Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between the improved ligation method and the traditional ligation method in the treatment of internal hemorrhoid. Methods Double blind and randomized study were made in 86 patients with internal hemorrhoid. The traditional method was performed by ligation of internal hemorrhoidal body, and the improved method was to ligate rectal mucous membrane above internal hemorrhoidal radicles. Results The improved method has better effect than the traditional method. The clinical symptoms of internal hemorrhoid such as bleeding,pain,constipation,edema,itching and erosion in the patients treated by the improved method were significantly improved compared with the patients treated by the traditional method(P

Objective To study the effects of formaldehyde on activities of enzymes in testes of male mice. Methods Male Kunming mice were used. Experimental groups had been exposed to formaldehyde with different doses by i.p. once per day for 7 consecutive days. The formaldehyde doses were 0.2, 2.0 and 20.0 mg/kg body weight. The mice were killed after 7 days of treatment and their testes were fetched out to be made into even slurry and the activities of LDH, G-6-PD and SDH in them were tested. Results The activities of G-6-PD and SDH were decreased with the increasing of doses of formaldehyde. Compared with the control group, the activities of SDH in each exposed group had significantly decreased (P

The General Rules of the Civil Law of the People′s Republic of China(hereinafter the General Rules)shall officially come into effect as of July 1 of 2017.In this consideration,the paper probed into the legal attributes of the doctor-patient relationship in China in view of the relationship management in line with the General Rules.Also analyzed are the basic principles to be observed by both parties as regulated by the General Rules and patient rights protection.These efforts aim at elevating China′s medical service,protecting legitimate rights of both parties,and encourage a healthy and harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To evaluate urgent selective arterial embolization to treat massive postpartum hemorrhage. Methods Twenty seven patients with ages of 21～53 years undengoing severe postpartunm hemorrhage, were due to centrol placenta previa, uterine atony, birth canal trauma, placenta accretio, cervical pregnancy etc. All of the patients had lost a volume of blood about 1 000ml to 5 000ml while the hemorrhage could not be controlled with vaginal packing and administration of uterotonic drugs. Urgent hemostatic embolization was performed for them. After angiography, super selective catheterization was performed for bilateal anterior division of internal iliac branch of uterine arteries and embolized with Gelfoam particles. Results Catheterization success rate was 96.3%. Angiography showed ectopic uterine artery in one case. Immediate block of hemorrhage took place in 22 cases and gradual hemostasis appeared in 4 cases, the efficacy rate was 96.3%. The one with ectopic uterine artery was operated upon to ablate the uterus. 11 patients with (bleeding) shock and 8 patients with DIC were all saved. Conclusions Urgent arterial embolization is an ideal method for treating life threatening postpartum hemorrhage. The procedure saves the maternal uterus and is also effective for postpartum DIC.

Objective To study the relationship between serum adiponectin and insulin resistance in wo men with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods Forty women with PCOS and twenty five healthy women were divided into PCOS obese group [body weight index(BMI)≥25kg/m 2], PCOS non-obese group(BMI

The authors analyzed current situation of teachers'professional development in medical colleges and universities. The construction of teachers'professional development systems includes dividing the stage of development and setting the standard,constructing teachers'evaluation model,constructing interscholastic and scholastic teachers'education pattern,enriching the training contents and diversifying the training ways.

Objective Fluctuation of glucose levels is more likely to cause oxidative stress which contributes to the development of insulin resistance through activating c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).Such antio xidants as vitamin C or vitamin E do not appear very helpful.Radix Astragali (RA) is an herbal medicine with antioxidative ability.The study was to explore whether RA would lower the risk of insulin resistance in diabetic rats.Methods Diabetic rats received RA,insulin or both RA and insulin after diabetes were induced in male Wistar rats.Serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα),advanced glycation endproducts(AGEs) levels in kidney,the expression of insulin receptor (IR),insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK),p-p38 MAPK,p-JNK,p-IRS-1 Ser307,and p-IRS-1 Tyr612 in skeletal muscles were determined.Results Compared to diabetic rats treated with insulin,the diabetic rats treated with both insulin and RA demonstrated significantly lower levels of IL-6,TNF-α and AGEs (P ＜ 0.05),significantly lower activation of p-p38 MAPK and JNK (P ＜0.05),significantly higher expressions of IRS-1 (P ＜0.05),p-IRS-1 Tyr612,and significantly lower expression of p-IRS-1 Ser307 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions RA can lower the risk of insulin resistance through fighting oxidative stress in diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVETo provide reference data on frequency and distribution of bone islands (BIs) and investigate their relationship with age, gender, and localization.

METHODSA population who received a pretreatment and at least one follow-up panoramic radiograph in the Department of Oral Radiology, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, were selected for this retrospective study. A sample population of 29,556 patients (12,824 males and 16,732 females) with different dental complaints and ages ranging from 8 to 80 years (mean age: 23.95 years) were included.

RESULTSIn the radiographic evaluation, BIs appeared as localized, well-defined, non-expansile, radiopaque masses which were round, elliptic, or irregular in shape. Their sizes varied from a few millimeters to about 2 cm in diameter. A total of 598 radiopacities were detected, and 545 patients of 29,556 patients (1.84%) had BIs. Among subjects with multiple lesions, 49 patients had 2 BIs and 2 patients had 3 BIs. The BIs had immense mandibular predilection, with presentation primarily in the premolar/molar region. The condition appeared to have no tendencies based on sex.

CONCLUSIONRecognition of BIs variation is significant in dental examinations.

Objective To study the role of VEGF in the development of portal hypertensive gastropathy(PHG). Methods Forty-four portal hepertensive patients were investigated according to with or without PHG. The degree and the location of PHG were recorded. The specimens were obtained to perform RT-PCR to measure VEGF mRNA. Results VEGF mRNA in severe (3.48?1.02) or moderate PHG (2.28?0.33) with portal hypertension was higher than that in control (1.40?0.23) and those (1.51?0.32) with portal hypertension without PHG( P

Objective:To establish a UVB damage cell model with HaCaT cells to investigate the protective effects of Zinc sulfate on the cell damage caused by UVB and its relevant mechanisms .Methods: The cells were divided into normal group , Zinc group,UVB group,Znic and UVB group.The addition of Zinc sulfate to the HaCaT cells was conducted 24h prior to the irradiation to the cells by UVB.Cell apoptosis was detected by Western blot and the expression of metallothionein and NF -κB/p65 were measured by im-munohistochemistry.Results:Compared with normal and Zn+UVB group, Bax/Bcl-2 rate in UVB group increased.Compared with normal group ,MT expression levels in UVB group ,Zn group increased ,and compared with UVB group ,MT expression level in Zn+UVB group increased .Compared with normal group and Zn+UVB group,NF-κB/p65 expression level in UVB group increased .Conclusion:Zinc sulfate alleviates the apoptosis of HaCaT cell induced by UVB because of the expression of MT .
