Objective To study the relationship between the contents of arsenic, chromium and lead in the flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia L and soil sown to them in urban area of Qingdao. Methods The flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia L and soil, where they grew, were sampled for analysis in different quarters in urban area of Qingdao in May,2001. Results The sanitary qualities of the soil samples all maintained Grade 1, no one of the samples exceeded the related national sanitary standards for the contents of arsenic, chromium and lead in soil. Based on the national standards for As, Cr and Pb in food, the As contents in the sampled flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia L were all below the related national standard. The Cr contents in the flower samples exceeding the standard were only found in industrial quarter. The Pb contents in all flower samples exceeded the standard. Conclusion The low contents of Cr and Pb in flower samples were associated with those in the soil sown to Robinia pseudoacacia L and other environmental factors in a certain degree.

Objective To discuss the video-urodynamic characteristics and management in infra-sacral cord injured patients. Methods The video-urodynamic finding and managements in 169 patients was reviewed. They were followed up for 2 years. Results Detrusor areflexia was found in 76.33% (129/169) patients, among them there were 27.22% (46/169) patients appeared hyper-compliance, and 7.10% (12/169) patients appeared reflux. The video-urodynamic characteristics showed over activity and low-compliance in 12.43% (21/169) patients, including reflux in 5 cases. Different management was chosen according to the video-urodynamic examination. No special complication was observed after 2 years follow-up. Conclusion The majority patients with infra-sacral cord injury appeared detrusor areflexia and hyper-compliance. Special management according to the video-urodynamic characteristics is important for protecting upper urinary tract and preventing urinary system infection.

OBJECTIVETo explore the correlation between hand and face-mouth, so as to provide nerve reflex basis for the theory "Hegu (LI 4) regulates face and mouth".
METHODSSeven hundred and sixty-three participants who met the inclusive criteria were divided into different age groups. The skin around participants' thenar eminence was gently scraped to be observed whether there was an involuntary movement around the face or mouth, which was palmomental reflex. The results of palmomental reflex were recorded.
RESULTSThe total occurrence rate of palmomental reflex was 46.26%. For those who were 0 to 1 years old, the palmomental reflex was all positive; for those who were 21 to 36 years old, the positive rate was 20.45%, which was the lowest; for those who were 65 to 85 years old, more than half of them were positive. The majority of those who were 0 to 2 years old were bilateral positive palmomental reflex, while the majority of those who were 65 to 85 years old were unilateral positive palmomental reflex.
CONCLUSIONThere is a certain connection between hand and face-mouth. The occurrence rate of palmomental reflex changes from high to low over age increasing, and then changes from low to high with the aging, presenting a "high-low-high" U-shaped curve, which is possible related to the growth and recession of nervous system.

Researching on a large relevant literature of spinal tuberculosis, this paper discussed characteristics of spinal tuberculosis and its early diagnosis method. If spinal tuberculosis can be found and treated earlier, prognosis will be better. The early diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis has become hot spot at present. There are many different diagnostic methods including clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, imaging examination, etc. The newest standpoint showed that immunization has closely correlation with tuberculosis and it will become the focus and developmental direction of future research in spinal tuberculosis. In addition, we should know the differential diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis to avoid the misdiagnosis.

6.Therapeutic effect of acupuncture on female's climacteric depression and its effects on DA, NE and 5-HIAA contents.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2007;27(5):317-321
To observe therapeutic effects of acupuncture on female's climacteric depression and to study on the mechanism. Methods Sixty cases enrolled were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. In the acupuncture group, acupuncture were given at Ganshu (BL 18), Shenshu (BL 23), Xinshu (BL 15), etc. with uniform reinforcing-reducing method, once each day, and the control group were treated with oral administration of fluexertine hydrochloride, 20 mg, once daily. HAMD scale was used for assessment before treatment and 2,4,6 weeks after treatment. Blood dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) contents were detected before treatment and after one therapeutic course. Results The total effective rate was 86.7% in the acupuncture group and 92.9% in the control group with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, DA content increased significantly in the acupuncture group with a significant difference as compared with that of the control group (P < 0.05); and after treatment NE and 5-HIAA contents in the two groups significantly increased as compared with that before treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture can benignly and comprehensively regulate general functions, and increase contents of monoamines in the body, so as to play the role of anti-depression.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment of tricuspid valve regurgitation after valve replacement.Methods Twenty one patients with tricuspid valve insufficiency after valve replacement were performed surgical treatment.Tricuspid valve-plasty was performed in 17 patients and tricuspid valve replacement was done in 4 patients.Three patients underwent edge-to-edge tricuspid valveplasty.DeVega procedure was performed in 5 patients.Cosgrove-Edward annuloplasty ring was used in 15 patients.Four patients' valve were replaced by SJM bileallet mechanical prostheses.Results There was 3 patients dead early after operation with a mortality of 14.3%(3/21).The causes of death including multiple organ failure,cardiac arrest and low cardiac output syndrome.The rate of early postoperative complications was 33.3% (7/21),including pulmonary edema,arrhythmia,acute renal failure and low cardiac output syndrome.The patients were followed up 9-60 months.The rate of readmission was 23.8% (5/21).Two patients went to hospital again for pleural effusion,1 patient for left ventricular dysfunction and 2 patients for right ventricular dysfunction.The other patients recovered well.Conclusions Surgical therapy is effective on severe tricuspid valve regurgitation after valve replacement.Preoperative aggressive treatment of heart failure,a reasonable grasp of surgical indications and timing of surgery,strict perioperative management are the keys to guarantee patients a smooth recovery.

The effects of dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum on growth performance and humoral immune response in Miichthys miiuy were evaluated. One hundred and fifty Miichthys miiuy weighing approximately 200-260 g were divided into five groups and reared in 15 tanks with closed circuiting culture system. The animals were fed 5 diets: basal diet only (control) or supplemented of the basal diet with C. butyricum at doses of 10(3) (CB1), 10(5) (CB2), 10(7) (CB3) or 10(9) (CB4) CFU/g. Compared with the control, the serum phenoloxidase activity was significantly increased by the supplementation (P<0.05), acid phosphatases activity was increased significantly (P<0.05) at the doses of 10(9) CFU/g. Serum lysozyme activity peaked at dose of 10(7) CFU/g and in the skin mucus at dose of 10(9) CFU/g. Immunoglobulin M level in the serum and skin mucus was increased except at dose of 10(3) CFU/g (P<0.05). The growth at the dose of 10(9) CFU/g was higher than that of the control (P<0.05). It is concluded that supplementation of C. butyricum can mediate the humoral immune responses and improve the growth performance in Miichthys miiuy.
