The development and progression of atherosclerosis and thrombosis are closely related to changes of hemodynamics parameters. Ultrasonic pulse wave Doppler technique is normally used for noninvasively blood flow imaging. However, this technique only provides one-dimensional velocity and depends on the angle between the ultrasound beam and the local velocity vector. In this study, ultrasonic particle image velocimetry method was used to assess whole field hemodynamic changes in normal blood vessels. By using the polynomial fitting method, we investigated the velocity gradient and assessed the shear in different blood flow velocity of 10 healthy rats. It was found that using four polynomial fitting could result in optimal measurement results. The results obtained by ultrasonic particle image velocimetry accorded with the results obtained using Doppler technique. The statistical average of cyclical vessel wall shear stress was positively related to the locational mean velocity. It is proven that ultrasonic particle image velocimetry method could be used to assess directly the real-time whole field hemodynamic changes in blood vessels and was non-invasively, and should be a good prosperous technique for monitoring complex blood flow in stenotic ar- teries.

There are a lot of medical colleges which carry out foreign student medical education in our country. On the basis of clinical theory situation and problems of foreign students medical education,Xuzhou Medical College implemented a number of reform measures and achieved good teaching effect.These measures included writing new syllabus of oversea students and reforming multiform teaching methods and the pattern of examination and evaluation for clinical theory.

Objective To study changes of trigemino-cervical reflex (TCR) in patients with Kennedy's disease (KD). Methods The parameters of TCR were analyzed among patients with KD, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and healthy controls. Results The parameters of ipsilateral P19, N31, A and contralateral P19, N31, A among patients with KD were (23.91±4.84), (35.45±4.76) ms, 1.24± 0.33 and (24.34±4.82), (36.20±4.91) ms, 1.19±0.25, respectively. Compared with the healthy controls((18.37±2.16), (28.50±1.56) ms, 1.90±0.43; (18. 72±2. 18), (29. 19±1.43) ms, 1.84 ± 0. 40), the difference in each parameter was significant (ipsilateral : t = 5.77, 8. 19, -6. 64; contralateral:5.05, 7.62, -7.77, all P<0.01). Conclusion The parameters of TCR were abnormal in KD patients, indicating that the trigeminal nerves and the bulbar may be involved in the disease.

BACKGROUND:Periarticular multimodal drug cocktail injection for pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been reported,but there are few studies concerning its effect on the range of motion and volume of drainage postoperative,and difference to nerve block.OBJECTIVE:To compare the analgesic effect of periarticular multimodal drug injection and nerve block in TKA.METHODS:Fifty-eight patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from 1 June 2016 to 31 October 2016 were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (n=29 per group),followed by received a periarticular intraoperative injection of a 100 mL mixture containing ropivacaine,epinephrine,morphine,and normal saline,and preoperative combined femoral and sciatic nerve block,respectively.Subsequently,the Visual Analogue Scale scores,and range of motion,volume of drainage,hospitalization time,number of the patients given remedial analgesia and complications were compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The Visual Analogue Scale scores at rest in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 3 days after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The Visual Analogue Scale scores on movement in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 1,2 and 3 days after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).(3) There were no significant differences in the range of motion,volume of drainage,hospitalization time and number of the patients give remedial analgesia between two groups postoperatively (P ＞ 0.05).(4) None appeared with obvious nausea,vomiting and other complications in the two groups.(5) These results indicate that the analgesic effect of periarticular multimodal drug injection is superior to nerve block,and the former is easy to operate,economical and practical.

Objective To explore the effects of combination of capecitabine and docetaxel for the treatment on advanced breast cancer and their influence on tumor biomarkers.Methods The 75 cases with advanced breast cancer were randomly recruited from December 2010 to December 2015 in our hospital,and they were divided into the observation group (38 cases) and control group (37 cases) according to the admission time,the patients in control group were treated with docetaxel,while patients in the observation group were treated with combination of capecitabine and docetaxel,the clinical efficacy before and after treatment was observed,and the changes of serum CEA,glucose CA125,CA15-3 and adverse reaction were compared between two groups.Results The effective rate (RR) of the control group was 40.54% (15/37),and the disease control rate (DCR) was 67.57% (25/37).The RR was 63.16% (24/38) and DCR was 86.84% (33/38)in the observation group.There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups on the the levels of serum tumor biomarker,CEA,CA125 and CA15-3 before treatment (P>0.05);After treatment,the levels of CEA,CA125 and CA15-3 in both two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05);Moreover,after treatment,the observation group of three tumor biomarkers were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Combination of capecitabine and docetaxel in the treatment of advanced breast cancer can reduce the serum tumor biomarkers significantly,attenuate the side effects,and the patients are in the good tolerance,it can be widely recommended in clinical use.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yigan Fupi Decoction (YFD) in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) patients.

METHODSA randomized controlled clinical trail was carried out in patients with IBS-D. All patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (58 cases, treated with YFD) and the control group (58 cases, treated with Pinaverium Bromide Tablet). The treatment course was 4 weeks for all patients. The total effective rate, the stool property and state, the quality of life (QOL), and TCM syndrome efficacy were assessed by IBS bowel symptom severity scale (IBS-BSS), IBS defecation state questionnaire (IBS-DSQ), IBS quality of life questionnaire (IBS-QOL), and traditional Chinese medicine pattern curative effect scoring system (TCM-PES) before and after treatment.

RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (82.76% vs. 77.59%, P > 0.05). The treatment group was superior in the total IBS-BSS integral to the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of improving the stool property was better in the treatment group than in the control group (81.03% vs. 72.41%, P < 0.05). Besides, the number of days for emergent defecation among 10 days was less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of the total IBS-QOL integral and the total integral of TCM syndrome were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.01). The total effective rate of TCM-PES was better in the treatment group than in the control group (84.48% vs. 70.69%, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONYFD was effective in the treatment of IBS-D patients of Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome, and could effectively relieve bowel symptoms, improve the stool property and the defecation frequency, elevate their QOL, and attenuate Gan-qi invading Pi syndrome with favorable safety and compliance.
