Objective To investigate the clinic significance of serum carbohydrate antigen ( CA)125 for cirrhosis. Methods 88 patients with type B posthepatitic cirrhosis (male 46,female 24,average age 45?24 years) were divided into three group (A stage35,B stage 28,C stage 25) according to Child-pugh integration. 36 healthy persons as normal controls were studied(male 20,female 16,average age 42?22 years). Serum CA125 was measured by ELISA. We investigated the alteration of serum CA125 with hepatic functional classification. Results The levels of serum CA125 in cirrhosis patients were markedly higher than those in control subjects(P

Objective To assess the possible differences of the clinical features and renal pathology between children and adults with Henoch Schoelein purpura (HSP),and the contribution of clinical and renal biopsy parameters to predict the disease outcome.Methods A retrospective study was performed in 156 patients with HSP.Patients younger than 16 years at disease onset were considered children,and those aged 16 years or over were considered adults.Results The male was more prevalent in both adults and children HSP groups (M∶F=1 5∶1).The previous drug treatment,and special food intake were more frequent among the adults ( P =0 03 and 0 009,respectively).Renal involvement,increased ESR and serum IgA levels were more frequent in adults,but vomiting and joint pain were more in children.The frequencies of previous upper respiratory tract infection (URTI),fever,abdominal pain,melena and nephrotic syndrome were similar in both groups.Multivariate analysis showed that age at the disease onset,URTI and abdominal pain were predictive for renal involvement (RR=7 8,4 1 and 4 6,respectively).There were no differences of the renal pathologic types between two groups.However,lesions other than glomeruli including tubular and interstitial involvement were more frequent in adults.The outcome was better in children after a mean follow up of 6 2 years.Renal disease was the main clinical manifestation in non complete remission (NCR) patients.The proteinuria and the other area lesions out of glomeruli predict the decreased remission rate (RR=5 3 and 6 7,respectively).Conclusion These results indicate that HSP is more serious and nephritis is more frequent in adults.Proteinuria and lesions other than glomeruli are the higher risk factors of NCR.

OBJECTIVE: To explore a new hospital pharmacy management mode. METHODS: The tradition pharmacy management model undergone reformation by integrating the original outpatient pharmacy, out - patient traditional Chinese pharmacy (excluding cut crude drug section) and inpatient pharmacy into one general pharmacy. RESULTS: The operation of general pharmacy not only reduced the personnel, the storing space and the stock of drugs, but also simplified the management flow - sheet. CONCLUSION: Under permitted condition, hospitals might take into account general pharmacy management mode.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (Etanercept) on intractable ankylosing spondylitis (AS) related hip joint lesion. Methods Thirty-five patients with AS with unilateral or bilateral hip joints pain and limitation of joint motion were included into this study. The patients' conditions were not controlled under standard treatment by non-steroidal anti-inflamma-tory drug and antirheumatic medications. The clinical trial was designed as a prospectiveopen study, 35 pati-ents received Etanercept 50 mg once a week for 12 weeks, combined with methotrexate (MTX) 10 mg once a week. Parameters including Harris hip score, Bath ankylosing spondylitis radiologic index-hip (BASRI-hip), Bath ankyiosing spondylitis disc.use activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were evaluated and side effects were observed before and after the treatment. Results Fifty-five hip joints were involved in 35 patients, in which unilateral hip involvement in 15 patients and bilateral in 20 patients. Harris score of the hips iner-eased significantly from 51±4 before treatment to 86±5 (P=0.000) after treatment ; Before and after treatment, BASDAI changed from 6.4±1.2 to 4.4±0.8 (P=0.000), BASFI was changed from 6.3±1.1 to 3.4±0.8 (P=0.000), before and after treatment ESR was changed from (68±28) mm/l h to (25±6) mm/l h (P=0.001), CRP changed from (59.1±22.3) mg/l, to (6.9±1.1) mg/L (P=0.000) before and after treatment respectively, but BASRI-hip was not changed obviously before and after treatment. No tuberculosis and serious side effects was observed during the treatment and follow-up period. Conclusion Etanercept, when combined with methotrexate, could be used to treatintractahle AS-related hip joint lesions. This regimen could improve the hip joint function and control the disease activity without serious side effects.

3 on biopsy contributed significantly to the prognostic value of RSR,and the presence of tubular atrophy was associated with decreased both SR and RSR.Conclusion These results indicate that early diagnosis is significantly associated with increased SR and RSR.Cr and 24UP are independent indicators of prognosis in clinical respect.Chronic renal histological features and renal artery lesion serve an additional important role in the assessment of prognosis in patients with LN.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the recurrencerelative factors of early glottic carcinoma after carbon dioxide laser treatment. METHOD: A retrospective analysis of 134 early glottic carcinoma patients' clinical data was taken to analyze the relationships between recurrence and gender, age, pathologic degree, T stage, involvement of anterior commissure and involvement of thyroarytenoid muscle. RESULT: Recurrent ratio of well-differentiated, middle-differentiated and poorly-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were 11.83%, 18.42% and 33.33% (P > 0.05) respectively. Recurrent ratio of T1a, T1b, T2 were 13.24%, 18.92%, 23.08% (P > 0.05) respectively. The recurrent rate was 33.33% of tumors offended the anterior commissure, versus 5.43% with no involvement of anterior commissure (P < 0.01). The recurrent rate was 59.09% of tumors offended the thyroarytenoid muscle, versus 5.36% with no involvement of thyroarytenoid muscle (P < 0.01). Unvaried and multivariate analysis indicated that the involvement of anterior commissure and the involvement of thyroarytenoid muscle were the factors of recurrence. CONCLUSION Recurrence of early glottic carcinoma after carbon dioxide laser treatment is effected by the involvement of anterior commissure and the involvement of thyroarytenoid muscle. Resection can be performed conservatively according to evaluation of macroscopic tumour extension.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) in pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Twenty-four pregnant patients with SLE treated with HCQ during pregnancy from May,2006 to February,2011 were studied retrospectively.All babies were followed up during early infancy for growth development.ResultsOf them,22 patients were treated with HCQ throughout the whole pregnancy with no lupus flare occurred in 21 patients (95.4％),while temporary discontinuation of HCQ precipitated a flare of disease in two patients.Three patients ( 12.5％ ) had premature delivery,and pregnancy induced hypertension happened in 3 patients (12.5％ ).No congenital abnormalities occurred and mean follow-up of 26 months ( range 1 - 47 months) revealed no abnormalities in these children.Conclusion Our findings reinforce the safety of HCQ therapy during pregancy and HCQ should probably be maintained throughout the pregancy in patients with SLE.

Objective To explore the classification of intracranial arachroid cysts(IAC) in CT cisternography(CTC) and its clinicalapplication.Methods 22 cases of IAC diagnosed by plain CT underwent CTC exminaton. IACs were classified into noncommnicatingintracranial arachnoid cyst (NCIAC) and commnicating intracranial arachnoid cyst (CIAC) by wheather or not filled with contrast media in cysts on CTC. NCIAC cases were selected and treated with neuroendoscopic fenestration.Results 15 cases of NCIAC were found by CTC examination. All the NCIAC patients had definite neurologic findings. Postoperatively, all the patients were improved or cured. Follow-upplain CT scan of 9 NCIAC cases showed the cysts were decreased markedly in size, most of the space around the cysts were replaced bynormal cerebral tissue.Conclusion (1)CTC is simple ,safe and specific for making a final diagnosis of IAC. IACs can be classified into CIAC and NCIAC by CTC findings.(2)Neurosurgical indication for IAC is NCIAC patients with symptoms.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and related risk factors associated with tuberculosis(TB) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who received glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive therapy. Methods Among the 452 SLE patients underwent the treatment of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive agent, the clinical data was reviewed and summarized retrospectively.Results 42 of 452(9.29% ) patients were diagnosed as TB infection. 11 patients (23.81% )had exudative pulmonary tuberculosis and 31 patients(73.81% ) had extra-plumonary TB. Statistics of the 31 patientsshowed that 8 patients( 19.05% ) had hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis;6 (14.29%) had tuberculo-meningitis ;2 (4.76%) had thoracic cavity TB; 2 ( 4.76% ) had abdominal cavity TB; 1 ( 2.38% )had crewels ; 1 ( 2.38% ) had bone tuberculosis and 1 (2.38%) had nephronophthisis. The focus of infection was not found in 10 patients. Of all 42 patients with TB infection, 38 cases suffered form lupus nephritis, 40 with hypoalbuminosis, 10 with TB history, 14 had leucocytopenia or hyperglycaemia, respectively. The effect of antiTB therapy started up at least 7 days, or in 4 weeks as longest. 2 patients died of hematogenous disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion Under the treatment of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive agent ,TB incidence in patients with SLE is obviously higher than that of common people.Extra-pulmonary rib and serious infection are more frequently. It is shown that those who had lupus nephritis or TB history are more susceptible to TB.

Objective To investigate the major risk factors of aseptic necrosis of bone in patients with systemic lupus erythemattrsus (SLE),and thus provide evidence for decision-making on prevention.Methods Meta-analysis Was used to systemically evaluate the 14 case-control studies about the risk factors of aseptic necrosis of bone in patients with SLE.Review Manager 4.2 Was utilized to carry out homogeneity checking and calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval.Results The OR values of risk factor of AVN in patients with SLE and 95% CI were as follows:Raynaud's phenomenon 2.43(1.12～5.29):dental ulcer 2.33(1.11～4.88);renal involvement 1.76(1.27～2.44);vasculitis 4.65(1.62～13.33):hyperlipidemia 3.28(1.76～6.12);anti-phospholipid antibody(APL)2.06(0.84～5.06):hypocomplementemia 0.63(0.35～1.14).Conclusion Glucocorticosteroid is an important risk factor in inducing aseptic necrosis of bone in patients with SLE,but it is not the only factor.Raynaud's phenomenon,dental ulcer,renal involve-ment,vasculitis and hyperlipidemia are major risk factors of aseptic necrosis of bone in patients with SLE.
