Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of biexponential model of DWI in nontypical hippocampal sclerosis (HS) of the youth.Methods DWI with multiple b values were performed on 75 youths with right temporal lobe epilepsy and 20 healthy youths(control group).There were no abnormalities in hippocampus on conventional MRI.11 of 75 patients were proved right HS by surgery and pathology (HS group).Compare the volume of the right hippocampus and their D,D? and f values in HS group and control group.Results There were statistical differences in D and f values between HS group and control group (Z=-3.08,Z=-2.23,P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the volume of hippocampus and D? values between two groups (Z=1.77,Z=-0.19,P>0.05). Conclusion When HS does not have typical appearances on conventional MRI,D and f values can provide help from diffusion and the perfusion of microcirculation aspects.

Objective To investigate the relationship of D-dimer(DD) and fibrinogen levels in blood plasma and diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods According to the results of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), 98 cases of type 2 diabetas were divided into simple diabetic mellitus ( SDM), early diabetic nephropathy ( EDN) and clinical diabetic nephropathy (CDN); other 45 healthy persons were employed as control. Plasma levels of DD and the fibrinogen of all groups were examined.Results There was significant difference of DD and fibrinogen levels in all groups as compared with control group (P

Lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia is of great prevalence among ageing males,and it can markedly affect patients' quality of life.Personalized drug therapy according to genetic characteristics is the ideal choice for this problem.Here we summarized the latest research findings on the associations of gene polymorphisms with drug efficacy and adverse reaction in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia/urinary tract symptoms.

With the continuous development of modern chemistry, biology and pharmacy, researches on TCM modernization has witnessed a wide range of application of related modern technology, especially in researches of TCM monomer efficacy and pharmacokinetics. This can provide basis to internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine. The current research focus is how to obtain targeted TCM monomer. This article expounded the screening methods for TCM monomer at home and abroad, the principles of screening, the limitation and meanings.

Objective To investigate the characterized imaging in conventional MRI, get information about the metabolites in basal ganglia from proton MR Spectroscopy(~1H-MRS) of acute bilirubin encephalopathy(ABE) and find out the relationship between those changes and bilirubin levels. Methods Twenty-eight patients with acute bilirubin encephalopathy and 15 normal neonates underwent MR and ~1H-MRS examinations T_1 WI, T_2WI and DWI were collected via conventional MRI scanning of all neonates. All patients underwent multi-voxels scanning and 15 of them had single voxel scanning. ~1H-MRS used point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) both in multi-voxels and single voxel scanning. The data of them were acquired from the ROIs placed in basal ganglia and globus pallidus, respectively. The metabolites including NAA choline, Lactate, glutamate and glutamine, myoinositol and creatine were quantitatively analyzed to compare them between the control group and the case group. Equality of variance between patient data and normal values were tested by using the two-tailed t test. The case group was divided into three groups of 342.0 μmol/L < TSB ≤ 427. 5 μmol/L,427.5 μmol/L < TSB ≤ 513.0 μmol/L, TSB > 513.0 μmol/L including 8,9,11 patients, respectively. Analysis of variance was used for statistics. Results Conventional magnetic resonance imaging showed symmetrical high signal of T_1WI in globus pallidus of 23 patients. The case group and the control group were significantly different. Single voxel ~1H-MRS revealed that the relative concentrations of Glx/Gr and mI/Cr in the control group were 0.95±0.23, 0.57±0.20, respectively, While those in case group were 1.45±0.37, 0.74±0.23, respectively. There were significant differences between two groups (t =2. 13,4. 40,P =0.04,0.00 respectively). Multi-voxels scanning 1H-MRS revealed that Glx / Cr were 0.51±0.36 in case group and 0.29±0.18 in control group. There was also a significant difference between two groups (t =2.17,P =0.03). And the values of Cho/Cr, NAA/Cr and Lac/Cr were not significantly different. The results were same in multi-voxels ~1H-MRS. Total bilirubin level and the concentration of metabolites in the brain do not have obvious correlation. Conclusions ABE has a characteristic signature which is symmetrical high signal of T_1 WI in globus pallidus on conventional MBI; The values of mI/Cr and Glx/Cr remarkably increase as detected by ~1H-MRS, which is generally in agreement with what has been known about bilirubin pathology.

o statistical difference between WMD group and control group (t = 1.83, t = 0. 88, P 0. 05). Conclusion Conventional MRI is able to quantify the brain maturation and prognosis of premature infants using TMS.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between primary and secondary school teachers' occupational burnout and mental health.Methods: Maslach questionaiers about occupational burnout and mental (MBI) and SCL-90 were administrated to 528 primary and secondary school teachers. Results: (1) Correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between primary and secondary school teachers' occupational burnout and mental health. Emotional Exhaustion related highest to somatization, compulsion, interpersonal relation, depression, anxiety, hostility, and paranoid. (2) Stepwise regression analysis revealed that the three dimensions of professional burnout predict significantly mental health, Emotional Exhaustion accounted most for the variance.Conclusion:Teachers occupational burnout is correlated with mental health. Different occupational burnout dimensions can all predict mental health.

OBJECTIVE:To facilitate the evolvement of Chinese ADR monitoring.METHODS:Approaches concerning prescription-event monitoring in England and its progresses were investigated.RESULTS:Early warning signals that of precaution effect were available through prescription-event monitoring on primary safeguarded newly marketed drugs.CON?CLUSION:Voluntary ADR reporting system is now prevalent in China,the prescription-event monitoring system assumed by England set a good example for us to follow.

Objective To summarize the experience on bronchiallavage to cure pulmonary atelectasis and pulmonary infection after thoracotomy.Methods 48 patients were selected and treated by bronchiallavage under monitoring,and antibiotics was used according to sputum culture and drug sensitive test.The out come was analyzed and evaluated.Results All patients of the pulmonary atelectasis were cured and those with pulmonary infection were controled.There was no serious complication.Conclusion Bronchiallavage is applied to treat pulmonary atelectasis and pulmonary infection after thoracotomy,the curative rate is significant.The appliance of antibiotics is guided by drug sensitivity.It is such a safe and feasible therapeutic tool that the bronchofibroscope is applied to cure pulmonary atelectasis and pulmonary infection after thoracotomy.
