Objective To investigate the changes of molecule markers of pre-thrombotic state,expression of CD62P,concentration of plasma fibrinogen(Fib),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT) in the patients with essential hypertension for providing theoretical evidence for diagnosis and therapy of thrombus complication in early clinical stage.Methods Fifty-three patients with hypertension(grade Ⅰ 17 cases,grade Ⅱ 16 cases,grade Ⅲ 20 cases)were selected and twenty-eight people with medical examination in good health were used as control group.The expressions of CD62P and CD61 were measured by flow cytometry.The concentration of Fib and the levels of PT,APTT,TT were measured by Class coagulation method.Results The expression of CD62P and the concentration of plasma Fib in essential hypertension group were higher than those in control groups(P0.05).Conclusion The essential hypertensive patients are in pre-thrombotic state,the activation of platelet and blood clotting activity increase.Molecular markers should be measured in essential hypertensive patients for prevention and treatment of thrombotic disease.

OBJECTIVE To explore the infection situation of surgical operation and enhance postoperative(observation) and rational use of antibiotics.METHODS Totally 11 208 cases after surgical operation were(investigated)(retrospectively).The diagnosis standard was based on the Diagnosis Standard of Hospital(Infection)(Draft) published by Ministry of Health,the People′s Republic of China in Jan 2001. RESULTS There were(11 208) cases after surgical operation from Jan 1,2000 to Dec 31,2004 in our hospital and 275 cases suffered(incision)(infection,) there(infection) rate was 2.45%.The pathogenic bacteria of incision infection were confirmed as G~-(bacilli)(72 strains,78.26%),and G~+ cocci(20 strains,21.74%).CONCLUSIONS The key points of prevention of incision infection are sterile operation,protection of operation field when incising cavity organ,inside(sterilization),flushing of abdominal cavity and incision,change of contaminated apparatus,gloves and dressing promptly,(selection) of suture line and suture technique,besides the serious operation preparedness and skin(sterilization).

Objective To investigate the depiction rate of normal cisterna chyli and thoracic duct by nonenhanced MR lymphography and to describe their appearances on MR imaging.Methods Special MR hydrography sequence was added to the MR imaging protocols of 112 patients undergoing MR examination of the thorax and upper abdomen.MR imaging sequences included:①Respiratory-gated HASTE T2W sequence;②Breath-hold FLASH T1W sequence;③Respiratory-gated TSE 3D T2W sequence(3D MR hydrography sequence)in coronal plane.One hundred cases who met the inclusion criteria were included into the study for observation of the depiction rate,location and morphology of cisterna chyli and thoracic duct.Results On TSE 3D T2W imaging:①Cisterna chyli was visualized in 71/100(depiction rate 71.0%),morphologically including single-tube type 43.7%(31/71),bifurcation type(2-3 tubes)23.9%(17/71),plexus type 32.4%(23/71).Average length of the cisterna chyli was 4.5 cm.②The depiction rate of the lower segment of thoracic duct was 57.0%(57/100),average ductal diameter was 0.23 cm.③The depiction rate of upper segment of the thoracic duct was 31.0%(31/100).Conclusion As a noninvasive method for depicting the lymphatic system,nonenhaced MR lymphography(TSE 3D T2W sequence)demonstrated a high depiction rate for cisterna chyli and lower thoracic duct.Combined with axial images of HASTE and FLASH sequences,the location and morphology of these larger lymphatic ducts can be defined.

Objective To evaluate the capability of virtual non-contrast (VNC)of the second-generation dual-source CT (DSCT), and to display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.Methods 48 patients with gastric cancer undergoing preoperative DSCT and sur-gery were enrolled.The true non-contrast (TNC)values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were measured and compared with conventional non-contrast scanning and VNC of arterial phase and venous phase.The VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were compared between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group.Results There was statistical difference be-tween TNC values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue (P <0.05),the absolute differences were under 13 HU.The differ-ence of VNC values between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion VNC of the second-generation DSCT can clearly display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.It has certain capability in judging sero-sal involvement.VNC has the proficiency to replace conventional non-contrast scanning.

Basical study of application of TCM damp - heat model includes development of damp - heat animal model and mechanism study of removing heat and dampness. Results indicated that under the guidance of classical thoery of TCM febrile diseases, on the basis of comparison of five factors and six methods of developing animal model, and the damp - heat models developed by means of combined factors (diet+ climatic surroundings + pathgenic boilogical factors) approached to damp - heat syndrome of TCM in conditions of attack, affected Zang- and Fu-organs, and main symptoms and signs, with characteristics of good replace and simple manipulation.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the technics for the extraction of Qiangliyanhou mixture.METHODS:The physico-chemical properties of the compositions in the formula medicinal substances were analyzed,the obtained quantity of aqua aromatica was used as an investigation index of distillation technics;The preparation technics was optimized by orthogonal experiment in which the extraction ratio of the water extractives and the content of chlorogenic acid were used as the indexes to investigate the influence of the amount of water added,the soaking time before decoction,decoction time and times of decoc?tion on the extraction result.RESULTS:The optimized amount of aqua aromatica in the distillation procedures was collecting distillate that is3times the amount of the medicinal substances;The optimum water extraction condition was:the medicinal substances was soaked for2hours by adding15times amount of water before decocting for total3hours(3times?1hour/time).CONCLUSION:The preparation procedure is reasonable and reliable.

Objective To estimate the effects of occupational noise exposure to menstrual function of female cotton spinner. Methods 214 female workers of Anqing Textile Factory and urban community were investigated using questionnaire and the data of newly-married dairy by prospective cohort study from 1996 to 2000.The level of noise in their working place was measured. Results (1) The average level of occupational noise exposure of female workes of Anqing Textile Factory and urban community were 98.1 dB and 58.1 dB respectively. (2) Menstrual cycle of women in higher noise exposure group significantly shortened compared with those of the control group (P
