Results: The sequence of this SREP-like gene was a cquired, the vector was successfully constructed. Conclusion: The deduced amino acid sequence of SREP-like gene of Aspergillus oryzae indicated that there is t he high homology with those of SREP genes of Penicillium chrysogenum, Neur ospora crassa and Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

[Objective]To retrospectively analyze of functional and radiographic outcome of distal calvicle fractures (Neer type II) treated with coracoclavicular screw fixation.[Method]Fifteen patients with Neer type II distal clavicle fracture were treated surgically between March 2001 and March 2004.Operative treatment included open reduction and fixation of the proximal clavicular fragment to the coracoid process using a 6.5-mm cancellous screw and repair of the coracoclavicular ligaments.Perioperative radiographs were performed to ensure that the screw was introduced properly into the coracoid.Following the operation,the arm was placed in a sling for two weeks.After two weeks,the sling was discontinued and the patient was permitted to use the arm for daily activities except for lifting,pulling,and pushing for 6 weeks.The patient is instructed not to perform any heavy lifting,pushing,pulling or participate in contact sports for 3 months.Data were collected to allow scoring according to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder index 6 months after operation.[Result]All the patients were followed up at an average of 16 months (range:9~26 months).Fracture union occurred at a mean of 7 weeks (range:6~9 weeks)postoperatively without any serious complications such as screw-migration,pseudarthrosis,infection,neurovascular damage,or skin necrosis.All patients returned to the pre-injury level of activity with no residual pain or dysfunction.The mean American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder index was 97 points ( range: 90-100 points) 6 months after operation.Two patients showed radiologically ossification of the acromioclavicular joint with no clinical symptoms.[Conclusion]Coracoclavicular screw fixation is a relatively simple,reliable,and safe technique of open reduction and internal fixation of the type II distal clavicle fracture.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT whole body bone imaging in the diagnosis of bone metastasis of prostate cancer. Methods A total of 107 cases with prostate cancer were di-agnosed by SPECT whole body bone imaging from January 2013 to November 2016. SPECT/CT imaging of some ab-normal density collective focus found in whole body bone imaging were further carried out. Six months later ,whole body bone imaging and SPECT/CT were made again for review. In all diagnosis above ,99mTc-MDP were selected as bone imaging agent. According to the results of follow-up visit clinical and imaging diagnosis ,diagnostic perfor-mance indicators of whole body bone imaging and SPECT/CT were calculated. Results The different part of whole body bone imaging and SPECT/CT in the diagnosis of bone metastases was statistically significant(x2 = 23.000, P < 0.001). The diagnosis specificity and coincidence rate of SPECT/CT for bone metastasis were 100.0% and 98.1% respectively and they were significantly higher than those of whole body bone imaging(65.0% and 80.4%respectively). The differences were statistically significant(P < 0.05). After SPECT/CT diagnosis,a total of 193 undetermined lesions were found and 83 lesions of these were final diagnosed of bone metastases. Pelvic lesions were most in bone metastases ,accounting for 50.6%. Conclusion Whole body bone imaging can effectively determine the undetermined lesions , further SPECT/CT can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

The poverty population definition for medical assistance was related to equity and precision,but still lacked theory and method in practice.The catastrophic and impoverishment health expenditure methods based on relative costs theory considered the family's ability to pay,which reflected the economic burden and poverty status of families.Meanwhile,they reflected the breadth and depth of poverty.Therefore,the theory and methods of catastrophic diseases relative costs could support the definition of catastrophic diseases for poverty population in China.

Objective To explore the effect of collaborative nursing on the quality of life and nursing of stroke patients. Methods Toally 84 care-givers for 84 stroke patients hospitalized during February 2014 to March 2016 were chosen. In the control group(hospitalized from Feburary 2013 to Feburary 2014), traditional nursing was carried out, while in the research group(hospitalized from March 2014 to March 2016), the collaborative care intervention was done. The comparisons were done between the two groups in terms of quality of life and care ability by the GHQ-28 quality of life scale assessment, family caregiver task inventory (FCTI) before the intervention and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant differences in life quality and care ability (all P > 0.05). After the intervention, the scores on symptoms, anxiety, depression, insomnia and social dysfunction were all significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The scores on the care role, strain, assistance, personal emotion control, family assessment and community resources, and adjustment of life to meet the care needs were all significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions The collaborative care is effective in improving the quality of life of stroke patients. It can improve the care ability of the caregiver.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of aspirin on hypoxic brain neural cells of rat and the effects of extracellular calcium on the neuroprotective effect of aspirin. Methods The hypoxic cell model was established by adding Na_2S_2O_4 to the calcium or calcium free medium. Cultured primary cortical neurons of rat were pretreated with ASA in vitro. The change of intracellular free calcium and neuroglobin (NGB) were observed and analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope. Results The expression level of [Ca~(2+)] i and NGB increased significantly in the chemical hypoxia group ( P < 0. 05 ). ASA can attenuate the increase of [ Ca~(2+) ] i and NGB in the hypoxic group and calcium-free hypoxia group(P <0. 05). Conclusion Aspirin can inhibit calcium overload and the hypoxia-induced expression of NGB, so protect rat brain cells against hypoxia.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the perioperative treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of perioperative clinical data of 43 cases with CRSwNP and asthma. The admitted and under endoscopic surgery. Patients with preventing perioperative asthma attacks and corresponding standardized treatment were Observed. RESULT: Thirty-five cases were stable during perioperative period and without asthma. Seven patients diagnosed as mild and moderate asthma attacks because of low pulse oximetry (SpO2 92%-95%) and scattered wheeze heard in the lungs. So these patients were sent to ICU for the treatment. They went back to ward after their conditions turned to stable and no asthma during perioperative. One patient diagnosed as severe asthma attack, because irritability and suffocation happened, SpO2 decreased from 99% to 84%-81%, diffuse wheeze could be heard in the whole lung . So we give him tracheal intubation and sent him to ICU for advanced treatment after breathing smooth. Five days later the patient retuned to the ward in stable condition and with no asthma attack again. CONCLUSION Before operation the patients should be give some corresponding standardized comprehensive treatment according to the nasal symptoms and the degree of asthma attack, such as the application of topical steroid and antiallergic medicine. And some special treatment should be given to reduce airway hyperresponsiveness mucosa during anesthesia. These methods can reduce the risk of the asthma attacks and improve perioperative safety, prevent serious complications.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) with positive anti-contactin-associated protein-1 (Caspr1) antibody is a rare autoimmune antibody mediated peripheral neuropathy. A 62-year-old male patient was reported in this article, whose clinical manifestations were subacute onset, abnormal distal limb motor sensation, and increased cerebrospinal fluid protein level. The patient had a good response to plasma exchange. Electromyography of lower limbs showed that motor involvement was dominant, motor conduction velocity slowed down, compound motor active potential (CMAP) and sensory nerve active potential amplitude decreased, and F wave was not elicited; electromyography of upper limbs without symptoms showed that CMAP amplitude of median nerve decreased, and conduction velocity was normal. There are few reports of anti-Caspr1 positive CIDP in the world. The article summarized the characteristics of the patient and reviewed the relevant literature, in order to improve clinicians′ understanding and diagnosis and treatment ability of the disease.
