1.Hemodynamic mechanisms of intracranial aneurysm formation
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(9):696-700
The etiology and pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA) remains unclear.In recent years,with the deepening of the studies,the hemodynamic factor and its caused vascular wall changes in the roles of occurrence,development and rupture process of IA are receiving increasing attention.

Objective To evaluate CT and bronchofiberscopic value in diagnosing bronchogenic stenosis.Methods The CT and bronchofiberscopic appearances of bronchogenic stenosis in 45 cases were analysed comparatively with the results of the pathological examinations.Results Among the 45 cases, there were central pulmonary carcinoma in 25 patients, endobronchial tuberculosis in 10 patients, bronchogenic pneumonia in 9 patients and radiation pneumonia in 1 patient all confirmed pathologically. Conclusion CT and bronchofiberscope are of respectively advantages in diagnosing bronchogenic stenosis,combining both of them,the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchogenic stenosis can be improved.

[Summary] To determine how endocrinologists in China access and treat patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) and gain insight on how to make the management of this disease more uniform and standardized in the context that management of GO continues to be challenging.Based on the questionnaire used in the European survey on GO,a questionnaire in Chinese was drafted and circulated to the members of Chinese Society of Endocrinology (CSE).There were a total of 124 valid responders.The majority (94.4%) of the responders believe that a muhidisciplinary approaches for GO management is valuable.Over 80% of the participants advocated the evaluation of exophthalmometry,vision,visual fields by perimetry,eye movements,fundoscopy,TSH receptor antibodies,thyroid function,and ultrasound.Steroids were preferred as the first-line therapy by 92.7% of responders,among them,59.7% choose intravenous route.The treatment strategy for GO with intravenous glucocorticoids therapy still remains debated.Antithyroid drugs were the most common choice (72.6%) for first-line therapy of thyrotoxicosis.Treatment options for GO were very similar among Chinese,Latin-American,and European responders,though radioactive iodine and surgical treatment were more often indicated in China.The appropriate treatment of the patient with GO is controversial even amongst thyroid specialists.Further training of clinicians,easier access of patients to specialist multidisciplinary centres,and the publication of practice guidelines may help improving the management of this condition in China.

Rutin,a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables,is a potential anticancer compound with strong anti-cancer activity.Therefore,electrochemical sensor was developed for the detection of rutin.In this study,CoWO4 nanosheets were synthesized via a hydrothermal method,and porous carbon(PC)was prepared via high-temperature pyrolysis.Successful preparation of the materials was confirmed,and character-ization was performed by transmission electron microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.A mixture of PC and CoWO4 nanosheets was used as an electrode modifier to fabricate the electrochemical sensor for the electrochemical determination of rutin.The 3D CoWO4 nanosheets exhibited high electrocatalytic activity and good stability.PC has a high surface-to-volume ratio and superior conductivity.Moreover,the hydrophobicity of PC allows large amounts of rutin to be adsorbed,thereby increasing the concentration of rutin at the electrode surface.Owing to the syn-ergistic effect of the 3D CoWO4 nanosheets and PC,the developed electrochemical sensor was employed to quantitively determine rutin with high stability and sensitivity.The sensor showed a good linear range(5-5000 ng/mL)with a detection limit of O.45 ng/mL.The developed sensor was successfully applied to the determination of rutin in crushed tablets and human serum samples.

Yuebawei refers to 8 kinds of genuine medicinal materials in south China area,namely Citri Grandis Exocarpium, Citrus reticulata, Amomum villosum, Pogostemon cablin, Morinda officinalis, Aquilaria sinensis, Citrus medica and Polygonum multiflorum. The results of this review show that, the pharmacological effects of Yuebawei are very extensive. It has significant effects in relieving cough and phlegm, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, enhancing immunity, anti-oxidation, antidepressant, immune regulation and regulating gastrointestinal function. Its development and application prospects are broad, but most of the existing pharmacological studies stay on pharmacodynamic studies. In the aspect of the safety research of Yuebawei, there are few studies on the safety of other medicinal materials, except for the liver toxicity of P. multiflorum; at the same time, there are few comparative studies on the therapeutic advantages of Yuebawei and other local medicinal materials in clinical application. It is necessary to strengthen the research on the material basis of pharmacological action mechanism, and safety and efficacy observation of clinical medication for Yuebawei, so as to provide scientific basis for the development of new drugs and clinical promotion and application of Yuebawei.
