Recently,wide application of MRI in clinic accelerates researches into the etiology,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of bone bruises.MRI manifestations of bone bruises include trabecular microfracture associated with hemorrhage,oedema of subchondral bone because of direct or indirect traumatic force and focal abnormalities in subchondral bone of the knee.This condition is also known as occult injury of the knee,because it is likely to be overlooked or misdiagnosed in hospital due to its diagnostic difficulty by plain radiographs and CT.If timely intervention is not given,it will be accompanied by chronic pain which seriously affects the daily life of the patients,even resulting in early degeneration.This article discusses the current research on bone bruises of the knee.

Objective To explore the influence of the intimacy and adaptability to the other fa- mily members on the postpartum recovery of parturients. Methods One hundred and twenty-two pregnant women were randomly selected among all the admissions from March to August of 2004 in the hospital. FACESⅡ-CV and (EPDS) were applied in this study. Results Postpartum depression and postpartum recovery were significantly correlated with the degree of intimacy and adaptability between the mother and other family members. Conclusions A higher degree of intimacy and adaptability in the family is helpful in postpartum recovery, breast-feeding and alleviating symptoms of postpartum depression.

The Qirongrunchang Mixture(QRRCM)is a prescription composed of Radix Astragali,Fructus Cannabis,etc.It is effective for habitual constipa- tion and constipation in the aged and the debilitated,It was shown in this study that oral administration of this mixture could accelerate the intestinal movement in mice with yang-deficiency in a dose-dependent manner,and exerted a cathartic effect on mice with eonstipation.It increased the volume of intestinal content in rabbits,but did not influence the absorption of water in the intestines.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of acute lung injury in rats suffering hemorrhagic shock at plateau.Methods Seventy-two male Wistar rats, weighing 280-320 g, were randomized into 6 groups (n=12): sham group (group Sham), hemorrhagic shock for 15 min (group HS15), hemorrhagic shock for 30 min group (group HS30), hemorrhagic shock for 45 min group (group HS45), hemorrhagic shock for 60 min group (group HS60) and 90 min group (group HS90).Hemorrhagic shock model of Wistar rats was reproduced at plateau.The rats were only anesthetized, no shock and were sacrificed after 90 min in group Sham.The other groups were different in bleeding time and then were respectively sacrificed at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min after shock.The pathological changes in the lungs were observed with light microscope.Wet to dry weight ratio (W/D), lung permeability index (LPI), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in lung were measured.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the TNF-α and IL-10 in lung tissue, the expression and distribution of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in lung tissue was verified by immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with group Sham, shock causes acute lung injury at different degree, and was positively correlated with the duration of shock, during the period of 15 to 30 min, it merely rendered a slight change in lung W/D, LPI, MPO, MDA, TNF-α, T-SOD and IL-10.Subsequently, along with time prolonged, lung W/D, neutrophils in BALF, LPI, MPO, MDA, TNF-α were significantly elevated, while T-SOD and IL-10 were notably reduced (P<0.05).Immunohistochemical results showed that claudin-3 and claudin-4 expression in lung epithelial cells and endothelial cells expressed at low levels and dislocated (P<0.05).Conclusion After a short time compensatory lesions, the change of rats' hemodynamic stability suffering severe hemorrhagic shock showed a spiral downward.Along with the extension of the shock, hemorrhagic shock at plateau results into the disturbance of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, the loss of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in lung epithelial cells, which triggers the acute lung injury.

Medical science have two sides in its nature. It is not only a subject of science, but also a social science. Medical science need social science to nourish it. At present, unsuitable language is the main cause which lead to medical tangles. The medical workers' attitude towards patients is the key factor during the solving course. Most of the medical tangles do not lead to accusing in the beginning. Both patients and the hospital wish to solve the tangle by intercession or compromise instead of law ways. Appropriate language could avoid non-malpractice tangles. It also play an important role in solving the medical tangles.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation ( rTMS) on postsynaptic density 95 ( PSD- 95) in the hippocampus of rats after cerebral ischemia. Methods Sixty healthy male Wistar rats were divided into normal, model, EA, rTMS and EA + rTMS groups randomly, and the rats in each group were further divided into 7 d, 14 d and 28 d subgroups. A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion ( MCAO) was established, followed by EA, rTMS or EA + rTMS treat-ment. The expression of PSD-95 in the dentate gyros and area CA3 of the hippocampus of the ischemic cerebral hemisphere were investigated. Results The expression of PSD-95 in the dentate gyrus and area CA3 of the ische-mic cerebral hemisphere had decreased 7 d after cerebral ischemia. The expression of PSD-95 in the three treat-ment groups increased after 14 d of treatment and was significantly greater compared with the model group after 28 d of treatment. The EA + rTMS group was especially superior to the EA and rTMS groups in terms of the expression of PSD-95 in area CA3 by the 28th day. Conclusions EA + rTMS can significantly increase the expression of PSD-95 in the hippocampus after cerebral ischemia. This may help explain how EA + rTMS improves learning and mem-ory after cerebral ischemia.

Objective: To investigate the influence of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with repetitive transeranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) on the temporal profile of nestin expression after induction of focal cerebral isehemia in adult rats and to explore the mechanism of EA combined with rTMS in treating ischemic brain injury. Method: The model of transient focal ischemia was produced by occlusion of middle cerebral artery. Seventy-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, EA group, rTMS group and EA +rTMS group. The neurologic impairment rating and ability of learning and memory were observed at the 7th、14th and 28th d after infarction respectively. Meanwhile, Western blotting was used to observe the number of nestin expression positive cells. Result: Nestin-positive cells were found in cortex, subgranular zone (SGZ), subventricular zone (SVZ) of the ipsilateral side at different time points after cerebral isehemia. The number of nestin-positive cells peaked at the 7th d, began to decrease at the 14th d and was significantly higher in EA+rTMS group than that in model group (P<0.05), then almost reached normal at the 28th d. The improvement of neural motor function deficits as well as the indexes of learning and memory were more obvious in EA+rTMS group compared with model group (P<0.01, P<0.05). These effects were most obvious in EA+rTMS group compared with the EA and rTMS group (P<0.05). Conclusion: EA and rTMS possess the potency of building up and can increase the number of nestin-positive cells in some brain regions after focal cerebral ischemia, which might be one of the important mechanisms of EA combined with rTMS in treating ischemia brain injury.

Objective To investigate the expression of kallikrein 9 (KLK9) in liver cancer and to determine its significance.Methods The expression of KLK9 in liver cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR techniques.Results The rate of expression of KLK9 protein in liver cancer tissues was significantly higher than paracarcinoma tissues and normal liver tissues (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of KLK9 mRNA in liver cancer cells was significantly higher than normal liver cells (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of KLK9 was related to metastasis,size of tumors,degree of malignancy and clinical staging of the liver cancer (P ≤ 0.05),but there was no associated with age,HbsAg and sex (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions KLK9 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of liver cancer.It may be used as a tumor marker and a prognostic factor.It may also provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and biological targeted therapy of liver cancer.
