Objective To inverstigate the CT findings of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in orbit and paranasal sinuses,nasal cavity.Methods 12 patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in orb it and paranasal sinuses,nasal cavity diagnosed pathology retrospectivly were an alyzed based on their CT data. Results 12 cases of all were non-Hodgin’s lymphoma.Ther e were lymphoma of orbit in 8 cases, lymphoma of maxillary sinus in 3 cases, lym phoma of nasal in 1 case .There was eyelid tumor in 3 cases, soft tissue tumefac tion in adjacent eyelid in 2 cases,soft tissue tumefaction in adjacent maxillary region of nose back in 3 cases and local bone absorption in 2 cases.Conclusion Tumors in orbit and maxillary sinus nasal cavi ty were not concomitant with bone destruction. The sicken tumefaction or tumors formed in adjacent eyelid and maxillay region of nose back are important clue of lymphoma.

Gynecological malignancies have seriously affected women′s living quality and survival.In recent years,studies have shown that androgen is closely related to the occurrence and development of gynecologic malignancies.In this paper,we mainly discussed the mechanism of androgen on gynecologic malignancies.

Objective To study whether the mechanism of mifepristone in treating adenomyosis is suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(MMP-9/TIMP-1). Methods Thirty-five patients in the mifepristone treated group(19 cases of adenomyosis) and the control group(16 cases of adenomyosis,non-drug treated) underwent hysterectomy.Endometrium was looked as eutopic endometrium and adenomyosis as ectopic endometrium.Expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium were measured by immunohistochemical techniques. Results The ectopic endometrium of the mifepristone treated group expressed lower level of MMP-9,higher level of TIMP-1 and lower ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 than the ectopic endometrium of the control group(P

AIM: To study the absorption and distribution characteristics of oxybutynin (OXY) oral tablet and transdermal gel. METHODS: A single dose of 0.1 g OXY transdermal gel (2 mg OXY) was applied to abdominal area about 4 cm2 and 0.5 mg immediate-release tablet was orally given to 48 rats in a randomized, open-label, control design test. The plasma, bladder and liver tissue were collected, disposed and analyzed and OXY pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and evaluated. RESULTS: The Cmax of OXY transdermal gel and oral tablets in bladder are approximately 800 and 70 times higher than those in plasma. The plasma half life of OXY gel delayed 5.99 h, tablets 2.18 h. CONCLUSION: OXY gel show better pharmacokinetic properties, characterized with long half life and high target organ concentrations than those of tablets.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of combined detecting serum cystatin C (Cys-C),retinol binding protein (RBP),high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP)and urine microalbuminuria (UMA)for early re-nal damage detection in patients With essential hypertension (EH).Methods:Levels of Cys-C,RBP and UMA Were measured in 83 EH patients (EH group)and 80 healthy objects With similar age (healthy control group)respective-ly.Positive rates (exceeding upper limit of normal value for above index Was regarded as positive) of single and combined use of above indexes Were calculated.Results:Compared With healthy control group,there Were signifi-cant increase in levels of Cys-C [(0.98±0.30)μg/ml vs.(1.23±1.38)μg/ml],RBP [(38.32±10.10)mg/L vs. (41.67±11.68)mg/L],and UMA [(1.17±0.46)mg/L vs.(3.01±3.31)mg/L]in EH group (P<0.05 or <0.01),and their detection rates for early renal damage Were 21.69%,19.28%,14.46% and 19.28% respectively. Combined detecting rates of Cys-C + UMA and UMA+ RBP Were 36.14% and 34.94% respectively,Which Were significantly higher than those of single index (P<0.05 all).Conclusion:Proper multi-index combined detecting can effectively raise the detection rate of early renal damage in patients With hypertension.

The academic thoughts of Lingnan acupuncture and moxibustion have been an essential part of Lingnan medicine. By exploration and arrangement of Lingnan medicine and books, journals and literatures regarding acupuncture and moxibustion, the ancient and modern acupuncturists and their academic contributions in Lingnan area were reviewed. As a result, the number of Lingnan acupuncturists and their works was low before Qing Dynasty, while from the Republic of China era to People's Republic of China, a considerable amount of acupuncturists emerged with quite a lot of works. By exploration and arrangement of Lingnan acupuncturists and their works and academic opinion, the acupuncture-moxibustion school characterized by Lingnan could be formed and developed.
