Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of RFA combined with chemotherapy drug on hepatic VX: carcinoma in rabbits and to explore its mechanism.Methods: 40 rabbit models with VX: carcinoma were used for this study.they were divided into four groups at random.We watched the changes in serolog ALT,diameter of tumor and pathomorphology.And we also utilized terminal deoxynucleotidyl ransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling and immunohistochemistry to observe the apoptosis and proliferation.Results: ⑴The blood ALT significantly increased at the first day after treatment,then descended at the third day,and at the seventh day it descended to the level of pretreatment stage in group RFA combined with epirubicin.(2) The diameter of tumor showed significant difference between combined treatment and other groups.(3) Two weeks after treatment,the complete necrotic area slightly extended.it was clearly seen that the zone consisted of normal liver constitution,inflammation hyperemia zone and amorphous necrotic constitution by HE staining in combined treatment group.(4) The apoptosis index of the combined treatment group was bigger than that in other groups by TUNEL technology,but the PCNA index in the combined treatment group was lower than other groups.They all had significant difference.There was negative correlation between apoptosis index and PCNA index in the combined treatment group(r=-0.745,P

A portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment containing sensor module, acquisition board and embedded module was developed for home care in this paper. The sensor module consists of one ECG module and three pulse wave extraction modules, synchronously acquiring human ECG and pulse wave signal of carotid, radial, and dorsal, respectively. The acquisition board converts the sensor module's analog output signals into digital signals and transmits them to the embedded module. The embedded module realizes the functions including signal display, storage and the calculation and output of pulse wave velocity. The structure of the proposed portable instrument is simple, easy to use, and easy to expand. Small size, low cost, and low power consumption are also the advantages of this device. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment has high accuracy, good repeatability and can assess the degree of atherosclerosis appropriately.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and the significance of anti-NMDAR antibody assay in clinical diagnosis.Methods Sixty-two patients were divided into 3 groups of encephalitis,encephalopathy and other central nervous system diseases based on their affliction. Anti-NMDAR antibody was detected by transfected cell-based indirect immunofluorescence assay in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The clinical features,laboratory tests,treatment and prognosis of NMDAR encephalitis were analyzed.ResultsAnti-NMDAR antibody was positive in serum and (or) cerebrospinal fluid of 9 patients (9/32,28％ ) from encephalitis group.The positive rate of anti-NMDAR antibody in cerebrospinal fluid was higher than that in serum of these patients.Among them,5 patients with higher antibody titer had impaired blood-brain barrier.No tumor was detected in these 9 patients.The most predominant symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis include fever,psychiatric disturbances,seizures,dystonia and autonomic dysfunction.Brain MRI and electroencephalography were also abnormal. Patients were responsive to early immunotherapy. Conclusion Detection of the anti-NMDAR antibody may be important for early diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis.

The administration status of enteric coated aspirin in 348 diabetic patients aged over 40 from Xujiahui Subdistrict of Shanghai was surveyed. One hundred and two out 348 patients ( 29. 3% ) used aspirin regularly, among them only 36 cases used the correct dosage (75 - 162 mg/d), accounting for 10. 3% (36/348) of all patients surveyed. The results indicate that aspirin was not used properly in diabetic patients to prevent the heart and cerebrovascular diseases,and it is necessary for medical providers to promote health education for diabetic patients.

Objective To summarize and analyse the clinical data of death cases in the department of emergency internal medicine. Methods The clinical data of patients presenting at the department of emergency internal medicine from January 2005 to July 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 13 211 patients of department of emergency internal medicine, 145 died. More cases died in winter( 32.0% , 39/122 ).More than half of deaths occurred within 6 hours after admission( 54.5% ,79/145 ). The top six death causes were sudden death, pulmonary infection, cerebrovascular accident, advanced cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding,cardiovascular diseases and the occurrence rates were 18. 6%, 13.8%, 13.8%, 10.3%, 9. 7% and 9.0%respectively. Conclusion The first three death causes in department of emergency internal medicine were sudden death, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary infection. Prevention of these diseases, cooperation between emergency department and other departments and special training on standardized treatment of critically ill patients should be enhanced.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of chlorpromazine(TMZ)in treatment of chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods 70 patients with CHF were randomly divided into control group and treatment group 35 cases in each gronp,control group was given conventional treatment,treatment group on the basis of additional application TMZ,20mg/times,3 times/d.8 weeks after the observation and comparison of two groups of cardiac function in improving the situation.Results Treatment group before the treatment of LVEF(38.0 ± 2.4)％ After treatment,LVEF(48.0 ±2.3)％ ;control group before treatment LVEF(38.2 ±2.2)％ after treatment,LVEF(42.0 t2.5)％ ;Twosets of treatment LVEFdifference statistically significant(t =6.9419,2.8482,allP ＜ 0.05); Treatment group compared with control groups after treatment improve even more obvious(t =4.3147,P ＜0.05)o Control groups and then hospitalized 10 cases(28.5％),the treatment group hospitalization 3 cases(8.5％),both groups rate difference statistically significant(x2 =4.629,P ＜0.05).Both groups were no deaths,no serious adverse effects.Conclusion General against heart failure therapy on the basis of the combined with TMZ could significantly improve the cardiac function of patients with chronic heart failure,reducing hospitalization rates.

Chemotherapeutic drugs conventionally used for their cytotoxic activity can also exert their influence on the immune system by grooming the tumor microenvironment,abrogating immune tolerance and inciting immune reconstitution.Due to their immunomodulatory features,chemotherapeutics,used as a preconditioning regimen and combined with subsequent immunotherapy,can mobilize the immune system to generate antitumor immune response.The synergy between chemotherapy and immunotherapy has brought some enlightenment to the development of new protocols for cancer treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To offer support for optimizing marketing strategy and increasing consumption in drug retailing.METHODS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database was established,the data mining method was subjected to a correlation analysis using association rules with the daily sales data in a retail drugstore in Jiangsu as an example.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The data mining of drug retailing consists of 4 items: construction of drug sales data mart,data pretreatment,data mining,and analysis of mining results.The application of the data mining in retail drugstore can help analyze the purchase tendency of customers,find out potential customers and increase sales volume.
