Objective:To explore the relationship between Jiegu pastes and blood biochemical indices and the expression of cal-catonin gene related peptide( CGRP) in the process of fracture healing. Methods: The tibial fracture model of rats was established, and the rats were randomly divided into five groups:the blank control group, model control group, positive control group, Jiegu paste at low dose group ( L, 1 g·ml-1 , calculated by raw materials) and at high dose group ( H, 2 g·ml-1 , calculated by raw materials) with 60 ones in each. The blank control group and the model control group were given 2 ml saline, the positive control group was given 2 ml concentrated dipsacus bone mixture, and Jiegu paste L group and H group was given 2 ml concentrated solution at low concentra-tion and high concentration, respectively, and all the groups were with the following regimen: ig,qd, for 28 days. The blood samples and callus specimens were obtained on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after fracture. Blood biochemical indices were detected, and HE staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results: Compared with those in the model control group, the serum calcium and phosphorus ion concentration in Jiegu paste H group significantly increased on the 14th and 21st day, and the serum AKP significantly increased on the 14th and 28th day (P<0. 05). The expression of CGRP in Jiegu paste H group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). There were no significant differences between H group and the positive control group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Jiegu paste can achieve the purpose of promoting fracture healing by improving the activity of serum AKP, in-creasing the concentration of calcium and phosphorus and regulating the activity of neuropeptide CGRP.

This review describes the major species,number,breeding pattern,ratio of fenced to freely grazed goat,suscepti?bility to Schistosoma japonicum,pattern of S. japonicum infection,infection rate,intensity of infection,fecal contamination of goat that were bred in 5 marshland and lake provinces of Hunan,Hubei,Jiangxi,Anhui and Jiangsu,and two mountainous provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan,and demonstrates the associations of infected goat distribution with the distribution of infect?ed Oncomelania hupensis snails and humans. Considering the huge number of goat which were predominantly grazed freely in marshland and lake endemic regions of China,the high infection rate,numerous environmental pollution by goat feces,as well as the close correlation between the infected goat distribution and infected snail distribution,goat is considered as a major infec?tious source for schistosomiasis japonica in China,and to play a critical role in the transmission of the disease. Since the control of schistosomiasis in animals is critical to schistosomiasis interruption and elimination,it is suggested that the integrated man?agement of goat schistosomiasis should be included in the national schistosomiasis control program of China.

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that severely threatens human health and affects the socioeconomic development. The causative agent that parasitizes in humans mainly involves Schistosoma japonicum,S. mansoni,S. haematobi-um,S. intercalatum and S. mekongi. As the firstly identified schistosome,S. haematobium infection is found to strongly correlate with bladder cancer. This paper mainly reviews the discovery,morphology and life cycle of S. haematobium.

ObjectiveTo study the validation of rehabilitation for deaf children with multichannel cochlear implant and to explore the relationship between the age and the rehabilitation effectiveness, and the change of the effectiveness over time.Methods24 prelingually deafened children with multichannel cochlear implant were investigated. And they were divided into two groups (more than 3 years old and less than 3 yeas old). The validation of rehabilitation was assessed in different times before the operation, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months after the operation.ResultsThe longer the rehabilitation, the better the validation(P<0.05). The speed of the first group (more than 3 yeas old) is slower than the other group by the time(P<0.05).ConclusionDeaf children with cochlear implant may take more rehabilitation training after the operation.
