in English or Chinese from Jan 2000 to May 2008 were collected, and histopathological and (or) surgical findings were taken as golden standards. The sensitivity, specificity, summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves, area under the curve (AUC) and the heterogeneity were calculated with software of SAS 8.0, Meta-DiSc 1.4 and STATA 10.0. Results The results of Meta analysis from 11selected articals showed that PET had the highest pooled specificity [0.96, (0.91-0.98)];PET/CT had highest pooled sensitivity [0.77, (0.67-0.85)]. The AUC and Q~* of PET, PET/CT and CT was (0.92, 0.85), (0.99, 0.96), (0.91, 0.84), respectively. AUC of PET/CT was higher than that of CT (Z=2.33, P<0.05). Conclusion PET/CT is a high accuracy diagnostic tool for detecting peritoneal metastases.
