3.Progress on the cause and mechanism of a separation of clinical symptoms and signs and imaging features in lumbar disk herniation.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2015;28(10):970-975
A few of patients with lumbar disk herniation having a separation of clinical symptoms and signs and imaging features, can be found in clinic, but the traditional theory of direct mechanical compression of nerve roots by herniated nucleus pulposus can't be used to explain this abnormal protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc. The clinical symptoms and signs of the atypical lumbar disk herniation are affected by multiple factors. The indirect mechanical compression and distraction effect of spinal nerve roots may play an important role in the occurrence of the separation, and the appearance of abnormal clinical symptoms and signs is closely related to the migration of herniated nucleus pulposus tissue, transmission of injury information in the nervous system, and the complex interactions among the nucleus pulposus, dural sac and nerve roots. Moreover,the changes of microcirculation and inflammation secondary to the herniated nucleus pulposus tissue, the hyperosteogeny in the corresponding segment of the lumbar vertebrae and the posture changes all results in a diversity of symptoms and signs in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Besides, there exist congenital variation of lumbosacral nerve roots and vertebral bodies in some patients, and the misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of imaging finding may occur in some cases. However, the appearance of a separation of clinical symptoms and signs and imaging examination in patients may be caused by a variety of reasons in clinic. The exact mechanism involved in the interaction among nucleus pulposus tissue, dural sac and nerve root, secondary changes of pathophysiology and biomechanics around the nucleus pulposus, the determination of lesioned responsible segments, and how to overcome the limitations of imaging all need the further researches.

4.Preparation of nano-liposome enveloping Flos Magnoliae volatile oil
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2007;5(3):314-7
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the influences of the concentrations of sodium cholate, cholesterol and drug, preparation temperature, ultrasonic time and power on the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of Flos Magnoliae volatile oil nano-liposome through film-ultrasonic wave technique together with membrane filter method. METHODS: The nano-liposomes were prepared by film-ultrasonic wave technique together with membrane filter method. The drug content in liposomes was determined by gas chromatography and the particle size was determined by laser light scattering granularity equipment. RESULTS: By film-ultrasonic wave technique together with membrane filter method, the liposomes in the range of 30-40 nm were prepared. The prepared nano-liposomes demonstrated good decentralization and homogeneity, and the encapsulation efficiency was (91.7+/-3)%. CONCLUSION: Film-ultrasonic wave together with membrane filter method is a simple method to fabricate nano-magnoliae liposome.

30% was considered sensitive and the rate ≤30% was considered resistant;and the 6 specimens were divided into 2 group according to the above standard.cDNA microassay combined with clustering analysis was used to screen for resistance-related genes.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used for verification of HDAC1 gene expression.Results:Three of the 6 glioma specimens belonged to the drug resistance group and the other 3 to the drug sensitive group.cDNA microarray analysis combined with cluster analysis screened out 21 genes,with 6 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated.High expression of gene HDAC1 was noticed in all the 6 specimens by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,and the trend was similar to that by microassay.Conclusion:The primary drug resistance of glioma may be associated with the 21 genes screened by cDNA microarray;the detailed mechanisms for drug controlling still need to discussed in the future.

Objective To study the effect of assessment criteria for thoracic surgery health education in the health education to patients undergoing thoracic surgeries.Methods One hundred and forty patients undergoing selective surgeries were evenly divided by their registration sequence into the control and experiment groups:The former received routine health education and the latter the health education based on thoracic surgery health education criteria.The effects of the health education were assessed by self-designed recognition evaluation criteria for thoracic surgery health education.Results The experiment group was significantly better than the control in terms of health-related knowledge,health belief and health behaviors,except operative approach,anesthesia method and intraoperative medication(all P<0.05).Conclusions The assessment criteria for thoracic surgery health education are helpful for the nurses to perform health education purposefully and pertinently.The criteria are also applicable clinically for the nursing administers to carry out health education assessment.

Objective To understand the status of Toxoplasma gondii(TOX)infection in pregnant women in Qingdao area. Methods Antibody capture ELISA was used to detect the TOX-IgM,IgG and TOX-DNA in 1 341 pregnant women and 201 infer-tility,miscarriage,stillbirth pregnant women from June 2011 to July 2013. Results Among 201 abnormal pregnant women,43 cases were TOX antibody positive,accounting for 22.39%,and among the normal pregnant women,84 cases were TOX antibody positive,accounting for 6.26%,and there was a significant difference(χ2 =10.60,P<0.05). The TOX positive rate of 20-29 years old women was higher than that of the women aged over 30 years(χ2=21.9,P<0.05). The TOX antibody positive rates of families with pets and families without pets were 26.63%and 8.77%respectively(χ2=10.93,P<0.05). The TOX antibody posi-tive rates were 10.94%(22/201)in unemployed women,3.98%(8/201)in farmers,3.98%(8/201)in staff,and 3.48%(7/201)in workers. Conclusions The TOX infection rate in abnormal pregnant women is significantly higher than that in normal pregnancy women;therefore,the health education should be strengthened. In addition,in young women,especially 20-29 years old women, and some special occupation women,the control measures should be enhanced.
