Objective To study the value of emergency angiography and interventional therapy in digestive tract hemorrhage. Methods 123 cases was performed with repeated angiography after perfusing vasodilator substance in those patients without bleeding signs in the first angiography. According to with or without bleeding during angiography, these cases were divided into group A (the patients is bleeding during angiography) and group B (the patients' stool bleeding examined were negative before angiography) for analysis. The patients with bleeding demonstrated angiographically had accepted the arterial embolization and/or infusion of vasoconstrictor substance later on. Results 90.8% patients of group A was found bleeding and 47.22% patients of group B was found bleeding on angiography. Bleeding was stopped immediately in all those patients with arterial embolization and 82.7% of those patients with vasoconstrictor substance infusion. Conclusions The detective rate of bleeding in active stage is greater than that of in resting stage on emergency angiography of patients with digestive tract hemorrhage ( P

RESULTS: 12 marker peaks were separated. The methodological evaluation showed that the method had a good repeatability, and the marker peak area ratio of different samples were different. CONCLUSION: This method is simple and accurate with good reproducibility and can be used for a quality control for Crocus sativus L.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the significance of transnasal endoscopic optic decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy. METHODS Four patients with blindness from traumatic optic neuropathy were treated with transnasal endoscopic optic decompression. RESULTS Two patients improved in visual acuity to CF/50 cm and light perception. Two patients didn’t improve after surgery. CONCLUSION Transnasal endoscopic optic decompression is significant in the management of traumatic optic neuropathy due its effectiveness and minimal invasiveness. It’s implications can be enlarged under some circumstances.

Objective To understand the sanitary quality of the blood dialysate in hospitals in Hu'nan and its influential factors. Methods Pyrogen,total count of bacteria,22 physical and chemical indexes including calcium,chloride,fluoride,zinc,sodium and other indexes in the blood dialysate samples collected from blood dialysis rooms in 99 hospitals distributed among 14 cities and states in Hu'nan were measured according to the Sanitary Standards of Drinking Water and the Sanitary Standards for Disinfection Technology. The data of analysis were evaluated based on the standards for the blood dialysate ruled by ASAIO and AAMI. The questionnaire on the status operation and maintenance of the water purification system for blood dialysate was performed simultaneously. Results The sanitary quality of the blood dialysate samples from 31 hospitals were completely accorded with the related standards with a qualified rate of 32%. The qualified rates were 44.4%,71.7%,90.9%,97.0%,99.0%,99.0%,99.0% for pyrogen,total count of bacteria,calcium,chloride,fluoride,zinc,sodium in the blood dialysate samples respectively. The blood dialysate from the water treatment system established and put into production during 2000-2003 showed higher qualified rate(45.1%)compared with that during 1995-1999(16.7%),?2=9.293,P

Objective To study the MR diffusion tensor imaging(MR-DTI) feature of optic atrophy.Methods Diffusion tensor imaging data of optic nerve were acquired in twenty patients with optic atrophy and 20 healthy subjects.Results ①Atrophic optic nerves were thin obviously on MRI,and the signal of atrophic optic nerves decreased markedly on fractional anisotropy(FA) map and directionally encoded color(DEC) map.②The FA value(0.277?0.078) and ?∥ value(1.808?0.307) of atrophic optic nerves were declined obviously,and mean diffusivity(MD) value(1.442?0.264) and ?⊥ value(1.231?0.225) increased obviously in comparison to the normal optic nerves,there were statistically significant differences between the patients and the volunteers(P

0.05).The median time to progression (mTTP) was 7.8 months in HCPTOX group and 7.9 months in FOLFOX4 group, respectively. The median survival time (MST) was 13.1 months in HCPTOX group and 13.3 months in FOLFOX4 group, respectively. The toxicities were well tolerated.The incidence of grade Ⅲ+Ⅳ nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in HCPTOX group than in FOLFOX4 group (?2=4.538,P0.05). Conclusion:Both of the two regimens were feasible, well tolerated and effective in treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.HCPTOX regimen might be safer than FOLFOX4 regimen,especially in elderly patients or patients with ECOG PS of 1 to 2.

This study examined the effect of astilbin on the proliferation of rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) induced by angiotensin II (AngII) and explored the possible mechanisms. Cell proliferation model of RASMCs was induced by treatmente with AngII. Cells were randomly divided to 8 groups. Normally cultured VSMCs serves as blank control group; in AngII model group, cells were treated with AngII at 10(-7) mol/L; in three astilbin groups, cells were treated with 10, 15, 30 mg/L of astilbin; in three AngII+astilbin groups, cells were treated with AngII (at 10(-7) mol/L) and astilbin at 10, 15, 30 mg/L. Cell proliferation ability was detected by MTT method and the cell cycles and proliferation index were flow cytometrically determined. The expression of c-myc mRNA was assessed by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the expression of NF-κB in RASMCs was immunocytochemically observed. Our results showed that MTT metabolism in RASMCs in the basic and AngII stimulated situation was inhibited by astilbin, and the cells numbers of G(0)/G(1) phase were increased and that of G(2)/S phase were decreased markedly. Not only highly expression of c-myc gene stimulated by AngII could be inhibited by Astilbin significantly, but also the expression of NF-κB protein can be down regulated by Astilbin. We are led to conclude that astilbin astilbin can inhibit the AngII-mediated proliferation of RASMCs by blocking the transition of RASMCs from G(0)/G(1) phase to S phase and by down-regulating the expression of NF-κB, c-myc gene.

Objective To observe the effects of in vitro isolated Schwann cells co-cultured with chemically acellular nerve allografts on improving repair of large facial nerve defects. Methods A total of 30 Wistar rats were equally randomized into three groups, ie, experimental group, allograft group and autograft group. Nerve defect of 12 mm in length was made in the left inferior buccal branch of facial nerve and repaired with acellular nerve allograft implanted with Schwann cells, acellular nerve allograft and fresh tibial nerve autograft respectively. At the 5th month postoperatively, the function and morpholo-gy of the regenerated nerves were observed by electrophysiological method, methylene blue staining and transmission electron microscope. Results In experimental group, the recovery rate (operation side/normal side) of amplitude of nerve-muscle action potential was (35.8±2.5)%, the lantency recovery rate (normal side/operation side) (65.8±2.9)%, the number of the regenerated axon 1 570±188 and the myelin thickness (0.383±0.031) μm. The results in the experimental group were significantly supe-rior to those in the acellular nerve allograft group (P < 0.05), with similar results to fresh nerve autograft group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Transplantation of Schwarm cells in acellular nerve allograft can im-prove repair of large facial nerve defects.
