With the rapid development of modem medical imaging technology,imaging examination especially CT and MRI plays an increasingly important role in the quantitative analysis of ophthalmic diseases,including the measurement of orbital volume with CT, the morphological changes of extraocular muscles in different eye positions,changes of oxygen pressure of the retina and the breakdown of blood-retinal barrier,the quantitative analysis of fiber bundles of visual pathway and so on.In this paper,a brief review was made about the application of imaging measurement with CT and MRI in ophthalmic diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the adjustment of patients'medication psychology in clinical pharmaceutical care.METHODS:Various factors that influence patients'medication psychology and the effects resulted from patients'medication psychology were analyzed.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Patients'psychological effects influence the physiological effects of medicine,thus greatly influencing drug action,therefore,pharmacists'knowledge on pharmacopsychology should be strength?ened and their communication ability with patients should be improved.Furthermore,pharmacists should adjust patients'medication psychology timely to satisfy their basic psychological needs for medication.

Objective To investigate the influence of carbon monoxide(CO) on the content of atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in ventricular tissues of rats.Methods The left and right ventricular tissues of 12 Wistar rats were divided into control group(n=12) and hemin group(n=12,the final concentration of hemin was 10~(-4) mol/L),respectively.The ventricular tissues were successly incubated in(37 ℃) thermostatic waterbath with Krebs solution as supernatant for 4 hours.After incubation of the ventricular tissues,radio-immunity method was applied to determine the content of ANP in the supernatant.Results Compared with the content of ANP in the supernatant in control group,it was significantly decreased both in left [(9.72?3.59) vs(52.05?31.65) ng/(g?wet tissue),P

BACKGROUND:Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of lumbago in clinic, which seriously affect the patient's daily life, study and work. Therefore, studies on biomechanics of lumbar intervertebral disk benefit to prevent and treat the diseases associated with lumbar intervertebral disk. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the biomechanical progress of lumbar intervertebral disk. METHODS: The first author retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed database for literatures published from 2009 to 2014. The key words were intervertebral disc, nucleus pulposus, biomechanics, fibrosis annulus, cartilage in Chinese and English, respectively. Articles regarding biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk, nucleus pulposus, fibrosis annulus and cartilage were included, and repetitive studies were excluded. Totaly 5 072 articles were retrieved initialy. In accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We can fuly understand the pathogenesis, development and adverse consequences of diseases related to the lumbar intervertebral disk by summarizing the structural features and internal pressure of lumbar intervertebral disk and the effect of different loads, biomechanical characteristics of lumbar intervertebral disk with degenerative changes and establishment of mechanical model of lumbar intervertebral disk. It is of directive significance for daily health care of the lumbar intervertebral disk and how to better use force, a physical factor, to solve the lumbar intervertebral disk problems.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the continuation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following transportation to the emergency department in a Chinese hospital after unsuccessful emergency medical services (EMS) CPR. Methods From January 2002 to December 2007, emergency records of non-traumatic patients who were transported to a tertiary teaching hospital after unsuccessful EMS CPR were reviewed. Results Eigty-five patients were included, and 13 patients (15%) accomplished restoration of spontaneous circulation in our emergency department. Resuscitative possibility reached zero at around 23 minutes. One patient was discharged with a favourable neurologic outcome. Conclusions This study shows that the continuation of CPR is not futile and may improve outcomes. The outcomes should be re-evaluatad in the future when prehospital information can be combined with in-hospital information.

Background and purpose:To investigate the clinico- pathological characteristics, prognosis and diagnosis of primary renal sarcoma that is a rare, highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis and survival. Methods:9 cases of renal sarcoma in our hospital were reviewed and analyzed. Nephrectomy was the main treatment for the patients. All the specimens were stained with histochemicial and immunohistochemical method, correlated literatures were also reviewed.Results:The distributions of pathology were malignant fibrous histiocytoma leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, myxosarcoma synoviosarcoma. Immunohistiochemical test was essential for the diagnosis of renal sarcoma.Conclusions:Pain and palpable mass were the common symptoms. Early radical surgery remains the optimal treatment, the role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment modalities of the disease is still controversial.

Research on post-marketing Chinese medicine should be the systematic study from application to mechanism. Clinical evaluation is the basis of mechanism study, we can find the clue from clinical evaluation, then make a mechanism study to find the reason, then apply the results to clinic. So it is a virtuous circle. In order to achieve it, we cannot be limited to traditional Chinese medicine, we should form multi-disciplinary team under the direction of grand science thinking, try hard to put industry-university-research institute collaboration association to use, and if necessary, explore the new model of the whole nation system. An appropriate operation mechanism is very important.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy on hemiplegic spasticity after cerebral infarction treated with plum blossom needle tapping therapy at the key points and Bobath therapy.

METHODSEighty patients were collected, in compliance with the inclusive criteria of hemiplegic spasticity after cerebral infarction, and randomized into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each one. In the control group, Bobath manipulation therapy was adopted to relieve spasticity and the treatment of 8 weeks was required. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group, the tapping therapy with plum blossom needle was applied to the key points, named Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (LI 14), Jianzhen (SI 9), Hegu (LI 4), Chengfu (BL 36), Zusanli (ST 36), Xiyangguan (GB 33), etc. The treatment was given for 15 min each time, once a day. Before treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and Barthel index (BI) were adopted to evaluate the motor function of the extremity and the activity of daily life in the patients of the two groups separately. The modified Ashworth scale was used to evaluate the effect of anti-spasticity.

RESULTSIn 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, FMA: scores and BI scores were all significantly increased as compared with those before treatment in the two groups: (both P<0. 05). The results in 8 weeks of treatment in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (all P<0. 05). In 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the scores of spasticity state were improved as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0. 05). The result in 8 weeks of treatment in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0. 05). In 8 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of anti-spasticity was 90. 0% (36/40) in the observation group, better than 75. 0% (30/40) in the control group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe tapping therapy with plum blossom needle at the key points combined with Bobath therapy effectively relieves hemiplegic spasticity in the patients of cerebral infarction and improves the motor function of extremity and the activity of daily life.
