Objective To investigate an effective therapy to cure Diabetic Neurogenic Bladder (DNB).Methods By adopting multi-center,random,comparative and single-blind clinical experiments,138 patients with DNB from three centers were divided equally into two groups,namely a control group and a therapy group.Patients in the therapy group were treated with acupoint injection therapy with Astragalus injection,while others were treated by western medical based therapy.After four weeks,the effectiveness was collected.Results After the treatment,the TCM syndrome integral of the treatment group and the control group was (18.47± 1.67) and (23.19±2.82) respectively,both reduced than that before the treatment[(29.25±2.12) and (29.13 ± 1.69) respectively]; the difference between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant (P＜0.05) ; bladder residual urine volume in the treatment group and the control group was (88.47± 16.7) ml and (143.19±28.2)ml respectively,both reduced than that before the therapy [(308.90±22.6)ml and (305.90± 20.8)ml respectively],the difference between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant (P＜0.05) ;The total effective rate was 88.4％ and 72.5％ in the treatment group and the control group respectively,showing statistical difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion It is confirmed that acupoint injection therapy with Astragalus injection is an effective curative method for DNB.

With the rapid development of therapeutic colon-technology,we see the daylight of its clinic use.But, at the same time,there are many social,ethical problems.We think, cloning human embryo and extracting stem-cells should be protected ethically. The fusion of the cells of human and rabbits violates the principles of life such as dignity.harmony and independence.Cloning organs of animals and transplanting them to patients can not shun the social and ethical problems and those of the law. So, the first and most important thing is to formulate the norm of the law and that of the athics.

[Objective]To review the treating effect of cases of the developmental dysplasia of the hip in old age children by a one-stage combined Pemberton operation and femoral shortening and investgate if the hip joint stiffness rate and ischemic necrosis rate of femoral head after operation are reduced. [Method]From June 2002 to Decempber 2006, 136 hip congenital dislocation of 101 old age children (7 years to 14 years) were treated by Pemberton operation and femoral shortening,and were followed-up from 1.5 years to 4 years(average, 2 years and 7 months).[Result]Thirty-one cases can only bend their hip joint below 90 degrees, accounting for 22.79% of all. Thirty-eight ischemic necrosis of femoral head occurred which accounted for 27.94%.The rate of ischemic necrosis of the femoral head and hip joint stiffness of old age children after operation were reduced obviously according to the standard by Salter.[Conclusion]Pemberton operation and femoral shortening are preferred in treating the developmental dysplasia of the hip of old age children.It can reduce the rate of ischemic necrosis of femoral head and hip joint stiffness.

Objective To investigate the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and vascular cognitive impairment-no dementia (VCI-ND) subjects. Methods Sixteen normal elders, 10 patients of aMCI, 12 patients of VCI-ND who were aged from 50 to 80 years old and received an education of middle school or higher. All participants finished cranial CT or MRI. Xe-CT was used to evaluate rCBF of different cerebral regions of all participants. Results The distribution of rCBF of basal ganglia, the cortex and white matter was (76. 4 ± 8. 6), (48.0 ± 7. 1) and (20. 5 ± 1.7) ml· 100 g-1 ·min-1, respectively. When compared in 3 groups, the temporal and parietal lobe rCBF had a decreasing tendency in aMCI group, while in VCI-ND group, the most dominant decreasing parts were mainly concentrated in white matter region ((17. 7±2. 3) ml·100 g-1·min-1, F = 5. 740, P = 0. 002). Whatever the depth or the width was, beth periventricular and subeortical deep white matter, anterior and posterior ventricular regions were all involved. There are no dominant difference of rCBF in caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus and thalamus. Conclusion The difference in rCBF reflects the pathological difference between aMCI and VCI-ND.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the postoperative complications induced from the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH).Methods The data of the third or fourth degree hemorrhoids operated by pro- cedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids were analyzed.Results Total 224 patients with hemorrhoids were operated on by PPH,and the mean operative time was 25 minutes and mean postoperative hospital stay were 3.5 days.Postoper- ative bleeding requiring haemostatic procedures occurred in two patients.Urine retention rate was 30.36%,there were 56 eases pain scores＞5,there of re-prolapse,16 cases of residual skin tags.One case of mucocele.Conclusion The rule of PPH is individual management.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the oxidative stress responses during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),global cerebral I/R group (group I/R) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Global cerebral ischemia was induced by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries combined with hypotension (MAP maintained at 35-45 mmHg).In group D,dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 3 μg · kg-1 · h-1until 2 h of reperfusion after a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg was intravenously injected immediately after onset of reperfusion.The neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion,the rats were then sacrificed,and their brains were immediately removed for determination of cell apoptosis and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT).Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,NDS,apoptotic rate and MDA level were significantly increased,and SOD and CAT levels were decreased in I/R and D groups.Compared with group I/R,NDS,apoptotic rate and MDA level were significantly decreased,and SOD and CAT levels were increased in group D.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine attenuates global cerebral I/R injury through inhibiting the oxidative stress responses.

Taxol could induce tumor cell apoptosis throug h activation of Fas/FasL and caspases. bcl-2 also played an important role in t axol-induced cell apoptosis. Furthermore, taxol had the similar action with lip opolysaccharide on inducing the release of bioactive substances including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin and nitric oxide. There were as well some progresse s in taxol-resistance of tumor cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Fifty-four adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each): shame operation group (group S),global cerebral I/R group (group I/R) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Global cerebral I/R was produced by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries combined with hypotension (MAP maintained at 35-45 mm Hg).In group D dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg was injected iv immediately after I/R,followed by infusion of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 3 μg· kg- 1 · h- 1 until 2 h of reperfusion.The neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed (0 =normal,100 =brain death) at 6 h (T1),24 h (T2)and 72 h (T3) of reperfusion.Then six rats were sacrificed in each group and brain tissues were removed for microscopic examination of hippocampus CA1 region and determination of activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO),contents of TNF-α and IL-1β and expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP).Results Compared with group S,NDS,MPO activity and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β at T1-3 were significantly increased,the expression of GFAP was up-regulated at T2,3 in groups I/R and D ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group I/R,NDS,MPO activity and TNF-α concent were significantly decreased at T1-3,IL-1β concent was decreased at T1,2,the expression of GFAP was down-regulated at T2,3 in group D (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ).The pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group D as compared with group I/R.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate global cerebral I/R injury in rats,and the inhibition of inflammatory response may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To evaluate sevoflurane inhalation and propofol combined with ketamine total venous anesthesia in pediatric laparoscopic surgery of oblique inguinal hernia.Methods Seventy ASA Ⅰ children were randomly divided into two groups,35 children in every group.Children in group S were appliedsevoflurane inhalation[the minimum alveolar concentration(MAC)of sevoflurane was 1.0-1.5],children in group PK were applied ketamine inhalation and total venous anesthesia of propofol[80μg/(kg·min)]with ketamine[20μg/(kg·min)].Compared the time of anesthesia induction,tracheal catheter extubation,anesthesia recovery between the two groups.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2)during anesthesia were compared.During 2 days after operation,the adverse effects such as nausea and vomit,lower grade of sleep quality were also compared.Results Compared with group PK,the time of anesthesia induction,tracheal catheter extubation and anesthesia recovery in group S were shorter (P<0.05),the incidence of emergence agitation in group S was higher(20.0%,7/35 vs 2.9%,1/35)(P<0.05).But nausea(17.1%,6/35),vomit(31.4%,11/35)and lower grade of sleep quality(54.3%,19/35)were higher in group PK than those in groups(all 2.9%,1/35)at 1 day after operation(P<0.05).The incidence of lower grade of sleep quality at2 days after operation in group PK(14.3%,5/35)was higher than that in group S(0)(P<0.05).Cardiovascular effects of children,such as MAP and heart rate during the period of tracheal catheter extubation in group S was higher than that in group PK.Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation and propofol combined with ketamine total venous anesthesia in pediatric laparoscopic surgery of oblique inguinal hernia still has some disadvantages,the anesthesia technology is selected by anesthesia method and medicine combination.
