OBEJECTIVE:To establish a rapid and exclusive method for the identification of metronidazole tablets.METHODS:The infrared spectrophotometry was adopted,in which the recrystallization was carried out with the dehydrated alcohol as the solvent and with the highly pure potassium bromide tabletting as the infrared absorption spectrum.RESULTS:The infrared absorption spectrum of the metronidazole tablets was completely in conformity with that of the control substance and the standard spectrum of metronidazole issued in Infrared Spectrum Album of Drugs by State Pharmacopoeia Committee.CONCLUSION:This method is specific,fast and accurate,which can be used for the identification of metronidazole prepa-rations.

The 52-year-old female patient complained of persistent and progressive obstruction in left nasal cavity for more than 1 years. A grey, hard and smooth tumor with telangiectasia, were seen plugged in left post-nostrils and nasopharynx. CT scanning showed a tumor in the left nasal cavity. Post-operational pathologic diagnosis was peripheral nerve sheath tumors of nasal cavity.

OSCE is an examination of objective evaluation of the clinical skills.This article introduced the development of OSCE at home and aboard,and compared the difference of the exam setting in America,England,Canada and China Medical University.The advantages and disadvantages of SP in OSCE were also analyzed.It was discussed that OSCE would be widely applied in China.

Objective To analyze the descending trend of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and its related influencing factors in order to improve the descending speed of MMR. Methods The influencial factor analysis and u test were made on data collected from 232 rural counties of eight provinces in China. Results MMR had shown remarkable reduction from 1995 to 2000, a drop by 51.33%. However, there was still a gap if compared with the ratio of the whole country. Major causes influencing the descending speed of MMR include the high speed of economic development, more expenditure of health, quality of maternal service, such as the ratio of hospital delivery, cleaning delivery, prenatal and postnatal health care. Conclusion In order to accelerate the descending speed of MMR, attempts to increase the improvement speed of maternal health care, quality of maternal service and more expenditure of health should be made.

BACKGROUND:The biopsy material induced by foreign body is autologous tissue, which, in theory, avoids the role of immune rejection and destruction faced by non-autologous implants. This biology advantage has no way to comparison by synthetic and de-cel ular materials.
OBJECTIVE:To explore a biotube consisting of autologous cel s and extracel ular matrix and to evaluate its structure and mechanical features.
METHODS:The biotubes were prepared by embedding silicon rods as a mold intraperitoneal y. Specimens were analyzed by mechanical tests, histological observation and superficial study.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:It was easy to excite the biotubes prepared by embedding silicon tube
intraperitoneal y. The biotube mainly included col agen-rich extracel ular matrices and myofibroblasts appearing as elongated cel s with circumferential or longitudinal orientations. At 1 month of embedding, the wal was 70-250μm in thickness and had burst strength of (1 100±187) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), with perfect sewability. The biotubes, which possess the ability for wide adjustments in their shapes, are composed of autologous cel s and extracel ular matrices, and are an ideal graft for tissue engineering because they avoid immunological rejection and have sufficient mechanical strength.

Objective To explore the application of heteroscedastic time series model to the analysis of data of infectious diseases.Methods ARIMA and AR-GARCH models were used to fit the incidence of gonorrhea.Results The time series in this study,which was heteroscedastic significantly,finally was well fitted by AR(1)-GARCH(0,1) model through model selecting.Conclusions AR-GARCH model is suitable for analyzing heteroscedastic time-series data of infectious diseases.

Patients were divided into normal control, liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis groups. The patients with cirrhosis were categorized according to the Child Pugh classification into Child A,Child B and Child C groups. The waveforms of the right hepatic vein were examined with ultrasonography. HV(hepatic vein)0 waveforms were found in all the control subjects, 70.8% in those with fibrosis and 40.7% in those with cirrhosis. HV1 were found in 16.7% of those with fibrosis and 17.8% of those with cirrhosis. HV2 were found in 12.5% of those with fibrosis and 41.5% of those with cirrhosis. Statistical analysis showed that HV2 waveforms were significantly more often in patients with cirrhosis than in those with fibrosis. HV2 waveforms in the right hepatic vein are suggestive of liver cirrhosis.

Objective To discuss the value of MRI in the assessment of diagnosis and staging of cervical carcinoma. To compare MRI diagnosis value before surgery and pathology staging after surgery in uterine cervical carcinoma. Methods Pelvic MRI were performed in 50 patients with cervical carcinoma. The pathological type included 47 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 2 cases of adenocarcinoma and 1 cases adeno-squamous carcinoma. The MRI scanning included axial SE T1WI, axial , sagittal and coronal FSE T2WI ,and axial , sagittal and coronal enhanced or dynamic contrast-enhanced MR. MR staging were compared with surgical pathologic staging after surgery in 38 patients. Results The accuracy of MR imaging in stage Ⅰ - ⅡA of cervical cancer were 82.35 %. These patients performed an operation of hysterectomy or subtotal hysterectomy surgery. The accuracy of MR imaging in stage ⅢA-ⅣB were 100 %. The accuracy of MRI in total stage were 84.21%. Conclusion MR imaging can show the local tumors and extension of the cervical cancer clearly on multiple planes and angles. Preoperative staging with high accuracy, MR1 is conducive to preoperative evaluation, surgical plan formulation and selection.

Objective To evaluate the value of high resolution MR imaging (MRI) with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative diagnosis of rectal cancer. Methods 55 patients with rectal cancer may underwent high resolution MRI examinations before surgical operation, and with DWI (b=600, 1000 s/mm2). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the tumors were measured. The image findings were compared with pathology. Select 15 patients without rectal lesion, ADC value of the tumors and normal rectal wall were measured. Results High resolution MRI diagnosis rectal cancer sensitivity, specific degree and coincidence rate were 95.7% (45/47), 50.0% (4/8), 89.1% (49/55), high resolution MRI with DWI diagnosis colorectal cancer sensitivity, specific degree and coincidence rate were 100.0 % (47/47), 75.0 % (6/8), 96.4 % (53/55). The high resolution MRI tumor T-staging agreed with the histological stage that was 88.9% (40/45), the diagnosis of T2 stage was 87.5 % (14/16), the diagnosis of T3 stage was 89.6 % (26/29). The same b-valued under the ADC values of rectal cancer tumors and the normal rectal were different (P ＜0.05). No correlation can be pointed out between ADC and pathological classification of each tumor.Conclusion High resolution MRI with DWI for the rectal cancer preoperative diagnosis and T-staging has higher diagnostic accuracy, DWI can serve as an important supplement sequence of colorectal cancer diagnosis.
