Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant neoplasm derived from cholangiocytes. The incidence of CCA is only lower than that of hepatocellular carcinoma and ranked the second in liver malignant cancers. The prognosis of CCA patients is poor and most patients will die within a few months after diagnosis. CCA is related to various risk factors, including primary sclerosing cholangitis, cirrhosis, certain chemical agents and liver fluke. Establishment of proper animal models of CCA can not only be helpful for understanding the mechanisms of incidence and development, but also lay a solid foundation for developing novel treatment strategies. Common animal models of CCA include carcinogen-induced models, implantation models, operation models, and genetically engineered models.

Objective To investigate the effect of active silver ions liquids on incontinence of patients with cerebrovascular diseases.Methods Forty-eight patients with incontinence from cerebrovascular diseases were randomly divided into the treatment group and control one in equal number:the control group was managed with washing and cleaning the perineum with warm water in the morning and evening and the treatment group with active antibacterial liquid silver ion liquids in the afternoon once a day.The two groups were compared in terms of red swelling,itching,papula,blister,local shallow ulcer and abscess in the skin around the perineum as well as the incidence of urinary system infections.Results The treatment group had significantly lower incidences of red swelling,itching,papula,blister,local shallow ulcer and abscess in the skin around the perineum as well as the incidence of urinary system infections,as compared to the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Cleaning perineum with active silver ions liquids is effective for the prevention of infections in the skin around the perineum and urinary system infections.

Objective To evaluate the effect of health education on blood glucose level in patients undergoing renal transplantation.Methods Two hundred and four patients who underwent renal transplantation were randomly assigned to the control group(n =102)and the intervention group(n =102).Participants of the control group received traditional health education,and those in the intervention group received general health education.Food intake,physical exercises.disease-related knowledge,treatment satisfaction,fasting plasma glucose and 2 h blood glucose were assessed at 6 months.Results Daily diet,physical exercises,disease-related knowledge,treatment satisfaction,and blood glucose control were significantly improved in the intervention group(all P＜ 0.05).Conclusion General health education may contribute to the control of hyperglycemia and improve long-term survival of renal transplantation receivera.

AIM: To determine adenosine content in Kudiezi Injection(Ixeris sonchifolia Hance). METHODS: HPLC was used with Shim-pack CLC-ODS(6.0 mm?150 mm,5 ?m). The mobile phase consisted of methanol-acelonitrile-0.025 mol?L -1 phosphoric acid (3∶4∶93). The flow rate was 1 mL?min -1 . The UV detection wavelength was at 260 nm. RESULTS: The adenosin content in Kudiezi Injection was 0.15/10 mL. The average recovery was 98.4%(n=5). CONCLUSION: HPLC can be used for the quality control of Kudiezi Injection Injection.

Objective: To study the effect of Lianhua Qingwen Capsule (LQC) on the growth and metabolism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to establish a new method to evaluate the consistency of LQC. Methods: The power-time curves and corresponding thermodynamic parameters such as appearance time (T), total heat output (Q), maximum power output (P), and growth rate constant (k) of P. aeruginosa were determined by microcalorimetry. The regression analysis was carried out with T, P, Q, and k as parameters, and the optimal parameters were selected according to the correlation coefficient to calculate the antibacterial effective rate. The effects of 11 batches of LQC and specially treated LQC samples on growth and metabolism of P. aeruginosa were determined by an index antibacterial effective rate to evaluate the antibacterial activity of LQC. Results: LQC had obvious inhibitory effect on P. aeruginosa in the range of 10.00 to 47.68 mg/mL, and the bacteriostatic efficacy and dosage of LQC had good correlation. By regression analysis, it was found that T was the best parameter in the four thermodynamic parameters, r = 0.990. The change of this parameter could directly evaluate the effect of LQC on the growth and metabolism of P. aeruginosa, with good stability. The appearance time was selected as a parameter to calculate its antibacterial effective rate (E). The results showed that there was no significant difference in E of different batches of LQC samples. And the E value was significantly changed when the sample was placed in a humid/high temperature environment. Conclusion: The microcalorimetric method can be used to evaluate the antibacterial activity and the quality consistency of LQC capsule, which has the high precision and good accuracy. The study has provided a new method to evaluate the quality consistency of TCM.

To explore the population composition and the morbidities and treatment of hypertension and diabetes mellitus among the patients at 4 community healthy service stations at Gaobeidian,Chaoyang District of Beijing during the period of February 2009 to October 2010.A cross-sectional survey was conducted by self-reporting questionnaires.Most patients were above 40 years old,had a lower income level and education status and their treatment costs were mainly covered by social health insurance.Their incidences of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were high.Though most of them could recognize and treat their illnesses,the control rate remained non-satisfactory.Targeting incoming patients,community health service stations should take its advantages of managing chronic diseases and enroll more patients from local communities.
