Objective:To explore the relationship between cognitive deficits and oxidative stress in male patients with heroin dependence (MPHD). Methods: The cognitive function of 140 MPHD and 75 healthy controls were evaluated with Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), Cancellation Test (CT) and Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (M-WCST). The levels of serum nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected in colorimetry. Results:The performances of WMS, CT and M-WCST in MPHD were significantly lower than that in healthy controls (93.7?13.8/102.9?12.3, t=-2.83; 161.6?32.8/194.4?26.5, t=-4.28; 18.8?7.8/25.0?7.5, t=-3.38, P

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of amended concave position in gynecological laparoscopy surgery.Methods: Eighty ASAⅠ~Ⅱ patients with gynecological laparoscopy surgery were randomly divided into two groups, the patients in group A were adopted Trendelenburg position; the patients in group B were adopted amended concave position. The Ppeak and PETCO2 in the two groups were recorded during surgery, the time of extubation and the adverse effects as nausea, vomiting, shivering was recorded after surgery.Results: The Ppeak and PETCO2 of group A were higher than that of group B(t=2.526,t=2.838, t=2.881;P<0.05). The time of extubation of group A were higher than that of group B after surgery(t=2.515,t=2.436;P<0.05).Conclusion: Adopting amended concave position can reduce Ppeak and PETCO2 in gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and it is helpful for postoperative recovery of the patients with gynecological laparoscopy surgery.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Chinese medical (CM) syndrome differentiation based Chinese herbs and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor II-antibody fusion protein (etanercept) for treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.

METHODSTotally 35 AS patients were treated with syndrome differentiation based Chinese herbs and etanercept. Reinforcing Shen and strengthening Du channel, activating meridians to stop pain was principle used in syndrome differentiation based treatment. Etanercept was subcutaneously injected, 25 mg each time; twice per week for the first three months and once a week for the latter three months. The clinical efficacy was evaluated after 3 and 6 months of treatment. Meanwhile, ASAS20 and ASAS50 standards arriving rates were also observed. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), visual analog score (VAS) for spine pain, VAS for night pain, patient global assessment (PGA), VAS for physician global assessment, CM syndrome score, finger-ground distance, thoracic activity, tragus-wall distance, lumbar scoliosis, cervical rotation, Schober improved test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed before treatment, 3 and 6 months after treatment.

RESULTSCompared with before treatment, BASDAI, BASFI, VAS for spine pain, night pain, physician global assessment, PGA, CM syndrome score, finger-ground distance, thoracic activity, tragus-wall distance, lumbar scoliosis, Schober improved test, ESR, and CRP all decreased after 3 and 6 months of treatment, with statistical difference (P < 0.05). Cervical rotation also decreased after 6 months of treatment, with statistical difference (P < 0.05). Compared with 3 months of treatment, total effective rate of CM syndrome, ASAS20 and ASAS50 standards arriving rates increased after 6 months of treatment, with statistical difference (P < 0.05). There were statistical differences in all indices mentioned above between after 3 months of treatment and after 6 months of treatment (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSyndrome differentiation based Chinese herbs combined etanercept could alleviate inflammatory reaction favorably, control the progression of active AS, and improve joint functions.

ABSTRACT:Objective To study the expressions of adrenomedullin (ADM)andβ-catenin in human osteosarcoma of different differentiation grading and their clinical significance.Methods We chose 33 cases of human osteosarcoma with different pathological grading (14 cases of high differentiation grading and 1 9 cases of low grading)and 10 cases of human osteochondroma to detect the expressions of ADM protein,total (T)β-catenin and phosphorylated (P)β-catenin using immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of ADM was detected in the cytoplasm.In osteosarcomas of higher and lower differentiation grading,the positive rate of ADM was 57.1% (8/14)and 100% (1 9/1 9),respectively,with significant differences (P =0.003<0.05).The expression of T-β-catenin was observed in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus in higher differentiation grading and in only cytoplasm in lower grading.In osteosarcomas of higher and lower differentiation grading,the positive rate of T-β-catenin was 85.7%(12/14)and 94.7% (18/1 9),with no significant difference (P =0.561>0.05).The expression of P-β-catenin was detected in the cytoplasm.In osteosarcomas of higher and lower differentiation grading,the positive rate of P-β-catenin was 35.7% (5/14)and 78.9% (1 5/1 9),with a significant difference (P =0.029 <0.05).There was a significant correlation between ADM and P-β-catenin (r =0.424,P =0.025<0.05),but no significant correlation between ADM and T-β-catenin (P = 0.078 > 0.05 )or between T-β-catenin and P-β-catenin (P = 0.052 > 0.05 ).Conclusion The expressions of ADM and P-β-catenin proteins and the different distributions of expression of T-β-catenin protein in cytoplasm and/or nucleus are important indicators for judging the pathological grading of osteo-sarcoma.

Objective To compare the effect of silica-extraction method and Silico membrane based method in DNA purification from bones and teeth.Methods DNA samples were purified respectively with the silica-extraction method and MinElute PCR Purification kit from 6 bones and 8 teeth,then tested STR types by GlobalFiler? kits. And evaluated the two methods with the success rate and the peak height. Results Both of the two purification methods can successfully obtain the STR markers of the 14 samples. And there was no statistical difference between the two methods in the average peak height from bones and teeth. Conclusion The Silico membrane based method which have more advantages in operation is an efficient method to purify DNA from bones and teeth, and there is no significant difference compared with the silica-extraction method. But the cost is higher. It can be selectively used in forensic practice.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of super selective embolization combined with opera-tion for treatment of meningiomas.Methods 82 cases treated by operation and pathology in return for meningioma were collected in the study,including 44 cases of preoperative superselective embolization for aneurysms as the treat-ment group,and the remaining 38 cases without preoperative embolization of patients as the control group.The opera-tion time,bleeding amount in the operation and the rate of total tumor removal were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results The average amount of bleeding of treatment group was (330.36 ±95.41)mL.The average amount of bleeding of control group was (460.82 ±114.64)mL.The data of the two groups was statistically significant (t =5.624,P <0.01).,The treatment group bleeding amount was less than that of the control group;,the mean oper-ation time of treatment group was (5.36 ±2.62)h,,the average operation time of control group was (6.63 ±2.25)h.The data of the two groups was statistically significant (t =2.355,P =0.021 ),the operation time of the treatment group was less than that of the control group.The total resection rate was 70.4% in treatment group and 36.8% in the control group,there was statistically significant (P <0.05),and the total resection rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Compared with single operation treatment of meningiomas superse-lective embolization combined with operation for treatment of meningiomas can shorten operation time,reduce intraoperative hemorrhage,improve the rate of total tumor removal.It can reduce the operation risk and improve the treatment effect.
