Objective To explore the value of serum progesterone level in the early diagnosis of ectopie pregnancy. Method Serum progesterone levels were measured prospectively in 36 patients with ectapic pregnancy and 30 women with normal intrauterine pregnancy. Results The serum progesterone level in ectopic pregnancy [(5.12± 3.98) μg/L] was lower than that in normal intrauterine pregnancy [(25.23±6.81) μg/L]. Recommended 11 μg/L as the cutoff point of progesterone concentrations in diagnosis of ectopie pregnancy, the sensitivity rate was 91.7%(33/36), specificity rate was 93.3%(28/30),missed diagnosis rate was 8.3% (3/36) in the diagnosis of eetopie pregnancy. Conclusion The serum progesterone detection can be considered as an early diagnostic method of eetopie pregnancy because it can be measured easily and quickly.

Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are inflammatory myopathies and slowly advanced of unknown etiology that affect the skeletal muscles.With the advancement of the constant research on the disease and use of new technology,people have a penetrating realization about the pathogenesis. The disease is thought to be associated with autoimmune as well as nonimmune mechanism. By now, there is no overall summary on the newest advancement of the pathogenesis.We summarized the progress on the pathogenesis of the disease in order to make it more clear to physicians.

OBJECTIVEThe assessment result of microcirculatory perfusion provides significant evidence for the detection of microcirculatory alterations in sepsis patients, and functional capillary density based on vessel segmentation can reflect microcirculatory perfusion effectively.

METHODSFirst, preprocessing comprise operations to improve the quality of images in order to maximize the contrast between background and vessels. Secondly, adaptive local thresholding is used for initial segmentation to get the general vessel region. Finally, post-processing technique reduces the image artifacts and links the vessel fragment, and then functional capillary density is calculated based on the segmentation results.

RESULTSSeveral sublingual microcirculatory data have been tested, and the agreement between the results by AVA and the proposed algorithm reached up to 92%.

CONCLUSIONSThe method can realize automated assessment of sublingual microcirculatory perfusion rapidly and accurately, and has strong clinical value.

Objective To provide references for improving the quality of TCM decoction pieces through the analysis on sample inspection of TCM decoction pieces of Huguosi TCM Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (hereinafter referred to as our hospital). Methods In our hospital from January 2014 to December 2015, TCM decoction pieces with problems in this sample inspection were categorized according to reasons. Results Quality problems found in the sample inspection were categorized into 3 types, i.e. collection and preparation (69.79%), storage (20.93%) and other problems (9.31%). Cutting in collection and preparation (13.95%), worming in storage (9.30%) and breaking/crumbing (6.98%) were the most obvious problems. Conclusion Strengthening the management of procurement acceptance, strict control of storage and storage conditions, and paying attention to the use of other aspects of management can improve the quality of TCM decoction pieces.

Objective:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Misoprostol promoting cervical mature for before abortion . Method:8 patients of induced abortion operation were enrolled in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2012 , and were randomly divided into observation group and control group, each group had 124 cases, the observation group was given misoprostol which placed in cvaginal fornix preoperative , and control group without prompting cervical ripening drug. Observation of cervical dilatation, degree of pain, operation time and bleeding volume in two groups of patients. Result: The efficiency rate of observation group was 96. 8%, significantly higher than 82. 3% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05);there were 100 cases of painless in the observation group , and 51 cases in control group, the degree of pain in the observation group were obviously improved than the control group , the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05);,operation time of treatment group was shorter than the control group, the amount of bleeding surgery was significantly lower than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Misoprostol is given before induced abortion , can relax cervical effectively, shorten operation time, reduce the patients' pain, reduce the difficulty of operation, increase the safety of operation , is worth the clinical promotion.

Zinc is essential for cell proliferation and differentiation,especially for the regulation of DNA synthesis and mitosis.On the molecular level,it is a structural constituent of a great number of proteins including enzymes of cellular signaling pathways and transcription factors.Zinc can modulate cellular signal recognition,second messenger metabolism,protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities.It may stimulate or inhibit activities of transcription factors,and it may as well be used as a second messenger involved in cell signaling regulation.

Objective To observe the change of sinus heart rate turbulence (HRT) and its relation to left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods The 103 ACS patients and 62 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study, all of them received 24-hour Holter monitor. And the values of turbulence onset (TO), turbulence slope (TS)and heart rate variability (HRV) SDNN were calculated according the Holter records. The clinical information, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were recorded. Then the ACS patients were divided into acute myocardial infarction (AMI)group and unable angina pectoris (UAP) group according to the cardiac enzymes and electrocardiogram. Results The value of TO was significantly higher in ACS group than in control group [(0.17±1.40)％ vs. (- 0.26±0.99)％, P＜0.05], and TS was significantly lower in ACS group than in control group [R-R interval:(0.88±2.51) ms vs. (2.60±2.76) ms, P＜0.01].There were significant differences in TS, LVEF and LVEDD between AMI group and UAP group (all P＜0.01), but there were no differences in HRV and TO between the two groups. TS was positively correlated with LVEF (r=0.21, P＜0.05), while TO was negatively correlated with LVEF (r=-0.26, P＜0.05) by Spearman correlation analysis. Conclusions HRT is significantly blunted in ACS patients and can evaluate cardiac autonomic function. It may be as a predictor of LVSF in ACS patients.

Objective To study the effects of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) on brain tissue in rats with pancreatic encephalopathy (PE). MethodsThirty-six Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (n=6) and PE model group (n=30). In control group, rats were injected with normal saline by internal carotid artery (0.1 ml/100 g) and were killed on the first day after the injection. In PE model group, rats were injected with phospholipases A2 (0.1 ml/100 g, 1 000 U/0.1 ml) by internal carotid artery, to establish animal model of PE in rat and 10 rats were killed on day 1, 3, 7 respectively after the injection. The changes of water content in the brain were measured. Leucocytes aggregation and margination in the microvessels, and the changes of cerebral cells and nerve fibers were observed. The levels of MDA, TNF-? and the activity of SOD were tested in the brain homogenate in rats. ResultsIn PE model group, water contents of brain increased; The phenomena of leucocytes accumulation and margination, cellular edema of neurons and demyelination of nerve fibers became more obvious; The levels of MDA and TNF-? increased significantly than those in the control group, while the activity of SOD reduced (P
