Headache is a common clinical symptom.Some headache disorders belong to secondary category.Many intracranial disorders,such as head trauma,cerebral vascular diseases,intracranial tumors and inflammation,can lead to headache due to mass effect,inflammation reaction,stimulation of vasoactive substances and decreased intracranial pressure.Furthermore,many drugs and other substances,disorders of eyes,nose,ear,mouth,neck and other systemic disorders can also cause headache.Many headache disorders can be determined by detailed case history and physical examination.Blood test,lumber puncture,CT,MRI and other imaging examinations are necessary methods for finding the causes and the treatment of diseases.

The principal constituents of Radix Astragali include Radix Astragali soap glucoside,Radix Astragali polysaeeharide,amino-butyric acid,calcium and trace elements (selenium,manganese,iron,zinc,copper).Radix astragali has the function of protecting heart and kidney,two-ways regulating blood sugar and the blood pressure,resisting tumor,hypoxia,senile and oxidation,and enhancing immunity.This article reviewed pharmaceutical effects of Radix Astragali and its preparation of recent studies.

As a novel Golgi protein,GOLPH2 expression is associated with maintaining the structural integrity of the Golgi apparatus.As an oncoprotein,GOLPH2 expression is associated with malignant biological behavior of cancer cells.Important roles of GOLPH2 in the tumorigenesis and metastasis make it become a new target for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To develop a new vascular heat transfer model in the neck to analyze temperature field affected by vertebral artery. Methods With numerical simulation based on the experimental dimension data, a new model along the axial temperature distributions of blood vessels of neck was established as neck surface under normal temperature condition and during hypothermia therapy. In addition, the results were compared with those based on conventional models without vertebral arteries considered. Results It was showed that vertebral arteries played an essential role in the process of transporting blood to the brain, and it was more effective to cool the vertebral arterial blood than any other major cervical arteries in order to cool the blood before entering the Circle of Willis. Conclusion All the results obtained in this study may offer some theoretical supports to the medical proposal to cool down the brain by hypothermia therapy, for example, by covering the head and neck with ice helmet.

Purpose:To evaluate ~(18)F-deoxyglucose dual-head tomography with hPET in the detection of suspected recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer, as compared with CT/MRI imaging. Methods:21 patients with clinically suspected recurrences in non-small-cell lung cancer underwent ~(18)F-FDG hPET and CT/MRI imaging. The final diagnosis of recurrence was proved by pathology or clinical following-up. Results:The ~(18)F-FDG hPET sensitivity, specificity,accuracy,postive predictive value in defining local recurrence were 94.1%,75%,90.5 %,94.1%,respectively ; and those of CT/MRI were 60%,66.7%,61.9%,81.8%, respectively. Conclusions:In comparison with CT/MRI,~(18)F-FDG hPET possesses a higher sensitivity、specificity and accuracy in detecting recurrence in non-small-cell lung cancer.~(18)FDG hPET is quite valuable methd to define the tanget in the radiotherapy of recunent non-small-cell lung cancer,and is less expensive than PET.It is thus recommended for clinical use.

Objective To study the changes of susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to antibiotics in Chengdu area. Methods The MIC values of 12 antibiotics to 100 strains in 1991 and 100 strains in 1996 were determined, and the MIC values to PPNG and non PPNG strains were also compared. Results and Conclusion The MIC values of 6 antibiotics (including penicillin G, tetracycline,etc.) to the isolates in different periods changed significantly (P

To observe the changes in hemorheology, endotoxin and TNF ? in blood after hemoperfusion(HP) with adsorbent immobilized polymyxin B (PMB) on sepsis in rats. Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:LPS+HP+PMB,LPS+HP and LPS. All the rats received intravenously injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, Escherichia coil O111:B4,1mg/kg). Plasma of the rats in the group of LPS+HP+PMB was passed through a column containing sepharose coated activated charcoal immobilized polymyxin B at the 4th hour after LPS injection. The treated plasma was transfused bak after being mixed with blood cells. In LPS+HP group, the column did not contain immobilized polymyxin B. The animals of LPS group received LPS only. Quantitative endotoxin determination in blood was done with limulus amebocyte lysate test,TNF ? of the plasma assayed with ELISA, and hemorheology parameters were also observed after hemoperfusion. In LPS+HP+PMB group, the concentration of plasma was significantly decreased after hemoperfusion, but it was still significantly higher than the baseline value, and there was a decrease of blood cell ratio after hemoperfusion. The results suggest that specific adsorbent could remove endotoxin in the circulation and improve hemorheology.
