Theancientandmodernprocessingmethods,activeingredientresearch,andqualitycomparisonbeforeandafterthe processing of medicinal leech were reviewed in the paper. Combined with the results of anticoagulation test on Whitmania pigra Whit-man, the article drew a conclusion that different varieties of medicinal leech had different active ingredients of anticoagulation, Whitma-nia pigra Whitman had active ingredients of anticoagulation with promising heat stability, and the processing technology should be dealt with according to the clinic use.

Objective To explore the effect of rehabilitation nursing intervention on motor function and activities of daily living of patients with stroke. Methods 140 stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n=70) and rehabilitation group (n=70). The control group received conventional drugs of neurology and nursing, the rehabilitation group received rehabilitation nursing intervention in addition.Before and 5 weeks after treatment, the motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed with Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI). Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05) before treatment. The scores of FMA and MBI were significantly higher in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.001) after treatment. Conclusion Rehabilitation nursing intervention can improve the patient's motor function and ADL recovery.

Nasal polyps is a common disease in clinical, with nasal mucosal inflammatory hyperplasia. However, the molecular mechanism of it is largely unknown. Tumor suppressor genes, proliferation and apoptosis related genes and cytokines play an important role in the formation and pathological development of nasal polyps. The expression level of tumor suppressor related proteins and receptors is not constant, high level of these expression can stimulate nasal mucosal proliferation, while low or lacking expression may facilitate nasal polyps cells apoptosis. Both proliferation and apoptosis make a big difference in nasal polyps formation and development. This article concludes the relationships between new progressions in nasal polyps pathogenesis and tumor suppressor genes and proliferation apoptosis genes, which not only helps practitioners deeply and comprehensively understand nasall polyps pathogenesis but promotes explorations to effective therapeutics.

Objective To assess the effect of intraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustained-release 5-Fluorouracil during operation for advanced rectal cancer. Methods One hundred and four cases with advanced rectal cancer were enrolled into the study and divided into 3 groups: treatment group 1(n = 37), underwent combined hypotonic peritoneal chemo-hyperthermia and Sustain-released 5-fluorouracil implantation treatment during operation; treatment group 2(n = 34), underwent combined intraoperative hypotonic peritoneal chemohyperthermia and early postoperatively intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment; and control group(n = 33),underwent peritoneal lavage during radical resection alone. Results Digestive tract toxicity in group 1 was significantly lower than that in group 2(2. 70% vs. 20. 59%, x2 = 9. 104, P ＜ 0. 05). There were significant difference on 1 year survival rate among the three groups. The 2-year survival rate of group 1 was significantly higher than that in the control group (78. 37% vs. 48. 48%, x2 = 1. 297 ,P ＜ 0. 05). After two years follow-up the 2-year local recurrence rate of group 1 was significantly lower than that in the control group(21.62% vs 32. 35 %, x2 = 7. 001, P ＜ 0. 05). However, no significant difference was found compared to group 2, which was 32. 35%. Conclusion lntraperitoneal interstitial implant of Sustain-released 5-Fluorouracil during operation is an effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mild side effects for advanced rectal cancer.

Objective In order to select appropriate size of embolizing granules and to achieve complete embolization and good therapeutic effect, the diameters of thyroid arteries in Graves disease was measured. Methods Multiple slides of embolized thyroid tissues from superior pole, body and inferior pole of resected thyroid glands were made. After being embeded and stained, diameters of arteries in various parts of thyroid glands were measured with microscope calipers (Olympus). Results Average diameter capillary network of the thyroid body gland adjacent to superior, infreior artery was 0. 12-0. 25 mm, and the smallest one was 0. 04-0. 11 mm. The diameter of isthmus was 0. 130. 15 mm. The average diameter of superior and inferior artery was 2- 5. 5 mm and 3. 0- 3. 75 mm measured by using interventional angiography Conclusion According to the diameters of arteries which were measured, complete embolization and good therapeutic effect can be achieved.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of a procedure for treatment of avulsion fracture of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) using arthroscopic reduction and Orthocord suture.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients who underwent arthroscopic reduction and Orthocord suture fixation for PCL avulsion fracture of the tibial eminence from October 2009 to June 2010 was analyzed retrospectively.Follow-up assessment including Lysholm knee score,and radiographic evaluation.Results All 13 patients achieved follow-up with 10-14 ( 12 ± 2) months.No significant complications were noted,such as swelling,pain or disability of knee.Drawing test was negative.The preoperative Lysholm score in the 13 knees was (72.3 ±2.8) scores,the postoperative Lysholm score was (93.2 ± 1.8) scores,difference was statistically significant (t =15.8,P＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Treating PCL avulsion fracture with arthroscopic fixation by use of Orthocord suture can restore ligament length,stabilize fragments,promote early motion.

Objectives To investigate the prevalance of quinolone resistance in Laribacter hongkongensis and to evaluate the influence of agar dilution and disc diffusion methods on susceptibility testing for the bacterium. Methods Susceptibility to quinolones of L.hongkongensis was tested by agar dilution and disc diffusion methods. The results for both methods were compared. Results L.hongkongensis isolates exhibited different susceptibility rate for quinolones (levofloxacin>ciprofloxacin>norfloxacin>nalidixic acid). All of the fish isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin and more than 90%were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin. However,by agar dilution, only 62.50%, 37.50%,48.21%, 19.64%of the frogs isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, respectively. For fish isolates, comparision of susceptibilities between agar dilution and disc diffusion showed a high (> 95%) percentage agreement for levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin and the highest crepancies were observed with norfloxacin (100%) .But it showed a high discrepancy when comparing the two methods for frogs isolates. Conclusions The resistance rate of L. hongkongens to quinolones was high , especially for frog isolates. The results suggested the use of agar dilution on susceptibility testing for quinolones in L. hongkongensis.
