Monitoring of cisplatin concentration in blood was done in 15 cases with inoperable lung cancer during bronchial artery infusion.The curve of time drug concentration in blood in target organ and peripheral tissue were analysed.Results showed that the drug concentration in target was evident higher than that in peripheral tissue,and the drug concentration in target organ was much higher than the effective drug concentration,therefore. a reliable theory was given for treatment of lung cancer by bronchial artery infusion.

The study on the etiology of Kashin-Beck disease showed that organic residues in the large volume of water samples were concentrated onto XAD resin columns. The extracts were partioned and analyzed by GC/MS. The water samples from the endemic area of Kashin-Beck disease were collected from the Tian Tang river, deep well and cellar well which arc located in Tian Tang village, Linyou County, Shaanxi province. The control water sample was collected from a deep well on the campus of Xi'an Medical University which is the source of the University tap water. Forty, thirty one, nineteen and ten kinds of organic compounds, which were respectively found to embody twenty five, nineteen, eight and four kinds of aromatic compounds, were respectively discovered in the Tian Tang river, deep well, cellar well and control water. Alkenes, ketens, ketones, naphthalenes and thazoles were found only in the river, deep well and cellar well water. Indenes were merely found only in the river and deep well water. The results suggest that above six compounds may be important etiological factors of Kashin-Beck disease, which have never been reported. However, its real etiologcal and epidemiological signicance needs further study.

BACKGROUND: The repair of soft tissue defect is disturbing plastic surgeons for a long period of time. Each strategy has its own limitation. Adipe authoritative journals were included. Repetitive articles and Meta analysis articles were excluded. Finally 34 articles werose tissue engineering technique provides a novel resolving approach. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the research status of adipose tissue engineering and their defects, and to prospect the possible application in clinic. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: A computer-based online search of Medline was undertaken to identify articles about adipose tissue construction published in English from January 1991 to July 2007 with the keywords "fat, tissue engineering". Meanwhile, we searched Chinese Journal Full-text Database for the Chinese articles dated from January 1991 to July 2007 with the same keywords in Chinese. 241 English and 101 Chinese articles were collected. The titles and abstracts were firstly read to select the articles about the construction of tissue-engineered adipose tissue, and 276 repetitive studies were excluded. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Sixty-six Chinese and English articles were selected for further analysis, and finally 30 articles were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: Cell types, scaffold, blood supply and microenvironment are factors for constructing tissue-engineered fat. Adipose tissue defect and insufficiency are two obstacles for the plastic surgeons for a long time. Autologous free fat transplantation is a common therapy, but its resorption limits the further application. Tissue engineering is a possible technique to resolve this problem. At present, the tissue-engineered construction of adipose tissue has become a study focus due to the great demand of plastic surgery. CONCLUSION: Graft remaining normal appearance and function for a long period of time can realize the application of tissue-engineered adipose tissue in clinic. Tissue-engineered adipose tissue is promising to resolve the problems like soft tissue defects in clinic.

There were 461939 outpatient visits in Shanghai Tianping Primary Health Center from January to December 2010,the data were retrospectively analyzed based on the electronic outpatient record.The 20 most common illnesses accounted for 73.67％ of total outpatient consultations (340310/461 939),hypertension ranked the first position of all illnesses ( 21.06％ ) and followed by coronary heart disease (8.36％).Patients aged over 65y accounted for 72.35％ of all patients,the frequency of consultations was positively correlated with age of patients(P ＜0.01 ).The frequency of consultations varies according to the gender,age of the patients as well as the organ system involved (P ＜ 0.01 ).It can be concluded that the most frequently encountered illnesses in primary health center are common illnesses and chronic diseases.There are different needs for primary health service between genders and different age groups.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and the severity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods We recruited 498 elderly CHD patients undergoing coronary angiography(CAG) from our hospital.Based on CAG results,patients were divided into two groups:406 patients with lesion of vessel(s)and ≥50％ vessel stenosis as the CHD group,and the other 92 patients with ＜ 50％ vessel stenosis as the negative control group.Their clinical data such as left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and serum BNP was recorded.The patients was further divided into 177 single-,129 double-,100 triple-,and 92 negative vessel disease groups according to the number of vessels with significant stenosis.The patients with CHD were divided into three different age groups:(1) A group:60-69 years old,254 patients ;(2) B group:70-79 years old,112patients;(3)C group:equal or greater than 80 years old,40 patients.Serum levels of BNP were measured before CAG.The relationship between BNP and the severity of coronary disease was analyzed.Results The level of BNP was significantly elevated in the CHD group[(387.5±132.3)ng/L]than the negative control group [(58.6±22.1) ng/L](t =23.83,P ＜ 0.01).The level of BNP was significantly enhanced(F =87.42,P ＜0.01) along with the increasing number of coronary artery Stenosis,with single vessel disease group(202.2±116.6)ng/L,double vessel disease group(487.5±152.3)ng/L and triple vessel disease group(768.7±264.3) ng/L; the level of BNP significantly increased(F =57.33,P ＜ 0.01) along with increasing age,with A group(182.6±93.1)ng/L,B group(352.2±121.2)ng/L and C group(491.2±158.7) ng/L.The level ofLVEF did not change in the procedure(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The levels of BNP were closely associated with the severity of coronary artery disease and were a strong clinical predictor for myocardial ischemia.
