Yohimbine (0. 5~4mg ? kg-1, sc) and idazoxan (2~8 mg ? kg-1,sc) showed a dose related antagonistic action on the inhibitory effect of xylazine (4mg ? kg-1,sc) on the gastrointestinal propulsive motility in mice. Xylazine (2mg,4mg ? kg-1,sc),clonidine(120 ?g ? kg-1,sc) exhibited the inhibitory effect of gastrointestinal basic electrical rhythm on the stomach, duodenum, jejunum and ileum in rats.The inhibitory effects of these drugs were the strongest at 30 min after administration of Compounds. Yohimibine (4mg ? kg-1,sc) was found to antagonize the inhibitory effect of xylazine (4mg ? kg-1,sc) on the gastrointestinal basic electrical Rhythm.

Objective To investigate the incidence and its related factors of apathy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 100 consecutive cases of ischemic stroke patients and 50 health controls were recruited in the present study. Apathy was assessed using modified apathy evaluation scale (MAES). According to the MAES score, acute ischemic stroke patients were divided into apathy group (MAES was more than 14 points) and non-apathy group. The differences of general information, clinical data, national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), modified rankin scale (mRS) and the lesion location were compared between the two groups. Differences that showed statistical significance (P<0.05) went into the multi-factor analysis. The Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the influence factors of apathy. Results There were 34 cases of apathy in patient group (34.00%), which was significantly higher than those of control group (3 cases of apathy, 6.00%, P<0.001). The age, incidence of diabetes, NIHSS score, HAMD score, lesions in brain stem and multiple lesions were significantly higher in apathy group than that of non-apathy group, while educational level, MoCA score were significantly lower ( P<0.05). The Logistic regression analysis showed that the higher MoCA score was a protective factor for apathy, while higher NIHSS score, lesions in brain stem and multiple lesions were risk factors for the incidence apathy. Conclusion The cognitive impairment, severity of neurological deficits, brainstem lesions and multiple lesions may be the risk factors of apathy after the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate technique and effect of reconstruction with alcohol-inactivated autograft-prosthesis composite after en bloc resection of giant cell tumor of bone around the knee.Methods From January 2007 to October 2008,8 patients with Campanacci grade Ⅲ giant cell tumor of bone around the knee underwent en bloc resection of tumor and reconstruction with alcohol-inactivated autograft-prosthesis composite in our hospital.There were 5 males and 3 females,aged from 20 to 43 years (average,31years).The tumor located in distal femur in 5 cases and proximal tibia in 3 cases.There were 4 cases of primary tumor and 4 cases of recurrent tumor.Two patients combined with pathological fracture.The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was used to evaluate limb function,and the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) score was used for radiographic evaluation.Results All patients were followed up for 38 to 67 months (average,54 months).No recunrence,metastasis,prosthesis loosening were found.The mean healing time of autograft and host bone was 5.5 months.At final follow-up,the MSTS score ranged from 25 to 29 [average,26.3 (88％)]; the ISOLS score ranged from 28 to 35 [average,32.8 (88.5％)].Creeping substitution was possibly the main way of bone union.The healing time in femoral lesion was faster than that in tibial lesion.Conclusion For Campanacci grade Ⅲ giant cell tumor of bone around the knee,en bloc resection and reconstruction with alcohol-inactivated autograft-prosthesis composite is an effective method,which can provide satisfactory results.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of alcohol-deactivated autograft-prosthesis composite after resection of bone giant cell tumor in distal femur.Methods From January 2007 to October 2008,5 patients with bone giant cell tumor in distal femur were treated with alcohol-deactivated autograftprosthesis composite,including 3 males and 2 females with an average age of 29.6 years(range,22-40).Three patients were diagnosed with postoperative recurrence,and 2 with pathological fracture.All patients were of Campanacci Ⅲ.Three-dimensional finite element models with 40% bone defect in distal femur were established based on CT images of a healthy volunteer.Three times of body mass load corresponding to the normal walking gait cycle was applied.The influence on stress distribution of femur-cement and prosthesis stem was analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for average 37 months,there was no infection,recurrence,loosening and limb length inequality.The bony healing time was 6 to 11 months.The mean MSTS function score was 25.7(range,25-27).The mean ISOLS graft score was 31.4 (range,28-35).The finite element analysis showed that for the short-term model,the maximum stress was 145.82 MPa in the proximal femur,40.90 MPa in the medial side of 1/4 proximal cement,and 389.24 MPa in the proximal prosthesis stem.The maximum stress was not exceeding the fatigue strength in three sites.For the long-term model,with the bone healing,the maximum stress on three sites decreased to 139.05,36.95,and 253.65 MPa,respectively.Conclusion These results suggest that the alcohol-deactivated autograft-prosthesis composite after resection ot bone giant cell tumor in distal femur can reduce the tumor recurrence and improve the short-term limb function,It is stable in short term and can reduce stress shielding in long term.

With the development of natural products, the research activities on the solubilization methods of water-insoluble natural products have been carried out worldwide. Big molecular weight and poor solubility of most natural active ingredients lead to a very poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, which has extremely limited their development in pharmaceutical fields and clinical application. As a result, it is necessary to find out a suitable technique to improve the solubility and enhance the oral bioavailability of insoluble natural drugs. Based on the related references published in these years, this review introduced some new techniques to improve the solubility and bioavailability of natural drugs, including prodrugs, inclusion complex, solid dispersion, cocrystals, osmotic pump, liquisolid compacts, micronization, self-microemulsifying, nanosuspensions, lipsomes, polymeric micelles and so on, and summarized the theory, characteristics, application range, application examples, problems and development direction of each technique.

ObjectiveTo explore the long-term fluctuation of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and its effect on prognosis in patients surviving for more than 1 year after renal transplantation.MethodsFour hundred and forty-six patients underwent kidney transplantation from January,1993 to December,2008.According to preoperative FPG levels,patients were divided into diabetic,impaired fasting glucose (IFG),and normal fasting glucose (NFG)groups. The changing trend of FPG level was observed and analyzed. For 428 non-diabetic patients before transplantation,the prevalence and different outcomes of post-transplantation diabetes( PTDM ) according to FPG after transplantation were analyzed.The characteristics of the patients with persistent PTDM ( P-PTDM ) and transient PTDM (T-PTDM) were compared.The incidence of complications and patient survival between the PTDM group and non-PTDM groups were also compared.ResultsFPG level was increased early and then decreased in patients after renal transplantation.Of the 428 patients,87 developed into PTDM ( 20.3％ ) including 15 T-PTDM patients ( 17.2％ of total PTDM ),who eventually recovered to NFG or IFG.Compared with P-PTDM group,the incidence of acute rejection episodes was higher for T-PTDM ( P =0.043 ).The incidence of infections,hypertension,and dyslipidemia within the first year,was higher in PTDM group compared with non-PTDM group but patient survival was not different within a mean follow-up of ( 5.65 ± 3.68 ) years.ConclusionPTDM will not be permanent and may recover to NFG or IFG in the course of the disease.Acute rejections are associated with the onset of T-PTDM.The overall patient survival is not affected by PTDM,although complications,such as infections,hypertention,and hyperlipidemia are more frequently encountered in PTDM patients.

Objective To determine the safety and clinical value of secondary ERCP to a failed intubation procedure.Methods A total of 212 patients with difficult intubation during ERCP procedures were enrolled.Patients with failed conventional intubation accepted precut sphincterotomy.The operation stopped after one hour of effort.A secondary selective ERCP was performed at a appropriate time.The operation success rate and complication rate of first ERCP and secondary ERCP were compared.Results The success rate of first ERCP was 67.0％ (142/212),and the total success rate was 90.6％ (192/212).The total success rate is significantly higher than that of first ERCP operation(x2 =35.263,P ＜0.05).The complication rate of first ERCP,secondary ERCP and total complication rate was 8.96％ (19/212),4.29％ (3/70),10.38％ (22/212),respectively.Complication rates of total ERCP and secondary ERCP were not significantly different from the first ERCP (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is safe and effective for patients with failed ERCP intubations after precut to receive a secondary ERCP at a appropriate time.

The JC virus is a widely infected human polyomavirus. Recent foreign researches showed that the JC virus infection is correlated with tumors of nervous system and digestive system, while, and study on the relationship between JC virus infection and gynecological tumor is seldom reported. In this study, we first establish the nucleic acid detection methods and procedures for JC virus and its highly homologous BK virus. The JC and BK viruses infection was evaluated by detect the viral DNA in samples including biopsy tissues, serum as well as urine of myoma of uterus (98 cases), cervical cancer (84 cases), endometrial cancer (40 cases) and ovarian tumor (72 cases) patients. The BK viral DNA positive rate was significantly higher in urine samples than that of blood and biopsy samples, and there is no significant difference of the BK viral DNA positive rate among all patient groups. The JC viral DNA positive rate is almost 0 in serum samples and biopsy. tissues, however, viral DNA positive rate is more than 50% in urine samples. In fibroids group, the JC viral DNA positive rate is up to 65. 3% which is significantly higher than that in other patients groups and healthy control. Further gynecological tumor associated viruses detection showed that only human papilloma virus infection is associated with cervical cancer, the herpes simplex virus, EB virus and cytomegalovirus infection is extremely low in our patient groups. No synergistic effect on gynecological tumor caused by viruses co-infection was observed. Our study showed that JC virus infection is highly related to the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids.
