Objective To study the histopathologieal features,growth pattern and distribution on the uterine cervix of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN).Methods Cone biopsy and hysterectomy specimens of 592 women with hish.grade CIN(CIN Ⅱ or Ⅲ)were reviewed morphologically.Of all cases.the gross appearance of the external os was recorded,and the frequency of eervical quadrants involved in hish-grade CIN was assessed.Two hundred specimens were selected randomly to observe micrographieal changes,including the extent,depth,growth pattern and cell types of hish-grade CIN and the alteration of stroma surrounding CIN.Results Of 592 specimens,external os showed smoothness in 46 cases(7.8%),mild erosion in 151 cases(25.5%),moderate or severe erosion in 395 cases(66.7%),hypertrophy in 48 cases(8.1%),and neoplasm in 4 cases(0.7%).Higll-grade CIN involvement was equally frequent on each quadrant of cervix(P>0.05).Of 200 cases of hish-grade CIN reviewed micrographically,the depth of the deepest involred crypt was le88 than 3 mm in 188 specimens (94.O%).between 3 to 5 nnn in 12 specimens(6.O%),and more than 5 mm in none.High-grade CIN with isolated endocervieal crypt involvement was detected in 77 cases(38.5%),multiple crypt involvement in 143 cases(71.5%).and confluent crypt involvement in 73 cases(36.5%).Hish-grade CIN showed explanate in 81.0%(162/200)of cases,endophytie in 49.0%(98/200)of cages,and exophytic in 6.5%(13/200)of cases.Abrupt transition between CIN and normal epithelia were found in 167 specimens (83.5%),whereas gradual transition in 66 specimens(33.0%).A variety of cell types,but basaloid type predominantly.were observed in hiSh-grade CIN.In 28.5%-45.0%of ca8es,the stroma surroundin CIN displayed oedema,desmoplastic and lymphocytic responses.Conclusions Our data suggest that gross examination is of little importance for diagnoses of CIN.CIN trend to spread horizontally and Mong the endocervical crypts,and are mainly distributed to a depth less than 3 nLrn.These data also suggest that there are a variety of cell types of CIN,and stroma responses to CIN may exist in part of high-grade CIN.

Objective　To study the effect of the combined use of aminoguanidine (AG) and cyclosporine A (CsA) on acute rejection following cardiac allograft. Methods　Except the control group, all other three groups were respectively treated by AG 600mg/kg every day subcutaneously 0 to 7 days after transplantation, low-dose CsA 2mg/kg every day i.m 0 to 7 days after transplantation, and low-dose CsA plus AG. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production during acute allograft rejection were detected at 4th day after operation, and the graft survival was observed.Results　Compared with the control group, iNOS expression and NO production were significantly inhibited in the AG-treated group (P＜0.05)，the progression of acute rejection was slightly attenuated and allografted heart survival prolonged. The inhibitory effects of iNOS activity and NO production in the recipients receiving the combined treatment of low-dose CsA plus AG were higher than those receiving low-dose CsA alone. Compared with the low-dose CsA group, low-dose CsA plus AG could significantly reduce the histologic grade of acute rejection (P＜0.01) and prolong the graft survival (P＜0.05). Conclusion　The combined use of low-dose CsA and AG could synergistically suppress iNOS activity and NO production, and significantly prolong allografted heart survival.

Malignant obstructive jaundice is biliary obstruction caused by malignant tumors.When a patient presents to a doctor,he/she is usually too late to be operated,so endoscopic treatment has gradually replaced surgery in its management.Diagnostic endoscopic methods include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS),and per oral cholangioscopy (POCS),etc.Biliary stent placement at ERCP is the mainstay of endoscopic palliation for jaundice.Other methods include EUS-guided bilioenteric drainage (EGBD),endoscopic radiofrequency ablation,intraluminal brachytherapy of bile duct,endoscopic photodynamic therapy,etc.Magnetic Compression Anastomosis Technique (MCAT) is a new technology which has been developed recently,and its role in the management of malignant obstructive jaundice remains to be seen.Science and technology have brought along progress in endoscopic and consumable technologies.It is predicted that in the future,endoscopic diagnosis and treatment will have more applications.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)is a common disease among premature neonates and the management of which has always been a challenge to the neonatologists. Early treatment has been advocated as the first-line approach, and drug induced closure is yet the most effective, inexpensive, and convenient method. During the last two decades,indomethacin was often given as conservative treatment, and its closure rate in PDA was approximately 46% ～ 89%. However,indomethacin may increase the number of undesirable or harmful effects including renal damage, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and enterobrosis,etc. Recently,ibuprofen is rapidly emerging as a new promising drug for treatment of PDA in preterm infants with closure rate of 73.0% ～95.5%. It is used as standard therapy to close PDA,and it has less influence on the hemodynamics of kidneys, brain and gastrointestinal tract. The surgery is needed in patients with drug treatment failure and cardio-pulmonary function damage.

Micronutrients are closely associated with the progression of diabetes and its complications. Diabetic patients are susceptible to micronutrient deficiency. In this article, we summarize the preventive and therapeutic effects of micronutrients including zinc, selenium, magnesium, and chromium on diabetes mellitus.

0.05). The microhardness values of three test groups were higher than those of three control groups(P 0.05 ).Conclusion:Lanthanum chloride solution at 0.1 g/L has the same remineralization effect to 0.5 and 2.0 g/L in deciduous teeth with artificial enamel caries.

Objective:To compare effects of APF and APF-La(NO3)3 on enamel surface layer and to probe the mechanism of combined application of APF-La(NO3)3 on deciduous molars. Methods:9 caries-free second lower molars were selected and divided randomly into two groups: APF group (n=4) and APF-La(NO3)3 group (n=5). All teeth were cut into two parts, paralleled to axis of the teeth, along the line connecting mesial buccal and lingual cusps. Mesial parts were experimental group and distal parts were control group. Spot analysis of EPMA was performed to measure concentration of F or/and La in enamel surface layers, and compare changes of concentration of F in enamel surface layers treated with APF solution and changes of concentration of F and La treated with APF-La(NO3)3 solution. Results: ①Concentrations of F in enamel surface layers increased in APF experimental group. ②Concentrations of F and La increased in deciduous teeth enamel surface layers of APF-La(NO3)3 experimental group. ③ Increment of F in cusp of deciduous molar is the same as that of pit in APF experimental group. ④ Increment of F and La in cusp of deciduous molar was the same as that of pit in APF-La(NO3)3 experimental group. Conclusion:Compared with APF, treatment by APF-La(NO3)3 can increase the concentrations of both La and F in enamel surface layer while there is no difference of increment between cusp and pit in each group. The result can provide useful data for prevention of caries in children.

Objective To investigate alexithymia , personality characteristic and mental condition in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Fifty-one patients with essential hypertension were assessed using Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ), Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) and the symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90). The results were compared with those of Chinese ordinary model. Results The E score of EPQ of the patients with essential hypertension was lower than that of the Chinese ordinary model, while the N, P and L scores was higher. The total score and the scores of all factors of SCL-90 were significantly higher than that of Chinese ordinary model. The total score of TAS-20 and score of factor 1, factor 2 were positively correlated with the scores of all factors of SCL-90, while factor 3 score had no significant correlation with SCL-90. The E score of EPQ was negatively correlated with the scores of all factors of SCL-90, while N and P score were positively correlated with them. Conclusion Patients with essential hypertension were inner personality, unstable psychological status and neuroticism showing alexithymia and obvious psychological symptoms.
