Objective To improve the understanding,diagnosis and treatment for urethra syndrome of menopausal women.Methods 626 female patients with urethra syndrome took nilestriol of 2 mg/2 weeks orally after initating invalid antibiotic therapy.Then the therapeutic effects were observed and compared.Results 143 cases showed specially remarkable effect (2 weeks),426 cases presented remarkable effect (4 weeks),55 cases produced obvious effect (6 weeks) and 2 cases had common effect (8 weeks).The total effective rate was 100%.There was no complication.Conclusion Nilestriol supplementary treatment for urethra syndrome of menopausal women (1～2 mg/2 weeks) is safe and reliable with good effect.

Objective To evaluate zinc therapy in the management of infertility due to semen of poor quality. Methods Oral 0.05% zinc gluconate was instituted to 876 cases of male infertility due to semen of poor quality (group A) and 10% calcium gluconate orally to 116 patients as controls (group B).548 men with normal semen served as normal contrast (group C).Semen routine and zinc content in semen fluid and blood semen were assessed 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the treatment in all.Their couples were followed up for pregnancy or not. Results There was a significant difference of parameters on semen examination and zinc content in semen fluid and blood serum before and after treatment in group A(P0.05).However,there was a significant difference of these parameters between group C and both group B and group A after the drug administration (P

Objective To study the changes and clinical significance of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) ,tissue inhibi-tor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in infants with early wheezing .Methods Ser-um levels of MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and VEGF in 116 infants with early wheezing(wheeling group)and 36 healthy infant (control group) were detected by using ELISA .Results Serum levels of MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and VEGF in wheeling group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0 .05);In wheeling group ,there was a linear relationship between the level of MMP-9 and VEGF ;the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 was significantly lower in wheeling groups than in control group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The infants with early wheezing have the dangerous of airway remodeling .Detection of serum levels of MMP-9 ,TIMP-1 and VEGF is of a cer-tain significance for intervention therapy to wheezing infants as early as possible .

Objective:To observe therapeutic effect of captopril treatment on aged patients with essential hyperten‐sion (EH) and complications and evaluate its safety .Methods :A total of 116 aged EH patients ,who were compli‐cated with dyslipidemia ,diabetes mellitus etc . were selected from our hospital .According to random number table , they were randomly and equally divided into atenolol control group and captopril group (received captopril based on treatment of atenolol control group) .Blood pressure ,heart rate ,fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and blood lipids were observed and compared between two groups ,the therapeutic effect and adverse reactions were assessed .Re‐sults:After treatment ,total effective rate of captopril group was significantly higher than that of atenolol control group (98.28% vs .87.93% ,P<0.05);compared with atenolol control group ,there were significant reductions in levels of blood pressure [ (131.20 ± 11.02/82.01 ± 6.75) mmHg vs .(115.62 ± 10.27/75.68 ± 5.21) mmHg] ,heart rate [ (65.14 ± 6.32) beats/min vs .(57.21 ± 4.02) beats/min] ,FPG [ (4.75 ± 1.36) mmol vs .(3.65 ± 1.24) mmol] ,total cholesterol [ (2.69 ± 0.58) mmol/L vs .(2.10 ± 0.41) mmol/L] ,triglyceride [ (0.96 ± 0.41) mmol/L vs .(0.72 ± 0.35) mmol/L] and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [ (1.95 ± 0.57) mmol/L vs .(1.71 ± 0.40) mmol/L] in captopril group ,P<0.05 or <0.01 .There were no obvious adverse reactions occurred in both groups . Conclusion:Compared with atenolol ,captopril treatment possesses better therapeutic effect without adverse reac‐tions in aged patients with essential hypertension and complications ,which is worth extending .

Low-triiodothyronine syndrome is a condition characterized by decreased total serum T 3 and free T3 , along with in-creased serum reverse triiodothyronine but normal levels of thyroxine and thyrotropin .However , it is not caused by the thyroid gland diseases.The latest research progress of mechanisms , diagnosis and clinical significance , and therapy strategy of low T 3 syndrome is reviewed in this paper .

[Objective]To assess the protective effects of Xianlinggubao on articular cartilage and subchondral bone in experimental osteoarthritis induced by anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT)in rabbits. [Methods]Thirty healthy Japanese white rabbits were divided randomly into three groups:sham group,ACLT+XLGB group and ACLT+ NS group. Rabbits in ACLT+XLGB group and ACLT+NS group received anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)on the right knee. Rabbits in sham group received untreatment as control. ACLT+XLGB group received a daily administration of XLGB at a dose of 125 mg/kg of body weight for 6 weeks.In contrast,ACLT+NS group received saline at the same dose. All rabbits were sacrificed at 6 weeks after operation. The right femora were removed,measured for bone mineral density (BMD),and then were observed for the macro-pathologic changes with HE staining and graded by Mankin's scale. Expression levels of BMP-2 and MMP-13 were detected by immunostaining. The subchondral bone of right tibial plateau was cut and stained for the measurement of bone histomorphometry.[Results](1)The Mankin's score in ACLT+ XLGB group was significantly lower than that in ACLT+ NS group (P

[Objective]To investigate the effects of alendronate(ALN)on subchondral bone and articular cartilage in the rat osteoarthritis model induced by anterior cruciate ligament transaction(ACLT).[Method]Twenty-four three-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into three groups:Sham group(n=8),ACLT+NS group(n=8) and ACLT+ALN group(n=8)(20 ?g?kg-1?2 d-1 subcutaneous injection for 12 weeks).Bone mineral density(BMD) measurement and bone histomorphometric analysis were made for the subchondral bone of right distal femur and proximal tibia in all rats at 12 weeks post surgery.Degree of cartilage degeneration was scored by Mankin scoring system.Immunostaining for matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13) was performed to investigate the effect of ALN on cartilage matrix loss.[Result]BMD of the subchondral bone in the ACLT+NS group were significantly lower than those in the Sham group and the ACLT+ALN group(P

Objective To study the management of female urethral syndrome complicated by mental diseases in the aged. Metho ds 103 patients were randomly grouped into A and B.Nilestrioli,2mg e very 2 weeks,was instituted to the patients in Group A whereas to patients in Gr oup B,sedatives was instituted in addition to nilestrioli.The therapeutic result was evaluated in the 4th and 8th week.In patients with symptoms unrelieved,diaz epom injection and urethral perfuson of lidocaine were undertaken and the therap eutic effect was studied in the first,second,third and the fourth week. Results In Group A,the symptoms relieved only in 2 out of 46 whe reas in Group B 49 of the 57 patients have had the symptoms relieved (P

As the key phase for medical students to be doctors,clinical internship plays a vital role in the whole medical education process.Interns in the department of gastrointestinal surgery face series of difficulties,such as wide variety of diseases and emergence of new technology and new concepts.In addition,because of the uneven levels of teachers and low enthusiasm of interns,the result of clinical practice teaching is not satisfactory.Based on the above-mentioned problems,measures have been introduced during the process of clinical practice teaching,including selection of typical diseases and surgical procedures,construction of clinical practice teaching team,adoption of pluralistic teaching methods,reinforcement of participation of interns during the clinical practice.Finally,the quality of teaching in our department has been irmproved significandy.
