Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect ofGuizhi-Fuling Pill combined with conventional western medicine therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods A total of 78 patients with DNP were randomly divided into treatment group (40 patients) and control group (38 patients).The patients in the control group were administrated with mecobalamin on the basis of conventional treatment. In addition to the therapy of control group,patients in treatment group were givenGuizhi-Fuling Pill. The patients in both groups were treated for 2 weeks.The level of homocysteine (Hcy) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) in both groups were measured. Toronto clinical scoring system (TCSS) was used to evaluate the curative effect.Results The total effect rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (95.0%vs. 76.3%;χ2=5.616,P=0.018). After treatment, the MNCV of common peroneal nerve (46.1 ± 6.3 m/svs.42.5 ± 5.5 m/s;t=2.734,P<0.01 ), MNCV of median nerve (49.8 ± 5.2 m/svs.46.3 ± 5.9 m/s;t=2.607,P<0.05 ), SNCV of common peroneal nerve (38.5 ± 4.6 m/s vs. 35.4 ± 4.3 m/s;t=3.105,P<0.05 ), SNCV of median nerve (45.3 ± 5.2 m/svs. 42.3 ± 4.8 m/s;t=2.627, P<0.05 ) in the treatment group were significantly increased than those in the control group. The integral of TCSS (5.3 ± 3.1vs. 7.2 ± 2.9;t=2.823,P<0.01) and the level of Hcy (13.3 ± 3.2 μmol/Lvs. 17.1 ± 3.4 μmol/L;t=5.178, P<0.05) were significantly lower in treatment group than those in control group (P<0.05).Conclusions The Guizhi-Fuling Pill combined with conventional western medicine therapy could improve MNCV and SNCV and reduce the level of Hcy and improve the clinical effect.

Objective To study the growth suppression effect of 131 I labeled anti KDR monoclonal antibody on the tumor tissue of human bladder cancer subcutaneously implanted in SCID mice. Methods The SCID murine model was established by subcutaneous implantation of human bladder cancer in mice. The 131 I labeled anti KDR monoclonal antibody (3G9) was injected into the caudal vein of mice (experimental group). The anti KDR monoclonal antibodies and saline were injected into the caudal vein of the mice (control group and blank group, respectively). The growth suppression effect of 131 I labeled anti KDR monoclonal antibody on the tumor tissue of SCID mice bearing human bladder cancer was observed. Results Tumor tissue necrosis was found in the mice of the experimental group and the control group at 3 weeks after the injection. Compared with that in the blank group, the growth suppression ratio in the experimental group and the control group were 96.8% and 87.7%, respectively. Conclusion 131 I labeled anti KDR monoclonal antibody may be of potential clinical significance in the anti angiogenesis therapy for human cancer.

Objective To find out the relationship between fetal growth restriction (FGR) and transforming growth factor -β1 (TGF-β1). Methods The levels of TGF-β1 in maternal serum and placental tissue of FGR were detected with using ELISA and immunohistochemistry technique, and it was compared with those of normal term pregnancy. Results The levels of TGF-β1 in maternal serum of FGR group were significantly higher than those of normal term pregnancy (76. 5 ± 33. 4 VS 47.6 ± 24. 2, t' = 4. 65, P ＜0. 05). As for the intensity of the immunohistochemistry signal, TGF-β1 in syncytiotrophoblastic cells of FGR was markedly higher than that of control group (81.82% vs 5.83%, P ＜0. 01). Conclusions The levels of TGF-β1 are closely related with FGR.

Objective To supply morphologic basis for designing the medial antebrachial neurocutaneou vascular flap. Methods Microanatomy and transparent specimens made by colored latex injection were applied to study the surgical anatomy of the medial antebrachial neurocutaneous nerve (MAN) and it's relationship to basilic vein, the origin, orientation,caliber of neurovascular cutaneous perforators and it's nutrient pattern to the MAN. Results The MAN got its blood supply by paraneural vessels which constituted of 4 cutaneous perforators' The paraneural vessels supply not only the MAN,but also it's adjacent flap. The MAN was accompanied by basilic vein about 1 cm away from it. Conclusion Along basilic vein,medial antebrachial neurocutaneous vascular flap could be designed and used to repair soft tissue defects around the elbow and wrist

Objective To evaluate the causes of the metamorphopsia in patients with reattached retina after scleral buckling surgery. Methods Amsler grid test, ophthalmoscopic examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed on 79 patients (79 eyes) with reattached retina at the 2nd week, 2nd, 6th month and 1st year after scleral buckling operation. Results Two weeks after the operation, 51 patients (51 eyes, 64.56%) complained of metamorphopsia, and 44 patients (44 eyes, including 35 with and 9 without metamorphopsia) were examined by OCT and FFA. In patients with metamorphopsia, the results of OCT in 31 (88.57%) revealed abnormal macula with seven kinds consisting mostly of stratum neuroepithelium detachment (74.29%), while of FFA in 6 patients showed abnormal macular (17.14%) including 4 with neuroepithelium detachment (66.67%). In patients without metamorphopsia, abnormal macula could be found in 2 by OCT while nothing special was seen in FFA. Most abnormal macula in patients followed-up 2 months, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively meliorated as time went by, with alleviative or disappeared metamorphopsia; while the patients with persistently existing macular membrane had aggravating metamorphopsia. Conclusions Abnormal macula is the main reason for metamorphopsia after scleral buckling surgery. Neuroepithelium detachment and macular membrane are the main causes of metamorphopsia at the early and terminal stage after operation.

Objective To explore the association between the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in gastric cancer patients’ serum or the relative expression of LDH in their tissues and the patients’prognosis.Methods 60 specimens of gastric canc-er patients who confirmed by pathological diagnosis were collected from 2012 to 2013,include the serum specimens and tis-sue specimens.Their serum level of LDH were detected,and the relative expressions level of LDH in the sample of normal tissues,gastric cancer tissues and metastatic lymph nodes were quantify by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse tran-scription-PCR (Realtime-PCR).Finally,the relationship between the expression of LDH and clinical pathologic features were analyzed by independent t-test or anova statistics.Results The serum level of LDH was highly increased than control group (340.89±10.67 IU/ml,t=24.7,P<0.01);the relative gene expression of LDH in normal tissue,human gastric cancer and metastatic lymph node were 1.0,3.39 and 2.35.The result suggests the serum level of LDH were associated with pTNM stage and lymph node metastases (t=5.2,4.8,P<0.01).The relative gene expression of LDH in gastric canc-er tissues were associated with tumor sizes,pTNM stage and lymph node metastases (t=18.2,15.3,P<0.01 and F=7.2, P<0.01).Conclusion The serum LDH level and the expression of LDH in cancer tissue were significantly increased,and their expression were correlated with the patient’s prognosis.The serum level of LDH and the expression of LDH in gastric cancer tissue may be potential indicator to evaluated the prognosis of the patient with gastric cancer.
