Objective To investigate the efficacy of mifepristone in the treatment of early ectopic pregnancy and its effect on the fertility of patients. Methods 90 patients with early ectopic pregnancy admitted in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with methotrexate. The combination group was treated with mifepristone. Patient treatment effectiveness and fertility. Results There were no significant differences in β-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and mass in the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the patients were significantly improved, the study group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). The rate of intrauterine pregnancy was significantly higher in the study group than that in the control group (P<0.05). The rate of ectopic pregnancy and secondary infertility were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05 ). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of mifepristone in the treatment of early ectopic pregnancy is ideal for the retention of patient fertility and should be promoted.

Purpose: To investigate a clinical treatment for allergic asthma. Method: Acupoint application was used, and its effect was compared with that of Western medicine to evaluate the results. Results and Conclusion: It was found that the long-tern effect of acupoint application was significantly better than that of aminophylline; acupoint application had obviously different effects on different types of asthma based on TCM differentiation of syndromes; its short-term effect was not significantly related to the course and condition of the disease. It is indicated that acupoint application is an effective, convenient and safe treatment with little side effect for asthma.

Objective To assess the safety and effica cy of local lidocaine anesthesia for pain control during transrectal ultrasound-g uided 10-core biopsy of the prostate. Methods Transrect al ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy was performed for 150 consecutive men beca use of an abnormal digital rectal examination and(or) abnormal transrectal ult rasound scan and(or) elevated prostate specific antigen.100 paients were rando mly assigned to receive an injection of 2% lidocaine (group 1,50 cases)or norm al saline(group 2,50 cases)into the lateral and apical periprostatic region,3 ml in each point,the other 50 patients(group 3) served as controls.Immediate ly after biopsy the pain score was recorded independently by a nurse using 10-p oint visual analog scale(VAS). Results The pain score range was 0 to 7.5 in the group 1,0 to 9.1 in the group 2 and 0 to 7.4 in the co ntrol group,the mean pain scores being 2.0 in the group 1,4.0 in the group 2 a nd 3.7 in the control group.The diffrence between group 1 and group 2、3 was sig nificant( P

0.05 ). Conclusions Lateral and apical periprostatic anesthesia can significantly diminish the pain and discomfort in those undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy without increasing the incidence of complications.We recommend that this procedure be routinely applied to all patients undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy.

AIM: To study the phosphatidylinositol metabolism of vascular endothelial cells exposed to projectile's pressure wave METHODS: The cultured endothelial cells were exposed to bullet's pressure wave as experimental model. The intracellular inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate(IP_3), intracellular free calcium ([Ca 2+ ]i), protein kinase C(PKC) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities in cultural medium were assayed after the cultured cells exposed to bullet's pressure wave. After blocking phosphatidylinositol metabolism with neomycin, the above biochemical parameters of cells exposed to bullet's pressure wave were also measured. RESULTS: Bullet's pressure wave induced increase in the intracellular IP_3, [Ca 2+ ]i, and PKC activity obviously. The change of LDH activity paralleled with above biochemical changes. Blocking phosphatidylinositol metabolism partially inhibited these changes. CONCLUSION: Bullet's pressure wave may activate phosphatidylinositol metabolism, which may trigger the injury to the endothelial cells and lead to leakage of plasmatic LDH.

Objective To evaluate the gastroesophageal reflux symptom in patients who underwent continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in treating gastroesophageal reflux. Methods Fifty-eight CAPD patients with good clinical and complete dialyzed eondition,who was admitted to the hospital between Jan. 2008 and July 2008, were inquired about their gastroesophageal reflux symptoms using reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ). The patients who had RDQ≥6 and <12 were received esomeprazole 20 mg daily, while those with RDQ≥12 were received esomeparzole 20 mg twice daily. RDQ score was reevaluated 4 weeks after treatment.Results The common symptom was regurgitation (64.70%), followed by acid reflux (52.9 %), non-cardic chest pain (47.1. %) and heart burn (17. 6%). After 4-week treatment, the RDQ was significantly decreased (P< 0. 05). But there was no difference in outcome of treatment between patients with RDQ≥ 12 and RDQ< 12 (P=0. 059). Conclusion The gastroesophageal reflux symptom in CAPD patients can be relieved by PPI administration, but a larger clinical trial is needed to evaluate the course and efficacy of treatment.

Objective To study the effect of sensory nerves on the expression of epidermal growth factor(EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) by fibroblasts in the granulation tissues in skin wound healing. Methods In vivo and in vitro studies were conducted. Fifty wistar rats were randomly divided into capsaicin group and control group. The rats in the capsaicin group were subcutaneously injected with neurotoxin dose of capsaicin(50 mg/kg for 3 days) to chemically destroy the sensory nerves. Full thickness skin incisive wound was made on the rat′s back on 8th day after last injection. The contents of substance P(SP), which was mainly released from afferent sensory nerve terminal, and EGF, bFGF in granulation tissue of skin lesion were determined using immunohistochemistry combined with computerized imaging analysis on 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th days after the incision. In the control group no capsaicin was injected. In the in vitro study the fibroblasts from granulation tissue of rats were cultured with different doses of SP(10-9 ~ 10-5 mol/L), and the protein expression of EGF, bFGF by cultured fibroblasts was determined using Western blot. Results Immunoreactive SP was not only found around the small blood vessels and in the intercellular space, but also in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts in granulation tissue. SP content and the protein expression of EGF, bFGF in granulation tissue decreased in the capsaicin group, compared with those in the control group, which indicated that SP(10-7 mol/L) added into the culture medium for fibroblasts could upregulate the levels of EGF, bFGF expression. Conclusions Protein expression of EGF and bFGF by fibroblasts in granulation tissue in skin wound healing might be related with the SP released from sensory nerves.

Objective To study the characteristics of craniocerebral injury caused by the handgun bullet impacting on the bulletproof helmet.Methods Fourteen healthy landrace pigs were involved and randomly divided into injury group(n =9)and control group(n =5).The landrace pigs of the injury group were shot vertically on the head under the protection of helmet plate with 9 mm handgun bullet at velocity of 360 m/s.While the landrace pigs of the control group were dealt with the same process as the injury group except for use of unarmed handgun bullet of the same ammunition dose.The changes of vital sign in the early period and the retina injury at two hours after injury were observed.Porcine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)at pre-injury and at three hours post-injury were obtained for investigating the levels of neuron specific enolase(NSE)andαⅡ-spectrin protein.Then,the landrace pigs were sacrificed and dissected to examine the general morphological changes of the brain.The brain cortex was taken,fixed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for microscopic observation.Results The landrace pigs in the injury group manifested decrease of the blood pressure and increase of the heart rate and respiratory rate in the early stage after injury.General morphological observation found retinal hemorrhage(3/9),skull fracture(3/9)and brain surface damage including local impact lesion(9/9)and contrecoup lesion(9/9),with severe impact lesion than contrecoup lesion.Optical microscopic observation revealed acute injury of the cerebral cortex neuron both on the impact and contrecoup locations.The concentrations of NSE and αⅡ-spectrinwere significantly increased in CSF three hours after injury(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The handgun bullet impacts on the pig head protected by the bulletproof helmet may induce blunt craniocerebral injury in the early period,with severe impact lesion than contrecoup lesion.Therefore,traumatic brain injury of the soldiers armed with the helmets should be stressed and managed early.

Objective　To investigate the surgical management of a gun shot wound of blood vessels and immersied, and evaluate its primary effect. Methods　100 rabbits were divided randomly into simple wounded group(SWG,n=50) and seawater immersion group(SIG,n=50).F emoral arteries were impacted by 0.38 gram steel spheres with velocity of 600 ～800 meters per second fired by 7.62 mm rifle. Animals in SIG were immersed in artificial seawater (pH 8.2～8.4, salinity 25.4,temperature 21℃) for 60 min, o f which those in SWG were spared. Grossly injuried artery was excised and restor ation of blood flow was reconstructed by end-to-end anastomosis or reversed au togenous venous grafting or cryopreserved arterial allografting. At 24 h,7,1 4,21 days after operation, blood flow was examined by Doppler ultrasonic detecti on and part of anastomotic sites and graft were collected for pathological obser vation. Results　In completely transected injury, the patency in SIG was 80.00%,while that in SWG was 86.67% in the first 3 weeks. In arterial c ontused injury ,patency in SIG was 86.67%,and that in SWG was 82.35% at the same time. Thrombosis occurred mostly in the first postoperative week. Atypical endo thelial cells were found at the anastomosis sites in the first postoperative week, and the anastomosis sites were lined with endothelium in 3 weeks postopera tively. Conclusion　Early curative effect could be obtained. Whe n grossly injuried artery is excised and followed by a routine surgical procedur e in the treating gunshot wounds immersed in seawater.
