Am investigation was done to identify the best and safe dosage of magnesium isoglycurrhizinate in treating hepatitis B.All 1 50 cases suffering from hepatitis B were randomly divided into five groups as A,B,C,D,E.Cases in group A were treated with magnesium isoglycurrhizinate in 100 mg per day for two weeks sololy,and in group B,C,D,E in 150 mg,200 mg,250 mg and 300 mg respectively.The changes of symptoms,index of hepatic function,clinical effective rates and side-effects were observed from treatment beginning to the end.The results that revealed there were no different effects among groups B to E,but less therapeutic effects in group A,and no obvious side-effects in all groups,suggesting that 150 mg dosage of magnesium isoglycurrhizinate should be a safe and the best dosage for treating hepatitis B.

The interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical skin test were compared with the simple cervical hypersensitivity test routinely used in our country in herds infected with Mycobacterium bovis, in which 167 infected cattle from 5 herds were tested with interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical test (CCT) simultaneously and other 106 cattle were tested with other hypersensitivity tests used as control for comparison. In these 167 cattle tested with both tests, 89 cattle were proved to be positive both in interferon-γ testing and CCT using the bovine PPD of Netherland with a coincidence rate of 92.7% (89/96). In 106 cattle the coincidence rate of positive reactions detected by γ-interferon test and CCT was 93.41% (78/83.5), that detected by the routine skin of foreign country was 62.26%(66/106); and that between the hypersensitivity test of China and foreign country was 92.19% (59/64). It is obvious that the interferon-γ testing and CCT seem to have higher coincidence rate and the specificity of the skin tests used in our country was rather low. Consequently, the use of the comparative cervical skin test should be considered to replace the routinely used shin tests.

Objective To approach the effect of health education pathway in rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods 240 CP children were divided into the trial group (120 cases) daily practiced by duty nurse according to health education pathway table and evaluated in time, and control group (120 cases) guided by routine Methods . Then, the two groups were compared in the rate of achieving standard and the variation in the course of health education.Results The attendants in the trial group knew more about CP, and their acceptance of prognosis, quality of living, rehabilitation effect and health education effect were better than the other group, the variation decreased significantly in the trial group.Conclusion The procedure and standard of health education can decrease the occurrence of hospital infection, increase the confidence of the attendants, and put the staff and patients in harmony.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the effect of limited head and neck squamous cell carcinomas human papillomavirus(HPV) infection status on the prognosis in different nationalities of Xinjiang.
METHODSThe clinical data of 149 cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma from Uighur, Han and Kazak was analyzed. The HPV16/18 infection and viral load was examined.The prognosis was analyzed by cox multiIvar-Iate model. The effect of HPV infection status on prognosis was evaluated.
RESULTSIn this study, Oropharyngeal HPV infection rate was 35.0%, followed by hypopharynx 30.0%, oropharyx was 16.0%. The overall survival rate of 3 years and 5 years was 66.4%, and 39.2% respectively. The clinical stage,N stage and HPV were influencing factors for the prognosis of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (P< 0.05). N stage and HPV were independent prognostic factors for the prognosis of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (P< 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThere is a high rate of HPV infection in oropharynx in head and neck cancer. HPV positive is a protective factor for the prognosis of head and neck cancer, and the risk of death in patients with HPV was 3/5 lower than that of HPV negative patients. HPV viral load may be positively related to the total survival rate. N stage is a risk factor for the prognosis of head and neck cancer. Different nationalities have little influence on prognosis.
