Objective:To investigate the clinic characters and diagnosis of Diabetic amytrophy.Methods:Two cases were systematically studied by the authors.Results:All the two cases were senile patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The clinical manifestations include chronic and subacute proximal amytrophy,weakness and pain of lower limbs,There were no specific auxiliary examination.Conclusion:Diabetic amyotrophy is often misdiagnosed.And careful history inquiry and physical examination can contribute to identification at an early stage,excluding other differential diagnosis.

The proliferative response of splenic lymphocytes to Con A in Wistar rat was significantly enhenced after x-irradiation of the head with 10 Gy. At a cell concentration of 5?10~6 per ml, the ratio of 3~H-TdR incorporation between the irradiated head group and whole-body shielded group was 3.20(P

The HIV-1 capsid protein plays a crucial role in viral infectivity, assembling into a fullerene cone that encloses the viral RNA and it has gained attention as a promising therapeutic target. Research has been focused on the spatial structures of capsid proteins in recent years, and peptides and small molecules targeting capsid have been discovered. In this article, it summarizes the structure information of capsid protein, analyzes and compares the binding information of different peptides and small molecules targeting capsid. At the same time we give the perspective to the future drug discovery based on the protein-protein interaction during the maturation process.

The abnormal changes of tumor suppressor genes such as deletion mutant,transcription inactivation or silence on human chromosome 3p (pter) are considered as a key step which is closely related to the tumorigenesis of several kinds of cancers,especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma,one kind of renal cancer.And on this basis,it has been confirmed that the deletion and downregulation of multiple 3p genes such as VHL,RASSF1A,SEMA3B,SETD2,PBRM1,NPRL2 and so on,play a vital important role in the tumorigenesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.And they provide a further way to explain the molecular mechanism of the tumorigenesis of kidney cancer.However,when the regulatory pathway and mechanism research of some genes are known to us,the other genes,especially those newly founded,which are still not clear and need to be further investigated.

BACKGROUND: Autism is a kind of severe growth and development disorder that occurs in the infant period. It is basically characterized by social communication disorder, language development disorder, narrow area of interest, and stereotyped and repeated behavior to different extents, and is increasing in the worldwide. Education training is still taken as the major for the rehabilitation therapy of autism.OBJECTIVE: Case analysis is performed to provide elicitation for mainstreaming education training of children with autism and proper suggestions for education worker and children patients' parents.DESIGN: Case analysis.SETTING: Department of Rehabilitation, Nanjing Technical College of Special Education; Nanjing Shangxinhe Primary School.PARTICIPANTS: One male child patient, born in June 1998, was diagnosed as autism by Shenyang Children's Hospital. They met the diagnostic criteria of infantile autism of the 4th edition of diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (1994, USA).METHODS: Comprehensive intervention was performed in the child with autism for 5 months. Education measures consist of: ① to well accept class learning. ② showing merits in class. ③ to well apply learning contents in life. ④ to establish friendship. ⑤ to establish good behaviors and eliminate abnormal behaviors. ⑥ to pay more attention in class.⑦ to train the perceptivity in class. ⑧ to choose proper examination methods. ⑨ to establish pleasant and confluent plate time. The procedures were as follows: we had one telephone interview to the teachers and parents of child patient every day, one face-to-face communication with the teachers, parents and classmates of child patient every week. Education strategy was regulated in time aiming to the concrete condition of child patient.Wechsler Intelligence scale was used to measure the intelligence quotient (IQ) at the beginning and end of the experiment. The changes in behavioral performance in class and playtime of patient were summed up.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patient at the end of the experiment. ② Changes in the behavioral performance of patient in class. ③ Changes in the behavioral performance of child patient in playtime.RESULTS: ① Measurement results of Wechsler IQ of patients at the end of the experiment were as follows: verbal IQ 80 points, performance IQ 110 points, full scale IQ 95 points. There was 30-point discrepancy between performance IQ and verbal IQ, and 9 points between the highest and lowest scores. The imbalance of intelligence development had turned better.② Changes in behavioral performance in class: The child patient was basically the same as other children. He could attend a class silently, followed the teacher to learn, did not disturb class, and show his brilliance with proper style. ③ Changes in the behaviors in playtime: made friends; was interested and participated in the games of the classmates, entered the classroom when he heard the ring without the help from the teacher.CONCLUSION: After 5-month rehabilitation training, the mainstreaming status of patient with autism is significantly improved as compared with before intervention. Application of various rehabilitation-training methods can improve the education effect of patient with autism.

Objective To investigate the value of DNA image cytometry in thediagnose of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids by comparing with the liquid-based cytological results. Methods There were 417 cases in-volved in this study. Pap stain for cytology analysis and feulgen stain for DNA image cytometry were used to identify benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids respectively,then compared the results of the two methods. Results Clinically or pathologically,213 were classified as malignant and the other 204 as benign. The sensitivity, specifici-ty,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue of DNA image cytometry were 89. 7%,100%, 94. 7%,100%,and 90. 3%,respectively. However,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of liquid-based cytology were 63. 4%, 81. 9%, 72. 4%, 78. 5%, and 68. 2%, re-spectively. There were significant differences in thesensitivity, specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictivevalue. Conclusion DNA image cytometry has great application value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant pleuroperitoneal fluids, and can increase the positive rate, reduce misdiagnosed rate with liquid-based cytology.

Professor Wei Pin-kang developed phlegm theory for gastric cancer. He adopted the therapy of resolving phlegm and dispersing nodules as the fundamental therapy for gastric cancer. As the symptoms may vary due to the changes of etiology and pathogenesis at different stages of gastric cancer, he further formulated eight therapies based on the fundamental therapy, namely, resolving phlegm and regulating stomach, resolving phlegm and removing stagnancy, resolving phlegm and clearing heat toxin, resolving phlegm and relieving qi depression, resolving phlegm and dredging collaterals, resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis, resolving phlegm and promoting diuresis, and resolving phlegm to soften abdominal mass. These therapies showed satisfactory effects following the principle of simultaneous treatment of disease and symptoms.

The prevalence of invasive pulmonary fungal infections (IPFIs) has increased in children,which becomes a clinical concern in recent years.With the availabilities of new diagnostic tools for fungi and more antifungal agents,children with IPFIs may achieve a much earlier diagnosis and treatment.This article reviewed the development of laboratory tests,diagnostic criteria,treatment strategies and commonly used antifungal agents for IPFIs.

Objective To determine that atorvastatin might have anti-inflammatory effects in acute coronary syndromes(ACS) with C-reactive protein(CRP) reduction.Methods Ninety-two patients with ACS were assigned to three groups: high dose atorvastatin group(31 cases),taking atorvastatin 40 mg daily.Standard dose atorvastatin group(31 cases),taking atorvastatin 10 mg daily,and control group(30 cases),only receiving conventional therapy.CRP levels,lipid profiles were measured at first and fifth day and 1 month later.Results The study suggested:(1)CRP levels significantly decreased from baseline to the fifth day and 1 month later in high dose atorvastatin group(P
