OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of compound amino acids capsul es on hypoalbuminemia in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.METHODS:30hemodialysis patients were selected to orally take2compound amino acids capsules(0.35g per capsule)twice daily for12weeks,renal and liver function and levels of serum albumin and pre-albumin were measured before and after the experiment.RESULTS:The levels of serum albumin and pre-albumin were increased significantly after the treatment,it were(30.5?4.6)g/L vs(35.9?7.1)g/L,and(213.0?46.9)mg/L vs(275.8?52.3)mg/L respectively(P

Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy in the endocrine system .In recent years ,the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased year by year ,which sparked people′s attention.With the development of thyroid cancer research ,it is found that cytokines play a key role in the occurrence and development of tumor .At present ,the cause of thyroid carcinoma and mechanism is not yet entirely clear ,however ,the occurrence of thyroid cancer is possiblely associated with the body regulating cellular immune dysfunction .Cytokines play an important role in the whole process ,in which the relationship between cytokines IFN -γ,IL-6 and thyroid carcinoma is closely related .

Objecfive To investigate the prevalence of Ureaplasma urealyticum(UU)and Mycoplasma hominis(MH)infections in urogenital tract and their sensitivities to drugs in Qinhuangdao area from 2006 to 2007.Methods UU and MH were detected by Mycoplasma IST kits in urine samples from 3062 patients suspected as urogenital tract infection and the sensitivity tests for 8 antimicrobial agents were performed.Results Mycolasmas were detected in 1262 patients from 3062 patients suspected as urogenital tract infection,in which 1037 were of UU infection,41 were of MH infection and 184 were of UU+MH infection.Both strains were sensitive to josamycin,doxycycline and tetracycline,but were less sensitive to ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin.Conclusions Drug resistance is increasing for Mycoplasma and sensitivity test is important in treatment of urogenital tract infection by Mycoplasma.

OBJECTIVE To study the constituent ratio of the pathogenic fungi of blood culture in recent 24 months and their resistance in our hospital.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/AlerT120 and the isolated pathogenic fungi were identified by API identified tests(API Inc,France).In(addition) antibiotics sensitivity test was by K-B.RESULTS Of the specimens in 4135 cases,there were 110 strains((2.7%)) with Candida albicans(29%).C.tropicalis(21%) and C.portugal(9%).The(specimens) come from(hepatobilliary)(25%),neurosurgery(24%) and emergency(10%) departments.CONCLUSIONS It is important and necessary to monitor the circumstance of fungal(infection) and resistance of the pathogenic fungi due to its(morbidity) increased.

Objective To study the feasibility of trans-supraorbital keyhole approach microsurgery for sellar tumors.Methods The operation was conducted under combined intravenous general anesthesia and the patient was maintained at a dorsal position.A skin incision was made along the lateral eyebrow at 3.5~4.0 cm in length.The frontal muscle periosteous flap was draged upwards and the orbicularis muscle periosteous flap was dragged downwards.Then the tempotal muscle was dragged laterally.The position of the keyhole was located behind the temporal line.By using a milling cutter,a bone window 2 cm ? 3 cm in size was made medially.The inner margin of the supraorbital skull was shaped to expand the visual field of microsurgery.The cerebral dura mate was opened curvily,with the base directing to the orbital margin.The frontal lobe was elevated gently and the cerebrospinal fluid was drained.The tumor was fully exposed and resected.Results Total resection of tumor was achieved in 22 cases,and part of posterior tumor membrane remained in 2 cases of craniopharyngioma.Hypoadrenocorticism occurred in 1 case of ACTH adenoma after operation and a hormone replacement therapy was required. Temporary postoperative diabetes insipidus occurred in 8 cases and was relieved after 1 week.The postoperative urinary volume decreased significantly in 9 cases of preoperative diabetes insipidus.Visual disorder on the operational side was aggravated after operation in 1 case of tuberculum sellae meningioma,and was gradually improved after 1 week.No recurrence was observed under MRI examination in 18 cases at 3 months after operation.Conclusions Trans-supraorbital keyhole approach microsurgery is feasible,and it gives minimal operational trauma,thorough resection of tumor,and good cosmetic outcomes.

Objective To explore the presence of common genetic alterations in retinoblastoma and to localize the altered genomic regions. Methods Genetic instability of chromosome 19, 20, 21, 22 and X of 15 microdissected retinoblastoma tumors were analyzed by the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI). Results Among the 15 patients with retinoblastoma, genome instability [LOH and(or) MSI] at one or more loci on the 5 chromosomes in 10 (67%), in which the loss of a single allele was more frequent in chromosomes 19 (33%) and 20 (27%) than in the other 3 chromosomes. High-frequency LOH between D19S902 and D19S571 suggested gene loci in the 19q13 region might be associated with tumor development in retina. According to the result of MSI, MSI occured at least in one subset of retinoblastoma. Conclusions Our results provide first evidence of LOH in chromosomes 19 and 20 in retinoblastoma and further support the presence of genome instability in retinoblastoma that may play an important role in the tumorigenesis or progression of retinoblastoma.

Objective To compare the prognosis of ST elevation acute myocardial infarction(STEMI) of delayed emergency per‐cutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) and elective PCI following the thrombolysis with reteplase ,and to investigate the clinic value of the former solution .Methods One hundred and twenty STEMI patients were reviewed retrospectively and were divided into 2 groups according to PCI .Eighty two cases were divided into emergency group :thrombolysis with reteplase offered within 6h was followed by elective PCI;38 cases were divided into delayed group:PCI was done after 12-24 h after ATEMI′occurring .The clini‐cal features and CTG changes were recorded ,TIMI class of IRA was conducted before and after PCI ,and their prognosis were com‐pared .Results There was no statistical differences in the class of thrombolysis of myocardial infarction(Class 0 -1 ,2 -3) of in‐farction relative artery (IRA)(4 .88% ,95 .12% vs .5 .26% ,94 .74% ) after PCI(P>0 .05) .There was no statistical difference in LVEF ,LVEDVI and LVESVI 3 months after attack between two groups(P>0 .05) .There was statistical difference in the severe cardiac failure and malignancy arrhythmia between two groups(P<0 .05) ,while no statistical difference exist in angina after infarc‐tion as well as cardiac mortality after attack between two groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Delayed emergency PCI to remove the ob‐struction in the coronary artery has no significant difference with elective PCI following thrombolysis in the incidence of composite end point events in STEMI .
