Objective To investigate the effects of Xinnaoxuemianning combined with statins on carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods 180 cerebral infarction patients were divided into the observation group (90cases) and the control group (90cases) by random number table method. The control group was given atorvastatin calcium tablets and the observation group was given additionally Xinnaoxuemianning. The changes and prognosis of carotid atherosclerotic plaques were evaluated before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions was counted. Results There were no differences in the carotid atherosclerotic plaque, TCM syndrome score and neurological deficit severity between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the above indexes were significantly improved, and the increasing degree of the observation group was better than that of the control group. The incidence rate of adverse reactions was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (5.56％ vs.13.33％) (P<0.05). Conclusion Xinnaoxuemianning can reduce the carotid atherosclerotic plaque area and correct the unstable plaques in patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for determining and comparing the contents of diosbulbin B in
Dioscorea bulbifera L. from different regions. Methods The medicine powders were extracted twice by water, then the water extracts were combined and detected by HPLC at 35℃,with Kromasil-C18 column (4. 6 mm×250 mm,5μm) and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-glacial-acetic acid (34660. 1). The flow rate was 1. 0 mL·min-1 and the detection wavelength was 210 nm. Results The linear range of diosbulbin B was 26. 0-260. 0 μg·mL-1(r=0. 999 9). The average content of diosbulbin B in Dioscorea bulbifera L. from different areas was that of Hebei>Guangxi>Jiangsu>Sichuan>Zhejiang. Conclusion The method is simple,quick,accurate and suitable for the determination of diosbulbin B in Dioscorea bulbifera L. from different regions.

[Objective]To verify whether or not the modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into axis is effective in preventing postoperative axial symptom and maintaining postoperative cervical sagittal alignment.[Method]Since March 2002 to December 2003,forty-eight patients underwent modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into Axis,among them,thirty-two patients who were followed up for more than 2 years were included in this study.Preoperative and postoperative JOA score,degree of axial symptom,ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index were recorded and compared.[Result]Preoperative and postoperative JOA score was(9.04?2.9)and(12.5?3.1)respectively,with recovery rate as(44.9?26.9).There was significant difference between preoperative evident axil symptom rate(46.8%)and postoperative evident axil symptom rate(18.7%),while no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index was seen.[Conclusion]Modified open-door laminoplasy is less invasive to the posterior extensor mechanism especially the semispinalis cervicis than conventional open-door laminoplasy.This new procedure is effective in preventing postoperative morbidities often seen after conventional laminoplasy with adequate decompression of the spinal cord.

0.05);the better result was obtained including low back pain,Taillard index and relative disc height at the end of follow-up in POLA.[Conclusion]Posterior oblique lumbar arthrodeses is better ideal method in the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Background and purpose:Matrix metalloproteinase11(MMP-11)is an interesting member of the MMP family,and its overexpression has been demonstrated in human cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.Furthermore,strong MMP11 gene expression is correlated with both increased aggressiveness of tumors and a poor clinical outcome,but there was no related reports on gastric cancer.We focussed our study on the significance of MMP-11 expression in gastric cancer.Methods:MMP-11 was selected and confirmed at both mRNA and protein level in 130 cases of gastric cancer serum specimen by RT-PCR,enzyme-linked-immuno-sorbent-assay(ELISA)techniques,respectively.Results:The total positive rates of serum MMP-11 mRNA in gastric cancer and healthy people were 68.4% and 5%,respectively.Our data demonstrated that MMP-11 protein levels in gastric cancer were(44?27)ng/ml,significantly higher than those in control subjects(P=0.001).MMP-11 protein levels in 30 cases with recurrence were(51?27)ng/ml and(27?28)ng/ml in 30 patients without recurrence.MMP-11mRNA positive expression was consistent with MMP-11 protein levels in gastric cancer patients.Conclusions:Serum MMP-11 may play an important role as a biomarker in diagnosis and prediction of recurrent gastric cancer.

The repair of severed tendons within the digital sheath constitutes a complicated surgical problem. The injury and adhesion of the tendons are an important factor for functional return in the hand. On the basis of experimental study, 7 cases of injuries of flexor digitalis tendons have been treated by using silastic artificial tendons since 1982. During the operation the tendon graft was ensheathed in a porous filmy silastic tube, including the sites of anastomosis. This technique can prevent adhesion between tendon and its surrounding tissues. The operation can be performed in one stage. The operative procedure and its indication, reconstruction of the pulley system and the gliding function of the tendon were discussed.

HPV DNA were detected in 60 biopsies from women with condyloma acuminata (vulva 47,Vagina 12,cervix 1)by dot blot hybridiztion;physical states of 8 HPV 11 DNA were analyzed by techniques of restriction endonuclease and Southern blot hybridization. HPV 11 was found in 19biopsies of vulva (13 ). vagina (5)and cervix (1),and HPV 16 and 18 in lvaginal and 1 vulvar biopsy respectively. All of HPV 11 DNA were episomal in cells . Our results provided the data for further studying the relationship between HPV and genital cancer in our country.

All the complications from 535 patients undergoing selective coronary artery angiogram by using Judkins method have been documented during and after the procedures and compared with collected data from Chinese papers published before 1999.The main complications included death, acute myocardial infarction,acute heart failure, severe arrhythmia,and peripheral vessel complication.In 535 patients the main complication rate was 2 99%(16 of 535),in which ventricular fibrillation rate accounted for 0 37%(2 of 535),severe bradycardia for 1 31%(7 of 535),and peripheral vessel complications for 1 31%(7 of 535).There was no death,no AMI, no heart failure,no artery embolus,no aortic dissection.Compared with 3 01% (141 of 4679) of complications for collected data from domestic literature,there was no significant difference.The data suggested that with effective preventive measures,coronary artery angiogram is a reasonably safe proceduce,although there is still a possibility to have server complications.
