With the development of modern medicine,to see a doctor is no longer a simple process of diagnosis or taking drugs.Human have deeply recognized medical science and health from a simple biomedical model to a social,psychological and biomedical model.On the one hand,people seek help from medical science.On the other hand,people fear that malpractice could occur.It has been in a love-hate mentality for people to seek medical and legal relief.In the new era,physician-patient relationship needs to be recognized again from medical staff,patients and legal angles.The combination of medicine and law is the requirement of development of the times.No matter how strong the law is,and no matter how much we hope the legislation is from strength to strength,moderation is still the virtues of the law.Medical perspective is still required in the examination of medical activity.

Objective To observe the efficacy of stage treatment with acupuncture plus intermediate frequency for Bell's palsy and its effect on serum NO content. Method By adopting a randomized controlled design, eighty eligible patients with Bell's palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The two groups both received acupuncture treatment in acute stage (within 1 week after the onset); in the remission stage (since 1 week after the onset), electroacupuncture apparatus was added for the control group, and intermediate frequency was given to the treatment group in addition to the intervention for the control group. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grading system and serum NO content were observed before and after the treatment. Result The H-B facial nerve grading was improved after the intervention in both groups; the total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 82.5% in the control group (P<0.05); the serum content of NO was significantly improved after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), while the increase in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In treating Bell's palsy, stage treatment with Acupuncture plus intermediate frequency can effectively restore facial nerve function, significantly enhance clinical efficacy and shorten treatment duration. This disease is closely related to the content of serum NO, and the benign regulation on serum NO content is possibly the mechanism of acupuncture in treating facial paralysis.

Objective To explore the difference of cognitive function and psychosocial function between remitted bipolar disorder(BPD) and remitted schizophrenia.Methods 8 neuropsychological tests (17 items)which evaluate attention,verbal learning and memory,visual memery and executive function were given to 30 remitted BPD,32 remitted schizophrenia and 34 normal controls.The differences of cognitive functions between the three groups were compared using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).Psychosocial functions of remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia were both evaluated by Global Assessment Function (GAF),and the difference of Psychosocial functions between the two groups was also tested by MANOVA.Results1.Remitted schizophrenia showed dysfunction in neuropsychological tests except Stroop C and digit span subtest-forward compared with controis.but Remitted BPD only showed dysfunction in 9 neuropsychological items compared with controls.There was no significantly differences on WCST,digit span subtest-backward,and TMT-B between remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia,the degree of impairment of the two groups was same.But scores from logical memory sub-test and Stroop CW of remitted schizophrenia were significantly lower than that of remitted BPD( ( 8.13 ± 3.35),( 12.11 ±3.72),(6.00 ±3.09),(9.78 ±3.60);(48.61±15.73),(69.33 ±21.04),P＜0.05).There was significant difference on scores of GAF between remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia.Conclusion There are some overlap in cognitive impairment in remitted BPD and remitted schizophrenia,but in remitted schizophrenia the cognitive profile is characterized by generalized and severer pattern of deficits.The psychosocial function of remitted BPD is better than that of remitted schizophrenia.

Objective To explore the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA-CPT) ,and to assess the diagnosis value of the Chinese version of IVA-CPT in two samples of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in clinic and school.Methods 112 participants were divided into 4 groups:clinic group, clinic control group, school group and control group from school.The participants were measured by IVA-CPT and the results were compared.Results ①The integrated quotients of IVA-CPT had concordance with the dimensions of the DSM-ⅣV and ASRS.Each integrated quotients of IVA-CPT and each dimension of the DSM-ⅣV and ASRS were negatively correlated(school: r=-0.277, P＜0.05;clinic: r=-0.423, P＜0.05).The score of HI dimension was negatively correlated with integrated attention quotient and integrated inhibition quotient of IVA-CPT (r=-0.480, P＜0.01;r=-0.452, P＜0.01).② The results of the IVA-CPT and the comprehensive assessment had consistency for diagnosis of children with ADHD from the total subjects,the clinic ,and the school.And there were no difference between the sensitivity, the specificity, the coincidence rate, the missed diagnosis rate and the misdiagnosis rate of IVA-CPT when used to diagnose children with ADHD in clinic and school(x2=3.396, P＞0.05).③The IVA-CPT evaluation system had good stability according to the retest of a random sample of 25 subjects(P＜0.01).The pretest and posttest results of each full quotients of IVA-CPT were significantly correlated (P＜0.01).Conclusion The IVA-CPT not only can be used as auxiliary diagnostic tools to diagnose children with ADHD in clinic,it can be used as auxiliary diagnostic tools to diagnose children with ADHD in the community.

Objective To optimize the parameters of the low-frequency/low-energy ultrasound combined with micro-bubbles in inducing early apoptosis of DU145 cells (an androgen-independent prostatic cancer cells). Methods In our study, the impact of ultrasonic power, micro-bubbles/cell suspension volume rate and irradiation time were investigated. Three levels of each factor were deifned as ultrasonic power (60, 80, 100 mW), micro-bubbles/cell suspension volume rate (10%, 20%, 30%), irradiation time (30, 60, 90 s). According to the three-factor three-level orthogonal design, nine experiments were carried out. The early apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry. A new experiment was designed with the optimized parameters. Another group without ultrasound irradiation was designed as the control group. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to detect the early apoptosis. Results In descending order, the inlfuence of these factors on the cell early apoptosis were:ultrasonic power>micro-bubbles/cell suspension volume rate>irradiation time. Moreover, the inlfuence of each factor level were:80 mW>60 mW>100 mW in ultrasonic power, 20%>30%>10%in micro-bubbles/cell suspension volume rate, 60 s>90 s >30 s in irradiation time. The early apoptosis rate of experiment group was 10.41%, while the control group was 0.94%. TEM showed apoptotic cells in the experiment group. Conclusions The optimized parameter of low-frequency/low-energy ultrasound with micro-bubbles in inducing early apoptosis of DU145 cells are ultrasonic power of 80 mW, micro-bubbles/cell suspension volume rate of 20%, and irradiation time of 60 s. With the optimized parameters, the early apoptosis rate of the experiment group has signiifcant higher than the control group.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles improving transfection of enhanced green lfuorescent protein plasmid (pEGFP) to subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer in nude mice, and to optimize the parameters of intensity. Methods The model of nude mice of subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer were built. Then they were divided into 2 groups including low-frequency ultrasound group and low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group, each group with 15 mice. Then 250μl of mixture of saline and pEGFP (50μg) were co-injected in low-frequency ultrasound group and 250μl of mixture of SonVue and pEGFP (50μg) were co-injected in low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group through tail vein. According to intensity, they were divided into 3 subgroups respectively, including group 1 W/cm2, group 2 W/cm2 and group 3 W/cm2, each group with 5 mice. Ultrasound was applied at 80 kHz input frequency with 50%duty cycle for 10 minutes after pEGFP injection. The tumors were collected on the third day after treatment. The expression of pEGFP in tumor was examined by laser scanning confocal microscope (ISCM) and the average lfuorescence intensity were estimated. At the same time, routine pathological examination was performed. The mean lfuorescence intensity of low frequency ultrasound group and low frequency ultrasound combined with microbubble group were compared with one-way ANOVA and those of any two groups were compared by SNQ-q test. Results TThe mean lfuorescent light in low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group were 23.75±2.54, 30.25±1.67 and 59.60±2.03, which were obviously stronger than those of low-frequency ultrasound treatment group (14.04±1.35, 14.66±0.98 and 14.32±1.20), the difference was statistically signiifcant (the value of q were 18.26, 14.12 and 13.88, P<0.05). The rate of gene transfection increased along with the enhancement of the ultrasound intensity (the value of q were 15.33, 17.81 and 13.79, P<0.05). Histology analyses performed by HE staining showed that there was no damage to the tumor tissues in all groups, tumor tissues were intact and without infection. Conclusions Low-frequency ultrasound combination with microbubbles can significantly enhance pEGFP transfecting into subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer in nude mice. In certain range, improving the ultrasound intensity can increase the rate of gene transfection.

Four weeks after SD diabetic rats were induced by streptozotocin,skin thickness was obviously reduced with obscure multilayer epithelium features.Moreover,the thickness of epidermic layers in diabetic rat skin was significantly thinner than that ofnornlal rat skin at the eighth week[(0.016±0.006 vs 0.041±0.007)mm,P<0.01].The percentage of G2/M phase cells in epidermic layers of diabetic group was significantly lower than that in the normal group.At the twelfth week,skin microangiopathy was easily detected in the diabetic group.The blood levels of advanced glycation end products(AGEs)and malonialdehyde were significantly increased and glutathione decreased in diabetic rats compared with control rats(aU P<0.01),along with the increased contents of local glucose and AGEs in the skin of diabetic rats.These results suggest that the local accumulation of glucose and AGEs seems to be one of the important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of diabetic skin lesions.

Objective To explore the repair method for refractory diabetic wound. Methods A total of 206 patients with refractory diabetic foot ulcers were treated with proper surgical treatments.Results Of all, 106 patients were treated by skin flap (51.5 % ), with one stage wound healing rate of 85.8%; 122 patients were repaired with split-thickness skin graft ( 59.2% ), with survival rate of the graft for 79.5%. Simple toe amputation was made in 34 patients (46 toes). The high level amputation was performed in 56 patients (27.2%). Of all, 132 patients were followed up for 6-18 months, which showed that ulcer recurred in 12 patients (9.1%). Conclusion Timely and effective treatment as well as flap and skin graft repair could reduce high level amputation rate of diabetic foot ulcer and promote the quality of life.

AIM: To explore the histochemical changes o f diabetic skin and the pathogenesis of impaired wound healing in diabetes. METHODS: 54 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing 200-220 g wer e randomized into control and STZ-induced diabetic groups. The shaved skin speci mens from the back of rats were collected in 4, 8 and 12 weeks post STZ-inductio n, respectively. Hematoxylin-eosin dye was used for histological examination. Me a nwhile, the skin glucose contents were measured by Beckman's autoanalyzer. Skin AGEs concentrations were assessed by detecting total fluorescence in tissue coll agen and immunohistochemistry assay. RESULTS: The skin thickness in diabetic animals was decreased, w ith the features of multilayer epithelium structure disappeared in epidermis and collagen fibers atrophied, swollen and degenerated in dermis; The inflammatory responses in the dermis of diabetic animals were increased obviously. The result s also revealed that skin glucose contents in diabetic rats [(2.64?1.03)mg/ g skin] were 2-3 times higher than those in the controls [(0.74?0.33)mg/g s kin] (P

To assess relationships between xanthine oxidase (XOD) and nephropathogenic infectious bronchitis virus (NIBV) infection, 240 growing layers (35 days old) were randomly divided into two groups (infected and control) of 120 chickens each. Each chicken in the control and infected group was intranasally inoculated with 0.2 mL sterile physiological saline and virus, respectively, after which serum antioxidant parameters and renal XOD mRNA expression in growing layers were evaluated at 8, 15 and 22 days post-inoculation (dpi). The results showed that serum glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in the infected group were significantly lower than in the control group at 8 and 15 dpi (p < 0.01), while serum malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher (p < 0.01). The serum uric acid was significantly higher than that of the control group at 15 dpi (p < 0.01). In addition, the kidney mRNA transcript level and serum activity of XOD in the infected group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 8, 15 and 22 dpi (p < 0.05). The results indicated that NIBV infection could cause the increases of renal XOD gene transcription and serum XOD activity, leading to hyperuricemia and reduction of antioxidants in the body.
