Objective To assess the clinical significance of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase in RA patients. Methods The level of serum GPI in 100 patients with RA, 98 patients with other rheumatic diseases and 108 normal controls were assessed by sandwich ELISA methods. The level of RF, CRP, anti-CCP antibodies were also assessed in RA patients. Results The level of GPI was higher in RA patients [(2.4?5.0) ?g/ml] than that of normal control group [(0.12?0.14) ?g/ml (P

This study was aimed to isolate and characterize of chemical constituents in a traditional Mongolian medicine HERBA CLEMATIS. Normal and reverse phase coloumn chromatography, gel filtration chromatography sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC were used for isolation and purification compounds from the water extraction of the arial part ofC. aethusaefoliaTurcz. The planar structures and spatial configurations of isolated compounds were identified by high resolution MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and other spectrographic methods. The chemical research on the Mongolian medicine results 6 compounds, dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (1), syringaresinol (2), pinoresinol (3), epi-pinoresinol (4), lirioresinol B dimethyl ether (5) and loliolide (6). All the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,minimal invasive operation technique and perioperative management of lateral ventrieular tumors.Methods The clinical characteristics,image diagnosis,surgical approaches and postoperative management and surgical outcomes of 65 consecutive cases of lateral ventricular tumors were retrospectively analyzed.Results In our series,total resection was achieved in 54 cases,and subtotal resection was achieved in 11 cases.Lateral ventricular tumors were mostly found in male and in the left side.Headache caused by increased intracranial pressure was the most common clinical symptom.Ependymocytoma and astrocytic glioma are the most common pathologic diagnosis.Postoperative complications included fever (26 cases),hydrocephalus (9 cases),intraventricular hematoma (7 cases) of which 2 cases were evacuated by craniotomy,epilepsy (7 cases),wound infection (3 cases).Postoperative death was happened in 3 cases.Two of them died of respiratory failure due to postoperative epilepsy.Conclusion Early discovery of lateral ventricle tumors,meticulous operation,subtle micromanipulation and right postoperative treatment are the criticality to improve the rate of total resection of lateral ventricle tumors through microsurgical treatment and reduce postoperative complications and mortality.

Objective To understand the prevalence and distribution characteristics of symptoms of anorectal diseases in Chinese residents(older than 18) as to provide reference for prevention,care and treatment of anorectal diseases.Methods Stratified sampling was used according to the economic level in every province in the country,and each province selected two cities.Face-toface interviews were used to collect data in 68 906 interviewers and SPSS 17.0 was performed to analyze the data.Results Of 68 906 respondents,25 634 (37.20 ％) reported to suffer from at least one symptoms of anorectal diseases.The prevalence of the top 5 main symptoms of anorectal diseases were prolapse of anus neoplasms(14.55％),anal sore(16.53％),anal pendant expansion (14.98 ％),perianal abscess (5.88 ％),hematochezia (22.52 ％).Each symptom frequency difference was statistically significant (x2=7 727.6,P＜0.001).Populations which proned to suffer from symptoms of anorectal disease had the following characteristics:living in city,male,ageing 25-54 years old,having specialist qualifications,lacking of physical.Conclusion The prevalence of symptoms of anorectal diseases among Chinese residents was high,and each symptom had its distribution characteristics.More targeted interventions should be taken in anorectal disease prone people.

Objective To continue to study if there is any other pathogenic gene expression related to Th1/Th2 abnormal differentiation,based on the author′s previous results,which have shown that Th1/Th2 unbalance is due to the cytokines and cytokine receptors of differentiation.Methods TaqMan Real time PCR was used to detect the gene expression of Th1/Th2 control in recent onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients ( n =38).The genes include I?B,IRF 1,STAT4,GATA3,IL 4R and the others such as CCR1,CCR2,CCR4,CCR5,caepase 1 and CD38,which participate in inflammation,cell apoptosis and so on.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients ( n =50) and normal people ( n =28) were control groups.Results ① Resent onset SLE patients comparing to normal people:STAT4 expression in IL 2/IL 12R ? 2/STAT4 access which induced Th1 differentiation increased significantly ( P 0 05) ;GATA3 expression which induced Th2 differentiation in IL 4/IL 4R/GATA3 access decreased significantly ( P

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Gao's nape acupuncture plus swallowing training in treating pharyngeal deglutition disorder after stroke.Methods:One hundred patients with post-stroke pharyngeal deglutition disorder were randomized into a treatment group and a control group,with 50 cases in each group.The two groups both received routine neurological intervention.In addition,the treatment group was given Gao's nape acupuncture plus swallowing training,while the control group was intervened by swallowing training alone.After eight-week treatment,the two groups were observed in terms of the changes in repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST),modified water swallowing test (MWST),standardized swallowing assessment (SSA) and swallowing-related quality of life (SWAL-QOL).The clinical efficacies of the two groups were also compared.Results:After treatment,the RSST grading,and scores of MWST,SSA and SWAL-QOL changed significantly in both groups (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The RSST grading,and scores of MWST,SSA and SWAL-QOL in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after treatment (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The total effective rate and markedly effective rate were respectively 100.0％ and 72.3％ in the treatment group,versus 97.9％ and 34.0％ in the control group.There was a significant difference in the markedly effective rate between the two groups (P＜0.01).The difference in the clinical efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Conclusion:Gao's nape acupuncture plus swallowing training is an effective approach for post-stroke pharyngeal deglutition disorder.Its therapeutic efficacy is more significant than that of swallowing training alone.
