Objective To compare the treatment effects of catheter directed thrombolysis and thrombetomy for acute ar?terial ischemia of the lower extremity. Methods Patients who visited Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from 2011 to 2013 and were attacked by acute ischemic disease of lower extremities within 3 days (n=66) were investigated. Thrombetomy and thrombolysis treatment had been performed to 32 cases and 34 cases respectively according to patients’ own willingness. Postoperative symptom remission rate, limb salvage rate, fatality rate, reperfusion injury rate (including re?nal inadequacy, heart failure, muscle fascia compartment syndrome), bleeding rate and limb dysfunction rate were compared between these two groups. Results There was no statistical difference on the rate of symptom remission (93.8% vs 94.1%), limb salvage(96.9%vs 100%), case fatality rate(3.1%vs 0), bleeding rate(0 vs 8.8%)and limb dysfunction rate (0 vs 5.9%)between these two groups. However, the incidence of reperfusion injury was higher in the group of thrombectomy (37.5%vs 2.9%, P<0.05)compared to that of the other group. Conclusion Similar effect of treatment and less reperfusion injury, especially renal injury, had been achieved by CDT compared with thrombetomy.

Objectives To establish a sensitive and special method for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) using PCR microplate hybridization (PCR MPH). Methods A primer of ureasea gene was labeled by biotin. The amplification product was captured on streptavidin coated microplates, then products were quantified by hybridization with a digoxigenin labeled internal oligonucleotide probe. After revelation with an anti digoxigenin alkaline phosphatase coupled antibody(anti DIG AP), the amount was determined by optical reading. At the same time, PCR MPH was compared with Bio Merieux Mycosplasma IST. Results A method of PCR MPH for detecting Uu DNA was established. The morbidity among three groups for detecting 158 clinical samples was analysed. 65 were detected by PCR MPH and 56 by culture.Conclusion The results showed that this assay is rapid, sensitive, specific, and accurate, and is of value in clinical therapy.

And the related technologies are making progress all the time. This article analyzes the development of related standard 、the structures 、security and other descriptions of Wireless Local Area Networks, paying attention to the uses of the technology in medical areas .

Objective To evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus helveticus fermented milk on blood pressure and heart rate was evaluated in 8w old spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Method Spontaneously hypertensive male rats were randomized into 5 groups(n=8) receiving fermented milk and its whey,water,skim milk and yogurt.Every sample was used to SHR on consecutive three days,during which they received increasing doses by ig.The systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured by ZH-HX-Z tail cuff with a programmed electro-sphygmomanometer.Results At 1.5 ml dose of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk and the 2 ml dose of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk whey,we observed the marked and long-lasting hypertensive effect for 4 and 6 h,respectively.The maximum decrease in mean arterial blood pressure(20.5 mmHg) was achieved.Feeding 1 ml whey of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk elicited significant decrease in heart rate(maximum of 50 bpm).Conclusion Significant reductions in mean systolic blood pressure,and heart rate were observed following intra-gastric administration of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk.

Objective:To develop a succinct and effective social support questionnaire for Chinese Farmers.Methods:Based on the studies of Vender Poel Mart et al and combined with the interview data of 53 farmers,a pro-questionnaire was developed;An item analysis was conducted with a sample of 800 farmers of Zhejiang province;CFA was used to test another sample of 807 farmers from Zhejiang and other provinces.Reliability and validity were also tested.Results:Then,9-item questionnaire was formed;EFA indicated that farmers' social support consisted of four factors,namely:instrumental support,company support,emotional support and the utilization degree of social support,which explained 79.23% of total variance;CFA showed the 4-factor model was well fitted;The Cronbaeh's ? of the questionnaire was 0.72 and the split-half coefficient was 0.64;The correlations between 4 factors were 0.10-0.30,and all factor-total correlations were over 0.50.Conclusion:The structure,reliability and validity of Chinese Farmers' Social Support Questionnaire meets the need of psychometrics.

Objective: To explore the influence of social support on Chinese farmers’ career choice consideration. Methods: Based on depth interviews and the pre-test on 419 farmers, a questionnaire of self-efficacy, choice consideration and social support related to occupations representing Holland's six RIASEC career types was developed. With a formal sample of 628 farmers, and by the structural equation modeling, the hypothetic models were constructed and tested. Results: Across most of the career types, there were significant paths between positive support and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and choice consideration, negative support and choice consideration; the goodness of fit of the final models were perfect. Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between positive support and choice consideration. Conclusion: The influence of social support on farmers' career consideration is ambilateral. Positive support has fully positive effect on choice consideration via self-efficacy, whereas negative support has direct negative effect on it.

OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein (Apo) E- ε 4 is the first identified important susceptible gene of late-onset family and sporadic Alzheimer disease. Apo E E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease, but their biological basis is unknown.To explain the relevant biological mechanism between ApoE and Alzheimer disease is still the key in next study.DATA SOURCE: Computer Medline database is used to search the relevant papers from January 1978 to January 1999, with the words of "develop", "ApoE" and "Alzheimer", limited in English version. Simultaneously, the relevant papers are looked up from China Journal Databasefrom January 1978 to December 2003, with the words of "ApoE, Alzheimer disease and development", limited in Chinese version.STUDY SELECTION: Preliminary examination is done to the data. Inclusive criteria: relevant papers on ApoE gene and Alzheimer disease, including the study of both animal experiment and clinical basic research.Exclusive criteria: repeated study, summarized and Meta analysis papers.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 55 relevant papers are collected, of which, 20 papers are included and 33 papers are excluded due to repeated experiment and summarized papers.DATA SYNTHESIS: Of 20 experiments, 16 experiments explain that ApoE E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease and 4 researches propose that ApoE- ε 4 is the susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease.CONCLUSION: It is viewed in majority at present that ApoE genotype determination cannot substitute any clinical and imaging diagnostic method, which is probably onlya kind of assistant diagnosis to improve the specialty in clinical diagnosis. Beingthe susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease, ApoE- ε 4 is the important discovery in its research no doubt, but,many relevant questions are still at experimental and hypothesis stages. In the future, the great consideration should be still drawn on ApoE genotype determination of Alzheimer disease.

There are a number of potassium channels on the cerebrovascular smooth muscle cell membrane, generally they are divided to 4 categories: voltage-gated potassium channels, calcium-activated potassium channels, inward rectifier potassium channels and ATP sensitive potassium channels. They can modulate cerebrovascular tone, so as to impact on cerebral blood flow to adapt to different situations of physiological pathology. The structure and function of potassium channels change after subarachnoid hemorrhage, These changes may be associated with the occurrence and development of cerebral vasospasm. The application of potassium channel opener may relax cerebrovascular smooth muscle and attenuate cerebral vasospasm.
