1.Sex hormone replacement in Turner syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;(6):562-566
The cardinal features of Turner syndrome(TS) are short stature,congenital abnormalities,gonadal dysgenesis.The sex hormone insufficiency lead to infertility and lack of proper development of secondary sex characteristics,it also involves in the frequent osteoporosis and increased cardiovascular risk,state of physical fitness,insulin resistance,body composition,and may play a role in the increased incidence of autoimmunity.Recent researches emphasize the TS patients need for proper sex hormone replacement therapy to improve their quality of life.This review summarizes the effects of estrogen and androgen insufficiency as well as the effects of sex hormone replacement therapy on the whole body of Turner syndrome.
2.Discussion of time and space differentiation of three-yin and three-yang in Shanghan Lun
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2005;3(4):257-9
The concept of "three-yin and three-yang" in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases), a classic written by Zhang Zhongjing in Han Dynasty, has been always the focus of dispute in successive dynasties. The essence of "three-yin and three-yang" has not been fully revealed up till now. Through studying the six divisions of day and night, the six diseases, the combination of syndromes, the complicated diseases, the complete recovery time and the space division of "three-yin and three-yang", the authors draw a conclusion that the "three-yin and three-yang" in Shanghan Lun is a concept of time-sequence, which is associated with the location of disease in space. So it is suggested that the "six diseases" in Shanghan Lun is a categorization for exogenous febrile diseases, and this categorization reveals a sort of inner relationship between the emergence, development, transformation of the febrile diseases and the time.
3.Protective roles and mechanisms of limb ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning in cerebral ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2014;22(3):200-203
Remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning are two new ways to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury.Studies in recent years have shown that it also has significant protective effect for cerebral ischemia.At the appropriate time to give appropriate strength of remote ischemic preconditioning or postconditioning may induce brain ischemic tolerance and thus produce neuroprotection.The procedures of limb ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning are simple,and the clinical application value is higher.This article reviews the protective effect of limb ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning on cerebral ischemia.

Objective To establish a method for determining the contents of chrysophanol, emodin and sodium Danshensu in Shen An Kang Capsules(SAKC). Methods Chrysophanol and emodin contents were determined on Lichrospher100 C18 column (4.6 mm? 250 mm, 5 ? m) with the mobile phase of Methanol- 0.1 % Perchloric acid (85 ∶ 15) at a flow rate of 1 mL? min-1, and the detection wavelength was 254 nm. Sodium Danshensu content was determined on Kromasil column C18( 4.6 mm? 250 mm, 5 ? m) with the mobile phase of actonenitirile - 1.2 % Glacial acetic acid(8 ∶ 92)at a flow rate of 0.5 mL? min-1, detection wavelength being 280 nm. Results The linearity of emodin was obtained in the range of 0.020 16~ 0.100 80 ? g(r=0.999 6), linearity of chrysophanol obtained in the range of 0.034 56~ 0.172 80 ? g(r=0.999 9)and linearity of sodium Danshensu obtained in the range of 0.144 8~ 0.868 8 ? g(r=0.999 6).The average recovery was 97.70 % with RSD 2.38 % for emodin, 97.69 % with RSD 1.92 % for chrysophanol and 97.52 % with RSD 0.77 % for sodium Danshensu. Conclusion The method is accurate, reproducible , and is helpful for the quality control of Shen An Kang Capsules.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of ropivacaine administered intrathecally on the pulmonary function after caesarean section.MethodsThirty-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ parturients,aged 22-34 yr,with body mass index ≤35 kg/m2,undergoing elective cesarean section,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=18 each):bupivacaine group (group B) and ropivacaine group (group R).Spinal anesthesia was performed at L3,4 interspace and 0.5% bupivacaine 1.8 ml (in cerebrospinal fluid 3 ml) and 1.0% ropivacaine 1.4 ml (in cerebrospinal fluid 3 ml) were injected into the subarachnoid space over 10 s in groups B and R respectively.Forced vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume first second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured by spirometry before surgery (T0),and at 1,1.5 and 2 h after intrathecal injection (T1-3).The motor block score was recorded at T1-3.It is regarded as the criteria for respiratory dysfunction that the measured values of FVC and FEV1 are lower than their 80 % and 70 % predicted levels respectively.ResultsFVC and FEV1 were significantly decreased at T1 compared with the baseline value at T0 in both groups (P<0.05).Compared with that at T1,PEF was significantly increased at T2,3 in group R (P <0.05).Compared with group B,PEF at T1 and motor block score atT3 were significantly decreased in group R (P<0.05).The respiratory dysfunction was not found in both groups.ConclusionSpinal anesthesia with ropivacaine and bupivacaine can inhibit the parameter level of carly pulmonary function afrer caesarean section in parturient without respiratory complications,but the pulmonary function still remains normal.

Objective To explore whether the presence of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula (JPDD) risks biliary stone disease and recurrence.Methods 829 patients undergoing ERCP in our hospital from Aug 2008 to Dec 2012 were divided into four groups:biliary stone disease (n =609) non-stone biliary abnormality (n =124) common bile duct malformation with cholelithiasis (n =38) and normal control group (n =58).There were 206 patients with JPDD and 623 patients without JPDD.Biliary stoneformation,post-ERCP pancreatitis,cannulation failure,and stone recurrence were compared between those with JPDD and those without.Results The incidence of JPDD in biliary stone disease group (27.8%) was significantly higher than in non-stone biliary anatomical abnormality group (18.5 %) (x2 =4.512,P < 0.05).In biliary stone disease group,rates of post-ERCP pancreatitis were significantly higher in JPDD cases (33.7%) compared to those without JPDD (13.8%) (x2 =30.841,P < 0.05).The cannulation failure rate was also higher in patients with JPDD (15.4%) compared to JPDD negative (6.8%) (x2 =0.731,P <0.05).Recurrence rates in biliary stone disease were significantly higher in patients with JPDD (19.5%) when compared to JPDD-lacking individuals (9.3%) (x2 =14.51,P < 0.05).Conclusions JPDD is a risk factor for biliary stone formation.JPDD also is associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis,cannulation failure and biliary stone recurrence.

Objective To investigate the therapy and influencing factors for prognosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs).Methods 169 patients with VAP who were admitted to a hospital between January 2012 and December 2013 were included in analysis, 125 were in MDRO infection group and 44 in non-MDRO infection group.MDRO infection group was subdivided into MDR-A group(n=78, resistant to selected antimicrobial agents) and MDR-B group (n=47, sensitive to at least one kind of selected antimicrobial agent).Antimicrobial choice and prognosis between each group were analyzed and compared.Results 242 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from airway secretion of VAP patients, 173(71.49%) were MDROs.The major pathogens causing VAP were Klebsiella spp.(n=66), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(n=64), Acinetobacter spp.(n=60), Staphylococcus aureus(n=27), and Escherichia coli (n=17), the percentages of MDROs of above pathogens were 68.18%, 50.00%, 91.67%, 88.89%, and 76.47% respectively.The prognosis of MDRO infection group was poorer than that of non-MDRO infection group, MDR-A group had the worst prognosis(P<0.001).Persistent fever, leukocytosis, and progress of pulmonary inflammation in VAP patients suggested poor prognosis(all P<0.001);antimicrobial use in patients with effective therapy was higher than those in a worsened condition before onset, at the beginning of onset, and after culture of specimens(all P<0.001), while coma, early-onset VAP and multiple bacterial infection had no prognostic significance in patients with VAP(all P>0.05).Conclusion There is high incidence of MDRO infection in patients with VAP, effective antimicrobial therapy can improve the prognosis.
