[Objective] To explore the application effect of continuous nursing quality improvement in the management of Department of Endocrinology. [Methods] In our hospital from 2009 January to 2009 December in Department of Endocrinology, 60 patients were randomly divided into two groups, conventional nursing was administered to 30 patients in the control group and the observation group 30 patients with the implementation of continuous quality improvement in nursing measures on the basis of routine nursing, nursing satisfaction of patients was observed in two groups.[Results] The analysis of nursing was compared between two groups of patients, in the observation group, patients' satisfaction with nursing care was 100%, in the control group, patients' satisfaction with nursing care 83.3%, patients' satisfaction to nursing care of observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, comparing two groups of data had significant differences statistical y.[Conclusion] In clinical practice, the application has a good effect for improving the quality of care in the Department of Endocrinology management, effectively improving the patients' satisfaction to nursing care, worthy of application and promotion in clinical practice.

Objective: To optimize the extraction process for Huazhuoqingshen Capsules (Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, etc.) Methods: The process was studied by orthogonal design with yield of extract, the content of hesperidin and emodin as the detective markers. Results: The optimum process was that 60% alcohol was used as extracting solution, adding 8 times amount of solution, extracting 3 times (1h each time.) Conclusion: The content of valid was high and its stability was good when the extraction was used. This extraction process was suitable for industrial production.

Referring to relative documents,it reviews the developments on the relation between IIS and gastro-intestinal hormones(gastrin,gallbladder bile-syst contractin,active vessel intestinal peptide and article P),and sums up the relativity study on the relativity between different TCM types of IIS and gastro-intestinal hormones secretion level.

Hyperlipidemia is an important risk factor of cardio-/cerebrovascular disease, and reducing lipids has become an important project for itsclinical preventing and treating. Western medicine, with its confirmative efficacy and clear mechanism, has played an irreplaceable role. Along with the development of modern medicine, integrative medicine has gradually become a growing trend in regulating blood lipids metabolism. It not only could make up the insufficient power for Chinese medicine in lowering lipids, but also could reduce adverse reactions and economic costs brought by long-term administration of Western medicine. As a modern practitioner of Chinese medicine, we should keep clear that integrative medicine regulating blood lipids metabolism does not mean a simple combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. We should treat it guided by systematic theories. We combine disease identification and syndrome differentiation, guide lipids lowering by integrative medicine including selecting Western drugs for blood lipids lowering, Chinese medical prescriptions for syndrome typing, and effective Chinese herbs based on modern pharmacologies.

To investigate the clinical effect of tonifying the kidney and promoting blood circulation to promote oocyte decoction in the treatment of anovulatory infertility caused by polycystic ovary syndrome. Sixty cases were selected from the out-patient department of Xiyuan hospital of China academy of Chinese medical sciences and the Chinese academy of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine out-patient department. Sixty patients with PCOS patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group, with 30 cases and 30 cases respectively. The treatment group was given decoction of the reinforcing kidney, activating blood circulation and ovarian stimulation compound recipe. The control group was treated with clomiphene. Through the treatment of 1-2 courses, in the treatment group the pregnancy rate was 56.67%, the ovulation rate 61%; in control group of clomiphene citrate ovulation ratepregnancy rate was 30% , 72.84% of ovulation rate. The difference was significant between two groups (P < 0.05), the pregnancy rate in the treatment group was higher than the control group. The treatment group has regulatory effect on FSH, LH and their ratio, and increase E2 level, decrease T, PRL, INS and other hormone levels, contributing to the mature development of the follicles and endometrium growth, increase the ovulation rate and pregnancy rate. The control group on FSH, E2 increased, LH, T, PRL and INS showed no obvious effect.

Primovist is a newly developed hepatocytespecific agent that is transported into the hepatocyte through organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) and excre ted into bile through canalicular multiorganic anion trans porters.Primovist uptake is usually reduced in HCC cells that present hypointensity on the hepatobiliary phase,there fore this agent may help differentiate HCC from other neoplasms and improve histological grading.This article will further explore the use of Primovist in liver cirrhosis and small hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of tamsulosin on proliferation and apoptosis in prostatic cancer PC-3 cells. METHODS:After treated with 0 (blank control group),12.5,25 and 50 μmol/L tamsulosin (tamsulosin low,medium and high-concentration groups)for 48 h,the viability of PC-3 cells was detected by MTT method. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to detect cell apoptosis rate. Western blot was used to determine the expression level of Bax and Bcl-2 protein,and the phosphoryla-tion level of protein kinase B(Akt),mammalian target rapamycin(mTOR),ribosomal S6 protein kinase(p70S6K)and 4E bind-ing protein 1(4E-BP1). RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,PC-3 cells viability and the phosphorylation level of Akt, p70S6K and 4E-BP1 decreased in tamsulosin low,medium and high-concentration groups,while expression level of Bax protein in-creased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the apoptosis rate of PC-3 cells was increased in tamsulosin medium and high-concentration groups,while the expression level of Bcl-2 and phosphorylation level of mTOR were decreased(P<0.01),in concentration-depen-dent manner. CONCLUSIONS:Tamsulosin can inhibit PC-3 cells proliferation and induce cell apoptosis via blocking Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the impaction of different prostate biopsy strategies on the tumor detection.Methods 214 consecutive men who were highly suspected as prostate cancer were included in this study.TRUS guided prostate biopsy of 13 cores was conducted in each patient.Among these individuals,PSA(total prostate specific antigen) level were among 0.8 ng/ml and 112.3 ng/ml,mean 18.7 ng/ml,of which 203 cases were over 4.0 ng/ml.The prostate volume was between 12.3 ml and 182.5 ml with 61.3 ml of mean.DRE(digital rectal examination) was normal in 173 cases and abnormal in 41 cases.The tumor detection rate for each biopsy core was calculated.The sensitivity of different combinations of biopsy cores(eg.prostate biopsy strategies) was compared with a 13 core biopsy protocol,in which besides the sextant biopsies,the far lateral and mid regions of the gland were also taken,as 8 core and 10 core biopsy.Results Prostate cancers were detected in 77 of 214(36.0%) patients with 13 core biopsy protocol.Of the possible combinations of biopsy cores,10-core biopsy protocol that included cores at the base,mid gland and apex of the prostate with lateral base and mid cores detected 97.4% of cancers.The detection rate of this 10-core biopsy protocol was equivalent to that of the 13 core regional biopsy(P=0.5).Conclusions 10-core biopsy protocol that combines cores at the base,mid gland and apex of the prostate with lateral base and mid cores should be the preferred strategy in early detection of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the manifestations and genetic mechanisms of male sex reversal syndrome. Methods A 22 year old male patient with 46,XX karyotype was systemically examined and a Y specific sequence tagged site (STS),sY14,was chosen to detect sex determining region of Y (SRY) gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results This patient shows primary and secondary male sex characters while gonads are hypoplastic and malfunctional.The patent has 46,XX karyotype and SRY gene.Therefore,the patient is diagnosed as 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome. Conclusions Translocation of SRY can bring about 46,XX male sex reversal syndrome,whereas gonads of the patients are hypoplastic and malfunctional because of the absence of other genes on Y chromosome.SRY gene plays an important role in sex determination.
