China Pharmacy 2001;0(12):-
OBJECTIVE:To observe the synergism and attenuation of Fermented Radix Astragali Powder(FAP)on Cyc-lophosphamide(Cy),a tumor chemotherapeutics,and to explore more economical and effective assistant chemotherapeutics.METHODS:In synergism experiments,the mice tumor models(S180 and H22 solid tumor and H22 ascitic tumor)were used to observe the effects of FAP combined with Cy on tumor control rate and survival time of mice.In attenuation experiments,the effects of FAP against toxic reactions including myelosuppression,atrophy of immune organs,and lesions on renal function induced by high dose of Cy in mice were observed.RESULTS:FAP did enhanced the the antitumor effect of Cy on S180 and H22 solid tumor,lessened Cy-induced toxic reactions such as aleucocytosis,the reduction of the nucleated cells in bone marrow and the weight loss of spleen in mice,meanwhile,it showed protective effect on renal function yet without no significant influence on hepatic function.CONCLUSION:FAP has synergistic and attenuation effects on Cy.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2006;0(07):-
Objective To investigate the state of glucocorticoid(GC) - induced osteoporosis (GIOP) and the current prevention of GIOP in patients with primary glomerulonephritis. Methods Primary glomerulonephritis patients receiving GC therapy were observed and bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine and the femoral neck were measured. Age, sex, body - mass - index, smoking history, the time and accumulative dose of GC treatment, and the state of osteoporosis prevention were investigated, the factors that influence the BMD were analyzed. Results A total of one hundred and twenty- three patients were included in this study. Among them, osteoporosis and os-teopenia were found in 82 patients (66.7%). Lumbar spine BMD decrease gradually with the increase of the accumulative dose of GC. There were statistical differences in the BMD of lumbar spine in patients with receving GC at the period of less than 1 month compared with other groups( 1-12 months) (P

Objective To investigate the optimal mild hypothermia course and cerebral temperature of the neonatal rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Methods The posthypoxic-ischemic rats of experimental group (n=60) were placed in the glass jars immeresd in water bath held constaut at either 29 C or 3l C for 24h, 48h or 72h. While the rats of room temperature group (n=22) were stayed in room air. Blood glucose, blood gases and neuropathology findings were studied to determine the therapeutic effects. Results The brain temperature droped 3C or 5C when enviro ment temperature was 31C or 29C respectively. The blood glucose remained normal. Neuropathology findings reveled that the brain damage of experimental rats reduced 46%~86% compared to the room temperature group. Conclusion Reducing the cerebral temperature by 4~5 C for 72 hours after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury can lead to superior protective effect.

Objective To discuss the image of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) about high myopia. Methods Tweenty seven patients (54 eyes) with high myopia underwent ocular examination, fundus color photography, simultaneous ICGA and fluorescein angiography (FFA) with the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope.The findings for the two modes of amgiographies were compared. Results Lacquer crack was evident on ICGA in 19 eyes among which the focal, plaque choroidal neovascularization (CNV) were apparent in the middle part of lacquer cracks in 10 eyes (52.6%) .In comparison the lacquer cracks were seen in only 7 eyes on FFA. Choroidal capillary atrophy was seen on ICGA and FFA in 14 eyes and ICGA shew thick choroidal vessels in 3 eyes. Conclusion ICGA is superior to FFA for showing choroidoretinal degeneration and atrophy,lacquer crack and CNV in high myopic eyes, and conduce to evaluating prognosis.

Objective:To check the clinical effect of Multi-channel Brain Magnetic Stimulation Machine.Method:Sixteen volunteers are divided into two groups.Members of the first group which is the corresponding group listen to news material in the sober state and then answer the questionnaire.At last their EEG is collected.Members of the second group listen to the same material in the sober state and they are stimulated at the forehead and temporal area by Multi-channel Brain Magnetic Stimulation Machine at the same time.They also answer the questionnaire under the magnetic stimulation at forehead and their EEG is collected,too.Result:Answers of the second group are obviously better than the first group.The power spectrum of EEG at the forehead,temporal,parietal region and even the whole brain area in the first group is stronger than that of the second.Conclusion:Multi-channel Brain Magnetic Stimulation Machine excites brain in a way and then helps people complete the job better.

Purpose To discuss changes of macular choriocapillaris hemodynamics in AMD. Methods Eighty six eyes of 86 patients underwent ICGA,including macular drusen in 15 eyes of 15 patients,exudative AMD in 52 eyes of 52 patients,atrophic AMD in 19 eyes of 19 patients,for the observation of macular choriocapillaris perfusion. Results Choriocapillaris filling phase (CFP) of exudative AMD was obviously longer than that of eyes with normal, atrophic AMD and drusen groups ( P

ObjectiveTo observe and estimate the image characters of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in atrophic age-related macular degeneration(AMD) and macular drusen.MethodsFFA, ICGA and fundus photography were performed on 95 eyes of 73 atrophic AMD patients, including 19 patients (26 eyes) with depigmentation and atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), 15 (30 eyes) with macular drusen, and 39 (39 fellow eye) with unilateral exudative AMD. ResultsIn 26 eyes with depigmentation and atrophy of RPE, the result of FFA of 24 eyes with depigmentaion showed patch hyperfluorescence, and of ICGA showed patch hyperfluorescence and hypofluorescence on the late photographs; in 2 eyes with maplike atrophy of RPE, the result of FFA showed patch hyperfluorescence, and of ICGA showed choriocapillaris defect with sharply demarcated boundaries and hypofluorescence of large choroidal vessels. In 30 eyes with macular drusen, the result of FFA of 8 eyes with hard drusen showed hyperfluorescence, and of ICGA showed patch and spot hyperfluorescence; the result of FFA of 16 eyes with soft drusen showed hyperfluorescence, and of ICGA showed persistent patch hypofluorescence intermixed with cluster hyperfluorescence; and the result of FFA of 6 eyes with both soft and hard drusen showed hyperfluorescence, and of ICGA showed patch hyperfluorescence intermixed with hypofluorescence. When it was hypofluorescence in ICGA in patients with macular drusen, larger quantity and range of fluorescence were found in FFA than in ICGA; when it was hyperfluorescence in ICGA, smaller quantity and range of fluorescence were found in FFA than in ICGA. In 39 fellow eyes of unilateral exudative AMD, 32 or 31 eyes, examined by ICGA or FFA, had abnormal fluorescence of drusen and depigmentation and atrophy of RPE damage.ConclusionsSimultaneous examination of ICGA and FFA can be useful for accurate evaluation of fundus image characters of types of angiography in atrophic AMD.

Objective To investigate the nursing intervention on the effect of diagnosis and treatment of emergency patients with urolithiasis. Methods 98 patients with urolithiasis in emergency department of our hospital from January 2009 to January 2011 were randomly assigned into the observation group and the control group with 49 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, on this basis the observation group was given systemic nursing intervention. The tolerance, SAS score and satisfaction degree was compared. Results 40 patients in the observation group was well tolerated, accounting for 81.6%, significantly higher than 63.3% of the control group. SAS score and satisfaction degree of the observation group were significantly better than the control group. Conclusions Nursing intervention for emergency patients with urolithiasis can significantly reduce pain, improve the mental state and increase their satisfaction degree, which is worthy of clinical application.
