Objective To investigate the effect of different head flexion/extension angles on static sitting balance in normal youth. Methods34 selected healthy college students were measured with the track length of the centre of gravity under eyes closed, head in a neutral position,flexed in 15°, 30°, 45°, and extended in 15°, 30° (30 s each position). Results the average length from small to big were: head flexedin 30°, neutral position, flexed in 15°, flexed in 45°, extended in 15°, extended in 30°. There was no significant difference among the averagelength when head flexed in 30°, in neutral position and flexed in 15° (P>0.05). Conclusion The static sitting balance is the most whenhead put in neutral position to flexed in 30°, and worst in extended in 30° in healthy youth.

Objective To observe the expression and correlation of Twist,p53 and E-cadherin mRNA in breast cancer.Methods Thirty breast cancer tissue and adjacent noncancerous tissue in patients underwent modified radical surgery,and the normal breast tissue in 10 patients with benign breast lesions,respectively,were detected the expression of Twist,p53 and E-cadherin mRNA by RT-PCR and the relationship with clinicl pathological factors and their interrelationships.Results There was significant correlation between the expression of Twist mRNA and the degree of differentiation[high and middle differentiation 93.33％(14/15),1ow differentiation 53.33％(8/15)],lymphatic invasion[yes 93.75％(15/16),no 50.00％(7/14)]and TNM staging[Ⅰ-Ⅱ?stage 46.15％(6/13),III-Ⅳ?stage 94.12％(16/17)]in breast cancer tissue(P＜0.05),while there was no obvious correlation between the expression of Twist mRNA and the age,tumor diameter,adventitial infiltration,estrogen receptor,progesterone receptor(P＞0.05).The expression of Twist and p53 mRNA in breast cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in adjacent noncancerous tissue and normal breast tissue[(112.36±12.53)％ vs.(101.37±9.12)％ and(98.03±9.04)％,(101.73±13.32)％ vs.(91.43±7.43)％ and(90.83±6.58)％,P＜0.01],while the expression of E-cadherin mRNA in breast cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent noncancerous tissue and normal breast tissue[(55.43±12.49)％ vs.(69.39±5.63)％ and(72.73±7.93)％,P＜0.01],there was no significant difference between adjacent noncancerous tissue and normal breast tissue(P＞0.05).The expression of Twist mRNA in breast cancer tissue was positively correlated to the expression of p53 mRNA(r=0.526,P=0.004),and negatively correlated to the expression of E-cadherin mRNA(r=-0.500,P=0.000).Conclusions Twist and p53 in breast cancer tissue show higher expression,while E-cadherin shows lower expression.Twist can promote invasion,metastasis of breast cancer by up expression of p53 and down expression of E-cadherin,and it plays an important role.

OBJECTIVE:To standardize and improve the package inserts of Traditional Chinese medicine injections,and to guide clinical rational drug use and reduce incidences of adverse drug reactions(ADRs).METHODS:The package inserts of 34 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine injections commonly used in the clinic were subjected to an analysis.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Part of the package inserts were not standard in writing contents in that they are unscientific and incompact,which thus remain to be improved.

3 d) were noted.CONCLUSION:The Clindamycin should be used in line with the perioperative preventive medication principle by strictly following its indications to ensure the safety and rationality of its clinical use.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus (FK506) instead of cyclosporine (CsA) in renal transplant recipients with hepatic impairment. METHODS: Eighteen patients with hepatic impairment, including 10 male and 8 females, aged 19-68 years (mean aged 40 years), 2 out of them suffered diabetes mellitus, 1 of them had hepatitis B prior to operation. After operation, all patients were treated with CsA 6 mg/(kg?d), the mass concentration was changed from 250-400 ?g/L at 1 month after operation to 250 ?g/L after half year. Totally 30 mg/d prednisone was used at first and changed to 20 mg/d at 1 month after operation. Mycophenolate was applied with 1.5 g/d, or azothioprine 50-100 mg/d. FK506 was used instead of CsA when alanine aminotransferase was over 1 500 nkat/L, with over 25.1 ?mol/L bilirubin direct. The initial dose of FK506 was 0.1 mg/(kg?d) at the second day after drug withdrawal and adjusted to base on its blood trough levels and the degree of hepatic impairment. The dosage of mycophenolate or prednisone was invariably. RESULTS: Hepatic function and bilirubin metabolism of all patients were returned to normal leverl without reject reaction in 15-60 days. One patient, who had severe hepatic impairment, was recovered in 46 days. Five patients had high blood sugar levels, and one had high blood cholesterol. After hypoglycemic and cholesterol lowering therapy, the blood glucose was controlled below 7.5 mmol/L from at the beginning of (16.7?2.8) mmol/L, and the blood fat was kept in a normal level. CONCLUSION: FK506 substituting for CsA can recover hepatic function with high safety in recipients with hepatic impairment.

Purpose:To investigate the features of midkine( MK) protein expression and the correlation between MK expression with angiogenes is and prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods:Immunohistochemistry analysis for MK and microvessel de nsity(MVD) were performed on 44 samples of tumor tissue. Results:No positivity expression was detected in either the lun g tissue close to tumor or normal lung tissue,but 26 of 44 NSCLC tissue showed a positive reaction to MK immunostain. Significant correlation between MK express ion with MVD enhancement and lymph metastasis in NSCLC was found,and the surviva l terms in NSCLC with MK expression were significantly shorter than those in NSC LC without MK expression.The enhanced MVD was related to lymph metastasis signif icantly,and the survival terms in NSCLC with enhanced MVD were significantly sho rter than those in NSCLC without enhancement. Conclusions:In human non-small-cell lung cancer, MK overexpre ssion at the protein level may very well be closely related to angiogenesis and metastasis. MK protein may be one of the predictors for prognosis in NSCLC.
