Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a frequent congenital heart disease .Incidence rate of PDA accounts for 10% ~21% of total incidence rate of congenital heart disease .In recent years ,along with the continuous deepening understanding of anatomical structure and pathology of PDA ,there were a variety of treatment methods ,including drug therapy ,interventional therapy and operation .The present article made a review about indications ,contraindi‐cations ,advantages and disadvantages of above three treatments .

Objective To discuss pathogenesis of low back pain induced by chronic compartment syndrome. Method Thirty patients who had definite chronic lumboscaral compartment syndrome without other lumbal diseases were choosed respectively to test muscle force of lumbar and abdomen,intra-sacrospinal muscle pressure,blood routine,ESR,CK,CK-MM,LDH and LDHs.All patients received decompressive operation.Skeletal muscle specimens taken from sacrospinal muscle in each operation were possessed for histological and ultrastructuml observation. Result All of enzyme tests were normal.The author could observe the dissolved degeneration of part of sacrospinal muscle fibers,muscle fiber hypertrophy,and a small quantity of inflammatory cell infiltration with a light microscope.Focal solution of muscle fiber,the aggregation of mitochondria around the nucleus,the increase of lipid droplet and lysosome in cyte,and the proliferation and differentiation of muscle satellite cell could be observed with an electron microscope. Conclusion Pathogenesis of chronic lumboscaral compartment syndrome may be as followed.Intra-compartmental pressures increase,causing metabolism disturbance of the tissues under fascia compartment,damaging skeletal muscle chronically,then inflammatory factors are released,which stimulates posterior branch of spinal nerves,and finally induces low back pain.

Objective: To study the pharmacodynamic differences between Simiao Pills with crude Atractylodis Rhizoma and bran stir-baked Atractylodis Rhizoma on the treatment of adjuvant arthritis. Methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group (normal saline), model control group (normal saline), Tripterygium wilfordii glycosides (TWG) group (9.45 mg/kg), low-and high-dose (1.080 and 4.320 g/kg) Simiao Pills (crude Atractylodis Rhizoma) group, low-and high-dose (1.080 and 4.320 g/kg) Simiao Pills (stir-baked Atractylodis Rhizoma with bran) group. Except the blank control group, the other groups were modeled to adjuvant arthritis with complete Freund's. Paw edema value, spleen and thoracic gland indexes, serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and nitric oxide (NO) were observed. Results: Both Simiao Pills with crude Atractylodis Rhizoma and bran stir-baked Atractylodis Rhizoma could inhibit paw edema, decrease spleen index, advance the thoracic gland index, and decrease IL-1β and NO. The Simiao Pills with crude Atractylodis Rhizoma showed better effects. Conclusion: Both Simiao Pills with crude Atractylodis Rhizoma and bran stir-baked Atractylodis Rhizoma show a certain therapeutic effect on adjuvant arthritis, but the crude Atractylodis Rhizoma is in favor of the efficacy of Simiao Pills.

Objective To make clear the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of MMP-1 and implant early failure.Methods We conducted a case control study,53 cases patients (no smoking history and without periodontitis) who have underwent dental implant were divided into experimental group(with dental implant failure) and control group(with dental implant success) according to early failure of dental implant (within one month).DNA of 53 patients in Han nationality were extracted by using Chelex-100 method and polymorphisms of the mmp-1-1607 gene were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism after polymerase chain reactions.Results Patients with MMP-1-1607(1G/2G) genotype exhibited a significantly higher occurrence of implant early failure than those with MMP-1-1607(1G/1G) gene type(P＜0.05).The OR of the 1G/2G versus the 1G/1G of the MMP-1-1607 genotype was 13.894(P＜0.05).Conclusion MMP-1-1607(1G/2G) genotype is associated with implant early failure.

Osteoporosis complicated with fracture is a common and severe condition. This paper summarizes present advances and new concepts in its treatment. Since the secondary osteoporosis will likely develop after fracture treatment with immobilization, more and more bone mass will get lost in addition to primary osteoporosis. A vicious cycle will be established and influence the fracture healing. Therefore, the key to the treatment is to block the vicious cycle to stop or decrease the bone loss. As a routine measure, to do exercises and weight- bearing activities as early as possible is as important as to take medicines for osteoporosis treatment. Stable internal fixation and prosthetic replacement should be firstly chosen for treatment of most fractures. In drug treatment, calcitonin, bisphosphonate (alendronate), HRT (Livial), vitamins D2 and D3, and calcium are indicated.

The research of bone tissue engineering provides new thought and method to repair mass bone defect. Neovascularization plays a significant role in bone repair. This article reviews the advancements of the growth factors, seed cells and scaffolds in vascularization of tissue engineering bone, then raise the problems to solve and the prospect of future research.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease with various etiologic factors.Asthma is believed as a result of interaction between gene variation and environmental factors.Asthma increased rapidly worldwide in recent 40 years, air pollutants are believed to be the important triggers, crossover design and multi-pollutant models were used in the further studies.Although some efforts had been made in the mechanism of asthma triggers, they were limited to the lab studies.Studies in asthma related SNP and its interaction with air pollutants will be a revised method in mechanism researches.Based on epidemiological studies, in vivo and in vitro studies, the biological effects and mechanisms of air pollutants on asthma were discussed and evaluated in this paper.

Objective To observe clinical effect of mazoplasia treated by chinese and western medicine combined by acupuncture point therapy .Methods The 178 patients were divided into two groups ,one of which was the treatment group treated by oral pro-prietary Chinese medicine in combination with special Chinese and western medicine and post hole therapy ,the other was control group only treated by oral proprietary Chinese medicine .Results The cure rate ,effective rate and recurrence reducing rate of treat-ment group were better than that of control group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion According to the principle of traditional medical treat-ment based on syndrome differentiation ,the new therapy of this article mix together medicine ,acupuncture and western medicine treatment for the treatment of mazoplasia and gains good achievement .The method is simple with an obvious effect and has good clinical application value in the future .

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) compared with TCAE alone in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) by meta-analysis.Methods Databases of Pubmed, CNKI,Wangfang and VIP were searched electronically, and the randomized controlled trials about disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC were included.Meta-analyses were conducted after the quality of the included studies was assessed.Results Seven eligible studies that included a total of 562 HCC patients were identified in the present meta-analysis.The combined results showed that disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE in the treatment of HCC, compared with TACE alone, could increase effective rate ( RR =1.31, 95%CI 1.10-1.56) and clinical benefit rate (RR =1.20, 95%CI 1.04 -1.39), improve the life quality (RR =1.60, 95%CI 1.26 -2.03) and improved the 1, 2 year survival (RR =1.57 with 95%CI 1.28 -1.93 and RR =2.08 with 95%CI 1.46 -2.97, respectively).Conclusion Meta-analysis indicates that the efficacy of disodium cantharidinate injection combined with TACE is superior to TACE alone for the patients with HCC.
