Objective To review the clinical,histological and diagnostic aspects of 12 documented cases of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver(NRHL),to make this condition be understood and dealt with better. Method Twelve NRHL cases were diagnosed based on liver biopsy from 300 portal hypertension patients who had been underwent splenectomy.Imaging studies were performed as part of the diagnostic evaluation.Clinical manifestation and biochemical tests were recorded at the time of diagnosis.Management and prognosis were also reviewed.Results Most patients were complicated with autoimmune disease,6 cases were diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus and 1 was Crohn's disease and 1 suspected ulcerative colitis.Six cases were treated by prednisone and 3 cases by immunosuppressant.Eleven cases had suffered from portal hypertension.All cases had no history of viral hepatitis.Biochemical tests showed mild increase of liver enzyme and relative normal synthetic liver function.The histological finding was nodular in the hepatic parenehyma,with mild periportal fibrosis,intraportal lymphocytic infiltration,narrow and obstruction of branch of portal vein,and lack of hepatocyte necrosis.All cases were diagnosed liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension before operation.Management was directed to portal hypertension and varices bleeding with satisfactory results.Most of them keep a stable condition during the follow-up. Conclusion The NRHL was uncommon and its cause and pathogenesis was unclear,may be related with immune and hepatic blood circulation disorder.It should be considered in patients with unexplained portal hypertension and distinguished it from liver cirrhosis.Liver biopsy confirms the diagnosis.Management directed to portal hypertension may improve clinical condition.

Objective To explore the results of non-compliance of fluid intake in maintence hemodialysis patients.Methods The qualitative phenomenological research method was adopted in this study.Self-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 maintenance hemodialysis patients.Data were analyzed by content analysis.Result Four themes were extracted including allotrigeusia,have a smattering of fluid intake knowledge,self-condemned and guilty,muddling along.Conclusions Fuild restriction is the most difficuilt prescribed treatment schedule among maintence hemodialysis patients.Nurses should pay attention to those people and provide multilevel,continual,individual and comprehensive measures.

Objective To evaluate the remission situation of early re-induction with priming low dose regimen containing G-CSF in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods Ninety-seven AML patients in our hospital from March 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.All cases adopted the standard DA regimen for conducting the induction chemotherapy,among them,38 cases had significant residual disease on 14 d of induction chemotherapy,21 cases adopted the low dose priming regimen for conducting the early re-induction chemotherapy,17 cases adopted the tandard DA gregimen for conducting the re-induction chemotherapy.The complete remission(CR) rate and and adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results The total CR rate in all 97 cases was 60.8％;among 38 cases needing re-induction chemotherapy,the CR rate in the priming regimen re-induction group was 76.2 ％,which was significantly higher than 41.2 ％ in the DA regimen re-induction group,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.028);the occurrence rates of side effects such as infection and cytopenia during re-induction chemotherapy process had no difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion For AML patients with obvious residual disease on 14 d of induction chemotherapy,adopting low dose priming regimen in re-duction chemotherapy has higher CR,which is superior to the standard DA regimen.

The main pharmacological constituents of Chinese traditional medicine herb Cnidium monnieri are coumarin compounds and volatile oil. In addition, it contains monoterpene polyols, glucides, as well as recently discovered sesquiterpene components. In recent years, rather active investigations of its anti-tumor were performed at home and abroad. C. monnieri possesses multi-aspect and comprehensive anti-tumor functions, involving directly tumor-inhibitory activity, anti-mutagenicity, reversing multi-drug tolerance of tumor, as well as improving immune functions and so on. In this review, chemical constituents, anti-tumor activities and relevant investigations of Fructus Cnidii were summarized recent decade.

OBJECTIVETo observe effect of acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) on serum leptin level in the child of anorexia, so as to reveal relation between changes of blood leptin level and anorexia of child.

METHODSForty-two cases were randomly divided into 3 groups. The treatment group A (n = 15) were treated with acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10), once each week, 3 consecutive sessions constituting one course; the treatment group B (n = 15) were treated with acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10), once two weeks, 3 consecutive sessions constituting one course; the medication group (n = 12) were treated with oral administration of Lactein tablets, 1 - 2 tablets each time, 3 times each day, 4 weeks constituting one course.

RESULTSThe effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group A and 93.3% in the treatment group B, which were higher than that in the medication group, with a very significant differences (P < 0.01); after treatment, the serum leptin levels in the 3 groups had very significant changes (P < 0.01); the improvement of serum leptin levels in the treatment group A and B were better than that in the medication group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) can promote secretion of serum leptin in the child of anorexia, and improve anorexia.

Objective To establish a simple but quick method to improve the high fidelity of the synthesis of DNA frag -ments.Methods High fidelity DNA unidirection synthesis method (HFUS) was presented and used that involved Phusion DNA polymerase, BsrDⅠrestriction enzymes and λexonuclease.Using the same system at different temperatures , HFUS method synthesized one positive single-strand DNA and several reverse single -stranded DNA one by one into the target DNA fragment.Results Two random sequences DNA fragments of 340 bp and 450 bp were synthesized using HFUS meth-od.Conclusion This article explores a new method for the synthesis of genes .Through the harvest of 450 bp DNA, HFUS may promise to be a new approach to the synthesis of DNA .

OBJECTIVETo retrospectively analyses the results of dynamic axial external fixator with modified technique in the treatment of severely Pilon fractures.

METHODSFrom July 2000 to February 2003, 14 patients with severely Pilon fractures were treated with dynamic axial external fixator inserted with modified technique combined with limited open reduction and internal fixation with screws and Kirschner wires, with two distal external pins inserted into talus and calcaneus respectively so that the rotation axis of distal clamp was coincided with that of ankle joint. All patients were young or middle-aged people from 20 y to 52 y (average 38 y). All fractures were Rüedi-Allg were type II or type III. External fixators were removed after bone healing. Duration of follow-up was 5 - 36 m (average 18 m).

RESULTSThe time of bone healing was 12 - 24 weeks (average 14 weeks). At the latest follow-up, results include 5 excellent, 6 good and 3 fair according to ankle scoring system (ASS). There was only one case of superficial pin site infection settled with oral antibiotics and pin site care with mild disinfectants. There was no wound breakdown, superficial and deep infection, osteomyelitis, fracture fragments redisplacement and collapse.

CONCLUSIONDynamic axial external fixator with modified technique combined with limited internal fixation is an effective method for the treatment of severely Pilon fractures.
