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 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.

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.

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.

To investigate the effects of particle size, mPEG molecular weight, coating density and zeta potential of monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (mPEG-PLGA) nanoparticles on their transportation across the rat nasal mucosa, mPEG-PLGA-NPs with different mPEG molecular weights (M(r) 1 000, 2 000) and coating density (0, 5%, 10%, 15%) and chitosan coated PLGA-NP, which loaded coumarin-6 as fluorescent marker, were prepared with the nanoprecipitation method and emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and determine their particle size, zeta potential, the efficiency of fluorescent labeling, in vitro leakage rate and the stability with the lysozyme were determined. The effects of physical and chemical properties on the transmucosal transport of the fluorescent nanoparticles were investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The result showed that the size of nanoparticles prepared with nanoprecipitation method varied between 120 and 200 nm; the size of nanoparticles prepared with emulsion-solvent evaporation method varied between 420 and 450 nm. Nanoparticles dispersed uniformly; the zeta potential of PLGA-NPs was negative; mPEG-PLGA-NPs was close to neutral; chitosan coated PLGA-NPs was positive; and the efficiency of fluorescent labeling were higher than 80%. In vitro leak was less than 5% within 4 h and nanoparticles were basically stable with lysozyme. The CLSM results show that the transportation efficiency of mPEG-PLGA-NPs with a high PEG coating density and high mPEG molecular weight was significantly higher than that of uncoated PLGA nanoparticles and also that of chitosan coated PLGA-NPs (P < 0.05). The hydrophilcity, zeta potential and particle size of nanoparticles play important roles on the efficiency of mPEG-PLGA nanoparticles to transport across the rat nasal mucosa.
