Methods 64 SD rats weight was(109.7?10.4) g, 32 male, 32 female were randomly divided into 4 groups. Every group was fed on the fodder contained zinc of different content for 40 days to build animal model. The Zn, Cu, Fe and MDA contents, SOD and GSH-Px activity in tissue of rats were determined. The One-way ANOVA test was used for multiple related samples and simple correlation analysis was used. Results Compared with 30 mg/kg group, the development of thighbones and the body weight of rats in groups with zinc exposure doses of 9 and 400 mg/kg bw were significantly retarded, the consumption rate of fodder was lower in male rats (P

Objective: The primary aim of this research is to systematically sort out and analyze available documents for yang deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, providing innovative ideas and methods for statistical study of yang deficiency syndrome. Methods: Based on the China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Chongqing VIP databases, using "yang deficiency", "deficiency cold", and "patient" as keywords, we searched literature of clinical researches and used "ratio-comparison" and "integration-comparison" to analyze objective data after data preprocessing. Relative importance value of physiological and biochemical parameters were reflected by P value calculated by ratio-comparison or Q value by integration-comparison. Results: With calculation of relative importance values of clinical indicators among various systems, we got the ranking of relative importance of different indexes. Triiodothyronine and urine 17-hydorxycorticosteroid of endocrine system, immunoglobulin A of immune system, and the ratio of cyclic adenosine monophosphate to cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which had great |P| (or |Q|) values and negative P (or Q) values, had a clearly lower level in yang deficiency patients than in the control; hemorheological indicators such as plasma viscosity, whole blood reduced viscosity and erythrocyte electrophoresis time had small |P| (or |Q|) values. These indicators, however, showed less importance for reflecting yang deficiency. Conclusion: Ratio-comparison method and integration-comparison method employed in this study have merits of efficiency and robustness. After detailed compiling and mining of all available data, we have made reasonable advice on the most relevant index of yang deficiency for further study of the essence of this syndrome.

The theory of four properties (Qi) and five tastes (Wei) is the core of the property theory of Chinese materia medica. It is known that Qi and Wei are associated with the pharmacological effects (Xiao) of herbs. This study took records of all 365 Chinese herbs in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica (Shennong Ben Cao Jing) as the data resource and established a three-dimensional data cube, in the purpose of finding out and analyzing the frequent patterns and valued association rules of Qi, Wei and Xiao based on Apriori algorithm. The results of this study may give rise to innovative ideas and methods in research of traditional Chinese materia medica.

Hydrocortisone-induced yang-deficiency animal model has now become the generally accepted model of yang deficiency. However, assessing the most appropriate dose of hydrocortisone is a long-term challenge. For analyzing the modeling dose, the authors have built several kinds of yang-deficiency models induced by hydrocortisone at different doses, and analyzed the experimental data with various mathematical statistical methods. In order to discuss the effects of the modeling dose on the basis of previous research, the authors introduced Ridit analysis.

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical features of noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM) in children. Methods The clinical data from ifve children with NVM were analyzed, including clinical manifestations, ultrasonic cardio-gram(UCG), electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, the process of diagnosis and treatment, and follow up.Results In ifve patients (3 boys and 2 girls) aged 3 months to 12 years, four of them were hospitalized because of pneumonia with heart failure. None of the ifve patients had thromboembolism. Heart enlargement was observed in all ifve patients on chest X-ray. By 2D ultrasonography, 2 patients had cardiac apex involvement, and 3 patients showed involvement of left ventricular wall and interventricular septum. In one patient, congenital partial defect of the endocardial cushion was observed. All patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months. One patient died of heart failure, 3 patients survived, and one patient was lost to follow-up.Conclusions The common clinical manifestation of NVM is the heart failure. UCG is preferred for NVM diagnosis. In children with refractory pneumonia and heart failure, NVM should be suspected.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of tubular aggregate myopathy.Methods Eight patients as experimental group were diagnosed with tubular aggregate myopathy in Department of Neurology,People' s Liberation Army General Hospital,between March 2000 and March 2013.The data were retrospectively analyzed.Enzyme histochemical techniques and electron microscopy were taken to observe the muscle structures.Results The detection rate of tubular aggregate was 0.374％ (8/2 137).All of the 8 patients with tubular aggregate myopathy were male.Five patients presented with episodes of muscle weakness,while 3 patients presented chronic progressive muscle weakness.The main clinical features of all patients were muscle weakness.The creatine kinase level was mildly elevated in 4 patients,while it was normal in the other 4 patients.Electromyogram showed myogenic damage in 5 patients and normal in 3 patients.All of the 8 patients denied family history.By light microscopy,hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that tubular aggregates were multiple basophilic subsarcolemmal substance.Tubular aggregate stained red with modified Gomori trichrome stain,reacted intensely for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotidetetrazolium reductase,and remained unstained on oil red O,periodic acid Schiff,sudan black B,acid phosphatas,adenosine triphosphatase.By electron microscopy,tubular aggregates were densely packed tubules predominantly in the subsarcolemmal region.Conclusion Enzyme histochemical staining and electron microscopy show special features of tubular aggregate myopathy,are the critical techniques for the diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To discuss the significance of acoustic rhinometry(AR) and rhinomanometry(RM) in the evaluation of surgical treatment of nasal septal deviation.Methods Fifty-one patients of nasal septal deviation were recruited,and seventy-two nasal cavities were tested(twenty-one patients with narrowing of double sides).Visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to estimate the degree of nasal obstruction.AR and RM were used to obtain the data of nasal airway resistance(NAR),nasal cavity 0-5cm volume(NCV0-5) and nasal minimal cross-sectional area(NMCA).The data were used to assess the airflow function of nasal cavity.Each patient was tested at the time both before surgery and 12 weeks after surgery.The pre-and post operative data were used to calculate paired t-test by SPSS 16.0,and to disclose the correlation among ?NCV,?NMCA,?NAR and ?VAS.Results The preoperative data showed that NCV0-5 was 4.07?0.91cm3,NMCA 0.33?0.08cm2,NAR 1.14?0.34kPa?s?L-1,and VAS 7.36?1.23;and the postoperative data showed that NCV0-5 was 7.29?0.68cm3,NMCA 0.56?0.08cm2,NAR 0.35?0.12kPa?s?L-1,and VAS 1.14?0.91.Significant differences existed in NCV0-5,NMCA,NAR and VAS(P

OBJECTIVE:To provide data and reference for pharmacist legislation. METHODS:Questionnaire survey was de-signed investigate and analyze the staffing situation,education level,professional composition,age composition,professional titles composition,continuing education and wage of pharmacists who worked in medical and health institutions from 16 states (cities) in Yunnan province,and suggestions were put forward for relevant legislation. RESULTS:Totally 10 questionnaires were received from provincial medical and health institutions,and 16 from state (city) Health and Family Planning Commission,with effective recovery of 100%;data covered 1 561 medical and health institutions,involving 7 409 pharmacists. The numbers of pharmacy per-sonnel/hospital beds in tertiary hospitals,secondary hospitals and class-1 hospitals were 1∶15.49,1∶17.50,1∶20.68,numbers of pharmacy personnel/health professional and technical personnel in hospital accounted for 5.62%,6.18%,5.30%,respectively;most pharmacists in tertiary hospitals were mainly undergraduate degree(35.21%),doctor degree accounted for 0.15%,the high-est ratio of education was junior college degree in secondary hospitals(41.60%)and class-1 hospitals(57.51%);most pharmacists graduated in pharmacy in tertiary hospitals(94.14%),70.22% in secondary hospitals and only 10.50% in class-1 hospitals;phar-macy personnel mainly held the pharmacist professional titles in tertiary,secondary and class-1 hospitals (33.83%,37.89% and 63.55%),senior professional titles accounted for 5.88%,2.71% and 0.21%,respectively;only a few have learning experience and almost less than 6 months (9.17%,5.84% and 21.32%),and 80 pharmacists were certificated as clinical pharmacists in the whole province;generally,all wage was concentrated in 2 000-2 999 per month (27.72%,41.80% and 55.90%,respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Shortage of hospital pharmacists and lack of senior personnel are the main problems in Yunnan province,and wage is not high,especially in primary hospital,this situation is more obvious. The current situation of pharmacists in the hospital should be more taken into consideration during the legislative process in aspects of clearing and guaranteeing access qualifications, responsibilities,status,rights and interests,and pharmaceutical technology and service charges should be established.
