[Objective]To use urodynamic method to evaluate "free sacro-capsule"pre-operation and post-operation effect,also evaluate bladder and urethral function.[Method]Twenty children were included in this study.[Result]All children had none damage after operation.The PVR and DLPP of post-operative group are significantly decreased.The BC and MCC of post-operation group was significantly higher than pre-operation group(P

Objective To explore the clinical and imaging features of primary lateral sclerosis(PLS).Methods The clinical and imaging data of 3 patients with PLS were analysed.Results 3 patients included 2 females and 1 male.The onset of the disease was insidious.The initial symptoms included rigidity and weakness of right upper limb(case 1),rigidity and weakness of legs(case 2),and pseudobulbar palsy(case 3). As the disease progressed slowly,the patients presented with spastic paralysis of four extremities,reduced muscle strength(3 to 4 degree),clasp-knife like of muscular tension,hyperactivity of tendon reflexes,ankle clonus and presence of Babinski sign.In T2-weighted images of the brain MRI,the abnormal high signals were symmetrically situated in the motor cortex,the posterior limbs of internal capsules,cerebral peduncles and basilar part of pons.1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1HMRS) showed decreases of N-acetylasartate(NAA) and the ratio of N-acetylaspartate/Creatine(NAA/Cr) in the focal regions.Conclusion PLS presents with characteristic features of clinical symptoms,signs and abnormal changes of MRI.In addition,1HMRS may be helpful in diagnosis of this disease.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus moving cupping with white mustard oil to treat lumbar myofascitis. Methods: A total of 90 patients with lumbar myofascitis who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 45 cases in each group. The observation group received acupuncture and moving cupping with white mustard oil; the control group received acupuncture plus warm needling treatment. The treatment was given twice a week for a total of 4 weeks. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Chinese version of Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) score of pain before the treatment, and respectively after 1-week and 4-week treatment were recorded for efficacy evaluation. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the difference in total effective rate between the two groups was not significantly (P>0.05). After 1 week of treatment, there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups (P>0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the Chinese version of RMDQ scores of both groups were significantly decreased, there were statistical differences in comparing with those before treatment (both P<0.05). After treatment for 1 week and 4 weeks, the Chinese version of RMDQ score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus moving cupping and acupuncture plus warm needling both can relieve the pain of patients with lumbar myofascitis, improve the function of back muscles, while the curative effect of acupuncture plus moving cupping is better.

Biphasic dissolution test, consisting of immiscible aqueous and organic phase, is an in vitro dissolution method that simultaneously measures the dissolution and partition of drugs. Due to the advantages of simulating in vivo absorption and overcoming the influence of surfactants on dissolution, it has been widely used to evaluate the poorly soluble drugs in vitro dissolution. Based on the relevant research in this field in recent years, this review summarizes the history, dissolution device, theoretical model and application of the biphasic dissolution test. Finally, the prospects in the development of biphasic dissolution test are also outlined.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) test data of severe sensorineural hearing loss children with cochlear lesion and those with retrocochlear lesion and find some specific phenomena of retrocochlear lesion in ASSR, then to improve diagnostic accuracy in clinical practice. METHOD: Between 2008 to 2012. 96 children (179 ears) were diagnosed with "retrocochlear auditory nerve lesion" and recieved ASSR test (" retrocochlear lesion" group). Eighty-one (143 ears) the same age children (143 ears) were diagnosed as "cochlear auditory nerve lesion" and selected them as the "cochlear lesion" group. Twenty-six (50 ears) normal hearing children at the same age who had ASSR test records selected from the pediatric hearing center database of our hospital were selected as "normal control" group. Compare the difference of ASSR threshold, ASSR elicit rate and ASSR audiogram among the three groups. RESULT: (1) ASSR threshold: Compared each frequency threshold in ASSR test with cochlear.lesion group, the retrocochlear lesion group with wave V and wave I had no significant difference in 500 Hz and 1000 Hz but had significant difference in 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz. As for the retrocochlear lesion group without wave V and wave I, there was a decline in 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz compared with cochlear lesion group. (1) ASSR elicit rate: When compared to retrocochlear lesion group, the cochlear lesion group had a significance lower elicit rate in the four frequency. (3) Number of elicit reactions in ASSR test . In the retrocochlear lesion group, the elicit reactions in all the four frequency in ASSR test was significantly higher than ochlear lesion group. (4) ASSR audiogram type. The proportion of rising curve audiogram in retrocochlear lesion group was 26.83% (with wave I and wave V), 40% (with wave I and without wave V ) and 33.80% (without wave I and wave V). CONCLUTION (1) Children with a severe hearing loss in ABR test and a rise type audiogram in ASSR test should be most possibly considered as retrocochlear lesion. (2) ASSR threshold cannot be used in determinate the severity of hearing loss in children with retrocochlear lesion.

Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, Chinese version of foreign research instruments may not be totally applicable for use in evaluating the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Great efforts have been made by Chinese researchers to develop scales for evaluation of the therapeutic effects of TCM. This study aims to understand the current situation of research in the development of evaluation instrument in TCM.

Objective To study and evaluate islet cell adenoma of preliminary diagnosis.Method Retrospective analysis Wag done on 22 patients clinical data of preliminarily diagnosed islet cell adenoma.They were divided into two groups according to final diagnosis,group of islet cell adenoma(n=16)and group of reacfional hypoglycemia n=6).Results There were significant differences between the two groups in term of fames,cold sweat,cataphora,Whipple triad,hungry test,the ratio offasting blood insulin and fasting blood glucose exceeding 0.3 (I/G＞0.3) (P＜0.05).No statistical differences were found on blood glucose level in hypoglycemia onset,psychiatric symptom.Conclusion The clinic data is helpful for preliminary diagnosis,and Whipple triad,hungry test,I/G＞0.3 above all.
