Objective To study the clinical effect of Zhenqifuzheng granule combined with Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule in treating advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia in aged patients.Methods 52 cases of aged patients with advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.The observation group was treated with zhenqi fuzheng granule combined with tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule,and the control group was given Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium capsule only.The curative effect,adverse reaction and cellular immune function were evaluated after two treatment cycles.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the objective efficacy rate between observation (46.2％) and control group (50.0％) (P＞0.05).The rate of adverse reaction was higher in the control group than in observation group (P＜0.05).The rate of gastrointestinal adverse reactions in the control group was 50.0％,but 15.4％ in observation group.The rate of bone marrow suppression was 26.9％ in control group,but 11.5％ in observation group.The cellular immune function was better in observation group than in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Zhenqifuzheng granule can improve immune function and reduce toxic side effects when combined with Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassim capsule in treating advanced carcinoma of gastric cardia in aged patients.

Belief in and rejection of a relationship of occlusion and temporomandibular joint (TMJ)condyle-fossa position with normal and abnormal function are still contentious issues.Clinical opinions can be strong,but support in most published data (mostly univariate)is problematic.Distribution overlap,low sensitivity and specificity are a common basis to reject any useful prediction value.Notwithstanding,a relationship of form with function is a basic tenet of biology.These are multifactor problems,but the questions mostly have not been analysed as such.This review moves the question forward by focusing on TMjoint anatomic organisation as the multifactor system it is expected to be in a closed system like a synovial joint.Multifactor analysis allows the data to speak for itself and reduces bias.Classification tree analysis revealed useful prediction values and usable clinical models which are illustrated,backed up by stepwise logistic regression.Explained vari-ance,R2 ,predicting normals from pooled TMJ patients was 32.6%,sensitivity 67.9%,specificity 85.7%;37% versus disc displacement with reduction;and 28.8% versus disc displacement without reduction.Significant osseous organisational differences between TMjoints with clicking and locking suggest that this is not necessarily a single disease continuum.However,a subset of joints with clicking contained char-acteristics of joints with locking that might contribute to symptom progression versus resistance.Moderately strong models confirm there is a relationship between TMJ osseous organisation and function,but it should not be overstated.More than one model of normals and of TMde-rangement organisation is revealed.The implications to clinical decision-making are discussed.

Objective To discuss the feasibility of TIPS in the treatment of complicated Budd Chiari syndrome(BCS) and to evaluate its clinical effect. Methods Five patients (male/female=4/1) aged from 30 to 35(mean 33 years). Four of 5 patients with varied degree of esophago gastric varies had the history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and two had obvious ascites. We punctured the stenotic or occluded hepatic vein into the branch of portal vein in liver parenchyma. Balloon catheter expanding and installing were followed by the gastric coronary vein embolization. Results Successful operation were obtained in all 5 patients. The mean portal vein pressure dropped from(4.7?1.3)kPa before operation to(3.5?1.5)kPa after TIPS. One patient died in 24 hours after an emergency TIPS. One patient died of liver function failure three weeks later. In the mean 64 months′ follow up, 2 of the remaining 3 patients received angiography examination and were demonstrated stenosis at the end of hepatic vein. Both patients were treated with re intervention successfully. Conclusion TIPS was a safe, effective, and feasible method in the treatment of patients with complicated BCS with portal hypertension.

Objective To observe the effects of fluoride on testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis of male rats.Methods Thirty-two healthy male Wistar rats,weighting 150-180 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups by body weight using random number table,normal sodium (control),the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(100,200,300 mg· kg-1· d-1 NaF,respectively) by intragastric administration for 90 days,and bodyweight was observed daily.After the last intragastric administration,all rats were killed by cervical dislocation.The testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results After 30 days exposure,the difference of body weight between groups was statistically significant(F =3.884,P ＜ 0.05).The body weights in low-and medium-dose groups[(235.00 ± 14.56),(235.44 ± 24.99)g] were significantly increased than that of high-dose group [(206.00 ± 18.16)g,all P ＜ 0.05].There was no significant difference of body weight between the groups at 0,60 and 90 days(F =0.501,0.578,1.893,all P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the control group[(43.10 ± 3.62)％],the percentages of G0/G1 stage cells were significantly increased in all the NaF-treated groups [(57.60 ± 7.26) ％,(52.80 ± 3.20) ％,(73.13 ± 4.08) ％] and the percentages of S stage cells were significantly decreased in all the NaF-treated groups [(10.58 ± 2.58)％,(9.35 ± 0.35)％,(9.55 ± 0.50)％] compared to the control group[(19.23 ± 0.61)％,all P ＜ 0.05].On the other hand,the percentage of G2/M stage cells decreased significantly in high-dose group[(17.18 ± 2.21)％] compared with the control group[(36.34 ± 5.05)％,P ＜ 0.05].The testicular cell apoptosis ratios in all the NaF-treated groups were higher than that in the control group,but only in medium-and high-dose groups[(71.03 ± 2.30)％,(71.90 ± 2.16)％],the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group [(60.80 ± 2.34)％,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Chronic fluorosis can change testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis and damage the reproductive system.

OBJECTIVE To learn the classification of candidal hospital infection and its antifungal drug susceptibility test,in search for prevention and treatment measure.METHODS The CHROMagar candida color medium was applied to isolate Candida,DADE WalkAway-40 and RY-ID were applied to identify Candida strains.Rosco disc diffusion method was applied to analyze susceptibility test of Candida strains.RESULTS Of the 702 isolates,70.0% were C.albicans,20.8% were C.glabrata,and 6.3% were C.tropicalis.The candidas showed various resistance to 6 anti-fungal drugs.CONCLUSIONS C.albicans is still the most common pathogen of candidal infection,but in other candida the percentage of C.glabrata is rising now.Amphotericin B,fluconazole,itraconazole and nystatin(Anticandine) have a good antifungal to all candidas,but flucytosine and ketoconazole have less susceptibility to them.So medication should be accorded with the results of antifungal susceptibility test.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic versus open liver resection(LLR)in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods The perioperative and follow-up data ofLLR(n = 43)and OLR(n = 73)for the treatment of HCC at the same period were analyzed respectively. Results There were no significant differences in the age,gender,Child-Pugh classification,liver cirrhosis, AFP,and hepatic virus affection between the 2 groups. 1 case in the LLR group was converted for the open surgery and another one case in the OLR group died in the perioperative time. However ,compared with OLR group ,the intraoperative blood loss of LLR group(P < 0.05)was larger and the mean operative time(P < 0.05)was longer. The liver function indicators of the regular hepatectomy subgroup were recovered more quickly(P<0.05),but the indicators of remaining subgroups were not significantly different. The postoperative ambulation time (P < 0.05), the postoperative eating time(P < 0.05),the postoperative hospital stay(P < 0.05)were all shorter. The VAS score was lower(P<0.05). There was no difference in the incidence and distribution of complications and the inci-dence of severe complications between the two groups(all P>0.05). The first and third year disease-free survival rates were 82.2%,53.8%for LLR and 91.5%,75.9%for OLR,respectively(χ2=0.55,P=0.46). The first and third 5 year overall survival rates were 94.2%,79.3%for LLR and 94.9%,47.3%for OLR,respectively(χ2=1.06, P=0.30). Conclusion LLR for HCC treatment is a safe and effective way with the advantages of minimal opera-tive trauma,quick recovery and significant short-term efficacy.

Using metabolic flux balance model , the metabolic flux balance of L- v aline synthesis was established in this paper by material balances and linear p rogramming method. The analysis results indicate that 62.8% metabolic flux ent er ed EMP pathway and 38.2% metabolic flux entered the HMP pathway. And only 9.2 % c arbon entered the TCA cycle. But comparing to the optimal flux distributions of 92.31, the production of L-valine should be improved from the genetic manipula ti on and fermentation control through reducing byproduct of amino acid and decreas ing the metabolic flux.
