Objective The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of bumetanide on elderly type 2 diabetic patients with middle and advanced stages nephropathy. Methods Forty cases with diabetic nephropathy (DN) were divided into two groups:control group (20 cases) and treatment group (20 cases) . The control group accepted furosemide (20 mg, once a day) and the bumetanide was orally administrated at the dose of 1.0 mg, twice a day to the treatment group for 3 months. The assessment of transferrin (TRF) and urine microalbumin (UALB) was performed at the time points at the end of 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks after treatment. Results (1) The levels of BUN, SCr and UA after treatment were lower than before treatment, but there were no significant differences. (2) In the treatment group, the levels of TRF and UALB have decreased after treatment for 1 week, with no statistically significant. But at the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks,the differences were statistically significant ( <0.05) . Especially, during the three months follow-up,the levels of TRF and UALB at 12 weeks have decreased obviously. Conclusion The therapeutic effect of bumetanide on DN might be better than that of furosemide.

Objective To estimate the value of diffusion weighted imaging with background body signal suppression(DWIBS)in tumors of intestinal tract and metastasis.Methods 15 cass with tumors of intestinal tract underwent MRI and DWIBS examinations.Four of them underwent CT scan.Results All primary tumors were showed by conventional MR sequences and DWIBS.DWIBS showed that 4 cases had the invasion of placenta percreta,5 cases had transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity and 5 cases had lymphatic metastasis,while the conventional MR sequences showed the invasion of placenta percreta in 10 cases,the invasion of fat interspace in 8 cases,transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity in 3 cases and lymphatic metastasis in 3 cases.Conclusion DWIBS is better than the conventional MR sequences and CT in detecting the primary tumor of intestinal tract,transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity and lymphatic metastasis.However,the conventional MR sequences and CT is better than DWIBS in detecting the invasion of placenta percreta and fat interspace.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect of brachial plexus block with morphine and ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in children. Methods Forty-five children undergone upper extremity surgery were randomly divided into three groups (n = 15) , ie, Croup A (brachial plexus block with ropivacaine), Croup B (brachial plexus block with ropivacaine and subcutaneous injection of morphine) and Croup C (brachial plexus block with morphine and ropivacaine). The analgesic effect and the analgesia maintenance time were recorded by FLACC method at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after operation. The adverse reactions were observed 48 hours after operation. Results There was no statistical difference between Croup A and Croup B in the analgesia maintenance time and the number of cases without analgesic therapy at each time point (P > 0. 05). Compared with Croup A or Croup B, the analgesia maintenance time in Croup C were significantly extended and the number of cases without analgesic therapy at 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after operation were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The adverse effect was fairly light in three groups. Conclusion Brachial plexus block with morphine and ropivacaine may extend analgesia maintenance time effectively and safely in children undergone upper extremity surgery.

The development and influencing factors of compliance behavior of investigators in clinical trials were explored. According to literature review, a hypothetical model of development of compliance behavior of investigators in clinical trials was established, and the influencing factors of compliance behavior of investigators and their interrelationships were studied based on questionnaire survey of five hundred investigators sampled randomly from one hundred clinical trial institutions in China. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and structural equation modeling were adopted to empirically analyze the results. Six variables in the hypothetical model were included: compliance behavior of investigators, credibility of clinical trial, capability of government regulation, quality control of sponsor, quality control of clinical institution and compliance intention of investigators. Empirical analysis showed that the compliance behavior of investigators in clinical trial was directly affected by compliance intention of investigators, quality control of sponsor and quality control of clinical institution. In addition, credibility of clinical trial and capability of government regulation indirectly affected the compliance behavior of investigators in clinical trial through influencing the compliance intention of investigators, quality control of sponsor and quality control of clinical institution. Quality control of sponsor was affected by credibility of clinical trial and capability of government regulation while quality control of clinical institution was only influenced by capability of government regulation.

Objective To isolate and identify the causative agent in an incident with crowd fever of adults in Henan province.Methods The cells was inoculated by the throat swabs of the patients and followed by neutralization assay and other molecular methods.Then indirect immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect the specific IgM/IgG antibodies against virus in the serum of the patients.Results We have isolated 2 strain adenoviruses from 10 swab samples,which were both identified as Ad11 by sequence analysis and neutralization test.6 of 10 samples were positive fer IgM specific for adenovirus and 3 positive for IgG.The remaining sample was negative for both.Conclusion The causative agent in this incident with crowd fever of adults was Ad11 in group B.

AIM: To study the influence of injection agent of pidotimod on function of the immune-system in normal and immune-depressed mice, and to investigate the mechanisms of the immunomodulating action of pidotimod. METHODS: The expressions of TNF-? and IL-6 in mice spleen was detected by RT-PCR method. The effects of pidotimod on phagocytosis functions of mice peritoneal exudate cells was investigated by neutral red phagocytosis. The lymphocyte proliferations induced by Con A or LPS were detected by MTT method. Adopt the serum haemolysis to measure the production of serum antibody. RESULTS: The normal and immune-depressed mice were treated for 14 days with different dosages of pidotimod by injection. Pidotimod can significantly increase the expressions of TNF-? and IL-6 of spleen, potentiate phagocytosis of the peritoneal exudate cells, potentiate the lymphocyte proliferations ability induced by Con A or LPS. CONCLUSION: Pidotimod can potentiate amelioration normal and immune-depressed mice immunesystem function and increase expressions of TNF-? and IL-6 of spleen.

Objective To study the influence factors for HBV reinfection following liver transplantation.Methods 92 cases of liver transplantation were enrolled for open non-randomized clinical study.Given conventional OLTx and immunosuppressive agents and antibiotics to prevent infection etc,patients are divided into lamivudine alone and HBIG combined with lamivudine group.Observation of postoperative liver function,HBV serum markers,HBV DNA in PBMC,YMDD and HBV S gene mutation,liver tissue IH etc.Results In 92 cases of liver transplantation with HBV-related liver disease,hepatitis B recurrence rate was 4.35%(4/92).In lamivudine group the HBV infection rate was 35%(7/20);In combined therapy group the HBV infection rate was 6.94%(5/72).With preoperatively negative HBV DNA negative the hepatitis B recurrence rate was 0;With preoperatively positive HBV DNA,the postoperative HBV infection rate was 17.39%(12/69),which had cases with S gene or YMDD mutation.In patients with negative HBV DNA before and after operation,the HBV re-infection rate was 11.11%(1/9);In 5 cases with preoperative HBV DNA positive,the HBV infection rate was 4/5 after LTx;before and after operation HBV DNA are positive,the HBV infection rate was 100%(3/3);the preoperative HBV DNA positive and postoperative HBV DNA negative,the HBV infection rate was 50%(1/2).Conclusion To prevent HBV infection after LTx,lamivudine group easily leads to HBV re-infection than HBIG combined with lamivudine group.Preoperative serum HBV DNA positive,preoperative and postoperative HBV YMDD and S gene mutation are the primary factors affecting the HBV re-infection after operation.HBV DNA positive in PBMC is the source of HBV re-infection,but also the factor of recurrence of hepatitis B.

ObjectiveTo study the MR Imaging features of breast phyllodes tumor (PT),and to correlate it with pathological results.MethodClinical and MRI findings were retrospectively reviewed in twenty-seven women with 28 PTs lesions confirmed by surgical pathology.Statistical analyses were one-way ANOVA for size analysis,Fisher exact test for analysis of MR appearances and Spearman correlation to study the relationship between MRI findings and BI-RADS categories.Results( 1 ) The histologic findings were benign,borderline and malignant PTs in 14.3％ (4/28),53.6％ (15/28) and 32.1％ (9/28) of lesions,respectively.(2) The mean maximum-diameter were (6.4 ± 3.9) cm,(5.7 ± 2.2) cm in borderline type and (4.8 ± 1.8)cm in benign type respectively.The results showed differences in lesion's size among the three type (F = 287.541,P =0.000),especially between malignant and benign type (P = 0.033 ).(3)Internal non-enhanced septations and silt-like changes on enhanced images,as well as time-signal curve on MRI correlated significantly with the histological grade ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 4 ) If the category BI-RADS ≥ 4a was considered to be a suspicious sign for malignant lesion,the diagnostic accuracy of MRI would be 96.4％ (27/28),and the BI-RADS category of the MRI could reflect the PT's histological grade with a low correlation coefficient ( r = 0.382,P = 0.045 ).Conclusion The findings of PT on MRI have some characteristics,with tumor size and several MRI features correlating with the histological grade of breast PT.
