The clinical data of 39 cases of idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) confirmed by operation were analyzed. The indications of operation consisted of (1) unable controlled the patients′ conditions by pharmacotherapy, (2) severe side effects due to high doses of medication and (3) difficulty in distinguishing between adenoma and nodule hyperplasia. The unilateral total adrenalectomy was suggested.

Objective To evaluate the possible association between depression and cellular immunologic status in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA). Method Depression was assessed with the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, the interleukin-2 (IL-2) produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were measured in 60 patients with CA. Results The SDS scores in patients with CA were significantly higher than those in the controls (P 3 months) were significantly higher than those in patients with short duration (≤3 months) (P

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and β-blockers plus isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) in prevention of esophageal varieeal re-bleeding. Methods The randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN for the prevention of esophageal varieeal re-bleeding were searched, and only the results from those with Jadad score higher than 3 were eval-uated with RevMan 4. 2 software for odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%C1). Analysis of sensitivity was performed on the quality of the data and publication bias was investigated with funnel plots. Results Four trials matched the criteria were recruited including 504 cases with a follow-up from 8 to 25 months. There was no significant difference in rates of re-bleeding (OR =0. 93, 95% CI =0. 41 ～ 2. 11 ; P = 0. 87), re-bleeding due to esophageal varices (OR = 0. 68, 95% CI = 0. 19 ～ 2. 37 ; P = 0. 54), therapy-re-lated adverse effects (OR = 1.12, 95% CI =0. 75 ～ 1.67, P = 0. 57), severe adverse events (OR = 0. 89, 95% CI =0. 47 ～ 1.67, P = 0. 71), bleeding-related mortality (OR = 2. 11, 95% CI = 0. 88 ～ 5.08, P = 0. 10), or overall mortality (OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 0. 95 ～ 2. 24, P = 0. 09) between EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN groups. However, a trend towards lower bleeding-related mortality and overall mortality favored drug therapy. There was no heterogeneity found in the outcomes apart from re-bleeding (P = 0. 003) or re-bleeding from esophageal varices (P <0. 0001). The result of sensitivity analysis remained statistically sta-ble. Symmetric funnel plots showed there was no evidence of publication bias. Conclusion EVL and β-blockers plus ISMN show an equivalent efficacy and safety for the prevention of esophageal variceal re-bleed-ing. There is a trend towards lower bleeding-related mortality and overall mortality in drug therapy. But EVL is free from drug-related side effects, and its adverse events are similar to those of drug therapy. Thus, either of the two approaches can be used as the first choice for prophylaxis of re-bleeding of esophageal varices.

Objective To discuss the anesthesia experience for the elderly patients undergoing total. Methods All 50 cases received the epidural anesthesia, during the operation, MAP,HR and SPO2 were monitored. The blood glucose was monitored for each 45 minutes for the diabetes patients. Results All patients satisfied with the effect of epidural anesthesia, blood pressure dropped to varying degrees, the appropriate colloidal solution was used to expand capacity, prepared baek-ephedrine and alropine. These measures help maintain a stable blood pressure, iinprove the blood indexes, save blood transfllsion, reduce the ineidenee of lung infection, also provide a good postoperative epidnral analgesia. reduce Ihe occurrence of postoperative complications. Conclusion Continuous epidural anesthesia in ehterly patients with total hip replacement might help reduce postoperative complications and improve the quality of rehabililtation.

The β-cyclodextrin cross-linked polymer(β-CDCP) was used as adsorbent to pre-concentrate/separate the trace p-nitrophenol and then the determination was carried by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Under alkaline condition,the adsorption/elution behavior of p-nitrophenol was studied. In 0. 02 mol/L NaOH solution and at room temperature for 30 min,the resin could separate and pre-concentrate the p-nitrophenol effectively. Methanol solution(1:1,V/V) was used as eluent and the β-CDCP could be used repeatedly. The linear range and detection limit was 0.5 -90.0 mg/L and 3. 10 μg/L,respectively. The proposed method has been used to determine the p-nitrophenol in synthesized sample with satisfactory results.

Objective To evaluate the quality of life and correlated factors in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA). Methods 101 patients with CA and 50 healthy people as control were assessed by using the questionnaire of QOL-35. Results Compared with control group, the total score and general, physical, inde-pendence, psychological, social, environment domains scores of QOL were lower significantly in the CA group ( P <0.05). The QOL score has negative correlation with course of disease( r= -0.233, P<0.05), recurrence times(r= -0.556, P<0.05). Nevertheless, it has no noticeable correlation with gender, age, marital status, education, career (P0.05). Conclusion Quality of life was lower in patients with CA, and it was closely related with the course of disease and recurrence times.

AIM　To observe the protective effects of TGP on local cerebral ischemia. METHODS　The local cerebral ischemia in rat was made by middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). The infraction weight was determined by NBT stain. SOD, MDA and apoptosis were determined with different method respectively. RESULTS　TGP 20 mg*kg-1 ip markedly improved the abnormal nervous symptoms, increased the SOD activity and reduced contentes of MDA in MCAO rat. TGP 20 mg*kg-1 ip significantly decreased the numbers of apoptotic cells in ischemic cortex. CONCLUSION　TGP has protective effects against cerebral infarction, and its mechanism may be related to anti-apoptosis and free radical.

Newborn due to low birth weight caused by preterm or fetal growth restriction will have an adverse effect on kidney development. In adulthood,the long-term adverse effects of low birth weight are associ-ated with a variety of kidney disease. Current studies suggest that low birth weight may participate in a variety of kidney disease development and progression by affecting the nephron number,the function of the vascular struc-ture and the endocrine level. This paper mainly reviews the relationship between low birth weight and kidney dis-ease.

Objective To explore the application of bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) with respiratory failure.Methods 126 COPD patients with type Ⅱ respiratory failure were selected and divided into control group and research group,63 cases in each group.The control group received regular treatment,and the research group received bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation on the basis of regular treatment.,The results of blood gas analysis,respiratory frequency(RR),heart rate(HR) and expiratory flow(PEF) were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The indicators of pH,PaCO2,PaO2 in the research group after treatment were (7.41±0.08),(51.26±12.13)mmHg,(77.28±15.34)mmHg,which in the control group were (7.26±0.07),(67.21±13.05)mmHg,(69.26±14.31)mmHg,compared with before treatment,pH and PaO2 of the two groups were increased,PaCO2 was decreased after treatment,and the three indicators of the research group were changed significantly better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=11.2,7.11,3.03,all P<0.01).After treatment,HR and PR of the two groups were decreased,PEF was increased.The three indicators of the research group were also changed significantly better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=3.13,8.58,5.45,all P<0.01).Conclusion Bilevel non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of COPD with respiratory failure has remarkable clinical effects,can significantly improve the patients' blood gas analysis index,HR,RR and PEF,and it is worthy of clinical application.
