OBJECTIVE: To summarize the data about endemic fluorosis, and investigate its prevalence and the effects of prevention and cure, so as to suggest more effective measures for the prevention and cure in the future. DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and VIP Chinese database was undertaken to identify articles about the distribution, monitoring and effects of prevention and cure of endemic fluorosis published in Chinese from January 1995 to March 2006 by using the keywords of "endemic fluorosis, monitor". STUDY SELECTION: Literatures about endemic fluorosis, including mainly brief introduction, practice in prevention and cure, summary of meeting, etc., the repetitive studies were excluded, and only one of them published the latest was involved. DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 25 relevant literatures were collected, and 18 of them were involved, the others were excluded. DATA SYNTHESIS: The monitoring results showed that until the end of the 2004, 44.51％ of the villages, in the drinking water type disease areas with endemic fluorosis, had executed the low-fluorine treatment of water, and 194 villages had been controlled basically; In the coal pollution type disease areas, 24 villages had been controlled basically,25.42％ of the families had reformed the stoves to prevent the coal pollution. The fluorine in water and air had been obviously declined after the improvement, some place had reached the standard of government.The morbidity rate of dental fluorosis in children of 8 to 12 years old was lower than before; The improving condition was good in most disease areas, and part of them had reached the control line; Meanwhile,the problems also existed that the measures of prevention could not befulfilled completely for the short of money, and the role of decreasing fluorine could not be acted completely because of the ill-management after the changed project.CONCLUSION: After the continuous efforts for tens of years, great progress has been obtained in the prevention and cure of endemic fluorosis,and the prevalence rates of dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis have reduced obviously, but many problems also exist at the same time. Therefore,the prevention and cure should be reinforced to restrain its prevalence more effectively.

Objective To analyze functional improvement of spinal cord and the prognosis of two surgical approaches for the stenosis of cervical spinal canal;to investigate the mechanisms concerning post-terior decompression,fusion with ilium graft and internal fixation and 158 cases who underwent dorsal laminectomy from January 2001 to October 2002 were follow-up for at least 24 months and examined with the evaluation systems of Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score,somatosensary evoked essential and initiative range of motion to compare preoperative,short-term and long-term efficacy.Results According to selected standard of improvement rate,therapeutic effect of 56 sufferers among ventral approach group was analyzed,14 cases(25%)excellent,29 cases(51.79%)good,10 cases(17.86%)fair,3 cases(5.36%)poor;postoperative effect of 62 sufferers from dorsal approach group was analyzed,23 cases(37.10%)excellent,31 cases(50%)good,7 cases(11.29%)fair,1 case(1.61%)poor.Concerning JOA evaluation of spinal cord function,initiative range of motion and correlated parameters of SEP,there was significant difference between two decompression approach in postoperative periods.7 cases from anterior approach and 13 patients from posterior approach disturbed by postoperative complications were gradually rehabilitated through conservative of Cervical 5 spinal root',the essence of above-mentioned symptoms may be cervical cord impairment due to decompression process,which would be alleviated by appropriate intervention;2)The efficiency of posterior decompression get the better of anterior decompression in light of fundamentally enlarging available space approach became a little smaller than normal individuals,however,the corresponding parameters after anterior approach lower than the former two groups.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the factors restricting the informationization construction of the medical logistics and to facilitate the informationization construction in China.METHODS:The restricting factors for the logistics'informationization construction and the causes were discussed starting from the trade characteristics of medical logistics by literature reviewing and observation.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The imperfect trade system,the lack of interdisciplinary talents, and the lagged IT technology were the factors restricting the informationization construction of the medical logistics.However, the impacts of these restricting factors can be reduced by developing the third party special pharmaceutical logistics which is helpful for medical logistics'informationization construction.

Osteoclast (OC) are bone resorbing cells whose development and activity are under the influence of osteoblast (OB). The potential association between those two cell lineages is an area of significant interest. It was not until 1998 that osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) was cloned. The two novel TNF superfamily members have been recently demonstrate to be the key extracellular regulators of osteoclasteogenesis and bone resorption both in vivo and in vitro, and they play important roles in osteoporosis development, diagnosis and treatment.

Indolent B-cell lymphomas constitute a slow growing cancer of the lymphatic system. These lymphomas mainly include fol-licular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, Waldenstom macroglobulinemia, marginal zone lym-phoma, and low malignant mantle cell lymphoma. These lymphomas are sensitive to chemotherapy and/or immunochemotherapy, but they cannot be cured. Furthermore, patient age at diagnosis, patient age at time of first onset or subsequent relapses, and compli-cations often influence the chemotherapy curative effect. At present, recent progress has been achieved in our understanding of dys-regulated pathways and immunologic anti-tumor responses in indolent lymphoma. In particular, the breakthrough of non-cytotoxic drugs renderschemo-freetreatment a near-future reality. In this review, we highlight these promising approaches, such as the com-bination of anti-CD20 antibodies with immunomodulatory drugs, mAbs directed against other surface antigens, and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor inhibitor or B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors. Future phase III studies will evaluate the efficacy of these drugs in the context of non-chemotherapy and further clarify treatment status.

0.05).Two cases were lost to follow up,19 out of 21 cases were followed up.The follow-up duration was from 4 to 51 months[mean follow-up duration was(22.84?12.13) months].At last follow-up,10 cases(53%) had complete remission,4 cases(21%) had significant remission,4 cases(21%) had partial remission and 1 case(5%) had no remission.Tubulointerstitial lesions were related with prognosis(P1).Conclusions 1.The predominant clinical manifestation of primary FSGS is nephrotic syndrome in children.The not otherwise specified variant is the commonest pathological variant in primary FSGS.There is no relationship between patholo-gical types and clinical manifestations of FSGS.2.Most of the children with primary FSGS have a good short-term prognosis,but their long-term prognosis must be followed up.3.Tubulointerstitial lesions are risk factors for prognosis.
