Objective To investigate the mechanism of Chinese herb in preventing recurrence of ulcerative colitis. Methods One hundred and three UC patients were divided into treatment group and control group randomly. The treatment group was treated by Chinese herb and the control group was treated by Sulfasalazine. After treated for three months, fifty three full remission patients were followed-up. CD4+, CD8+ and CD3+ cell count were performed and influence of Chinese herb on recurrence was observed. Results Either the cell count of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ or the percentage of CD8+ in the peripheral blood was significantly higher in recurrence group than those in the control (P

Objective:To investigate the effect of free fatty acid on leptin receptor in rats.Methods:High plasma free fatty acid rat model was created by intravenous injection of free fatty acid. Western blot was used to assess the protein level of leptin-receptor in rat liver, muscle and pancreas tissues. The RNA expression level of leptin-receptor was examined by RT-PCR .The tyrosine phosphorylation of leptin-receptor was examined by immuno-precipitation. Results:The protein and RNA levels of leptin-receptor in liver,muscle and pancreas tissues of high plasma free fatty acid rats were similar to those of normal group(P>0.05).But the tyrosine phosphorylation of leptin-receptor significantly downregulated in liver and muscle tissues as compared with control group(P<0.05). Conclusions:High plasma free fatty acid may affect the tyrosine phosphorylation of leptin-receptor in rat liver and muscle.

The culture conditions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sp.strain by 1.1 b were optimized for the production of D-(-)-mandelate dehydrogenase which is useful for the asymmetric bioreduction of benzoylformate to form D-(-)-mandelate.The optimum medium(per liter)consistes of 60 g peptone,30 g maltose, 0.5 g MgSO_4,0.01 g ZnSO_4,1.0 g KCl.After optimization of the culture medium,the enzyme production in shake flasks is enhanced from 2.56 to 20.21 U/L.The optimum fermentation conditions were determined as follows:medium volume 100 mL(i.e.,40%for a 250-mL shake flask),pH 6.5,inoculum size 10%,temperature 30℃,and cultivation time 25 h.

Objective To investigate the emotional problem of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods(Seventy) ADHD children and 45 controls were evaluated with the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders(SCARED) and depression self rating scale for children(DSRSC).Results Children with ADHD showed significantly higher somatization/panic,general(anxiety),separated anxiety,scholasstic phobia and anxiety total score,depression total score(all P

There are some problems with this course of medical laboratory special English, such as reference materials, teaching contents, teaching ways, the evaluation forms, etc. The department of medical laboratory of North Sichuan Medical College did exploratory reforms including 1+n teaching mode (one major teacher and several co-operational teachers in discussion section), Flipped classroom and interactive teaching, new formative assessment forms (usual performance combing final shows grade), etc. They used innovative teaching way with the purpose of establishing new teaching way , cultivating abilities of au-tonomous learning and comprehensive application.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to primary non-traumatic parenchymal hemorrhage.Its mortality and disability are extremely high.A simple and easy clinical grading scale for ICH can not only evaluate the prognosis of patients,but also has an important guiding significance for clinical treatment and clinical research.This article reviews the contents of major intracerebral hemorrhage scales,external validation,advantages and disadvantages,and explains its scope of application and clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the clinical safety for outpatients over 80 years old after phacoemul sification surgery. Methods The 184 cases (226 eyes) of aged patients with cataracts were operated on with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. The safety, complications during and after operation, visual recovery and others were followed up over that period. Results All eyes were operated on without any danger and no serious complications were found. The vision acuity was 0 5 or better in 198 cases (87 6%), 1 0 or better in 102 eyes (45 1%). The main complication was corneal edema in 58 eyes(26 2%), rupture of posterior capsule in 12 eyes (5 3%) and posterior capsular opacity in 16 eyes (7 1%). Conclusions The phacoemulsification and IOL for over 80 years outpatients were safe and effective. The key points are systemic physical examination and careful eye examination. Stimulations during operation and postoperative complications should be prevented.

Objective To present the development of the Naming test tool ( Huashan Naming Test, HNT)for Chinese cultural and by amnestic mild cognitive impairment ( aMCI ) and mild Alzheimer' s disease (AD) between the detection of memory decline,and to analyze the validity of its trial.Methods 100 normal elders from communities in Shanghai, 100 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and 95 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) who received an education of junior high school or above and were evaluated by neuropsychological tests including mini mental state examination ( MMSE), auditory verbal memory test, Huashan Naming tests etc.8 cognitive tests.The groups of MCI and AD patients finished cranial MRI.100 items with HNT including 20 animals,10 vegetables,10 fruits ,20 tools ,20 household , 10 vehicles, 10 stationery.Results 1.HNT items to determine: 22 items were excluded due to the completion of the three groups were not significantly different; 8 items were excluded due to the completion of the normal elderly group was lower than 75%; 10 items were excluded from the analysis of variance Fvalue of the minimum value.The remaining 60 items,according to the size of the arrangement and completion rates were divided into two versions of odd and even, respectively HNT-Ⅰ and HNT-Ⅱ.2.HNT characteristics:in normal elderly group age, sex were found to had no significant factors affecting overall scores of HNT-Ⅰ and HNT-Ⅱ but level of education, MMSE score was significantly correlated (P ＜0.05).As cut-off score ≤ 26 for spontaneous naming of HNT,the sensitivities of HNT-Ⅰ for aMCI ,mild AD were 44%, 84% respectively, specificities were all around 84%; the sensitivities of HNT-Ⅱ for aMCI , mild AD were 56% ,83% respectively,specificities were all around 80%.Conclusion HNT is a Chinese cultural background,time-consuming short and good name validity test,and it is worth further promoting the application.

Objective To evaluate a somatostaitn analogue (Octreotide) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods In this study 62 HCC patients were divided into therapy group (30 cases) and control group (32 cases) based on patients' own will. Patients in treatment group were assigned to receive an average dosage of 339.43±165.53 mg of octreotide. Treatment results and patients' life quality were evaluated on 3rd and 6th month. Result (1) The average live time of the treatment group was (12.89±6.21) months much longer than that of the control group (5.36±6.36) months (P < 0.05). The 6 month, 12 month survival rate of treatment group (73.3% ,50.0% ) was better than that of the control group(40.6% ,9.37% ) (χ2 =4.02 ,χ2 =9.67,all P <0.05). (2) Appetite was improved in 21 patients, body weight increased in 12 patients. Debility ameliorated in 17 patients in therapy group. (3) Tumor grew larger in 8 cases in control group on the sixth month based on liver CT and 6 of them had extrahepatic metastasis. While in therapy group tumor size decreased in 6 cases; did not change in 9 cases; 3 grew larger, and 1 had extrahepatic metastasis. (4) As for side-effects of octreotide therapy, 6 patients had diarrhea at the beginning, as the treatments continued, the symptoms disappeared within one month. Conclusion Octreotide prolongs the surviving time of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, increases the 6 and 12 months survival rate, causing mild side-effects, and improves the life quality of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
