Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Alvenor on acute attack of hemorrhoids Methods We have enrolled 1?103 cases with acute attack of hemorrihoids from 29 hospitals in all over the country treated by Alvenor. Dosage was 1?500 mg twice daily for four days followed by 1?000 mg twice daily for 3 days Signs and symptoms of pain, bleeding, prolapse, edema, pruritus were scored at day 0, day 4 and day 7 Global treatment efficacy assessment was conducted by both the doctors and the patients themselves Statistical analysis was conducted Results Pain, bleeding, prolapse, edema, pruritus etc were significantly improved Conclusion Alvenor is effective in the treatment of patients with acute attack of hemorrhoids especially in relief of symptoms such as pain, bleeding, prolapse etc

Objective To study the impact of ultrasound contrast agent with different doses or imaging modes on rabbit spermatogenic cell in the diagnosis of radiation dose.Methods Thirty-three New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups.In group Ⅰ ,three minutes gray scale ultrasound radiation was performed for three rabbits.In group Ⅱ, SonoVue was bolus injected from ear vein for eighteen rabbits.The rabbits in this group were divided into 6 sub-group according to different doses and different sampling times, the single injections of SonoVue with dosage of 0.1 ml/kg(A1, A2) or 1 ml/kg (C1 ,C2) and repeated injections with dosage of 0.1 ml/kg interval 15 min (B1 ,B2) were taken.In group Ⅲ ,twelve rabbits were bolus injected with SonoVue and then the agent bubbles were blasted when the SonoVue suffused the whole testis.The rabbits in this group were divided into 4 sub-groups according to different doses and different sampling times, and the dosages of SonoVue were 0.1 ml/kg(D1, D2) and 1 ml/kg(E1,E2).Testis were drew immediately or 24 hours later for the observation under light microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results Apoptotic cells in group Ⅲ were more than those in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ ( P ＜0.05) ,while no significant difference of the total number of apoptotic cells between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ ( P ＞0.05).The appearances of focal ultra-structural damage were observed by transmission electron microscope in group C1, such as intercellular space widening and mitochondria swelling, and no distinct damage were observed in the other groups.The appearances of intercellular space widening, mitochondria swelling and cellular edema were observed by transmission electron microscope in group Ⅲ, and spotty necrosisetc was also observed in group D1 and E1.Conclusions Large dose of contrast agent could cause germ cells slight instantaneous effects, while conventional dose had no effect.Contrast agent blasting may cause germ cells unrecoverable damage.

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combined with low dose corticosteroid in the treatment of adults with minimal change nephrotic syndrome and concomitant HBsAg positive (MCNS-HBsAg). Methods Thirty adults with MCNS-HBsAg were enrolled in this prospective study and were assigned to two groups. The MMF group (n=14) received low dose of prednisone combined with MMF (MMF 1.0 to 2.0 g/d patients of Pred group versus 35.7% patients of MMF group. 43.8% patients of Pred group versus 21.4% patients of MMF group received lamivudine therapy. Elevation of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) ocurred in 50% patients of Pred group and 28.6% patients of MMF group. The complete remission (CR) rate after 24 weeks treatment was 11/14 in Pred group versus 10/12 in MMF group. 6/11 patients of the Pred group and 4/10 patients of the MMF group who achieved CR experienced relapses during follow-up. Conclusions Use of MMF combined with low dose prednisone is as effective as conventional prednisone regimen in treating adults with MCNS-HBsAg. The MMF protocol seems to be superior in HBV reactivation to conventional prednisone protocol.

The causes of abnormal T waves on electrocardiography are multiple and varied. Careful clinical history taking and physical examination are necessary for accurate identification of the cause of such abnormalities. Subsequent targeted specialised cardiac investigations, such as echocardiography or coronary angiography, may be of importance in the diagnosis of the underlying cardiac pathology. We present two cases of T wave inversions with markedly different aetiologies.
