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 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

Purpose:To analyze the dependence of a cu te esophagitis (AE) on the dose and volume of irradiated esophagus during concur rent chemoradiation therapy of NSCLC.Methods:39 NSCLC patients previously treated with concurrent ch emoradiation therapy were studied , a subset of 62 patients who were recruited e arlier in a randomized phase Ⅲ study designed to evaluate the effect of amifost ine. The radiotherapy regimen was 1.2 Gy/fraction, Bid to a total dose of 69.6 G y. In this study 19 and 20 patients were in the control arm and amifostine arm, respectively. The AE score, evaluated by the RTOG acute morbidity criteria, was collected for each treatment week and one month following radiotherapy. DVH of t he esophagus was computed. A multivariate random-effect logistic model was used to investigate the correlation between the incidence of AE and various dose-vo lume factors among these 39 patients. The variables analyzed included total tumo r dose (TD), the mean and maximum dose to esophagus, the volume of esophagus tre ated above certain dose, and the dose of the esophagus treated to certain volume .Results:Among the 39 patients studied, two patients of the amif ostine arm (11%) and six patients of the non-amifostine arm (30%) experienced g rade Ⅲ AE. Grade Ⅲ AE was first seen at week 4th after a cumulative tumor dose to 36 Gy. However after week 4, it did not increase significantly with dose. Th e cumulative TD and patient sensitivity were found to have the strongest and sta tistically significant influence on the risk of AE in all dose and volume factor s.Conclusions:The risk of severe (grade Ⅲ) AE was associated wit h the cumulative dose to tumor and intrinsic patient sensitivity. Due to the tim e course of the development of AE, the daily dose rate or the cumulative dose by the 4th week of the treatment may be more predicative for the risk of AE rather than the total dose from the entire treatment course. Current clinical practice in using the total dose to assess the normal-tissue toxicity may need to be ad justed to account for the onset time of the acute end-point.

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 .

This paper introduces the basic concept of man-machine interaction technique and the pathological and physiology basis of its application in guiding equipment. Based on the analysis of demands of blind people, the design for novel intelligent guiding equipment based on man-machine interaction technique was proposed. This method used multiple sense information mainly by infrared technique to detect obstruction and control the advancing direction of whole guiding equipment through the intellectualized judgment and processing by microprocessor to guide the blind. In addition, the principle and process of detecting method, control function, command definition, program design and debugging improvement of the guiding equipment were introduced, and its application and prospect were discussed.

This study introduced the producing theory and producing region of electroencephalogram(EEG)signal as well as containing physiological information and analyzed the purpose,method and procedure of EEG signal pattern recognition,as well as the latest development and related medical theory of EEG signal acquisition.The procedure of EEG signal pattern recognition consisted of information acquisition,preprocessmg,feature extraction and selection,classification estimation and recognition.By studying the association between EEG signal and prosthetic movement,it was concluded that EEG signal controlling prosthesis was feasible.Therefore,a prosthetic controlled system was designed based on EEG signal pattern recognition and acquisition.The system initiated from scalp electrode(or prosthetic electrode),passed through differential amplifier circuit(or prosthetic drive circuit),pre-amplifier circuit,trap circmt,med-amplifier circuit,and filter circuit,and finally reached analog-to-digital converter.It was proven to satisfy various
