Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of joint-corresponding point selection plus exercise acupuncture in treating acute ankle sprain.Method Enrolled 70 patients with acute ankle sprain were randomly allocated to two groups.The treatment group received joint-corresponding point selection plus exercise acupuncture and the control group,elastic bandage fixation.Both groups were given ice compress,mobilizationand elevation as auxiliary measures.Treatment was provided seven days as one coursefor a total of two courses.The pain, tenderness, swelling andrange of activitieswere scored in the two groups of patients before and after treatment.Thetherapeutic effects were compared.Result The total efficacy rate was 88.6% in the treatment groupand54.3% in the control group.The therapeutic effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.01). Joint pain, tenderness, swelling and activity scores decreased in the two groups after treatment (P<0.01). Joint tenderness and activity scores were lower in the treatment group than in the control group after treatment (P<0.01).Conclusion Joint-corresponding point selection plus exercise acupuncture has clinically a marked therapeutic effect on acute ankle sprain.

Objective To discuss digital subtraction angiography(DSA)findings and interventional treatment of broncho-costoarterial pulmonary circulation fistula(BPF).Methods Fifty one patients with massive hemoptysis were undergone DSA showing 19 cases with BPF.All BPF were cmbolized with 500～700?PVA, silk particles and segments,and steel coil;separately or in combination according to shunt orifice size and blood flow velocity.Results There were 4 types of BPF demonstrated by DSA according to feeding and drainage vessels,including 13 cases of bronchial artery-pulmonary artery shunt(AAS),2 cases of bronchial artery-pulmonary venous shunt(AVS),3 cases of intercostal artery-pulmonary artery shunt(IAPS)and 1 case of bronchial arteriovenous malformatoin(B-AVM).All patients were followed up for 1～4 years,with 18 cases of complete symptomless during 7 days postoperatively obtaining,the effective rate of 94.7%.There were 3 recurrent cases within 1 year with the recurrent rate of 15.79%.Conlusions BPF is the main factor for inducing and aggrevating pulmonary hemoptysis and interventional embolization serves as a safe and effective treatment.The method could be used repeatedly for recurrent cases and furthermore emphasis should be put on treating the primary pulmonary diseases simultaneously.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:84-87)

Background Package and tissue patch implantation are common methods for repair of filtering bleb leaking after anti-glaucoma surgery.But the scarring or re-leakage of filtering bleb probably occur again.Objective This study was to investigate the repair effect of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on filtering bleb leaking in rabbit model and compare the effectiveness among ADM,amniotic membrane and conjunctival overlap.Methods Trabeculectomy was performed on 48 eyes of 24 New Zealand rabbits,and models of filtering bleb leaking were established.The models were randomized into ADM group,amniotic membrane group and conjunctival covering group based on randomized number table.ADM patches with 4 mm×4 mm were implanted across lamellar cornea and sclera at a bridge in the ADM group,and the same size of amniotic membranes were used in the amniotic membrane group,and conjunctiva was sutured to limbus in the conjunctiva overlap group.The intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured before surgery and 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery.The biocompatibility of materials above was assessed under the slit lamp microscope,and the status of filtering bleb was evaluated and compared with anterior segment optical coherent tomography (AS-OCT) 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery.Results Before surgery and 1 day,1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery,the IOP was (26.9±4.3),(16.6±5.1),(22.1 ±6.2),(18.3±6.5),(22.7±2.5),(23.4±1.4) mmHg in the AMD group,(29.9±5.4),(14.9 ± 6.4),(21.6 ± 7.8),(26.3 ± 4.1),(26.0 ± 4.2) and (23.0 ± 5.3) mmHg in the amniotic membrane group,and (28.7 ±4.3),(15.7 ±7.0),(22.0±6.3),(28.2±4.1),(24.7 ±4.1),(23.0±2.7) mmHg in the conjunctival overlap group,showing significant differences among different groups and various time points (Fgroup =8.419,P=0.011 ;Ftme =15.543,P=0.000).The IOPs were significantly lower from 1 day through 3 months after operation than those before operation in the AMD group (P =0.000,0.000,0.006,0.045) ; while the IOPs were reduced only from 1 day through 1 week after operation in comparison with before operation in the amniotic membrane group and the conjunctival overlap group (P =0.000,0.001).One month after surgery,the IOPs were significantly declined in the ADM group compared with the amniotic membrane group and the conjunctival overlap group (P =0.001,0.000).The grafts were clear under the slit lamp microscope and exhibited the valid filtering bleb until 3 months after operation under the AS-OCT in the ADM group.However,the valid filtering bleb remained only 1 month after surgery in the amniotic membrane group and the conjunctival overlap group.Neovascularization on the filtering bleb was found 3 months in the AMD group but 1 month in the amniotic membrane group and the conjunctival overlap group.Conclusions Compared with amniotic membrane and conjunctival tissue,ADM patch for the repair of filtering bleb leakage can increase the survival duration of filtering bleb and remain lower IOP.

Objective To evaluate the clinical impact of 18F-FDG PET/CT on patients with suspected cervical cancer recurrence. Methods Fifty-one cervical cancer patients, clinically suspected to have tumor recurrence during follow-up, underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination. 18 F-FDG PET/CT results were compared with those of conventional images, as referred to histopathology or clinical follow-up. Impacts of 18F-FDG PET/CT were evaluated based on documented changes of clinical management. Results In total, 43 patients were found to have positive lesions by 18F-FDG PET/CT, in which 40 were true recurrence,but 2 were pelvic abscess and 1 was radiation enterocolitis. Other 8 patients were found negative by 18F-FDG PET/CT and confirmed by pathology or follow-up. In patient-based analyses, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of tumor recurrence were 100% (40/40), 72. 73% (8/11),and 94.12% (48/51) respectively. In 7 patients, the clinical management was changed due to 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT is an efficient tool for determining the recurrence of cervical cancer and instructing the clinical management.

Objective To investigate relationship of platelet (PLT) count with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with breast cancer,and explore the susceptibility index to evaluate prognosis of patients with breast cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 498 patients with breast cancer in January 1995 to December 2005 was carried out.PLT count was tested.Those patients were divided into group A (PLT ＜ 150 × 109/L),group B[(150-250) × 109/L],and group C (PLT ＞ 250 × 109/L) according to PLT count level.The relationship of platelet count with clinicopathological features was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards model were used for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis of PLT impact on survival time.Results There was positively correlated between PLT count and clinicopathological features (Pearson coefficient ＞ 0,P ＜ 0.05).There was negative correlated between PLT count and survival time (Pearson coefficient =-O.583,P ＜ 0.05).The survival time of groups A,B and C were significantly different (P =0.018).Cox proportional hazards model multi-factor analysis showed that PLT count was an independent factors affecting survival time (OR =2.256,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patients with breast cancer associated with increased emphasis and PLT count.PLT count had negative correlation with survival time.PLT count could be a susceptible index to predict the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.

Objective To explore the role of CD3 +CD8 +T cells in children with severe bacterial meningitis at early stage by studying the changes of CD3 +CD8 +T cells and its relationships with markers of inflammation and humoral immunity. Methods Thirty-nine cases aged ≤14 years old were enrolled in this retrospective study,who were admitted in our PICU from Aug 1. 2014 to Dec 31. 2015 with diagnosis of se-vere bacterial meningitis. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the changes of CD3 +CD8 + T cells:group A:normal or elevated(≥190/mm3,n=22),group B:decreased( <190/mm3,n=17). Distribu-tion and differences of biomarkers of inflammation,humoral immunity and changes in cerebrospinal fluid be-tween the two groups were analyzed. Results The ratio of CD3 + CD8 + T cells were decreased in 17 (43. 6%)cases. Though there was no statisticly significant difference,the percentile of patients in group B (58. 8%) with Glasgow coma score lower than 8 was higher than that in group A(31. 8%). All the four death were in group B. The mean values of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin were 251. 0(26. 2,417. 0) mg/L,32. 7(0. 9,100. 0) ng/L in group B,which were higher than those in group A[106. 5(12. 0,458. 0) mg/L,4. 5(0. 1,200. 0)ng/L],respectively(P<0. 05). Six cases(35. 3%) in group B with WBC<4 × 109/L was more than 1 case(4. 6%) in group A,and 12 cases(70. 6%) in group B with ratio of neutrophils>80% was more than 7 cases(31. 8%) in group A,there were significant differences(P<0. 05). Fourteen cases(82. 3%) with glucose concentration lower than 2. 0 mmol/L in group B was more than 11 cases (50. 0%) in group A,the difference was significant(P<0. 05). Conclusion CD3 +CD8 +T cells might be suppressed in children with severe bacterial meningitis at early stage,and might associate to the damaging de-gree of brain,inflammation reaction and prognosis in those patients,which should be helpful in using of im-mune regulators for children with severe bacterial meningitis.

Wistar rats were intragastrically administered with different doses (2, 5 and 10 g / kg body weight) of haematitum. 1H NMR-based metabonomic analysis coupled with multivariate statistical analysis (principal component analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis) was used to analyze the metabolic profiles of the urine samples collected from the treated rats. Univariate analysis on the 1H NMR spectra of urine (1 d before administration, 1-5 d post administration) was used to screen out the potential features of haematitum. Significant treatment related changes were observed for the levels of citrate, tuarine, creatinine,α-ketoglutarate, succinate and dimethylglycine, which could be used as potential features of haematitum. A trend of recovery in connection with dose levels was observed overtime. Such biochemical changes indicated that haematitum treatment at the dose of 2, 5 and 10 g / kg body weight affected the Krebs cycle and glucose metabolism, energy metabolism, choline metabolism and dimethylglycine metabolism in rats. These changes may attribute to the disturbances of hepatic function in 10 g / kg body weight group.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of antibiotics in general hospitals of Ningbo. METHODS Totally 4 391 case history records in April,2004 of 12 hospitals were investigated on the use of antibiotics. RESULTS Medicines incomes accounted for 55.16% in total revenue in a hospital,and antibiotics accounted for 32.66% among medicines incomes.Antibiotics using rate was 62.11% in internal medicine departments.The percentage of antibiotics using without evidence was 23.92%,the combined antibiotics using rate was 49.89%.The average duration for antibiotics using was 10.83 days.Antibiotics using rate in surgery departments before operation was 71.00%,during operation was 20.48%,the combined antibiotics using rate during operation was 14.50%,antibiotics using rate after operation was 96.55%.Antibiotics using for treatment accounted for 62.37% and for prevention was 24.17%. CONCLUSIONS Antibiotics using rate is high in hospitals in Ningbo.Income of medicine is also an important part of total revenue in a hospital.We should pay more attention to management on clinical use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression and distribution of intrahepatic CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in immuno-tolerant and immuno-clearance phase of patients with chronic hepatitis B.

METHODSThe expression of FoxP3 was detected in 19 cases of immuno-tolerant phase and 12 cases of immuno-clearance phase by immunohistochemistry. The relation between the intrahepatic expression of FoxP3 and the clinicopathological features were analyzed.

RESULTSThe positive signal of FoxP3 is located in nuclear of lymphocyte and mainly aggregated in portal areas as well as occasionally scattered in hepatic sinusoids. The expression of intrahepatic FoxP3 in the group of immuno-tolerant phase was significantly increased than those in normal control (P < 0.01), and greatly decreased than those in immuno-clearance phase (P < 0.01). No correlation was observed among the expression of intrahepatic FoxP3, ALT, levels of HBV DNA, HBeAg positive, in patients of immuno-clearance phase, respectively. There were significant differences between immuno-tolerant phase and immuno-clearance phase age, ALT, TBIL, PTA, HBV-DNA and detection of HBeAg but not in sex and family history of HBV infection.

CONCLUSIONCD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells may play important roles in the clearance of HBV as well as in liver inflammation and injury during chronic HBV infection.
