Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and effects of thrombolytic and anti coagulation treatment in over 70 year old patients with pulmonary thromb embolism(PTE). Methods The clinical findings, diagnostic techniques, effects of thrombolytic therapy and anti coagulation in 58 over 70 year old patients with PTE were analyzed retrospectively. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs (74 1%) was the most common thrombolism prone factors in our study. Limitation of movement and long term stay in bed due to a variety of causes were in the next place. The clinical findings were atypical, associated with a false diagnostic ratio of 46 5% in elderly patients with PTE. Undefined causal and different degree of dyspnea along with sudden and persistent hypoxemia were the main characteristics. Spiral CT and radioactive nuclear ventilation perfusion scan were important methods for diagnosis of PTE with positive finding of 95 7% and 62 5%, respectively. The effective and cure rate of thrombolytic therapy combined with anti coagulation, anti coagulation and anti platelet therapy was 91 3%, 75 8%, 0 and 47 8%, 17 2%, 0, respectively. Conclusions The most common risk factors of PTE in the elderly was DVT and the long term stay in bed or stay without active moving. The clinical symptoms were not only atypical but also variable. Thrombolytic with anti coagulation therapy is safe and effective, but anti platelet coagulation alone is not benefit.

[Objective]To study the clinical experience of Professor LIU Zhe treatment of essential tremor with acupuncture.[Methods]The paper states Professor LIU's understanding of treating essential tremor from the pathogenesis, acupuncture points and acupuncture manipulations, then summarizes the principle, regularity, and the features of acupuncture manipulations for Professor LIU treating essential tremor of different types of syndrome, so as to elaborate the clinical experience of Professor LIU. [Result] Professor LIU Zhe considers the age-dependent deficiency of qi and blood and insufficient liver and kidney syndrome to be a common one of essential tremor, as an experienced doctor, he distinguishes different types of syndrome from sign, tongue, pulse and so on. He places great emphasis on nourishing the bone marrow and tonifying liver and kidney. According to the symptoms select acupuncture points with the effects of nourishing the bone marrow and calming the liver to stop the wind, tonifying liver and kidney and supplementing qi and nourishing blood. Professor Liu sets a high value on selecting points of head and makes use of the point of Fengchi with unique acupuncture manipulations to relax cerebrovascular. In clinically, the curative effects are remarkable. [Conclusion]The unique method for treating essential tremor of Professor LIU gives some inspirations for clinic. It is worth of a deep study and spreading.

Objective To study the influence of oral antigens on the expression of costimulatory molecules CD80/CD86 on the surface of M and to investigate the genesis of pregnancy immunological tolerance induced by oral antigens through CD80/CD86. Methods Mice of spontaneous abortion(CBA/J?DBA/2) were divided into two groups: immune group and non-immune group.Trophoblast membrane antigen-2(TMA2)or ovum albumin(OVA) was administered orally to the mice in the immune group.Mice of normal pregnancy(CBA/J?BALB/c) were served as controls.The number of CD80/CD86 M of spleen and mesenteric lymph node(MLN) were determined by double-label FCM method. Results In the MLN,CD80 M of non-immune group was increased significantly as compared with that of the control group(P

Molecular technologies are sensitive, fast, and cheap in the study on microbial ecology. However, these methods do not provide information about morphology, number, and spatial distribution of the microorganisms. In contrast, Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) combines the precision of molecular biology with the visual information from microscope, and permits visualization and identification of individual miciobial cells within their natural habitat. FISH not only allows the detection of slow growing microorganisms, but also of yet-to-be cultured. It is useful for many applications in diagnosis and assessment of the population structure of complex microbial communities, and is a powerful tool for molecular ecology studies in microbiology, In this paper, major techniques and progresses of FTSH were described. Its application in microbial ecology, as well as problems , pitfalls, and perspectives of FISH are discussed.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic efficiency of 18F- FDG coincidence SPECT/CT and 99Tcm- MDP whole body bone scan (WBBS) in detecting malignancy.MethodsA total of 71 cases (male 45,female 26,mean age 59.2 ± 15.4 years) with clinically confirmed malignancy underwent both 99TcmMDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging within three weeks.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive and negative prediction value of these two imaging methods in detecting bone metastases were compared based on the results from pathology or clinical follow-up.x2test was used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 350 lesions (including primary,second malignancy and benign disease) in 71 patients were eval-uated.81.7％ (286/350) malignant lesions were identified by either 99Tcm-MDP WBBS (209/350,59.7％ ) or 18F-FDG coincidence imaging ( 141/350,40.3％ ) (x2 =25.65,P ＜ 0.01 ).The imaging findings of osteoblastic,osteolytic,mixed types of bone metastases by99Tcm-MDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging were significantly different (x2 =20.78,2.89 and 9.94,all P ＜ 0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,false-positive,false-negative,positive and negative predictive values for detecting bone metastases by 18 F-FDG coincidence study and 99Tcm-MDP WBBS were as follows:11.72％ ( 15/128),91.67％(22/24),24.34％ (37/152),8.33％ (2/24),88.28％ (113/128),88.24％ (15/17),16.30％ (22/135) ; and 53.91％ (69/128),75.00％ ( 18/24),57.24％ (87/152),25.00％ (6/24),46.09％ (59/128),92.00％ (69/75),23.38％ ( 18/77 ).The sensitivity,accuracy,false-negative,positive-predicting value of the two methods had been significant different (x2 =32.70- 46.21,all P ＜ 0.01 ).When two methods were combined,the diagnostic efficiency could been improved.ConclusionThe 99Tcm-MDP WBBS and 18F-FDG coincidence imaging has a complementary role in detecting bone metastases.

Objective To compare efficacy and side effects of intravenous versus oral indomethacin treatment for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants.Methods Fourty-nine preterm infants were reviewed retrospectively who were diagnosed as having symptomatic PDA confirmed by echocardiography.According to the using type and approach that were divided into 2 groups (intravenous group,n=21;oral group,n=28) and their doses and intervals were same.The rates of ductal closure and side effects were compared in 2 groups.Results There were no significantly different between 2 groups in single ductal closure and complicating other diseases. Soon closure of intravenous group was higher significantly than oral group [61.9 %(13/21) vs 28.6 %(8/28),P

Objective To study the time distribution of non-agriculture employed population spent in a working day in China, and to provide basic information for intervention strategies.Methods The data of 2002 China Nutrition and Health Survey were used. The information on daily activities including occupation,transportation,exercise,housework,sedentary activity and sleep was described.Results Non-agriculture employed population spent 8.41 h,0.58 h,0.09 h,3.11 h,1.40 h and 7.89 h on occupation, transportation,exercise,sedentary activity,housework and sleep,respectively.Administrator,technologist and clerks spent less time on occupation activity than service workers,production and transportation workers and others did,and they spent more time on sedentary activity.Male spent more time on occupation activity and less time on housework and sleep than female did.People in rural area spent more time on occupation activity than those in urban area,but less time On transportation and sedentary activity.Conclusion Differences in time use among different employed groups,gender and area were found,which should be considered when intervention measure is developed.
