Primary open angle glaucoma ( POAG) is one of the eye diseases which can lead to blindness. The early symptom of POAG is unconspicuous, however, it will result in irreversible optic never damage and visual field defect with the disease progress. As an index for diagnosing and evaluating the therapeutic effect of POAG, intraocular pressure ( IOP ) is simple and important. Clinically, although some treated patients have a target IOP at clinic time, the optic never damage still get worse. Researches indicate that higher nocturnal IOP and 24h IOP variation and lower nocturnal ocular perfusion pressure ( OPP) may be the reasons for this phenomenon. The following essay will give an overview of POAG,IOP and OPP according to the relevant literatures so that we can have a better understanding.

0.05).Except imipenem and ampicillin,there was significant difference between the resistance of non-ESBLs-producing strains from CAP and from HAP to other eleven kinds of antibiotics(?2 test,P

Objective To evaluate the relationship between hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis.Methods Data was analyzed from 41 patients with acute pancreatits from Apr.1998 to Oct.2000 in our hospital.Of the 13 patients(GroupⅠ) with plasma TG level being higher than 11.3 mmol/L, 8 accompanied with gallstone(61.5%)and 5 without gallstone(38.5%)of the 28 patients (GroupⅡ) with plasma TG level being lower than 11.3 mmol/L,19 accompanied with gallstone(47.3%)and 9 without gallstone(52.7%)RANSON score,morbidity of complications and the level of ALT and AST were compared between two groaps.The correlation between TG and RANSON score was analysed.Results There were significant difference between the two groups on RANSON score,morbidity of complications and level of ALT and AST(P0.05).Conclusion There is an close relationship between hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis,the high level of plasma TG plags a key a role in acute pancreatitis,patients with acute pancreatitis with hypertriglyceridemia are more likely to have higher morbidity of complications and liver function aggravating.

Objective:To investigate the chemical constituents in the roots of Angelica dahurica var.formosana.Methods: The dried rhizomes of Angelica dahurica var.formosana were chopped and extracted with 80% EtOH for 3 times under reflux.The EtOH extract was isolated by chromatography on silica gel using a gradient solvent system(PE:EtOAc & CHCl_3MeOH) and Sephadex LH-20.The structures of the contents were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance and MS spectral analysis.Results: Seventeen compounds were identified,namely,isoimperatorin(1),imperatorin(2),bergapten(3),alloimperatorin(4),xanthotoxol(5),cnidilin(6),byakangelicin(7),bergaptol(8),byakangelicol(9),pabulenol(10),oxypeucedanin hydrate(11),desmodimine(12),palmitic acid(13),stiamasterol(14),?-sitosterol(15),?-daucosterin(16),and sucrose(17).Conclusion: Compounds 8 and 12 have been isolated from Angelica dahurica var.formosana for the first time.Compound 12 has been firstly isolated from Umbelifera plants.All the courmarin compounds belong to linear 6,7-furanocourmarins.

Objective To evaluate impacts of Community Health Reform Pilot in Bao'an District,Shenzhen,on the staff satisfaction in community health centers.Methods Guanlan and Xixiang Street were chosen as treatment group and Songgang Street as comparison group.Date that one year before and after community reform was retrieved from Electronic Information System both from two groups.Double Differences was employed to estimate the impacts of intervention on the staff satisfaction.Results Community Health Reform program resulted in relieving staff financial stress and occupational stress by 42.4％(P＜0.001)and 46.4％ (P＜0.001)respectively and increasing the sense of equity,the sense of achievement,job satisfaction by 67.7 ％ ( P ＜ 0.001 ),54.5 ％ ( P ＜ 0.001 ) and 14.4 ％ ( P ＜ 0.05 )respectively.Conclusion The community reform in Bao 'an district has impact on increasing job satisfaction in treatment group.

Psoriasis is a chronic,refractory,inflammatory skin disease that occurs in young adults.The traditional animal model cannot simulate the skin characteristics of patients with psoriasis effectively, so it is difficult to be used for in-depth study of psoriasis mechanism. Immortalized human epidermal cells (HaCaT)is a non-tumor,immortalized human epidermal cell which is widely used in the study of dermatosis.HaCaT cells are the best choice for the study of psoriasis mechanism because their immu-nological characteristics and reproductive ability are coincide with the pathological features of psoriasis. This article reviews the specific methods such as establishment of cell method, cytokine and chemo-kine analysisin the pathogenesis study of psoriasis based on HaCaT cells, hoping to provide some thoughts for drug′s pharmacological activity research.

Objective To explore the correlation between executive function and white matter lesions (WML) and the diagnostic value by clock drawing test(CDT) in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). Methods Twenty-seven VaD patients and twenty-five normal control subjects were evaluated with CDT to assess the executive function. CDT was scored according the four point method. Age-related white matter change rating scale (ARWMCrs) was used qualitatively to measure and locate the WML by cranial MRI scanning. Results 1. The scores of CDT in normal cognition health and VaD were ( 3.88 ± 0. 33 ) and ( 1.74 ± 0. 98 ). The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P＜0. 01 ). The humerous part and the point part were the earliest to decline in the VaD Patients. The scores of WML were (5.12 ± 4. 19) and ( 11.19± 3.09), respectively. There was significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0. 01 ). The scores of CDT had significant positive correlation with MMSE scores and negative correlation with WML scores (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion The executive functional impairment in patients with VaD could be associated with the degree of WML.

AIM: To explore the anti-tumor effect and the mechanism of dihydroarteannuin in C57BL/6J mice with lewis lung cancer. METHODS: Fifty C57BL/6J mice subcutaneously planted with 3LL lung cancer cells (2?106) were randomly divided into 5 groups: blank control group, same volume of normal saline group, positive control DDP group, low, middle and high dose dihydroarteannuin groups. Changes of body weight and inhibitory rate of tumor in each group were observed. The cell cycle and apoptosis rates were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The body weights were decreased in middle and high dose group compared with NS group and the inhibitory rate of tumor were 53.50% and 59.24% respectively. FCM assay indicated that Dihydroarteannuin could induce apoptosis of lung cancer cell. At the same time, the number of G0/G1 and G2/M phase cells was decreased. Most of the cells were arrested in S1 phase. CONCLUSION: Dihydroarteannuin has obviously effect on anti-tumor in C57BL/6J mice with lung cancer. Its possible mechanism might be involved in inducing cancer cell apoptosis.

Objective To assess the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) lesions in canine prostate with real-time harmonic gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and investigate the feasibility to predict these lesions.Methods A total of 5 male beagle dogs took RFA of the prostate.Radiofrequency (RF) was delivered under transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance.A lesion was created in the right and left lateral lobes of canine prostate,respectively.The examination of conventional gray-scale ultrasonography,power Doppler ultrasonography,real-time harmonic gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were performed immediately after RF procedure.All animals were subsequently sacrificed and the prostates were harvested for pathologic analysis.Thermal lesion volume was calculated based on expected shape of ellipsoid using equation.The volumes of the calculated thermal lesion on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in dogs were compared with the volumes obtained from the pathological specimens.Results The RFA lesions could not be imaged accurately with real-time conventional gray-scale or power Doppler ultrasonography.However,contrast-enhanced low MI perfusion imaging was able to have real-time monitoring for the lesion (no blood flow).The volume of lesions was measured with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography without significant difference with those of pathologic results.Ultrasonic imaging(conventional gray-scale or power Doppler sonography)of the ablation areas also had its own characteristics.Conclusion The real-time harmonic gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasonography appears to be an accurate modality for assessment of RFA lesions.Conventional gray-scale and power Doppler sonography had their own characteristics to evaluate the RFA lesion.
