Objective To establish a molecular typing method (opa-typing) for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and to evaluate its performance based on epidemiological data. Methods Twenty-six gonorrhea patients were recruited from March to April 2006 at two sites, including 17 cases from the STD Clinic of Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College and 9 cases from the STD Clinic of Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology. Of the 26 patients, 6 were from three known sexual links, while the remaining 20 patients did not have any sexual contact with each other. The opa gene was amplified by using PCR from Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from these patients followed by overnight digestion with restriction enzymes Taq Ⅰ and Hpa Ⅱ. The enzyme digestion band patterns were analyzed using the Cel-Compar program. Results The opa gene was successfully amplified from all the 26 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, and restrictedly digested by endonucleases Taq Ⅰ and Hpa Ⅱ . Identical band patterns were observed between patients with sexual links, but not among the remaining 20 patients. Conclusions The results of opatyping of Neisseria gonorrhoeae coincide with the information on sexual behaviour provided by patients. Opatyping may serve as a reliable tool in sexual network analysis.

The present study on 24 cases disclosed that the erythrocyte deformability(ED) of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was significantly lower than normal control. After incubate the patients' erythrocyte with Prop-lene Glycol Mannituse Sulfate(PGMS) and Pro-plene Glycol Alginate Sudium Sulfate (PSS ) , The ED was significantly higher than that of in-cubated without drug. PGMS was more effi-cious. The result indicated that PGMS and PSS may have high value in improving the microcir-culation of patient with AMI, increasing the blood flow of capilliaries in ischemic myocardium and reducing the area of infarction.

Objective To study the management of enterostomy in children.Methods The clinical data of 425 cases of enterostomy in children were analyzed retrospectively.Results The primary diseases of 425 cases underwent enterostomy included:intestinal perforation(119 cases),intestinal necrosis(36 cases),necrotizing enterocolitis(45 cases),congenital megacolon(61 cases),congenital anal atresia with rectourethral fistula(86 cases),and congenital anal atresia with rectovaginal fistula(78 cases).Among the 425 cases,159 cases underwent small bowel enterostomy and 266 cases had colostomy;single-stoma enterostomy was done in 225 cases,and double-stoma enterostomy in 197 cases.Follow-up was acquired in 389 patients,and all the stomas were closed successfully.The closure time of small bovvel enterostomy was 1-3 month(ayerage 1.87 months)later,and of colostomy was 3-12 month(averag 4.95 months)later.Conclusions When an enterostomy is to be adopted in pediatric surgery,a suitable time and enterostomal location should be chosen according to the state of illness.The timing of enterostomy closure is also very important.

Objective To investigate the pathogentic factor of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)-associated lung injury and the protective function of octreotide combined with alinastatin on SAP-associated lung injury in rats.Methods Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups.Sham operative(S)group,SAP group,(octreotide)(O)group,ulinastatin(U)group and octreotide + ulinastatin (O+U)group,and each group was divided into 6h,12h sub-groups.After AP models were induced,the serum concentration of amylase(AMY),tumor necrosis factor?(TNF-?),malondiadehyde(MDA),and the concentration of(myeloperoxidase)(MPO) in lung tissue were determined;and the pancreas and lung pathology were graded,the changes of the above-mentioned indexes after using octreotide and ulinastatin were compared.Results(1)Compared to SAP group,AMY,TNF-?,MDA,MPO,and pancreas pathology score were decreased significantly in each of the 3 therapy groups during the same period;and at 12h,in O+U sub-group,lung pathology score also decreased compared to SAP group(P

0.05),but,serum AST and ALT were significantly decreased on the 12th hour in arterialization group(P

0.05); ② Significant correlation was found between natural head posture and angle SNA, SNB, SN/MP, N S PNS, NSU, NSGn, ANS PNS Gn, NSH( P

Objective To compare the effects of pressure bandage with ultrasound-guided compression repair (UGCR) for femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (FAPs) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods One hundred and five patients with FAPs were enrolled in the study. Patients were classified into 2 groups (UGCR vs pressure bandage) according to different treatment modalities,and clinical status and therapeutic effects were compared. Results There were no differences between the two groups in gender,age,body mass index,type of intervention,sheath size,anti-platelet agents,low molecular weight heparin,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure during the procedure. The successful repair rate was higher in the UGCR group than that of the pressure bandage group (85% vs 63%,P =0.03). No complications occurred in both groups. Conclusion UGCR is simple and safe with low cost and complications,which can be used preferably for FAPs repair.

Setting Li Dai Zhong Yao Pao Zhi Zi Liao Ji Yao as clue, this article searched each edition of China Pharmacopoeia, National Processing Standard of Traditional Chinese Medicine issued in 1988, and relevant materials of local processing standards and modern processing study, and concluded and combed the contents about Asari Radix et Rhizoma processing in ancient and modern literature. There are records about Asari Radix et Rhizoma processing methods in history, including net processing, cutting processing, heating processing and processing excipient. However, Asari Radix et Rhizoma processing methods in modern time are relatively simple. In addition to the version of the Processing Standard of Traditional Chinese Medicines in Shanghai issued in 2008, containing the honey Asari Radix et Rhizoma, other editions of China Pharmacopoeia and processing standards only recorded net processing and cutting processing. Recent research showed that processing methods of modern stir frying processing, alkali processing, wine processing, low temperature ultrafine comminution processing and so on, can effectively reduce the toxicity of Asari Radix et Rhizoma and enhance the safety of clinical application. This article summarized the history and research progress of Asari Radix et Rhizoma processing, and provided a reference for the study on modern processing.
