Since the oral rehydration salts solution(ORS) has been used to treat acute diarrhea of children, there are different kinds of ORS in order to satisfy the need of clinical work. They are the initial WHO-ORS, other substances-supplemented ORS and the reduced osmolarity ORS, each of which has their own efficiency and advantage.

AIM: To study if the effect of arsenic sulfide combined with IFN-α can be increased on K562 cells. METHODS: Telomerase activity was determined by PCRELISA. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell apoptosis. The final concentration of IFN-α and arsenic sulfide was 10 000 U/mL and 0.6 mg/L. RESULTS: The rates of apoptosis was 37.8% and 37% in K562 cells treated with IFN-α or arsenic sulfide alone for 8 days; The rates of apoptosis and inhibition of telomerase activity was 59.9% and 81.2% in K562 cells treated with IFN-α and arsenic sulfide simultaneously for 8 days, or 60.37% and 78.8% in K562 cells was treated with arsenic sulfide for 5 days after affected by IFN-α for 3 days. 71.3% telomerase activity was inhibited in K562 cells by arsenic sulfide alone for 8 days. CONCLUSION: Combination of arsenic sulfide and IFN-α can increase the apoptosis and inhibit the telomerase activity of K562 cells obviously comparing with the two drugs used alone. IFN-α maybe promote arsenic sulfide inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.

This paper explored the educational reform of dispensing Chinese drugherbs. The education reform included implementing the project of teaching methods, implementing modern experimental methods, cultivating comprehensive quality of students, training students' creative thinking, and stimulating the initiative of students. All these strategies could improve the quality of teaching and make students' comprehensive abilities meet the demand.

To observe the incidence of high intraocular pressure ( lOP ) and its risk factors in the early stage (within 7d) after 23 - gauge sutureless microincisional vitrectomy.
●METHODS: Retrospective case series study. Totally 98 patients ( 98 eyes ) who had undergone 23 - gauge sutureless microincisional vitrectomy were enrolled. lOP was measured by non-contact tonometry. High lOP was defined as an lOP > 25mmHg at any time within 7d after surgery. The influence of age, sex, side of operation, course of disease, primary disease pre - operation, reoperation, surgical options, type of tamponade, status of lens, surgical time on postoperative high lOP were analyzed.
● RESULTS: High lOP was found in 33 eyes ( 33. 7%) within 7d after surgery. High lOP was found in 8 eyes on postoperative 1d, the incidence was 24. 2% (8 / 33), and 25 eyes was found on postoperative 3d, the incidence was 75. 8% (25 / 33). The incidence of high lOP of male and female were 32. 8% ( 20 / 61 ) and 35. 1% ( 13 / 37 ) respectively. The incidence of high lOP of right and left eye were 36. 8% (21 / 57) and 29. 3% (12 / 41) respectively. There were no significant differences comparing age (Z =-0. 22), sex( χ2 = 0. 057), side of operation( χ2 = 0. 612), course of disease (Z= -0.079) and surgical time (Z= -0. 553) between patients with high lOP and those without it (P>0. 05). Similarly, no statistical significance was found between eyes with gas tamponade and silicone oil tamponade (χ2 = 1. 04), traumatic eyes and non traumatic eyes(χ2 = 0. 044), and retinal detachment eyes and without retinal detachment eyes ( χ2 = 2. 282, P > 0. 05 ). The incidence of high lOP in eyes with several operations was higher than that in eyes with the first operation ( χ2 =5. 211,P< 0. 05), in eyes with combined operations eyes was significantly higher than that in eyes with pure vitrectomy (χ2 = 4. 57,P< 0. 05), and in eyes with aphakic eye was higher than that in eyes with phakic eyes ( χ2 =4. 224,P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON:High lOP occurs commonly in 3d after 23- gauge sutureless microincisional vitrectomy. The risk factors of high lOP are reoperation, combined operations and aphakic eye.

Objective To describe the epidemiological characteristics and relative factors of adults with overweight and obesity in Liaoning province.Methods With multi-stage randomized cluster sampling,8 120 cases were selected from the 540 families in seven urban and suburb districts of Liaoning province.data of overweight and obesity history and social- economic status for residents aged 18 yrs and over were investigated by face-to-face interview,weight and height of these subjects were measured.Result the overweight rate was 33.9%,the obesity rate was 13.7%.The prevalent rates of overweight and obesity were increased with the age and it was higher in city than in rural and in female than in male(all P

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of breast MRI in patients presenting with microcalcifications on mammography.Methods Eight four patients were retrospectively analyzed,who had mammographically detected BI-RADS (breast imaging reporting and data system) 3 to 5 microcalcifications and underwent breast MRI before surgical biopsy.All mammography and MR images were reviewed with BI-RADS.With histopathological diagnosis as golden standard,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the two methods were calculated and compared with x2 test or Fisher exact test.The diagnostic efficacy of the two methods was compared with ROC curve.Results Pathologic examination revealed 91 lesions in 84 patients including 49 benign lesions and 42 malignant lesions.For 21 lesions of category 3 microcalcifications,the specificity of mammography and MR was 100.0％ (21/21) and 95.2％ (20/21),which had no significant difference (P=1.000).For 51 lesious of category 4,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0％(23/23),0 and 45.1％(23/51).The corresponding values for MR were 91.3％(21/23),82.1％ (23/28) and 86.3％ (44/51).The difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods was statistical significant(x2 value was 30.030 and 19.182,respectively,with P＜0.01),but not for sensitivity(x2=0.523,P=0.470).Nineteen lesions of category 5 were all correctly diagnosed on mammography and MRI.For all the 91 lesions,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0％(42/42),42.9％(21/49) and 69.2％(63/91),respectively.The corresponding values for MRI were 95.2 ％(40/42),87.8％(43/49) and 91.2％(83/91).There was significant difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods (x2 value was 21.798 and 13.851,respectively,with P＜0.05),but not for sensitivity (x2=0.512,P=0.474).The areas under ROC curve for mammography and MR were 0.844,0.945(P＜0.01),for the estimation of the benign and the malignent.Conclusions Compared with mammography,breast MRI significantly improved the diagnosis of category 4 microcalcifications with increased specificity and accuracy.But for microcalcifications of category 3 and 5,MR didn't improve the diagnostic effect.

The expression of sLea/x which correlates with conventional histopathologic parameters serves as a useful indicator for the prognosis of metastatic disease. The bindings between sLea/x and their common ligand E-selectin initiate hematogenous metastasis of cancer. Certain bioactive conformation is crucial for the interaction between sLea/x and their ligands. Thus, a new class of compounds that mimic the structures of sLea/x can potently inhibit not only their functional bindings to selectins, but also the metastasis of cancer. This review is mainly on the sLea/x molecular structure,biosynthesis,distribution, especially the relationship between sLea/x and hematogenous metastasis of cancer and the design of drugs that mimic the structures of sLea/x.

Objective To evaluate the development of immature oocytes after freezing-thawing by conventional cryopreservation method for mature oocytes.Methods Immature oocytes were collected from stimulated ovaries of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)cycles.Immature oocytes were in vitro matured directly or after slow freezing-fast thawing and immunostained for tubulin and chromatin and at last visualized by confocal microscopy.Results No statistical difference was found in maturity rate between freezing groups and the controls.There was a statistically significant increase in abnormalities of chromosome(23.7% vs. 50%)and spindle(28.9% vs.53.9%)in the GV freezing group compared with the GV control(P
