This paper reports the perioperative care of a patient undergoing the bilateral posterior ventral globus pallidus deep brain stimulation treatment for neuroacanthocytosis. The nursing points mainly included psychological care of the patient before surgery,preoperative preparation,postoperative care and special nursing before and after deep brain stimulation opening. The patient's dance-like involuntary movements and compulsive behavior reduced significantly after the treatment with no complications.

Objective:Our aim is to investigate the relationship of VEGF-C,VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis in pancreatic cancer,and to elucidate the role and significance of the cancerous peripheral lymphatic tissue.Methods: The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D was assayed by means of immunohistochemistry in 30 pancreatic carcinomas.Results:The positive rates of VEGF-C、VEGF-D were 73% (22/30)、57% (17/30) respectively in pancreatic cancer.The expression of VEGF-C、 VEGF-D in cancerous invasive edge was significantly higher than that in the center of cancerous tissues.There was no correlation between the expression of VEGF-C、VEGF-Dand the site,differentiation,histology types.Ⅲ~Ⅳ stages of pancreatic cancer showed strong expressions of VEGF-C、VEGF-D than that Ⅰ~Ⅱ stages of pancreatic cancer.The positive lymph node in positive VEGF-C and VEGF-D group were higher than that in the negative group.Conclusion:VEGF-C and VEGF-D induced lymphangiogenisis in pancreatic cancer,promoted the tumor cell lymph metastasis.

AIM: To study the quality standard of Compound Shencha Granuls (Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, Radix Rehmanniae, etc.). METHODS: Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae and Rhizoma et Radix Polygoni Cuspidati in Compound Shencha Granule were distinguished by TLC. Ursolic acid was determinated by TLCS. RESULTS: The methods of TLC to distinguish Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae and Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati were feasible without negative inference. Ursolic acid content in three groups of samples was 1.24 - 1.58 mg?g -1 . CONCLUSION: The method is accurate and reproducible. It can be used for the quality control of Compound Shencha Granule.

The diversity in Tibetan kefir grains and dynamics of the microbial community during the fermentation of Tibetan kefir by PCR-DGGE fingerprinting technique were studied.The results showed that bacterial community of Tibetan kefir grains was more complex than that of yeast.The bacteria communities between different Tibetan kefir grains showed 78%～84% similarity, and yeast 80%～92%.Bands B, E and N of DGGE profiles of the microbial community during fermentation of Tibetan kefir were present throughout the fermentation.Analysis of sequence date showed the majority of the DGGE bands of bacteria community corresponded to LAB, and the most intense band (band E) was completely homology to Lactococcus lactis.

We present an unusual case of an unstable pelvic fracture during pregnancy period, who suffered fetal death and splenic rupture simultaneously which developed massive delayed hemorrhage in abdomen. When considering potential causes of fetal death, direct trauma to the uterus, placenta, or fetus was not associated with a higher fetal mortality rate, compared with maternal hemorrhage. A cesarean section and splenectomy could rescue the maternal life from the hemorrhage situation. Successful treatment of these rare cases is possible with careful pre-, peri-, and post-operative evaluation of the mother and fetus by a multidisciplinary team.

BACKGROUND: The minimal latency and conduction velocity of F-wave have been widely used for the detection of varied neurological disorders,whereas the significance and the diagnostic value for the other parameters of F wave are seldom reported. How sensitive are these parameters in the earlier evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) ?OBJECTIVE: To investigate the evaluating value of F-wave parameters for the earlier DPN, providing references for earlier clinical rehabilitative intervention.DESIGN: Case-control study with type 2 diabetic patients and health people as subjects.SETTING: The wards and outpatients in the Departments of Neurology and Endocrinology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.PARTICIPANTS: Between January 1999 and December 2000, there were totally 106 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus(DM) at the wards and outpatients in the department of neurology and endocrinology in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, including 64 males and 42 females, with the average age of (55 ± 13) years and the average DM course of (10.2 ± 4. 8)years. Meanwhile, 75 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the control group,including 45 males and 30 females, with the mean age of(54 ± 12) years.Two groups were matched in age and leg length( P ＞ 0. 05).INTERVENTIONS: Using Nicolet Viking-Ⅳ, F wave and M-wave parameters of tibial nerve stimulation were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The minimum latency (Fmin), duration (Fdur), amplitude(Famp) and area(Farca) of F wave; and the amplitude (Mamp)and aera(Marea) of M-wave.neuropathy( n = 30), there were 8 cases(the abnormal rate being 27% ) with increased Fdur, 4(13% ) with prolonged Fmin and 2(7% ) with increased F/Mamp and F/Marea increased significantly in the patients with DPN( n = 76).mality rate of Fdur was significantly higher (96% vs 21%, P ＜0.01), the abnormality rate of Fmin was significantly lower(51% vs 76%, P ＜ 0.05 ) and there were no significant difference of other parameters( P ＞ 0.05) in the patients with mild DPN subgroup ( n = 47).diagnostic parameter for earlier DPN, and therefore detect the sub-clinical DPN, and the proximal may be earlier involved than the distal.

As important Internet users, college students need to establish good cyber ethics to promote healthy development of the Internet and meet the needs of their own growth. The characteristics of college students' cyber ethics include hierarchy, self-discipline, orientation and particularity. Self-respect and respect for others;hon-est and trustworthy;fair and mutual benefit;attention to public welfare and participation;patriotic, studious, cre-ate a harmonious network should be college students' network moral norms.
