Developing Management information systems(MIS) is one ofthe major projects in building disease control computer network.Because MIS has both technology and management specialities, ac-tually it is a very complex system engineering to develop. In thispaper, some key problems in the process of developing MIS of dis-ease control computer network are discussed.

[Summary] When accompanied with pulmonary disease ,the lung functions of diabetic patients usually represent decreases of diffusing capacity ,ventilation function ,bronchomotor tone and respiratory muscles. The mechanisms of lung damage may include non‐enzymatic glycosylation of proteins ,oxidative stress ,IR ,local defensive ability change ,and autonomic neuropathy. Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for lung function damage ,and lung function damage is an independently predictive factor of diabetes mellitus. The change of lung function in diabetic patients is associated with age ,duration ,blood glucose level and complications.

To review the outcome of the endovascular treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease,the recent literature concerning endovascular treatment as well as aortoiliac occlusive disease was extensively reviewed,and the research and development were summarized.The results are:(1) In most cases,endovascular invention is better than surgery ; (2) Stent placement has a higher technical success rates and a better longterm outcome than percutaneous transluminal angioplasty,primary or selective stent placement,which is better,is controversial; (3)Covered stents perform better than bare stents in longer-term patency and clinical outcome ; (4)Endovascular treatment of complex AIOD provides excellent early and long-term results,similar to those obtained in the treatment of simple lesions.So,in general,endovascular treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease provides excellent clinical results,further research is needed.

Rapid involution of the thymus was induced in SD rats after administration of high-dose estradiol benzoate. The prominent histological changes observed were as follows: (1) the thymic cortex was become thinner; (2) the corticomedullary ratio was decreased; and (3) a substantial loss of cortical lymphocytes occurred. As a consequence, marked reduction in thymus weight was caused. Under electron microscope, the epithelial reticular cells (ERCs) were found, to be a heterogenous cell group. Their responses to high-dose estradiol were different from each other, and the distinctive changes observed were: (1) cell degeneration changes in some pale ERCs were observed; (2) the other pale ERCs were found to be filled with lower density vacuoles which were very similar to secretory vacuoles; and (3) the dark ERCs were inereased obviously, and many collagen fibril bundles were seen in the vicinity of their perikarya or wrapped by their cytoplasmic processes. There were no striking ultrastructural changes in thymocytes. However, the number of ANAE positive cells in the experimental group was lower than that of the controls evidently. In addition, a large number of plasma cells were observed in the cortex of the experimental group. Based on the above mentioned observations, the possible mechanism of the estradiol effect on the thymus involution was discussed.

BACKGROUND: Fibromyalgia is a kind of non-articular rheumatism,manifested as pain and stiffness in various parts of body, associated with sleep disturbance, fatigue, etc. But, the therapeutic effects of common therapies are not satisfactory.OBJECTIVE: To compare dermal neurological electric stimulation and electric acupuncture with routine medication and explore the therapeutic effects on fibromyalgia syndrome (FS).DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment was designed, in which the patients were taken as the objects in observation.SETTING: First and Third Hospital Affiliated to Xinxiang Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 66 cases of FS were selected in Clinic of Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from July 1994 to May 2002, all of which were the followed-up cases.They were randomized as dermal-neurological eleetric stimulation group (DE group), electric acupuncture group (EA group) and medical group, 22cases in each one. The patients were aged varied from42 to 55 years and sick in range from 7 to 13 months.METHODS: ① DE group: FZ-1 low-frequency pulsating apparatus was used. Two pairs of electrodes were attached to two pairs of main points that were near to the most distinct pain points and another pair was attached to 1 pair of supplementary points. Continuous wave was selected, pulsating width was 6-150 ms, high frequency 100 Hz and 15 minutes later,changed to low frequency 2 Hz, for another 15 minutes, intensity about (14±3) mA, once/d, continuously for 20 days as one session, totally 2 sessions were required. 4-day rest was demanded between two sessions. ② EA group: No.28 filiform needle was used to be inserted on the points deeply,after qi arrival; G-6805 electric apparatus was applied on the points. Point selection, operation and time 9f treatment were same as DE group. ③ Medical group: Oryzanol and Vit B1 were administrated orally, 30 mg/tablet,3 times a day. Amitriptyline was administrated, 10 mg every day at beginning, increased by 10 mg every day till to 20-30 mg. It was taken orally once before sleep, totally for 45 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of therapeutic effects on analgesia in each group. ② Comparisons of follow-up visits of cured cases and cases with remarkable effects in 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment.RESULTS: Totally 66 cases all entered the result analysis. ① Comparison of total effective rate of analgesia: The rates in DE group and EA group were higher significantly than medical group (100% ,95.5% ,68.2%;X2=18.03,17.27,P ＜ 0.01). ② Comparison of recurrence rate: The rates in DE group and EA group in 24 months after treatment were lower remarkably than medical group (7.1%,6.1%,50.0%;X2=7.01,6.91 ;P ＜ 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both dermal electric stimulation and electric acupuncture present strong analgesia and low recurrence rate. Dermal neurological electric stimulation on acupoints is a kind of non-traumatic method in treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome.

Patients with diabetes are prone to combine postprandial hypotension, the reason may be related to diabetic autonomic nerve lesions, but the mechanism is not clear. However, literature published so far is limited on this issue. This paper will combine the past research results, discuss the correlation, and make a review of treatment, aimed at emphasizing its importance and proper management.

AIM: To study whether the excitatory amino acids (EAAs)-triggered excitotoxicity contribute to the evolution of hyperbilirubinemia-associated brain injury. METHODS: Newborn rabbits with hyperbilirubinemia were decapitated and then, Na~+-K~+-ATPase activities, neurotransmitters and non-neurotransmitters concentration in brains were determined. RESULTS: It was found that the activities of Na~+-K~+-ATPase both in brains and cytomembrane and the amounts of glutamate (P

Fetal inflammatory response syndrome is a sub-clinical state that cause fetal immune sys-tem could be activated and released large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines.Either caused by infection of factors such as chorioamnionitis,fetal sepsis or non-infectious factors such as asphyxia,chronic lack of oxy-gen,which are likely to cause neurological damage in preterm or full-term children .This article reviewed the progress on the mechanism of neonatal encephalopathy caused by fetal inflammatory response syndrome.
