OBJECTIVE:To study the liver damage mechanism in mice caused by the incompatibility of Daphne genkwa com-bined with Glycyrrhiza uralensis in aspect of liver transporter. METHODS:40 mice were equally randomized into a normal control (isometric normal saline)group,a group of G. uralensis [15 g(medicinal matierias)/kg],a group of D. genkwa [15 g(medicinal tatierias)/kg],a group of D. genkwa with G. uralensis in the ratio of 1∶1 [15 g(crude drug)/kg],a group of D. genkwa with G. uralensis in the ratio of 1∶3 [15 g(medicinal matierias)/kg](n=8). The mice were given the corresponding drug,ig,once a day for 7 consecutive days. HE staining was performed and then the pathomorphology of liver tissues were observed under the light mi-croscope,and calculation was made for pathological grading. Western blot method was employed to determine the protein expre-ssion of the transporter Ntcp protein in the livers of mice. The contents of total bile acids(TBA)in livers of mice were determined. RESULTS:Compared to the mice in the normal control group,those in the group of 1∶1 and 1∶3 demonstrated higher protein ex-pression of Ntcp. In the group of 1∶1,the mice with grade“+++”hepatocyte degeneration were more (8). The mice with grade“+++”and“++”hepatocyte degeneration in the groups of 1∶3 were more (2 and 8 respectively). CONCLUSIONS:D. genkwa combined with G. uralensis can induce liver damage in mice by a mechanism which may be related to the accumulation of a large amount of TBA in the liver as a result of the increase in the expression of Ntcp in mice.

The Medline and CNKI databases were searched with the key words of radiation-induced myocardial damage,damage pathway,pathogenesis,and intervention,and 37 articles were obtained.The pathogenesis of radiation-induced myocardial damage may be related to various mechanisms such as oxidative stress,transforming growth factor-β,renin-angiotensin system,mast cells,and endothelial dysfunction.The pathogenesis of radiation-induced myocardial damage is a complex process involving various mechanisms,and currently,there are ongoing studies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis and interventions.

Purpose: To report 2 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma occurring in a thyroglossal duct remnant, and to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic methods by reviewing the literature. Methods: An asymptomatic midline mass occurring in the upper neck was the sole presenting complaint in 2 cases. The preoperative evaluation included a complete head and neck examination, B-ultra sound examination and FNAB. The Sistrunk procedure was done. A lobectomy( case 1) and a lumpectomy ( case 2) were performed respectively, because of the abnormality found in their thyroid gland. A modified neck dissection was performed in case 2 because of regional lymphadenopathy. The following histologic studies were carried out on tissues with HE stain. Results: Diagnoses of thyroglossal duct carcinoma were made by several pathologists. Tissues from thyroid were first diagnosed as nodular goiter in case 1 and thyroid adenoma in case 2. In case 2, one positive lymph node and invasion to the hyoid bone was found. Conclusions: Malignant lesions are rare in the thyroglossal duct remnant. The diagnostic criteria is acknowledged. Resection of the thyroglossal duct carcinoma by the Sistrunk procedure is an adequate surgical approach. But the controversy about further treatment will continue because of the lack of large series of patients and the 10 to 20 year follow-up.

The constant iv. of aconitine can induce the varied arrhythmias in mice. Taurine 100mg/kg iv. or Quinidine 5 mg/kg iv. can delays the onset time of arrhythmias, and increases the dose of aconitine, respectively .But no effects were seen in mice pretreated with taurine 50mg/kg or quinidine 2.5mg/kg. However their combination can significantly decrease the incident of ventricular fibrillation and delay the onset time of death. Our results suggested that taurine, quinidine and their combination are effective on arrhythmias induced by aconitine in mice.

Objective To provide technical support and scientific basis for establishing the evaluation index system for rural area in Chongqing city .Methods We formulated first draft of evaluation index system and then used the Delphi method to analyse this draft based on expert evaluation .Evaluation index system were established after second operation .Results “Familiarity ,security , effectiveness ,economy ,simplification ,the number of cases ,equipment and suitability for popularization and application”were finally taken as indexes of evaluation index system .Conclusion Useing Delphi expert consultation method ,we could establish a reasonable evaluation index system of Chongqing city .

This paper reports the nursing care of 12 patients with idiopathic scoliosis treated with halo-pelvic traction preoperatively which focused on breathing training, traction frame management. One patient suffered from temporary brachial plexus injury and four cases suffered from superior mesenteric artery syndrome. With 14-21 day's traction and nursing care, the correction rate of Cobb angle was 35%-50%,the forced vital capacity was improved by 25%,and all the patients received orthomorphia surgery in time. It is suggested that the patients with severe idiopathic scoliosis treated by halo-pelvic traction could take out-of-bed activity freely. It could not only relieve pain and reduce mental pressure, but also improve the safety of orthomorphia surgery.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy in treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Seventy-six advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into observation group(38 cases)and control group(38 cases)by radom digits table.The patients in observation group were treated with gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.The patients in control group were treated with fluorouracil combined with cisplatin concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.The clinical effect and adverse reaction were compared between two groups.Results The total effective rate in observation group was 84.2％(32/38),which significantly higher than that in control group[60.5％(23/38)](P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in 1 year overall survival rate between two groups[89.5％ (34/38)vs.76.3％(29/38)](P ＞ 0.05).The rate of gastrointestinal reactions and oral ulcers in observation group were 42.1％(16/38)and 7.9％(3/38),which significantly lower than those in control group[73.7％ (28/38),31.6％(12/38)](P ＜ 0.05).The rate of bone marrow suppression between two groups had no significant difference[31.6％(12/38)vs.23.7％(9/38)](P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy in treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma can enhance the clinical effect,and decrease the adverse reaction,which can be applied in clinic.

[Objective] In order to optimize the best condition for the water extraction process of Polysaccharides from Pleurotus ostreatus.[Methods]The single factor experiments were conducted,in which,the effects of radio of liquor to solid,irradiation time,temperature were studied separately.The orthogonal experiments were conducted to find out the appropriate operating conditions.[Results] The appropriate operating conditions are as follows:the radio of liquor to solid is 1:35.The irradiation time is 3h.and the temperature is 90oC.Under these conditions the average yield of Polysaccharides is 2.84%.[Conclusion]It is an ideal means for extracting Polysaccharides from Pleurotus ostreatus,with short time,less cost and sensitivity.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic angiomyolipoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 8 cases of hepatic angiomyolipoma in terms of clinical findings,image,pathologic examination and surgical treatment.Results Correct preoperative disgnosis was made in only 1 case, 4 were misdiagnosed as malignancy. All 8 cases underwent hepatectomy with an uneventful recovery and without recurrence at follow up.Conclusions Hepatic angiomyolipoma is characteristic of clinical as well as image features, although it is often difficult to make correct diagnosis before operation owing to low incidence and variable imaging appearances.
