Objective To study the immune state and correlated strategy of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and primary hepatic carcinoma.Methods 17 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and 8 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC) in our hospital were collected since 2002.The indexcs of immune function were detected in all patients and some were re-examined.Results It was found that although the immune index varied in patients suffering from severe liver diseases,some regularities were shown as follows:(1)CD4 and CD4/CD8 in T lymphocyte subset declined markedly(P

Though prokaryotic cells could hardly express recombinant human beta nerve growth factor (rhNGF-?) with a proper three-dimensional conformation, using of E. coli as a host for industrial production of rhNGF-? is controversial. Recombinant human beta NGF was expressed in E. coli and was refolded in vitro. The isolated products was shown to be consistent with those expressed and secreted by CHO cells in biochemical characters by SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry, N terminal analysis and bioassay determined using DRG and PC12 cells. The products can be acquired with 95% purity, 1.8 ng/U biological activity from both expression system,which remain invariable biological activity when lyophilized in excipient and store at 37℃?2℃, RH 75%?5% for 3 months. Moreover, the product refolded from inclusion bodies of E. coli shows the predominance in homogeneity and the lower cost.

Objective: To summarize our experience on perioperative anesthesia management of patients with crush syndrome caused by earthquake under field condition. Methods: The clinical anesthesia data of 10 patients with crush syndrome caused by China Wenchuan earthquake, who were treated under field condition, were retrospectively analyzed, and our experience on perioperative anesthesia management was summarized. Results: After volume therapy, urine alkalization, and stabilization of internal environment, the 10 patients underwent debridement, decompression by fasciotomy or amputation under epidural anesthesia or brachial plexus block plus psychological therapy and moderate tranquillizer. During the operation, the patients showed smooth respiratory and cardiovascular characteristics without pain. Conclusion: Under field condition, regional anesthesia can provide adequate analgesic effect during and after the surgery. Early fluid resuscitation and life support are vital to the safety and life of patients.

Objective To discuss the application value of multi- position radiography in the diagnosis for fracture of rib.Methods 98 cases with integrated data of thoracic trauma undergone multi- position view X-ray from 2007 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.Results The percent of fractures with orthophoria view is 65.4%.The percents of fractures with oblique position,tangential projection and spot film under the X-ray fluoroscopy are 20.6%、5.1% 、8.8%,while doesn' t find the A-P position,The total percent is 34.6%.Conclusion Multi-position radiography can elevate the diagnosis for fracture of rib and has application value.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which affects more than 35 million people worldwide with increasing tendency. AD brings stupendous economic burden for both the society and family. It has become a major global public health issue. Electro-acupuncture (EA) therapy has been widely used in AD treatment with satisfactory results. Based on the basic research, this paper explored the therapeutic effect of EA in AD treatment from the learning ability and morphological changes in AD animal models. From the cholinergic neuronal apoptosis theory, inflammatory response theory, oxidative stress theory and other aspects, the action mechanism of EA in the treatment of AD animal models were reviewed. At last, limitations of EA in AD treatment were analyzed. It proposed the outlook of a new type of EA-music EA in AD treatment. It provided a new idea and method for AD clinical treatment.

The development and progress of gastric mucosal diseases is a complex process associated with multiple factors and underlying mechanisms,and individuals may present different genetic susceptibilities to gastric mucosal diseases. Various studies have demonstrated a strong link between Toll-like receptors( TLRs),as pattern recognition receptors,and the development and progress of gastric mucosal diseases. The gene polymorphisms of TLRs may change its encoded proteins or related signaling pathways,which results in different susceptibilities to gastric mucosal diseases;this might affect the development,progress and clinical outcome of the disease. In this review article,the advances in study on TLRs and its gene polymorphisms in gastric mucosal diseases were summarized.

Microcirculation is closely related to occurrence and development of disease, so it is of significance in noninvasive imaging of microcirculatory structure and function in vivo.Photoacoustic imaging is one of the main techniques in microcirculation imaging, which has the characteristics of high contrast, high detection depth and high sensitivity to tissue function.A review of the literature showed that photoacoustic technique can noninvasively image and quantitatively measure microcirculatory structure, vasoconstriction and vasodilation, concentration of hemoglobin, oxygen saturation, blood velocity and direction, oxygen metabolism level in a certain depth of living tissue in real time.Research progress in photoacoustic imaging of microcirculation in subcutis, cerebral cortex, tumor, eye and other tissues is reviewed in this paper.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of individualized enteral nutritional (EN) support in severe stroke patients.Methods: Totally 120 severe stroke patients with nutritional risk were divided into two groups according to single or double admission number.The 60 patients in the intervention group received an individualized EN with different formula and concentrations according to the clinical status,and supplemented trace elements as occasion required.In the routine group, the patients received EN with standard formula.The energy supply was 83-125 kJ· kg-1·d-1 in both groups.Blood albumin(Alb), pre-albumin(PA), hemoglobin(Hb) and vitamin C(VC) were examined before and after the 21-day nutritional support.The lung infection and gastrointestinal (GI) complications were observed, and the hospital stay and cost were recorded as well.Results: After 21 day''s nutrition support, the serum levels of Alb, PA and VC in the intervention group were not statisticly significant than before (P＞0.05), and the serum levels of Alb, PA and VC were significantly higher than those in the routine group(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in the in the intervention group was lower than that in the routine group (P＜0.05), and the length of hospital stay and hospitalization was shorter than that in the routine group (P＜0.05).Conclusion: Individualized enteral nutritional support can significantly improve nutritional status, reduce inflammation reactions and GI complications in severe stroke patients, which is worthy of clinical use.

Objective:To explore the effect between Xuezhikang and rosuvastatin on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) .Methods :A total of 90 patients with carotid atherosclerosis were randomly and equally divided into control group ,Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group according to number table .After six-month treatment ,changes of blood lipid levels and IMT were compared among three groups .Results:Compared with before treatment ,there were significant improvements in blood lipid levels (except high density lipoprotein cholesterol ) and IMT after six months in Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group , P<0.05~ <0.01 ;compared with control group after treat-ment ,there were significant reductions in levels of triglyceride [ (2.12 ± 0.97) mmol/L vs .(1.17 ± 0.47) mmol/L , (1.87 ± 0.97) mmol/L] ,total cholesterol [ (5.95 ± 0.65) mmol/L vs . (5.14 ± 0.71) mmol/L ,(4.75 ± 0.64) mmol/L] and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C , (3.64 ± 0.45 ) mmol/L vs . (3.01 ± 0.51 ) mmol/L , (2.15 ± 0.55) mmol/L] ,IMT [ (1.15 ± 0.15) mm vs .(1.01 ± 0.08) mm , (0.98 ± 0.02) mm] and total plaque score [ (6.10 ± 2.12) scores vs .(4.61 ± 2.08) scores , (4.59 ± 2.34) scores] in Xuezhikang group and rosuvastatin group , P<0.05~ <0.01 .After treatment ,there were no significant difference in above indexes between Xuezhi-kang group and rosuvastatin group ( P> 0.05 all) except that LDL-C level of rosuvastatin group was significantly lower than that of Xuezhikang group ( P< 0.05 ) .Conclusion:Both Xuezhikang and rosuvastatin can significantly improve carotid atherosclerosis ,and their therapeutic effects are equal .
