Objective To study the effect of Atorvastatin on the level of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and nitric oxide(NO) in patients with acute cerebral infartion(ACI). Methods 60 patients with ACI were randomly divided into the Atorvastatin therapy group (n=30) and the conventional therapy group (n=30). At the basic of conventional therapy, the Atorvastatin therapy group was treated with Atorvastatin 20 mg/d. Both groups were treated for 14 consecutive days. The levels of serum hs-CRP and NO were measured and the scores of neurological deficit (NDS) were evaluated before and after treatment. Results The levels of serum hs-CRP in both two groups after 14 d treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment ( all P

Objective To evaluate clinical effects of combined use of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility with uterine septum,and to analyze the relationship between infertility and uterine septum. Methods Surgery using hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopy was performed in 110 patients with infertility accompanying uterine septum,including primary infertility in 78 patients and secondary infertility in 32 patients.The relative infertility factors and post-operative pregnancy prognoses were analyzed. Results Unexplained infertility accounted for 40% of patients(44/110).As of March 2006,a total of 82 patients were successfully followed.The total post-operative pregnancy rate was 45.1%(37/82),consisting of 46.6% in patients with primary infertility(27/58) and 41.7% in patients with secondary infertility(10/24),without significant difference between the two groups(?~2=0.164,P=0.686).The post-operative pregnancy rates in patients with unexplained infertility and etiologically-clarified infertility were 51.2%(22/43) and 38.5%(15/39),respectively,without significant difference(?~2=1.332,P=0.248).In patients with unexplained infertility,the post-operative pregnancy rate for primary infertility was 56.7%(17/30) and for secondary infertility,38.5%(5/13). Conclusions Combined use of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for infertility with uterine septum can improve the post-operative pregnancy rate.The presence of uterine septum bears some relationship to the incidence of infertility.

Objective To summarize the experience of 11 orthotopic allogeneic heart transplantations for patients suffering from terminal heart disease, and to discuss how to improve the selection of donor and recipient, protection for the donated heart, postoperative treatment and immune surveillance suitable for our country. Methods 1.All the donated hearts were protected by perfusing cold modified St.Thomas cardioplegia and cold oxygenated blood. 2. Orthotopic heart transplantation was performed with the standard technique of medium low temperature extracorporeal circulation. 3. FK506, mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) and steroid were given to prevent rejection. 4. Troponin I, ? 1 and ? 2 microglobulin, C reactive protein (CRP), interleukins, lymphocyte subgroups and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) were employed to monitor the immune rejection reactions. Furthermore, myocardial biopsy and coronary arteriography were conducted periodically. Results Three patients died of systemic failure and infection due to hepatic failure and mental disorder after operation. All the others survived with no complications. Conclusion Strictness in selection of the recipient, high quality of donor heart, correct early postoperative treatment and sound use of immunosurppressant are key to achieving successful cardiac transplantation.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term effects ofapplication of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopic Lithotripsy on the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Methods Eighty-threecases of hepatolithiasis were treated with the PTCSL and the other 87cases were treated with the Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.The general clinical parameters , curative effect in the near future and long-term curative effect were anlyzed. Results No significant differences were found between the two groups in the general clinical parameters (P>0.05). The operation time,intraoperative blood transfusion volume and intraoperatve blood soss in group A were significantly shorter than those in group B(P<0.05, respectively). The original calculi residual rate was 2.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 4.8%and the recurrent cholangitis was4.8%in the model of PTCSL (Group A). The original calculi residual rate was 18.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 23.0% and the recurrent cholangitis was 23.0%in the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy (Group B), with significant difference between these two groups (P<0.05). The calculi recurrence rate of group A was 12.0%,the calculi recurrence rate of group B was 22.9%,withno significant difference between these two group (P>0.05). No patients died in each group. The results of complications showed thatthe incidence of residual calculi of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy, the PTCSL was more safe, minimally invasive and effective. The short-term efficacy of the model of PTCSL was better than that of the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the chromosomal abnormalities and prognosis of the myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)patients, and analyze the effects of treatment. Methods Karyotype analysis of 122 patients according to the international human cytogenetics(ISCN) criteria.Treatment of RA and RAS were mainly dependent on agents to induce differentiation of hematopoietic cells and drugs based.RAEB,RAEB-t,CMML treatment were dependent on low-dose chemotherapy and low-dose combination chemotherapy regimens.The treatments of 64 MDS patients with abnormal karyotype were analyzed and compared with control group, and 58 normal karyotype MDS patients were hospitalized in the same period.ResultsAfter treatments,17 cases gained complete remission among 64 patients with abnormal karyotype MDS patients.The CR rate was 26.6 ％.While in control group,30 gained CR in 58 MDS patients with normal karyotype. The CR rate was 51.7 ％. Comparing with the CR patients of normal karyotype, the number of patients with abnormal karyotype of CR was significantly lower (x 2 =8.1 3,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Karyotype analysis shows important significance in the diagnosis and prognosis of MDS.Karyotype transformation demonstrates differently in the risk of leukemia progress.

Objective To explore the association of anti-mullerian hormone(AMH)in seminal plasma and serum with sperm counts and energy for male.Methods For 215 cases of healthy male selected from our reproductive clinic,with women′s reason for infertility,seminal plasma and serum AMH were detected,as semen parameters(sperm density,living rate,vitality and malformation rate),6 items of serum sex hormone.In seminal plasma and serum AMH respectively as the dependent variable,using multiple line-ar regression model to explore its quantitative relation with semen parameters and sex hormone levels.Results 215 cases were en-rolled,aged 34.28±5.70 years,while the median of the seminal plasma AMH was 0.47,quartile 0.05-3.09 pmol/ejaculation.The median of the serum AMH was 53.07,quartile 32.32 -72.20 pmol/L.Through multiple linear regression analysis,after adjusted by age and BMI,the seminal plasma of AMH and total number of sperm,sperm concentration,dynamic motility,total sperm activi-ty,serum inhibin B were positively correlated(P <0.05);The correlation between sperm morphology and other serum sex hormone had no statistical significance(P >0.05);Serum AMH negatively correlated with serum FSH,with serum inhibin B positively(P <0.05);Seminal plasma in various parameters and other related serum sex hormone had no statistical significance(P >0.05).Conclu-sion The seminal plasma of AMH were positively correlated with sperm concentration,sperm counts,sperm vitality,with the asso-ciation for serum AMH not yet found.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment strategy of mammary duct ectasia.Methods The clinical data of 59 cases with mammary duct ectasia from January 2006 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The main clinical manifestations of mammary duct ectasia were mammary inflammatory mass in 46 cases,nipple discharge in 21 cases,nipple retraction in 18 cases,mammary abscess and mammary fistula in 8 cases.Definite diagnosis of mammary duct ectasia depended on pathology.All the patients were treated by operation,followed up for 3 months to 6 years,and none of them had recurrence.Conclusions Operation is the main method of curing mammary duct ectasia.To select proper operation time and method according to disease type,lesion size,location and scope.Thorough resection,repeat rinsing,wound clearance and immediate breast shape can not only cure disease,but also reserve breast configuration as possible.Therapeutic effect is satisfactory.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and to discover the regularity of malaria outbreaks in Nanchang City from 1950 to 2015, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing control strategies after the goal of malaria elimination has been achieved. Method Malaria related data, report forms and work summary in Nanchang from 1950 to 2015 were collected and analyzed to indicate malaria distribution characteristics via the descriptive epidemiological methods. Results The total number of malaria cases reported in Nanchang City was 1449878 from 1950 to 2015. The particular years with the three peaks of malaria epidemic from 1950s to 1970s were 1954, 1970 and 1977. The climax of annual mean incidence rate of malaria (6948.75 per 100 thousand) was reached in 1970. Totally 1449739 local recurrence cases were reported between 1950 and 1999. There were 484292 local recurrence cases (accounting for 68.80%, 484292/703911) that were diagnosed in the malaria epidemic seasons, May to August. There were 44931, 25684, 22614 and 5842 cases reported in Nanchang County, Xinjian County, Jinxian County and Qingshanhu District, which ranked the top 4 of epidemic focus areas ( accounting for 90 . 65%, 99071/109293) between 1980 and 1989. The 13245 cases reported between 1972 and 1985 in the three county/districts (Jinxian County, Xihu District and Wanli District), included 8513 cases of male and 4732 cases of female. The 126 cases reported between 2005 and 2015, included 122 imported cases who were mostly returnees after overseas labor output and 57 falciparum malaria cases with a increasing trend year by year. There was no correlation between the seasonal change and the occurrence of malaria. Conclusions The comprehensive prevention and control measures based on eliminating the source of infection can effectively control the epidemic of malaria. It is suggested that the surveillance on imported falciparum malaria cases should be the focus in prevention and control of the disease at the late-stage because the epidemiological characteristics of local malaria cases have died out completely.
