The aim of informed consent is to regard patients as the centre of medical service.Physician-patient communication is an effective way to improve the construction of a harmonious physician-patient in medical practice,so more attention should be paid to the communication.

This study was aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of Shen-Kang Injection (SKI) combined with hemodialysis in the treatment of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. A total of 41 end-stage CRF patients under the hemodialysis treatment were randomly divided into the SKI treatment group of 19 cases and a control group of 22 cases. Both groups were treated with standard dialysis and the hemodialysis was maintained in the same symp-tomatic treatment conditions. Patients in the control group underwent three hemodialysis treatments in one week, while those in the treatment group were given hemodialysis twice a week based on the symptomatic treatment. And SKI was given after each time of hemodialysis in the treatment group. Indexes and changes in serum creati-nine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, dialysis adequacy, nutrition status, traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) syndrome and other aspects of both groups were observed . The results showed that in the treatment group and control group, there were no significant differences in the renal function, dialysis adequacy, nutrition indica-tors and electrolyte ( P > 0 . 05 ) . In the treatment group , the total efficiency of TCM syndrome was 84 . 21%. And the total efficiency of TCM syndrome in the control group was 45.45%. The treatment group was better than the control group (P < 0.05). Symptoms such as scaly dry skin, numbness of the four limbs and dry stool were not obviously improved . And there was no statistical significance ( P > 0 . 05 ) . Symptoms such as fatigue , shortness of breath, poor appetite, dizziness, headache, lower back pain and spontaneous sweating were improved significantly. And there was statistical significance ( P < 0 . 05 ) . The treatment group was better than the control group . There were no abnormalities in the routine tests of blood, urine and stool, electrocardiogram, liver function, renal func-tion and electrolyte. In the treatment group, there was no significant adverse reactions during patients received SKI. The SKI has good safety. It was concluded that SKI combined with hemodialysis in the treatment of CRF is able to improve the clinical symptoms of patients and improve the patients' quality of life. When patient received adequate dialysis, SKI may reduce the dialysis frequency per week.

BACKGROUND: Thoracolumbar burst fracture Dennis type B does not have significant damage in the intervertebral discs of the inferior vertebral body. To reduce fusion segment and remain normal intercalated disc, single discectomy (damaged vertebral body and supervisor vertebral body) is proposed, but because of the damage to the vertebral body, implanted screw is easy to loose following excising partial vertebral body, even cannot be fixed. However, it is still unknown whether implanted screw in the inferior vertebral body of the damaged vertebral body was stabilized using two segment discectomy with fixation.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the feasibility of single segmental spinal interbody fusion with bisegment fixation for thoracolumbar burst fracture type B.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled in vitro study was conducted at the Laboratory of Biomechanics, Southern Medical University from June 2007 to June 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 20 fresh freezing 7-9 months pig samples (T_(13)?L_3 segment) were used, comprising 10 integral samples and 10 L_1 type B thoracolumbar burst fracture samples prepared by pre-injury and weight dropping technique.METHODS: Pig fresh thoracolumbar specimens from T_(13)?L_3 were collected to create models of type B thoracolumbar burst fracture. There were 4 groups in this study. Ten of them were selected as intact group (n=10) (fresh pig T_(13)?L_3 segment). T_1 vertebral endplate pre-injury and weight dropping technique and incremental trauma approach were used. Denis' type B burst fracture was produced, and ten of them were selected as unstable group (n=10). Firstly, unstable group was decompressed by discectomy and semivertebraectomy in upper half of the vertebral body, single level was fused with iliac and U-FRONT anterior thoracolumbar system were placed between T_(14) and L_2, as single discectomy with fixation group (n=10). Then lower disc of injury vertebra discectomy and vertebraectomy, fused with iliac U-FRONT anterior thoracolumbar system were placed between T_(14) and L_2, as two segment discectomy with fixation group (n=10). The bone graft was longer 1 mm than the bone graft region.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The flexion, extension, right/left lateral bending, and right/left axial rotation range of motion (ROM) of T_(14)?L_2 were measured in each group on the spinal three-motional test machine at 10 N穖.RESULTS: The flexion, extension, right/left lateral bending, and right/left axial rotation were not stable in the unstable group.ROM was significantly increased in the unstable group compared with the intact group (P< 0.01). The primary stability was significantly elevated in the single discectomy with fixation and two segment discectomy with fixation groups. The flexion, extension, right/left lateral bending, and right/left axial rotation ROM were significantly reduced in the single discectomy with fixation and two segment discectomy with fixation groups compared with the unstable group (P < 0.05). The flexion, extension, right/left lateral bending ROM was significantly decreased in the two groups compared with the intact group, but axial rotation ROM was significantly increased (P< 0.05). Axial rotation ROM was smaller in the single discectomy with fixation group compared with the two segment discectomy with fixation group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Single segmental spinal interbody fusion with bisegment fixation for thoracolumbar burst fracture type B had a good immediate stability in flexion, extension, lateral bending motion. Compared with traditional partial corpectomy L_1 between the caudal and cranial endplate of the adjacent vertebrae with bisegmental fixation, it had a better immediate stability in axial rotation.

Objective To study the anatomy basis and biomechanical stability of euthyphoria reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for sacroiliac dislocation,and to evaluate the primary clinical efficacy of this method.Methods The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were measured on 12 adult cadavers (24 sides) fixed and preserved by formalin.Models of sacroiliac dislocation were made on six pelvic specimens of fresh cadavers.A comparison of stability was made on the six models between the fixation studied here and the traditional fixations by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws and by anterior sacroiliac joint plates.At the same time,17 patients with type C Tile fracture were treated with our method.The clinical efficacy was analyzed for the 17 patients.Results The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were 20.24?1.20mm,23.80?1.43mm,and 16.26?2.07 mm respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in stability between our method and the traditional fixation by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws,though ours seemed better.Follow-ups for the 17 cases averaged 2.2 years,re- vealing fine functional recovery in all according to Matta scoring.Conclusions Euthyphoria reduction and per- cutaneous cannulated screw fixation can lead to sufficient biomechanical stability for the sacroiliac joint and effec- tively avoid nervous injuries.In addition,our method is simple and clinically effective,It is recommendable for small and middle-sized hospitals.

Background and objective With the most recent introduction of microarray technology to biology, it becomes possible to perform comprehensive analysis of gene expression in cancer cell. In this study the laser microdissection technique and cDNA microarray analysis were combined to obtain accurate molecular profiles of lymphatic metastasis in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Primary lung squamous cancer tissues and regional lymph nodes were obtained from 10 patients who underwent complete resection of lung cancer. According to the source of lung cancer cells, the samples were classified into three groups: the primary tumor with lymphatic metastasis (TxN+, n=5), the primary tumor without lymphatic metastasis (TxN-, n=5) and matched tumor cells from metastatic lymph nodes (N+, n=5). Total RNA was extracted from laser microdissected tumor samples. Adequate RNA starting material of mRNA from primary tumor or metastatic nodes were labeled and then hybridized into the same microarray containing 6 000 known, named human genes/ESTs. After scanning, data analysis was performed using GeneSpringTM6.2. Results A total of 37 genes were found to be able to separate TxN+ from TxN-. TxN+ have higher levels of genes concerned with structural protein, signal transducer, chaperone and enzyme. TxN- have higher levels of genes coding for cell cycle regulator, transporter, signal transducer and apoptosis regulator. Interestingly, there were no differentially expressed genes between N+ and TxN+.Conclusion The acquisition of the metastatic phenotype might occur early in the development of lung squamons cancer. We raise the hypothesis that the gene-expression signature described herein is valuable to elucidate the molecular mechanisms regarding lymphatic metastasis and to look for novel therapeutic targets.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical critical illness, and ischemic kidney injury is the main type. The mortality rate of ischemic kidney injury is high, because the efficacy of treatment is limited due to symptomatic and supportive treatment. Establishing a reliable animal model of ischemic AKI is an important prerequisite for conducting research on physiological, pathological and pharmacological researches, so as to explore effective prevention methods and strategies. In recent years, the establishment methods of animal models of ischemic AKI have been continuously improved. The article summarizes the common methods and model characteristics of animal models of ischemic AKI in order to provide a reference for researchers to choose a reasonable modeling method.

Objective:To study the distribution of TCM constitutions in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. The general clinical data, dialysis-related parameters and physical and chemical examination data of MHD patients from 6 dialysis centers in Sichuan were collected. At the same time, DS01-A tongue and facial pulse information collection system was used for TCM constitution discrimination.Results:A total of 232 MHD patients were enrolled , and 417 kinds of TCM constitutions were detected, including 59 patients (25.43%) with moderate constitution and 173 patients (74.57%) with biased constitution. Phlegm-dampness was the most common type of solid constitution 47 patients (20.26%). The most common deficiency constitution was qi deficiency 86 patients (37.07%). There were certain differences in the physical distribution of patients with different gender, age, dialysis age, BMI, and whether they had diabetes, hypertension or anemia.Conclusions:The TCM constitutions of MHD patients are mainly biased constitution. Gender, age, BMI, diabetes or hypertension have a certain impact on the distribution of TCM constitutions. At the same time, different constitutions may have an impact on the anemia of MHD patients. The intervention of TCM constitutions on MHD patients may be beneficial to the prognosis of MHD patients.
