Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and complications of the covered stents in the treatment of malignant upper gastrointestinal tract stricture.Methods 53 cases with malignant upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction underwent treatment with covered stents.The therapeutic efficiency and the complications were observed.Results The procedures were successful in 50 cases in one time,the successful rate was 94.3%.The complications included chest pain and foreign body sensation,diarrhea,restenosis,stent migration,esophagus reflux,bleeding.Conclusion The treatment with covered stents was a safe,simple and effective management for the patients with malignant upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction who had lost the chance of surgical resection or refused to undergo operation.

Objective To evaluate the application value of Microendoscopic Discectomy (MED) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods 188 cases of lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis were treated by MED, 38 cases of them performed lateral recess decompression. Results The mean follow-up period was 6.9 months. excellent and good therapeutic result rate was 97.4% (Macnab's standard). Conclusions MED in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis has short-term satisfactory therapeutic efficacy.

By analyzing the quality requirements for the majors in pharmacy speciality and the shortcomings existing in present practice teaching this article brought up the corresponding improving measures,which include courses and teaching modes innovation,teaching ability improvement and management reinforcement.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia-ischemia(HI)on expression of second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase proteinc(Smac)in brain tissue of neonatal rats.Methods All neonatal rats were divided randomly into HI group,pseudo-operation group,and normal control group.The animal models of HIE were made.At 24,48,72,96 h after HI,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Smac protein in hippocampus.The relative activity of Caspase-3 in hippocampus tissue was determined by colorimetric assay.Results In HI group,at 24,48,72,96 h after HI,the expression levels of Smac protein in hippocampus significantly increased compared with that of pseudo-operation group and normal control group(Pa

To establish a new method for simultaneously determining the content of five gingerol compounds in different processing degrees of ginger charcoal and PCA principal component analysis was conducted for analysis. Samples were analyzed on Ultimate TM XB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 μm) , with acetonitrile (A) -0.1% phosphoric acid solution (B) as mobile phase for gradient elution. Detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. The flow rate was 0.6 mL x min(-1) and the column temperature was 30 degrees C. The five compounds were separated well and showed good linearity (r ≥ 0.999 7) within the concentration ranges tested. The average value for recoveries was between 98.86% - 101.5% (RSD 1.4% - 2.9%). The contents of five compounds showed difference among different processing degrees of ginger charcoal. Zingiberone had the highest content in the standard carbon, and the content of gingerol was decreased as the deepening of processing degree. Different processing degrees of ginger charcoal were classified into three groups with PCA, and provided scientific basis for establishing the quality standards of ginger charcoal.

Objective To investigate the advantage of separate bolus injection technique in CT urography (CTU) improving the display of the whole urinary tract.Methods Sixty cases of CTU examination,were divided into observation group and control group by random digits table with 30 cases each,observation group used separate bolus injection technique and control group used single bolus injection technique.The scanning included routine scanning,cortical phase,medullary phase and lag phase.Reconstruction of lag phase displayed the whole urinary tract.Then the image quality was compared between two groups.Results The whole urinary tract showed excellent in 12 cases (40.0％,12/30),good in 17 cases (56.7％,17/30),normal in 1 case (3.3％,1/30) in control group,which showed excellent in 23 cases (76.7％,23/30),good in 7 cases (23.3％,7/30) in observation group,there was significant difference in excellent rate between two groups (P ＜ 0.01).The CT value of starting of ureter was (238.6 ± 82.5) HU,middle-lower ureter was (245.9 ± 112.3) HU in control group and (239.0 ± 93.8),(235.3 ± 74.6) HU in observation group,there was no significant difference between two groups (P ＞0.05).There was no difference in developing of urolithiasis between two bolus injection techniques.Conclusion The application of separate bolus injection technique in CTU examination can reduce the dose of the first contrast material and contrast material reaction,and receive high-quality image of the whole urinary tract.

Objective To observe the effect of gheocorticoid by oral medication or intrathoracic iniection on the expression of IL-6,IL-8 and sIL-2R in gerum and pleural fluid in patients of tuberculous pleurisy.Methods Twenty tuberculous pleurisy patients were treated with ghcocortieoid by oral medication (oral group)and 20 cases by intrathoracic injection(injection group).ELISA wag employed to detect the levels of IL-6,IL-8 and sIL-2R in serum and pleural fluid before treatment and 3,6 and 9 days after treatment.Results The levels of serum IL-6 and IL-8 decreased and sIL-2R increased obviously in injection group at 3,6 and 9 days after treatment(P＜0.01).Meanwhile the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in pleural fluid decreased and sIL-2R increased obviously(P＜0.01).The levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly lower and the levels of aIL-2R were significantly higher in injection group than those in oral group(P＜0.01).One month after treatment,the rate of complete absorpion of pleural fluid was higher in injection group(80%)than thatin oral group(45%),the rate of pachynsis pleurae was lower in injection group(10%)than that in oral group(40%),P＜0.05.Conclusions Intrathoracic injection of ghcocorticoid shows stronger suppression of cellular immune function in cavum pleurae and weaker suppression of the general immune sysmm than oral medication.Intrathoracic injection of glucocorticoid can increase the therapeutic effect and decrease side effect in tuberculous pleurisy.
