Objective To study how polyclonal antibodies against ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) reduce botulinum toxin-in- duced axonal sprouting and affect paralytic muscle.Design Experimental study.Participants 20 New Zealand rabbits.Methods In 10 rabbits randomly selected,left superior rectus were as control (Group 1),right superior rectus were injected with botulinum toxin A (BTXA) 2.5U (Group 3).At 14th day,bilateral superior recti were taken out under general anaesthesia.In the other 10 rabbits,left su- perior recti were injected equivalent physical saline (NS) as control (Group 2);right superior recti were injected with BTXA 2.5U,after 4 days,injected with 50?l polyclonal antibodies against CNTF at same site (Group 4).And at 14th day,bilateral superior recti were taken out for electron microscopy,dyed with acetylcholinesterase,argentums (Ag) to show nerve axonal sprout,and accounted and mea- sured with Leica microsystems.Main Outcome Measures The mean number of sprouts and the mean total length of sprouts,and the uhrastructure change of muscle by electron microscopy.Results In Group 1,the mean number of sprouts and the mean total length of sprouts were 5.75% and 10.53?m respectively;Group 2 were 6.11% and 11.16?m;Group 3 were 84.04% and 170.71?m;and Group 4 were 54.77% and 68.12?m.The differences were statistically significant (all P=0.000).Electron microscopy showed that after admin- istration BTXA alone (Group 3),muscle atrophied obviously,nerve myelin sheath increased,while the structure of nerve and muscle re- main invariable.The Group 4 showed that local myofilament disrupted and dissolved,degenerative myocytes necrotized and disintegrat- ed into fragments,which led to partial unreversible destroy.Conclusion Polyclonal anti-CNTF can reduce BTXA-induced axonal sprout- ing,lead to partial unreversible destroy of muscle,which may prolong the time of paralytic muscle resuming.It suggests that polyclonal anti-CNTF could prolong the duration of muscle paralyses induced by botulinum toxin.

Objective To investigate the effects of liver function and tumor markers by nucleoside analogues Entecavir on patients with liver cirrhosis after hepatitis B.Methods 90 patients with liver cirrhosis after hepatitis B were selected, according to the different drugs were divided into experimental group and control group.Liver function and levels of tumor markers were compared after experiment.Results Two groups of patients with male to female ratio, average age, course of disease, no significant difference in general data of hepatitis B virus DNA content, comparable (P>0.05);Compared with the control group, the experimental group HBV DNA level is low, the negative rate was significantly higher (P<0.05);Compared with the control group, the experimental group ALT, AST and TBiL levels were significantly increased(P<0.05), ChE, AlB were significantly decreased (P<0.05);Compared with the control group, the experimental group CEA, AFP, CA125 and lower CA199 levels (P<0.05).Conclusion Nucleoside drugs can significantly improve liver function in patients with liver cirrhosis after hepatitis Band tumor markers indicators, and it is significance for treatment of liver cirrhosis after hepatitis.

To strengthen the medical students in patient safety education is the first step to effectively prevent medical accidents.But at present patient safety education has not been given enough attention by domestic mnedical colleges.Research group consulted literature at home and abroad related to patient safety courses, according to the Medical colleges patient safety curriculum guide proposed by The World Health Organization (WHO) Alliance for Patient Safety, opened the patient safety course in undergraduate medical education with the goal to improve the medical students to maintain patient safety consciousness, ability and methods and implemented scene simulation teaching and formative assessment.We achieved good teaching effect and appraisal by students.

Objective To set up a novel clinical method for storage of oocytes by slowly freezing and successful pregnancy by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Methods The frozen oocytes (n=33) in metaphase Ⅱ (28),which were normal in morphology,were denuded of their cumulus-corona complex.The protective freezing solution contained 1,2-propanediol (1.5 mol/L) and sucrose (0.35 mol/L) and the process was slow for freezing and rapid for thawing.The recipients of these oocytes received hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Results A high survival rate of oocytes (32/33) was obtained when the sucrose concentration was 0.35 mol/L.ICSI induced a higher fertility rate (23/28),a good embryo cleavage rate (21/23) and a satisfactory embryo morphology for thawed oocytes.Embryo transfers were performed in 6 cycles/6 cases. Four cases got clinical pregnancy by demonstration of four gestation sacs on B ultrasonic examination 7 weeks after ICSI,1 fetal was first trimester spontaneous abortion,another 3 survival fetal were ongoing pregnancy and the first case gestation week is 17 weeks. Conclusions This study is the first successful application of human oocyte cryopreservation in China and this method can increase the survival rate of freezing oocytes.It’s easy to carry out,low in cost and high in the recovery rate of oocytes after thawing.

Objective To investigate the effect of xuebijing injection applied after abdominal operation on the inflammatory reaction,infection rate,length of stay and hepatorenal function. Methods Sixty patients received abdominal operations were randomly divided into therapeutic group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The inflammatory reaction indexes (temperature,heart rate,leucocyte) and hepatorenal function indexes(aminopherase, total bilirubin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) were observed in both groups before operation and after operation 3,7 days respectively. The infection rate and length of stay were compared in two groups. Results Temperature and leucocyte post operative 3 days [temperature:(37.0 ± 0.2) ℃ vs. (37.9 ± 0.4) ℃ ;leucocyte: (8.8 ± 1.1 ) × 109/L vs. ( 10.3 ± 1.7) × 109/L, P＜ 0.05] and length of stay in therapeutic group was obviously better than that in control group[ (8.7 ± 1.9 ) d vs. ( 10.9±1.6) d, P ＜ 0.05 ]. The hepatorenal function indexes and infection rate in both groups had no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Xuebijing injection could significantly palliate the inflammatory reaction after abdominal operation, shorten the length of stay and has no hepatorenal toxicity in short term.
