Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) is the product and adjusting factor of the hepatocyte immune process when Hepatitis B virus (HBV) invades. There was a correlation among the level of TGF-β1, immune cell cytokines and HBV replication during antiviral therapy. It has an important clinical significance for the researchers to investigate dynamic change of TGF-β1 in chronicviral hepatitis type B (CHB) immunological response and antiviral treatment.

Objective To investigate the reverse effects of zoledronic acid on the malignant phenotype of Bel-7402 human hepatocarcinoma cells.Methods The AFP secretary amount of the cells was determind with RIA,and thespecfic activities of tyrosine-?-ketoglutarate transaminase(TAT),ornithine carbamyl transferase(OCT) and alkaline phospharase(ALP),?-glutamgl transpeptidase(?-GT) and aldolase(ALD) were assayed by enzymological methods.Results Treating with 0.05?g/ml zoledronic acid,the proliferation of the cells,the secretary amount of AFP,and the specific activities of ?-GT and ALD significantly decreased(P

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of pulmonary actinomycosis and to improve the understanding of the clinical misdiagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis. Method Clinical data of 4 pulmonary actinomycosis patients were analized and related literatures were reviewed. Results All the 4 pulmonary actinomy-eosis cases were misdiaguosed as lung cancer. Pulmonary actinomycosis can be correctly diagnosed through lung bi-opsy by CT-guided percutaneous paracentesis,fiberoptic,bronchoscopy,or pathological examination of the resected pulmonary lobe. Conclusions Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare lung infection caused by fungus,and is liable to be misdiagnosed as peripheral lung cancer. The capacity of distinguishing pulmonary actinomycosis from peripheral lung cancer needs to be improved.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of compound matrine injection on hepatic lesion caused by chemotherapy. Methods 178 patients after gastric and colorectal cancer resection were enrolled into three groups randomly. 56 patients in group A received MFOLFOX6 regimen treatment only, 62 patients in group B received both normal treatment and combined compound matrine injection,60 patients in group C received both normal treatment and glutathione. The change of liver function were observed. Results There was no the hepatotoxicity of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree in all groups;the incidence of bilirubin and transaminase increasing in group B and C was significantly lower than that group A(P ＜0.05), but the incidence of ALP/GGT increasing showing no significant difference among the three groups; 72.7 % of the incidence of hepatic lesion in group A happened firstly before the seventh cycle,it was 27.3 % and 33.3 % respectively in group B and group C, the time of the emerging of hepatotoxicity in group B and C was markedly delayed than that group A (P ＜0.05); there was not significant difference between group B and group C in both bilirubin and transaminase increasing and the time of the emerging of hepatotoxicity (P ＞0.05). Conclusion Compound matrine injection can prevent and postpone the happening of hepatic lesion caused by adjuvant chemotherapy after digestive tract cancer resection, The result is equal to glutathione. Compound matrine injection also has antineoplastic effects, so the clinical superiority is more obvious.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the cause of CABG infection and its controlling methodology. METHODS In order to conduct comparative analysis of 40 cases of CABG incision infection and 40 cases of CABG without infection,the "rank sum test" statistical models were applied. RESULTS According to the analysis of statistics,the hospitalized days and costs in sample group with infection were higher than that of control group,and the difference had statistical significance.Compared with the control group,the hospitalized days of sample group with infection averagely increased 43.03 days(2.85 times),and the total hospitalized costs of it averagely increased RMB 84 314.38 yuan(2.02 times). CONCLUSIONS Apart from patients themselves,there are also many possibilities which will cause the infection,which request the on-going works on surgery skills improvement,standardizing the process of aseptic technique,disinfection and isolation,utilizing antimicrobial agents rationally,reducing patients′ hospitalized days before surgery,as well as improving the pre-operative management etc.

Objective To investigate the abnormality of electrocardiography (ECG) of patients with neoplasms after different chemotherapy. Methods The abnormality of ECG data in 632 patients with neoplasms after different chemotherapy in our hospital was analyzed. Results The changes of ST-T was found in 352 cases (55.70 %), arrhythmia in 197 cases (31.2 %), low QRS in 91 cases (14.4 %), cardiac infarction in 2 cases (0.32 %). Conclusion Different chemotherapy can induce abnormality of ECG, especially combined with anthracycline. Pay attention to potential cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutics and do regular examination of ECG is very important.

The effects of zinc on collagen synthesis and wound healing were observed in 124 rats. The animals were divided into three groups. ZD--zincdeficient, SP--pair fed with zinc supplemented and SF---ad lib withzinc supplemented, each receiving 0.07, 0.82 and 0.84 mg Zn per rat per day respectively. An 8 cm long surgical incision was made on one side of the back of each animal and 3 pieces of sponge were implanted subcutaneous^ on another side. The results showed that the rats receiving zinc supplement (SP , SF) had greater increase of body weight and higher concentration of serum zinc than the ZD rats before and after operation, Tke fibroblast counts in granular tissues of group ZD were significantly less than that of groups SP and SF from the 4th to 14th day after operation. The breaking strength of healing incision of groups S P and SF was greater than that of group ZD in the late stage of wound healing. The determination of sponge collagen indicated that groups SP and SF had stronger ability to synthesize collagen after being wounded than ZD animals. The results suggested that zinc might play an important role in wound healing, not only due to the increase of diet intake, but also due to increased fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis.

Objective To discuss the significance of acoustic rhinometry(AR) and rhinomanometry(RM) in the evaluation of surgical treatment of nasal septal deviation.Methods Fifty-one patients of nasal septal deviation were recruited,and seventy-two nasal cavities were tested(twenty-one patients with narrowing of double sides).Visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to estimate the degree of nasal obstruction.AR and RM were used to obtain the data of nasal airway resistance(NAR),nasal cavity 0-5cm volume(NCV0-5) and nasal minimal cross-sectional area(NMCA).The data were used to assess the airflow function of nasal cavity.Each patient was tested at the time both before surgery and 12 weeks after surgery.The pre-and post operative data were used to calculate paired t-test by SPSS 16.0,and to disclose the correlation among ?NCV,?NMCA,?NAR and ?VAS.Results The preoperative data showed that NCV0-5 was 4.07?0.91cm3,NMCA 0.33?0.08cm2,NAR 1.14?0.34kPa?s?L-1,and VAS 7.36?1.23;and the postoperative data showed that NCV0-5 was 7.29?0.68cm3,NMCA 0.56?0.08cm2,NAR 0.35?0.12kPa?s?L-1,and VAS 1.14?0.91.Significant differences existed in NCV0-5,NMCA,NAR and VAS(P

OBJECTIVE Discuss the cooperative relationship between The Office of Nosocomial Infection Control("the Office") and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention("the Center") in hospital.METHODS The cooperative relationship between the Office of Nosocomial Infection Control and the Center were analyzed,the third degree A Class hospitals in Beijing area.RESULTS 25 hospitals had set up Centers.Among them,there are special stuff in charge of the report of the infection in 17 hospitals which had the Office with the function of the Center.So far,none of the Offices with the function of the Center can operate all the functions of the office.CONCLUSIONS The setup of the Center is to detect and control infectious disease on the basis of nosocomial infection control.

Objective To discuss the effect of self- care education at the early time of postoperation and the use of nursing packages during the later period on non- throat patients. Methods 40 patients having un-dergone total laryngectomy were divided into the control group and the experimental group according to the surgery date with 20 cases in each group. The control group received conventional nursing, while the experi-mental group was given the system intervention by specialized nurses. The intervention content included self-care education at the early time of postoperation and the use of nursing packages during the later period. The questionnaire survey was carried out 15 days and 3 months after operation.The coping style,self-care ability and survival quality were compared between the two groups. Results The comparison of coping style showed re-markable difference in the two groups. The comparison of self- care ability and level of health knowledge showed significant difference 15 days after operation except two other items,but the four items demonstrated significant difference 3 months after operation. Difference also existed in the total scorn of survival quality. Conclusions Early system serf- care education after operation and the use of nursing package during the later period can impel the patients to cope positively, enhance self-care ability and survival quality.
