We detected varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA sequences in bullous lesions and skin biopsies obtained from healed skin lesions in 16 patients with herpes zoster using polymerase chain reaction. A 385 bp VZV DNA fragment was found in all the bullous lesions and in two of six biopsies from the skin lesions healed within two months. No VZV DNA was found in the skin lesions two months after healing in 10 cases of herpes zoster. VZV DNA may be detected at the sites of resolved herpes zoster lesions within short duration.

Objective To study the effect of evidence-based nursing combined with KAP model on health education to the parturients from suburbs.Methods According to problems in 200 pregnant women from suburban areas, health education was performed to them using evidence-based nursing and KAP model. The rate of access to knowledge, confidence about laboring, spontaneous participation in action to promote delivery, natural birth rate, episiotomy rate, breastfeeding rate and rate for satisfaction with midwives were compared between pre-and post-health education.Results After intervention, their access to knowledge, confidence about laboring, spontaneous participation in action to promote delivery were obviously improved than those before intervention(P<0.05). The rate of natural birth, cesarean delivery, forceps delivery and satisfaction with midwives were 66.0 %, 30.0 %, 1.0% and 94.4 %, respectively.Conclusion Evidence-based nursing and KAP model is effective in the health education to pregnant women from suburbs.

Objective To investigate the presentation and radiologic findings of MarchiafavaBignami disease (MBD).Methods Six cases of MBD who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,including the imaging examination(such as cranial CT,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)),laboratory tests,clinical symptoms and prognosis.Results Six cases of MBD disease were presented with swelled,thickened corpus callosum,iso-or hypo-intensity on T1WI,hyper-intensity on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery and restricted diffusion on diffusion weighted imaging.Coma of acute onset was the major clinical finding in case 1,case 4 and case 6,which showed the lesions in the entire corpus callosum and extended to the white matter,and the prognosis of these cases were worse.Slow reaction and memory decrease were the clinical findings in case 2 and case 3,which showed the genu and splenium of corpus callosum involvement on MRI and CT,and returned to normal with aggressive treatment.Numbness and weakness of the lower lambs were the major clinical finding in case 5,which showed that the lesion was limited in the splenium and body of corpus callosum on MRI.The patient recovered after treatment.Conclusions MBD may present with various clinical forms,but have characteristic imaging findings.Outset form and neuroimaging characteristics of MBD are critical for improvement of the clinical outcome.

Objective To study content and ascription of the composition of the polysaccharides from Zhou’s Prescription for Resolving Mass. Method The polysaccharide was extracted by ethanol precipitation, and purified by savage method. DEAE-cellulose anion exchange resin was used to prepare the composition of polysaccharides. UV-spectra was used to detect protein and IR-spectra was used to analyses the ascription of the composition of polysaccharides. The content of the composition of polysaccharides was determined by anthranone-sulfuric acid method. Result There was no absorption at 240 nm and 260 nm. The IR spectrum graph of the polysaccharides was similar to Polygonatum odoratum, Radix Ranunculi Ternati and Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. The content of the composition of polysaccharides was 1.41%. Conclusion The composition of polysaccharides does not contain proteins and nucleic acids, and come from Polygonatum odoratum, Radix Ranunculi Ternati and grimonia pilosa Ledeb.

AIM: To investigate the effect of erythromycin on the level of transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1) and ?-glutaglutamylcysteine synthetase(?-GCS) in smoking rats,and to explore the antioxidate therapeutic role of erythromycin in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.METHODS: Wistar rats were exposed to cigarettes smoking to establish the model.After passive smoking for 4 weeks,erythromycin intragastric intervention was administered continuously for 8 weeks.The expiratory airway resistance and lung compliance were assessed and the expression levels of TGF-?1 and ?-GCS proteins(and the mRNA) in airway endothelial cells and alveolar macrophages were observed respectively by immunohistochemical,immunocytochemical and(in situ) hybridization.RESULTS: The expiratory airway resistance was increased and the lung compliance was degraded significantly in smoking group and erythromycin group,compared to control group.In erythromycin group,the airway resistance was lower and the lung compliance was higher than that in smoking group(P

Objective To explore the effect of psychological intervention on patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Methods A total of 80 patients with advanced ovarian cancer patients combined with carboplatin or Western him paclitaxel combined with cisplatin in the treatment of patients, the implementation of grouping according to nursing, patients in the control group for routine care, patients in the observation group in the control group on the basis of psychological nursing. The two groups were observed and compared the clinical effect of intervention. Results The observation group the effective rate of the treatment and nursing satisfaction rate were significantly higher than the control group; the implementation of group nursing, observation group patients psychological status and improve the psychological status of patients in the observation group after treatment were better, and the control group have obvious difference. Conclusion For patients with advanced ovarian cancer chemotherapy, combined with psychological intervention on the basis of routine nursing, can significantly improve the treatment efficiency, improve the psychological status of patients, is worthy of clinical application

Objective To explore the effect of purification on monoclonal antibody (MAb) against PGRP by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and to provide some based data for the purification of other antibody using the same method. Methods The ascites which include MAb was purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purity and activity of MAb was tested by SDS-PAGE and ELISA. The biological function was identified by flow cytometer and immunohistochemistry. Results The average concentration of protein in ascites before purification is 23.62 mg/ml. Before and after purification, the total protein is 148.79 mg and 146.67 mg, respectively. The recovery coefficient of protein is 98.58%. The concentration of MAb in ascites is 5.21 mg/ml averagely. The MAb purity is more than 95 %. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. Conclusion The purity of MAb against PGRP purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography is very high. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. So the ProteinA-Sepharose affinity chromatography is a rapid, convenient and reliable method for the purification of MAb Against PGRP.

Objective In China primary hyperparathyroidism is not a kind of common disease as in the wesyrn countries.This article reports the current status in the diagnosis and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in the mainland of China. Methods We collected 730 cages of primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosed and treated in 7 top hospitals for endocrine surgery from 1965 to 2005.Results In this study.652(89.3%)cases were clinically symptomatic while 78(10.7%)cases were asymptomatic:442 cases were positive on 99mTc-MIBI scanning.Bilateral explorations were undertaken in 377 patients and unilateral or uni-gland exploration through the conventional incision in 204 cases.Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in 143 cases.Endoscopically assisted 2 cm incision was taken in 6 cases for unilateral gland exploration.Pathologically 632(86.6%)cases were identified as adenoma,58(8.3%)cases were of hyperplasia and 40(5.5%)cases were of carcinoma.There were no major postoperative complications.While 20 patients suffering from recurrence or persistent postoperative hyperparathyroidism,the others are of normal or depressed serum level of calcium. Conclusions Preoperative localization is very helpful: Unilateral exploration for parathyroid adenoma is feasible; minimally invasive parathyroidectomy throush minimal incision is a kind of improving procedure for the localized parathyroid adenoma.
