Objective To analyze the correlation of serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels with cerebral hemorrhage volume and nerve function damage .Methods One hundred and two cerebral hemor‐rhage patients served as an experimental group and 64 individuals undergoing physical examina‐tion served as a control group in this study .The patients in experimental group were further di‐vided into mild damage group (n= 29) ,moderate damage group (n= 42) ,severe damage group (n=31) ,10 ml hemorrhage group(n=15) ,10 -30 ml hemorrhage group (n=52) ,and >30 ml hemorrhage group (n=35) .Their serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels were measured on days 1 ,5 ,10 and 15 after admission .Results The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels in experimental group in‐creased gradually in the first 5 days ,reached their peak on day 5 and then decreased gradually (P<0 .05) .The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels were significantly higher in severe damage group than in mild and moderate damage groups ( P<0 .05) ,and in experimental group than in control group (9 .46 ± 1 .26 mg/L vs 4 .24 ± 0 .94 mg/L ,P=0 .02) .Conclusion The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels are related with cerebral hemorrhage volume and nerve function damage ,and can thus be considered as an important parameter in clinical testing .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of keratinocyte growth factor(KGF)in middle ear cholesteatoma and to explore the role of KGF on the hyperproliferation of the cholesteatoma epithelium and the formation and development of cholesteatoma. METHODS The specimens from the cholesteatoma tissue of 20 cases and the corresponding normal external ear skin were examined by immunohistochemical S-P method and quantitative analysis. RESULTS In normal ear skin only stroma staining for KGF was positive. In cholesteatoma epithelium staining for KGF was strongly positive and the stroma staining was stronger than that of normal ear skin. The positive rates of the cholesteatoma and normal external ear skin revealed a significant difference. There was a positive correlation between cholesteatoma epithelium staining for KGF and for Ki67 and the coefflcient of correlation was 0.609(P﹤0.01). CONCLUSION There was correlation between the expression of KGF or Ki67 and the ability of reproduction of middle ear cholesteatoma. Local inflammation might promote hyperproliferation of the epithelium of cholesteatoma by regulating the expression of KGF. It suggested that an autocrine stimulation of KGF correlate with the occurrence and development of cholesteatoma .

Objective To compare the results of 3 methods to treat complete dislocation of acromioclavicular joint. Methods Three different surgical techniques were employed: Dewars procedure (in Group A of 32 cases),tension band wiring (in Group A of 44 cases), and Wolter plate fixation (in Group A of 20 cases). There were 81 males and 15 females, or totally 85 cases of acute dislocation and 11 chronic dislocation. Results 96 cases were followed up with an average period of 50 months. Acording to karlssons standards, in group A, 26 patients were assessed as good, 5 as fair and 1 as poor. In group B, 20 patients were assessed as good, 13 as fair and 11 as poor. In group C, 15 patients were assessed as good, 4 as fair and 1 as poor. There were differences between A and B, C and B. But there werent statistic differences between A and C. Conclusion The Dawers procedure is believed to be a good, simple and safe method to treat acromioclavicular joint dislocation, with no need of a second operation to remove the implant and with less complications.

The finding and research on yeast prion are of great values for biology and medical sciences.Research advances in molecular chaperones, especially in Hsp104p, Hsp70p and Hsp40p, regulating yeast prion [PSI+] propaga-tion,are reviewed.

Impotence is one of the more common and serious symptom type of male sexual disturbance.It demonstrates by domestic sampling investigation that about more than 10% of male adult have impotence,and the incidence of impotence goes higher with the growing of age.Warming and invigorating kidney-yang has been the main therapy method for treating impotence.Through years of clinic practices,the treatment for impotence from liver has achieved satisfied effects.

The identification and classification of Thermus to Thermales is revie wed. Up to now, the order Thermales is consist of only one family Thermaceae, w h ich includes 4 genera with 14 valid species about 50 strains, and with 4 unvalid spcecies and more than 50 strains unidentified. The morphology, physiology, G+ C mol%, DND hybridization, fatty acid components, 16S rRNA alignment and secondar y structure analyses have been tools for the taxonomy of Thermales.

Objective To study the inhibition effects of 10-hydroxycamptothecinc and low molecular weight heparins on human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in nude mice.Methods Metastatic model of HCC was established in nude mice.The model mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:the control group,10- hydroxycamptothecinc group,low molecular weight heparins group,and combined treatment group(10-hy- droxycamptothecinc and low molecular weight heparins).Tumor sizes,tumor inhibition rates,tumor metas- tases,intratumoral microvessel density(MVD),CD_(31)and AFP were evaluated.Results In comparison with the control group and the 10-hydroxycamptothecinc group,the tumor sizes of the low molecular weight heparins and the combined treatment group were significantly smaller;the tumor inhibitor rates were 0 versus 76.6%, 79.8%,94.1%;MVD were 21.1?6.5 versus 17.2?3.1,7.1?2.3 and 4.8?1.8;CD_(31)were 31.7?6.1 versus 26.2?5.2,20.9?4.7 and 19.5?2.4;the incidence of liver metastasis was 80% versus 70%,20% and 10%;lung metastasis was 70% versus 60%,20% and 10%;the peritoneal metastasis was 90% versus 60%,30% and 30%.AFP were(121.9?31.4)ng/ml versus(56.2?37.9)ng/ml,(75.6?28.7)ng/ml and(20.7?12.9)ng/ml. Inhibiting effects of growth and metastasis of HCC in 10-hydroxycamptothecinc group,low molecular weight heparins group and combined treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group(F= 9.074,P

Objective To discuss the effect of health education to family members of patients with chronic heart failure. Methods 150 patients with family members as accompanies were divided into the observation group and the control group with 75 patients in each group. Health education was given to patients as well as their family members in the observation group, while health education was given only to the patients in the control group. The mastering of disease-related knowledge by family members of the observation group was observed after 15 days. The rehospitalization of the two groups by telephone follow-up was carried out six months after discharge. Results The mastering of disease-related knowledge by family members of the observation group was better compared with before health education. The rehospitalization rate of the observation group was 13.3%, which was lower than 44.0% of the control group. Conclusions Health education to family members of patients with chronic heart failure can increase treatment effect of patients, decrease disease relapse and lower rehospitalization rate.

ObjectiveTo study the possibility of differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(HUCMSCs) into human male germ cells,and to explore a new source of cells for the treatement of male infertility.MethodsHUCMSCs were transplanted into the seminiferous tubules of the testis of infertile mice by microinjection.The survival rate,migration and germ cell markers of HUCMSCs in the mice testis were detected via immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning. ResultsHUCMSCs can survive in the mice testis for at least 120 days,and they can migrate from the lumens to the basement membrane.Immunofluorescence showed that HUCMSCs can further differentiate in the mice testicular environment,and express the germ cell marker.ConclusionsHUCMSCs can survive,migrate and differentiate into early male germ cell-like cells in the infertility mice testis after transplantation.
