0.05), indicating that the functional reserve of PRL, TSH and ACTH cells were normal in IGHD patients. Except the ratio of peak and basal level, all the other five indices of the LH response to LHRH were significantly lower in IGHD patients than in normals of puberty. The functional reserve of LH cell was low in about 2/3 IGHD patients. These results might explain the delayed or no puberty in adult IGHD patients.

Objective To study the correlations between diopter,axis length,cornea curvature and thickness in myopia patients. Design Prospective case series.Participant 300 myopic patients who were ready for LASIK.Method 300 myopic patients who were ready for LASIK were selected randomly.They were divided into four groups according to the diopter of myopia:low myopia group (≤-3.00D)41 cases,medium myopia group(＞-3.00D,≤-6.00D)130 cases,high myopia group(＞-6.00D,≤-9.00D)95 cases,and super myopia group(＞-9.00D)34 cases.The axis length,cornea thickness,cornea eurvture and diopter of myopia were detected. Through analysis of variance(ANOVA),Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis,the correlations between axis length, cornea thickness,curvature and diopter of myopia were made out in four groups.Main Outcome Measure Diopter of myopia,cornea curvature,axis length of eye and central cornea thickness.Result The axis length of low myopia group,medium myopia group,high myopia group and super myopia group was(24.32?1.73)mm,(25.33?1.49)mm,(26.04?1.92)mm,(27.47?2.57)mm respectively. There were obvious differences of axis lengths between four groups(P=0.000).The cornea curvature in high myopia group was obviously different from those in low myopia group and medium myopia group.There were no significant differences of cornea thickness among four groups(P=0.409).The axis lengths of eyes respectively had correlations with diopters(r=0.734,P=0.000),vertical and horizontal cornea curvatures(r=-0.312,P=0.000;r=-0.328,P=0.000).Conclusion The main effective factor on the diopter of myopia is the axis length for most patients.For the patients with high myopia,the cornea curvature is another effective factor.With the increase of axis length,the cornea curvature decreases,and the cornea turns flatter.(Ophthalmol CHN,2006,15:321-323)

10-15 years were 7 cases(6.3%),they were randomly divided into treatment group and contol group.The treatment group with 60 patients were given INF-? and polyresistin,age 3 years,given IFN-? 200 000 U per day;and polyresistin 5 mg per time,3 times every day,the course of therapy were 5 days.The control group was given traditional Chinese medicine at the same time.Results After therapy,in treatment group,53 cases(88.3%) of children′s cooling time were lower than 5 days,47 cases(78.3%) of children′s rash subsided time were lower than 6 days,48 cases(75%) of children′s Catarrhal symptoms disappeared time were lower than 5 days,and the rate of complications′ occurrence were 15 cases(18.3%).In control group,28 cases(53.8%) of children′s cooling time were lower than 5 days,14 cases(26.9%) of children′s rash subsided time were lower than 6 days,28 cases(53.8%) of children′s Catarrhal symptoms disappeared time were lower than 5 days,and the rate of complications′ occurrence were 37 cases(71.5%),there were significant differences between both groups(Pa

Objective To observe the effects of one kind of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE1) drugs fosinopril (FOS) on transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)and β1- integrin( Itg-31 ) expression in rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMC)induced by lipopolysacchatide (LPS).Methods We established the cultured glomerular mesangial cells of rat in vitro and passages 3 ～ 10 of cells were used in the experiment after identification.The experiment included the following groups:Control group,LPS induced group (LPS group) and FOS intervened group.According to the different concentrations of FOS,FOS intervened group was divided into high,middle and low dose FOS groups,which were FOS1 group,FOS2 group and FOS3 group respectively.The changes of TGF-β1 protein secretion was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay; The changes of TGF-β1 and Itg-β1 mRNA expression was detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR.Results (1) TGF-β1protein secretion in rat GMC at 6h,12h,24h three time points:They were 958.55 ± 34.67 ( ng/L),1052.05 ±48.59( ng/L),1166.06 + 35.39 (ng/L) respectively in Control group.They were 1342.12 + 39.87 ( ng/L),1432.31 + 39.33 (ng/L) and 1 537.77 + 43.79 (ng/L) respectively in LPS group,which were higher significantly than those in Control group ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).They were 779.58 ± 48.64 ( ng/L),878.33 ± 29.50 (ng/L) and 962.57 ±31.94( ng/L) in FOS1 group,989.311±73.56(ng/L),1073.29±66.89(ng/L) and 1210.75 ±61.68(ng/L) in FOS2 group,1 253.78 ±45.32( ng/L),1 348.18 ±45.81 (ng/L) and 1450.06 ±46.24( ng/L) in FOS3 group respectively,which were lower significantly in all FOS intervened groups than that in LPS group (all P＜O.01).(2)TGF-β1 mRNA expressions in rat GMC at6h,12h,24h three time points were higher significantly than that in Control group.TGF-β1 mRNA expressions were lower significantly in all FOS intervened groups than that in LPS group.( 3 ) Itg-β1 mRNA expressiones in rat GMC at 6h,12h,24h three time points were higher significantly than that in Control group.Itg-β1 expressions were lower significantly in all FOS intervened groups than that in LPS group.Conclusions LPS can induce the increase of TGF-β1 secretion and mRNA expression.FOS can inhibit the TGF-β1 secrection and mRNA expession in GMC as dose-dependent manner,at the same time down regulated the Itg-β1 mRNA expression iuduced by LPS.All above supply the theoretical evidence for the renal protection of FOS by non-hemodynamics mechanism.

Epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and treatment data, as well as outcomes of 66patients diagnosed as brucellosis during 1984 to 2010 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-four (51.5%) patients had a history of close contact with sheep or cows infected with brucellosis, eight (12. 1% ) had eaten not-fully-boiled or roasted mutton, three (4. 5% ) had drunk or contacted with contaminated milk, and transmission route was unknown in 21 (31.8%). The most common manifestations were fever ( 97.0%, 64/66 ), loss of appetite and fatigue ( 93. 9%, 62/66 ),sweating (47.0%, 31/66), myalgia and arthralgia (54. 5%, 34/66 ), hepatomegaly (27.3%, 18/66),splenomegaly (37.9%, 25/66), increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (62. 1%, 41/66), and elevated C-reactive protein (65.4%, 34/52). Average interval from onset to diagnosis was 19. 2 weeks. All 66 patients were positive in serum agglutination test for BruceUa, and 28 (42. 4% ) positive in blood or bone marrow culture for Brucella. Sixty-five of 66 patients were treated by standard combined treatment with rifampicin, quinolone, minocycline and streptomycin, with all effective, and only four with mild liver damage in treatment who got better after discontinuing medicines and changing treatment regimen.

For more than 40 years primary hepatocytes culture technique has been utilized extensively for assessing effects of drug on metabolizing enzymes (especially cytochromes P450), drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and the mechanisms of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Human derived primary hepatocytes reserve the metabolism function and enzyme activity of liver. Therefore, this technique has been widely used as a reliable and efficient tool in the drug and xenobiotics evaluation and screen in vitro. This review focuses on primary culture technique of hepatocytes and its application in drug metabolism and toxicology research and evaluation.

Purpose To compare the pathological differences between cervical high-grade intraepithelial lesions (CHGIL) positive resection surgical margin after cold knife conization and total hysterectomy,and to explore how to take further clinical treatment measures.Methods The pathologic results of 74 patients with CHGIL positive surgical margin after cold knife conization and hysterectomy were analyzed retrospectively.Results There was a correlation between positive cervical incision margin and residual uterine lesion (P ＜ 0.01).Age,menopause status,gland involvement did not related to residual uterine lesions(P ＞ 0.05).There was significant correlation between the lesion-related quadrant and the residual rate of uterine lesion (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Cold knife conization and hysterectomy are safe and effective treatments for CHGIL.However,for the positive resection surgical margin after cold knife conization cases,hysterectomy should be carefully chosen and may choose conservative treatment or re-cone cutting.

Problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method combined with formative evalua-tion was used in the teaching practice of pediatrics education. This method was implemented by four phases: courses designing, group-preparing, problems-organizing and teaching practice. The method was evaluated by students' feedback and survey results of patients, teachers and teaching councilors. It was showed that the teaching effects of PBL combined with formative evaluation was better than tra-ditional teaching method in pediatrics teaching.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of pendulum and straight wire technology in patients with fully erupted second molar.MethodsPatients with Angle class Ⅱ malocclusion were chosen.Control group included patients without erupted second molar.Experimental group included patients with completely erupted second molar.Pendulums were used in two groups to distalize maxillary molars.Then straight wire orthodontic treatment had been performed until treatment was over.Cephalograms of each stage were analyzed.ResultsIn the experimental group,mesiobuccal cusp of first molar was distalized for 4.62 mm,geometric center was distalized for 3.75 mm,about 81 percent of the movement of mesiobuccal cusp.In control group,mesiobuccal cusp of first molar was dis talized for 5.78 mm,geometric center was distalized for 3.20 mm,about 55 percent of the movement of mesiobuccal cusp.It turned out first molar was distalized in both groups,but more rotation took place in control group than that in the experimental group.ConclusionsPendulum can distalize maxillary first and second molars in patients with completely erupted second molar.The pendulum and straight wire technology can treat these patients successfully.
