Objective To understand the prevalence situation of disabled children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) in China. Methods The data of disabled ASD children aged 0~17 years from the Second National Sampling Survey on Disability was selected and analyzed. Results The prevalence rate of disabled ASD was 0.212 among children aged 0~17 years in China, the prevalence rate of disabled ASD among boys (0.282‰ ) was higher than that among girls (0.132‰ ) (χ2=16.119, P=0.000). The prevalence rate of disabled ASD was higher in younger group than that in elder group (P=0.000). There was no significant difference in the prevalence rate of those children between city and countryside (χ2=0.093, P=0.760). There were 73.3% disabled ASD children received rehabilitation training and service, and 26.7% disabled ASD children didn't. Conclusion Disabled ASD children is a big group in China, and their rehabilitation, education, and care after grow-up are badly in need of social attention.

Objective:To study assessment value of brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for severity of coro‐nary disease in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods :According to SYNTAX score of coronary an‐giography ,a total of 206 CHD patients from our hospital were divided into mild group (n=74 ,SYNTAX score <23 scores) ,medium group (n= 72 ,SYNTAX score 23~32 scores) and severe group (n= 60 ,SYNTAX score > 32 scores) .Another 80 healthy subjects undergoing physical examinations were selected as healthy control group during the same period .BaPWV ,ankle brachial index (ABI) and carotid -femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) were measured and compared among all groups .Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation among baPWV ,cfPWV ,ABI and SYNTAX score in CHD patients ;multi -factor Logistic regression model was used to analyze whether baPWV ,cfPWV and ABI were risk factors for SYNTAX scores .Results:Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in baPWV [ (1.2 ± 0.3) m/s vs .(1.5 ± 0.4) m/s vs .(1.8 ± 0.6) m/s vs . (2.0±0.7)m/s]andcfPWV [ (1.3±0.5)m/svs.(2.5±0.7)m/svs.(2.9±0.8)m/svs.(3.4±0.7)m/s]in mild group ,medium group and severe group (P<0.05 or <0.01) ,and that of severe group was more than that of medium group ,and>mild group in turn ,there was significant difference by pairwise comparisons ( P<0.05 all);significant reduction in ABI [ (1.02 ± 0.32) vs .(0.82 ± 0.24) vs .(0.73 ± 0.16) vs .(0.56 ± 0.09)] in mild group , medium group and severe group ,and that of severe group was < medium group ,and < mild group in turn ,there was significant difference by pairwise comparisons ( P<0.05 all) .Pearson correlation analysis indicated that baPWV and cfPWV were positively correlated with SYNTAX score ( r= 0.613 , P= 0.007;r=0.528 , P=0.023) ,while ABI had no correlation with SYNTAX score .Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes melli‐tus ,hypertension ,baPWV and cfPWV were risk factors for SYNTAX score (OR=4.016~5.809 , P<0.05 or <0.01) .Conclusion:The baPWV can effectively assess severity of coronary disease in CHD patients .

To study the chemical constituents from the the deep-sea fungus Alternaria sp. F49. Seven compounds were isolated from the EtOAc extract by using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and HPLC methods. Based on the spectroscopic analysis, their structures were identified as (8R)-5-O-methyl-orcinotriol (1), orcinotriol (2), α-acetylorcinol (3), 3'-hydroxyalternariol 5-O-methyl ether (4), altenusiol (5), altenusin (6), and 5'-methoxy-6-methyl-biphenyl-3,4,3'-triol (7). (8R)-5-O-Methyl-orcinotriol (1) is a new phenolic compound which has never been reported in the literature. Compounds 4-7 showed strong DPPH free radical scavenging activity; whereas compounds 1-7 showed strong ABTS free radical scavenging activity.

To study the toxicokinetics of bakuchiol, hepatic and renal toxicity in rats after single oral administration of Psoraleae Fructus and combined with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, in order to provide scientific evidences for clinical safe medication use. A total of 35 SD rats were randomly divided into seven groups: vehicle (distilled water) control group, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma group, positive control (aristolochic acid A) group, Psoraleae Fructus (40 g x kg(-1)) group( both male and female rats), Psoraleae Fructus and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (40 +20) g x kg(-1) group (both male and female rats). HPLC-UV method was used to determine the concentration of bakuchiol in rat plasma at different time points after single oral administration. Plasma alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), plasma creatinine (Cr), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim-1) were measured after administration for 24 h. The main toxicokinetics parameters of bakuchiol in rats exert significantly gender difference. When Psoraleae Fructus combination with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, the total area under the plasma concentration-time curve( AUC), C(max), and plasma clearance (CL) of bakuchiol were increased, respectively; CL, half-life (t½) were decreased, and T(max) were prolonged. The biochemical indicators (including ALT, AST, BUN, Cr and KIM-1 level) in different dose of Psoraleae Fructus groups, were found no statistically significant difference when compared with vehicle control group. The level of NAG in both Psoraleae Fructus and compatibility with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma groups were significant increased (P < 0.05). There are obvious effects on toxicokinetics of bakuchiol in rats when Psoraleae Fructus combined with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Renal toxicity induced by Psoraleae Fructus at high dose was observed after single oral administration and no liver damage in rats was found.

Objective To observe the effect of different intra-abdominal pressure and different time points on hemodynamics,ent-tidal CO_2(P_(ET)CO_2) and airway pressure(Paw) during the procedure of gynecological laparoscopic operations.Methods 60 cases undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operations were randomly divided into two groups:the intra-abdominal pressure was 1.3kPa in groupⅠ(30 cases) and 1.9kPa in groupⅡ(30 cases).ASAⅠgrade.In both groups,systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),mean arterial pressure(MAP), heart rates(HR).S-T.Paw and P_(ET)CO_2 were monitored and recorded before anesthesia(T_0),shortly after intubation (T_1),pre-pneumoperitoneum (T_2),5min after pneumoperitoneum (supine position) (T_3) and 5min (T_4),10min (T_5),20min(T_6),30min (T_7) after trendelenbury position (head down 200) and 5rain after deflation (T_8).Results In both groups SBP,DBP,MAP at time point T_3,T_4,T_5 were increased significantly compared with those of T_0 (P0.05),but there was significant difference in Paw and P_(ET)CO_2 in different time points within the same group and between the same time point in different groups after pneumoperitoneum(P

AIMTo investigate the changes of the spermatozoa ultrastructures before and after renal transplantation in uremic patients.

METHODSThe sperm of five uremic patients before and after transplantation and four healthy volunteers were collected and examined by scanning electron microscopy.

RESULTSAbnormal spermatozoa were found in patients pre-transplantation; abnormalities included deletion of the acrosome, absence of the postacrosomal and postnuclear ring, dumbbell-like changes of the head, tail curling, and absence of the mitochondrial sheath in the mid-segment. After renal transplantation, most of the spermatozoa became normal.

CONCLUSIONThere are many abnormalities with regard to the appearance and structure of the head, acrosome, mitochondria and tail of the spermatozoa in uremic patients. The majority of the spermatozoa returned to normal after renal transplantation, but a few still presented some abnormalities possibly relating to the administration of immunosuppressants.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnosis and treatment of the cholangiocarcinoma.

METHODSForty one patients with cholangiocarcinoma who were enrolled in our hospital from January 1970 to January 2005 were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSAmong these 41 patients, the 1, 3, and 5-year survival rate was 82.3%, 45.8%, 45.8%, respectively, with radical operation, and was 11.0%, 0, 0 with non-radical operation (chi2 = 21.38, P < 0.01). The 1-year and 3-year survival rate was 11.0% and 0 in 9 patients treated with laparatomy, which was not significantly different from those treated with non-radical operation (chi2 = 0.02, P = 0.89). Four patients did not receive operation and all died within one year. Among 25 patients who did not experience lymph node metastasis, the 1, 3, and 5-year survival rate was 58.4%, 27.3%, and 27.3%. Among 16 patients who were found lymph node metastasis, the 1-year and 3-year survival rate was 61.8% and 0 (chi2 = 13.85, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONOperation is the most effective treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. Radical operation is the only curative treatment.
