objective To assess relationship between microvascular changes of hemodynamics of the fingertip and evolution of hypertension in patients with essential hypertension(EH)by enhanced power Doppler imaging(E-Flow).Methods The right ring fingertip'S blood flow peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),resistance index(RI)of finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole in thirty-nine patients with EH were separately observed and were made contrast with 35 age-matched healthy subjects by E-Flow imaging.Results Compared with traditional colour Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging,E-Flow imaging was clearer to demonstrate the distribution and movement of the fingertip'S microvascular.It was shown that the PSV and EDV in the ring finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole of EH were decreased(P＜0.05),but the RI increased(P＜0.05),along with the evolution of EH.Conclusions Fingertip'S microvascular changes of hemodynamics could be a criterion to detect obstruction alternations of essential hypertension.E-Flow imaging iS superior to traditional color Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging in differentiating microvascular and could provide a new method in assessing microvacular changes of patients with EH for clinic.

Objective To investigate the change of plasma marinobufagenin (MBG) level and the expression of its receptor Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) in renal biopsy specimens of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) patients. Methods Twenty-eight CGN patients and 14 healthy people were enrolled in the study. The plasma MBG concentration was measured by competitive inhibition ELISA system. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining were applied to detect the expression of NKA in renal biopsy specimens of 28 CGN patients and analyzed by semi quantitively. Results Compared with healthy controls, CGN patients had significant lower plasma MBG concentration [(0.579±0.214) nmol/L vs (0.715±0.154) nmol/L, P＜0.05], without further significant difference between CGN patients with hypertension and with normal blood pressure [(0.595±0.231) nmol/L vs (0.557±0.197) nmol/L, P＞0.05]. Meanwhile, proximal tubular staining of NKA was decreased compared with normal controls. The NKA positive staining area of the CGN group was lower than that of normal controls [2.1% (0.5%-6.2%) vs 5.6% (3.5%-10.8%), P＜0.01] and correlated with 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (r=0.551, P＜0.01).Conclusion Decreased plasma MBG level and its receptor expression on proximal tubules may play a role in the regulation of sodium in CGN.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of plasma ionized calcium (ICa) and total calcium (TCa) measurement in diagnosis of tumor-associated hypercalcemia. Methods The heparin lithium anticoagulated plasma were collected and measured with ion selective electrode (ISE) and orthocresolphthalein complexone (OCPC) method for ICa and TCa in 77 patients with malignant tumor (tumor group) and 44 healthy controls (control group). Meanwhile,plasma albumin and pH value were measured to correct TCa (cTCa) and ICa(nICa). The results were analyzed. Results The levels of cTCa,ICa and nICa in tumor group were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜ 0.01 ) ,but there was no significant difference of TCa between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ). cTCa ＞ 2.70 mmol/L, nICa ＞ 1.35 mmol/L as the hypercalcemia eritical value, the positive rate of nICa and cTCa were 18.18% (14/77) and 6.49% (5/77)respectively,the difference was significant (P = 0.023). Conclusion Determination of ICa may be more clinical meaningful than TCa for tumor-associated hypercalcemia.

[Objective]To investigate the feasibility of screening for velamentous umbilical cord insertion in early pregnancy by ultrasound.[Methods]A total of 2,796 cases of pregnant women,2 998 cases of fetuses that underwent prenatal ultrasound screening in the early and middle stage pregnancy and delivered in Dalian Women and Children Healthcare Center were included. The results of ultrasound screening of umbilical cord insertion during early pregnancy(11~13+6 w)were divided into three groups. GroupⅠ:it is clear that the placenta of the umbilical cord is located in the fetal membranes ,and then along with the fetal membranes for a long distance,and then enter the placenta. GroupⅡ:The placenta of the umbilical cord is located at the edge of the placenta,and then insert point is not distinguished between the placenta and fetal membranes. Group Ⅲ:It is clearly shows that the umbilical cord inserted into the placenta.[Results]1. The display rate of the umbilical cord in early and mid pregnancy ultrasound examinationearly pregnancyan examination showed that the rate of 99.23%(2 975/2 998). The single child display rate of 99.77%(2 590/2 596),twindisplay rate of 95.96%(380/396),three fetal the rate of 83.33%(5/6).In the second trimester of pregnancy(22~26 w)and examination showed that the rate of 86.99%(2 608/2 998). The single child display rate of 90.99%(2 362/2 596),twin display rate of 61.61%(244/396),three fetal the rate of 33.33%(2/6). 2. The results of early pregnancy,pregnancy,the examination of after birth Regard?ing to early pregnancy,28 cases were included in GroupⅠ,42 cases in GroupⅡand 2928 cases in GroupⅢ. Regarding to second pregnancy,37 cases were evaluated as velamentous umbilical cord insertion,30 cases were evaluated as battledore placenta and 2931 cases were evaluated as normal placenta. The results of postnatal examination were as follows:36 cases were identified as velamentous umbilical cord insertion,30 cases were evaluated as battledore placenta and 2932 cases were evaluated as normal placenta. 3. Comparison of 3 groups,early pregnancy examination results and pregnancy and after the birth. In early pregnancy,28 cases of GroupⅠwere diagnosed as velamentous umbilical cord insertion in the examination during the second trimester of pregnancy and after delivery. In the 42 cases of early pregnancy in Group Ⅱ,7 cases were diagnosed as velamentous umbilical cord insertion ,22 cases were diagnosed as battledore placenta and 13 cases were normal placenta. After birth ,6 cases were diagnosed as diagnosed as velamentous umbilical cord insertion ,23 cases were battledore placenta and 13 cases were normal placenta. In the 2928 cases of early pregnancy of Group Ⅲ,2 cases were diagnosed as diagnosed as velamentous umbilical cord insertion ,8 cases were battledore placenta and 2918 cases were normal placenta. After birth ,2 cases were diagnosed as diagnosed as velamentous umbilical cord insertion,7 cases were battledore placenta and 2919 cases were normal placenta.The diagnostic accuracy of early pregnancy was 98.29%.[Conclusion]Application of HD-Flow blood flow pattern in early pregnancy can make a diagnosis of some of the sail-shaped placenta.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Hiru doid,Sufu and Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment on preventing peripheral chemothera?peutic phlebitis due to continuous infusion of 5?fluorouracil. Methods Totally 90 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with continuous infusion of 5?fluorouracil were recruited and randomly divided into Hirudoid group,Sufu group and Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment group, with 30 cases in each group. Three groups were applied with drugs respectively along the vein punctured while connecting the pump of 5?fluorouracil 3 times a day(each time interval of 6 hours)for 5 consecutive days. The occurrence of chemotherapy phlebitis was observed and recorded. Results Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment and Sufu were more effective than Hirudoid in reducing the incidence of phlebitis and relieving the degree of venous in?jury(P<0.05);however,there were no differences between Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment and Sufu(P>0.05). Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment was the most effective among the three in relieving the pain caused by phlebitis(P<0.05). There were no difference between Sufu and Hirudoid(P>0.05). Conclusion Musk Hemorrhoids Ointment can effectively prevent peripheral chemotherapeutic phlebitis caused by continuous infusion of 5?fluorouracil with affordable expense which is worthy of promotion in clinic use.

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Objective To observe the pronunciation characteristics of vowels' tone in prelingual hearing-impaired children accepted cochlear implant (CI). Methods 8 prelingual hearing-impaired children accepted CI aged 3~4 years (group CI) and 8 normal-hearing children (group NH) with the same age were asked to pronounce the vowels of /a/, /o/, /e/, /i/, /u/, and /ü/ in four tones with the direction of speech training teacher. The sounds were recorded and analyzed with Praat software extract Formants (F1, F2) and duration of the sounds. Results The error of vowels in four tones was more in group CI than in group NH, but difficult level was almost the same between groups. There was significant difference in the F1 of /e/, F2 of /i/ and /u/ in tone 2, F2 of /e/ and duration of /o/, /e/, and /ü/ in tone 3 between groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Pronouncing the four tones of vowels is more difficult for the hearing-impaired children. For vowels articulation training,it is important to focus on the mouth and breath training.
