Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy in treating low back pain. Methods:Sixty patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy, while the control group was by the tendon-regulating manipulation alone. The lumbar lordosis was measured by X-ray (side view), the pain was evaluated by analgesy meter, the lumbar range of motion was by using goniometer, and the function was judged by Oswestry disability index (ODI) before and after treatment, and the therapeutic efficacy was also observed. Results:After treatment, the pain level was significantly reduced, lumbar lordosis was significantly increased, the lumbar range of motion was markedly improved, and the ODI score significantly dropped (allP<0.05) in both groups; the improvement of each item in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (allP<0.05). The total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 63.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of low back pain, tendon-regulating manipulation plus kinesiotherapy can mitigate topical pain, improve the motion of low back, enhance the quality of life, and produce a more significant therapeutic efficacy compared to tendon-regulating manipulation alone.

Objective: To investigate the expression of HSP-27,-60 and -90 in gastric cancer and its clinical significance. Methods:66 cases of gastric carcinoma was detected by immunohistochemistry HSP-27,60 and 90 of the expression and clinical significance of combined with clinical and pathological characteristics, tumor cell proliferation and survival analysis of three kinds of heat shock protein expression. Results: HSP-27,-60 and -90 were highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. HSP-27 expression and tumor size (pT,P=0. 026),organ metastasis (pM,P=0. 046) and pathological staging (P=0. 041),HSP-27 staining intensity and lymph node status were significantly correlated ( pN, P=0. 042 ) . HSP-60 expression was associated with gender ( P=0. 011),and HSP-60 staining intensity was associated with age (P=0. 027) and tumor grade (P=0. 031). There was no correlation between HSP-90 expression and the clinical pathological parameters of this study; however, the intensity of HSP-90 staining was significantly correlated with tumor size (P=0. 020,pT). Single factor analysis showed that HSP-90 was significantly associated with longer survival (P=0. 033). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that HSP-90 was highly expressed as an independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer (P=0. 026). Conclusion: the HSP-27,-60 and -90 and some clinical pathological parameters. These parameters is very important for the treatment of patients with gastric cancer. The high expression of HSP-90 in patients with gastric cancer were inde-pendent prognostic indicators.

A method was developed for the determination of four sulfa antibiotics in groundwater, soil and excreta using solid phase micro extraction disks coupled with high performance liquid chromatography. The influence of eluent, different solid phase micro extraction membranes on the recovery of sulfa antibiotics in groundwater was investigated and it was found that when using the mixture of methyl alcohol and 1 . 0% formic acid as eluent, HLB ( divinyl benzene-N-vinyl pyrrolidone polymer ) as extraction membranes, an optimal enrichment effect was obtained. Different pretreatment methods for the 3 kinds of samples abovementioned were also examined. It was found that the signal response values obtained by using mixture of methyl alcohol and 1 . 0% formic acid as base solution of standard or sample solution was higher 8-10 times than that by using methyl alcohol only. Under the optimal conditions, good linear relationships were obtained in the sulfa antibiotics concentrations of 0 . 005-10 . 0 mg/L with the correlation coefficients>0 . 9999;The detection limits of sulfathiazole ( ST ) , sulfadiazine ( SM ) , sulfamethazine ( SM2 ) , sulfamethoxazole ( SMX ) were 1 . 08 , 3. 56, 4. 63 and 1. 84 ng/L(S/N=3), respectively. The enrichment factors for four sulfa antibiotics were 4000 times with solid phase micro extraction disks. The RSD of matrix spiked samples were 0. 1%-0. 4%(n=7). The proposed method was applied to the determination of the four sulfa antibiotics in groundwater, soil and excreta with spiked recoveries of the four sulfa antibiotics in the range of 69 . 80%-117 . 60%.
