Two unusual cases of coexistence of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis were reported. The diagnosis was based on the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, laboratory data and histological findings. If patients with confirmed evidence of subacute thyroiditis were accompanied with markedly and persistently elevated titers of thyroid autoantibodies, coexistence of both diseases should be suspected.

On the basis of Shay's ulcer model, we have studied the effects of food re. striction time on the experimental gastric ulcer in rats. The results indicat that each restricted group forms gastric ulcer after ligation of pylorus 18 hr. There are a postive correlation between the restricted time and the severity of gastric ulcer, and a negative correlation between the severity of gastric ulcer and the amount of gastric acid secretion. We suggested that Shay's ulcer model does not belong to peptic ulcer, but belonges to one of the stress ulcers. The restricted time may play an important role in the mechanism for this ulcer model.

Objective To explore the main reason of secondary barrenness resulted from drug miscarriage before childbearing. Methods Gynecologic examination was performed in 156 patients with secondary barrenness after drug miscarriage. Uterus neck and vaginal smear examination, mycoplasma and chlamydozoon detection, and hysterosalpingograghy were performed in the same time. Results 101 patients (101/156,64.74%) had genital duct inflammation,61 patients (61/156,39.1%) had various degrees of tubal obstruction. Conclusion The main reason of secondary barrenness after drug miscarriage was the tubal obstruction resulted from inflammation, especially chlamydozoon and mycoplasma infection. Drug miscarriage was not so safe before childbearing.

The constant iv. of aconitine can induce the varied arrhythmias in mice. Taurine 100mg/kg iv. or Quinidine 5 mg/kg iv. can delays the onset time of arrhythmias, and increases the dose of aconitine, respectively .But no effects were seen in mice pretreated with taurine 50mg/kg or quinidine 2.5mg/kg. However their combination can significantly decrease the incident of ventricular fibrillation and delay the onset time of death. Our results suggested that taurine, quinidine and their combination are effective on arrhythmias induced by aconitine in mice.

The effect of Taurine ( Tau)on 45Ca influx of isolated left ventricular muscles in rats has been investigated. The 45Ca influx of the preparations untreated with Tau, are affected by the concentrations of calcium in KH solution. when the concentration of calcium is 0.62; 1.25; and 1.87mmol/L respectively, the 45Ca influx is 1.02? 0.25; 1.37?0.14 and 1.45?0.14 ?mol/g wet tissue, respectively. After adding Tau, the situations above were changed significantly. It was shown that is 1.11 ? 0.11, 1.45?0.12, and 1.48 ? 0.09 ?mol/g wet tissue in low Ca2?; 1.19?0.07, 1.14 ? 0.23, and 0.97?0.24 ?mol/g wet tissue in normal Ca2?; and 1.12?0.05,0.58?0.18 and 0.53?0.10 ?mol/g wet tissue in high Ca2? treated with Tau 10, 20, and 40 mmol/L, respectively. The results show that the varied ,Ca2? concentrations in KH solution can affect 45Ca influx of cardiac muscles, but Taurine has a bisphasic modulation o,f calcium influx in the same tissue. The effects of modulating calcium may play an important role for anti-arrhythmic mechanism of Taurine.

The urinary concentration of pseudouridine, primarily a degradation product of transfer ribonucleic acid, was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography in 84 patients with lung cancer, 22 patients with pulmonary infectious diseases and 69 healthy controls. The concentration of pseudouridine in the patient with lung cancer (33.46 ? 9.94nmol/ ?mol) was significantly higher than that in the paients with pulmonary infectious diseases (26.25 ? 4.17nmol/ ?mol, P

Objective:To explore the influential factors of cognitive change among Chinese oldest-old.Method: Three waves of data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey(CLHLS)were analyzed with a two-level repeated measures model.Results:In baseline,the male had a higher mean MMSE score than the female(27.0?3.7/24.4?5.6,P

Objective To study the relationship among the slow vertex response (SVR) ,tone burst ABR threshold and pure tone thresholds in young people with normal hearing ,and to discuss the values of SVR and tb -ABR assessing hearing thresholds .Methods A total of 30 normal-hearing young people aged 20 to 24 were indud-ed in this study .The thresholds of SVR ,tb -ABR and threshold of PTA were tested at each verbal frequency (0 .5 ,1 ,2 ,4 kHz) .The differences and the relationship among SVR with PTA ,tb-ABR ,and PTA were statistical-ly studied .Results The differences between SVR and tb -ABR and PTA at various frequencies were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The minimum difference between SVR and PTA was (3 .59 ± 7 .32) dB at 0 .5 kHz .The differences of 1 ,2 ,and 4 kHz were 6 .92 ± 5 .07 ,8 .33 ± 6 .71 ,and 9 .83 ± 9 .41 dB ,respectively .The minimum differences between tb -ABR and PTA was 14 .58 ± 7 .24 dB at 4 kHz ,and the differences of 0 .5 ,1 ,and 2 kHz were 29 .42 ± 6 .83 ,23 .25 ± 7 .47 ,and 16 .50 ± 6 .43 dB ,respectively .SVR and PTA had a good correlation at 1 and 2 kHz (r=0 .51 ,P<0 .01 and r=0 .44 ,P<0 .05 ,respectively) .tb-ABR and PTA had a good correlation at 4 kHz (r=0 .53 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion In normal hearing young population ,SVR and tb-ABR can estimate PTA well , and the former is closer to PTA threshold .
