Objective To evaluate the effect of different health education methods on inhospital pa-tients in sports medicine department and establish the most appropriate health education method. Meth-ods Sixty patients in the sports medicine department of a certain class-3 and grade-1 hospital were inves-tigated by questionnaires in the 10 aspects (such as the acceptability,comprehension,practicablity,vividness,instruction,etc) of 7 different health education methods.The quantitative score of O to 10 grade was adopted.Results The scores of 7 different health education methods were statistically different.The highest score was DVD which was followed by special explanation.The difference of the seven different health education methods was demonstrated in the following aspects such as mutual communication,vividness and memory holding.While the difference in practicability and instruction was not statistically different. Conclusions The health education methods were various and each had its characteristic,so they should be combined.The more satisfying health education effect will be obtained by carrying out health education with DVD as the major style complemented with special explanation,group explanation and multimedia teaching style.

Objective　To investigate the abnormal distribution of lymphocytes in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and its significance. Methods　In 43 cases, biopsies of ectopic tissues were taken by laparoscopy and laparotomy from patients with endometriosis and eutopic endometrium by curettage at the same time. In 19 cases, eutopic endometrium was taken from hysterectomy for myomatous uterus. Immunohistochemical techniques were employed to demonstrate the difference in the number and ratio of the lymphocyte subsets between the patients with endometriosis and the controls. Results　In the patients with endometriosis, in the proliferative phase, ectopic endometrium contained respectively CD+3、CD+8T cells and CD+68 macrophages (67.2±13.5)/5HP, (45.0±14.0)/5 HP and (37.2±10.6)/5 HP, significanly higher then that in the eutopic endometriun (52.4±11.3)/5HP (P<0.01), (32.5±10.0)/5HP (P<0.05)， and (30.7±10.3)/5HP， and also higher as compared with the control group (52.1±14.9)/5HP (P<0.05)， (28.9±12.7)/5HP (P<0.01), (26.3±9.3)/5HP (P<0.05); in the secretory phade, CD+8/CD+4, and CD+68 content was respectively 3.5±1.2，(40.3±12.2)/5HP, higher than that in the control group, 3.2±0.8 (P<0.05), (28.6±10.6)/5HP (P<0.01). The number of macrophages was also significantly increased. No cyclic changes in the number of lymphocytes in each subpopulation in ectopic endometrium were found. Conclusions　In the patients with endometriosis, the changes in T lymphocytes and macrophages are mainly on the endometriotic sites. The infiltration of many lymphocytes and macrophages into the ectopic endometrium formed a chronic inflammatory process. The lymphocytes are not able to clear the ectopic endometrium in the late stages of endometrium，on the contrary, they stimulate the further growth of the endometrium.

Objective To compare the protective effect of colloidal bismuth subcitrate-1 (CBS-1, Lizudele), or colloidal bismuth subcitrate-2 (CBS-2, De-Nol) and sucralfate against gastric mucosal lesion and to investigate their mechanisms. Methods Gastric mucosal injury of rats was induced by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid. Gastric ulcer was then induced by 50% acetic acid applied to the gastric tunica serosa. We observed the protective effects against gastric mucosal lesion and measured the injury index and the area of ulcer in each group. Statistical t test was used to compare the difference of each group. Results (1)CBS-1, CBS-2, and sucralfate had protective effect against lesions caused by ethanol, stress, aspirin and hydrochloric acid and could promote acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer healing. (2) The mechanisms of protective effect and ulcer healing promotion were that these drugs could increase gastric blood flow and increase activities of QR, GST and GR, and could also promote overexpression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA. Conclusion Gastric mucosal protective drugs, CBS and sucralfate had effect of resisting injury and promoting ulcer healing. The mechanisms were that they could increase gastric mucosal blood flow and the expression of bFGF mRNA and iNOS mRNA, and reduce oxygen free radical.

Objective To compare their antipyretic effect of diclofenac suppository (diclofenac) and injectio amidopyrini compositae (amidopyrin) in the treatment for surgical infection with high fever. Methods One hundred patients suffering from surgical infection with high fever were randomly divided into two groups: 50 cases in diclofenac group (50 mg with rectal administration) and 50 cases in amidopyrin group (2 ml, with intramuscular injection) , and their antipyretic effects were observed. Results The antipyretic effect of diclofenac (with an overall effective rate of 96% ) was better than that of amidopyrin (82% ), with a P-value less than 0.05, and their remarkably effective rates were 82% and 58% for the two groups, respectively, with a P-value less than P

Objective:To observe the effects of zinc supplementation on the function of brain after sleep deprivation(SD).Methods:Rats SD model was made by the “Flower Pot" technique.Three days later,the rats received Y-labyrinth test to test the function of learning and memory.NADPH-d histochemistry and ABC immunohistochemistry were applied to exam the activity of NOS and the levels of protein expression of nNOS in hippocampus of rats.Results:Compared with the normal group,Learning times of rats in Y-labyrinth test of the SD group increased(89.3?25.3 /67.1?29.3,t=1.81,P0.05).Compared with the SD group,in TZC supplementation group,the levels of NOS in sub-area of hippocampus(CA_1:27.2?2.8;CA_3:15.3?1.6;DG:21.8?1.9,P0.05).Conclusions:TZC supplementation can improve learning and memory function of rats,and the mechanisms might be related to increased level of NOS and the protein expression of nNOS in hippocampus of animals.

Objective To explore the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro. Methods The NSCs cultures were generated from the brain of embryonic day 16 SD rat. Primitive NSCs were cultured, proliferated and passaged. The NSCs were identified by the immunocytochemical (ICC) staining of Nestin. The ICC staining of BrdU was adopted to characterize the proliferation of NSCs. According to limited dilution method, the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on the proliferation of NSCs was observed. Results The NSCs were successfully cultured and proliferated in vitro. Different dosages (100, 4, 8 ?mol/L) of ginsenoside Rg1 could promote the proliferation of NSCs in vitro. Compared with the control group, the numbers of nerurospheres of the three dosage ginsenoside Rg1 groups (40, 4, 0.4 ?mol/L) were increased obviously. Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg1 significantly promote the proliferation of NSCs in vitro.

Objective To study the value of laparoscopic operation in the management of ectopic pregnancy. Methods The management of 509 cases of ectopic pregnancy reviewed retrospectively in our hospital from January 1999 to December 2001.Selected 60 cases treated by laparoscopy in 2001 were compared with 58 cases treated by laparotomy without hypovolemia shock.Operating time, postoperative hospital stay, time returning to normal temperature,total cost were compared. Results Laparoscopic surgery was performed in three cases in 1999,twenty three cases in 2000 and sixty cases in 2001. Comparison between laparoscopic and laparotomy group showed the operating time (66.3?25.3) min vs (75.9?22.0)min( t =-2.02, P =0.03);postoperative hospital stay (3.3?1.9)days vs (5.1?1.7)days( t =-5.42, P =0.00); total cost (7318.4?1440.1) RMB vs (5567.8?1567.8) RMB ( t =6.32, P =0.00). Conclutions Laparoscopic surgery is superior to laparotomy in the management of ectopic pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate effects of pulmonary surfactant (PS) containing ketamine on respiratory failure induced with lung-lavage in rats Methods Twenty Wistar rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium and were ventilated with the peak inspiratory pressure(PIP) being 1 47 kPa and E:I at 1:1 following intubation through tracheotomy In all rats whole double lung lavage were performed with normal saline (37℃, 40 ml?kg -1 ) 8 10 times after PIP and PEEP were adjusted to 1 96 kPa and 0 49 kPa respectively The rats were randomly divided into A and B groups after PaO 2 decreased to less than 12 kPa In group A (n=10): PS (25mg, 0 5ml) was injected intratracheally to lungs; in group B (n=10): PS (25mg, 0 5ml) containing ketamine 2 5 mg was injected At 120th min after PS injection, PIP and PEEP were gradually adjusted to 1 47 kPa and 0 kpa (ZPEEP), respectively Results PaO 2 in both groups decreased significantly from 59 3 kPa to 10 3 kPa after lung lavage(P0 05 vs pre-lavage) All rats in group B and 4 of 10 rats in group A survived at the end of experiment Conclusions Intratracheal administration with PS containing ketamine not only reverses hypoxemia , but also maintains the respiratory function under low airway pressure without PEEP after respiratory failure induced with lung lavage,

Objective To explore the relationship between the change of serum β-HCG and the effect of　conservative treatment in tubal ectopic pregnancy.Methods 95 patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy were treated with single dose methotrexate injection.Among them,87 patients were successfully cured,16 patients were treated with the 2nd dose and Chinese herbal medicine orally:8 patients failed.The change of serum β-HCG levels after the first and 2nd course of treatment were measured.Results It showed that after the first or 2nd course of treatment,the cases which serum β-HCG level reducing less than 15%in patients who had successful treatment were signiflcantly lower than that in patients who failed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Detecting the change of serum β-HCG concentration can evaluate the therapeutic effect in tubal ectopic pregnancy with conservative treatment,and according that surgical operation should be chosen if serum β-HCG reduce less than 15%after two courses of treatment.
