The content of SO2 in Paeoniae Radix Alba (RPA) was determined by the method documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (CP) 2010 edition to validate the repeatability of the method for evaluating RPA, and the contents of paeoniflorin sulfonate in both the residual material and distilled solution of RPA were determined by HPLC to study the transformation of paeoniflorin sulfonate to SO2 by HCl. It was found that the repeatability of the method in CP for evaluating RPA is unacceptable, and paeoniflorin sulfonate was detectable in both the residual material and distilled solution of RPA even at "the end point" of SO2 determination, merely about 50% of paeoniflorin sulfonate was transformed to SO2 by HCl, indicating that the current SO2 determination method in CP is not able to accurately quantify SO2 in RPA. It is recommended that more special method for determining SO2 content in RPA should be developed regarding the chemical characteristics of sulfur-fumigated RPA.

Objective To investigate the intervention ways of endoscopes in the treatment of esophagus stenosis due to carcinoma of esophagus and improvement of quality. Method 11 cases of advanced carcinoma of esophagus were included in this study. Operation and chemical therapy were unavailable for these patients. Memory trestle with membrane and made of alloy of Nickel－ titanium was inserted under intervention of endoscope. Trestle was posed in stenosis part of esophagus under direction of X－ ray. Trestle could be dilated 3－ 7 days after operation due to its reaction characteristics to temperature. So, redilated therapy was unnecessary. Trestle could reconstruct swallowing tract and made feeding through mouth become available during limited survival time.Results All trestles were successfully inserted.Half－ fluid feeding was available after operation. Obstruction was removed in all patients(100％ ).Conclusion Method described in this study was safe and effective .Effective swallowing tracts were reconstructed in all patients after trestle was planted and quality of life and survival time were both improved.

Objective To investigate the forensic characteristics of death cases of EV71 through retrospective analysis of 9 death forensic cases of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) . Methods Nine cases of EV71 death cases were collected,and the population characteristics, histopathological change,toxicology,pathology and causes of death of these cases were discussed. Results All 9 patients had fever, cough, emesis, and were treated as influenza or hand-foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in local hospitals, the condition was still deteriorating and finally died. The 9 autopsy cases were diagnosed as brain stem encephalitis and death in forensic diagnose. Conclusion The HFMD disease caused by EV71 infection progresses rapidly often leads to medical disputes, the patient's family and hospital's opinions on the causes of death in patients are often different,identifying the cause of death is conducive to resolve the disputes.

AlM:To study the refractive status characteristics aftser cataract surgery and the correlation between preoperative anterior chamber depth ( ACD) and refractive status.METHODS: Ninety-six cases of patients with cataract were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in phacoemulsification group were treated with phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens ( lOL ) implantation while the patients in small incision group were treated by small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with lOL implantation. Changes in ACD and postoperative refractive status and refractive fully corrected value were counted and the correlation of them were analyzed .RESULTS: ACD of the phacoemulsification group s deepened 0. 74mm while that of the small incision group deepened 0. 78mm after treatment and there was no significant difference (P>0. 05). After operation, the ACD of two groups significantly deepened ( P<0. 05 ). The postoperative visual acuity of two groups were significantly better than the uncorrected visual acuity of two groups (P<0. 05). The postoperative refraction of two groups patients were mainly 0 ~ +1. 0D ( 41. 67% and 54. 16%) and+1. 25~+2. 0D (43. 75% and 33. 33%) (P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: ACD is significant deepened after operation. Surgeon needs full consideration of changes to improve the refractive lOL calculation accuracy.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical effect of T-shaped locking internal fixation and external fixation in treating dorsal Barton's fracture,and investigate selective strategy of internal fixation.

METHODSFrom January 2008 to January 2013, 100 patients with dorsal Barton's fracture were randomly divided into two groups. In treatment group, there were 30 males and 20 females with an average age of (33.8±3.6) years old;30 cases were type B, 20 cases were type C;and treated with T-shaped locking internal fixation. In control group, there were 32 male and 18 females with an average age of (32.9±3.4) years old; 29 cases were type B, 21 cases were type C; and treated with external fixation. Volar tilt, ulnar deviation and radial height at 3 months after operation were detected and compared between two groups. Mechara functional evaluation were used to evaluate postoperative clinical effects. Clinical cure time, postoperative complications,joint mobility and function score were recorded and compared between two groups.

RESULTSIn treatment group,volar tilt was (11.9±2.7)°, ulnar deviation was (20.8+ 2.9)°,and radial height was (10.9±1.8) mm; while volar tilt was (9.1±1.6)°, ulnar deviation was (17.1±2.9)°, and radial height was (8.1±1.5) mm in control group. Treatment group was better than control group in volar tilt, ulnar deviation and radial height. Clinical cure time in treatment group was(12.0±2.3) weeks, shorter than control group (18.0±4.1) weeks. The incidence of complications in treatment group was lower than control group. According to Mehara functional evaluation,20 cases got excellent results, 25 good, 3 moderate and 2 poor in treatment group; 16 cases got excellent results, 14 good, 10 moderate and 10 poor in control group. Treatment group was better than control group in clinical effects.

CONCLUSIONT-shaped locking internal fixation with postoperative functional exercise for the treatment of dorsal Barton's fracture fits for biomechanics demands,and has advantages of stable fixation,rapid recovery, less complications and good functional recovery, it has better clinical effects.

Post traumatic epilepsy(PTE)refers to the epileptic seizures after traumatic brain injury. Or-ganic damage can be found by imaging examination, and abnormal electroencephalogram can be detected via electroencephalogram examination which has the similar location of the brain injury. PTE has the characteristics of low incidence, absence of case reports, and easy to exaggerate the state of illness, which add difficulties to the forensic identification. This paper reviews the status of epidemiology, patho-genesis, clinical treatment and forensic identification for PTE.

Objective To investigate the variations of the expression and activity of phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase(PI-3K)in the adipose tissue of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and to explore its relationship with insulin resistance(IR)in these women.Methods The expression of PI-3K p85aprotein and mRNA in adipose tissue were detected by Western blot and Semi quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)in 20 GDM women(GDM group)and 20 normal pregnant women(normal group).The activity of PI-3K was determined by ELISA and IR index was calculated using homeostasis model assessment(HOMA)according to the results of fasting insulin(FINS)and fasting plasma glucose(FPG),which measured by oxidase assay and immunoradioassay,respectively.Results The expressions of PI-3K p85αmRNA and PI-3K p85a protein were markedly increased in the adipose tissue of GDM group than in the normal group(mRNA:0.83±0.03 vs 0.53±0.07,P＜0.01;protein:0.93±0.04 vs 0.71±0.06,P＜0.01).However,the PI-3K activity in the GDM groups was significantly down-regulated compared with the normal group(1.7±0.6 vs 5.2±0.5,P＜0.01).The levels of FPG and FINS (HOMA-IR)in the GDM group were all significantly higher than the normal group[FPG:(5.8±0.2)mmol/L vs(4.7±0.3)mmol/L;FINS:(14.8±0.2)mmol/L vs(11.2±0.3)mmol/L;HOMA-IR:1.3±0.4 vs 0.9±0.3,a11 P＜0.01]. Conclusions The decreased activity of PI-3K in the adipose tissue may be one of the molecular mechanisms for IR in GDM.

Objective To investigate the expression and tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and in the adipose tissue of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to explore molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance in GDM. Methods The serum and adipose tissue were sampled from patients with GDM (GDM group, n = 20) and normal pregnant women (control group, n = 20). Fasting plasma glucose was measured by glucose oxidase assay. The expressions of IRS-1 protein and mRNA were determined by Western blot and semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was measured by immunoprecipitation. Results Compared with control group, in GDM group, the expression of IRS-1 mRNA was markedly decreased (0.61 ±0.06 vs 1.12 ± 0.17, P < 0.01), the expression of IRS-1 protein was significantly decreased (0.57 ±0.08 vs O. 83 ±0.07, P <0.01) and tyrosine phosphorylation was significantly reduced (0.23 ± O. 06 vs O. 62 ±0.04, P < 0.01) in the adipose tissue. Conclusion The decline of protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 in the adipose tissue of gestational diabetes appears to be one of the moleculemechanisms of insulin resistance in patients with GDM.
