Objective To research the clinical curative effect of pegylated interferon α-2a (Peg-IFNα-2a) combined with ribavirin in treating chronic hepatitis C with positive autoantibodies.Methods The autoantibodies were screened in 93 cases of chronic hepatitis C patients and then the patients were divided into positive group and negative group.Both of the two groups were given therapy with Peg-IFN α-2a combined with ribavirin.The capacity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA,virological response rate,and blood concentration of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were quantified before and in the process of treatment.Results Twenty-eight patients had autoantibodies,with 17 patients of antimitochondrial antibody,8 patients of anti smooth muscle antibody and 3 patients of anti-liver-kidney microsomal antibody-1.The quantity of HCV RNA and the virological response rate had no significant difference before and after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).The concentration of ALT and AST in positive group were higher than those in negative group before and in the process of treatment,while there were obvious differences only after 36 weeks of treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Peg-IFN α-2a combined with ribavirin is effective for chronic hepatitis C for all the patients,but liver function of autoantibody negative patients have a better recovery.

High - risk corneal transplantation immunological rejection is a primary factor affecting the success or failure of the corneal transplantation. As a result, application of immunosuppressive agent in high - risk corneal transplantation rejection reaction occupies an irreplaceable position. However, many local and systemic adverse reactions appeared in the process of application. In order to improve the achievement ratio of the corneal transplantation, experts and scholars at home and abroad have obtained remarkable achievements in dosage form, route of administration and drug combination;meanwhile, a considerable progress was also made in genetic engineering. This paper is a review of prevention and treatment on high - risk corneal graft rejection reaction.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of autogenous vein graft as a connector to repair recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN) defect. Methods 20 healthy dogs were randomly devided into 4 groups: group 1(n=6), 2(n=6), 3(n=5) and control group(n=3). Left RLN of dogs in group 1,2,3 were resected for 1,2,3 centimetres respectively and followed by repairment with autogenous vein graft, while RLNS of dogs in control group were resected but not conducted by autogenous vein graft. Six months after operation, the vocal fold movement, phonation and induced action potensial as well as morphologic observation of the aryngeal muslces were studied. Results In group 1, phonation of dogs was all restored to normal. The vocal fold of RLN resected side showed no atrophy symmetrical to the normal side and adducted apparently when phonating. Furthermore thyroarythenoid muscle and posterior cricoarytenoid muscle both could generate induced action potentially. Regenerated nerves in verin graft and distal nerve were observed by light microscope and electron microscope. In group 2,3 and control group hoarseness improved six months after op eration, the vocal fold of RLN resected side was atrophied apparently and fixed paramedianly. Fissure existed in glottis when vocal fold closed, and compensative movement of opposite vocal fold across over the median line was found. Thyoarthenoid muscle and posterior cricoarytenoid muscle unable to generate an action was found. Regenerated nerves were not observed in vein graft or distal nerve by light microscope and electron microscope. Conclusions It is feasible to repair RLN defect in certain length by autogenous vein graft.

The psychiatric problem has become a global public health issue. The model of mental health service advocate that“Treatment of disease occurred in the hospital, but rehabilitation and management in the community”. This brings great challenge to the community health service center. By comparing the domestic and foreign mental health service system, this paper discusses the necessity of carrying out the standardized training of general practitioners in psychiatry and psychology.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of white blood cell and hemoglobin in patients with acute aortic dissection(AAD).Methods White blood cell.hemoglobin and fibrinogen were measured in 42 AAD patients.The mortality during hospitalization was observed and the short-term prognosis in AAD patients was as-seased.Results There was 13 death during hospitalization.with the mortality of 30.95%.The value of white blood cell was higher in death group than in survival group[(13.73±6.91)×109>/L vs.(9.43±4.97)×109>/L.P< 0.05).The value of hemoglobin was lower in death group of than in survival group[(118.54±22.38)g/L vs. (131.72±18.17) g/L,P<0.05].There were no differences in the value of fibrinogen between the groups [(3.15±1.15)g/L vs.(3.48±1.24)g/L,P>0.05).The mortality in the group of elevated white blood cell(≥10.0×109>/L)was higher than that in the group of normal white blood cell(10.0×109/L)(41.18%vs.24%.P<0.05).The mortality in the group of decreased hemoglobin(≤110g/L)was higher than that in the group of nor-mal hemoglobin(>110 g/L)(50.00%vs.27.78%,P<0.05).Conclusion The value of white blood cell and he-moglobin could help to assess the short-term prognosis of patients with AAD.

Engenfaces is a simple and effective face recognition method based on the relativity of the training set and testing set of face images.However,the correct recognition rate decreases by eigenfaces sharply when the face pose varies.Aiming at improving correct recognition rate in this case,a face recognition approach correlative with face poses is presented.The basic idea is toensure that testing face with particular pose should be matched in the face database whose poses are the same as that of the testing face.Experimental results show the new method gains higher correct recognition rates than traditional eigenfaces method.

Objective To summarize clinical imaging characters of the gastric lymphoma in gastroscopy and double contrast radiography of upper gastrointestinal tract.Methods We reviewed 24 cases of gastric lymphoma from January 1996 to June 2006 and analyzed their endoscopic and X-ray features,as well as their pathological results.Results The most frequently involved parts were gastric body(75%,18 cases) and antrum(67%,16 cases).The most common changes were: ①ulcer(71%,17 cases),especially multiple shallow ulcers which had different forms;②nodular protuberance(67%,16 cases),sometimes submucous giant protuberance;③giant duplicature(54%,13 cases);and ④involvement spreading along the gastrointestinal tract(21%,5 cases).Conclusions The characters of gastric lymphoma are ulcer,nodular protuberance,giant duplicature,and so on.The combination use of gastroscopy,radiography,endoscopic mucosal resection,endoscopic ultrasound,and laparoscopy is important for definite diagnosis.

To correlate the ultrasound and MR imaging of carotid atherosclerotic plaque with its histologic compositions,20 patients(22 lesions) scheduled for carotid endarterectomy were examined by B mode ultrasound and MRI preoperatively. The specimens were also examined postoperatively and the images of carotid plaque were recorded. The transverse pathological sections of plaques were made and matched with images of ultrasound and MRI. 256 gray scale ultrasound densitometric analysis of carotid plaque compositions was performed. Ultrasonic density of calcium, fibrous tissue, hemorrage/thrombus and lipid deposits was (89?12), (53?8), (37?6) and (39?3) respectively in vivo , and was (168?11), (136?12), (85?12) and (89?10) respectively in vitro . In vivo relative signal intensities of calcium, fibrous tissue, old hemorrhage/thrombus and lipid deposits were low, equal, equal and very high respectively on T 1 W MR image, and very low, equal, high and high respectively on PDW MR image, and low, equal or slightly high, high and high respectively on T 2 W MR image. Signal intensities of plaque contents ex vivo were correlated to signal intensities in vivo. Densitometric analysis of ultrasound images of carotid plaques can quantify possible components of plaque, and MRI has the feasibility to identify the components of plaque.

BACKGROUND: In subjects with different inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in sera increases, and its change may become an important monitoring index of immunological function, but its change rule has been unclear in acute cerebral infarction.OBJECTIVE: To observe the change of sVCAM-1 in sera of subjects with cerebral infarction and its clinical significance, and compare between the subjects with cerebral hemorrhage and normal population.DESIGN: A case controlled analysis.SETTING: Second Department of Brain, Research Institute of Surgery,Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 132 inpatients were selected from Second Department of Brain, Research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between May 2002 and April 2004. Among them, 89 subjects with cerebral infarction were classified into large infarction group (n=25,＞ 10 cm3), medium infarction group (n=31,4-10 cm3) and small infarction group (n=33, ＜ 4 cm3) respectively according to the size of infarct focus. There were 43 subjects in cerebral hemorrhage group, and 30 healthy persons were as normal control group.METHODS: Blood samples were isolated from subjects with cerebral infarction at hour 24, days 3, 7 and 14 after onset of the disease, while the blood samples were extracted from subjects with cerebral hemorrhage at hour24 and day 14 after the onset of the disease. 4 mL venous blood was obtained from the three groups. The serum concentration of sVCAM-1 was determined with double antibody sandwich method (DASM) in all the examinees.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Dynamic change of the serum concentration of sVCAM-1 in the course of acute cerebral infarction, and compared with the other two groups. ②Comparison of the serum concentration of sVCAM-1 in different size of infarct focus. ③Change of the serum concentration of sVCAM-1 in acute cerebral infarction subjects complicated with infection.RESULTS: A total of 162 subjects were involved in the result analysis. ①The serum concentration of sVCAM-1 at the 24th hour after cerebral infarction was significantly higher in subjects with cerebral infarction than in subjects with cerebral hemorrhage group and normal control group [(1 184.5±68.3) ,(693.9±41.7), (576.1±39.8) μg/L,P＜0.01].Serum sVCAM-1 in the cerebral infarction subjects increased from the 24th hour to the 7th day after infarction gradually, while from the 7th day to the 14th day decreased gradually. However, the serum sVCAM-1 in the cerebral infarction subjects at day 14 was still markedly higher than that in the cerebral hemorrhage group and the normal control group (P ＜ 0.01 ). ②The serum concentration of sVCAM-1 was significantly higher in the large cerebral infarction group as compared with medium and small cerebral infarction groups [(1 217.4±59.3) ,(1 132.6±51.9) ,(983.7±54.2) μg/L,P ＜ 0.01]. ③The serum concentration of sVCAM-1 was significantly higher at days 3, 7and 14 in cerebral infarction subjects complicated with infection than in subjects without infection (P ＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: The sVCAM-1 participates pathological change process of cerebral infarction, which can be regarded as monitoring index of cerebral infarction change. To block its production and expression can provide a new approach for improving the prognosis of cerebral infarction.
