Methods: 152 infants with diarrhea in outpatient department were divided into two groups treated with miyalisan (80 cases) or ribavirin (72 cases) for 3 days. The therapy could be continued for another 3 days if necessary. Results : The Clinically effective rate and the negative conversion rate of rotavirus in the treated group and controlled group were 93.8% and 87%, 82% and 60%, respectively, there were sinnificantly different(P＜0.05) between two g roups. Conclusion: Miyalisan had showed a better efficacy in treatment of infants' rotavivus enteritis than ribavirin.

Objective To understand the relationship between the fluoride contents and the total hardness, pH value, the depth of well in the endemic fluorosis areas of Hejian city. Methods 40 villages in 2 towns of Hejian city were selected randomly and the well water samples in these villages were collected and determined. Results The contents of fluoride in the well water were higher than the limit(1 mg/L) in Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water Quality (China, 2001), ranged 1.2～4.4 mg/L, with a mean of 2.80 mg/L. The fluoride contents increased as the total hardness decreased (r=-0.615, P

Objective To apply a non-invasive and feasible method for the quantification of local wall shear stress (WSS) in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging. Methods The fight common carotid artery of a young healthy male volunteer was examined using cine phase-contrast MR sequence. The cross- sectional area, average flow velocity, maximum velocity and flow rate were obtained. Three dimensional paraboloid model was applied to measure WSS value at common carotid artery. Results The mean/peak WSS was (0.75±0.41)N/m2 for the common carotid artery; The mean (range) velocity was (23.4± 12.0) cm/s; The mean (range) luminal vessel area was (32.2±2.9) mm2; The blood flow rate was (7.8±4. 6) ml/s; Conclusion WSS's magnitude, distribution and changes can be determined by MR imaging combining with the three-dimensional paraboloid method.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate whether medial cerebellar nucleus may be involved in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression (PSD)and explore the pathway that mediates this effect.Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group,stroke group,PSD group,medial cerebellar nucleus (Med)lesion group,and superior cerebellar peduncle (xscp)lesion group.The ethological score of depression was evaluated.The neurotransmitters of Glu and GABA in the lateral hypothalamic area were detected by high performance liquid chromatography.Results Compared with those in control group,the levels of GABA and Glu expressions did not significantly differ in the lateral hypothalamic area in stroke group (P > 0.05 ).In contrast,the levels in PSD group,Med lesion group and xscp lesion group were lower than those in stroke group to different extent (P <0.01). Conclusion These results preliminarily show that medial cerebellar nucleus may participate in the pathogenesis of post-stroke depression,which may be mediated by the cerebellum-hypothalamic pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the perioperative prophylactic utilization of antibiotics in cataract patients in ophthalmology department of our hospital.METHODS:100 cases of cataract surgery in 2009 were randomly collected from our hospital.Category of antibiotics,administration time point,medication time,wound healing and drug costs in hospitalization period were analyzed statistically and the rationality of above indexes was evaluated.RESULTS:100 cases all received prophylactic antimicrobials by local and systematic administration in the perioperative period(100%).Drugs for systematic administration contained Levofloxacin(n=67,67%),Cefuroxime sodium for injection(n=25,25%),Clindamycin phosphate injection(n=2,2%) and Ceftazidime for injection(n=6,6%).63 cases were only given drugs 30 min before operation(63%);12 cases were given medicine 30 min before operation and within 24 h after operation(12%);above situation accounted for 75%.25 cases were given medicine before operation and within 24 h after operation(25%),in which the average medication duration was 2.5 days and the longest was 4 days.CONCLUSION:The irrational use of drugs in our hospital manifests inappropriate selection and too long use of antibiotics after operation.The interference of perioperative prophylactic utilization of antibiotics should be reinforced and it is urgent to intensify consciousness of physicians about rational use of antibiotics in perioperative period.

Objective To reconstruct 16?bit images of metal implants using the extended function of computed tomography ( CT) imaging, and to analyze the effect of the metal CT value on calculation of dose distribution by evaluation of metal CT values in different scanning conditions. Methods A stainless steel rod and a titanium rod were inserted in a phantom. The 12?and 16?bit images and CT value distribution of metal implants were obtained by scanning the phantom using 120 kV tube voltage and 230 mA tube current. The 16?bit images and CT value distribution of metal implants were obtained by scanning the phantom using fixed tube current ( 230 mA) with varied tube voltage ( 100, 120, and 140 kV) or fixed tube voltage ( 120 kV) with varied tube current ( 180, 230, and 280 mA) . In the Varian treatment planning system, a single?field plan and a parallel?opposed field plan were designed based on the CT images. The dose distribution was calculated and compared by the paired t test. Results The CT values of the stainless steel rod and the titanium rod were both 3 071 HU in 12?bit CT images. In 16?bit CT images;however, the CT value of the stainless steel rod was significantly larger than that of the titanium rod. There were no significant differences in CT value of 16?bit image and dose distribution in radiotherapy plan between three scanning conditions with different tube currents. Under three scanning conditions with different tube voltages, the maximum CT values were 13 568, 13 127, and 12 295 HU for the stainless steel rod and 8 420, 7 140, and 6 310 HU for the titanium rod, respectively. Conclusions High?density metal implants cannot be distinguished by 12?bit images, while the distribution of metal CT value can be obtained by 16?bit images. The dose distribution of metal implants based on 12?bit images is different from that based on 16?bit images. Changes in tube voltage cause substantial changes in the CT value for metal implants, leading to changes in dose distribution in radiotherapy. Variation of tube current within a certain range causes slight changes in metal CT value and dose distribution.

Radiotherapy not only acts as an important local treatment of cancer, but also plays a key role in regulation of immune function. Radiotherapy regulates anti?tumor immune responses by promoting the generation of neoantigens, regulating the release of cytokine, and enhancing the sensitivity of tumor to cell?mediated immunity. Recently, several studies and clinical practice reported the abscopal effect in some patients undergoing radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, which showed partial or complete response of metastases outside the irradiation field, suggesting the combination therapy as a promising strategy. However, further studies are needed for the understanding of the mechanism and influencing factors for immunity such as radiation dose and fractionation scheme. This paper reviews the research advances in the mechanism of radiotherapy?immunotherapy interaction and the combination therapy for cancer.
