Method Trophism fat rat model was induced by feeding hyperalimentation feedstuff for six weeks in infancy rat. Drugs were administered orally after two week for four weeks. The cholesterol total (TC), triglyceride total (TG) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) contents in the serum were determined. Fat weight was weighted. Number and diameter of fat cells were observed. Result Feier Recuperates Fluid (63.0 g/kg) could reduce fat weight, TC and TG contents, and increase HDL-C. Feier Recuperates Fluid could decrease diameter of fat cells, and increase fat cells number slightly. Conclusion Feier Recuperates Fluid could improve markedly lipid metablism of trophism fat rat.

Objective To access the ability of MRI for detecting the radial meniscal tears.Methods Arthroscopy of the knee was performed by a single orthopedic surgeon on 1085 patients. On the basis of the results of arthroscopy, 107(9.9%) knees had radial tears of menisci. Through interval sampling of the patients with meniscal tears but not radial tears, 100 patients were selected as a controlled group. All MR images were analyzed by two radiologists independently. Four radiological signs were used to detect radial tears: cleft and marching cleft sign, detached sign, ghost sign, and small meniscal sign. All the features of MRI were compared with the results of the arthroscopy. Results (1) The most frequent location of radial tears was the midbody of lateral meniscus (71/107, 66. 4%)followed by the boundary of anterior horn and midbody of the lateral meniscus (25/107, 23.4%). (2) One hundred and two of 107 patients were identified as radial tears on MRI. However, 11 of 100 patients with non-radial tears were misdiagnosed as radial tears by MRI. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of MRI were 95.3% (102/107),89.0% (89/100),90.3% (102/113), and 94.7% (89/94),respectively. (3) The cleft sign (59/102, 57.8%) and detached sign (43/102, 42.2%) were the most frequent and important MRI signs. Conclusion The accuracy of MRI to identify the radial meniseal tears'is very high and MRI is the best imaging modality for patients suspected of radial meniscal tears.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shuyusan on the behavior, content of tumor necrosisfactor-α(TNF-α) in cortex of cerebral and neuropeptide expression in hippocampus of rats with chronic mild unpredictable stress (CMUS) depression. Methods Fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal group, model group, fluoxetine group, and high-, low-dose group of Shuyusan. Except normal group, the other groups were given CMUS. Tail suspend test (TST) and sucrose preference test (SPT) were used to estimate animals’ behavior. The contents of TNF-αwas determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The immunocytochemical technique was used to evaluate hippocampus neuropeptide immunoreactive expression. Results The fluoxetine group and high dose of Shuyusan group showed significant increase in the sucrose consumption and decrease in the immobility time in TST, there was significant difference compared with CMUS model group (P<0.05). The TNF-αlevel was significantly lower in fluoxetine group and high dose of Shuyusan group, there difference was significant compared with model group (P<0.05). The neuropeptide immunoreactive neurons in hippocampus area was decreased by a marked number in fluoxetine group and high dose of Shuyusan group, the average optical density decreased significantly, compared with the model group, there were significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Shuyusan has anti-depression likely effect, with dose-effect relationship.

Objective:To study the relations between the length and costs of hospitalization and the severe ad- verse drug events which took place in the gastroenterologic and pulmonary wards.Method:Pharmacists surveyed ADEs in- cluding their existence and preventability in the wards,and found out the quantity of excessive length and extra costs of hos- pitalization.Result:There were totally 20 identified severe ADEs in which 11 were preventable in the pulmonary wards during 8 months and in the gastroenterologic wards during 5 months.The mean attribute length of stay was 17.8 days and mean attribute extra cost of hospitalization was 16,869 yuan for each ADE.The mean attribute length of stay was 19.3 days and mean attribute extra cost of hospitalization was 12,578 yuan for each preventable ADE.Conclusion:The attribute length of stay and extra costs of hospitalization were substantial.Since many severe ADEs were preventable,the effective measure must be taken to decrease their incidence.

Objective The purpose of this article was to investigate the internal tunnel position during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with single-bundle ACL. Methods MRI were performed in 10 knees form 10 volunteers at full extension and at 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° flexion position. All the images obtained were exported into Mimics 10.01. Three-dimensional models were established with Mimics in a computer. All the mark points were confirmed on femur and tibia. The distance between the femoral mark point and tibial mark point was measured. The isometric point was determined as the change in the distance was shorter than 3mm during knee flexion-extension. Results Ten three-dimensional models were established successfully and the isometric points of A0-X, A15-X, A30-X, A45-X, B0-Y, B15-Y, B30-Y, B45-Y, C0-Z, C15-Z, C30-Z, C45-Z, and C60-Z were identified. Conclusion There was no absolute anatomical isometric point, whereas the physiological isometric point did exist. Therefore, determination of tibial point should be considered synthetically. B45-Y was recommended for tunnel position.
