[Objective]To observe the effects of chronic renal failure (CRF)on hearing and investigate its mechanism.[Methods] Twenty-nine male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:Ⅰthe normal rats as control for 12 days (n=6); Ⅱrats given adenine(ig) for 12 days (n=8); Ⅲthe normal rats as control for 24 days (n=6);Ⅳ rats given adenine(ig) for 24 days(n=9). The rat model of CRF was produced by being perfused of adenine [300mg/kg]for 12d and 24d. Brain-stem auditory evoked potential(BAEP) was utilized to evaluate the auditory function and renal tissue morphology was observed; Serum sampling was used to determine the content of Cr, BuN. The expression of NOSⅡin the cochlear was measured by immunohistochemical technique.[Results] After adenine given for 12d or 24d, the Cr and BuN were in significant higher level than that in control group. The BAEP thresholds were gradually higher than that in control group, the BAEP delitescence prolonged. Light microscopic observation of renal tissue showed that the degree of fibrosis was gradually higher. Data of immune histochemistry about the cochlear tissue showed that the expressions of NOSⅡ were feebly positive in the cochlear vassal texture, inner-outer hairy cell and helical-ganglion cell, and following functional damage of the kidney, their expressions reinforced gradually, amongst which strongest expression was vassal texture, the next helical-ganglion cell, the last inner-outer hairy cell.[Conclusion]CRF can result in deafness. It is likely concerned with toxic effects of the metabolizable substance, the metabolizable dysfunction of the electrolyte, shortage of trace elements, etc. One of the important mechanisms of the effects of CRF on hearing is the toxic damage of NO to cochlea.

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test is the base of genetic epidemiology. The new methods for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test involve: X chromosome-linked single nucleotide polymorphism Hardy-Weinberg test, inbreeding coefficient(F) test, an incomplete enumeration algorithm for an exact test of Hardy-Weinberg proportions with multiple alleles, and graphical tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium based on the ternary plot. It is necessary to conduct Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test in genetic epidemiology studies and adjust the associations as deviation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium occurs.

On the basis of analyzing traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) pathogenesis character of early hypertension in Macao,to induce the main pathological mechanism of early hypertension is stagnation of phlegm and blood,excess of liver yang.Activiting qi,blood and regulating vessel are general principles of treatment.Dissipating phlegm and promoting blood circulation,repressing hyperactive liver yang and nourishing tendon interrupt early pathological change,moreover,it embodies the TCM theory of ‘early treatmrnt to prevent deterioration’.

Objective: To select the optimum alcohol concentration of Shangtong Tincture. Methods: The percutaneous absorption test was performed on excised rats skin in improved Franz diffusion cell. The penetrative amount of paeonol was determined quantitatively by HPLC and the content of paeonol as a marker. Results: The penetrative amount of paeonol of Shangtong Tincture with 60%～80% alcohol concentration have a optimal value, the average rate is 0.010mg/cm 2?h. Conclusion: Shangtong Tincture with 70% alcohol concentration is the best.

Object To study the condition of Wenpi Decoction (WPD) with being decocted first and later added medicinal materials. Methods Contents of aconitine and free anthraquinone in WPD were determined by HPCE. Results Aconitine could reach the safe limit after Radix Aconiti Preparata being decocted 30 min first and the content of free anthraquinone was the highest after Radix et Rhizomea Rhei being decocted 10 min later. Conclusion Radix Aconiti Preparata should be decocted first and Radix et Rhizomea Rhei should be decocted later in WPD.

Objective To explore the effects of clarithromycin on the expressions of histone deacetylase-2 (HDAC2) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) of cigarette smoke-exposed asthmatic mice.Methods BALB/c mice were chosen to be the subjects of this study.They were raised to establish asthma model (OVA group);and mice in one asthma group were exposed to smoke (SEA group), one asthma group were treated with clarithromycin (CAM group) after smoke exposure.Control group mice were used as parallel comparison.The histopathological changes were studied to assess lung tissue inflammation.Cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were also tested for airway inflammation.Histone deacelytase2 (HDAC2) activity of lung tissues was measured by qRT-PCR.HDAC2 and GR expressions in the lung tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Histopathologic observation showed massive infiltration of inflammatory cells in both OVA group and SEA group, while inflammation infiltration attenuated in CAM group.Compared with those in CAM group, the levels of IL-4 and IL-8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of SEA group increased significantly (104.36±14.39 vs.65.49±10.82, 681.35±66.18 vs.321.49±90.37;P=0.031, 0.017).The expression of HDAC2 mRNA in CAM group was significantly higher than that in SEA group (0.062±0.013 vs.0.031±0.015, P=0.032).The expressions of HDAC2 protein (0.23±0.017 vs.0.49±0.022, P=0.033) and GR protein (0.19±0.014 vs.0.64±0.023, P=0.011) were significantly lower in SEA group than in CAM group.Conclusion Clarithromycin could attenuate airway inflammation in smoke-exposed asthmatic mice.The mechanism of action may be related to the expression of HDAC2 gene in the lower reaches by combining with GR.

Objective To observe the changes of peripheral blood T lymphocytes,IFN-?,TNF-? and IL-4 in rats infected by T.gondii.Methods 48 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were intra-abdominally injected with 2?105/L of cellulose purified living tachyzoites in 2 ml and randomly divided into 8 groups.Six rat was intra-abdominally injected 2 ml of saline as control and 4 rats were remained as normal control.Peripheral blood was collected and the level of IFN-?,TNF-?,IL-4 was analyzed by ELISA on day 1,3,7,14,28,35,42,60.Results Level of IFN-?(6.73 pg/ml)and IL-4(6.91 pg/ml)increased in experimental rats on day 7(P

OBJECTIVE To study the usage of antibiotics in aseptic operation,and strengthen the management of antibiotics usage. METHODS We investgated the usage of antibiotics in aseptic operation retrospectively,then statistically analyzed. RESULTS Among all the 347 cases,343 cases were used for prophylaxis,the usage rate was 98.85%.The mean time of antibiotic therapy was 7.22 days.90.96% of the patients were treated with antibiotics for 3 days or more,53.35% of the patients were treated beyond 7 days.Ninety one patients were given antibiotics 0.5-2 hours before the operation(26.53%).There were 7 kinds of drugs used in the operation,the cephalosporin class accounted for 70.26%,moreover was third generation cephalosporin. CONCLUSIONS The prophylactic application of antibiotics in the aseptic surgery has some unreasonable phenomenon and must be strengthened.Training the doctor to use the antibiotics reasonably,and the effective surveillance management mechanism be established.

The incidence of venous thromboembolism(VTE) including deep venous thrombosis(DVT) and pulmonary embolism(PE) increases exponentially with age. Age is an independent risk factor, acute and chronic diseases and factors affecting blood coagulation and anticoagulation equilibrium are also associated with VTE. Homocysteine may be an independent risk factor for occlusive vascular disease. The author summarized the risk factor, mechanism of action, diagnosis and therapy of VTE.

Radiotherapy is an effective mean of treatment of gastric cancer. Combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in gastric cancer preoperative, postoperative and palliatie treatments can increase the local control rate and the survival rate of gastric cancer patients. With the development of three-dimensional conformal and intensity modulated radiotherapy, the radiotherapy is being more extensively applied in the comprehensive treatment of gastric cancer.
