Diabetic nephropathy was one of the diseases with high incidence and difficult to treat in modern society. Modern medicine had focused on the prevention and treatment of this difficult disease to delay its development. ProfessorZhao Zongjiang, who had been working on the treatment of kidney diseases with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine for many years, had deep understanding on integrative medicine treatment of chronic kidney diseases (CKD), diabetic nephropathy treatment with unique TCM principles, methods, prescriptions and herbs, with rich clinical experiences, rational medication and significant therapeutic effects. Under the guidance of professorZhao Zongjiang, this article started with consumptive kidney disease in combination with a large amount of professorZhao Zongjiang’s research results, for the discussion of professor Zhao Zongjiang’s academic thoughts and clinical experiences in disease treatment to provide references in this field.

Purpose: To observe the efficacy of combined chemotherapy of navelbine( NVB) and cisplatin ( DDP) plus concurrent palliative local radiotherapy in the treatment of stage M, nasopharngeal carcinoma( NPC). Methods: 21 cases of stage M, NPC received combined chemotherapy of NVB 25 mg/m2 on dl, d8 and DDP 30 mg/m2 on day 1-3. The therapy was repeated every 28 days. All patients were concurrenly treated with palliative radiotherapy for to the distant metastases areas. The radiotherapy dose varied from 15 to 60 Gy. Results: 1.The 1-, 2- and 3- year survival rates of the patients were 71.43%, 14.29% and 9.25% respectively. The median survival time ( MST) was 17 months. 2.The Cox Regression analysis showed that the effect of treatment and the liver invasion are significant prognostic factors. The survival rate is the highest in the patients with lung metastases. Conclusions: This scheme combined chemotherapy of NVB and DDP plus concurrent palliative local radiotherapy can improve the MST of the patients with stage M1 of NPC.

Objective To find out easily-processed and longly-preservated nerve allograft transplantation which has not only no-obvious antigenicity,but the integral structure of intermal nerve membrane.Mehtods Acquire the nerve allografts under sterile condition,submerge them into 50 ,70 and 85 percent of glycerol for 3 hours respectively at 37 Centigrade degree,then put them into the containers which contain 85 percent of glycerol. After sealed and preservated at 5 Centigrade degree for 6 weeks,the processed nerves can be used for transplantation.Results 14 nerve allografts processed with glycerol were transplanted in 10 patients with nerve defects varying from 2.5 to 18 cm. After follow-up for 5 to 42 months,the effects were proved to be satisfactory.Conclusion It is obviously effective to transplant nerve allograft processed with glycerol and preservated for 6 weeks for bridging the defects of peripherall nerve through a series of clinical observations.

Objective To study the effect of astrocyte-derived factors on the differentiation of neural stem cells from neonatal rats. Methods Neural stem cells from neonatal rats were isolated, cultured and expanded by neurosphere formation. Astrocytes were isolated and purified by a standard shaking method and the differential adhesion technique. With immunocytochemical labeling, the purity of astrocytes was determined by the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP). Astrocytes and neural stem cells were co-cultured without contact. Immunofluorescence examination was used to detect the effects of astrocyte-derived factors on the expression of neuron specific enolase (NSE), GFAP, and tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) of the differentiated cells. Results The purified astrocytes were 98% of GFAP positive. Co-culturing the neurospheres with astrocytes promoted more neural stem cells rapidly differentiationinto NSE positive cells( P

Objective To investigate the current demand of expectations of family members of children in transfusion room. Methods By means of a self-designed questionnaire, the survey researched the demands of family members of children from 5 dimensions,the waiting time, transfusion environment, the quality of nursing,humanistic care and health education, and drug and safekeeping of security.The total 401 valid data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, chi square test, single factor variance analysis. Results No significant difference was found on their perception for the waiting time (χ2=1.051, P>0.05) and appropriate waiting time ( χ2=0.883, P>0.05). But there were significant differences between medical guarantee types and environmental needs (F=2.972, P<0.05 ), as well as between monthly income and the humanistic care and health education demand(F=2.566, P<0.05). Conclusion The expectation of respondents are diverse, changeable, showing high consistency for basic expectation,differences between different groups, discontinuity in different phase.

BACKGROUND: Studies in recent years have suggested the involvement of chemoattractant cytokines in the recruitment of peripheral blood cells to the injured spinal tissue. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) belongs to the CC-type chemokines and is capable of specific chemotactic attraction of the macrophages.OBJECTIVE: To observe MCP-1 expression in the serum of patients with acute spinal cord injury and explore the possible mechanism of secondary spinal cord injury.DESIGN: A non-randomized and controlled concurrent pilot study.SETTING and PARTICIPANTS: Eight patients with acute incomplete spinal cord injury and 8 with compression fracture of the spine were treated in the Department of Orthopaedics, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University during the period from January 2001 to December 2002. Another 8 healthy subjects were included as the controls.METHODS: In the next morning after hospitalization, totally(8-10) mL of fasting peripheral venous blood was collected from the patients and the serum separated for determination of MCP-1 level with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) . Serum MCP-1 level was also measured in the healthy subjects in the same manner.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum level of MCP-1 in each group.RESULTS: Serum levels of MCP-1 in the healthy subjects, patients with compression fracture of the spine and those with acute incomplete spinal cord injury were(124 ± 15), (184 ±21) and(428 ± 11) ng/L, respectively, with significant differences between any two groups( P ＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: MCP-1 may induce secondary inflammation by recruiting inflamnatory cells to the injury site and thus aggravate the spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protection effect of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods Forty patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into two groups:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine hydrochlo-ride was given at a loading dose of 0. 5 μg?kg-1 to patients in group D, and then infused continuously at a rate of 0.5 μg?kg-1?h-1.The same amount of saline was given to patients in group C. After loading dosing,general anesthesia was per-formed with TCI technique.Trans-esophagus Doppler monitoring was conducted to monitor the blood volume and heart function, and close monitoring of fluid infusion to maintain stable circulation.Invasive blood pressure and heart rate were recorded every 5 min. Blood samples were taken for detection of cTnI,CK-MB,TNF-αand IL-6 contents at the following time points:after induction ( t0 ) ,before operation ( t1 ) ,after operation ( t2 ) ,12 h postoperation ( t3 ) and 24 h postoperation ( t4 ) . Results The blood pressure and heart rate decreased significantly at t0 and t1 in group D compared with group C,and there were no significant differ-ences in the two indexes at other time points between the two groups.Blood CK-MB,cTnI and inflammation factors TNF-α,IL-6 were much higher at t2,t3,t4 than at t0 and t1 in both groups(P<0.05).They were significantly decreased at t2,t3,t4 in group D relative to group C (P<0.05).Vessel active medicines were less given after the operation in group D (P<0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride can mitigate the inflammation responses caused by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting,re-duce the myocardial injury and improve the cardiac function of the patients.

Objective To explore the feasibility and value of preservation of left colonic artery (LCA) in dealing with inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 72 cases of laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal carcinoma from April 2010 to October 2013 were retrospectively analyzed including 32 cases with preservation of LCA (observation group) and 40 cases without preservation of LCA (control group).The blood loss,operative time,postoperative exhaust time,terminal ileum stoma,the number of lymph nodes removed around the root of IMA,the rate of lymph node metastasis around the root of IMA and prognosis were compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the blood loss,operative time,postoperative exhaust time,terminal ileum stoma,the number of lymph nodes removed around the root of IMA,the rate of lymph node metastasis around the root of IMA between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).No case in observation group needed to free the splenic flexure of colon and to make the terminal ileum stoma,while 3 cases in control group needed to free splenic flexure of colon because of blood supply disorder in the proximal intestine (P =0.046),and 4 cases underwent terminal ileum stoma following anastomosis (P =0.042).No anastomotic leakage occurred in observation group,while 2 cases of anastomotic leakage occurred in control group(P =0.090).After followed up for 6-48 months,no significant difference was found in local recurrence and liver metastasis in two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic anterior resection of rectal carcinoma with preservation of LCA in dealing with IMA can effectively retain the blood supply of proximal intestine.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) by CT-guided precise injection around nerve root and in epidural cavity. Methods One hundred and eight patients of LIDH were treated by CT-guided precise injection around nerve root and in epidural cavity, and followed-up after 1, 3 and 6 months. Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain was used to evaluate the efficacy before and after treatment. Results In 108 cases, there were 83 patients (76.9%) with good result whose improvement of VAS was greater than or equal 50% after treatment 1, 3 and 6 months. There were 19 patients (17.6%) with fair result whose improvement of VAS was less than 50% after treatment 1, 3 and 6 months. There were 6 patients (5.6%) with invalid result whose improvement of VAS was unobvious after treatment 1, 3 and 6 months. Conclusion CT-guided therapy of LIDH by precise injection around nerve root and in epidural cavity is safe, accurate, effective, minimally aggressive technique and worth being practiced clinically.

Objective To investigate the causes and managements of capsular perforation in transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Clinical data of 893 cases who received TURP from February 2002 to February 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Results In 893 cases, capsular perforation in 16 cases, among them, tissue covered perforation in 10 cases, dissociative perforation in 3 cases, perforation under bladder trignne in 3 cases. Six cases occurred with obviously extravasation, 10 cases with transurethral resection syndrome (TURS) or omen of TURS. Two cases were ceased operation and received TURP again after 2 weeks, 2 cases transferred to open surgery suprapubic prostatectomy, 12 cases kept up operation with lower bladder douche pressure. Two cases with postoperatire bleeding underwent open surgery hemostasis cured. All cases were discharged from hospital after recovery. Conclusions The type and extent of capsule perforation must be judged correctly,corresponding treatment must be given, prevention and treatment of TURS must be taken notice of, if capsule perforation occurs when TURP operation in progress. Less haematoma, clearview and normal anatomic structures can decrease the incidence of perforation.
