Objective:To investigate the curative effects and the economic effects of Alprostadil in Pharmacotherapeutic Schemes for Cerebral Infarction. Methods:118 cases of cerebral infarction, admitted from March 2001 to March 2003, were collected and divided into two groups: Alprostadil was given to group Ⅰ, Alprostadil was not given to group Ⅱ. Data was evaluated using the pharmacoeconomics cost effectiveness analysis. Results: The costs of two groups were 13 826.13 and 7 884.55 yuan respectively. The effective rates of two groups were 92.89% and 80.33% respectively. The cost-effective rates of two groups were 148.70 and 98.15 yuan / per unit of effective. It cost 469.69 yuan for group Ⅰ to increase per unit of effective above group Ⅱ. Conclusion: GroupⅡ had lower cost- effective ratio, and groupⅠ had higher effective rate. If patients care about effectiveness more than cost, it maybe useful to take groupⅠ.

Objective To elucidate the pathogenesis of nodular duodenitis by investigating its endoscopic and histopathological characteristics. Methods One hundred and thirty-six patients were enrolled into study. Histopathological changes of duodenal tissue specimens were examined by H-E and AB/PAS staining. H.pylori was demonstrated by Giemsa staining and rapid urease test. Results Under endoscopy, all 136 patients with nodular duodenitis had nodular lesions (ranged from 0.2 cm to 1.0 cm), variant degrees of erythema and edema, among them 21 cases had erosion, and 30 cases had haemorrhagic spots and/or ecchymoses. The detecting rate of nodular duodenitis was 0.9%(136/15 820) of all the endoscopic examinations and 3.8%(136/3541) of duodenitis. There was 107 cases of nodular duodenitis identified by histopathological examination including 53 cases of chronic duodenitis and 54 cases of active duodenitis. The histopathological characteristics of chronic duodenitis were lymphocytes and plasmocytes infiltration and varied degrees of atrophic duodenal villi and glands. While in active duodenitis, there was neutrophilic granulocytes infiltration. There were 51 cases of Brunner's gland hyperplasia and 59 cases of gastric epithelial metaplasia. Among all patients, 7 cases were proved to be gastric heterotopia, 4 cases of schistosomiasis and 18 cases of normal tissue. Among 107 nodular duodenitis, the positive rate of H.pylori infection was 45.8% (49/107), the infection rate of H.pylori in active duodenitis(59.3%,32/54) was significantly higher than that in chronic duodenitis (32.1%,17/53) (P

Objective:To select the differentially expressed vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC) apoptosis gene induced by icariin,glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78),to observe the expression of GRP78 in atherosclerosis tissue and to the elucidate the mechanism of anti-atherosclerosis of icariin.Methods:The model was established by using halfcystine in viro.The vascular smooth muscle cell was incubated with various concentrations of icariin for 48 hours.The apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay.GRP78 gene was amplificated by PCR,recombinant plasmid were constructed,transfected into E.coli,positive clonings were selected and conf irmed by restriction endonucleas analysis,and sequence-ed.Tissue situ hybridization was used to observe the GRP78 expression in atherosclerosis tissue.Results:Icariin promoted obviously vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis.Furthermore,the fragment,648bp,was similar to the gene of GRP78 from VSMC,and the expression level was signif icantly higher in high cholesterol group than in control nroup.Conclusions:The GRP78 plays a key role in inducing atherosclerotic lesions.The mechanism of anti-atherosclerosis of icariin might be partly due to promoting apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cell.

Objective To investigate the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor one(NMDA-R1 )in visceral hypersensitivity forming of Sprague-Dawley rat model induced by transient Trichinella spiralis intestinal infection.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group,visceral hypersensitivity group,0.9％ NaCl group and MK-801 group.The rats in visceral hypersensitivity group,0.9％NaCl group and MK-801 group were given Trichinella spiralis to establish infection model.After eight weeks,the rats in 0.9％NaCl group and MK-801 group were given 0.9 ％ NaCl and MK-801 respectively.The abdominal muscular electrical activity of each group was observed under 20,40,60 and 80 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) colorectal distension pressure.After abdominal muscular electrical activity recorded,rats were sacrificed and the colon specimens were collected.The expression of NMDA-R1 at protein level was detected by Western blot.The data were analyzed by LSD test and Bivariate correlation.Results There was significant correlation between areas under curve (AUC) of abdominal muscular electrical activity electromyography and distension pressure in healthy control group,visceral hypersensitivity group,0.9％ NaCl group and MK-801 group (r=0.823,0.618,0.913,0.889 respectively,all P＜0.01).Under 20,40,60,80 mm Hg distension pressure,there was significant difference in AUC between MK-801 group and visceral hypersensitivity group (LSD test,all P＜0.05).The AUC of MK-801 group was lower than that of healthy control group,but there was significant difference (LSD test,P =0.029) only when distension pressure was at 80 mm Hg.The integral optical density value of NMDA-R1 protein of MK-801 group (1.238 ±0.210) was significantly lower than that of visceral hypersensitivity group (2.231±0.450) and 0.9％NaCl group (2.104±0.220) (LSD teat,P=0.025,0.046).The JA value of NMDA-R1 protein of visceral hypersensitivity group and 0.9％NaCl group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group (LSD test,P =0.007,0.014).Conclusion The visceral hypersensitivity forming was correlated with the high expression of NMDA-R1,and it could be adjusted by inhibiting NMDA-R1 expression in enteric nervous system.

Objective To evaluate the performance of parallel test in detecting malaria infection for returned person from malaria endemic area.Methods The blood samples of 484 returnees from malaria endemic area were analyzed and detected by thick blood smear,rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and nest PCR in four companies involving the African labor dispatching.Results The sensitivi ty of thick blood smear and RDT was 0.628 and 0.744 respectively,which of the parallel test was 0.930.On the other hand,the area under the curve (AUC) of parallel test was 0.930 (95％CI:0.895-0.986),which was higher than thick blood smear[0.814 (95％CI:0.724-0.904)]and RDT[0.847 (95％CI:0.769-0.926)].Conclusion Thick blood smear and RDT,which consist of parallel test,could improve the detection sensitivity and accuracy for returnees from malaria epidemical area effectively.This approach is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.Results The cases of primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma accounted for all appendectomy specimens of 0.13％ (8/6 069).Among them,only 1 case was diagnosed correctly before operation,preoperative conventional abdominal CT examination was valuable for the diagnosis.One stage right hemicolectomy was performed in 2 cases,two stage right hemicolectomy was carried out in 5 cases.Postoperatively systemic chemotherapy was performed in 2 cases.Conclusions Lack of particular presentation,primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma is uncommon and difficult to be diagnosed exactly,preoperative misdiagnosed rate is very high.Right hemicolectomy is the most commonly recommended surgical option,systemic chemotherapy should be offered according to the stage.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of normal hematopoietic and without causing the increase of relapse rate of amifostine in patients with acute myeloid chemotherapy.Methods One hundred and forty-two acute myeloid leukemia(AML) patients were selected and divided into combination group(n =56) and chemotherapy alone group (n =86).Hematological toxicity and non-hematologic toxicity,response rate,duration of response of patients were prospective,non-randomized,case-control study.Results Fifty-six patients in combined group included 30 male and 26 female patients,and 18 patients in high risk stage and 32 patients in intermediate risk stage and 6 patients in low risk.The median age was (35.14 ± 14.42) year in combination group.Chemotherapy alone group included 58 male 28 female patients,and 14 patients in high risk and 64 patients in intermediate risk and 8 patients in low risk.The median age was (46.58 ± 16.99) year.There were no significant difference between two groups in terms of gender (P =0.318) and risk stage(P =0.262).But more young patients were in combination group compared with chemotherapy alone group and there was significant difference(P =0.004).In combination group,42.9％ (24 cases)patients got high Ara-C dose and 32.1％ (18 cases) patients got high HAA dose chemotherapy compared with control group (14.9％ (12 cases)and 20.9％ (18 cases)).The during periods of platelet with ＜20 × 109/L in combination was 0(0,7) day,lower than that in chemotherapy alone group (9 (4,14),P =0.01).Meanwhile the volume of platelet infusion in combination group was less than that in chemotherapy alone group and the nadir of platelet4(0(0,3) U vs.4(1,6) U,P =0.02).No statistic difference was found in two groups regarding of non-hematological side effects and the relapse rate (before and after treatment,combination group:96.4％ (54/56) ; Chemotherapy alone group:98.8 ％ (85/86) ; P=0.062).Conclusion Amifostine may provide protection for AML patients,can short duration of thrombocytopenia,reduce platelet transfusions,and other side effect was no significant difference.

AIM: To select differentially the expressed gene,glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78),to observe the expression of GRP78 in atherosclerosis tissue and to elucidate the mechanism for anti-atherosclerosis of puerarin.METHODS: The model was established by using homocysteinemia in vitro.The vascular endothelial cells were incubated with various concentrations of puerarin(10 -7 mol/L,10 -6 mol/L,10 -5 mol/L) for 48 h.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry using Annexin/PI-staining.GRP78 gene was amplificated by PCR.These differentially expressed fragments were cloned,selected,confirmed,and sequenced.Digoxigenin-labeled DNA Probe and cholesterol-rich rabit model were prepared,GRP78 mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization in atherosclerotic lesions and normal tissue.RESULTS: Three concentrtions of puerarin significantly inhibited the apoptosis of endothelial cells.The early apoptosis rate was decreased magnificently in a dose dependent manner compared with that of HCY group (P
