Objective To study the relationship between throid hormone and chronic heart failure in patients and its clinical significance. Methods The free thriiodothyronine( FT3 ), the total thriiodothyronine(TT3 ), the free thyroxine(FT4 ), the total thyroxine (TT4 ), the rebellion thriiodothyronine ( rT3 ), the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in 100 patients with chronic heart failure and 50 normal people were determined by particle glimmer. Results The levels of T3 in patients with chronic heart failure were markedly lower than those in normal controls;The heart failure in low thriiodothyronine state case was severe. Conclusion The level of T3 in elderly patients with chronic heart failure was decreased, and it was correlated with the severity of heart failure.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pathogenic organism of sepsis in children with tumor and its drug sensitivity for references of clinical medication.METHODS:The drug sensitivity of hemoculture samples of children with neoplastic hema-tologic disorder was detected by paper disk method.RESULTS:Of the total109pathogenic bacteria isolated from hemoculture samples,60(55.0%)were gram-positive(G + )bacteria,47(43.1%)were gram-negative(G - )bacteria and2(1.8%)were fungi.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and aminoglycosides were more sensitive to G + bacteria,while carbopenems and cefoperazone/sulbactam were more sensitive to G - bacteria.CONCLUSIONS:In treating sepsis in children with tumor,the choice of drugs should be based on the drug sensitivity test,the possibility of G + and G - bacteria infections should be considered in empiric treatment and the possibility of mycotic infection should also be considered after long-term administration of antibacterials.

Objective To investigate the effect of oxycodone and sufentanil with equivalent dose on hemo-dynamics and stress response in general anesthesia induction. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA I orⅡpa-tients with abdominal surgery were randomly divided into oxycodone group(group O,n=60)and sufentanil group (group S,n = 60). Anesthesia was induced with iv oxycodone 0.20 mg/kg(group O)or sufentanil 0.25 μg/kg (group S)respectively,together with iv propofol 2.0 ~ 2.5 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.2 mg/kg. The patients were tracheally intubated using a single-lumen endotracheal tube. Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),plas-ma levels of epinephrine(E)and norepinephrine(NE),cortisol(Cor)and blood sugar(Glu)and the occurrence of bucking before anesthesia induction(T0),immediately before intubation(T1),at the moment of intubation(T2), 1 min(T3)and 5 min(T4)after intubation were observed. Results Compared with these at T0,MAP and HR in 2 groups were lower at T1(P<0.05)and no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P>0.05). MAP and HR were significantly higher at T2 and T3(P < 0.05)and compared with those in group O,MAP and HR in group S were increased more significantly at T2 and T3(P<0.05). MAP and HR increased slightly at T4 in 2 groups but no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P>0.05). Plasma levels of E ,NE,Cor and Glu increased obviously at T2 and T3 in 2 groups(P < 0.05)and they were even higher in group S(P < 0.05). Plasma levels of E ,NE , Cor and Glu increased slightly at T4 in 2 groups but no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion Compared with sufentanil ,oxycodone of equivalent dose used for general anesthesia induction can effectively keep smooth on hemodynamics and decrease stress response.

Background Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the frequent glaucomatous types,and genetic factor participates in pathogenesis and development of the disease.Recently,MYOC mutation was found to be associated with POAG.Objective This study was to describe the clinical and genetic findings in a POAG family from Luoyang,China.Methods This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated First Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology.The study adhered to Declaration of Helsinki.A POAG family with 29 members of 5 generations was surveyed and followed-up for 5-year duration.The mode of inheritance was determined by the pedigree analysis.The periphery blood sample was collected form 12 families and 100 health controls for the extraction of genomic DNA under the informed consent.The third exon and its flanking introns of MYOC were amplified,and quantitative real time PCR products were sequenced,and the structure and function of mutated gene were examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.The predicted effects of the detected variants on the secondary structure of MYOC protein were evaluated using Garnier-Osguthorpe-Robson (GOR) method,and homology analysis of protein was carried out by Blast software provided by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).Results This POAG family included 29 members of 5 generations,and the clinical data were not clear in 11 family members.Three individuals from 3 generations were determined POAG,another one was ocular hypertension,and 2 were carriers.Pedigree analysis appeared an autosomal dominant inheritance.In 12 subjects included 6 members genetically affected and 6 members with normal phenotype,the heterozygous mutation was found in the third exon of MYOC gene in 6 genetically affected members,which revealed a T→C transition at position 1021 (p.S341P),resulting in a switch of serine (Ser) to proline (Pro).It was a missense mutation abolished a CviKI-1 restriction site that segregated with the affected members.Secondary structure prediction of p.S341P suggested that myocilin protein was misfolded.Analysis of protein homology and switched Ser was conservative amine acid at position 1021 (p.S341P).No similar change was found in the 6 normal families and the normal controls.Conclusions Ser341Pro MYOC mutation is disease-causing factor in the POAG family of Luoyang.The clinical and genetic features of this mutation warrant further investigation.The mutation spectrum of MYOC is expanded to offer a better diagnosis and treatment for POAG patients.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of Protocatechuic acid and Protocatechuic aldehyde in Fuxuekang granules. METHODS: The chromatography was carried on Achirom Bond-1 C18 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m). The mobile phase was composed of methanol - water (20∶80,pH=2.80 adjusted by glacial acetic acid) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1. The detection wavelengths were programmed at 256 nm for Protocatechuic acid and at 280 nm for Protocatechuic aldehyde. RESULTS: The linear ranges for Protocatechuic acid and Protocatechuic aldehyde were 5.49～73.22 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 9) and 4.81～64.13 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 9), respectively, and their average recoveries were 96.86%(RSD=2.52%,n=9) and 97.55%(RSD=3.82%,n=9) respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, sensitive, and reproducible, and it is applicable for the quality control of Fuxuekang granules.

Objective To analyze behavioral changes related to HIV/AIDS and trends of HIV epidemic among female sex workers(FSWs),and to provide information for integrated HIV prevention and evaluation of interventions.Methods Continuous surveillance was provided in 41 sites from 2005 to 2007,when cross-sectional surveys were conducted among institution-based and street based female sex workers,and blood samples were faken.Result The rate of using condoms in the last commercial sex activities among the surveyed FSWs was:73.7%,81.1% and 81.5% in the respective 3 years from 2005 to 2007;while the rate of consistently using condoms in sex with clients during the last month was:49.3%,56.4% and 5.4% in the respective 3 years.Female sex workers who had injecting drug use were identified in one third surveillance sites.The rate of awareness of HIV/AIDS transmission among the FSWs was 62.4%,57.3% and 64.8%,respectively.The proportion of the FSWs who attended HIV VCT services was 10.9%,16.6% and 24.9%,respectively.The proportion of the FSWs who received intervention service within the last year was 51.3%,78.8% and 89.8%,respectively.The HIV detection rate was 0.0%(median value)in all the 3 years while the syphilis detection rate was 0.6%,1.0% and 1.15% respectively.Conclusion Rate of condom use and HIV awareness need to be further enhanced among female sex workers.The rate of condom use in the last sex with clients may be over estimated.The proportion of female sex workers who have received intervention service tends to increase;the coverage of behavioral intervention,voluntary counseling and testing and public education is increased gradually.HIV prevalence rate among female sex workers is generally low,but relatively high in some regions.High risk behaviors,such as unprotected sex and injecting drug use are not uncommon among FSWs.All this means that behavioral intervention is a long-term tough task,and to ensure its effectiveness and sustainability integrated HIV/AIDS prevention and control program will be needed.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of V AD regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed stage III multiple myeloma (MM). Methods:26 patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅲ multiple myel oma were treated with VAD regimen. VAD solution consisted of vincristine (VCR) , doxorubicin(ADR),dexamethasone (Dex).Three continuous treatments in one treatm ent course were considered evaluable.Evaluation included results of serum myelom a protein(M-protein); renal function; proteinuria of 24-hours; bone marrow ; per ipheral blood et al.The side reactions were recorded. The clinical efficacy eval uation was divide into complete response(CR),partial response(PR),minimal-respon se(MR), no change(NC) , plateau progression.Results:5 cases achieved CR(19.3%), 13 cases PR(50%),6 case s MR (23%), 2 cases no change (7.7%). Overall response rate was 92.3%, median su rvival duration was 7 to 84 months (29.6?17months). Conclusions:Achieved marked clinical efficacy with VAD agent in newly diagnosed stage III multiple myeloma. Especially,the patients with renal failure and serious clinical manifestation improved rapidly and significantly.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and possible mechanism of the multiple sclerosis (MS) combined with uveitis Methods Two cases of MS combined with uveitis were clinically observed by electro physiological, brain MRI and oligoclonic band (OB) examinations,the cases were analyzed and subjected to assessment Results Case1, a 56-year-old man had symptoms of one month′s numbness and twenty-day sudden decrease of visual acuity Viusal evoked potential (VEP)showed a postponed latent period of bilateral P100 waves Brain MRI showed multifocal T 2 Wight Image high signs in subcortical white matter of frontal and parietal lobes OB was postive Case 2: a 35-year-old woman, had recurrence of decrease of visual acuity of bilateral both eyes for 12 months and bilateral lower-limbs numbness Latent period of VEP P100 waves and BAEP I-V waves were postponed Brain MRI showed multifocal round-like T 2 Wight Image high signs in white matter of frontal and parietal lobes OB was postive Referring to the essay reported ,MS combined with uveitis was moetly moderate in manifestations Their causes were uncertain It is suggested that MS is not due to auto-antigen but due to S100-? protein derived from star-like cells Conclusion MS combined with uveitis ,unlike other one ,was clinically moderate and the pathological mechanism is unclear It is suggested that autoantigen such as S100-? protein derived from star-like cell results in MS and uveitis, not in MBP
