Objective: To investigate the mechanism of capsaicin in treating active psoriasis vulgaris. Methods: A total of 42 patients with active psoriasis vulgaris diagnosed by histology and clinical features were given either placebo or 0.025% capsaicin ointment four times daily for 30 days randomly by double-blind method. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1 (VIPR1) gene translation in active psoriatic lesions before and after treatment with capsaicin ointment was detected by in situ hybridization. Results: There was positive staining of VIPR1 gene in all the layers of psoriatic epidermis (95.5%) before the treatment with capsaicin ointment, but nearly no dyeing in epidermis (18.2%) after the treatment for 30 days. There was nearly no brown staining before and after treatment in control group. Conclusion: VIPR1 gene translation in psoriatic epidermis is down-regulated after capsaicin treatment for 30 days.

BACKGROUND: Properties of cancellous bone is significant for metabolic diseases, fracture and joint retrograde diseases.OBJECTIVE: To study the biomechanical properties of cancellous bone.DESIGN: Experimental observation based on femur specimens as the single sample.SETTING: Laboratory of Orthopaedic Biomechanics Ninth Affiliated Hospital Shanghai Second Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: The study was completed in the Laboratory of Orthopaedic Biomechanics, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital from May to July in 2001,totally 19 male cadaveric femoral heads were selected.METHODS: Totally 19 cadeveric cancellouce bone specimens(about 30years old) from the bearing area of fresh femur head were tested by compression test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Yield load limiting stress, limiting strain, energy value and elastic modulus of specimens.RESULTS: The compressive data of cancellous bone were measured, the average value of yield load was (410.64 ± 190.29) N , limiting stress was (8.69 ± 3.75) MPa, limiting strain was (10. 84 ±6.58)%, energy value was (2.54 ± 1.89)J, modulus of elasticity was (40.77 ± 32. 12)MPa, At the early time of loading, the cancellous bone showed elastic deformation, then CONCLUSION: The trial indicates that biomechanical properties lighten the pressure of external compression.

Objective To study the effect of humic acid (HA) and soil on dissolution performance of depleted uranium (DU).Methods Using the static dissolve-adsorption experiment and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) to determine uranium concentration and 235U/238U isotope ratios of the samples at different time and study the dissolution of DU in water.Results The solubility of DU in water was reduced by 90％ by adding HA.Soil could increase the solubility of DU in water by nearly 25％,adding an appropriate amount of HA could play a supporting role on the dissolution of DU,in this experiment adding 5％ of HA was best.Conclusions Soil and HA could produce positive and negative impact on the solubility of DU in water,and the combined effect of the two relied on the complex absorption and complexation reactions of soil,HA and dissolved uranium ions.

Objective To recognize the existing problems of master of nursing specialist students during clinical practice.Methods Eight master of nursing specialist students from 4 general hospitals in Changchun city were selected as respondents.Data were collected by focus group interview and analyzed by qualitative research method.Results Three formed themes included feeling of great pressure in clinical practice,existing problem in clinical practice teaching and assessment.Conclusions School and hospital need cooperate to carry out a training on competence of nurses,establish a comprehensive supervised clinical practice teaching and a assessment system with nursing features.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of diabetes complicated with peripheral neu- ropathy and increase the cognition of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in clinical work.Methods The clinical data of 160 diabetic patients were analyzed with retrospective analysis.Results 118 diabetic patients had different levels neuroelectrophysiologic abnormality,and the incidence rate was 73.8 %.The cure rate of diabetic peripheral neuropa- thy was 11.0%.Conclusion The incidence of peripheral neuropathy is high in diabetic patients,neuroelec- trophysiologic examination is a sensitive index in diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy,and the therapeutic ef- fect of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is poor.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and management of parapharyngeal space(PPS)neoplasms. Methods Records of 85 patients with PPS neoplasms operated in 11 years were reviewed with regard to presenting signs and symptoms,histological characteristics,imaging technique,surgical approach and postoperative complica- tions.Results Benign rumors were found in 77 cases and malignant tumors were founded in 8 cases.Forty-one tu- mors originated from salivary glands;neurogenic tumors were found in 36 patients and 8 patients with tumors in oth- er organs.All were treated by surgical operation:the trans-eervical approach was used in 76 cases,tans-oral in 6 cases and the combined transoral-cervical approach in 3 cases.The complications after operation were facial nerve palsy(4 cases),hypoglossal nerve paralysis(2 cases)Horner syndrome(2 cases),vocal cord paralysis(2 cases),thyroid gland fistula(1 case),infects(1 case)and difficulty in breathing(1 case).Conclusion Tumors originated from salivary glands were the most common neoplasms in the primary parapharyngeal space neoplasms,and neurogenic tumors fol- lowed.High-resolution computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was essential for diagnosis and presurgi- cal planning.The transcervical approach was the preferred procedure for PPS tumors.
