Objective To evaluate the value of creatine kinase MB(CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I(cTnI)to earlier diagnosis on myocardial injury in newborn infants with asphyxial.Methods Dynamic variation of serum CK-MB and cTnI levels were measured at birth 1,5 and 10 days,respectively,in 40 asphyxia newborn infants and 20 control neonates.Results Serum CK-MB and cTnI levels of asphyxia neonates were significantly higher than those in control group(P0.05).Conclusion The determination of CK-MB and cTnI levels can help the prediction of myocardial injury after asphyxia.

Objective From May 2009-January 2010,a total of 3768 biosamples were tested for influenza A ( H1N1 ) infection at Zhengzhou center for disease control and prevention,China.1452 cases were laboratory confirmed H1N1 infection and 2316 were considered suspected victims.To evaluate the current protocol of influenza A (H1N1) based on the epidemic situations of Zhengzhou,relationships among features were explored and whether additional clinical characteristics should be part of H1N1 diagnosis protocols were determined.Methods Both clinical and epidemiologic findings as well as statistical analyses were described in this article.Test for independence between features related to the disease diagnosis has been proposed.Furthermore,logistic regression was carried out to measure the association among features and latent class analysis was performed to identify additional crucial features in laboratory confirmed H1N1 by building various latent models with different combinatorial features.Results The mean generation time for H1N1 was estimated as 3.59 ± 1.41 days (range =2.01 -7.26).The estimated infection rate was 0.258 ±0.088 3,and reproduction number was 1.94 (95％ CI =1.12 - 3.18 ).Our results revealed that the six features,including molecular detections using three separate primer/probe sets,gender,age and temperature,are all associated with clinical diagnosis of H1N1,and that three separate primer/probe sets for laboratory confirmed H1N1,age and temperature are associated with each other.Conclusion Additional clinical features applied into the H1N1 diagnosis with current three primers/probe sets can increase the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the value of Cook MOB-15 system in guiding wire insertion during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods: The clinical data of 51 patients who received Cook MOB-15 system-guided wire insertion during ERCP between Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty patients who received conventional ERCP catheter for malignant jaundice between Jan. 2002 and Dec. 2004 were taken as control. The successful insertion rates were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The successful insertion rate was 90.2% (46/51) in the Cook MOB-15 system group and 72.5% (29/40) in the conventional group; there was significant difference between the 2 groups (P

Objective:To search the release in vitro of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel consist of ganciclovir instead of aciclovir is whether better than the Old. Methods:Using the content of ganciclovir and acyclovir as the index, taking the second oar method ( in Ch. P 2010), drug release in vitro test was investigated. Results:The character of drug release of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel was e-qual to the old, the rate of drug release was similar, The amount of drug release was the same. Both drugs met the requirements of clin-ical medication. The character corneal permeability of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel was better than the old. Gel matrix had no influ-ences on drug release, drug would be bring treatment effect after the way that it was released quickly then was dissolved in tear. Con-clusion:The drug release characteristics consistent with ophthalmic preparation requirements. The character of drug release of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel consist of ganciclovir instead of aciclovir is equal to the old, the time administer drug and interval time is gener-ally scientific, reasonable and feasible, providing the basis for the pharmacodynamics , toxicology and clinical study in the next step.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and chronological change of ulcerative colitis(UC) in the Chinese PLA General Hospital in near 16 years. Methods Patients diagnosed with UC during the period from 1994 to 2009 in the Chinese PLA General Hospital were registered and their clinical profiles were analyzed. Results From 1994 to 2009, of 525 patients diagnosed with UC, with a median onset age of 42 years. The predominant form of UC was extensive colitis, which affected almost 33.3% (175/525), left-sided colitis was present in 21.3% (112/525) and rectum was present in 12.4%(65/525). The chronic relapsing type of UC was the most common (69.0%, 362/525 ), followed by the initial onset type (18. 1%, 95/525 ), chronic continuous type with intermittent exacerbations (9.7%,51/525), and acute fulminant type (3. 2%, 17/525 ). Two hundred and twenty-one patients (42. 1%,221/525) were graded as mild, 162 (30.9% , 162/525) as moderate, and 142(27.0%, 142/525) as severe UC. The proportion of mild colitis and rectum was significantly higher in patients with an onset age of over 60 years, compared with those with an onset age of less than 30 years( P ＜0. 05 ). The proportion of UC patients with old age onset ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), male sex ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), mild colitis ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), rectum ( P ＜0. 01 ) , relapse-free type ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) demonstrated a chronological increase from 1994 to 2009.Conclusions The distinctive clinical features and chronological change were seen in UC patients in recent years. Compare to those with an onset at less than 30 years, the proportion of mild colitis and rectum was significantly larger in patients with an onset at over 60 years of age, and the proportion of UC patients with old age onset, male sex, mild colitis, rectum, relapse type were less.

Objective To investigate the indication and value of metallic stent in the management of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice(OJ). Method The clinical data of 15 patients with malignant OJ treated in our hospital were analysed retrospectively. All the 15 patients were treated with metallic stent including cholangiocarcinoma in 8 cases, carcinoma of gallbladder in 3 cases, pancreatic carcinoma in 2 cases, porta hepatis metastasis of gastric carcinoma after radical gastrectomy in 2 cases. Result All the patients' jaundice disappeared 11-38 days after the stent placement. No severe complications or death occurred in this series. One patient had cholimia 5 days after the stent placement, which was cured by non-operative method. All cases were followed up periodically, the survival time was 30-384 days(averag 180.5 days). Conclusions Installing stent of Titanium-Nickel metallic alloy for the patient with unresectable malignant OJ is an ideal palliative therapy which is simple and less discomfortable.and less complications.The effect of reducing jaundice is satisfactory. This method may offer a new alternative method in the management of malignant OJ.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of segmental hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones.Methods In this study, 414 patients suffering from intrahepatic bile duct stones underwent hepatectomy from Jan 1981 to Dec 2001. Stones distribution, operation modality,postoperative complication and therapeutic effect were evaluated. Results Postoperative complications occurred in 72 cases(17.4%), mortality was 0.7%. A follow up of 2 to 22 years was achieved in 305 patients (73.7%), with excellent or good result in 88.9%, residual stone in 15.7%,and stone recurrence in 4.6%.Conclusion Appropriate use of hepatectomy is effective for the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for hilar bile duct carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with hilar bile duct carcinoma from Jan 1998 to Jul 2003 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The misdiagnosis rate(39%) was high. All patients underwent a surgery. The median survival time of 16 patients treated by radical resection was 30 months. The 1,3,5-year survival rate was 93%,50% and 25% respectively. While the median survival time of the rest 20 patients treated by a variety of non-radical operation was 16 months with 1,3,5-year survival rate of 47%,8% and 0 respectively(t=2.585).Conclusions Early diagnosis and radical resection improves long-term survival of patients with hilar bile duct carcinoma.
