AlM: To observe the treatment efficacy of eyelid herpeszoster with external use ganciclovir ophthalmic gel.METHODS:A total of 77 patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. ln the treatment group, ganciclovir ophthalmic gel was topical coated on the basis of antiviral drugs, while the control group was coated with conventional acyclovir ointment and antiviral treatment.
RESULTS: The cure rate was 95% in the treatment group, and the control group was 83% after 10d treatment. The difference was significant.
CONCLUSlON: The efficacy of ganciclovir ophthalmic gel treated eyelid herpes zoster is obvious.

Objective: To discuss the value of preserving ICBN during modified radical mastectomy for breast neoplasms. Methods: Sixty-three cases of breast carcinoma who underwent modified radical mastecto-my were studied. Of them, ICBN was completely preserved in 33 cases and was dissected in 30 cases. Sen-sory function of the medial upper arm of all patients was followed up after surgery. Results: No local recur-rence or metastasis was found among the 63 patients during the first, sixth, and twelveth month of follow-up period. Among the 33 cases with ICBN reserved, 29 cases (87.88%) had normal sensation of the skin in up-per medial arm and axilla, while 4 cases (12.12%) had paresthesia. Conclsion: Preserving ICBN can en-hance the quality of life of breast cancer patients after surgery.

Objective To explore the significance of intra carotid arterial diazepam injection in lateralization of intractable epilepsy with bilateral synchronous epileptiform discharges. Methods Intra carotid arterial diazepam injection test was performed in 20 patients suffering from intractable epilepsy with bilateral synchronous epileptiform discharges under EEG monitoring. Side of the epileptogenic focus was determined by observation of the inhibition of epileptiform discharges after injection. Results After diazepam injection, disappearance of bilateral synchronous epileptiform discharges was found in 16 patients (80%), so the injection side was decided as the epilepogenic focus. Disappearance of the epileptiform discharges was found at the injection side, but disappearance of the bilateral epileptiform discharges was found after injection at the opposite side in 4 cases (20%). The accuracy of lateralization was proved by surgery, electrocorticography (EcoG), and depth electroencephalography (DEEG) in 12 out of the 20 cases. During the follow up for 1-6 5 years after surgery and gamma knife treatment, disappearance of clinical seizure and epileptiform discharges of EEG and improvement were found in 15 cases (75%) and 5 cases (25%), respectively. Conclusion Intra carotid arterial diazepam injection is of important clinical value in lateralization of the epileptogenic focus before surgery for patients with intractable epilepsy.

Objective To evaluate the protective effects of different modes of ventilation on the lungs on the operated side during one-lung ventilation (OLV ) in patients undergoing thoracic surgery .Methods Forty-five ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes ,aged 45-64 yr ,weighing 65-80 kg ,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table :group A ,group B and group C .After induction of anesthesia ,the patients were intubated with double-lumen tube and OLV was performed .During OLV ,the lung on the operated side was collapsed naturally in group A ,positive pressure ventilation (FGF 2 L/min) was applied in the lung on the operated side in group B ,and high-frequency jet ventilation (frequency 100 beats/min ,driving pressure 0.5 kg/cm2 ) was used in the lung on the operated side in group C .Immediately after intubation (T0 ) , and at 1.5 h (T1 ) and 2 h (T2 ) of OLV ,blood samples were taken from the central vein and radial artery for determination of the serum interleukin-6 (IL-6 ) and IL-8 concentrations .The net release of IL-6 and IL-8 was calculated .Blood samples were taken from the radial artery at T0-2 for blood gas analysis and for determination of surfactant protein A (SP-A) concentration in the serum .Respiratory index (RI) was calculated .The non-cancer tissues 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm which were extracted from the lung cancer specimens were used for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of lungs which were scored .Results Compared with group A ,the net release of IL-6 and IL-8 ,serum SP-A concentration ,RI and pathological scores were significantly decreased at T1 ,2 in B and C groups ( P<0.05) .Compared with group B ,the serum SP-A concentration and RI were significantly decreased at T1 ,2 , and the net release of IL-6 was increased at T2 in group C ( P< 0.05 ) .Conclusion Continuous positive ventilation and high-frequency jet ventilation both can effectively protect the lungs on the operated side during OLV in patients undergoing thoracic surgery ,and the efficacy of high-frequency jet ventilation is better .

Kallistatin (Kal) is a negative acute phase endogenous protein which can inhibit tumor angiogenesis, growth and metastasis effectively. To express and purify recombinant human kallistatin (rHKal), and characterize its biological activity, P. pastoris was transformed with pPIC9-Kal/GS115 (His4) to express rHKal. The fermentation was carried out in a 7.5 L bioreactor with high density cell culture. 1%-2% methanol was added to the medium to induce the expression of rHKal. The secretion was purified with phenyl sepharose, G-25 sepharose, heparin sepharose and Sephacryl S-100 chromatography. The biological activity of purified bulk rHKal on HUVEC was evaluated with MTT and tube formation assays. The final expression of rHKal in the supernatant reached 50 mg x L(-1), the purity of bulk rHKal after purification was above 98%. A dose-dependent inhibition of rHKal on HUVEC proliferation was observed, however, a U-shaped dose-response curve of rHKal on capillary formation of HUVEC was revealed. The described protocol provides an effective means for preparing rHKal that could be used for anti-angiogenesis therapy in the future.

Objective To estimate and compare the equivalent dose between the intensity modula-ted radiotherapy (IMRT) and conventional radiotherapy (CR) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods The peripheral equivalent dose of NPC patients was measured by TLD during IMRT and CR. The whole-body equivalent dose was calculated. Results When prescribed tumor dose of 70 Gy was given, the mean number of accelerator output units were 25235 MU and 8575 MU, and the whole-body e-quivalent dose were 73.65 mSy and 15.28 mSy for IMRT and CR, respectively. Conclusion The equiva-lent dose in IMRT is 4.8 times higher than that in CR for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

To explore the effective components represented by fingerprint contributed to allelopathic effect of different Salvia miltiorrhiza aqueous concentration on seeds and seedlings of radish, grey relational analysis was used to establish the chromatography-efficacy relation. The results show that 15 peaks devote high allelopathic contribution to radish seeds and seedlings. The study will provide a new concept for allelochemicals screening and study.
