Objective: To compare the ocular parameters of acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG). Methods: Totally 106 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma were recruited: 58 patients with AACG and 48 with CACG. All patients were divided into 3 groups: AACG attack eyes group, AACG uninvolved fellow eyes group and CACG group and underwent the same ophthalmic examinations, comprising optometry, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonography. The lens/axial length factor (LAF) and relative lens position (RLP) were calculated. Results: The AACG attack eyes had a significant shallow anterior chamber depth, thick lens, short axial length and larger LAF. hTere tended to be a reduction in the percentage of LAF>0.20 in AACG attack eyes, CACG eyes and AACG uninvolved fellow eyes, though there were no statistically signiifcant difference in all groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The eyes with AACG attack have a more crowded anterior chamber structure compared with uninvolved fellow eyes and eyes with CACG.

Objective To evaluate the increased carotid artery pulsatility index(PI) and resistance index (RI) in young obese males by Doppler ultrasound.Methods All of the volunteers without local and systemic disease included 48 young obese males (observation group) and 100 healthy males with the same age(control group).Common carotid artery had to come into practice in all of the volunteer by pulsed Doppler ultrasound to calculate the PI and R[.Results The average of RI,PI,body mass index (BMI),systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,fasting plasma insulin,fasting C-peptide,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high sensitivity C reactive protein in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group [0.70 ± 0.10 vs.0.60 + 0.10,1.48±0.30 vs.1.00 ± 0.10,(36.6 ± 3.4) kg/m2 vs.(23.6 ± 1.6) kg/m2,(127.5 ± 14.3) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(110.5 ± 11.0) mm Hg,(78.8 ±9.8) mm Hgvs.(69.9 ±7.6) mm Hg,(27.5 ± 19.6) mU/L vs.(8.8 +8.8) mU/L,(3.7 ± 1.6) pmol/L vs.(1.8 ± 1.2)pmol/L,(3.9 ± 2.0) mmol/L vs.(2.1 ± 1.3) mmol/L,(3.1 ± 0.7) mmol/L vs.(2.3 ± 0.7) mmol/L,(4.0 ± 4.4)mg/L vs.(1.3 ± 1.2) mg/L,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The characteristic of vascular properties in young obese males with normal blood pressure and without other cardiac risk factor is the decrease of blood wall compliance and the increase of resistance.The change of artery in the incipient properties in young obese males is the vascular function.Further studies will be required to prove thai whether early intervention will improve vascular function such as diet and practice.

Objective To explore the present state of clinical decision-making ability of nursing students in Sichuan Province. Methods The instrument for measuring the clinical decision-making ability of nursing students was adopted te investigate baccalaureate nursing students from four colleges and uni-versifies in Sichuan Province who had completed 10-12-month clinical practice. Results The overall mean score of clinical decision-making ability of baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province was (72.86± 4.53). Among the dimensions, the scoring rate of Goal-setting Ability Dimension was the highest and that of evaluation-feedback ability dimension the lowest. In terms of the qualification rate of clinical decision-making ability, 99.52% of the students were qualified (4.82% good and 94.7% passed) and 0.48% was unqualified. Conclusions Baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province have not showed a high level in clinical nursing decision-making ability and most of them are just qualified. No students have reached the level of excellence.

Background and purpose: Mouse osteosarcoma model was widely used in osteogenic malignant tumor research, and it was helpful for studying the invasion and metastasis of the tumor cells when it was well marked in vivo. The purpose of this study was to establish mouse sarcoma cell lines (S180) that were infected with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP). Methods: EGFP-S180 expressing strong EGFP fluorescence was acquired by electroblot, and supplemented with G418 (800 mg/mL), c-Myc was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Meanwhile, the cancer-bearing model was established subcutaneously within the abdominal cavity. Results: EGFP-S 180 cells were cloned. There was no significantly difference between c-Myc expressions in S180 cells and those in EGFP-S180 cells (P>0.05), and between the cancer-bearing time subcutaneously and the time within abdominal cavity (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to in vitro and in vivo assay, it showed that EGFP-expressing S180 cells could be used for studying further the tumor biological behavior with fluorescence technology.

Current anti-hepatoma agents in clinical aplication have not been proved to be satisfactory. The major obstacles are low efficacy, toxicity, and drug resistance. Identifying new drug targets and discovering new agents accordin gly with high efficacies and low toxicities have become the key part of the solu tion. Recent studies have shown that hyper-methylation of tumor suppressor gene s, interaction between hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor, as well as cyclooxygenase-2 might be potential targets for hepatomachemotherapy. Indeed, agents acting on these targets have shown to be effective. In addition, other agents such as As 2O 3 have also shown th eir activities against hepatoma.

The normal arterial patterns in the left ventricle wall of 100 rabbit hearts were studied by means of postmortem coronary angiography, the clearing method and histological sections, and in comparison with that of the human heart.The intramural arterial patterns in the left ventricle of rabbit heart are similar to human heart in many ways. "Branching" type arteries (Class A vessels) supply the whole myocardium, including the subendocardial zone, while "straight" type arteries(Class B vessels)mainly supply the papillary muscle and trabeculae carneae where they form the subendocardial plexus. The arterial type in papillary muscles may be classified into segmental pattern, axial pattern and mixed pattern. The arterial distribution in the interventricular septum is without rule. The capillaries in all areas run parallel with the myocardial fibres and show cross connexions somewhere.
