AIM To develop a simple reasonable and provable model of hypophysis shut off in rats with dexamethasone. METHODS Dexamethasone 6 mg?kg -1 was injected subcutaneously into two groups of rats at 3:00~3:30 pm on the preceding day. This dose was repeated at 9:00~9:30 am next day. The control group was treated with saline in the same way. One hour later, one of the dexamethasone treated groups was ig with Z47 200 mg?kg -1 , the other dexamethasone treated group and the control group was ig with 0 5% CMC. Then all the groups were ip with 0 086 mol?L -1 HAc in order to generate stress reaction. The reduction of the content of Vit C in adrenal gland was taken as the index of secretion of ACTH. RESULTS The content of Vit C in NS CMC HAc was obviously lower than in Dex CMC HAc group. There were statistically significant differences ( P

Objective:To investigate the effects of enteral nutrition support in inoperable advanced gastric cancer patients during chemotherapy.Methods:This was a prospective randomized study.A total of 62 patients with advanced gastric cancer were firsted evaluated according to the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scale,and were randomly divided into two groups.All patients received oxaliplatin combined with tegefur gimeracil oteraci.Patients in the control group (n =30) received chemotherapy along with nutrition consultation,and patients in the treatment group (n =32) were provided enteral nutrition-additionally.NRS 2002 assessment was conducted before and after chemotherapy,The body weight,BMI,serum albumin,and the efficacy and toxicity were collected during the study.Results:Patients in the treatment group had significantly higher serum albumin levels,body weight and BMI than those of the control group (P < 0.05).No differences were found as for the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy between two groups.Conclusion:Enteral nutrition support therapy can improve the nutrition status of gastric cancer patients who received chemotherapy and reduce the risk of malnutrition.

To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus from 2013 to 2016 in Xiaoshan,China,we collected the epidemiological data of human A(H7N9) cases as well as the results of environmental monitoring and analyzed it by case study,descriptive epidemiological method,and statistical analysis.Results showed that a total of 22 cases were confirmed,including 12 deaths.All the cases occurred in winter and spring,and most of them had been exposed to live poultry,and with the underlying condition of chronic diseases.Chi-square test showed that the ratio of cases with chronic diseases in death group was higher (P=0.01).The environmental monitoring result showed there were distinctive seasonal differences of positive rate with peaks in winter and spring and nadirs in autumn and summer.Positive rates for the samples from external environmental monitoring were consistent with the distribution of the case onset.Due to rise of environmental monitoring positive rate,we should be alert to the occurrence of new cases,especially in rural areas where live poultry fairs still exist and among people with occupational exposure.We should further improve ability to prevent and control this disease.

Objective To investigate the application of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 320-row CT in diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease(CCHD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 68 patients with CCHD,which contained the echocardiographic apprarance,320-row CT and surgical outcoming.All of malformations were divided into three groups:intracardiac group,heart-large vascular connecting group and extracardiac group.Results One hundred and eighty-four malformations were comfirmed by surgery in the 68 cases.The misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rate of CT and TTE:for the intracardiac anomalies were 12% (11/93),1% (1/93) respectively (P < 0.05),for the heart-large vascular connecting malformation were 4% (2/49),6% (3/49) respectively (P > 0.05),and for the extracardiac anomalies were 2%(1/42),19%(8/42) respectively (P <0.05),for the total anomalies were 8%(14/184),7% (12/184) respectively (P >0.05).While it was 1% (2/184) in diagnosis of total anomalies by both CT and TTE.Conclusions Both 320-row CT and TTE have their own advantages and shortcomings in the diagnosis of CCHD.Joint application of two methods could reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of CCHD.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise in treating lumbar disk herniation. Methods: A multi-center, randomized controlled trial was adopted. Three hundred cases of lumbar disk herniations were divided into two groups, an observation group in which 149 cases were treated by electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise, and a control group in which 151 cases were treated by electroacupuncture alone. The clinical efficacy and long-term relapse rate were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: Among 149 cases in the observation group, 80 cases were cured, 57 cases improved, 12 cases failed and 4 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 53.7%, the total effective rate was 91.9% and the relapse rate was 5.0%. Among 151 cases in the control group, 74 cases were cured, 51 cases improved, 26 cases failed and 12 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 49.0%, the total effective rate was 82.8% and the relapse rate was 16.2%. There were significant differences in the cure rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise had better effects than electroacupuncture in treating lumbar disk herniation.

Objective To explore the probable mechanism of tinnitus and the accompanied symptoms us-ing RS-FMRI. Methods We recruited 10 adults with chronic tinnitus and 10 health adults for fMRI in the resting state. Then we compared the differences of regional homogeneity(REHO)maps and functional connectivity to the whole-brain maps with the auditory cortex as a region of interest between the two groups. Results The REHO maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in the automated anatomical labeling brain map including the middle frontal_gyrus (right),superior frontal_gyrus (left),entorhinal cortex_(right),middle occipital_gyrus (right),middle occipital gyrus(bilateral),lingual gyrus(left)and cuneate lobe(left). The functional connectivity maps of tinnitus group showed significant differences in lingal_gyrus(left)of AAL brain regions. The p threshold value was<0.001 in all results. Conclusion Tinnitus may cause abnormal neural activity in several non-auditory brain regions,which may be the neurophysiological mechanism of tinnitus accompanied symptoms.

Objective To investigate the application of prenatal ultrasonograpy in diagnosis of fetal heart disease during the medium-term and terminal pregnancy,and to avoid misdiagnosis.Methods The prenatal ultrasonographic screening was conducted in 7020 pregnant women with medium-term and terminal pregnancy.All confirmed and suspicious cases of fetal heart disease were observed by echocardiography once 4 weeks until postnatal sixth month to 1 year while normal cases was traced at the intervals of 8 weeks.All the cases were confirmed by autopsy or surgery while part of them were confirmed by postnatal angiocardiography before surgery.The reasons of misdiagnosis were analyzed.Results In fifty-three cases of fetal cardiovascular abnormality,43 cases were found,2 cases were misdiagnosis while 8 cases were missed diagnosis.2 cases of misdiagnosis included 1 case of pulmonary valve stenosis and 1 case of tetralogy of Fallot.8 cases of miss diagnosis included 2 cases of inferior vena cava in ectopic drainage and 6 cases of ventricular septal defect (defect diameter < 5 mm).The accuracy rate of diagnosis of fetal heart disease was 81.1 % by echocardiography.Conclusions Using high frequency probe,image zoom,enhancing the detection of vein-atrium connection and the structure of right ventricular outflow with pulmonary artery are important factors to avoid missed diagnosis and incomplete diagnosis.
