Objective　To determine the value of spiral CT in diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis(EBTB) after analysing the spiral CT appearance. Methods　Retrospective analysis of CT signs in 13 cases who were finally pathologically found suffering from EBTB via biopsy with bronchoscope. Results　Five cases have signs of bronchial structure with obstructive atelectasis and pneumonia. Two cases have signs of irregular bronchial wall. Four cases have signs of scattering dot and patchy increase density in lung fields. Two cases' bronchi and lung tissues are normal. Conclusion　CT examination can determine the site and extent of EBTB and help the localization of bronchoscope.

【Objective】In-vitro antibacterial activity of the combination of Herba Violae(HV)and Herba Taraxaci(HT)in different proportions was compared and analyzed for the optimization of the combination proportion of Herba Violae and Herba Taraxaci and the influencing factors.【Methods】The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of the combination of HV and HT was determined by agar double dilution method and the minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC)by broth dilution method,and bactericidal curve was traced.Meanwhile,the resistance of the combination of HV and HT induced by sub-inhibitory concentration was analyzed,and the influencing factors of in-vitro antibacterial activity were investigated.【Results】The combination of HV and HT in the proportion of 1∶4 had a better antibacterial activity on four kinds of gram-positive bacteria and on four kinds of gramnegative bacteria,and exerted an bactericidal effect on Escherichia coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae(both MBC_(50)/MIC_(50) and MBC_(90)/MIC_(90) being 2).The bactericidal curve showed that 2?Log cfu/mL bacteria strain could be killed by the combination of the proportion being 1∶4 at 8~(th) hour,the effect being superior to that of other two combinations.Inoculation dosage,serum amount and pH value had no effect on in-vitro antibacterial activity.【Conclusion】The combination of HV and HT in the proportion of 1∶4 has a better antibacterial activity.

Objective To study the improvement of hemorheology and prognosis of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis by combination of strong Dingxuan tablet.Methods106 cases of vertebral artery type cervical spondylopathy were randomly divided into observation group and control group.Fifty-three patients in each group were treated with manipulation in the control group, and the patients in the observation group were enrolled.The blood viscosity, whole blood low shear viscosity, plasma viscosity, whole blood reduction viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index, fibrinogen and so on were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Rheological parameters of the situation, the two groups of patients for 1 year follow-up observation, compared with 1 year recurrence rate.ResultsThe total effective rate was 92.45% in the observation group and 77.36% in the control group (P<0.05).The whole blood low shear viscosity (7.01±1.52) mPa·s, the whole blood viscosity (1.18±0.28) g/L was significantly higher than that in the control group (7.88±1.65) mPa·s, (1.47±0.34) mPa·s, (4.51±0.98) g/L, respectively (P<0.05).The recurrence rate was 13.21% in the observation group and 30.19% in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe combination of strong Dingxuan tablet combined with manipulation of vertebral artery type cervical spondylopathy is significant, the blood viscosity of the patients is reduced, the blood circulation function is improved, the recurrence rate after treatment is low, and it is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a practical, convenient and accurate method of DNA molecular marker for the identification of Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum. METHODS: Phenol extraction method and salting-out method were used to extract mtDNA from Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum and its adulterants. Cyt b mtDNA sequences of Chinemys reevesii and other turtle species were downloaded from GenBank. Species specific PCR primers were designed according to the differential DNA fragments of Cyt b genes, and Cyt b gene segment was amplified by PCR technique and sequenced. RESULTS: The complete 16.6 kb mtDNA was extracted from all samples by the two extraction methods. The specific primers could only amplify the Cyt b gene sequence of Chinemys reevesii, and its fragment was about 319 bp. The result of sequencing indicated that the homologous similarity was 100% with Chinemys reevesii. CONCLUSION: Salting-out method is suitable for the DNA extraction from Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum. The primers are specific to Chinemys reevesii and can be used to distinguish Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum from its adulterants. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.

Objective To explore the influence of helicobacter pylori(Hp) on gastric motor function in children with chronic gastrictis.Methods Forty-seven children with chronic gastrictis were classified into Hp positive and negative groups according to Hp and histology exa-mination.Each child underwent gastric emptying test of solid by using nuclide method and electrogastrogram(EGG) examination.These cases with Hp-positive acceptted these triple eradication therapy[clarithromycin 15 mg/(kg?d),amoxicillin 50 mg/(kg?d),omeprazole 0.8 mg/(kg?d)]for 2 weeks,and underwent EGG examination again after eradicating Hp.Results The half emptying time(GET_1/2)in Hp-positive gastric group were significantly longer than those in Hp-negative group(t=6.403 P

Autophagy is a vacuolar process of cytoplasmic degradation by lysosomes which ubiquitously occur in all eukaryotic cells.Heightened autophagy is a mechanism of resistance for cancer cells faced with metabolic and therapeutic stress,revealing opportunities for exploitation as a therapeutic target in cancer treament.This article reviews the mechanism of autophagy in cancer and its role for cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphism of the transmembrane region of the MICA locus in Guangdong Han population,and to protract the genetic distance in different populations.Methods DNA samples from 106 unrelated Han individuals were genotyped by PCR to analyze the frequencies of MICA alleles.The genetic distance was estimated and the phylogenetic tree was protracted by DISPAN Software.Results In total,5 alleles of MICA-TM were observed,they were A4,A5,A5.1,A6 and A9.MICA-TM A5 was the dominant allele(0.2877),whereas A4 was the least popular one(0.1321).From genetic distance and phylogenetic tree we made,the preliminary finding is that Chinese Hans may have migrated from southwest China to northern and southern China.Conclusion MICA-TM locus has high genetic polymorphism and obvious variance in different populations.Since the genetic distance could be estimated effectively through MICA-TM locus,it could serve as the genetic marker in human migration and evolution research.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of diabetic foot by observing the changes of the relative index. Methods 134 pa-tients were randomly divided into non-diabetic foot (NDF) group and diabetic foot (DF) group,the changes of blood glucose,HbA1c,creati-nine,uric acid,microalbuminuria and the complications of diabetes were observed. Results There no difference in blood glucose level be-tween 2 groups (P>0. 05). The HbA1c levels of DF group was higher,with a significant difference(P<0. 05). The levels of uric acid in fe-male of DF group was higher than those in female of NDF group(P<0. 05). there was significant differernces in levels of microalbuminuria (P<0. 05),but no statistic difference in levels of potassium and sodium between 2 groups. Conclusion The changes of HbA1c,uric acid and microalbuminuria could indicate the diabetic foot in clinic.
