Naoxing oral preparation has ho formed to be effective for ischemic stroke by preliminary clin-ical trial. To find a safe, efficient and convenient preparation Naoxing nasal spray was developed. Theeffect of Naoxing nasal spray on increasing hypoxic toleance of brain cells and improving blood circulationwas confirmed in this experiment. Twenty-eight guinea Pigs were randomly allocated to 4 groups: Group A(Naoxing nasal spray),Group B (ninodipine injection intraperitoneally), GrouP C (ligushazine injectionintrqperitoneally) and Group D(distilled water for nasal spray). After the medication for 4 days, acutecerebral ischemia was produced by the occlusion of bilatelal caretid arteries for 45 minutes. Serum NO lev-el,superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione superoxidase (GSH--Px) and lipid peroxide (LPO) levelsin cerebral tissue were detected. Ultrastructure of right hippocampus was oberved.The results showedthat NO, SOD, GSH-Px level in Group A is significantly higher and LPO level is significantly lower thanthere in Group D(P0.05).The damage of neuron, gliocyte and capillary under electron microscope was less thanGroup D,the differences being not significant as compared with Group B and C. It is concluded that theeffect of Naoxing nasal splay is as ed as ninodipine and ligustazine injection.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of different polishing instruments on the microstructure of composite resin.Methods:Specimens of 5 kinds of resins were randomly divided into three groups and were polished with Astropol(group A),Sof-Lex(group B) and Super-snap(group C)respectively(n=3 for each resin).Specimens of natural enamel surface were used as the controls(group D).The surface roughness(Ra)and microstructure of the specimens were evaluated by an atomic force microscope(AFM).Results:Ra value in group A was lower than that in group B(P=0.015);Z350 XT resin obtained the lowest Ra value among the 5 kinds of resin specimens(P<0.05).All of the resin specimens had similar average Ra after polishing procedure(P>0.05).Conclusion:Astropol polishing instrument is better than Sof-Lex;Z350 XT has better polish performance.The three polishing instruments are ef-fective in polishing the 5 composite resins.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of health education intervention on promoting rural residents to join new rural cooperative medical system(NCMS)and their intention of joining NCMS based on Health Belief Model in project areas in Henan and Jilin Provinces.Methods:Quasi-experiment study was used to evaluate intervention impact.Following the evidence-based approach,according to needs assessment,a half-year health education intervention was implemented among farmers in the experimental counties in Henan and Jilin Provinces respectively.A questionnaire survey was conducted among farmers in intervention and control counties before and after intervention,and intervention impact was evaluated by comparing the indicators' changes in intervention and control counties.Results:After health education intervention,the knowledge level of farmers in two intervention counties increased by 29.0% and 37.8% respectively,their scores of perceived threatens of health risk and perceived barriers of joining NCMS among the respondents were decreased.Meanwhile,their score of perceived benefit of joining NCMS were increased,and the rate of willingness to join NCMS increased remarkably in both intervention counties.Conclusion:Health education was effective and helpful in increasing farmer's knowledge,understanding and cognitive level of NCMS,and it should play an important role for the sustainable development of NCMS.

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value of ATP bioluminescence tumor chemosensitivity assay (ATP-TCA) for recurrent and refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) specimens in vitro.Methods Thirty-four freshlytaken recurrent andrefractoryNHL specimens weretestedin vitro for cancer chemosensitivity by ATP-TCA.ResultsDrug sensitivity of NHL specimens had heterogeneity.Different drugs had different tumor growth inhibition ratio in vitro.Response rate (RR) of the patients receiving chemotherapy according to in vitro assay was 82.4 ％ (28/34),complete response rate (CR) was 52.9 ％ (18/34).In DICE group RR was 60.0 ％ (18/30),CR rate was 33.3 ％ (10/30).In GDP group RR was 62.3 ％ (33/53),CR rate was 26.4 ％ (14/53).In ATP-TCA group RR was significantly higher than those in DICE and GDP groups (x2 =3.93,P =0.047; x2 =3.98,P =0.046).ConclusionThe results of ATP-TCA assay are correlated well with clinical treatment responses.The assay may be an important and useful method for individual-based chemotherapy of cancers.

Objective To investigate the minimum local analgesic concentration(MLAC)of epidural hydromorphone combined with bupivacaine for analgesia during the first stage of labor by establishing clinical model.Methods Sixty four labouring parturi-ents at 3-7 cm cervical dilation who requested epidural analgesia were allocated to one of two groups.After a lumbar epidural cath-eter was placed,study participants received 15 mL bupivacaine(n=30),bupivacaine with hydromorphone 200 μg(n=30).The con-centration of bupivacaine was determined by the response of the previous patient using 0 - 100 mm visual analog pain scores, with≤30 mm within 30 min defined as effective.Results Four women were excluded,leaving 30 patients in each of the two groups for analysis.The MLAC of bupivacaine alone was 0.103%(95% CI :0.094%-0.113%).The addition of hydromorphone at doses of 200 μg resulted in significant reduction(P <0.05)in the MLAC of bupivacaine to 0.044%(95% CI :0.034%-0.053%),the difference was significant (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in Bromage scores,HR,BP,FHR,UC and adverse reac-tion (P >0.05).Conclusion The study showed a significant reduction in the MLAC of bupivacaine by hydromorphone.Hydromor-phone could be safely used in epidural analgesia for labor.

Objective:To expose the vulnerability of HIV/AIDS infection among youth out of schools in a holistic view through understanding lifestyle,peer relations,awareness of HIV/AIDS,and HIV/AIDS prevention service of the youth.Methods:A cross-sectional survey based on the collective random sampling was conducted among 584 youth out of schools with or without a job in Anshan City,Liaoning Province in October 2005.Results:The awareness rate of HIV/AIDS among youth out of schools was 58.9%,and 65.6% of the subjects never accepted any health service related to HIV/AIDS prevention.42.6% of the respondents had sexual experience,and the rate of having sexual experience among males(62.3%)was higher than that of females(37.7%).And 30.5% of the youth seldom or never used a condom,51.2% of the youth having sex didn't use a condom in his/her last sex.28.2% of the youth having sex were ever involved in commercial sex relations.22 of the respondents(3.8%)had the experience of drug substance,the rate of having sex experience among youth who used the substance was higher than that of the youth who never used the substance.Smoking,alcohol abusing,visiting recreation places,high month consumption were the risk factors of pre-marital sex,and high awareness of HIV/AIDS was the protective factor of pre-marital sex.Conclusion:The youth out of schools were vulnerable in sexual behavior,substance use,peer influencing,social environment,and HIV/AIDS prevention service in terms of HIV/AIDS infection.

Objective To investigate the combination of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) in the assessment of the hemodynamic changes of vertebral artery occlusion disease and their clinical value. Methods A total of 101 patients with vertebral artery occlusion detected by the combination of CDFI and TCD and confirmed by DSA were enrolled from January 2005 to January 2009. Taking the result of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a golden standard, The differences between the different types of the side of vertebral artery occlusion and contralateral vertebral artery on the extra- and intracranial segments were compared and analyzed in peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive indices (RI), pulsatility index (PI), spectrum morphology, and hemodynamics. Results No blood flow signals were detected by CDFI and TCD in patients of complete occlusion of the vertebral artery; the weak blood flow signals were detected by CDFI in patients of the occlusion in the intracranial segment of the vertebral artery. 3he blood flow signals after the establishment of collateral circulation in patients of the segmental occlusion were detected in the extraeranial segment or intraeranial segment of the vertebral artery. The PSV on the occluded sides of the extraeranial segments were decreased more significantly than that on the unoccluded sides (27.39 ± 12.44 cm/s vs. 62.61 ± 13.22 cm/s, P = 0.000); RI was significantly higher than the unoccluded sides (0. 99 ± 0. 21 vs. 0. 62 ± 0.07, P = 0. 000). When a vertebral artery had the segmental occlusion and the collateral circulation was established, the PSV, EDV, and PI of the intracranial segment of the vertebral artery on the occluded sides were decreased more significantly than those on the unoccluded sides, PSV were 37. 81 ± 12.28 cm/s and 73.17±30. 99 cm/s, respectively (P =0. 000), EDV were 17.58 ± 7.10 cm/s and 29.31 ± 12.94 cm/s, respectively (P = 0. 000), PI were 0.84 ± 0.22 and 1.01 ±0. 18, respectively (P=0. 000). The compard DSA showed that the sites of vertebral artery occlusion were different, There was significant difference in the Doppler flow velocity spectrum between the CDFI and TCD. Conclusions PSV, EDV, RI, and PI are the hemodynamic parameters of accurately assessing vertebral artery occlusion, and the combination of CDFI and TCD has significant value for the hemodynamie changes of different types of vertebral artery occlusion and the clinical comprehensive assessment.

"Mistreatment by warming therapy" refers to various symptoms/syndromes caused by improper use of fire methods mentioned in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which are similar to damaged yin induced fire-heat syndrome (injury of yin, consumption of qi, loss of yin, consumption of body fluid) manifested after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in modern clinics. Better efficacy was obtained in treating various symptoms/syndromes by using nourishing yin purging fire method. In this paper authors focuses on exploring guiding significance of using "Mistreatment by warming therapy" in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
