[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.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical effect of sodium aescinate on the edema of limb tibial plate fracture.Methods69 patients with edema of limb of tibial plate fracture were randomly divided into two groups,treatment group(46 cases)and control group(23 cases).Both of them were transfused with 20％ mannitol(250ml,Bid ×7days).In addition,these patients in the treatment group were treated with sodium aescinate(30mg Qd × 7days).ResultsThe repercussive effect of the edema grade in the treatment group were obviously better than those in the control group(P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionSodium aescinate had a remarkable repercussive effect on the limb edema of tibial plate fracture.

Objective To evaluate the treatment of acne vulgaris with acupuncture by different methods of point selection.Methods 51 cases of acne vulgaris were randomly recruited into local point selection group,distal point selection group and combination of local and distal point selection group.10 cases of healthy people were recruited for normal control group.Serum arachidonic acid (AA),free testosterone (FT),and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were observed in all treatment groups.Results After the treatment,serum AA was (20.56±5.28)μg/L,(18.86±5.70) μg/L and (14.62±3.06) μg/L,while SHBG was (333.31±87.96) nmol/L,(332.02±87.82) nmol/L and (273.02±61.74) nmol/L respectively in local point selection group,distal point selection group and combination of local and distal point selection group,both showing no significant difference than the normal control group (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in FT value between the combination of local and distal point selection group (5.62± 1.98) nmol/L and the normal control group (P＞0.05).The decrease of AA in the combination of local and distal point selection group was between than the local point selection group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture can effectively improve the level of inflammatory factors and androgen of the acne vulgaris.Different methods of point selection of acupuncture on the improvement of some indicators were quite different,which laid the foundation for the best compatibility of acupuncture treatment in acne vulgaris.

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.
