OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of Tianmeng capsule in the treatment of climacteric female with burning mouth syndrome(BMS).METHODS:A total of 248 climacteric female of patients with BMS were randomly assigned to receive Tianmeng capsule plus comprehensive psychotherapy(experiment group,n=124)or VitB1+Oryzanol +VitE plus comprehensive psychotherapy(control group,n=124)for 1 month.RESULTS:The total effective rate was 91.9% for the experiment group versus 48.4% for the control group(P

In this study,the relationship between the advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and the expressions of receptor for AGEs(RAGE),intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) was investigated.The diabetic rat model was reconstructed and the fluorescence method,RT-PCR and in-situ hybridization techniques were used to detect AGEs content and the expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 gene in the aorta and cardiac tissues.The results showed that AGEs content in aortic and cardiac tissues increased(P＜0.01) in diabetic rats; The expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 enhanced (P＜0.05～0.01) and were positively correlated with the quantity of AGEs accumulation(P＜0.01) in the aorta and cardiac tissue.These parameters change in the diabetic rats can be improved with aminoglumine(AG) treatment.Suggesting that AGEs might induce RAGE and ICAM-1 expression.It's postulated that AGEs binding to RAGE play an important role to result in diabetic endothelial cells dysfunction and lesion.

The deletion of tumor suppressor gene PTEN's expression was familiar in many tumors, including prostate cancer. The guide would be given in the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of prostate cancer by studying about PTEN's tumor suppression mechanism and relation with expression deletion. This review makes an overview focusing on the recent progress of PTEN's structure, function, expression deletion, and the correlation between PTEN and prostate cancer.

0.05).The average fading time of the lymph nodes stained by PB and MB+PB was 13.06min and 82.13min,we observed the lymph nodes stained by MB 120 min,they were still stained deeply.There were dramatically differences among three groups(P=0.000).Conclusion Application of MB and PB possess their advantage and disadvantage in sentinel node biopsy.The mixture of patent blue and methylene blue could overcome the shortage of the two vital dyes in the experimental study and be an ideal tracer for the use.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for ureteral calculi after failed extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy(ESWL).Methods A total of 89 patients with ureteral calculi were treated by ureteroscopic holmium YAG laser lithotripsy after failed ESWL.Among them,69 cases were complicated with ploypi or calculi surrounded by granuloma tissues,which were melted by holmium laser simultaneously;4 cases were complicated with distal ureteral stenosis,and received open surgery for resection of the stenotic segment.Results Of the patients,calculi were fragmented by one operation in 81 cases.The success rate was 91%.67 cases were stone free in one week and 14 cases in two weeks.In 4 cases,calculi were flushed into the pelvis,and were cured by open surgery.Conclusions Ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is an effective and safe method for ureteral calculi after failed ESWL.It should be used as the first choice for the disease.

OBJECTIVE To study the state of mixed infection of sexually transmitted diseases(STDs) pathogens isolated from female genitourinary tract and analyze the clinical meaning.METHODS Gram staining and test under microscope,DIGFA,cultivation and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay were adoptmaed to detect five pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae,Chlamydia trachomatis,Ureaplasma urealyticum,Mycoplas hominis and herpes simplex virus.RESULTS Among 2 188 female patients,we got 175 mixed infection cases,accounted for 8.0%.77.7% Patients were 21 to 40 years.CONCLUSIONS We should pay attention to monitoring STDs and control work.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the nosocomial status and drug resistance of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(IRPA) to provide the reference for doctor′s use of the antibiotics.METHODS Totally 178 strains of imipenem-resistant P.aeruginosa were identified by the routine methods.And drug sensitivity was determined by Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS All strains of IRPA were mainly from departments of respiratory diseases,tumor and geriatrics,most of them were isolated from sputum(62.4%).The susceptibility test showed that 100.0% IRPA were resistant to imipenem.Drug resistance rates to piperacillin,cefotaxim,gentamicin,ciprofloxacin and SMZ-TMP were all over 50.0%.CONCLUSIONS The status of nosocomial infection caused by IRPA is very serious.To detect and control the infection is very important.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, endoplasmic reticulum stress-caused apoptosis plays a crucial role in ischemia impairment and has become the hotspot of studies addressing myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The lower limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP) has the obvious protective effect on the immature myocardium, but until now, no study reports whether LIP effects on endoplasmic reticulum stress apoptosis in immature myocardial cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of LIP on endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis.
METHODS:Langendorff-perfused isolated rabbit hearts were used in this study. Twenty-four immature rabbits were randomized into three groups. Control group:Isolated rabbit heart was only perfused with Krebs-Henseleit for 180 minutes. I/R group:Isolated rabbit heart was perfused 20 minutes, and then ischemia for 60 minutes fol owed by reperfusion 100 minutes. LIP group:Limbs were repeatedly obstructed 5 minutes and relaxed 5 minutes for three times, to establish Langendorff models, and then repeated the method of ischemia/reperfusion in I/R group. The myocardial apoptosis was assayed with TUNEL method. The expression of glucose-regulated protein 78, Bcl-2, Bax and Fas was detected with western blot analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with I/R group, apoptosis rate was significantly lower, the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly higher, and the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78, Bax and Fas was significantly lower in LIP group. This study demonstrated that LIP regulates myocardial cellapoptosis through reducing the expression of endopasmic reticulum stress GRP78, Bax and Fas and increasing the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective To analyze the imaging and histopathologic features of extra-plural solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and to improve the diagnose diagnostic ability.Methods The images and pathologic features of 32 SFT cases confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of 32 SFT cases, there were 5 cases in the head, 3 cases in the orbit, 1 case in the nasal sinuses, 1 case in the bronchus, 2 cases in the stomach,1 case in the pancreas, 3 cases in the kidney, 3 cases in the retroperitoneum, 4 cases in the pelvic cavity, 6 cases in the soft tissues, 3 cases near the vertebra.6 cases were malignant,8 cases were borderline,18 cases were benign.The tumors located in abdominal and pelvic tumors were larger,the average diameter of the tumors was 13.6 cm.The volumes of the other tumors were smaller, the average diameter was 4.2 cm.The majority of the tumors showed clear boundary, smooth edge or lobulated soft tissue mass, partial necrosis, rare cystic degeneration and calcification.MR images showed hypo to isointensity on T1WI and hyper to isointensity on T2WI.After enhanced enhancement, multiple small circuitous vessels could be found in or around the mass.The tumor showed slightly enhanced in the arterial phase and moderately to obviously heterogeneously enhancement in the venous phase.In addition, part of the tumors can could be seen positive-negative signal changes.The positive expression rate of immunohistochemical indexes were: CD34 100%, CD99 68.8%, Bcl-2 62.5%, Vimentin 46.9%, Ki-67>5% 43.8% respectively.
