Objective The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing worldwide, and also in china. The characteristics of the cancer are: short course, rapid progress and high mortality, with median survival time of about 6 months. Unfortunately, the early symptoms of patients are not peculiarity. There are not simple, direct and effective methods of early diagnosis. When the patients have jaundice and abdominal pain, probably they are the advanced disease (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ) ,with unresectable tumours,and have to perform biliary bypass operation for alleviative treatment. Furthermore, the most of all patients exhibit advanced disease, which is often associated with a reduced performance status, malnourished condition, immune function deficiency, all of which severely limit patients tolerance for toxic chemotherapy regimens. These may result in physiological problems that can alter the metabolism and distribution of cytotoxic drugs and therefor lead to an increase in treatment-related toxicity. Purpose To explore the effect of TPN in the post-palliative operations, Roux-en-Ycholedceho-jejunostomy, of advaneed pancreatic carcinoma patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods From Jan. 1996 to Jan. 1999, 40 cases had receiving combination chemotherapy after palliative operations for relief of jaundice by biliary hypass, and surgical biopsy for histologically cemented. The patients were randomly divided inter 2 groups: (1) treatment group (chemotherapy + TPN), 12 men and 8 women had a median age of 57.8 years old. (2) Control group (chemotherapy + routine treatment), 13 men and 7 women had a median age of 58.2 years old. All the patients received combined chemotherapy, the regimen was 5-Fu+ CF + MMC + DDP/EPI (5-fluorouracil + Calcium folniate + Mitomycin C + Cisplatin or Epirubicin ) or IFN-γ (interferon-γ). Dosages of drugs were modified for bone marrow toxicity, stomatits and declining performance status. After 28 days, the regimen performed once again. The regimen of TPN was: total caloric value (NPC) 20 Kcal/kg·d, nitrogen 0.2kg/kg·d, N/Q = 1g: 125Kcal, Glucose/Fat=6:4. The nutritional & immunological parameters, quality of life, effects of treatment wrer monitored. Results Treatemnt group is superior to control group. After TPN, serum pre. albumin, transferrin concentration, retinol-binding protein, total lymphocyte count, natural killer cells activity, IL-2R+ cells (CD25) percentage of peripheral blood, grades of quality of life and survival time increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01 respectively). However, no significant difference was observed in IFN-γ application group (P>0.05). Conelusions The nutritional support can improve nutritional and immune situation and quality of life, and prolong the survival time of the patients, but no relapse-free survival.

Twenty four hours after occluding of the middle cerebral artery in rats, thecirculating neutrophils were in activated state and the lipidperoxidation increased in ische-mic brain tissue. Tanshinone inhibited the chemoluminescence of the circulating neutrophilphagocytosis and decreased leukocyte infiltration in infarcted brain tissue. It alsodecreased lipoperoxide, malondialdehyde and increased SOD activity in ischemic cerebralregion. In addition, it reduced cerebral infarction size in the model. The correlationbetween inhibitory effects on leukocyte and reduction in ischemic cerebral damage wassignificant. Dexamethasone used as a positive control had similar effects on neutrophils andischemic cerebral injury. It was shown that the prophylactic effcts of Tanshinone oncerebral infarction might be mainly due to its inhibition on leukocyte function.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between Narcotrend index (NI) and the depth of anesthesia during inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and compare NI with BIS values in patients.Methods Sixtytwo ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-60 yr,weighing 44-100kg,scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Sevoflurane inhalation was started at 5 min after endotracheal intubation.When the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (ETsevo) reached 0.6％,0.9％,1.3％,1.6％,2.1％,2.4％,2.9％,3.2％,3.8％ and 4.2％,NI and BIS values were recorded simultaneously.Results The correlation coefficients between ETsevo and NI and BIS values were-0.627 (r1) and-0.669 (r2) respectively when ETsevo ＜ 2.9％,and-0.608 (r3) and-0.230 (r4) respectively when 2.9％ ≤ ETsevo ≤4.2％ (P ＜ 0.01).Comparison of the absolute value of correlation coefficients:no significant difference was found between r1,r2 and r3 (P ＞ 0.05) ; r1,r2 and r3 were significantly greater than r4 (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion When ETsevo 4.2％,NI values can accurately reflect the depth of anesthesia; when 2.9％ ≤ ETsevo ≤4.2％,the accuracy of NI values in monitoring the depth of anesthesia is superior to that of BIS values.

OBJECTIVE To compare the BacT/Alert FN with Botai SN anaerobic blood culture bottles for detection of commonly encountered anaerobes.METHODS Using these two types of anaerobic bottles to culture 5 commonly encountered anaerobes in automatic blood culturing system and BacT/Alert system,and then to analyze the results.RESULTS There were all 32 anaerobic bottles reported positive results by BacT/Alert FN bottles,and only 8 positive bottles were reported by Botai SN bottles.CONCLUSIONS The performance of the BacT/Alert FN is much better than Botai SN anaerobic blood culturing bottle when it is used to detect commonly encountered anaerobes.

With the rapid development of Picture Achieving and Communication System(PACS), the interpretation of medical images has been changing rapidly from a procedure based on films and light boxes to one based on computers and medical displays. The function parameters of Soft-Copy Reading carriers——medical grayscale display play an important part in radiodiagnosis because they can greatly influence the quality of medical image. It is very easy for quantitative assessment of this influence by using ROC curve theory, and it can direct hospital to select suitable medical display.

Objective To compare the effects of closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nail and percutaneous minimally invasive locking compression plate in treatment of tibial fractures.Methods 70 patients with tibial fractures were selected as research subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the digital table,each group in 35cases.The control group was treated with closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nail,while the observation group was treated with percutaneous minimally invasive locking compression plate.Then,the operation index,postoperative complications,treatment effect after treatment between two groups were compared.Results The operation time,fracture healing time,length of stay in the observation group were less than those in the control group[(70.37±11.06)min vs.(82.13±12.15)min,(3.02±0.61)month vs.(4.21±0.70)month,(13.39±3.02)d vs.(16.26±3.21)d](t=4.234,3.852,7.582,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[14.28%(5/35) vs.51.42%(18/35)](χ2=10.943,P<0.05).The excellent rate in the observation group was statistically higher than that in the control group[94.28%(33/35) vs.74.28%(26/35)](χ2=5.285,P<0.05).Conclusion Closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nail and minimally invasive percutaneous locking compression plate are successful in the treatment of tibial fracture,but interlocking intramedullary nail easily leads to delayed healing,complications and higher rate of surgery two times,while minimally invasive percutaneous locking compression plate can promote healing,curative effect is better.
