Purpose:To study the salvage treatment of recurrent intermediate—high grade non Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Methods:24 cases of recurrent intermediate—high NHL were divided into two groups: 10 cases with poor prognostic factors in group one(G1), 14 cases without poor prognostic factors in group two(G2).All cases were treated with ifosfamide(IFO), mitoxantrone(Mx), pingyangmycine(PYM), prednisone(Pred) (IMPP). IFO 1.5 g/m 2 iv on days 1 to 4, and mesna iv at hours;0, 4, 8 Mx 8 mg/m 2 on day 1; PYM 5mg/m 2 im on days 8 and 15; and Pred 100mg/d po on days 1 to 5. Every 4 weeks as one cycle. Assessment was given after 2 cycles. Results:The total CR rate was 58.3%(14/24), RR 79.2%(19/24). The CR rate was 30%(3/10), RR 60%(6/10) in G1 and the CR rate was 78.5% (11/14), RR 92.8%(13/14) in G2 ,respeetively. The difference of the two groups in CR and RR was significant( P

Objective: To explore the efficacy and mechanism of warm needling moxibustion plus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Methods: A total of 70 OVCF patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was given PKP treatment, and the observation group was treated with warm needling moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were scored and the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae was measured before and after treatment. The re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae was recorded at 1-year follow-up. The serum levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and omentin-1 were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the VAS and ODI scores in both groups decreased (all P<0.05), and all the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae in both groups decreased (both P<0.05), and the Cobb angle in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 1-year follow-up, the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in both groups increased significantly (all P<0.05), and the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of warm needling moxibustion plus PKP can relieve pain, improve dysfunction, promote healing of the injured vertebrae, and reduce the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in patients with OVCF due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis, which may be related to the increase of serum TGF-β 1 and omentin-1 levels.

Non-invasive transcutaneous monitoring(TCM) of oxygen and carbon dioxide,with continuous,non-invasive characteristics,is in common use and significant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),which can directly reflect critically ill newborns'changes of respiratory and circulatory function.This review describes how to use TCM appropriately,compares the advantages and disadvantages of TCM with other monitoring devices,introduces its application in neonatal transport and NICU.

In the scientific,systematic,practical and feasible principles,the quality control needs and management needs of health authorities and medical institutions were analyzed.The study probed into the real-time monitoring functions of existing hospital information systems and information products of IT technology firms,and the feasibility of setting up key monitoring points during medical service processes.685 real-time monitoring indicators have been set up for real-time monitoring of medical process quality.

The article describes the development of new magnetic bead separation and purification instrument. The main application of the instrument is to capture tubercle bacillus from sputum. It is a pretreatment instrument and provides a new platform to help doctors to diagnose bacillary phthisis. Not only could it be used for tubercle bacillus capturing, but also for gene, protein and cell separating and purification. Because the controller of the instrument is 16-bit single chip microcomputer, the cost could be greatly reduced and it will be widely used in China.

Objective To explore the effect of immobilization with plaster cast applying in children's rehabilitation after knee arthroscopic surgery,and discuss the clinical significance of immobilization with plaster cast in children's rehabilitation after knee arthroscopic surgery.Methods A total of 72 objectives suffered from knee joint diseases were chosen and received knee arthroscopic surgery from January 2013 to November 2014.They were classified into the experimental group and the control group with the random digit table with 36 patients in each group.The control only underwent the regular rehabilitation exercise.The experimental group was given fixation with plaster caster before they got rehabilitation exercise.The three indexes such as pain degree,the compliance of children knee function exercise and the range of knee motion in different time courses were compared after operation.Results The VAS pain scores of the experimental group and the control group were (2.12±0.70),(2.37±0.61) respectively with statistical significance,P＜0.05.On the third day,one week and two weeks after operation,the complete compliance of children with knee function exercise was 83.3％ (30/36) vs.8.3％ (3/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.22.2％ (8/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.22.2％ (8/36) in the experimental group and the control group,Z values were-6.343,-6.400,-6.400,P＜ 0.01.On the second,third and fourth weeks after operation,the good rates of knee motion range in the experimental group and the control group were 50.0％ (18/36) vs.16.7％ (6/36),94.4％ (34/36) vs.83.3 (30/36),97.2％ (35/36) vs.81.6％ (31/36),Z values were-3.345,-2.861,-2.012,P＜0.01.Conclusions The use of immobilization with cast plaster in children's rehabilitation after the knee arthroscopic operation could significantly relieve the pain brought by the surgery,as well as increase the level of appliance of knee function exercises and improve the range of knee motion greatly.Therefore,it could help children to restore the knee function earlier and furthermore to promote life quality after receiving knee arthroscopic surgery.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of the triglyceride core of circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.LPL can not only affect the lipoprotein level,but also play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.LPL gene polymorphisms may affect LPL activity,and therefore have both pro-and anti-atherogenic effects.This article reviews the relationship between LPL gene polymorphism and atherosclerosis.

Objectives To investigate the serum levels of IL-13 and n erve growth factor (NGF) and their clinical significance in patients with system ic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The serum levels of IL-13 and NGF were m easured by ELISA in 35 SLE patients and 15 normal controls. Results The serum levels of IL-13 and NGF in patients with active SLE were both significantly high er than those in patients with inactive SLE (IL-13: 92.69 ? 9.87 pg/mL versus 5 4.22 ? 9.31 pg/mL, P

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder defined by the presence,growth,and invasion of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.Although many hypotheses have been proposed,the etiology of the disease remains an enigma.Recent studies have suggested that factors within the peritoneal fluid contribute to endometriotic implant invasion,neovascularization,and proliferation.Chemokines,especially ENA-78,similar to IL-8,are postulated to play an essential role in the local inflammatory reactions seen in endometriosis.
