OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of vitamin B12 combined with mouse nerve growth factor in the treatment of neurogenic tinnitus. METHODS:270 patients with neurogenic tinnitus were randomly divided into control group 1, control group 2 and observation group. Control group 1 was treated with Vitamin B12 injection 25 μg by intramuscular injection, once a day;control group 2 was treated with mouse nerve growth factor 18 μg adding into 2 ml water for injection for dissolution, once a day;observation group was treated with Vitamin B12 injection 25 μg(the usage was the same as control group 1)+mouse nerve growth factor 18 μg(the usage was the same as control group 2). 6 d was a treatment course,and it lasted 2 courses. Clinical efficacy,and sleep SPIEGEL score and incidence of adverse reactions before and after treatment in 3 groups were observed. RE-SULTS:Total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group 1 and control group 2,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);however,there was no significant difference between control group 1 and control group 2 (P>0.05). After treatment,sleep SPIEGEL score in 3 groups was significantly higher than before,and observation group was high-er than control group 1 and control group 2,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);however,there was no signifi-cant difference between control group 1 and control group 2(P>0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Vitamin B12 combined with mouse nerve growth factor has better efficacy than only vitamin B12 or mouse nerve growth factor in the treatment of neurogenic tinnitus,with good safety.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the changes of the blood platelet counts (BPC) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and pather mechanism of CP in traditional Chinese medicine.MethodsBPCs of CP children and healthy children were analyzed with statistical method.ResultsThe BPC of CP children was higher than that of the healthy children ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe BPC of CP children is higher than that of the healthy children, and this is consistent with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine about pathogenic mechanism of CP that CP is related to blood stasis.

Results The prevalence of depression disorder was 3.66% ; $i, Dy, Ne mean scores of freshmen with depression disorder were significantly higher than without depression disorder(t= 5. 348,3. 879,2. 997 ) (P<0.05, P<0.01)), otherwise, Do, Pc , PEI ones were significantly lower than without depres-sion disorder( t= -2.171, -2.602, -2.62) (P<0.05, P<0.01);D mean score of all subjects was significant-ly related to Si, Dy, Do, Nc, PEI,Pe(r=0.600,0.465, -0.356,0. 240, -0. 353, -0. 146) (P<0.05, P<0.01 ). And also Si,Do,Pc,Nc got into regression quotation. Condusion Freshmen's depression is associated with their personalities,coping style and self-consciousness, however,their personalities, coping style were most important pre-dictors.

Objective To evaluate the treatment of supra-condylar fractures of the humerus (12-B1.2 by AO classification) with a unilateral external fixator. Methods From 2003 to 2006,28 cases of supra-condylar fractures of the humerus were treated with a unilateral external fixator. They were 15 males and 13 females. Their average age was 43 (24 to 58) years old. They were all closed fractures and 2 cases complicated with radial nerve injury. Results All were followed up for an average of 28 (12 to 54) months. All fractures united with an average healing time of 4.5 months. The 2 cases of radial nerve injury recovered completely. Five cases had infection of pin holes. The patients had an average elbow score (Money and Bryan system) of 97 and an average shoulder score (Constant and Murley system) of 98. Conclusion The unilateral external fixator is appropriate for supra-condylar fractures of the humerus ( 12-B1.2 by AO classification),because it provides not only effective fixation but also early functional rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE To establish the isolation and identification system of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs)in vitro, and then to establish a stable cultured system in which the hMSCs can be induced to osteoblasts, chondroblasts and lipoblasts in vitro. To study the possibility if hMSCs can be used as the seed cells in bone tissue engineering.This study would lay a foundation for the clinical application of tissue engineering. METHODS 5ml bone marrow of the patient was aspirated from iliac crest. The human MSCs were isolated using Percoll gradient centrifugation. The hMSCs were cultured in DMEM medium in vitro, FACS(fluorescence axtivated cell sorter)was used to identify the phenotype of hMSCs. The hMSCs were cultured in vitro, and induced to osteoblasts, chondrocytes and lipocytes. The changes of phenotype were tested by mmunohistochemisty and molecular biology technique. RESULTS The hMSCs were isolated by Percoll gradient centrifugation from patient’s bone marrow. The expression rate of MSC markers including CD105, CD166, CD29 were(78?6)%, (43?7)%, (69? 12)% respectively. The phenotype of osteoblasts induced from hMSCs was verified by the mineralized nodes formation when cultured in vitro and Col, and OCN expression showed by immunohistochemistryand RT-PCR. The phenotype of chondrocytes induced from hMSCs was verified by type, collagen, SOX9 expression with immunohistochemical staining technique and type, collagen, aggrecan mRNA expression with RT-PCR. The lipocytes’ phenotype was verified by positive result of oil red O staining and PPAR 2mRNA expression by RT-PCR. CONCLUSION The highly pure hMSCs can be harvested by means of density gradient centrifugation, and the hMSCs have multi-potentiality of cell differentiation via induced culture in vitro. The third passage of hMSCs can be induced to express osteoplast phenotype and meet the qualitative and quantitative demands of seed cells when bone tissue engineering was used in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the role of intravenous nutrition and enteral nutrition in the treatment of gastroplegia after gastrectomy. Methods The clinical data of 63 cases of gastroplegia after gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 63 cases, 30 were treated by gastrodynamic drugs and intravenous nutrition(intravenous nutrition group), and the other 33 cases were treated by gastrodynamic drugs and enteral nutrition(enteral nutrition group). Gastrointestinal decompression amount and recovery time of gastroplegia between the two groups were compared. Results Enteral nutrition group had a short recovery time of gastroplegia and less gastrointestinal decompression amount compared with intravenous nutrition group(P

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of delayed ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and doxorubicin preconditioning (DPC) to induce ischemic tolerance. Methods The models of sham-operation and orthotopic liver transplantation in the Wistar rats was used. IPC was administered with a 10-min ischemia followed by a 10-min reperfusion. Animals in the DPC group were pretreatd with Doxorubicin (1?mg/kg, iv). The control rats were subjected to saline treatment. The induction of HSP70 and HO-1 protein ( Western blot), the expression of ICAM-1 transcripts (RT-PCR)and ICAM-1 protein (immunohistochemistry), the activities of serum AST, ALT, LDH, and liver myeloperoxidase (MPO) , liver wet-to-dry weight ratios (W/D) were assessed.Results HO-1 expression was maximally induced at 12?h after IPC, and hardly changed until 48?h. A strong induction of HSP70 was detected at about 24 to 72?h after IPC. The levels of HO-1 and HSP70 were obviously elevated at 24?h after IPC or DPC as compared with the control ( P 0.05 ). In the control group, the transcription of ICAM-1 was significantly increased 6?h after reperfusion. Capillary endothelial cells of the livers strongly expressed ICAM-1. Activities of liver MPO were obviously elevated. IPC and DPC could significantly decrease the transcription of ICAM-1 in the livers in concurrence with the expression of ICAM-1 protein as well as the activity of MPO at 6?h after reperfusion ( P
