Objective] To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of Professor Cai Wanru, famous Chinese medicine doctor of the state, the tutor of doctoral student in treating bronchial asthma. [Method] The author studies from the teacher, col ecting medical records, analyzing and learning the dialectical thinking and prescriptions of Professor Cai during treating bronchial asthma. [Results] According to the different stages of bronchial asthma, Professor Cai adopts the combination of differentiation and disease differentiation, uses Chinese medicine to treat bronchial asthma. We should clean lung and phlegm, smoothen breathing during exacerbation of asthma, invigorate the spleen and tonify the lung qi during remission of asthma, at the same time advocate treating winter disease in summer during consolidating period. In addition, clearing lung and regulating Qi should be used throughout al the course of disease. Professor Cai is good at using drug pairs and Chinese medicine flexibly, simply, effectively. [Conclusion] Professor Cai Wanru has been engaged in clinical respiratory department of internal medicine for a long time, having rich experience and unique insights on bronchial asthma, chronic cough, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other common respiratory system disease, worth learning.

The 60-90 KD antigen of Schistosama japanicum isolated from SEA by SDS-PAGE was used to immunize female C57BL/6 mice viasubcutaneous injection route. Protective immunity against challenge infection with cercariae of S. japonicum was evaluated by the adult worm reduction rate, and the levels on humoral and cellular immunity in immunized mice.A high level of anti-SEA antibody litre in sera collected from immunized mice was detected by ELISA. The value of the adult worm reduction rate showed that there was no significant protective effect on challenge infection and no obvious difference beween immunized mice and non-immunized control groups. In addition, the data of T-cell proliferative response to ConA of spleen cells revealed that 60-90 KD antigen inhibited the response of T-cell to the mutagen. The possibility of induction of different results of immunity was discussed.

1.1 ), constrictive remodeling(RI 0.05 ). However, more culprit lesions with compensatory remodeling were present in patients with ACS(49% vs 12%, P

Purpose:To investigate the susceptible factors and treatment against cross infection in hospital of cancer patients.Methods:174 cases of cross infection in hospital of cancer patients from 1997 to 1999 were analyzed for infective site, infective agent and infectious bacteria. Results:174 cases of cross infection in hospital of cancer patients were found, which was 10.45% of the in paitents of the same period. The majority (108/174) had infection of tissues and organs within irradiation fields after radiotherapy. Respiratory tract infection rate was 76.43%. 16 cases (40.0%) were found to have secondary infection of digestive canal after chemotherapy in the 40 cases of infection of digestive canal. Bone marrow deression or chronic failure and long term decubitus were also causes of infection. In addition, mycotic infection was 43.42% (33/76) in bacteriological tests with bad prognosis.Conclusions:Cross infection in the hospital occurs that patients enfeebled by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chronic bone marrow failure and long term decubitus. Attention should be paid to the possibility of mycotic cross infection in hospitals, as the prognosis could be quite serious. As soon as the diagnosis is confirmed, early and full dose treatment by anti mycotic drugs should be given.

The finding and research on yeast prion are of great values for biology and medical sciences.Research advances in molecular chaperones, especially in Hsp104p, Hsp70p and Hsp40p, regulating yeast prion [PSI+] propaga-tion,are reviewed.

Objective To analyze the corneal flap thickness in laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) using Moria M2 microkeratome and to identify the related factors. Methods Sixty patients with LASIK were divided into two groups: M2 90 group,using the Moria M2 90 microkeratome,n=30;M2 110 group,using the Moria M2 110 microkeratome,n=30.All were performed on both eyes with the right one treated first.Subtraction pachymetry was used to measure corneal flap thickness which was analyzed statistically with the data including age,preoperative corneal diameter,curvature,corneal thickness and refraction. Results In the 30 patients of M2 90 group,the mean corneal flap thickness of right eye and left eyes were(128.03?12.03)?m(105~156 ?m) and(123.40?12.38) ?m(92~147 ?m),respectively,and the corneal flap thickness were statistically different between the right and left eyes(P

Objective To summarize the nursing experience of treatment of percutaneous and transhepatic portal venous autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for chronic hepatic failure.Methods 19 patients who were definitely diagnosed as chronic liver failure received pertinent nursing in different perioperative period of transhepatic portal venous autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation.Results All of the 19 patients went through perioperative period safely without any adverse reactions or complications.Conclusions In the process of treatment of autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for chronic hepatic failure,sufficient preoperative preparation,good communication and close cooperation among doctors,nurses and patients during operation,careful nursing and rehabilitation instruction after operation,are important assurances for autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation to run smoothly.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of autofluorescence bronchoscopy in lung cancer operation and the meaning of choice lung cancer operation mode.MethodsTo retrospectively analyze 32 non-small cell lung cancer patients.Before lung cancer operation,white light bronchoscopy (WLB) and autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) had been done routinely.Compared the different invasive tumor conditions by WLB and AFB,operation modes were decided by the edge of the tumor which were proved by biopsy pathology.ResultsIn 32 cases,19 cases underwent pulmonary lobectomy.One case underwent carinal resection and reconstruction.8 cases underwent sleeve lobectomy.4 cases underwent other therapy because of tumor airway metastasis.In 8 cases which underwent sleeve lobectomy,3 ca ses were found by WLB and AFB together,5 cases were found only by AFB.In 4 cases who had no operation chance,2 cases were found by WLB and AFB together,2 cases were only by AFB.The sensitivity for the detection of bronchial premalignant lesions was extremelyhigher withthe addition of AFB than WLBalone ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionAutofluorescence bronchoscopy is a safe and efficient technique which could improve the sensitivity of diagnosis in lung cancer than WLB.It is important to select operation mode.

Humans are exposed to the ubiquitous radiofrequency (RF, 100 kHz-300 GHz) electromagnetic fields because of the mushroom development of wireless communications,raising concerns over the possible hazards of RF radiations.Epidemiological investigation has showed that chronic use of cellphones increases the risk of brain tumors.Since genetic damage is closely related to tumors, researchers have been trying to find out whether cellphones and other RF devices are genotoxic.However, the investigations have yielded both negative and positive results.This review summarized the recent in vitro and in vivo researches about genotoxicity of RF radiations and proposed a possible mechanism by which of RF radiations cause genetic damage.
