Objective To study the normal value on the motor conduction velocity(MCV) and F wave parameters in normal adults at different age,sex,and provide reasonable datum for clinic.Methods 155 healthy volunteers (male for 76 cases, female for 79 cases,age from 18 to 82 years old) were used as subjects.Distal latency,proximal latency, MCV,F wave latency,the duration between F and M waves (F MIPL),F wave conduction velocity (FCV) as well as the F wave ratio were recorded in bilateral median and ulnar nerves, F wave were elicited with stimulation at wrist.Results There were significant differences in M wave latency, MCV, FwPL, F MIPL and FCV between the different groups of age and sex, the latency of each individual wave was shorter in the female than in the male.the conduction velocity(CV) of the female was faster than the male. No significant differences in the F wave ratio were found between male and female, left and right limbs for the same nerve,median and ulnar nerves in the same Limb and in individuals at different age.MCV was usually faster in the proximal than in the distal.Conclusion MCV and F wave parameters changed progressively with increasing age. There were respective normal values in different age group and sex,F wave ratio might provide information in evaluating nerve conduction function in both of the proximal and distal end.

0 1). (4)75 2% of all the patients in DM group showed one or more abnormalities in MCV or F wave parameters, and electrophysiological abnormalitis correlated with, or precede to clinical findings in 175 of 190 patients (92 1%). Conclusion MCV and F wave parameters are sensitive measures for detection of DPN. Among these parameters, FwPL, F MIPL from all the four nerves are the most sensitive. To improve diagnostic accuracy, all the MCV and F wave parameters recorded should be considered.

Currently praziquantel is one of the major drugs used in treatment of schistosomiasis and other trematode infections.Recent experimental studies indicate that a new anthelmintic,tribendimidine,is used in the treatment of intestinal nematodes,also possesses effect against several species of trematodes including Clonorchis sinensis,Opisthorchis viverrini and Echinostoma caproni.Tribendimidine is even more effective against C.sinensis in rats that a single 300 mg/kg oral dose cures almost all of the animals treated,a lower cure dose than praziquantel(375-500 mg/kg).The anti-malarial drugs artemether and artesunate are not only effective in the prevention of schistosomiasis,but also effective against several species of trematodes,especially C.sinensis.The single oral dose of both drugs to cure or achieve high efficacy in infected rats is 75 mg/kg.This review summarized research progress on tribendimidine,artesunate,and artemether in experimental animals infected with C.sinensis and other species of trematodes.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) and the occurrence of apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells (CRC). Methods:Immunohistochemical assays of GOLPH3 and caspase-3 were performed on the paraffin-embedded sections of 62 CRC samples using the standard streptavidin-peroxidase technique. The apoptotic index of the CRCs was examined using the in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labeling technique. The relationship of the GOLPH3 expression, the cell apoptosis, and the clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed. Results:The positive rates of GOLPH3 expression were significantly higher in the CRC tissues (53.2%) than in the normal colorectal mucosa (37.2%;P<0.05). Likewise, GOLPH3 expression was significantly higher in poorly differentiated cancer tissue, tissue outside the serous membrane, metastatic lymph node tissue, and the stage III CRCs, as compared with those of the moderately to well differentiated tissue, tissue inside the serous membrane, lymph node tissue without metastasis, and the stage I to II CRCs (P<0.05). However, GOLPH3 expression was not significantly correlated with the other clinicopathologic pa-rameters, namely, the age and sex of the patients as well as the site, depth, and length of the invasive tumor (P>0.05). The caspase-3 expression and apoptotic index were significantly lower in the GOLPH3-positive CRC tissue than in the GOLPH3-negative tissue (P<0.05). GOLPH3 expression was negatively correlated with the apoptotic index of CRCs based on the Spearman correlation (r=-0.320, P<0.05). Conclusion:GOLPH3 overexpression in CRC tissue is negatively correlated with apoptotic index.
