Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain on endothelium dependent dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.Methods:Twenty-four patients with both confirmed diagnosis of coronary artery disease(diagnosed by coronary arteriography) and endothelium dependent dilation(EDD) [expressed by flow mediated dilation(FMD) examined through high-resolution ultrasound] were enrolled into this investigation.They were divided into Group CAD,and Group HZ at random.Each group consisted of 12 patients.Group HZ,was administered the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain 10 grams per time,three times a day for 14 consecutive days.EDD0 and EDD14 were examined before and after the administration of the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain for 14 days.Group of normal control(Group NC) consisted of 12 age-and sex-matched healthy people.Results:EDD0 and EDD14 were(11.76?0.95)% and(11.83?0.70)% in Group NC,(5.37?1.15)% and(5.50?1.01)% in Group CAD which had significant difference compared with Group NC,(5.62?1.22)% and(9.84?1.83)% in Group HZ which were significantly different from those in Group NC.In GroupHZ,EDD14 was higher than EDD0 and had no significant difference compared with Group NC.Conclusion:The compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain can improve endothelium-dependent dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the scalp acupunction on children with cerebral palsy.Methods56 cases with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups: the treating group(scalp acupuncture and modern rehabilitation) and the control group(modern rehabilitation only) with 28 cases each. The ADL and the motion function were compared. ResultsThere is a significant defference between the two groups on the ADL, while no significant defference was observed on motor function between the two groups.Conclusions Scalp acupuncture is effective on improvment of ADL of the children with cerebral palsy.

A retrospective survey wag performed among medical staff in a hospital during 2006-2008 with physical examinations and reviews of medical records.Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)related factors were compared and analyzed for them.Overall detection rate of NAFLD was 13.9%(230/1655)in 2006 and 18.9%(344/1817)in 2008,with statistically significant difference(χ2=15.549,P＜0. 01 ). Among people surveyed over 30 years old, detection rate of NAFLD was 9.4%, 17. 8% and 21.7% for those aged 30 -39, 40 -49 and 50 years and over, respectively in 2006, while 14. 4%, 28. 2% and 30. 5% , respectively in 2008. Detection rate presented a increasing trend in those of younger age. Relative risk for fatty liver was 1. 859 for those with obesity and overweight. Prevalence of NAFLD in medical staff increases year by year. Medical staff should attend for their own health and take measures to prevent them from its potential risk factors and pay more attention to behavioral intervention for NAFLD.

Objective　To provide an effective instrument assessed the ability of children's visual-motor integration in China.Methods　1*!798 children aged 3 to 18 years old were randomly sampled from Xi'an city and were tested with VMI-4R test.The reliability and validity were then analyzed.Results　The norms of aged-equivalent,percentile,and standard scores were established.Split-half reliability,coefficient KR20,test-rerest reliability,and interscorer reliability ranged from 0.90 to 0.96(P＜0.01).There are moderately-highly correlation between VMI-4R with WISC-R,WPPSI-R,CRT,FQS,Drawing-A-Man test respectively.Conclusion　VMI-4R has good reliability and stable construction.It can effectively reflect the level of visual-motor integration.It is worth while to use widely as instrument for intelligence screenging and development assessing.

Objective To explore the reason and the degree of dysphoric mood of family members of children with scoliosis, and then make out some countermeasures to ameliorate these dysphoric mood. Methods Divided 64 family members of children with scoliosis into the observation group and the control group randomly. Using nursing intervention in the observation group and none in the control group. Evaluated the mood of 2 groups by the end of research by using the Zung Self-judged scale and the questionnaire. Results Different causes have induced different degree of dysphoric mood of family members of children with scoliosis. After using the nursing intervention, there were significant difference between the 2 groups in dysphoric mood, P

Objective To evaluate and analyse the prognostic factors of cerebral glioma treated with radiotherapy. Methods Records of 162 patients with cerebral glioma. Cox model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Mean follow- up time was 30 months, 14 patients relapsed, and 45 patients died. Univariate analysis showed that histologic grade, histologic type, Karnofsky performance state before radiotherapy, extent of resection, and age were significant predictors in association with overall survival rate of patients with glioma. Multivariate analysis showed that histologic grade, histologic type, age, Kamofsky before radiotherapy, extent of resection,and radiotherapy technology were independent prognostic factors of glioma. Conclusion Low grade, AC and OD, age≤40 years, Kamofsky >80 before radiotherapy, and total resection axe independent factors for predicting better survival of glioma patients.

Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9)disorders are a group of ihherited thrombocytopenias resulted from the mutation of MYH9 gene,including May-Hegglin anomaly,Epstein syndrome,Fechtner syndrome and Sebastian syndrome.MYH9 disorders are very often misdiagnosed as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).For better understanding of MYH9 of clinical and laboratory and getting enough attention in clinical practice,this review will focus on the pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,laboratory examination and differential diagnosis.
