Objective To analyze palm ratio of body surface area (B SA ) based on the body different surface area form ula. Methods Forty-four Chinese adult m ales w ere selected in this study. The contour of left single palm w as recorded and the palm area w as calculated by cut-paper w eighing m ethod. The body surface w as calculated by the height and w eight based on 12 form ulas of body surface area. Then, the palm ratio of BSA w as calculated. Results The average palm ratio of BSA w as (0.789±0.075)% . The data show ed statistically significant difference com pared with the traditional ratio (1% ) (P<0.05). Conclusion The ratio of B SA in Chinese adult m ale population show ed m ore accuracy com pared with the traditional ratio in this present study. The forensic evaluation can be affected by using the different ratio of B SA .

OBJECTIVE: To analyze palm ratio of body surface area (BSA) based on the body different surface area formula. METHODS: Forty-four Chinese adult males were selected in this study. The contour of left single palm was recorded and the palm area was calculated by cut-paper weighing method. The body surface was calculated by the height and weight based on 12 formulas of body surface area. Then, the palm ratio of BSA was calculated. RESULTS: The average palm ratio of BSA was (0.789 ± 0.075)%. The data showed statistically significant difference compared with the traditional ratio (1%) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The ratio of BSA in Chinese adult male population showed more accuracy compared with the traditional ratio in this present study. The forensic evaluation can be affected by using the different ratio of BSA.

Objective To assess the value of caval-atr ial venovenous bypass technique in resection of tumor thrombus for renal or adr enal carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement. Methods From Mar.to Aug.of 2000,4 patients with renal or adrenal carcinoma extendi ng into inferior vena cava were admitted and evaluated.Radical nephrectomy and v ena cava thrombectomy were performed with the use of caval-atrial venovenous by pass technique. Results There was no significant change of hemodynamic parameters during vena cava thrombectomy.A part of tumor thrombu s in 1 case was left in situ because of its compact adhesion to the wall of infe rior vena cava.The tumor thrombus in inferior vena cava were completely removed in the other 3. Conclusions Caval-atrial venovenous byp ass technique is a simple and safe method during vena cava thrombectomy.

Objective To establish a model of chronic aristolochic acid nephropathy (CAAN) in rats and to investigate the pathogenesis of its renal interstitial fibrosis.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups. One group received extract of Aristolochia manshuriensis Kom by gavage intermittently as model group. Another group received only tap water by gavage as controls. Six rats in each group were sacrificed at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th week respectively and the kidneys of each rat were separately harvested. The mRNA and protein expression of type I collagen (Col I ), transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) was detected by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining respectively. Results The mRNA expression of Col I, TGF-?1, CTGF, PAI-1 and TIMP-1 in kidney tissue of the rats in model group was significantly upregulated compared to that in controls at the end of 4th week (9.31-, 5.16-, 1.79-, 8.66- and 2.54-fold, respectively) (P

Objective To study the clinical diagnosis and treatment of malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Methods To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 28 cases with malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors underweat surgical treatment . Results The malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor in adults were more than 50 years old,71.4%(20/28) ,and common clinical symptoms were gastrointestinal bleeding,anemia,and pain. The lesion site: 19 cases of gastric bowel, 8 cases of small intestine, 1 case of colon, radical excision in 22 cases, local excision palliative resection in 5 cases, three cases were multi-visceral resection. Conclusion Malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor could be diagnosed by the means of endoscopic imaging and clear,and preoperative diagnosis was difficult. Surgical resection was the pathology diagnosis and treatment of primary method,if necessary,to ensure multi-visceral resection of the tumor to prevent recurrence of thoroughness, had important significance.
