Objective A large number of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)are widely used for the treatment of patients with cerebral hemorrhage in China. The aim of this study is to systematically review the existing clinical evidences on TCM treatment for cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Randomized controlled trails(RCTs) of TCM treatment of cerebral hemorrhage were identified, eligible studies were included, the methodological quality of inclusive trails was assessed by the modified Jadad scale. The Cochrane Collaberation’s Revman 5.20 was used for data analysis. Results 69 RCTs were available and included. Meta-analysis indicated that relative risk of overall effective rate of Sanqi, Ciwujia, Chuanxiongqin and Naoxueshu were significant difference; SMD(95% CI) of neural function defect score was SMD=-0.46, 95%CI(-0.56,-0.35)of Sanqi, Danshen, Qingkailing, Liangxuetongyufang;SMD(95%CI) of the reduce of cerebral hemorrhage was SMD = -0.98, 95% CI(-1.32, -0.63)of Danshen, Dahuang, Ciwujia, Qingkailing, Liangxue-Tongyufang. Conclusions The evidence currently available showed that the TCM which included do not increase the death rate and adverse reaction of the patients with cerebral hemorrhage, TCM could reduce neurological deficit and improve the absorption of hematoma.

Abstract Objective:To study GST-? expression in breast cancer and axillary lymphnodes.Methods: The expression of GST-Tr proteinand mRNA was detected by means of immunohistochemistry and RT- PCR. Results: In normal breast tissue, cancer tissue , HE positive lymph-nodes and HE negative lymphnodes , GST-? protein expression rate is 0,60% ,77% ,43%; GST-? mRNA expression rate is 0,88% ,71%and 39% , respectively. Conclusion; GST-?gene whose expression is upregulated as tumor occurs and develops can be used as a tumor biomar-ker; GST-? expression in HE negative lymphnodes suggests the poor prognosis; drug-resistance response is more sensitive in lymphnode than inprimary cancer. The expression of GST-? gene may be regulated by RNA or before RNA transcription.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the expression of midkine (MK) and microvessel density (MVD) in patients with salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) and its clinical significance, as well as detect the correlation between the expression of MK and MVD in SACC.
METHODSImmunohistochemistry analysis (SP method) for MK and MVD were performed on 60 cases of SACC and 26 cases of normal salivary gland tissue. The expression of MK and MVD, as well as the correlation between the expression of MK and MVD in SACC were detected.
RESULTSIn SACC, the MK expression rate was 70.0% (42/60), and MK was not expressed in normal tissue. Statistical significance was found between SACC and normal tissue (P<0.05). The MVD values in SACC and normal salivary gland tissues were 38.73 +/- 8.96 and 11.15 +/- 3.33, respectively. These values were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression levels of MK and MVD were unrelated to age, gender, and type in SACC (P>0.05), but correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and tumor-node-metastasis in SACC (P<0.05). The expression of MK and MVD was positively correlated with SACC (r=0.560, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSACC is correlated with the expression of MK protein and the increase in MVD, which may be some of the early diagnostic markers in SACC.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features and risk factors of neonatal clavicle fracture so as to decrease the incidence of this disease.MethodsA total of 85 cases of neonatal clavicle fracture admitted to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital of Fudan University between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015 were enrolled in this study. The full-term neonates with natural delivery by the same midwives or doctors on the same day were selected as control group with 1∶1 matched. Clinical features and risk factors of neonatal clavicle fracture based on three factors: mother factors, labor factors and neonatal factors, were analyzed retrospectively. Two independent samplest-test, rank sum test andChi-square test were used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe incidence rate of neonatal clavicle fractures was 0.14% (85/59 991). There were 45 (53%) males and 40 (47%) females; 80 (94%) cases of vaginal delivery, and 5 (6%) cases of cesarean section. According to the relationship between the location of the fracture and the position of the fetus, the fracture occurred in the anterior shoulder in 65 cases (76%) and in the posterior shoulder in 20 cases (24%);and 18 cases (21%) were in the left and 67 cases (79%) in the right. Fifty-five cases (65%) were diagnosed by physical examination, and 30 cases (35%) by X-ray. Two patients (2%) were complicated with brachial plexus injury. Twenty cases (24%) were diagnosed on the day of birth, 32 cases (38%) on the second day after birth, 16 (19%) on the third day, and four (5%) on the 4-6 days. Thirteen (15%) cases were diagnosed in the outpatient department 42 days after birth. All the fractures were cured without special treatment. Compared with the control group, the birth weight of fracture group was significantly higher [(3 646±361) vs (3 447±409) g,t=2.339], and the ratio of the cases complicated with shoulder dystocia was also higher [15% (13/85) vs 2% (2/85),χ2=9.524] (bothP<0.05). The differences in the factors of maternal age, parity, times of pregnancy, gestational age, forceps delivery, time of the second stage of labor and fetal distress between the two groups were not statistically significant.ConclusionsNeonatal clavicle fracture is related to birth weight and shoulder dystocia. Not all fractures can be diagnosed through physical examination on the day of birth, therefore, daily routine physical examinations after birth are necessary. The prognosis of neonatal clavicle fracture is good.

Objective To evaluate the effects and safety of uterine artery embolization for uterine leiomyoma. Methods Total of 185 patients with uterine leiomyoma were treated by UAE. They were followed for one to 6 years to observe the changes of leiomyoma size and improvement in clinical symptoms. Ovarian function was evaluated in 44 cases. Results Bilateral embolization of uterine arteries was performed in 185 patients. Follow-up of 1 ~6 years for 292 leiomyoma indicated that one to 9 months after embolization, shrinkage of leiomyoma size was the most significant factor. One year after embolization, leiomyoma sizes decreased a little. Shrinkage of submucous leiomyoma was more significant than that of intratumoral one, and the latter was more significant than subserous one. Shrinkage of leiomyoma with large size ( volume ≥ 150cm~3) was less than that of small one. Menorrhagia, anemia and pressure symptoms were all resolved. There was no significant difference between pre- and post embolization ovarian hormone level. Conclusions The significant reduction in leiomyoma volume and resolution of clinical symptoms confirmed that the treatment validity of symptomatic leiomyomas by UAE. UAE is an effective therapeutic procedure which has no adverse effect on the ovarian function.
