Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics as well as immunophenotypes of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma for its differential diagnosis with other similar diseases.MethodsThe clinical、histological and immunophenotypic features of 6 cases were described in detail and related literatures were reviewed.Results All of 6 patients presented with subcutaneous nodules or /and erythematous plaques without lymph nodes swelling and with 5 cases had fever,one case developed to ulcer from its nodules.All of 6 patient presented typical histological changes and 2 of them associated with prominent hemophagocytic syndrome.The neoplastic cells were of T-cell phenotype.Two patients under went an aggressive clinical course with short survival period of 9～16 months and four patients who treated with chemotherapy have an improved survival state,but two of them had recurrence.Conclusion SPTCL is a uncommon type of T-cell lymphoma with clinical and pathological characteristics,and it needs to be differentiated from benign panniculitis or other lymphomas of the skin.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Wenyang Chubi Decoction (WYCBD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and collagen-I (COL-I) in a mouse model of scleroderma. METHODS: Scleroderma was induced in BALB/c mice by daily local injection of bleomycin for three weeks and the mice were randomly divided into untreated, WYCBD-treated and normal saline (NS) treated groups, with another group of BALB/c mice as normal control. WYCBD and NS were given orally for one month respectively. Histopathology in the skin and lungs of the mice were examined. The CTGF and COL-I expressions in the skin or skin lesions were detected by immunohistochemical Elivision assay. RESULTS: The expression levels of CTGF and COL-I in the untreated group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (P<0.05). Compared with the NS-treated group, the WYCBD-treated group had significant improvement in the skin and lung histopathology and remarkably decreased expression levels of CTGF and COL-I (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Scleroderma mice showed high expressions of CTGF and COL-I in the skin. WYCBD had the effects of decreasing the CTGF and COL-I expressions and improving the skin fibrosis.

AIM: To observe the curative effect of Compound Shouwu Granule on hyperlipemia. METHODS: Compound Shouwu Granule was composed of Radix Polygoni multiflori,Fructus,Crataegi Hirudo,Radix Puerariae,Lobatae,etc.the herbs were extracted with the method of percolation respectively.Each gram of extract equals to 8.2 g original medicine material.to take 2 g,each time,twice a day.Six weeks was one treating course.Patients were treated for two treating course.The changes of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein(HDL-C) s,low density lipoprotein(LDL-C)s,were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS: The blood fat descended obviously after 6 weeks treatment. After 12 weeks,the TC descended by 38.4%,the TG descended by 80.8%,the HDL-C went up (91.3%),the LDL-C descended by (30.9%)(P

To establish an HPLC method for determination of dactylorhin A and militarine in Cremastrae Pseudobulbus/Pleiones Pseudobulbus. The analysis was achieved on an Alltech Prevail C18 column (4. 6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) using a mobile phase of acetonitrile (A), water (B) gradient elution in a total run time of 35 min (0 min, 20:80; 30 min, 55:45; 35 min, 55:45) and a diode array detector was set at 224 nm. The flow rate was 0.8 mL x min(-1). The assay displayed good linearity over the concentration range of 0.257-9.95 microg (r = 0.999 8), and 0.128-10.27 microg (r = 0.999 9), respectively. The average recoveries (n = 9) were 94.70% and 102.8% for dactylorhin A and militarine, respectively. The method is accurate, quick, simple and reproducibility. It can be used for the quality control of Pleione bulbocodioides and Pleione yunnanensis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)level and the 131Ⅰahsorbante of thyroid nodule in patients with struma nadosa,to search for simpler and safer methods for differentiating thyroid nodule.Methods Detecting the 131Ⅰ absorbance of thyroid nodule by radioisotope scanning.then the patients were divided into warm and cold nodule groups,and the normal control group was also set up;the levels of IGF-1,FT3,FT4,sTSH were detected in serum of patients with struma nadosa by radio immunoassay,then the correlation between these data and the 131Ⅰabsorbance of thyroid nodule was analyzed.Results In the patients with warnl nodule,the level of serum IGF-1,FT3,FT4 and the 131Ⅰ absorbance of thyroid nodule[(315.86±22.74)μg/L,(9.95±5.62),(67.27±27.31)ng/L,0.64±0.17]were increased obviously when compared with the control group [(256.13±39.85)μg/L,(2.80±1.30),(13.51±5.50)ng/L,0.35±0.15],but the sTSH[(0.35±0.03)mU/L]went down significantly than the control group[(2.71±1.17)mU/L],the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.01).In the patients with cold nodule,the level of serum IGF-1,FT3,FT4,sTSH[(263.17±30.23)μg/L,(2.89±0.98),(14.23±2.84)ng/L,(2.81±0.42)mU/L] had no significant difference compared with the control group(P＞0.05).The level of serum IGF-1 was positively correlated with the 131Ⅰ absorbance of thyroid nodule(r＝0.835,P＜0.01),but negtively correlated with sTSH(r＝-0.326,P＜0.05)in the patients with warm nodule.Conclusion The level of sernm IGF-1 is closely correlated with the 131Ⅰ absorbance of thyroid nodule in patients with struma nadosa.

This study was aimed to establish an analytical method to determine spinosin, jujuboside A, jujuboside B and betulinic acid content of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen quickly and accurately. The UPLC determination of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen method was established on an HSS T3 Column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) eluted with the mobile phase consisted of water containing 0.03% phosphoric acid and acetonitrile in gradient mode with the flow rate of 0.5 mL?min-1 and the detection wavelength was set at 204 nm. The standard curves of spinosin, jujuboside A, jujuboside B, betulinic acid showed a good linearity in 29.70 - 594.0 μg?mL-1, 10.68 - 213.6 μg?mL-1, 6.175 - 123.5 μg?mL-1, 22.00 - 440.0 μg?mL-1, respectively. The mean recoveries (n = 9) of the four components were between 98 . 3% and 99 . 4%, RSD < 1 . 4%. This method which is quick and accurate can be used to determine spinosin, jujuboside A, jujuboside B and betulinic acid in Ziziphi Spinosae Semen.

Outpatient service constitutes a key part of hospital services.In an effort to optimize services plagued by the too long waiting time in registration,payment and drug dispensary,and the too short time in seeing doctors,Beijing Friendship Hospital introduced mobile Intemet technology into hospital outpatient services.Such measures as mobile payment,and realtime push of the information of patients waiting were adopted to help with outpatients waiting at home,minimize outpatients' movement,queuing and waiting.Simplified service process and higher service efficiency proved effective in winning higher outpatient satisfaction as a result.

Objective To investigate the effect of trastuzumab,a special blocker of epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) on proliferation and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) exposed to tumor conditioned medium(TCM).Methods HUVECs were cultured and exposed to TCM and trastuzumab was used as an intervention approach.Their proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were measured by MTT and flow cytometery(FCM).Intra-tumor microvessel density(MVD) and HER-2 expression were tested by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Results Following the stimulation of MDA-CM,HUVECs showed higher proliferating and anti-apoptotic ability(P
