[Objective]To compare the clinical results between allograft and autograft for treatment of scoliosis in the adolescent.[Method]A retrospective study was made in 63 cases of adolescent patients with scoliosis who were operated on with posterior instrumentation from 1996~2006.These patients were divided into two groups.In group A,32 patients aged 10 to 15 years with an average of 12.2 years,had a mean Cobbs angle of 62?(ranged,38? to 113?),were received allograft bone grafting.The patients were followed up for at least 18 months with an average of 26 months.Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed.[Results]Operating time and blood loss in group A were less than that in group B(P

Objective To investigate the association between a 27-bp variable number of tandem repeat(VNTR) polymorphism of the endothetial nitric-oxide synthase(eNOS)gene and transient ischemic attack(TIA) of brain.Methods Polymerase chain reaction was performed for the genotypes of all patients and control subjects.Data were compared between patients and control subjects using ?~(2)test. Results The genotype ab distribution and allele a frequencies of eNOS gene were significantly higher in TIA group(25.0%,14.3%) than in control group(16.3%,9.2%)(P

Since July 1992 to September 1993,57 breast lesions were identified by mam- mography in 56 patients. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed on 55 lesions by us- ing a stereotaxic localization technique (10/55 lesions were nonpalpable). Fine-needle aspira- tion cytology has a sensitivity of 92.5%, a specificity of 100%, and an accuracy of 96.3%, The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of mammogram with stereotaxic fine-needle aspiration cytology test were 100% respectively. 6 nonpalpable breast lesions were excised by using stereotaxic localization technique.

With the progress of human civilization,the harmonious development of society is gradually realized by different researchers.Medicine,as a science directly serving humans,emphasizes more on humanism than other sciences.Medical research is not only characterized by scientificity and innovativeness,but also by ethicality.More and more biomedical journals are paying attention to issues of ethics.This review discussed the ethical issues in academic medical writing based on the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the discussions by Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

OBJECTIVE:To standardize the quality control of infusion solutions in each production process to guarantee the quality of the final products.METHODS:The process method in ISO9001 quality management system was adopted to standardize each production process of infusion solutions.RESULTS:Both the clarity and the eligible rate of the infusion solutions prepared in our hospital remained at above 97% and 96%,respectively.CONCLUSION:Applying process method in ISO9001 quality management system to standardize each production process of infusion solutions has helped guarantee the quality of final products as well as the clinical medication security.

0.05);the cost-effectiveness ratio(C/E)were9.48and9.16respectively.The cost for every one unit increment of effectiveness for gatifloxacin group was11.43yuan more than that of the levofloxacin group.CONCLUSION:Taking everything into consideration,levofloxacin was better than gatifloxacin in the treatment of urinary system infection.

Objective To evaluate the clinical usefulness of 99m Tc MIBI imaging for the diagnosis of breast malignancy.Methods 195 patients with a total of 204 breast lesions were divided into three groups to undergo 99m Tc MIBI imaging and the results were compared with pathology.20 cases with normal breast served as control.Abnormal density showed by 99m Tc MIBI imaging in the breast(10% higher than surrounding structure) was regarded as positive.Results Of 100 breast cancer lesions,positive feature appeared in 92.Twelve out of 70 benign breast lesions showed positive imaging.Six out of 34 breast occult lesions were with positive imaging, among them 3 were finally found with carcinoma.No positive imaging was found in the control group.The diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value of 99m Tc MIBI was 92 0%,91 8%,92%,86%, and 92%,respectively.Conclusions[WT5”BZ] 99m Tc MIBI imaging has high sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of breast cancer and in the differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions.
