Objective To investigate the changes of hemodynamic parameters of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) during peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods Thirty uremic patients with PD (PD group), 30 uremic patients without PD (non-PD group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled. All cases underwent Doppler ultrasonography and the hemodynamic parameters were obtained.Results The peak systolic velocity (PSV) and diameter (D) were not statistical different among three groups (P>0.05). The resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) decreased in PD group compared with the other two groups (P>0.05), but no difference was found between non-PD group and control group (P>0.05). The end-diastolic velocity (EDV), time-averaged velocity (TAVM) and blood flow (Q) were higher in PD group than those in non-PD group and control group (P<0.05). No difference of EDV, TAVM and Q was found between the control group and non-PD group (P>0.05). PI and RI were negatively correlated with PD time (r=-0.91,P<0.05;r=-0.66,P<0.05).Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound can non-invasively evaluate PD through hemodynamic changes of SMA.

Objective To investigate the change of P300 of the attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder children before and after they took litalin, according to this objective subject to guide the clinical treatment of ADHD children. Methods Using the looking se-ducible electricity stimulates 22 ADHD children, and check the change of latency and the rate of the wave before and after they took litalin. Results After ADHD children took litalin, their latency of P300 has decreased clearly, and the amplitude had no change. Conclusion The changes of P300 latency in ADHD children after they took litalin can be adopted as the guidelines of clinical treatment for the ADHD children.

Satisfactory communication skill is the essential requirement for medical students to become future qualified medical doctors.Clinical clerkship is the key process to absorb medical knowledge and professional skill,cultivate the ability to solve practical problems in medical practice,and develop medical students into qualified doctors by guiding them to reasonably handle physician-patient relationship,better solve medical disputes,and gradually improve their legal awareness.Therefore,medical students should strengthen to cultivate their communication ability,and set up reasonable sense of physician-patient communication.

In recent years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer shows rising trend and higher mortality. Pancreatic cancer lacks early diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and specificity, and the surgical resection rate is 10 %-20 % with high operation mortality, poor long-term curative effect and less than 5 %survival rate within 5 years. At present, researchers indicate that radiotherapy can improve the quality of life, increase tumor local control rate and prolong the overall survival time of patients with pancreatic cancer in different levels. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), as a functional imaging technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is the only way to react cell levels. This paper will summarize the application of DWI in radiotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

Keratorefractive surgery changes the central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal curvature, which could influence the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and non-contact tonometer (NCT) measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP), but not dynamic contour tonometer(DCT). During the procedure of LASIK, there is a transient rise of IOP, which increases the risks of optic nerve damage. Meanwhile, the presence of functioning filtering blebs may affect the choice and outcome of refractive surgery, or even becomes a contraindication of surgery. Steroids are typically used after keratorefractive surgery, which could lead to IOP elevation. Hence it is important to monitor IOP after LASIK and to be aware of inaccurate IOP readings due to corneal flap interface fluid. Treating patients with postoperative elevated IOP after keratorefractive surgery is similar to that for patients with glaucoma. This review will address the issues surrounding the safety, relevant complications and implications of keratorefractive surgeries on glaucoma and relevant diagnostic tests.

Nowadays, modern information technology is rapidly developing; traditional novelty assessment service could not satisfy users' demands. The paper introduces an online application and management information system for medical research novelty assessment innovated of Zhuhai Health Information Center, including its background of exploration, system functions and application effects. Using this system to provide service for users could not only promote the efficiency and convenience but also provide new space of development for novelty assessment work.

Objective To investigate differentially expressed genes in the liver of rats with idio-pathic hyperoxaluria by cDNA microarray. Methods Three male rats with idiopathic hyperoxaluria were set as study group, 3 normal ones as control. Total RNA was isolated by one-step protocol from the liver of rats in the 2 groups and mRNA was purified, reversely transcribed, labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 and hybridized to gene chip containing 26 962 target genes of rat. The differences in gene expres-sion profile between the 2 groups were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. Results Comparative a-nalysis revealed that the expression of 123 genes was up-regulated and 24 genes was down-regulated by two-fold in the liver. These genes were associated with cell receptor, immune, cell signal transduc-tion, amino acid metabolism, protein translation, cell proliferation and others. Conclusion cDNA microarray could be used effectively to screen differentially expressed genes in the liver of rats with idi-opathic hyperoxaluria in which many different kinds of genes were involved.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Biqi Capsule in treating knee osteoarthritis through randomized controlled trial, and investigate its effect on radiography. Methods: One hundred eligible patients were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive Biqi Capsule (intervention group) and Calcitriol Capsule (control group). The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) and VAS for pain were assessed at week 12 and 24. MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) was assessed at week 24. The safety index and adverse event were also tested before and after the trial. Results: A total of 100 participants were enrolled in this trial, of which 16 patients were lost to follow-up, and 84 patients were included into analysis for per-protocol set. The intervention group could better improve the WOMAC than the control group after 24-week treatment (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups after the week 24 on MOAKS (P > 0.05). However, in the sub-group analysis, the intervention group had an improvement on the MOAKS score in the patients who did not take the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups for the adverse effects (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Biqi Capsule had a better treatment effects on the improvement of joint stiffness and function of patients with knee osteoarthritis. It also had a better effect in the patients who did not take NSAIDs on the radiographic evaluation.
