Objective To study the genetic toxicity of surfactants Tween-20?Tween-80?Span-20?BE-2. Methods To take root tip cells of Vicia faba as the subjects, treated with various concentrations of surfactants to study the effect of them on the micronucleus and chromosome aberration in root tip cells of Vicia faba. Results The frequencies of micronucleus cell induced by surfactants Tween-20?Tween-80?Span-20?BE-2 were (21.34?1.31)‰, (13.44?2.66)‰, (15.29?3.16)‰ and (7.53?2.34)‰ respectively, the frequencies of chromosome aberration induced by surfactants Tween-20?Tween-80?Span-20?BE-2 were (18.16?0.50)%, (11.05?1.18)%, (23.79?1.62)% and (22.58?0.61)%, significant differences were seen compared with the control. Conclusion The results of the present paper demonstrates that surfactants Tween-20?Tween-80?Span-20?BE-2 have the effect of mutagenic agent.

Objective To study the changes of cerebral haemodynamics in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) treated with Shengmai injection compared with citicoline,and explore the clinical interventions of Shengmai injection on HIE.Methods Fifty patients with HIE were randomized into 2 groups: shengmai group treated with Shengmai injection(n=30),and citicoline group treated with citicoline(n=20).The haemodynamic parameters included peak systolic flow velocity(PSFV),end-diastolic flow velocity(EDFV),pulsation index(PI) and resistance index(RI) of anterior and middle cerebral artery were detected by color Doppler ultrasound before treatment and on 7~(th) day after treatment respectively.Control group(n=50) compared with the two groups.Results PSFV,PDFV and RI of HIE patients were significantly lower than those of control group(P

Objective To evaluate the association between cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and atherosclerosis (AS) and explore the possible role of endothelin (ET) and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF ?) in the pathogenesis of AS in diabetic patients and the relationship between HCMV infection and concentrations of ET and TNF ?. Methods Blood samples were collected from 21 patients with AS of type 2 DM, 47 patients with non AS of type 2 DM and 20 controls. Special antibodies to HCMV (IgM,IgG) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The concentrations of serum TNF ? and plasma ET were determined by RIA. Results (1) Type 2 diabetic patients, especially those with established AS, had a higher prevalence of active infection of HCMV. (2) The levels of plasma ET and serum TNF ? in type 2 diabetic patients were higher than those in normal people. In the pathogenesis of AS in diabetic patients, the ET played more important role than the TNF ?.(3) There was a significantly positive correlation between anti IgM to HCMV and the level of plasma ET in type 2 DM patients. It suggested that the injury of endothelium cell was related to the active infection of HCMV. Conclusion The study suggests that HCMV infection may be important in the pathogenesis of AS in type 2 diabetic patients and ET possibly plays an important role on the pathological course of AS.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of nephroscopic surgery for simple renal cysts. Methods A 2~4 cm incision was made below the 12th costal interspace. Through the incision the nephroscopic decortication was performed in 26 patients with simple renal cyst. Results The operation time was 20~80 min (mean, 30 min) and the postoperative hospital stay, 3~)6 days (mean, 4 days). No blood transfusion was required and no severe complications were noted. Follow-up observations for 3~)12 months (mean, 8 months) in the 26 patients found no recurrence. Conclusions Mini-incision nephroscopic decortication for renal cysts is feasible and mini-invasive, with advantages of simplicity of performance and quick postoperative recovery.

Objective To test the content of menthol in Chuanbei Pipa Syrup(CPS)by GC, and to evaluate its quality. Meth-ods The content of menthol in CPS was determined by capillary gas chromatography. DB-WAX capillary column (30 m ×0. 319 mm × 0. 50μm) was used with nitrogen as carrier gas. The precolumn pressure was 500 kPa and the column temperature was at 110 ℃ with split ratio of 25 : 1. The temperature was set at 250℃ for sample injection and for the detector. Results The content of menthol in CPS produced by Henan Pharmaceutical Co. , Ltd. , Zhengzhou Pharmaceutical Co. , Ltd. and Yunan Pharmaceutical Co. , Ltd. was 0. 154 mg/mL, 0. 203 mg/mL and 0. 109 mg/mL, respectively. Of them, the men-thol content in CPS produced by Zhengzhou Pharmaceutical Co. , Ltd. met the requirements of Pharmacopoeia(2005 edition), and that of the other two species was slightly lower. Conclusion The methods are convenient, reliable and accurate for the de-termination of menthol content in Chuanbei Pipa Syrup.

Objective To assess the value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHE-Ⅱ) score and extrapancreatic inflammation on abdominal computed tomography (EPIC) score in predicting outcome of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods One hundred and forty-seven patients with AP who underwent abdominal computed tomography scan within 24 h and acute physiological examination after admission were studied.To assess their value in predicting severe AP and complications,the APACHE Ⅱ score and EPIC score was calculated and evaluated by calculating receiver operator characteristic (ROC)curves,the sensitivity,the specificity,the Youden index and the area under the ROC curve (AUC).Results Forty-three of 147 patients developed severe AP.The mean scores of APACHE-Ⅱ score and EPIC score two criteria systems was significantly higher in severe AP than that in mild AP (P< 0.01).EPIC score had 0.893 sensitivity,0.870 specificity and the largest AUC for predicting severe AP.EPIC score had the largest AUC in predicting local complications.But the EPIC score was equal to the APACHE-Ⅱ score in AUC to predict systemic complications.Conclusion In patients with AP.EPIC score and APACHE-Ⅱ score combination will estimate the prognosis of disease accurately within 24 h of admission.

Objective To study the burden of dementia patients' caregivers and related influencing elements.Methods A survey was carried out in 152 dementia patients' caregivers after studying the prevalence of dementia in Gushan town using self-designed questionnaires.Results Among the 152 earegivers,65.13% received primary school education or below.And those taking care of disabled dementia patients,taking care of patients with higher ADL scores,attending on without professional helper,having insufficient knowledge,reluctant to give care,and spending much time on it got higher burden score.Conclusions Among caregivers of dementia patients,females are more than males;sons,daughters and spouse are the primary caregivers.Their education level is low,and the caregivers don't have enough knowledge on dementia care and can't give enough service to the senile dementia patients.

Objective To study the risk factors which lead to increase in the incidence rate of hypospadias. Methods A case-control design was used.The mothers of 210 cases and 420 controls were interviewed by telephone or face-to-face,and the questionnaires were answered.Thirty probable risk factors were investigated.Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analyses for evaluation of the data. Results All boys with hypospadias in the case group were of Han nationality.Only 5 cases had positive family history.Odds ratio (OR) of the factors investigated were:pregnant age (OR,38.63),threatened abortion (OR,4.71),progestin (OR,3.64),estrogen (OR,5.1),pesticide (OR,2.39),organic solvents (OR,2.12),season of pregnancy (OR,1.86) and detergent (OR, 1.87).But OR of frequency of abortion,weeks of gestation and birth weight were less than 1.The results of other 17 investigated factors were negative. Conclusions Threatened abortion,nonfull-term fetus,low birth weight and some environmental endocrine-disturbing chemicals ( pesticide,detergent,organic solvents,progestin and estrogen) may be risk factors associated with hypospadias.These environmental endocrine-disturbing chemicals may increase the incidence rate of hypospadias.
