Objective:To explore and assess the clinical application and clinical value of dual helical CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of knee bone tumor. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with knee bone tumors were randomly divided into three groups: group A, group B and group C. Group A was detected by double-helical CT scanning; group B was detected by MRI; group C was detected by dual-helical CT scan combined with MRI. After the end of the testing, the clinical diagnostic results of the three detection methods were compared.Results: There was no significant difference between group A and B (x2=0.825,P>0.05). The detection rate of group C was higher than that of group A. The differences were statistically significant (x2=2.936,x2=3.718;P<0.05). The detection rate of group C was significantly higher than that of group B. The differences were statistically significant (x2=3.967,x2=4.285;P<0.05).Conclusion: Double helical CT combined with MRI can effectively improve the clinical detection rate of knee bone tumor.

OBJECTIVE To study drug-resistance status in nosocomial infection with Staphylococcus in the local region,and take effective measures to control the nosocomial infection.METHODS Totally 129 strains of Staphylococcus were clinically isolated from various specimens from Jan 2006 to Dec 2008.The strain identification,detection of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus(MRS) and K-B disk diffusion test were performed.The data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS Among all 129 strains consisting of 6 species of Staphylococcus,the isolating rate of S.aureus predominated with 39.5%.Among them,meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) accounted for 29.4%.Among all coagulase-negative Staphyloccocus(CNS),meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MRCNS) accounted for 32.1%.Meticillin-susceptible S.aureus(MSSA) showed significantly lower drug-resistance than MRS.CONCLUSIONS Nosocomial infection status caused by MRS is serious in the grass-roots hospitals.Effective measures should be taken to control it.

Objective Studying the clinical diagnostic value of liquid-based thin-layer cytology(TCT)combined colpoacopic examination for cervical lesions.Methods In May 2006～August 2007 choose the 1407 patients coming the hospital who was done cytology examination(TCT)and coiposcopy examination and biopsy.Results Among 281 cases of eolposcopy prompt biopsy 39.50% of them suffered from CIN Ⅰ.So did 42.63 % of 699 cases of TCT examinations.427 cases of TCT combined Colposcopy were prompted they need to do biopsy.86.42% of them suffered from CIN Ⅰ or above lesions.Conclusion TCT combination of colposcopy and endoscopic biopsy can increase the rate of accurate diagnosis of cervicallesions.

Expression levels of TGF-β1 mRNA in renal cortex of control group, diabetic group and taurine group measured by real-time quantitative RT-PCR were (7.0±0.8)×10 -3, (64.4±8.0)×10 -3 and (16.7±2.0)×10 -3, respectively. The corresponding results with end-point RT-PCR method were 0.28±0.12,0.58±0.16 and 0.43±0.10, respectively. Compared with end-point RT-PCR method, real-time quantitative with SYBR Green I was easier, faster, sensitive and specific.

Myoepithelioma is an uncommon benign tumor that most likely occurs in the salivary gland. Extra-salivary myoepithelioma are sporadic and rare, especially the quantities occur in the sinonasal cavity are fewer in related literature reported. In this paper, we present a rare case of benign myoepithelioma that occurred in the nasal cavity, and the related process of pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are discussed.

A 39 years old male patient was admitted with the right of facial abnormalities and gradually protruding in right eye more than 30 years. CT shows high mixed density, clear boundary, and the right eye was crowded to the right. Giant tumor had completely been excised, and the result was fine. The outline figure and function of patients were obviously improved. The pathological examination after resection showed ossifying fibroma.

AIM To establish the method for the enzyme assay of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) in rabbit kidney and to determine the optimal condition for the assaying. METHODS Five healthy Japanese rabbits weighing 3 0 to 3 5 Kg were killed by air embolism,kidneys were harvested and then were homogenized. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) was used as the substrate for DDAH. UV 265 spectrophotometer was applied to determine the amount of the enzymatic product L Citrulline( L Cit).The amount of L Cit produced under different conditions was compared and the optimal condition was screened. The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were calculated. RESULTS The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were as follows: K m=(0 28?0 10) mmol?L -1 , V m=(1 36?0 42) mmol?L -1 ?g -1 ?min -1 . The optimal conditions for the enzyme assay of DDAH in rabbit kidney determined in this study follow: The concentration of the enzyme protein was 12 g?L -1 ,the optimal pH of the buffer was 7 4,the final concentration of ADMA was 2 mmol?L -1 ,and the reaction time was 30 min. CONCLUSION The method offered here is easily done. The concentration of the substrate determined in this study was based on the value of Km,thus it was beneficial to the accurate assay of DDAH.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Safflower Yellow Injection(SYI)in treating coronary heart disease and angina pectoris(CHD-AP)with heart blood stagnation syndrome(HBSS).Methods A randomized,positive parallel contral and multi-center clinical trial was adopted.The SYI injection group was treated with SYI and Xiangdan injection group with Xiangdan injection by intravenous dripping for 2 weeks.Results The efficacy on angina pectoris,electrocardiogram,and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome in SYI injection group was superior to that in Xiangdan injection group,showing significant differences(P

Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience for patients with appendiceal carcinoid tumors.Methods 21 patients with appendix carcinoid tumors were admitted and received surgery from 1967 to 1997 in our hospital.Results 12 patients (57%) presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis.In 9 patients(43%) tumors were discovered incidentally.The tumors were at the tip in 17 patients,at the middle third in 3,and at the base of the appendix in one.The tumor was less than 1 cm in diameter in 16 patients,between 1 and 2 cm in 3 patients,and larger than 2 cm in 2 patients.Tumor invasion was confined to the submucosa or muscle layers in 15 patients,serosa involved in 4 patients,and into the meso appendicular fat in the remaining 2 patients.Twenty patients underwent appendectomy alone.One patient with a tumor size larger than 2 cm and positive lymph nodes in the mesoappendix underwent secondary right hemicolectomy.Complete follow up was achieved in 19 patients,and all patients remained free of tumor recurrence and metastasis.Conclusion Appendiceal carcinoids of less than 1 cm could be adequately managed by appendectomy alone.The appropriate treatment for tumors of 1 to 2 cm are still controversial.Right hemicolectomy is recommended for tumors larger than 2 cm .

Objective To investigate the clinical application of Cystatin C as a biological marker for monitoring hepatic pathological change in patients with virus hepatitis.Methods Two hundred and seven patients infected with hepatitis B or C virus(HBV, HCV)were divided into cirrhosis group(group A),chronic HBV group(group B),chronic HCV group(group C),and liver cancer group(group D). 32 healthy controls(group H) were recruited . The serum TIMP-1,TIMP-2,and Cystatin C as well as some traditional markers for monitoring liver function and renal function including creatinine, creatinine clearance rate, alanine transaminase, and aspartate transaminase were determined.Results In these groups, serum Cystatin C(F=28.334, P
