OBJECTIVE　To establish a quality standard for Liyan granule.METHODS　Honeysukle flower in the granule was identified by TLC.The developing agent was the upper solvent of butyl acetate formil acid-water(7∶2.5∶2.5).The dual wavelength spectrophotometry was applied for the determination of chlorogenic acid in granule.And the acute toxicity test was accomplished.RESULT　The TLC for the identification of Honeysule flower in the granule was accurate.The uv for chlorogenic acid was reliable.The linear range of chlorogenic acid was 0.46～46.00 μg*mL-1(r=0.9992),and the recovery was 97.33%,RSD=1.49%.The acute toxicity test showed that the maximal tolerable dose in rats was equivalent to 850 times of the clinical dosage in human.CONCLUSION　This method could be used as the quality control during the production of Liyan granule.

Objective To investigate the effects of lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on the inflammatory response to focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) inmy in rats.Methods Fifty-six healthy male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 3 groups:group Ⅰ sham operation(group S,n=8);group Ⅱ cerebral I/R(n=24)and group Ⅲ lipoxin A4+I/R(group LXA4,n=24).Right mid-cerebral artery was occluded for 2 h by inserting cranially a nylon thread with rounded tip into internal carotid artery.LXA4 0.03 nmol/5 μl was injected into cerebral ventricle at 5 min after cerebral ischemia.Neurological deficit was scored at 24 h of reperfusion.Then four animals in each group were killed and their brains were removed for microscopic examination and expression of MPO at 24 h of reperfusion.Meantime,content of IL-1β,TNF-α,TGF-β1,and IL-10 in the brain tissue were measured at 1,6,12,24 and 48 h of reperfusion by ELISA.Glial cell activity was examined at 24 h of reperfusion by immuno-histochemistry.Results Intra-cerebroventricular administrated LXA4 0.03 nmol/5 μl provided mild neuroprotection against focal cerebral I/R injury,improved neurological deficits,and reduced morphological brain damages and PMN infiltration.LXA4 also decreased the content of TNF-α and IL-1β,and increased the content of IL-10 and TGF-β1.The numbers of activated astroglia and microglia were decreased in group LXA4 compared with group I/R.Conclusion LXA4 protects the brain against I/R injury by inhibiting inflammatory response.

Objective To evaluate the pattern of lateral cervical metastases and to investigate the risk factors for lateral cervical lymph node metastases in paoiuary thyroid carcinoma patients with clinical negative lateral neck lymph node.Methods 73 patients with paoiuary thyroid carcinoma who underwent prophylactic lateral neck dissections(level Ⅱ-Ⅵ or level Ⅱ-ⅣandⅥ) were reviewed retrospectively on their medical records paoiuary thyroid carcinoma.None of patients in this study had a clinically positive lymph node.Neck dissection specimens were obtained for histological analysis for node metastasis with respect to the individual neck levels.Results Occult metastases in lateral neck were observed in 12(16.4 ％)patients.9.6 ％,0,13.6 ％,9.6 ％,0,4.8 ％ and 42.4 ％ patients had histologically positive lymph nodes in levels Ⅱa,Ⅱb,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Va,Vband Ⅵ respectively.In multivariate analysis,lymphatic metastases in level Ⅵ was associated with lateral neck metastasis(OR=7.3,P=0.020)in cN0 patients with paoiuary thyroid carcinoma.Conclusion Levels Ⅲ,Ⅱa and Ⅳwere the most common stages showing occult lymph node metastases.Prophylactic lateral neck dissections may be omitted in the treatment of cN0 PTC patients ff level Ⅵ lymphatic metastases are not found on histological exam.

ObjectiveTo research the endothelial dysfunction and early changes in arterial elasticity in patients with hyperlipidemia and effects of atorvastatin on these changes.Methods40 patients with hyperlipidemia but without any treatment in our hospital were selected as a study group,and 30 healthy people were selected as control group.Use the Flow mediated dilation,FMD detection which bases on the echo-trackingtechnology,eTRACYING to evaluate the right brachial atherosclerosis parameters and vascular diastolic parameters,including the pressure strain elastic modulus(Ep) ;stiffness index (β) ;compliance (AC) ;FMDs and FMDd.The study group take atorvastatin 20mg per day,then retested above parameters and TC,LDL-C after 12 weeks and analyzed all parameters.ResultsThe values of β and Ep in study group are significantly higher than the control group (all P ＜ 0.001 ),but AC;FMDs and FMDd are significantly lower than the control group( all P ＜ 0.001 ).The results of the study group after the treatment of atorvastatin are as follwing:TC,LDL-C,β and Ep are lower than before,AC,FMDs and FMDd are higher than before;and the differences are of significance in statistics ( all P ＜ 0.001 ).ConclusionHyperlipidemic patients had shown the vascular endothelial injury and vascular early hardening before the abnormal changes in intimal,but the atorvastatin intervention could reverse these changes.

Objective To compare the treatment outcome of underwent surgery plus radiotherapy and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma,to investigate an optimized treatment for the patients of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma.Methods Clinical data from 103 patients with stage Ⅲ (39 cases) or stage Ⅳ (64 cases) laryngeal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into surgery plus radiotherapy group (S±R,46 cases) and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery group (R±S,57 cases).Overall survival,relapse free survival,and laryngeal preservation rate were used to compare the treatment outcome between two groups.Multivariate regression models were used to analyze the independent factors for survival and laryngeal preservation rate.Results Survival rate was higher in S±R group than in R±S group [2 year overall survival/relapse free survival 74.7 ％ (34/46) / 72.4 ％ (33/46) vs 46.4 ％ (26/57) / 40.9 ％ (23/57),P ＜ 0.05].Laryngeal preservation rate was higher in R±S group than in S±R group [93.0 ％ (15/46) vs 32.6 ％ (53/57),P ＜ 0.05].Multivariate analysis demonstrated that treatment modality and T stage were independent factors for long-term survival,while treatment modality was the only an independent factor for laryngeal preservation rate.Conclusions Surgery plus radiotherapy result in better survival and lower laryngeal preservation rate than radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus salvage surgery in treatment of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ laryngeal carcinoma.Surgery plus radiotherapy should be the first choice for treatment of locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma.Improvement of the quality of life could be achieved by laryngeal preservation surgery and phonation reconstruction procedures.

Objective To evaluate if Ⅵ region lymph nodes metastasis status can be a reliable indicator in prediction of lateral lymph nodes metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with negative cervical lymph nodes (cN0).Methods Retrospectively reviewed the medical records from January 2003 to October 2011 of 73 patients with PTC who underwent prophylactic lateral neck dissection (Ⅱ-Ⅴ region or Ⅱ-Ⅳ region).The relationship between cervical lymph nodes metastasis and lateral lymph nodes metastasis was assessed.Results The rate of lateral lymph nodes metastasis was 16.4％(12/73).The rate of Ⅵ region lymph nodes metastasis was 42.5％(31/73).Multivariate analysis showed that Ⅵ region lymph nodes metastasis was the risk factor of lateral lymph nodes metastasis in cN0 patients with PTC(OR =7.3,P=0.020).Conclusion Ⅵ region lymph nodes metastasis status can be a reliable indicator of lateral lymph nodes metastasis in cN0 patients with PTC.

Objective To study the values of neck dissection for thyroid carcinoma who received nonstandard operation and help to choose good re-operation methods. Methods Retrospective investigation was carried out in 38 cases of neck dissection for thyroid carcinoma patients who received nonstandard operation during 1997 to 2005, and 32 cases were treated with neck dissection. Results Pathological results confirmed there were 73.68 % with residual tumor, positive rate of thyroid was 47.38 %, and that cervical lymph node was 57.89 %. Conclusion The residual rate of cervical lymph nodes of reoperated patients with thyroid carcinoma was relatively higher, so neck dissection for thyroid carcinoma who received nonstandard operation was necessary.
