1.To study the variation of histological activity indices in chronic B hepatitis patients treated by limivudine
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):27-28
44 patients of chronic B hepatitis are divided into two groups of 22 patients. The one is treated with lamivudine (Jefflix) 100 mg daily in 12 months continuously and the other with usual vitamin and liver tonics. Results showed in 72.7% patients of lamivudine group, the indices of histological activities were improved (through Knodell score), while in controlled group – 31.8% and over the half of this group these indices worsened. Thus, lamivudine has got good effect

2.Analytical assessment of prognostic factors according to US Institute of Cancer in monitoring the treatment of 292 subjects of mast blastocytoma in pregnancy with the threshold of beta-HCG < 5 UI/l
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):29-32
292 patients with mast blastocytoma who were diagnosed after hydatiform pregnancy, after birth and post pregnancy basing on the examinations of beta-HCG, of matastasis and of anapathology, treated till beta HCG < 5 UI/l. According to US classification, the age of the group 1 (non metastasis ligh mast blastocytoma) is younger than group 2 (metastasis severe mast blastocytoma) and in the group 2 the duration from termination of pregnancy to detection of the condition is longer than group 1. In the group of mast blastocytoma of severe prognosis there are an uterus damage of chorion carcinoma, an invasive hydatiform pregnancy. The simple resistance to chemiotherapy is more dramatical in the group 2 than the group 1

3.Computer tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of tumors of surrenal gland - A propose of 55 cases
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):32-35
A retrospective study on 55 subjects with surrenal gland tumors diagnosed by CT showed that the tumors are commonly benign and pheocromocytoma was detected lately with a large size (> 3 cm, accounted for 73.5%). Heterogenous structure of the tumors before and after the injection of the contrasts showed characterustic sign of pheocromocytoma. The CT procedure has had a sensitivity of 100% and a positive predictive value of 89%. In the diagnosis of ganglion metastasis, these ratios were 2/3 and 99% respectively, in the evaluation of infiltration into the liver and the right kidney, these ratios were 58.30% and 95% respectively

Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):35-37
The study was carried out with healthy white mice of the strain of Swiss, weighed 202 g, fed properly in good supply of water and food. Results a pain relief and narcotic effects of the material. An intensive dose 200 times higher than usual clinical dose did not manifest toxicity in the animal

5.Some remarks on anesthesia and resuscitation in the transplantation of kidney in Military Hospital No103
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):38-40
From the first human case operated in Hospital No103 in June 11, 1992, till now, 19 cases of kidney transplantation were performed there. A 48 years old male patient with chronical kidney failure at end-stage was receive a procedure of anesthesia-resuscitation in the kidney transplantation at March 23, 2003. Authors noted that a safe and effective anesthesia depends on a good knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease, and the effect of uremia on the pharmacokinetic and the metabolism of anesthetic agents

6.The impairment of bacteriophage function and EA rosette formation of polynuclear neutrophil white blood cells in burning sepsis patients
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):40-41
A study was conducted on 28 burning sepsis patients treated at the National Institute of Burn. Results showed that their capacity of bacteriophage and of EA rosette formation of polynuclear neutrophil white blood cells was reduced in comparing with healthy patients and with other no burn sepsis patients, as well as burning no sepsis patients. Their white blood cells function restored gradually with the improvement of the condition. Thus the capacity of bacteriophage and EA rosette formation have reflected the state of burning conditions, and their monitoring can help the evaluation and prognosis

7.The anti- inflammation and pain relief effects of " Cau tich" in experiment
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):42-44
Cau tich fluid extract was studied on white mice. The dose of 4 g/kg of body weigh exerts against acute inflammation and relief the pain 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours after the onset of inflammation. On the experimental granuloma, Cau tich has a moderate effect on chronical inflammation. In experimental model of “hot plate” Cau tich manifests a pain relief effect centrally and peripherally

Retrospective description on 438 COPD patients showed that the disease occurs in male than in female subjects (male/female = 3.7 times), commonly in the year > 55 (85.3%). 153/210 patients (72.9%) have an obstructive ventilation disturbance. 142/210 patients (68.5%) have both Tiffeneau index and VC index decreasing and the Tiffeneau index decreased more dramatically than Gaensler index

9.To compare the active vascularity restoration in microtome flaps after pediculation of arteries and vena
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):46-49
66 flaps including 6 controlled, were divided into two models, each includes 30 flaps and each model was divided into 5 groups, evaluated after 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 days after implantation. From the random implantation of a isolated pedicle of artery or vena in an abdomen skin flap, new blood vessels occurred and connected with the existent system of vessels in the flap. After 20 days, new vascularity was established in both models, as the same in the control group. Blood supply was considered appropriate and the flap could be moved safely along the newly implanted pedicle

10.The relation of beta-hCG levels before the artificial abortion and fetal age and the number of removed tissue of hydatiform mole
Journal of Practical Medicine 2003;425(5):50-51
Study conducted on 57 cases of complete hydatiform mole, with the average fetal age of 13.5641.04 weeks (lowest 6 weeks, highest 20.5 weeks) beta-hCG average level 1158656.16246627.71 IU/l (min 79072 IU/l, max 5474400 IU/l), volume of removed tissue – min 100 ml, max 2500 ml). Results showed that the correlation between preevacuation beta-hCG level and removed tissue volume is higher than the correlation between gestational age and the number of evacuated mole. Between preevacuated beta-hCG level and gestational age the correlation is not valuable
