Clinical manifestations induded 12 cases of hematuria,4 dases of hematospermia,1 case of fever, 2 cases of pollakisuria and urodymia,2 cases of uroschesis,which disappeared after corresponding treatment.Conclusions　Biopsies of the prostate guided by transrectal ultrasound is advantageous in diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma.

Objective To explore the sub-health and TCM physical constitution of stroke patients’families.Method Four hundred and twelve family members of stroke patients hospitalized during September 2001 to May 2013 were involved in the survey by filling out TCM physical constitution scale(TCMPC)and the sub-health self-rating scale(SSS)for the purpose of investigating the sub-health and conditions of TCM physical constitution.Results Of all the patients,189 were in sub-health,accounting for 45.87%. There were 7 main clinical symptoms related to sub-health,including poor sleep,less activeness,proneness to upsets and irritation, memory loss,depression,tension in interpersonal relations and appetite loss,with the incidences ranging from 64.55%to 48.15%. In TCM,51.85%of the family members were balanced in physical constitution,10.58%of them had Yang-deficiency constitution, 14.29%of them had Yin-deficiency,23.28%of them other kind of constitution.Conclusions The family members of stroke patients have a high rate of sub-health.The members in sub-health hold a balanced constitution,Yang-deficiency or Yin deficiency.In order to eliminate their sub-health,improving the quality of care for patients with stroke,we should guide the families of stroke patients to develop good living habits,strengthen the TCM mental nursing,help them to establish a good social support system.

The toxic effects of immunosuppressants are often dangerous factors which influence long-term survival of recipients.Individualized immunosuppressive therapy has been a hotspot and difficulty for comprehensive treatment of liver transplantation.Immunosuppressive therapy has been gradually developed to pursue long-term survival for receipients and graft,minimized side effects of immunosuppressants,optimized quality of life of patients,and reduce the economic burden of patients.Through consideration of patient's pathophysiological state,understanding the characteristics and side effects of various immunosuppressive,appropriate choose of the immune inhibitor,correct evaluation of immune state of recipients and graft,minimization of drug doses,individualized dosing regimen could be successfully carried out.

Objective To study the clinical features of patients with intracranial ependymal tumour, and explore the prognostic factors which have.a significant association with the outcome. Methods Eighty-three patients with histologically proven ependymal tumour were retrospectively reviewed. The tumour location, the patients' age, the histological features, imaging characteristics, surgical management and adjuvant therapy were studied. Results In 83 cases of intracranial ependymal tumour,41 cases were infratentorial and 42 cases were supratentorial ependymal tumour, 37 patients age ≤15 years, while 46patients age ＞ 15 years. Fifty-eight patients ( 69.9% ) and 25 patients (30.1% ) had low (WHO Ⅰ - Ⅱ ) and high-grade (WHOⅢ) tumors respectively. Sixty-reven (80.7%) patients had gross total resection and 16patients ( 19.3% ) had subtotal resection. The 5-year survival rate was 81.9%( 68/83 ). The factors that were found to have a statistical significance association with the outcome were the extent of the resection and the pathologic characteristics. Conclusions Gross total resection of these tumors results in a good long-term outcome. Reoperation should be considered, if feasible, to remove residual malignant tissue. Anaplastic ependymomas carries a much poorer prognosis. Radiotherapy may play an important role in their treatment.The role of chemotherapy appears limited but can be attempted, especially in the very young, in order to avoid the deleterious effect of radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the significance of clinical nursing pathway in perioperative period of children with hypospadia.Methods 63 cases of hypospadia children patients were randomly divided into the control group (30 cases)and the experimental group (33 cases).The traditional nursing method was used in the control group,while the clinical nursing pathway was used in the experimental group.Results The hospital stay,hospital charges and complications of the experimental group were less than the control group.The satisfaction degree of the experimental group was higher than the control group.There was significant difference.Conclusions Clinical nursing pathway is a safe and effective nursing model.It can shorten hospital stay,reduce hospital charges,decrease complications,and improve patients' satisfaction degree.

With the development of genetics, more and more research has been focused on modal organisms because of the conservative nature of biological species. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most important model organisms widely used all over the world. Recently, works published in this journal from Tsinghua University revealed a role of YMR166C in mitochondrial magnesium homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae with transposon-based genetic screen. A genome-wide screening in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for suppressor genes of MTM1 also yielded some very interesting results. Those wonderful works indicated a new era in genetic studies in China.

OBJECTIVE: To put forward proposals for improving essential medicines system in China.METHODS: The problems existing in the essential medicine system in China and the successful experience of some other countries were analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSION: Considering the current medical economy level and the capacity on research & development(R&D) of drugs,China should draw inspiration from WHO and other developed countries about their successful experiences on essential drugs to improve the screening methods for essential medicines list,assign legal status for essential medicines and build up system of production,procurement and distribution of essential medicines according to the basic national situation of our country and finally establish the essential medicine system suitable to our country's condition.

Objective To review the blood gas analysis of H7N9 flu patients for better understanding the characteristics and prognosis of the emerging disease.Methods A retrospective review was conducted for the 15 H7N9 influenza patients,whose blood gas profile was tested with a Radiometer 80 Blood Gas Analyzerin our hospital.The profile of blood gas analysis was compared between the 12 surviving patients and the 3 deaths in terms of their outcomes.Results The 3 patients who died of H7N9 influenza averaged 83 years old.The partial pressure of oxygen was <8 kPa in 9 of the 12 surviving patients,which meet the diagnostic criteria of type I respiratory failure.Their partial pressure of oxygen all recovered to normal (11 .033 ± 2.335 kPa,reference range 10-14 kPa)on discharge.The pH value of peripheral arterial bloold averaged 7.335 (range 7.39-7.54)on adission for the 3 patients who died of H7N9 influenza.The worst average pH value was 7.233 (range 7.32-7.35), which was significantly different from the values of the surviving patients.Conclusions Elderly patients are susceptible to H7N9 influenza infection and subsequent respiratory failure.Old age was associated with higher mortality.The partial pressure of ox-ygen is not significantly associated with patient outcomes.Appropriate active treatment may recover the blood gas profile to normal regardless of the initial values.If decreasing peripheral arterial bloold pH value is highly suggestive of poor prognosis, comprehensive measures should be taken to keep acid-base balance,including assisted ventilation to correct hypoxemia.

lymphocyte,and especially the small lymphocytes were moreheavily labeled than the larger ones,and the Con A receptor of NK cell exhibitedpolarization along the cell surface.These results suggest that:1.the extent of ConA receptors was related to the functional activities of the ceils,the more active thecell is,the more the Con A receptors will be;2.the receptors of Con A wereprobably related to the cell recognition,for instance,on the NK cell Con A rece-ptors showed polar distribution;3.the number of receptors of Con A was dependenton the cell differentiation,the more mature the cell is,the more the Con Areceptors are.
