The patients with primary enuresis complicating with hemirachischisis were treated by routine manipulations as well as the acupoints and manual methods to unblock and regulate Governor Vessel. Excellent effects have been obtained.

Objective To observe the long-term effects of maternal mild hyperglycemia on the growing development and glucose and lipid metabolism in intergenerational rat offspring.Methods Streptozotocin (25 mg/kg) was administered to 14 pregnant Wistar rats intraperitoneally on the first day of gestation to induce an animal model of mild intrauterine hyperglycemia,which was successful in nine rats.Seven pregnant rats without streptozotocin intervention served as controls.Female first-generation offspring (F1) rats were intercrossed with normal male rats to obtain the second-generation offspring (F2) rats.F1 and F2 rats were divided into 8 groups:female group (group F1-G-♀) or male group (group F1-G-♂) exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia;female group (group F1-C-♀) or male group (group F1-C-♂) exposed to intrauterine euglycemia;transgenerational female group (group F2-G-♀) or male group (group F2-G ♂)exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia;and transgenerational female group (group F2-C-♀) or male group (group F2-C-♂) exposed to intrauterine euglycemia.Body weight of the offspring was recorded.At the age of 28 weeks,the weight of pancreas and visceral fat,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin,total triglyceride,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were measured in all groups.Two sample t test was used for statistical analysis.Results (1) At 4,24 and 28 weeks old,the body weight of group F2-G-♀ [(177.3± 12.3),(314.5± 13.9) and (322.3± 16.2) g] was remarkably increased compared with group F2-C-♀ [(164.3±6.0),(290.2± 18.3) and (300.2± 16.2) g,t=-2.324,-2.584and-2.359,all P ＜ 0.05].(2) At 28 weeks,the pancreas weight and the ratio of pancreas weight to body weight of group F1-G-♀ [(0.53 ±0.05) g and (0.17±0.02)％] were decreased significantly compared with group F1-C-♀ [(0.65±0.04) g and (0.21±0.02)％,t=4.159 and 2.483,both P ＜ 0.05].The pancreas weight,ratio of pancreas weight to body weight,visceral fat weight and fat weight of mass ratio in groups F2-G-♂ and F2-G-♀ were not remarkably different from groups F2-C-♂ and F2-C-♀,respectively (all P ＞ 0.05).(3)The level of FPG at three weeks of age in F2-G-♀ group was higher than in F2-C-♀ group [(6.5±0.8) vs (4.9±1.2) mmol/L,t=-2.786,P ＜ 0.05],and it was also higher in F2-G-♂ group than in F2-C-♂ group [(6.3±0.8) vs (4.7± 1.0) mmol/L,t=-2.696,P ＜ 0.05].At 28 weeks,the FPG level was (6.7±0.6) and (8.4±2.2) mmol/L in F2-G-♀ and F2-G-♂ groups,being higher than in F2-C-♀ and F2-C-♂ groups,respectively [(5.8±0.5) and (6.2± 1.0) mmol/L,t=-2.695 and-2.337,both P ＜ 0.05].Compared with F1-C-♀ group [(0.61 ±0.10) mmol/L],the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was lower in F1-G-♀ group [(0.47±0.05) mmol/L,t=2.433,P ＜ 0.05].(4) In groups F1-G-♀,F2-G-♀ and F2-G-♂,the structure of the islet cells was obviously atrophic and disordered,and β-cells were slightly decreased and distributed unevenly,but group F1-G-♂ had significantly increased β-cells with hypertrophic islet size compared with control group.Conclusions F 1 rat offsprings exposed to mild intrauterine hyperglycemia experience excessive weight gain after birth,impaired structure of the islet,metabolic abnormality,increased visceral fat weight and glucose and lipid metabolism disorder,which show intergenerational inheritance and gender differences.

This paper expatiates the application of classification, clustering-based data mining technology to Clinical Laboratory Information System (CLIS) with the introduction of the concepts of CLIS and data mining.

Objective To study preoperatively on TNM staging of esophageal carcinoma by endo-scopes ultrasonography ( EUS). Methods Sixty-one patients with esophageal carcinoma were preoperatively staged by EUS. The results were compared with the postoperative histopathological staging according to the new (1997) TNM classification. Results Clinical staging of T subsets by EUS was reliable with an overall accuracy rate of 86. 9% , while that of N subsets was relatively more difficult with an overall accuracy rate of 52. 5% ; sensitivity and specificity of regional lymph nodal metastases were 88. 9% and 23. 5% respectively. Conclusion EUS is relatively an accurate measure in assessing the depth of tumor infiltration, whereas further efforts are needed to improve the accuracy in N staging. EUS will be helpful in choice of the appropriate therapeutic procedure and predicting the possibility of surgical resection.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of medical malpractice from different grades of hospitals and to explore forensic investigation strategies in assessing medical dispute. METHODS: A total of 206 cases of medical dispute from 2009 to 2010 investigated by the Department of Forensic Medicine in Nanjing Medical University were selected and analyzed according to fault incidence, fault-prone part, and degree of causality in the treatment. RESULTS: Among the 206 cases analyzed, tertiary hospitals, secondary hospitals and primary hospitals showed medium, high and low error rate, respectively. A majority of medical malpractice cases were distributed in the departments of surgery, medicine and gynecology. CONCLUSION The frequency and severity of medical malpractice in primary hospitals were high, which were gradually reduced in tertiary and secondary hospitals.

Objective To explore the effects of osteoblasts on the recovery of hematopoiesis and angiogenesis in acute irradiation injury mice.Methods The femurs of 18 male BALB/c mice were used to prepare the bone marrow osteoblasts, and the rest mice were divided into 3 groups as normal group, saline group and osteoblast group.The mice in normal group received no treatment, and the other two groups were received 6.0 Gy 60Co γ-ray irradiation.After irradiation each mouse of osteoblast group was administered with 2 × 106 osteoblasts through tail vein injection, and equal volume saline was given to each mouse of saline group by the same way.The following factors were measured at 7, 14, 21 d after irradiation, they were the counts of peripheral blood cells and bone marrow mononuclear cells ( BMMNC ) , the percentage of CD34 + cells in BMMNC, the histology changes and micro vascular density (MVD) of bone marrow tissue.Results The counts of peripheral blood cells, BMMNC and hematopoietic tissue area in osteoblast group were higher than those in saline group.The percentage of CD34 + cells in BMMNC and the MVD of bone marrow in osteoblast group were also higher than those in saline group at 7, 14, 21 d after irradiation ( t = 2.46 - 64.51, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Osteoblasts could significantly promote the recovery of hematopoiesis and angiogenesis in mice after acute irradiation injury.

Objectives To evaluate the effect of N-Acetylcysteine on the airway inflammation and remodeling of obese asthma mice with high-fat diets. Methods Forty female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, asthma group (A), obese asthma group (B), treatment group (C) and normal control group (D). Group A were sensitized and challenged by ovalbum (OVA) and normal diets. Group B were sensitized and challenged as group A but fed with high-fat diets, while group C were sensitized, challenged and fed as group B, but administrated N-Acetylcysteine 200 mg/kg. d from the third week after challenge. The cells in BALF were counted and classified after staining, IL-6 and 8-iso-PGF2α(8-iso-PGF2α) in lung tissues were detected by ELISA. WAt, WAm, Pbm, as the remodeling indices, measured in lung pathological section. All parameters were compared among 4 groups. Results In comparison with group D, the leukocytes and EOS in BALF, WAt/Pbm, WAm/Pbm in lung section were increased as well as IL-6 and 8-iso-PGF2α in lung tissue elevated in group A and group B, while the maximum changes were observed in group B (P ＜0. 05). After NAC treatment, the IL-6, 8-iso-PGF2α and WAt/ Pbm were decreased significantly (P ＜0. 05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that WAt/Pbm and IL-6 were in positive correlation with 8-iso-PGF2α (r =0. 817, 0. 737, P ＜0. 01). Conclusions N-Acetylcysteine can alleviate the airway inflammation and remodel reaction of asthma by a substantial inhibition of the oxidative stress reaction in lung.
