[Objective]To study the regulation effects of Oridonin on pulmonary artery pressure in pulmonary hypertension rats with hypoxia-hypercapnia and its mechanism.[Methods]SD rats were divided in to three groups randomly: the normal control group(NC),the hypoxia-hpercapnia group(HH),and the hypoxia-hpercapnia plus Oridonin group(O).The time of hypoxia-hypercapnia was 4 weeks.The mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP),right ventricular rate(RV/(LV+S)),percentage of thickness of pulmonary artery wall in vascular external diameter(WT%),percentage of pulmonary artery wall area in total vascular area(WA%),vitality of caspase3 and caspase9,expression cyt-c of each group were observed.[Results]The mPAP,RV/(LV+S),WT%,WA% in group HH were significantly higher than those in group NC(P

Renal scarring can cause hypertension, proteinuria, chronic kidney disease, and even end stage renal disease. To understand the risk factors of renal scarring in children is helpful for its early detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. High grade vesicoureteric reflux, recurrent urinary tract infection, and delayed treatment are risk factors for kidney scarring. However, there are still some controversies about the relationship between renal scarring and the some factors such as gender, age, and congenital factors. Recent studies have found that noninvasive urine indicators such as urine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipid delivery protein, urinary endothelin-1, and risk prediction models can predict the formation of renal scar. However, prophylactic use of antibiotics can reduce occurance of urinary tract infections, but do not reduce the risk of renal scarring. This article reviews the possible risk factors and predictors of renal scarring in children, providing a basis for early detection, timely intervention, and effective prevention of it in clinic, so as to reduce the formation and progression of renal scarring.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of methionine, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in Lingzhi Erwei methionine capsules. Methods:The determination was performed on a Ultimate? AQ-C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm,Welch Inc. ) with the detection wavelength at 220 nm. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 0. 07 mol·L-1 sodium heptanesulfonate solution (14 ml triethylamine diluted with water to1 000ml, adjusting pH to 3. 5 with diluted orthophosphoric acid) with gradient elution, and the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1. Results: Methionine, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 was in good linearity within the range of 0.527 0-1.510 0 mg·ml-1 - (r =0.999 9), 0.045 52-0.136 56 mg·ml-1 (r =0.999 9) and 0.010 10-0. 060 58 mg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9), respectively. The mean recovery was 100. 5%, 97. 7% and 101. 5% with RSD of 0. 5%, 1. 0%and 1. 4%(n=9) accordingly. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate, reliable and appropriate in the simultaneous determina-tion of methionine,vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in Lingzhi Erwei methionine capsules.

Physical diasnostic techenique is the core curriculum of clinical medicine speciality. It is the bridge curriculum between basic medicine and clinical medicine. To further improve the teaching level of clinical medicine speciality and to reform personnel training mode of clinical medicine speciality in higher vocational college, we investigate the relevant content according to the work process curriculum course developing route.

Objective To observe the short-term fusion rate of using osteophyte filled cage in ante-rior cervical disectomy and fusion. Methods From May 2007 to May 2009, 103 patients receiving anterior cervical disectomy, spine fusion by different surgeons were performed with cages containing exclusively au-tologous osteophyte collected from both anterior and posterior vertebral edges adjacent to the intervertebral space. There are 69 males, 34 females, from 25 to 77 years of age, average 53.6 years. 60 patients received one level fusion. 33 and 10 patients received two-level and three-level fusion respectively. Patients were re-viewed 3 months after operation and fusion was evaluated by X-ray film, reconstructive CT and MR. Results 1. Only 1.9% (2/103) of patients' X-ray films indicate non-fusion (internal fixation failure) while 31.7% (32/ 103) of patients' CT and 30.1% (31/103) of patients' MR indicate non-fusion or being confusing to make a diagnosis. 2. The diagnostic coherence between CT and MR as to evaluate fusion is good (kappa=0.686, P= 0.00). 3. The total fusion rate was 77.7%(80/103) while the highest fusion rate achieved by single surgeon was 90%(18/20). The total one level fusion rate was 80%(48/60) while the highest rate by single surgeon was 88.2%(15/17). The total two-level fusion rate was 78.6%(26/33) while the highest rate by single sur-geon was 90%(9/10). The total three-level fusion rate was 60%(60/100) while the highest rate by single surgeon was 100%(3/3). No statistic significant difference in fusion rate was found between any two of the three groups. Conclusion The method of using osteophyte filled cage can acquire ideal short-term fusion rate in one and two-level anterior cervical disectomy, fusion and plate fixation.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofTiao Du Tong Ren (regulating the Governor Vessel and Unblocking the Conception Vessel) needling in treating post-stroke depression.Method Sixty patients with post-stroke depression were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened byTiao Du Tong Ren needling, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The HAMD scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.05). The change of HAMD score after intervention in the treatment group was markedly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionTiao Du Tong Ren needling method is an effective approach in treating post-stroke depression.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM)system can record patients blood pressure of 24 h on the predetermined time. The primary data forms the graph,the curve and the general report by operation of the related software after the analysis and statistics processing. Patients keep daily life condition,so the blood pressure data is more accuracy. ABPM can provide the dynamic change of the patients 24 h blood pressure,including the 24 h blood pressure survey data,the undulation situation and the change tendency. ABPM has become an useful element in the evaluation and follow - up of hypertension in adults. And ABPM is increasingly used to evaluate the blood pressure of children and adolescents in recent years. The ABPM has been shown to differ significantly values.

The myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS),which are characterized by the presence of ineffective hematopoetic stem cells.Research on pathogenesis and related epigetics has made significant progress in recent years,more and more abnormal cytogenetics and gene mutations are used for prognosis and treatment options for MDS.In the 56th American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting,lots of gene mutations were introduced.
