Results The system has many features, such as simple structure, small size and high sensitivity. Conclusion The clinic screening requirements are met by the system and a new means of rapid detection is provided for PKU screening in large quantities.
2.The effects of two lipids lowering drugs on LDL pathways of receptor dependent and independent in rats
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
The effects of two lipids lowering drugs, Xu Zhiping and Mixtura Dai Huai, on the LDL metabolism by receptor dependent and independent pathways in experimental hypercholesterolemia rats were obsvered using radioisotopic double-labelling trace technique. The results showed that in the receptor dependent or independent pathways, the FCR of LDL was increased by 43% and 34% respectively in Xu Zhiping group, and by 35% and 40% respectively in Mixtura Dai Huai group as compared with controls. Both drugs appeared to be more effective than colifibrate, in promoting clearance of LDL from plasma suggesting that the role in reducing plasma TC and LDL-C was depended on accelerating LDL degradation through both receptor dependent and independent pathways. It was also suggested that immune stimulus in combination with cholagogus may become a new way for prevention of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(5):435-437
Objective To survey the clinical effect of combination therapy of Ninggan-Tiaozhong decoction and psychological intervention for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG).Methods 80 cases CAG were randomly divided into a treatment group (treated with Ninggan-Tiaozhong decoction and psychological intervention) and a control group (treated with Ninggan-Tiaozhong decoction),with 40 cases in each group and performed a therapy for 12 weeks.The clinical efficacy and the change of Symptom Checklist (SCL-90)and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) before and after treatment were evaluated.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group,and 74.4% in the control group.The treatment group was better than the control group(x2=4.255,P<0.05).After psychological intervention,SCL-90 and SAS score (39.5±4.3,1.3± 0.6)was significantly reduced in the treatment group than the control group (51.4±3.2,1.5±0.3),(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of Ninggan-Tiaozhong decoction and psychological intervention used in CAG is effective to relieve symptoms and to improve life quality of patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of warfarin on the formation of renal calcium oxalate stones induced by 1% ethylence glycol (EG) and 3% ammonium chloride (NH 4Cl) in rats. Methods 30 adult male Wistar rats were randomized to three groups,the control group (A) being non-treated,the stone group (B) rats taken EG and NH 4Cl,and the warfarin group (C) taken warfarin in addition to EG and NH 4Cl.All rats were bred 4 weeks.The renal tissue calcium,the renal calcium oxalate crystallization,and the urinary calcium excretion and serum biochemical data were detected. Results No significant difference has been noted in 3 groups,although there is a tend that number of ranal calcium oxalate crystals in group C was more than that in group B. Conclusions The results denoted that warfarin had no significant effect on the calcium oxalate crystallization in rats.

Objective: This work aimed to investigate the negative prognostic factors of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and adenocarcinoma with BAC characteristics, based on the 2004 pathological classification by the World Health Organization (WHO), which were further verified with the new pathological classification of lung adenocarcinoma (WHO 2011), to identify crucial factors that determine the prognosis of BAC and adenocarcinoma with BAC features, and to prove the coherence of the two pathological classi-fications in assessing clinical prognosis. Methods: Upon pathological diagnosis, some of the 193 cases of BAC or adenocarcinoma with BAC features were categorized into adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) or minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), based on the 2011 WHO classification. Gender, age, tumor size, familial cancer history, smoking history, TNM stage, symptoms, duration of symp-toms, and the choice of treatment were recorded and analyzed for prognosis. The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test was introduced to compare the survival rate. Univariate and multivariate factors for the survival rate were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results:The overall 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were 84.3%, 60.6%, and 45.6%, respec-tively. Cox univariate analysis revealed that the tumor size, symptoms, TNM stage, pathological outcomes, and the choice of treatment were all prognostic factors. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that TNM stage was an independent prognostic factor for patients with BAC. Data from patients with AIS and MIA revealed better survival. Conclusion:The overall survival rate of BAC and adenocarcino-ma with BAC features are superior to that of other non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical symptoms are non-specific com-pared with other types of NSCLC. Clinical stage at diagnosis is a key prognostic factor, such that early correct diagnosis significantly improves survival. The new classification criteria of WHO, released in 2011, is more elaborate and more conducive to clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:The development of minimaly invasive technology significantly reduces the occurrence of surgical complications due to spinal metastases. Currently, the minimaly invasive treatment basicaly has three broad categories: vertebral cement augmentation, radiofrequency ablation combined with vertebroplasty, intraoperative radiotherapy combined with vertebroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of three kinds of minimaly invasive treatments for spinal metastases. METHODS:PubMed and Wanfang databases were searched using the keywords of spinal metastases, vertebroplasty, radiofrequency ablation, radiotherapy in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Vertebral cement augmentation with good analgesic effect has been used widely, and the efficiency is up to 80%-90%. But its effect to kil tumors is very limited that is unable to control tumor growth. Radiofrequency ablation and radiation can kil the tumor, but cannot rebuild the vertebral stability. Therefore, the combination of different technologies can improve the therapeutic effect on spinal tumors. In recent years, intraoperative radiation and implantation of radioactive particles or radioactive bone cement have been developed as new technologies. However, there is no conclusion that these new technologies have better outcomes than the vertebral cement augmentation because of less reports and lack of long-term folow-up. Especialy in the metastatic patients with damaged vertebral posterior wal and tumors invaded into vertebral canal, the risk of nerve function damage caused by bone cement leakage is stil very high, even after many attempts. Above al, there is no a perfect minimaly invasive treatment for spinal metastases.
