Objective To compare the effect and safety between lightwand and general-laryngo-scope application of trachea cannula in cervical spine fracture patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods Forty cervical spine fracture patients with tracheal intubation anesthesia were selected,including twenty-eight males and twelve females,aged 18-65 years,ASA physical statusⅡor Ⅲ.These patients were randomly divided into two groups,twenty cases in each group.After anesthesia induction,group L was giv-en general laryngoscope intubation,whereas group C was taken lightwand guided tracheal intubation.The success case of intubation at first,intubation time,adverse reaction of intubation,changes of MAP and HR at intubation and 5 minutes after intubation were observed.Results Compared with group L,success rate of intubation at first was higher (90% vs.60%),intubation time was shorter [(31.3±11.1)s vs.(46.6 ±15.2)s]in group C (P <0.05).The changes of MAP and HR were more stable during intubation in group C compared with group L.Four cases of arrhythmia (20%)occurred in group C,while none in group L.Conclusion Compared with intubation by general laryngoscope,application of tracheal intubation led by lightwand in cervical fracture patients is more effective and safer.

Objective To perform the main application of MRI arterial spin labeling (ASL) in cerebral blood flow (CBF) on hippocampus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy for quantitative measurement,to assess the relationship between temporal lobe epilepsy occurrence and hippocampal perfusion and to explore the critical value of hippocampal CBF predict the temporal lobe epilepsy early.Methods Forty-two subjects by video EEG (VEEG) and conventional MR sequences screend were divided into 3 groups eventually,namely group of healthy control,the group with one temporal lobe abnormal discharge,that conventional MRI in hippocampus is not abnormal and the last group with one side hippocampus sclerosis confirmed by conventional MRI in temporal lobe epilepsy patients,then for the hippocampal 3D ASL examination.We provided six same size regions of interest (ROI) in the hippocampal head,body,tail respectively with the best level display to measure and record bilateral hippocampal cerebral blood flow values (CBF values) of every subject,and to explore the relationship between the cerebral blood flow value in the hippocampus and temporal lobe epilepsy.Results Mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) value of each subject's unilateral hippocampus was calculated.The average CBF value of the hippocampus in the healthy control group was 53.82 ± 0.98ml/(100g · min).The average CBF of the hippocampus in epileptic unilateral abnormal discharge group with the ipsilateral and contralateral were 49.12 ± 5.31ml/(100g · min) and 55.99 ± 1.65ml/(100g · min).The average CBF of the hippocampus in epileptic unilateral hippocampal sclerosis group with the ipsilateral and contralateral were 39.57 ± 2.08ml/(100g · min) and 48.06 ± 1.74ml/(100g · min).Then pairwise comparison of the unilateral hippocampal average CBF value among the 3 groups of experimenters in different groups was performed.The results showed that in the eight times,the first six times had statistically significant differences.Comparing between the healthy control group and epilepsy unilateral temporal lobe abnormal discharge group,to calculates the best critical point by the ROC curve,the cut-off value was 46.76.Conclusion Magnetic resonance arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique can evaluate the cerebral blood flow in the hippocampus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy by quantitative measurement of hippocampal CBF value.The changes of hippocampal perfusion in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy should be preceded by the changes of imaging.ASL quantitative measurement of hippocampal CBF value is helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS) and multivariate statistical analysis was applied to metabonomic
study of drug-induced liver injury. This investigation focused on the liver injury in clinic which was induced by antitumor drug, traditional Chinese medicine, statins and antibiotics. After precipitated by cold acetonitrile, the serum samples were separated on a HSS T3-C18 column using water (containning 0. 01% formic acid) and acetonitrile as mobile phase by gradient elution. Based on metabonomic profiles analysis of the orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA ) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis ( PLS-DA) , 114 endogenous metabolites had been found to have significant differences between drug-induced liver injury patients and healthy volunteers, 38 endogenous metabolites have significant difference (p<0. 001). According to the results of the OPLS-DA, MS/MS data and human metabolome database ( HMDB) , phenylalanine and dimethylguanosine had been identified as potential biomarkers related to drug-induced liver injury for early discovery and diagnosis.

Objective To refine the technique and improve the efficacy of seminal vesiculoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of seminal vesicle disease.Methods The refined techniques of seminal vesculoscopy,using a patent catheter into the slit-like ejaculatory duct orifice through the verumontanum and another patent catheter introduced into seminal vesicle lumen,were performed in 58 cases,including intractable hematospermia in 42 cases and azoospermia in 16 cases.Results Seminal vesiculoscopy was successfully entered into the seminal vesicular lumen in 46 patients (79％) within 2-3 min.There was no obvious ejaculatory duct orifice in 12 of 16 azoopermia cases,and transurethral resection of verumontanum was performed,then seminal vesiculoscope was directly entered into seminal vesicle lumen.Symptoms of hematospermia were disappeared in 25 cases (60％),improved in 11 cases (26％),and azoospermia were cured in 6 cases (37％),improved in 5 (31％),unchanged in 5 (31％) during the follow-up period of 6-36 months (average 18 months).There were no major or minor complications in this series,and no urine reflux into ejaculatory duct in 19 cases demonstrated by contrast medium.Conclusion Refined seminal vesiculoscopy was technically safe,efficient,simple,and potentially widely used in the cases of hematospermia and ejaculatory duct obstructions.

This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of free-frying granules of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) on treatment of chronic prostatitis. A total of 120 chronic prostatitis patients that were diagnosed with the dampness-heat and blood-stasis syndrome and kidney-deficiency syndrome were divided into the TCM group and western medicine group by random digit table. Category II and ⅢA chronic prostatitis were treated with oral administration of Levofloxacin Mesylate Tablets (0.2 g, bid) and the category ⅢB chronic prostatitis was treated with oral administration of Terazosin Hydrochloride Tablets (2 mg, qd). In the TCM group, the dampness-heat and blood-stasis syndrome was treated with Tongluo Qingjie formula ( which was self-made formula containing Rhizoma Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae, Herba Patriniae, Semen Plantaginis, and etc.) and the kidney-deficiency syndrome was treated with Jiawei Wuzhi Yanzong pills (which containing Semen Cuscutae, Chinese Wolfberry, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Fructus Rubi and Schisandra chinensis, and etc.). Four weeks was one course of treatment. The results showed that the total effective rate of TCM group was better than that of western medicine group (P< 0.05). Effect of TCM group was obviously better than that of western medicine group in the improvement of prostatitis NIH-CPSI score, the quality of life and symptoms of the patients. TCM may increase lecithin corpuscle in prostatic fluid of ⅢA chronic prostatitis (P< 0.05). Meanwhile, no obvious toxiferous and side reactions were found. It was concluded that the free-frying granules of TCM have good efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Objective:To study the mechanism of the effectiveness loss of methotrexate(MTX)in the treatment of rheumatoid arthri-tis.Methods:The culture system of rat whole bone marrow cells(WBMCs)and tartrateresistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)staining were utilized to evaluate osteoclastogenesis.The mRNA expression of osteoclastogenesis factors in the WBMCs culture system was examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results:Deoxyadenosine(dAdo)decreased MTX-induced suppression of osteoclastogenesis.The recov-ery effect of dAdo on MTX was partially prevented by caffeine.MTX significantly reduced mRNA expression of receptor activator of nu-clear factor kappa-B ligand(RANKL),dAdo partially recovered RANKL mRNA expression and inhibited osteoprotegerin(OPG)expres-sion.Conclusion:The accumulation of dAdo may induce the effectiveness loss of methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis treatment.Com-bination of MTX and caffeine can be a potential therapeutic strategy.

Traditional medicine educational systems in Japan and China were compared.
In Japan, Kampo medicine has been integrated into the core curriculum of undergraduate education in all medical colleges since 2001. Japanese university medical schools give 6,000 hours of western medical educa tion, and only 30 hours of Kampo education. In China at Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) universities, nearly half of teaching hours are devoted to TCM, and half to Western medicine. And even at medical univer sities that specialize in Western medicine, students will usually have 80 hours in TCM courses. Usually it takes five years to graduate. In Japan, Kampo education puts a special focus on the Shang-han-lun and Jin-kui-yao lue texts, which still influence daily practice. In China, on the other hand, TCM doctors rely on traditional theories of Chinese medicine such as the Yin-Yang theory, the Five Elements theory or relationships between meridians and organs. Kampo specialists have been increasing in recent years, although in China, the number of TCM doctors has been decreasing. However, better traditional medicine education would play a role in in creasing our inheritance of both in Japan and in China.

Objective To analyze the clinical epidemiology of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) in the Xinjiang region. Methods Clinical data of the patients with PHC were collected at First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 5 577 cases from January 2002 to December 2014, their gender, race, age, household distribution, hepatitis virus-positive rate were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 5 577 eases, the men/women gender ratio was 3.45∶1;the proportion of Han, Uighur, Kazakh, and other ethnic groups (Hui, Mongolian, Manchu, Xibo) was 79.67%, 9.86%, 4.55%, 3.31%and 2.61%, respectively. The Constituent ratio difference between Uighur and Han was significant (P<0.05);4 232 patients had hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) detection, and 3 833 patients had HCV antibody (HCV-Ab) detection. HBsAg was positive in 2 560 cases (60.49%), HCV-Ab was positive in 490 cases (12.78%). Hepatitis B virus detection positive rate in Uygur was 35.52%, in Kazak was 40.00%, which was lower than the Han's (65.68%, P<0.05). Urban and rural population had 3589 cases (64.35%) and 1988 cases (35.65%). Conclusion An increased risk for PHC was found in hepatitis virus-positive patients, the Xinjiang Uygur and Kazak people had significantly lower prevalence of HBV infection than the Han's. Appropriate measures should be taken for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PHC.

BACKGROUND: With the extensive application of small animal imaging and imaging studies, it requires the investigators to master the cross-sectional anatomy of mice, but the anatomy of mouse nasal cavity and sinuses cannot be obtained through vivisection.OBJECTIVE: To establish a highly precise serial colorful sectional image data set of mice using digital virtual human technology.METHODS: An adult male Balb/c mouse was killed for freezing embedded using modified Kawamoto's method and was then serially scanned at 5 μm of thickness by Leica CM3600XP cryostat microtome. The sectional images were photographed with a 24 million pixels Nikon D750 camera and stored as JPG files. All images were preliminarily registered by manually cropping the images based on the edge of block surface using software photoshop 7.0. Then, the image size, brightness and registration were corrected and adjusted, and the format of the images was unified as TIFF. The data set was imported to Amira 6.0 and was registered again with least square method. The quality of the data set was evaluated by three-dimensional reconstruction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 6034 original images with a size of 87 GB were captured. After cropping, adjusting and registration, the final size was 184 G. The mouse three-dimensional reconstruction model was satisfactory. To conclude, the data set established using the method and system mentioned above is characterized by high resolution and high-fidelity, which might facilitate the further study of the precise anatomy of mice and other fundamental experiments.
