Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of intra/extracranial large-artery disturbance in patients with ischemic stroke (IS)/transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods The medical history information of 169 IS/TIA patients was recorded.The results of laboratory examination,electrocardiogram,echocardiography,abdominal ultrasound and chest radiography were analyzed.At the same time,the intra/extra-cranial large arteries were examined to analyze the degree,distribution and pattern of their disturbance.Results Among them,there were intra/extra-cranial large-arterial stenosis (n =112,66.3％) and small-arterial disturbance (n =57,33.7％).Multiple vascular disturbance pattern was more common in patients with intra/extra-cranial large-arterial stenosis (n =71,63.4％).The incidence of intracranial large-arterial stenosis was significantly higher than that of extracranial large-arterial stenosis (53.8％ vs.35.5％,P ＜ 0.05).And middle cerebral artery was the most commonly affected artery,36 of those were culprit vessels accounting for 73.5％ (36/49).Conclusions The IS/TIA patients have a high incidence of intra/extra-cranial large-arterial stenosis.Multiple vascular disturbance is a more common pattern.The incidence of intracranial large-arterial stenosis is greater than that of extracranial and middle cerebral artery is the most common affected artery.

With the developments of digital medicine, Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, molecular imaging and optical/acoustic multi-modality imaging, the hepatopancreatobiliary surgery have entered the era of precise diagnosis and treatment.Bidimensional pattern of disease diagnosis and treatment is developing toward three-dimensional pattern, which make the diagnosis and treatment more comprehensive and clear.Morphological imaging is gradually developing towards molecular imaging.Ultimately, the goal of truly precise diagnosis and accurate treatment will be achieved.

In order to probe into the mechanism of low-dose chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of leukemia, we studied the effects of low concentrations (l-40ng/ml) of daunorubicin (DNR) on proliferation and differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60). 1 ng/ml DNR could inhibit the proliferation of the cells, but no induction of differentiation was found. DNR at more than 5 ng/ml had both cytotoxicity and induction of differentiation. Through the count of survival cells, [3H]TdR and [3H]UR incorporation, cloning efficiency, cell morphology and NBT reduction test, it is concluded that low-dose DNR could have inhibitory and cytotoxic effects on the cells, and its inducing differentiation was not important.

The effects of 1, 25 (OH)2D3 in combination with low-dose chemotherapeutant on the human promyelocytic leukemic cells (HL-60) were investigated. In 4-day-cultured cells, 1, 25 (OH)2D3 and low-dose harringtonine (HH) or daunorubicine (DNR) had synergic effect in inducing differentiation of HL-60 cells, and HH or DNR significantly potentiated the effect of 1, 25 (OH)2D3 in inhibiting the cell proliferation, which were demonstrated by NBT reduction test and [3H]-TdR incorporation, respectively. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometery revealed that the cells in S phase decreased remarkably and most cells stopped at G0/G1 phase. The results provide a new way for the inducers in treatment of leukemia.

The paper aims to explore the studying method for the pharmacokinetics of drugs in target organs, the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol hydrochloride in the extracellular fluid of frontal cortex (FrCx) of mice was investigated. Six male mice (Kunming strain) were anaesthetized (urethane, 1.8 g x kg(-1), ip) and secured on a stereotaxic frame. A microdialysis probe was implanted into the FrCx and perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid at a flow rate of 2 microL x min(-1). One hour later, mice were administrated (ip) with tramadol hydrochloride (50 mg x kg(-1)) and dialysates were collected continuously at 12-min intervals (24 microL each) for 6 h. The tramadol concentration in dialysates was determined by HPLC-Ultraviolet detection method, and the concentration-time curve and pharmacokinetic parameters of tramadol were calculated with DAS software. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol in the FrCx extracellular fluid of mice was fitted to a two-compartment open model, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters t1/2alpha, t1/2beta, t(max), C(max) and AUC(0-infinity) were (0.27 +/- 0.05) h, (2.72 +/- 0.24) h, (0.50 +/- 0.10) h, (2 110.37 +/- 291.22) microg x L(-1) and (4 474.51 +/- 441.79) microg x L(-1) x h, respectively. In conclusion, a studying method for pharmacokinetics of drugs in the target organ is established, which is simple and feasible. Tramadol hydrochloride shows a two-compartment model in the extracellular fluid of the mouse FrCx, and the distribution- and elimination half-life are 0.5 h and 2.7 h, respectively.

Objective To determine the relationship between maternal negative major life events during the first trimester and incidence of congenital heart diseases(CHD) in their offspring.Methods The 4-2-1 medical information was referred and screen CHD children who were confirmed by Municipal hospitals over.A 1:2 case-control study was carried out with face-to-face structured interviews and telephone interviews to investigate parents of 116 children with CHD and 232 healthy matched children,including the parents′ demographic variables(such as whether the working environment exposure to toxic and hazardous substances 1 year before pregnancy,et al),mother′s experience of previous adverse pregnancy,duration of pregnancy condition(such as maternal negative major life events during the first trimester,the history of catching a cold or fever during the first trimester.The possible risk factors were analyzed by simple factors Logistic regression methods.Then,diagnosing the colinearity among these suspicious risk factors,and rejecting it if necessary.Finally,multiple factors conditional Logistic stepwise regression was used to filter once more.Results The results revealed that maternal negative major life events and taking medicine during the first trimester,mother′s experience of previous adverse pregnancy were related to the occurrence of CHD in the offspring.Moreover,maternal negative major life events during the first trimester play the most important role(OR=1.810).Conclusions Strengthening mothers′ mental health and controlling or reducing maternal negative major life events during the first trimester may be effective in reducing the risk of CHD.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal liposarcoma .Methods We reported one case of huge retroperitoneal liposarcoma in our hospital .The clinical characteristics ,diagnosis and treatment were discussed ,and the literatures were reviewed .Results The patient received the left retroper-itoneal tumor resection and partial resection of the left kidney after the imaging diagnosis .Postoperative pathologi-cal results indicated retroperitoneal liposarcoma .No tumor recurrence and metastasis ocurred in the follow -up of 20 months.Conclusion Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is rare ,with no specific clinical manifestations .The applica-tion of CT is helpful to the diagnosis of this rare disease .Surgery is the preferred method for the treatment .

Success of Sanming's heahhcare reform relies heavily on the government's dominant role.Based on this inspiration,the paper discussed the responsibilities expected of the government in health protection of the people as required by national strategy,public interests and market demands,and presented the corresponding responsibilities of the government in the protection,leadership,scrutiny and management for the sake of public health.In addition the paper recommended on policies to make up for the absence and dislocation of governmental responsibilities,including all-out efforts for legislations in health protection,greater government subsidy for health protection,development of a comprehensive supervision system,and establishment of entities accountable for people's health in general.
