Objective To demonstrate the feasibility, effectiveness and reliability of combination of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and excision-closed hemorrhoidectomy (ECH) for severe hemorrhoids. Methods Sixty patients with Ⅲ- Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids which left remnant prolapsed hemorrhoids after stapled hemorrhoidopexy, were randomly divided into group A (PPH with additional ECH group,30 cases.) and group B [PPH with additional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (MMH) group, 30 cases]. Ten indexes of the results in two groups were compared. ResultsThe hemorrhoidectomy lasted (35.6 ± 5.3) min in group A and (47.3 ± 10.2) min in group B. The indexes related to 24 h visual analogue scale (VAS) after operation were (2.9 ± 1.2) scores in group A and (5.7 ± 1.9) scores in group B. Wound healing time were (6.3 ± 1.4) d in group A and (28.5 ± 4.8) d in group B. Many indexes showed the results in group A was better than those in group B ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The six-month follow-up visits after operation showed no complications, such as recurrence in either group. ConclusionsCombination treatment for Ⅲ -Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids with PPH with additional ECH is a easy,safe,reliable,minimal-aching and quick-recovering method of hemorrhoidectomy with favorable results than PPH with additional MMH.

Objective To determine the content of calycosin-7-?-O-D-glucopyranpside in Danggui Buxie Dropping Pills.Methods HPLC method was used. The chromatographic column was YMC-C18(150?4.6 mm, 5 ?m), the mobile phase was methanol and water(40 ∶60), the detection wavelenth was 235 nm, column temperature at 20 ℃and flow rate was 1.0mL/min.Results Calycosin-7-?-O-D-glucopyranpside was separated well with other components and was in good linearity in the range of 0.02～0.80 ?g. The average recovery was 97.62 %and RSD=1.06 %.Conclusion The method is rapid and accurate and can be used for quality control of Danggui Buxie Dropping Pills.

Retinal neural degeneration diseases is one of the main causes of vision loss , TNF-αas an inflammatory cytokine with pleiotropic biological activity , after binding to its receptor by a variety of signaling pathways , may have play critical role in pathogenesis of retinal neural degeneration diseases including glaucoma , ischemic retinop-athy, age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa .

Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for the generation and development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The lipid-lowering effects of drugs were mediated by the control of lipid metabolism.Recently some new targets in the process of lipid metabolism were found,they may lead to the development of new drugs.

By one trial passive avoidance respense-step-down task and water maze spatial localizat　ion task, the effect of Ginseng and Angelica Sinensis Decotion (GASD)on pathological mod　els of the anmesia rat with hippocampal lesions induced by quiuolinic acid was studied. Re　sults suggest that GASD can improve learning aud memory deficiency in rats with bilateral hippocampal lesions after administration of quinolinic acid. The major mechanism of GASD may be related to the regulation of the glutamatergic fuuction and prevention of the neuro　toxicity of quinolinic acid

Objective To improve the diagnosis of metastatic adrenal carcinomas. Methods 123 cases of primary canc-er which had been proved by autopsy in recent 10 years were reviewed. 23 cases of metastatic adrenal carcinomas werefound in all cases,the metastatic being unilateral in 20 and bilateral in 3. Results All the 23 cases of metastatic adrenal-carcinomas had been found missed diagnosis. Conclusion 16 cases are from lung cancer,among which 8 cases are smallcell lung cancer. It is important to prevent metastatic adrenal carcinomas from small cell lung cancer.

To find out the patterns and trend of clinical use of antihypertensive agents to provide a guidance for rational use of drugs, the antihypertensive drugs used in our hospital during 1995-1999 period was investigated in respect to the sum of consumption cost, drugs used and DDDs. Our results showed that the DDDs and the consumption cost for antihypertensive drugs have increased gradually for recent 5 years. The order of DDDs of drugs was as follows: calcium antagonists, adrenergic blocking drugs, ACE inhibitors, the drugs affecting sympathetic transmitters and peripheral vasodilators. The order of sum of money was as follows: ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists and calcium antagonists respectively. It is concluded that a diverse array of anthhypertensive agents were available and widely used clinically and attention should be paid to the rational use of the drugs.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease.Its invasion and metastasis,recurrence and part of the chemotherapy drug tolerance are currentlv difficulties of treatment.Breast cancer stem cells have the ability of selfrenewal,proliferation and differentiation potential,which may correlate closely with breast cancer recurrence,treatment failure.This assay aims to briefly analyse markers and significance of breast cancer stem cells,and the relationship between the treatment of breast cancer and breast cancer stem cells.

Objective To established the method of increasihg the proportion of T regulatory cells(Tr) to T effector cells(Te), which could suppresses allogeneic ahtigen reaction, by in vivo of glucocorti-coid (dexamethasone, DXM) combined with IL-2. Methods After combined treatment to male C57BL/6N mice (donor) with DXM(5 mg. kg-1· d-1 ) and IL-2 (300 000 IU · mouse-1·d-1) for 3 d, spleen mono-nuclear cells were made and were carried out by flow cytometry analysis. Using the spleen cells of BALB/c mice as aliogeneic antigen to stimulate the spleen cells of male C57BL/6N mice for 7 d after combined treat-ment of glucoeorticoid and IL-2, the reaction of cell proliferation was detected. Results After the treatrment of DXM and IL-2, CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Tr cells in the spleen of C57BL/6N mice increased abviously. The ratio of CD25+ Foxp3+ Tr to CD4+ T cells was 24.22%±7.60% in the group of DXM combined with IL-2, while the control group was 4.02% ±0. 84% ( P =0. 01 ). Compared with the control group (0. 14±0.01 ), the ratio of Tr to Te increased obviously in the group of DXM combined with IL-2 (0.43±0. 15 ) ( P = 0.01 ). The group of DXM combined with IL-2 also expressed more glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor(GITR) and alloreaction was suppressed/n vitro obviously ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion DXM amplifies IL-2 induced the proportion of Tr to Te, and suppresses the cell proliferation stimulated by alloge-neic antigen.
