OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of levofloxacin and sparfloxacin in the treatment of non?gonococcus urethritis(cervicitis)patients.METHODS:The clinical data of levofloxacin and sparfloxacin in the treatment of nongonococcus urethritis were collected with evidence-based medicine method and were evaluated with pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness analysis.RESULTS:The cure rates of two drugs were71.16%(62.00%,80.32%),81.69%(78.71%,85.21%)and cost-effectiveness ratios were2.29and2.71respectively.The?C/?E was5.57.CONCLUSION:The cost-ef?fectiveness ratio of levofloxacin was lower than that of sparfloxacin although the cure rate of sparfloxacin for nongonococcus urethritis was better.

0.05).The most common adverse reactions of imiquimod were erythema,erosion,itching,excoriation,scabbing and oedema,those of podophyllotoxin were burning sensation,inflammation,erosion,pain,itching and bleeding.The incidence of ADR of podophyllotoxin was higher.Cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that the C/E of imiquimod and podophyllotoxin was36.88and8.15respectively.CONCLUSION:Imiquimod and podophyllotoxin possessed similar curative effect on condylo?ma acuminatum,but the cost and C/E of podophyllotoxin were lower.At the same time,podophyllotoxin had more serious ad?verse reactions.

Objective To compare the clinical feature and cognitive function between patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder of different onset age and explore possible subtype.Methods 140 Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were enrolled in test.All finished a series of tests including clinical feature,Trail-making test (TMT),Tower of Hanoi (TH) and Word fluency test (WFT).Patients were divided into two groups by onset age of 18.Results Compared with patients of onset age after18,patients of onset before18 were more with episode duration and more suicide attitude( x2 =4.214,x2 =11.542,P＜ 0.05 ).In TMT patients of onset before 18 had shorter time and little errors( (81.696 ±50.172)vs( 109.114 ±48.070),(1.169 ±2.983) vs ( 1.405 ± 2.020),P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Obsessive-compulsive disorder with different onset age may be different type.

Although autoallergic neural transplantation Is a gold standard to repair neurologic defect, nerve tissue engineering becomes an ideal replacement due to a limited collection of nerve. Nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system promotes axonal regeneration via a scaffold to slowly release nerve growth factor and to create a suitable microenvironment for nerve growth. There are various materials and methods for creating nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system; therefore, choosing a good material and a good method to control nerve growth factor and to cause excellent repairing effect are hot topics for researching nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system. The aim of this review is to introduce the new methods and technologies applied in the delivery system of nerve growth factors in recent years. This review also attempts to classify the strategies of drug delivery of nerve growth factor in a new way.

Objective To review the recent studies about sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer. Methods The literatures in recent years on the history, concept, technique and clinical application of sentinel lymph node biopsy were reviewed and summarized.Results There was no unified method for sentinel lymph node biopsy. There was a wide range of detection rate and false negative rate.Conclusion Prospective multi center random clinical trials will help to evaluate the clinical application of sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Objective To investigate the factors relevant to the vascular calcification in uiemic patients.Methods Eighty-five uiemic patients were enrolled in this study.The levels of fetuin-A,serum calcium,serum phosphorus,C-reactive protein and other parameters related to calcification were examined.B-ultrasound was used to detect carotid plaques.Results The Fetuin-A levels in patients with vascular calcification were significantly lower than those with non-vascular calcification[(2.34±0.95) μg/L vs (3.79±1.19) μg/L,t=5.94,P＜0.01],but serum calcium,serum phosphorus and C-reactive protein were higher than those non-vascular calcification [serum phosphorus (1.97±0.23) mmol/L vs (1.80±0.33) mmol/L,t=2.05,P＜0.05;calcium and phosphorus product (50.04±6.61) mg~2/dl~2 vs (44.84±9.75) mg~2/dl~2,t=2.05,P＜0.05;C-reactive protein (33.45±25.11)mmol/L vs (20.65±13.43) mmol/L,t=2.03,P＜0.05].Linear correlation analysis indicated that low fetuin-A level was correlated with C-reactive protein (r=-0.43,P＜0.01),calcium-phosphorus product (r=-0.32,P＜0.01),serum albumin concentration (r=0.37,P＜0.05) and phosphorus level (r=-0.36,P＜0.05).Conclusions The risk factors relevant to the vascular calcification are high serum phosphorus,calcium and phosphorus product and the micro-inflammatory status in uiemic patients.Vascular calcification is also correlated with low fetuinA level,adding exogenous Fetuin-A may become an effective means in preventing vascular calcification.

With the mature of techniques and development of equipments in excimer laser corneal refractive surgery,the postoperative complications are decreasing gradually.As the center of cornea become thin after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)and laser subepithelial keratomileusis ( LASEK ),the strength of cornea and the intraocular pressure relatively step down,which can cause cornea anterior protrusion more or less.Because the posterior surface which is not directly affected by surgical process and healing process,so it is usually used to evaluate the protrusion of cornea.As the application of.ophthalmic anterior segment imaging and analysis system,we can get more message of cornea posterior surface.The manifestation,principle and precautionary measures of corneal posterior surface anterior protrusion after the excimer laser corneal refractive surgery were reviewed.

The intestine microbiota and the host interacts with each other.Resently,the association and causality between gut microbiota and cardiovascular diseases have been well studied.Some underlying mechanisms,especially metabolic pathways are known, including the role of trimethylamine N-oxide in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic heart disease and heart failure and that of short chain fatty acids and their receptors in blood pressure regulation.
