Objective To Investigate the disorder of colonic epithelium apoptosis and proliferation as well as its role of the epithelial barrier break down in ulcerative colitis(UC). Methods Fifty biopsy specimens were obtained endoscopically from 35 patients of UC and 15 controls respectively.The specimens were used for diagnosis of UC and investigation of epithelium proliferation an d apoptosis by IHC with markers of ki－ 67 and M30 respectively. Results Apopto sis index(marked by M30) and ratio of apoptosis to proliferation increased obvio usly in UC compared with the controls(P0.05);Disorder of epithelium apoptosis an d proliferation take place in UC.Apoptosis cells were found not only at luminal surface but also at the base of crypt;however,proliferation cells may extend to superior part of the crypt. Conclusion Unlimited and premature apoptosis as wel l as disorder of apoptosis to proliferation is maybe one of the causes which lea ding to breakdown of the epithelial barrier function i n UC.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectively of transfusion plan guided by POTTS in gynecological patients with Hb level ranged from 60 to 100 g/L. Methods 114 gynecological patients with perioperative Hb level ranged from 60 to 100 g/L were randomly divided into POTTS group ( n=57 ) and control group ( n=57 ) . Patients in POTTS group received transfusion under the guidance of POTTS. Patients in control group received transfusion according to doctor's experience. The proportion of injecting RBCs,the amount of RBCs, the incidence of serious complications and mortality,ICU occupancy rate, postoperative Hb recovery, incision healing, hospitalization time, blood transfusion related costs and costs of hospitalization were observed and compared. Results The transfusion rate and volume in POTTS group were significantly lower than the control group ( P<0. 01 ) . Neither severe com-plications nor any mortality were found in each group. The transfusion costs in POTTS group were significantly less than the control group (P<0. 01). Two groups had no postoperative ICU admission;the postoperative Hb recovery, incision healing, hospitalization time and costs of hospitalization in two groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion POTTS could be safety and effectively used in gynecological patients with Hb level ranged from 60 to 100 g/L, also effectively save the blood, reduce the costs of blood transfusion, not increase perioperative mortality and the incidence of various complications.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of reconstruction in improving trachea esophagus vocalization after total laryngectomy.Method We reviewed the reconstruction of vocalization with trachea esophagus tunnel in 12 cases patients of total laryngectomy,i.e. a triangular mucous valve was made by incision of the posterior wall of the trachea with the correlative anterior wall of the esophagus made into a tunnel and the mucous valve would vocalize.Result 11 of the 12 cases obtained successful vocalization,counting for 91% of the total. Atresia of the vocalizing valve occurred in one case.Conclusion Trachea esophagus tunnel vocalization reconstruction has better therapeutic effect with good vocalization effect and fewer complications and easily performed.It avoided the shortcomings of necrosis and atresia of the vocalization valve and pharyngeal fistula formation,and the complexity of exchange of artificial vocalization tube again and again.

AimTo study the effect of extracts of ginkgo biloba leaves(GbE) on apoptosis in neuronal cells. Methods Primary cerebral cultures from rat fetus were used to observe the activity of neuronal cells and to determine the release of LDH and DNA gel electrophoresis. Results Gb E enhanced the activity of neuronal cells, decresed the release of LDH,and relieved the structural changes of nucleus and DNA fragmentation. Conclusion GbE can inhibit apoptosis in neuronal cells.

Objective To study Barrett's esophageal consistency with its histological findings,which were found with magnifying chromoendo6copy,and to advance the endoscopic diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus. Methods The patients with BE were diagnosed by endoscopy and histology, and their histological findings and endoscopic appearances of a total of 67 patients with BE were observed. Results Endoscopic appearances type of BE showed island (28 cases) ,tongue(7 cases) ,and circum ference(32 cases). Three types of BE under magnifying chromoendoscopy,and in magnifying endoscope group,type Ⅲ which were found with magnifying endoscope were verified intestinalisation epithelium pat ho-type, compared with type I and type Ⅱ,the discrepancy of them had statistical significance(P＜0.01). Conclusion Magnifying chromoendoscopy had a relatively better consistency in the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus with histological findings.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of combination therapy on ankylosing spondylitis. Methods: 160 Cases were divided into treatment group and control group randomly. The patients of treatment group were given Bushenqingdu Decoction and Hanbiwaiyongfang by external use. The patients of control group were given Wangbi Granule. The symptoms and signs were observed before and after treatment in both groups. Results: There was significant difference between treatment group and control group in total effective rate as well as morning stiffness and signs (P

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of Chinese medicine Sansheng Huatan Decoction combined with chemotherapy in treating advanced primary non-small-cell lung cancer and to evaluated the effect of Sansheng Huatan Decoction increasing clinical effect and decreasing toxicity in chemotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer. METHODS: One hundred and sixty patients of advanced primary non-small-cell lung cancer proved by pathological examination were randomized into two groups. The treatment group was treated with Sansheng Huatan Decoction and chemotherapy, and the control group was treated only with chemotherapy. The clinic effect, life quality, natural killer (NK) activities, liver and kidney functions, and blood routine test of the 2 groups were evaluated. RESULTS: The clinical effective rates of the treatment and control groups were 56.7% and 48.2% respectively, and there was no statistic significance (P>0.10). The life quality, NK activities and blood routine test of the treatment group were better than those of the control group. CONCLUSION: Sansheng Huatan Decoction combined with chemotherapy is a better treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer as compared with chemotherapy.

AIM and METHODS:To investigate the effect of L-arginine -nitric oxide pathway on patients with essential hypertension via hemodynamics and neuroendocrinology. 24 essential hypertension patients were randomly divided into two groups, group I was given L-Arg, and groups Ⅱ was given normal saline as control. Blood pressure, heart rate, heart funtion, nitric oxide, angiotensinⅡ, endothelin, thromboxane A 2 and prostacyline were measure in all patients. RESULTS: In group Ⅰ arterial pressure decreased, heart rate increased, cardial output, systolic volume and eject fraction increased, total peripheral resistance decreased. NO and PGI 2 levels were inceased. But at 80 min , with NO concentration decreased, SBP,DBP were increased, TPR, FT and AngⅡ were also increased. While HR, CO, SV and EF were decreased. However TXA 2 and PGI 2 showed not much change. CONCLUSION: Exogenous L-arginine produced a vasodilatory effect by increasing NO production ,caused the change of other hemodynamic function . It also indirectly changed plasma ET, AngⅡlevels by negative feed-back and suppressed the accumulation of platelet.
