Objective To discuss the clinical value of f iberoptic ductoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. Methods A total of 3 000 patients with mastalgia, breast mass or ni pple discharge received examinations by fiberoptic ductoscopy. Cytological exami nations were carried out in part of the patients after ductoscopy. Resu lts Of the 3 000 cases, there were 608 cases of intraductal space-occup ying lesions, 1 709 cases of obstructive galactophoritis, 350 cases of galactost asia, 24 cases of acute galactophoritis, 282 cases of simple mammarv duct ectasi a, and 27 cases of normal mammary ducts. Of 1 167 patients with nipple discharge , intraductal space-occupying lesions were clarified by ductoscopy in 585 cases (50%). Surgery was performed in 643 cases while intraductal interventional thera py was adopted in 2 365 cases. Conclusions Fiberoptic ductosco py may be used for the diagnosis and treatment of various breast diseases, not c onfined to nipple discharge.

OBJECTIVE: To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the concentration of vancomycin in human serum. METHODS: Serum samples were centrifuged after serum protein was precipitated by 20% metaphosphoric acid. The separation was performed on Hypersil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.012 5 mol?L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (10 ∶ 90) at flow rate of 0.8 mL?min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 236 nm and column temperature was set at 25 ℃. RESULTS: The average relative recovery rate of vancomycin in low, medium and high concentrations (2.5,30.8,150.4 mg?L-1) were 99.8%, 101.1% and 98.9% respectively. The inter-day and intra-day RSD were less than 2.5%(n=5). The limit detection of vancomycin in serum was 2.0 mg?L-1. The linear range was within 2.0～170.0 mg?L-1(r=0.999 8). CONCLUSION: The method is simple, accurate, and rapid for the monitoring and phamacokinetic studies of vancomycin in human serum.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent remnant-preserved anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with those who underwent conventional ACL reconstruction (ACLR).Methods From January 2010 to October 2012,93 eligible patients suffered from ACL injuries were randomly allocated into remnant-preserved group (ACLR with remnant preservation;n=48;Male/Female=34/14;Left/Right=25/23) and conventional group (ACLR without remnant preservation;n=45;Male/Female=33/12;Left/Right=22/23).The mean age of patients,time from injury to surgery,rates of combined meniscal injuries,and medial collateral ligament injury all showed no significant difference between the two groups preoperatively.All the patients underwent ACL reconstruction using 4-strand hamstring autografts.The postoperative assessments included knee functional scales (IKDC grade classification and Lysholm score),stability examinations (Lachman,pivot-shift,and KT-1000 arthometer),proprioceptive evaluations,and second-look arthroscopy.Results The average follow-up time was 25.4 months for the remnant-preserved group and 25.2 months for the conventional group.For IKDC grade classification,there were 32 patients with grade A,9 with grade B,1 with grade C in remnant-preserved group,whereas 30 with grade A,8 with grade B,2 with grade C in conventional group,which showed no significant difference between the two groups.Moreover,the Lysholm score (95.9±5.2 vs.95.4±1.7),Lachman test,pivot-shift test,KT-1000 arthometer (1.1±1.2 mm vs.1.2±0.9 mm),proprioceptive evaluations (joint position sense:3.6°± 1.8° vs.3.9°±2.2°) all showed no significant differences between the two groups.Additionally,the synovial coverage of grafted tendon under second-look arthroscopy was categorized as grade A in 11,grade B in 6,grade C in 2,grade D in 2 in remnant-preserved group,whereas grade A in 10,grade B in 5,grade C in 2,and grade D in 2 in conventional group,which still showed no significant difference.Conclusion In terms of the knee functional scales,stability examinations,joint position sense and graft synovial coverage,remnant-preserved ACLR group showed no superiority to the conventional ACLR group.

Aim To investigate the periphery analge-sic effect of myricetin on a rat model of inflammatory pain and the mechanism. Methods Rat models of in-flammatory pain were induced by complete Freund ’ s adjuvant ( CFA) injection in left hindlimb plantar cen-ter. The thermal withdrawal latency ( TWL) was meas-ured before and after CFA or myricetin treatment. Elec-trophysiological method was used to identify the effect of myricetin on the action potential frequency and the voltage dependent potassium channel currents in small DRG neurons. Results Rats with CFA injected showed thermal hyperalgesia ( P <0. 05 ) and TWL in-creased significantly after myricetin intraperitoneally in-jected ( P <0. 05 ) . Current clamp recording showed the action potential frequency of small DRG neurons in rats was inhibited by myricetin ( P<0. 01 ) and voltage calmap recording showed the inhibitory effect of myr-icetin was enhanced by calcium depended potassium channel currents ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Myricetin exerts periphery analgesic effect by enhancing calcium depended potassium channel currents and inhibiting excitability of small neurons of dorsal root ganglion.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the irrational use of the infused drugs in our out-patient clinic.METHODS: In this retrospective study,the infusion prescriptions in our outpatient clinic from 2005 to 2007 were randomly selected for a statistical analysis of the irrational ones based on our knowledge on clinical pharmacology and literature.RESULTS: The problems manifested by the total 81 172 prescriptions were unsuitable solvent,improper dosage regimen,irrational drug combination and repeated drug of medicines etc.CONCLUSION: The use of infused antibiotics in our out-patient clinic were rational on the whole,however,there were some problems which remain to be solved and improved.

OBJECTIVE:To enhance the function of the hospital drug control room(DCR)laboratory. METHODS: The status quo and the chief work carried out there of DCR were analyzed comprehensively. RESULTS: The function of the DCR has gradually extended from quality control of self-made drugs to the monitoring on hospital drug quality and solving of the problems encountered in clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS: The function of the DCR should be enhanced further to shift its focus from drug-centered to patient-centered so as to enhance hospital medical service level and promote rational drug use.

Objective To investigate clinical effect and mechanism of Yudanrongxin pills in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) .Methods 86 cases of AMI in our hospital from February 2014 to February 2015 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group, with 43 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with conventional therapy, while patients in observation group were treated with Yudanrongxin pills on the basis of the control group.The related inflammation factors, indicators of myocardial injury and heart function index were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, in both two groups after treatment, the serum inflammatory factors including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), IL-6,soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), TNF-αand P-selectin decreased, the myocardial injury criterion including creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), myocardial troponin I (cTnI) and myoglobin (Mb) decreased,the cardiac function indexes of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) decreased and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased (P<0.05).Compared with control group, the hs-CRP,IL-6,sVCAM-1,TNF-α,P-selectin,CK-MB,LD,cTnI and Mb in observation group were lower(P<0.05).The degree of improvement at cardiac function was better than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Yudanrongxin pills could better improve cardiac function in treatment with AMI, its role was relative to inhibition of inflammatory factors and myocardial protection against injury.
