Objective To assess the value of CT in the diagnosis of PRF,and analyze the reason of misdiagnosis. Methods Retrospectively analyze the CT data of ten patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis,which were confirmed by the clinical pathology.All the patients underwent CT scan and enhanced scan.Two experienced physicians using the blind method to evaluate the location, boundary, density, invasion on the surrounding tissue and enhancement of retroperitoneal fibrosis lesions respectively.Results All patients with CT scan findings were retroperitoneal irregular-shaped soft tissue lesions,which was similar to muscle density.6 cases with surrounding the retroperitoneal vessel, 2 cases with expansion and hydrops of renal pelvis and ureter.By enhanced scan,9 cases with different degrees of enhancement,1 case without obvious enhancement.6 cases were misdiagnosed as retroperitoneal schwannoma or lymphoma. Conclusion CT can show the characteristics of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Comprehensively analyze various imaging findings is helpful for the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Misdiagnosis reason is mainly due to retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease,and understanding of this disease in imaging findings is insufficient in the daily work.

The Many experiments show that pH affect the growth of romastigotes of L donovani. But the control tests with Acid - base scale have not been reported on the growth of promastigotes from different genesis. This paper reports that pH has different nfluence on several kinds of promastigotes from different genesis. We obseved that the growth of promastigotes of L. doncvani is inhibited when pH is 4.6 and 8.6.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of low dose thalidomide combined with chemotherapy in treatment of multiple myeloma(MM)and the clinical curative effect of the treatment method.Methods From June 2010 to June 2012,80 patients were diagnosed with multiple myeloma as the research object in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Haining,randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 40 cases in each group.The control group adopted conventional chemotherapy,the observation group were given low dose thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy.The clinical effect and adverse drug reactions were compared. Results The total effective rate of observation group (87.5%)was significantly higher than that of control group(65.0%)(P<0.05).The adverse reactions were 87.5%(35/40)in observation group and 100.0%(40/40)in control group,there was no significant difference between the two groups.The mean progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in observation group(5.5 ±1.2 months;1 1.5 ±2.4 months)were higher than those in control group(3.7 ±0.8 months;8.5 ±1.3 months)(P<0.05 ). Conclusion Low dose thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy in the treatment of multiple myeloma can improve clinical effect and decrease recurrence rate,with high safety and less adverse reactions.

Objective To observe the effects of autologous myoblast transplantation on endplate regeneration and neuromuscular function restoration following direct nerve implantation (DNI) in rats so as to offer experimental basis for the use of myoblasts in neural regeneration area and further lay foundation for the research using myoblasts as transgenic carriers. Methods A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 10 rats in each group.Models of DNI in rat gastrocnemius were established.The experimental group was injected with primarily cultured autologous myoblasts to the DNI location,while the control group was injected with isometric medium without autologous myoblasts.The effects of myoblasts on the neuromuscular function recovery following DNI were studied by detecting the tibial functional index (FTI),neuro-electrophysiology and pathohistology.Results The experimental group displayed faster tibial nerve function recovery than the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The peak to peak value (PPV) of gastrocnemius neuro-electrophysiology,area under the curve and regenerated endplate number of the experimental group had statistical significances as compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Myoblast autotransplantation accelerates the recoveryof neuromuscular function after rat DNI and increases the number of the regenerated endplates.

Objective To investigate a new method in correction of epicanthus.Methods Asymmetrical Z-plasty was used in correcting epicanthus and lengthening palpebral fissure in 42 cases with 84 eyes.It could be combined with double-eyelid-blepharoplasty to create beautiful eyes.Results All 42 cases with 84 eyes had satisfactory outcome after half a year to 2 years follow-up.The epicanthus scar was conspicuous in the first 6 weeks and it subsided gradually.In the three cases.the hypertrophic scar occurred in the epicanthus,but it softened and became inconspieuous 6 mouths after operation.Conclusion Asymmetrical Z-plasty is a new and reliable method for correction of epicanthus with inconspicuous scar and little chance of recurrence that can be widely used.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignant tumor in children. With advanced clinical technologies there are more and more methods available to treat retinoblastoma, and make it is possible to delivery individualized protocol combined traditional treatments with modern regimen to patients now. In order to improve the survival rate and the life quality of RB patients in China, it is very important to make a suitable system of standardized therapy based on results from developed countries and health policies of our own country.

Objective To study the neurotoxicity of lead to mice and the mechanism. Methods Two months old(grown) and two weeks old(infancy) mice were employed, 1 ?l of 1 mol/L lead acetate was given by brain ventricle injection, 3 d, 5 d, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after treatment with lead, the change of autonomic activities and the ability of study and memory of the mice were examined. Results The latency period of Lashley Ⅲ water maze prolonged significantly in grown group and the infancy group compared with the control groups at every time point of test. Conclusion Lead exposure can damage the function of study and memory of mice, and increase the frequency of autonomic activities of theirs.

Objective:To provide ideas for the participation of clinical pharmacists in clinical individualized medication.Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in the clinical consultation for one senior patient with acute cholangitis treated with biapenem.Results:The consultation comments and suggestions proposed by clinical pharmacists were accepted by clinics,which played an important role in assisting doctors in the rational drug use and significantly improved the medical treatment.Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should participate in individualized medication and help clinicians optimize drug therapy,which can improve the safety and efficacy of medication.

OBJECTIVE:To study the characteristics and general pattern of the adverse drug reactions(ADR)occurred in our hospital.METHODS:A total of 125 ADR cases collected in our hospital during 2007 were analyzed statistically in respect of patients' age and sex,route of administration,serious ADR,drug combination,past ADR history,drug kinds,ADR-involved organs or systems and clinical manifestations etc.RESULTS:Of the total 125 ADR cases,11 categories or 62 kinds of drugs were involved,with antimicrobial drugs took the lead which caused ADRs in 65 cases(52.0%)followed by Chinese patent agents which caused ADR in 38 cases(30.4%).102(81.6%)ADR cases were induced by intravenous route.Lesions of skin and appendants were the most common presentations of the ADR,which appeared in 70 cases(52.24%).10(8.0%)were severe cases.CONCLUSION:Importance should be attached to the reporting and monitoring of ADR so as to lessen or avoid the occurrence of ADR in the clinic meanwhile promoting rational use of drugs and ensure medication safety.
