Objective:To study the wound healing effects of the extracts of Shengji Huayu Fang with different solvents and demon-strate their important role in wound healing for deep second degree burn wound. Methods:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly di-vidied into six groups(ten rats in each group): the control group (saline), the positive control group (asiaticoside group), Shengji Huayu Fang group respectively with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol as the extraction solvent. The extracts of Shengji Huayu Fang with different solvents were applied in the rats with deep second degree burn wound, and the wound healing was e-valuated by the healing rate judged by naked eyes and computer image analysis, DNA cell cycle analysis using a flow cytometry, patho-logical reports and the degree of re-epithelialization studied by the other methods. Results:The mean healing time of the chloroform ex-tracts group [(15. 67 ± 1. 12)d] was much shorter than that of the control group [(22. 87 ± 1. 01)d, P<0. 01]. The hydroxyproline content and the percentage of S-phase cells in wound tissue in the chloroform extracts group was obviously higher than those in the con-trol group (P<0. 01). Conclusion:The present study indicates that topical application of chloroform extracts of Shengji Huayu Fang is beneficial to burn wound healing, and the chloroform extracts of Shengji Huayu Fang is the main bioactive fraction.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of azithromycin combined with Reduning injection in the treatment of children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. METHODS:80 children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were randomly divided into control group and research group. All the children were given routine treatment,including oxygen inha-lation,defervescence,nutritional support,reducing sputum and relieving asthma,etc. Based on it,children in control group were orally treated by Azithromycin enteric coated tablets 10 mg/kg,once a day. Children in research group were treated by Reduning in-jection 10 ml and 5% glucose injection 100 ml by intravenous infusion,once a day,based on the treatment in control group. The course of both was 14 d. The clinical data was observed,including the clinical efficacy,interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-8 (IL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and the incidence of adverse reactions(ADR)before and after treatment. RESULTS:The total effective rate in research group was significantly higher than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). After treat-ment,the IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and research group was lower than control group,with significant difference(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of ADR in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the routine treatment,azithromycin combined with Reduning injection has more obvious efficacy than only azithromycin in the treatment of children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection with similar safety.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer(LD-SCLC).Methods 34 cases of patients with LD-SCLC were rand- mized into interdigitating chemoradiotherapy group and sequential chemoradiotherapy group.All patients re- ceived four to six cycles of alternating CE(C:carboplatin 300 mg/m~2 d_1;E:etoposide100 mg d_(1～5)and CAP(C: cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m~2 d_(1,8);A:adriamycin 40 mg/m~2 d_1;P:cisplatin 50 mg d_(3～5)chemotherapy,three weeks for a cycle.All patients also received thoracic radiotherapy with conventional fraction,2.0 Gy per frac- tion,five fractions per week.The total dose was 60 Gy.Results In interdigitating chemoradiotherapy group, CR was 64.7%,PR was 29.4%,NR was 5.9% and PD was 0 after chemo-radiation therapy.In sequential chemoradiotherapy group,CR was 23.5%,PR was 52.9%,NR was 23.5% and PD was 0 after chemothera- py,and CR was 58.8%,PR was 35.3%,NR was 5.9% and PD was 0 after radiotherapy.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for LD-SCLC was satisying.There was no sig- nificant difference in the effect between the two groups.

Refractory wounds are the common complication of diabetes,and the therapeutic scheme and methods are paid more and more attention nowadays. The influence of traditional Chinese medicines on diabetic wound healing, such as promoting fibroblasts proliferation, enhancing granulation tissue formation, increasing the secretion of growth factors and reducing the wound scar, was re-viewed in the paper to provide scientific basis and reference for traditional Chinese medicines used in diabetic refractory wounds.

Objective To evaluate the expression of Toll-like receptor(TLR)on the monocyte- derived dendritic cells(DC)from chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients and to analyze the expression pro- file and significance of the TLR such as TLR3,TLR4,TLR?,TLR8 and TLRg,which are associat- ed with immune response to viral infection.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) centrifugated by the hydroxyethyl starch(HES)centrifugation were cultured and induced into DC by granulocyte-maerophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)and interleukin-4(IL-4),and their mor- phology and phenotype were detected by the inverted microscope and flow cytometry respectively. Monocyte-derived DC were obtained from 10 chronically hepatitis B virus(HBV)-infected patients and 15 healthy volunteers.TLR3,TLR4,TLR7,TLRS,TLR9 expression on immature and mature DC were analyzed by FACS Calibur.DC was pulsed with HBcAg on day 3 and 5,then DC maturation and ability to process HBcAg and to stimulate autogeneic T cells were evaluated.Results Monocyte- derived DC developed different TLR expression patterns as they went through different maturation stages.TLR7,TLR8 expressions on immature DC and TLR3,TLR7 expressions on mature DC were lower in CHB than in control(for TLR7,TLR8 expression on immature DC:75.9%,1.0%vs 98.4%,15.4%,P

Background and purpose:Through detection of MG7-Ag expression in various types of gastric mucosa biopsy tissues as well as serum,we studied their correlation and its clinical application value in the role of prediction of gastric precancerosis and its clinical significance.Methods:Using 125 samples of gastric mucosa biopsy tissues and corresponding sera(12 samples of normal gastric mucosa,21 samples of superficial gastritis,24 samples of gastric mucosal erosion and ulcer,15 samples of atrophic gastritis,22 samples of dysplasia,31 samples of gastric cancer)MG7-Ag expression in tissues was detected by SP immunohistochemical two-step staining;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum content of antigen MG7.Results:No expression of MG7 was detected in 12 samples of normal gastric mucosa and the positive expression rate of MGT-Ag was 93.55% in 31 samples of gastric cancer.In the order of superficial gastritis,gastric mucosal erosion,ulcer,atrophic gastritis,dysplasia and gastric cancer,expression rate of MG7 was increased sequentially(P

0.05).However,the shorter the history of the disease,the better the efficacy of the treatment.The younger the patient was,the better the efficacy of the treatment.Conclusions Vulva dystrophy can be treated with focused ultrasound effectively and safely.This approach appears to be a new promising treatment method.

0.05).Conclusion GH improves FAH of children with GHD.Height at the initiation of puberty is the most significant determining factor for the long-term efficacy.Hence,it is important that the diagnosis should be made and treatment be initiated as early as possible to afford children with GHD the opportunity to make up much of their height deficit before puberty.Adequate dosage of GH should be used for the children taking initial treatment at puberty to attain satisfactory FAH.

BACKGROUNDThe self-consciousness and practicality of preferentially prescribed essential medicines (EMs) are not high enough in county hospitals. The purposes of this study were to use the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model to identify the predictors of essential medicines prescribing behavior (EMPB) among doctors and to examine the association between demographic variables, IMB, and EMPB.

METHODSA cross-sectional study was carried out to assess predictive relationships among demographic variables and IMB model variables using an anonymous questionnaire administered in nine county hospitals of Anhui province. A structural equation model was constructed for the IMB model to test the instruments using analysis of moment structures 17.0.

RESULTSA total of 732 participants completed the survey. The average age of the participants was 37.7 ± 8.9 years old (range: 22-67 years old). The correct rate of information was 90.64%. The average scores of the motivation and behavioral skills were 45.46 ± 7.34 (hundred mark system: 75.77) and 19.92 ± 3.44 (hundred mark system: 79.68), respectively. Approximately half (50.8%) of respondents reported that the proportion of EM prescription was below 60%. The final revised model indicated a good fit to the data (χ2 /df = 4.146, goodness of fit index = 0.948, comparative fit index = 0.938, root mean square error of approximation = 0.066). More work experience (β = 0.153, P < 0.001) and behavioral skills (β = 0.449, P < 0.001) predicted more EMPB. Higher income predicted less information (β = -0.197, P < 0.001) and motivation (β = -0.204, P < 0.001). Behavioral skills were positively predicted by information (β = 0.135, P < 0.001) and motivation (β = 0.742, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONThe present study predicted some factors of EMPB, and specified the relationships among the model variables. The utilization rate of EM was not high enough. Motivation and behavior skills were crucial factors affecting EMPB. The influence of demographic variables, such as income and work experience, on EMPB should be fully appreciated. Comprehensive intervention measures should be implemented from multiple perspectives.
