Transient ischemic attack (TIA) traditionally refers to temporary brain dysfunction lasting no longer than 24 hours due to a shortage of blood and oxygen, without any residual neurological deficit. In recent years, the development of imaging technology enables us to have a new awareness about TIA. This article reviews the effects of MRI, especially diffusion-weighted imaging, in the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of TIA.

According to the traditional point of view,CT and lumabar puncture are the main means in the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).The values of conventional MRI T1-weighted imaging(T1WI)and T2 weighted imaging(T2WI)are very little in the diagnosis of SAH.With the development of MRI technique and the research and application of novel MRI sequences,the value of MRI are gradually recognized and affirmed in the diagnosis of SAH.and has shown its superiority.MRI isn't inferior to CT in the diagnosis of acute SAH.evidently superior to CT in the diagnosis of subacute,chronic and atypical SAHs and superior to CT in the diagnosis of the complications of SAH.MRI is valuable in screening for intraeranial aneurysms and postoperative follow-up.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects in t he treatment of femoral peritrochan teric frac-tures by PFN(proximal femoral nail).Methods A retrospective analysis was done in the treatment of femoral peritrochanteric fractures(72cases).38cases were male and 44cases female.Their age ranged 64～96years old with the average age being 78years old.70cases were intertrochanteric f ractures(EvensⅠtype 16,Ⅱtype 31,ⅢA type 14,ⅢB type 6,Ⅳtype 3),and 2cases subtrochanteric fractu res.Results65patients were followed up for over 6months.All fractures healed and all patients could take care of themselves and were satisfied with t he clinical curative effect except one patient who had the lag screw pulled o ut and coxa vara because of serious os-teoporosis.Conclusion PFNis a better way to cure femoral peritrochanteric fractures because of few complications and simple surgical procedure.Bein g a micro-trauma technique,it is worthy of wide application in clinic.[

Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) refers to the stroke patients suffering from infectious lung parenchyma (including the alveolar wall,i.e.the general pulmonary interstitial) inflammation without previous pulmonary infection.It is one of the most common major complications resulting in death and affecting functional recovery in patients with stroke.Dysphagia resulting in aspiration is the main reason of SAP.Therefore,avoiding aspiration and preventing SAP have important significance for patients with stroke through early correct tube feeding.This article reviews the tube feeding methods of preventing SAP.

500 mg,frequency was reduced in rats treated with tamsulosin (P500 mg,and the combined ?1a/?1dAR antagonist tamsulosin reduces urinary frequency more than the ?1aAR selective antagonist 5MU.This finding supports the hypothesis that the ?1dAR is important in mediating irritative symptoms.

Ischemic stroke is closely associated with carotid atherosclerosis.Detecting carotid plaque components (including fibrous Cap,lipid core,hemorrhage,and calcification) using high-resolution 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging contributes to evaluate the risk of ischemic stroke and guide treatment.This article reviews the research status of magnetic resonance imaging of carotid atherosclerotic plaque components.

The expression of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoproteins were investigated by immunohistochemical technique using monoclonal antibodies to c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoproteins in 43 cases of hasal cell carcinoma (BCC) and 26 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The results showed that: ① The expression of c-erbB-1 oncoprotein in BCC increased; the expression of c-erbB-2 oncoprotein in BCC reduced significantly, and lost in 16 cases (16/43). ② The intensities of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoprorein expression had negative and positive correlations to the degrees of SCC differentiation respectively. It is suggested that the abnormal expression of c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein in BCC and SCC may play a role in the development of skin tumors.

Objectives:To observe the effects of Dantrium and nimodipine on myocardial function in severely burned rabbits. Methods: Full thickness scald burn covering 30% TBSA was produced on rabbits. LVSP, ?dp/dt max ,BPs, BPd, BPm were recorded through a MPA Ⅳ Biological Signal Analysis System before and after burn constantly. All burn animals were resuscitated with lactate Ringer's solution according to the Parkland formula. Dantrium and nimodipine were administered respectively. Results: The myocardial contractility and relaxation were depressed after burn trauma, with a short phase of enhancement immediately after scalding. LVSP,?dp/dt max , BPs and BPm were increased after intravenous injection of Dantrium. The effect of nimodipine was not same as Dantrium. LVSP,?dp/dt max ,were enhanced after infusing nimodipine slowly. Conclusions: The rabbits myocardial function was depressed after severely burn. Dantrium and nimodipine could both improve the myocardial function. Dantrium ○R was suitable for treating the animal with burn shock and myocardial malfunction.

Objective To analyze the results and complications of the treatment of intra articular calcaneal fractures with internal plate fixation. Methods From January 1998 to October 2004, 31 patients with calcaneal fracture (36 calcanea) were treated in our hospital. According to Sanders classification, there were 2 type Ⅱ,22 type Ⅲ,and 12 type Ⅳ. They were treated with reconstruction of the joint surface, internal fixation with screw and plate through the extensile lateral approach, and bone graft. The preoperative and postoperative data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 10.0. Results Follow ups lasted from 6 to 33 months with an average of 25 months. All the fractures healed 3 months after operation. On average, Bhlers angle was improved from preoperative 13.2?to postoperative 38.5?, Gissanes angle from 75?to 115.5?, and step distance from 5.0mm to 0.3mm. The differences between the preoperative and postoperative data were statistically significant(P
