In recent years, pharmacological researches of Chinese medicine have found that single Chinese exterior-relieving medicines such as Pueraria, Semen Sojae Praeparatum and Cimicifuga had very good anti-osteoporosis effect. They can significantly improve the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content(BMC), promote bone formation, and prevent bone absorption. Based on relative documents from home and abroad, this paper analyzed the current situation and provided new ideas and methods for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective To formulate countermeasures of improving nurses′knowledge of malignant hyperthermia by investigating theatre nurses. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 120 theatre nurses for awareness, demand and access about malignant hyperthermia. Results Average correct response rate on the awareness of theatre nurses about malignant hyperthermia was (17.14±9.68)%.There are differences in different education, title and seniority(F=8.002,6.509,2.643,P<0.05).100.0%(120/120)theatre nurses are interested in studying knowledge related to malignant hyperthermia, 94.2%(113/120) theatre nurses are willing to learn knowledge related to malignant hyperthermia. Conclusions The awareness of theatre nurses about malignant hyperthermia is low. It is necessary to strengthen the training of theatre nurses about the knowledge of malignant hyperthermia. A variety of forms can be adopted.

The addition of HER2-targeted therapy has markedly improved the survival and prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer. Inhibiting the HER2 signaling pathway has become the backbone treatment for advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer in the first-line setting. TOGA trial established trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin and 5-flurouracil as the standard first-line treat-ment. In the post-TOGA era, combinations of trastuzumab with other chemotherapy agents were proven to be effective as both the second-line treatment and the conversion treatment. Such combinations are promising in the neoadjuvant treatment for locally ad-vanced gastric cancer. Research focuses on the development of novel anti-HER2 agents in combination with agents targeting against other signal pathways. Real-time monitoring of the gene expression profile is the key to discovering the mechanism of trastuzumab re-sistance. The preliminary results of existing clinical trials have shown potential to overcome resistance to trastuzumab. In this review, we summarized the treatment advancement for HER2 positive gastric cancer and the direction for future development, thereby provid-ing guidance on clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of ulinastatin on perioperative renal function in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.MethodsSixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 35-64 yr weighing 50-75 kg with normal blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) before operation undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 30 each):control group (group C) and ulinastatin group ( group U).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,etomidate and vecuronium and maintained with isoflurane inhalation,propofol TCI,continuous remifentanil infusion and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium.The patients were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.PET CO2 was maintained at 30-35 mm Hg.Ulinastatin 400 000 IU in normal saline 20 ml was infused iv after induction of anesthesia.Ulinastatin 200 000 IU was then infused every 4 h until 48 h after operation.Urine volume and the amount of furosemide administered were recorded before anhepatic phase,and during anhepatic and neohepatic phase.Venous blood samples and urine were collected before induction of anesthesia (T1),at 15 min of anhepatic phase ( T2 ),at 15min of neohepatic phase (T3),at the end of operation (T4) and 48 h after operation (T5) for determination of serum concentrations of BUN,Cr and creatinine clearance rate and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)activity and microalbumin concentration.ResultsCompared with group C,ulinastatin significantly decreased the amount of furosemide administered and increased urine volume during anhepatic and neohepatic phase,decreased serum Cr concentration,increased creatinine clearance rate at T2.5,decreased urinary NAG activity and microalbumin concentration at T4.5 and serum BUN concentration at T3-s.ConclusionUlinastatin has protective effect on rehal function during perioperative period in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the splenic macrophages phenotype and secretory function of mice with periodontitis, so as to explore effects of periodontitis on macrophages. Methods 22 mice were randomly divided into periodental ligation group (group P10d ) and pseudo periodental ligation control group (group C), with 11 mice in each group. The experimental periodental ligation on mice lasted for 10 days before they were sacrificed. Flow cytometry was applied to detect the expression of M1 and M2 in mononuclear macrophages. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the relative expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and anti inflammatory cytokines IL-10. Results Compared with the control group C, the proportion of M1 macrophages in the periodontitis group decreased, and the ratio of M1/M2 was also decreased significantly, and IL-1β mRNA also down-regulated. Conclusions Chronic periodontal infection could down regulate the proportion of M1 macrophages , decrease ratio of M1/M2 and the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1βmRNA.

Objective To explore the relationship between big-five personality,and public mood of volunteers,and to find out the moderator effect of justice sensitivity.Methods A total of 1 022 volunteers were investigated.The Big-Five Inventory (BFI),Public Mood Scale (PMS),Justice Sensitivity Inventory (JSI) were applied to all subjects.Results The average score was (19.77±4.49) for extraversion,(26.69± 4.13) for agreeableness,(23.33±5.37) for conscientiousness,(12.49±4.91) for neuroticism,(24.95±5.44)for openness,(8.78±3.23) for positive public mood,(3.46±3.06) for negative public mood and correlated with (26.85± 10.55) for observer sensitivity.The extraversion,agreeableness,conscientiousness and openness were correlated with positive public mood(β=0.31,P<0.01;β=0.25,P<0.01;β=0.29,P<0.01;β=0.26,P<0.0 1),and negatively correlated with public mood (β=-0.14,P<0.01;β=-0.29,P<0.01;β=-0.20,P<0.01;β=-0.08,P<0.01).Neuroticism was negatively correlated with positive public mood (β=-0.27,P<0.01),and positively correlated with negative public mood (β=0.31,P<0.01).The interaction effect of agreeableness and observer sensitivity negatively correlated with positive public mood,negative public mood (β=-0.09,P<0.01;β=-0.07,P<0.05).The interaction effect of neuroticism and observer sensitivity was positively correlated with positive public mood (β=0.08,P<0.01).Conclusion Observer sensitivity plays a regulative role between big-five personality and mental health,and can slow the negative impact of low agreeableness to positive public mood,strengthen the impact of low agreeableness to negative public mood,and slow the negative impact of high neuroticism to positive public mood.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Mimics finite element analysis software in the gasserian ganglion radiofrequency treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods 180 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia and VAS score ≥8 were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 90 each): CT group (group C) and Mimics group (group M). The preoperative skull CT image of the foramen of cranial base could be analyzed in group C. The preoperative cranial CT image could be reconstructed and analyzed by Mimics finite element analysis software in group M. The puncturing success rate, complications rate and the outcomes between two groups were recorded. Results The puncturing success rates were 100% in group M and 92% in group C (P < 0.05). 6 cases with hematoma and 1 case, which were stabbed into the oral cavity were found in group C. No puncture complication was found in group G. There was no statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). The VAS score was 1.6 ± 0.3 in group C and 1.3 ± 0.4 in group G, there was no statistical significance (P > 0.05) between them. Conclusions The Mimics finite element analysis software could improve the success rate of basicranial foramen ovale puncture and reduce the occurrence rate of puncture complications. Therefore , it could be safely applied to the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia by gasserian ganglion radio frequency.
