Objective To observe the preliminary effects of the treatment for early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with Madopar. Methods Thirty-one patients with 48 hips of early stage (Ficat Ⅰ,Ⅱ) non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head were treated with oral administration of Madopar since 2002. The disease was associated with consumption of alcohol in 16 cases with 27 hips; use of steroids in 10 cases with 13 hips; both consumption of alcohol and use of steroids in 2 cases with 4 hips; the remaining 3 cases, the condition was idiopathic. According to the criteria of Ficat et al., there were 4 hips in stage Ⅰ; 40 in stage Ⅱa and 4 in stage Ⅱb. Eighteen patients had received madopar for 10-28 months; 13 patients had been receiving the drug until now. Follow-up examinations were made by radiography, MRI and Charnley modified Merle d'Aubigne score. Results All patients were followed up for 12-84 months (average 27.8 months). The clinical symptoms improved in all cases. X-ray films showed that the bone density increased in nearly all the femoral heads, and 68.75%(33/48) of them maintained their shapes. The follow-up MRI showed their necrotic indices had decreased. The rate of clinical satisfaction was 91.67%(44/48), and the successful rate of treatment was 72.92%(35/48), and the collapse rate of early stage necrosis of the femoral head is 27.08%(13/48). Conclusion The preliminary results showed that madopar could prevent or delay collapse of the femoral head in early stage of osteonecrosis.

Objectives To investigate the value of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in evaluation of the hepatic uptake and excre-tion function in neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deifciency (NICCD). Methods Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with SPECT was used to detect the hepatic uptake and excretion function of 12 patients with NICCD conifrmed by SLC25A13 gene analysis, and the results were compared with the results of blood biochemical tests. Results The hepatic uptake and excretion function were obviously impaired in all of 12 NICCD patients in the initial scintigraphy. The scintigraphy were performed again in 5 patients in the follow-up after treatment, and showed that the hepatic uptake and excretion function was recovered. It was sug-gested that the hepatic uptake and excretion function was consistent with the level of liver enzymes and the degree of cholestasis. Conclusions Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is of value in evaluation of the hepatic uptake and excretion function in NICCD patients.

Background Rare studies on the effect of statin on early stage of atherosclerosis have been repor- ted.Oxidative stress induced endothelial dysfunction may be the initiative factor for the development of atheroscle- rotic plague.Objective To investigate the mechanisms by which simvastatin,prevents atheroselerosis independ- ently of its lipid-lowering effect in Apolipoprotein E deficient mice.Methods Twenty-four 6 week old male apoE- deficient mice were randomly to receive placebo or simvastatin 5 mg/(kg?d)by gavage for 4 weeks.Total choles- terol(TC),super oxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and serum nitric oxide(NO)were measured by biochemical analysis.Endothelium was observed by HE dyeing.The expression of caveolin-1 in aortic wall was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results There was no significant difference in serum TC between control and simvastatin treatment groups.Simvastatin caused less damaged endothelium(33.33% vs control's:75%,P

Objective To explore the relationship between cough variant asthma (CVA) and mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection.Methods Fifty children with CVA were chosen as the experimental group at random,and 50 children with acute upper respiratory infection,who went to the hospital in the same time and with similar age,were chosen as control group.The MP-IgM of children in both groups were tested by the granule agglutinating method.Results Significant difference (? 2=9.013 P

Objective To investigate clinical features and prognostic factors in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients with opportunistic infections.Methods Forty-two cases of AIDS patients with opportunistic infections were enrolled in this study.Clinical data and major factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed using Logistic regression.Results Bacterial infection was the first etiological factor(57.1%) of opportunistic infections in AIDS patients.Eighty-three point three percent of patients infected with more than two kind of etiological agents.Fifty-seven point one per- cent of cases were infected in multiple sites.CD4~+ T cells count was associated with the opportunistic infections.Conclusions The CD4~- T lymphocytes count is the key factor affecting the prognosis of AIDS patients with opportunistic infections.The average of CD4~+ T lymphocytes count is significant- ly related with the major opportunistic infections in AIDS paitents.

Objective To detect the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in bladder cancer tissue and normal bladder tissue. Methods Total RNA was extracted from bladder cancer tissue and normal bladder tissue by Trizol, and then miRNAs were isolated and enriched from the total RNA. Mammalian miRNA microarrays were used to analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs between the bladder cancer tissue and normal tissue. Data analysis was performed by software of LuxS-can3. 0 and SAM version 2. 1. Choose let-7 gene which was interesting to us, and validation of mi-croarray results was carried out by northern blotting. Results Compared with normal bladder tissues, there were 71 differentially expressed miRNAs in bladder cancer tissue, of which there were 38 down-regulated ones and 33 up-regulated ones. Among these miRNAs, 26 miRNAs were the most significant with 12 up-regulated and 14 down-regulated. The expression of let-7 gene in bladder cancer was down-regulated to normal bladder tissue by northern blotting, which was in agreement with the results of the miRNA microarrays. Conclusion There are differentially expressed miRNAs between bladder cancer tissue and normal bladder tissue, and let-7 gene is probably as a tumor suppressor in bladder cancer.
