Objective To explore whether health examination save medical insurance fund or not. Methods To observe the sparing medical cost which 371 health examination people avoid repeated checking and shorten the length of stay during hospitalization from March 2006 to March 2007. To observe the effect of sparing medical cost because of regular health examination, early discovery diseases, pretreatment promptly and avoidance transforming to advanced diseases. Results Because of avoiding repeated checking and shortening the length of stay,everybody save the medical cost about 570 yuan,371 people can save about 21 ten thousands yuan. To statistics the average hospital cost of different courses of eight common diseases and malignant tumors from January to November at 2007, we discovered that the medical cost is large distinction between the earlier period and advanced stage of disease. For example: the medical cost of one stage of hypertension is 6608 yuan ,the two stage is 8838 yuan ,the three stage is 13 869 yuan, and the stage of hypertensive heart disease is 13 033 yuan. Parts of health examination crowd who stay at my hospital from 1996 were visited for five years ,we conformed many chronic diseases by prompt intervention can relieve and even reverse, avoiding the transformation to incurable disease which will consume a large number of strength and money. Conclusion Health examination resource is a medical treatment resource which isn't restricted by social security fund, the utilization can not only save medical cost but also discover and treat diseases earlier, thus we can save the strength and money before the advanced diseases.

Objective To explore the effect of nBiPAP on ET-1 of patients with overlap syndrome.Methods Levels of ET-1 in plasma of 25 cases of OS,20 cases of COPD were analysed by radioimmunoassay,and ET-1 in OS was measured before and after treatment.The relationship between ET-1 with SaO_2 during sleep was analyzed. Results (1)The ET-1 levels in plasma of OS group were significantly higher than those of COPD group before treatment(P

A possible ?-Galactosidase gene(pwtsA) was discovered from soil metagenomic DNA of Taishan Mountain.PwtsA gene was inserted into the expression vector pET30a and transferred into E.coli BL21(DE3).Recombinant protein PWTSA was expressed as a soluble form at high level through IPTG induction,with a molecular mass of 57 kD analyzed by SDS-PAGE.PWTSA can produce o-nitrophenol from o-nitrophenol-?-D-galactopyranoside(ONPG),and its specific activity was determined as 13.6 U/mg.The enzymatic studies demonstrated that the recombinant protein PWTSA was a thermostable ?-Galactosidase,its optimum temperature and pH were 85?C～95?C and 6.5 respectively.In standard assays,the Km for ONPG was 0.83 mmol/L.

BACKGROUND:The incidence of complications folowing conventional repairing for the ruptured tendon is up to 73%, such as delayed healing, adhesion, secondary rupture. These complications severely affect ankle joint function of the patients. OBJECTIVE:To reduce the complications folowing the repair and investigate the role of hernia repair materials in the repairing of ruptured Achiles tendon. METHODS:Eleven patients who underwent repair of ruptured Achiles tendon were retrospectively studied. Among them there were eight males and three females with the mean age of 42 years (26-58 years). Three cases were injured in left side and eight cases were in right side; four cases were open injury by sickle-induced damage and seven cases were closed injury by exercise-induced damage. The hernia repair materials after pruning was applied with a “wrap” method to strengthen the anastomosis repair of Achiles tendon after the conventional repair surgery had been completed. At the time of folow-up, al patients were observed for postoperative local appearance and function recovery, and assessed with Arner Lindholm standards. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The folow-up interval was 6-45 months (average 24.5 months). Two cases were lost to folow-up. According to the Arner Lindholm standards, the effects were excelent in seven cases (78%) and good in two cases (22%). Local appearance and function recovered wel postoperatively, and no complications occurred such as wound infection, secondary rupture and so on. A “wrap” method with hernia repair materials is suggested to strengthen the anastomosis repair of ruptured Achiles tendon after the conventional repair surgery is completed, it can significantly promote the healing of Achiles tendon ruptured end anastomosis, prevent Achiles tendon recurrent ruptures, local adhesion and infection.

Objective To study the function of the nano-molecular polyamide-amine (PAMAM) as microRNA(miR) carrier targeting gastric adenocarcinoma, and the foundation of developing an efficient delivery of small molecule drugs tar-geting gastric cancer thereof. Methods The folic acid (FA)/PAMAM comoles compound was prepared by dialysis method. After transfection of miR-7 or liposomes into SGC-7901 cell line, fluorescence microscope was used to detect the gene trans-fect efficiency. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the miR-7 level. The immu-nocytochemistry assay was used to test the protein expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), protein kinase B (PKB) and proliferating cell nuclearantigen (PCNA). The transwell system was utilized to explore the migration ability of tu-mor cells. Results Compared with liposme, FA/PAMAN complex compound can significantly improve the level of miR-7 in SGC-7901 cells,reduce the protein levels of EGFR, PKB and PCNA in SGC-7901 cells, and also reduce the percentage of cancer cell migration (P<0.05). Conclusion PAMAM can effectively transfect miR into gastric cancer cells, which is expected to become an efficient delivery of small molecule drugs.

Objective To evaluate the effects of nasal non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma(N-NHL) treated with chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy alone, chemotherapy plus radiotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(APBSCT) combined with total body irradiation(TBI);and to analyze the impact factors of prognosis. Methods 135 patients were treated between 1980 and 2000. All were confirmed by histopathology as N-NHL, including 122 T cell in origin, 12 B cell and 1 NK cell in origin. The main radiotherapy portal was set in front of the nose with a spade-like protrusion, supplement with a portal next to the ear on one side or both sides. Combined portal in facial cervical area was first used when there was invasion of the oropharynx. The median dose to the nasal cavity was 56.0Gy with a range of 35.2 to 75.5Gy, with added 30Gy to the primary lesion in two patients. Six patients received TBI combined with APBSCT, with 8Gy in the TBI group. Chemotherapy, given before or during after radiotherapy or alone, consisted of 2-6 cycles of COP, COPP, COMP, CHOP or COBDP. Prognostic factors were analyzed with Cox model. Results The local control rate was 12%,69%,76% and 83% in chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy alone, chemotherapy plus radiotherapy and APBSCT combined with TBI, respectively(P=0.057).The 5-year survival rate was 9%,52%,63% and 83%,respectively(P=0.032). Multi-factor analysis showed that tumor extension and treatment methods were the most important prognostic factors besides Ann-Arbor stage, but gender, pathology, age and symptoms had little effect on prognosis .Conclusions Chemotherapy plus radiotherapy group achieves a better survival rate than radiotherapy alone. It is helpful to evaluate prognosis to make more detail subareas on basis of local extensions in Ann Arbor staging system.For some N-NHL patients with good financial condition, APBSCT combined with TBI is a good choice.
