Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy in the endocrine system .In recent years ,the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased year by year ,which sparked people′s attention.With the development of thyroid cancer research ,it is found that cytokines play a key role in the occurrence and development of tumor .At present ,the cause of thyroid carcinoma and mechanism is not yet entirely clear ,however ,the occurrence of thyroid cancer is possiblely associated with the body regulating cellular immune dysfunction .Cytokines play an important role in the whole process ,in which the relationship between cytokines IFN -γ,IL-6 and thyroid carcinoma is closely related .

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of compound amino acids capsul es on hypoalbuminemia in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.METHODS:30hemodialysis patients were selected to orally take2compound amino acids capsules(0.35g per capsule)twice daily for12weeks,renal and liver function and levels of serum albumin and pre-albumin were measured before and after the experiment.RESULTS:The levels of serum albumin and pre-albumin were increased significantly after the treatment,it were(30.5?4.6)g/L vs(35.9?7.1)g/L,and(213.0?46.9)mg/L vs(275.8?52.3)mg/L respectively(P

Objective To investigate the effect of hindlimb unloaded 3 weeks on bone mineral density of different parts in simulated weightlessness rats,and the effect of Chinese herbal prescriptions on them.Methods 2-month-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group(CON),hindlimb unloading group(HU),HU+Chinese herbal prescription group(HUC).During the whole experiment(4 weeks),HUC were given Chinese herbal prescriptions(contains Radix Acanthopanacis Senticosl,Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata,Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae,Concha Ostreae,etc),while CON and HU were given equal measures Concha Ostreae prepared by acetic acid.After 1 week of adaption period,weightlessness was simulated by tail suspension in HU and HUC for three weeks.Rats were executed at the end of the fourth week and bone mineral density of 7 differernt parts were determined.BMD of skull bone and second thoracic vertebra were examined by buoyancy method,and fourth lumbar vertebra,humerus,femur,radio-ulna and tibia were examined by bone densitometer.Results Compared with CON,BMD of skull of HU increased significantly(P 0.05),but BMD of lumbar vertebra,femur and tibia were decreased notably(P 0.05).Conclusions The change of hindlimb unloaded 3 weeks on systemic BMD presented certain trend.BMD of skull bone increased,little change on upper limbs and second thoracic vertebra,and fourth lumbar vertebra and hind limbs reduced.Chinese herbal prescriptions had the function to relieve weightlessness osteoporosis,and had positive effect on calcium distribution with weightlessness.

Objective To set up a calibration system for automated hematology analyzers with fresh blood in clinical laboratory.Methods Fresh blood assigned by a traceable measurement system was used to calibrate nine hematology analyzers, and compared the bias before and after calibration.Results In the parameters to be calibrated for the hematology analyzers, there was about 55.6% (25/45) over allowable bias before calibration but 15.6% (7/45) after calibration with fresh blood. Among the results of bias over allowable upper limit were mostly existed in 3-part differential hematology analyzers, and mainly focused on WBC and PLT.Conclusion It is available to calibrate different hematology analyzers with fresh blood in a clinical laboratory.

OBJECTIVE To study the constituent ratio of the pathogenic fungi of blood culture in recent 24 months and their resistance in our hospital.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/AlerT120 and the isolated pathogenic fungi were identified by API identified tests(API Inc,France).In(addition) antibiotics sensitivity test was by K-B.RESULTS Of the specimens in 4135 cases,there were 110 strains((2.7%)) with Candida albicans(29%).C.tropicalis(21%) and C.portugal(9%).The(specimens) come from(hepatobilliary)(25%),neurosurgery(24%) and emergency(10%) departments.CONCLUSIONS It is important and necessary to monitor the circumstance of fungal(infection) and resistance of the pathogenic fungi due to its(morbidity) increased.

Objective To study the feasibility of trans-supraorbital keyhole approach microsurgery for sellar tumors.Methods The operation was conducted under combined intravenous general anesthesia and the patient was maintained at a dorsal position.A skin incision was made along the lateral eyebrow at 3.5~4.0 cm in length.The frontal muscle periosteous flap was draged upwards and the orbicularis muscle periosteous flap was dragged downwards.Then the tempotal muscle was dragged laterally.The position of the keyhole was located behind the temporal line.By using a milling cutter,a bone window 2 cm ? 3 cm in size was made medially.The inner margin of the supraorbital skull was shaped to expand the visual field of microsurgery.The cerebral dura mate was opened curvily,with the base directing to the orbital margin.The frontal lobe was elevated gently and the cerebrospinal fluid was drained.The tumor was fully exposed and resected.Results Total resection of tumor was achieved in 22 cases,and part of posterior tumor membrane remained in 2 cases of craniopharyngioma.Hypoadrenocorticism occurred in 1 case of ACTH adenoma after operation and a hormone replacement therapy was required. Temporary postoperative diabetes insipidus occurred in 8 cases and was relieved after 1 week.The postoperative urinary volume decreased significantly in 9 cases of preoperative diabetes insipidus.Visual disorder on the operational side was aggravated after operation in 1 case of tuberculum sellae meningioma,and was gradually improved after 1 week.No recurrence was observed under MRI examination in 18 cases at 3 months after operation.Conclusions Trans-supraorbital keyhole approach microsurgery is feasible,and it gives minimal operational trauma,thorough resection of tumor,and good cosmetic outcomes.

Objective: To explore the burden of spouse caregivers of patients with dementia at home and factors having influence.Methods:Forty-two patients with dementia were collected from psychiatric out-clinic consecutively. Trained investigators did home visit to collect data on severity of the disease (CDR, MMSE), pathological behavior (BEHAVE-AD), activity of daily living (ADCS-ADL) and burdens of their spouse as caregiver (CBI). The caregivers' anxiety, depression (Zung's Anxiety Scale and Depression Scale) and knowledge about dementia were also collected.Results:The caregivers felt big burden (BDI total score: 30.7?15.1). Nearly half of them (42.9%) were in depression and one quarter (23.8%) were anxious. They were lack of knowledge about dementia and unskillful in care-giving. 26.2% caregivers thought dementia is curable or equal to normal aging, 57.1% of them did not believe it is an improving disease. The burden of caregivers was correlated positively with pathological behavior of patients (r=0.40, P
