The paper is focused on the clinical applications of Tanreqing injection after listing, detecting and analyzing the related blood indicators of patients with allergic reactions based on prospective, multi-center, large sample, registration-type clinical safety monitoring nested case-control study (NCCS) to explore the possible mechanisms of allergic reaction of Tanreqing injection, 3 006 patients cases used with Tanreqing injection were monitored, including 3 cases of adverse reactions and 2 cases of allergic reactions. Each patient of allergic reactions, according to the ratio of 1:4 matches four cases of not adverse reactions as a control group of patients, while 5 healthy and 5 cases of volunteers into the healthy group. We examined the correlation detection of cases of allergic reactions among groups such as T-IgE, IgA, IgG, C3, C4, IFN-g, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10. Allergic reactions of Tanreqing injection may be mediated by IgE as type I based on existing research data. This results and conclusions will promote the justifiability and safety of clinical applications.

Objective To evaluate the applicability of activated charcoal in treatment of oral poisoning. Methods The feasibility of clinical manipulation and tastiness of 4 forms of activated charcoal were investigated, with different dosage forms in 35 nurses and 50 volunteers, respectively. The feasibility of the clinical manipulation was assessed by gastrelavage time and block numbers of stomach duet,and the tastiness by volunteers' taking orally. Results The gastrolavage time (151.8±17.8) s for powder, (96.9±24.80) s for suspension, (319.0±82.4) s for tablet and (314.3±93.3) s for suspension(P <0.001). Conclusion There are significant differences in the applicability of activated charcoal in different dosage forms. The suspension is the best form in feasibility. Capsule and tablet are better than powder and suspension in tastiness. Suspension and powder are the worst to accept.

Objective To evaluate endoluminal repair and preoperative management for acute Standford type B aortic dissection complicating massive hydrothorax. Methods The clinical data of 27 patients (23 males, 4 females) hospitalized from January 2003 to December 2008 were analysed retrospectively. The average age was 47 ±9 years (35 ～70). Eleven patients had bilateral huge hydrothorax (40. 7% ) , while 13 had left hydrothorax (48. 1% ) and 3 had right hydrothorax (11. 1% ) only, and in 2 of them with additional pericardial effusion (7.4% ). SaO2 was below 90% in all cases. All patients underwent emergency endovascular repair. For control of massive hydrothorax found by CT or chest fluoroscopy, puncture drainage or tube drainage were administrated postoperatively. Results All the 27 operations were successful, and there was no perioperative mortality. Three type Ⅰ and one type Ⅳ endoleaks occurred but disappeared in one month. Hydrothorax disappeared 28 days to 3 months postoperatively in all patients, of which 5 cases had puncture drainage (18.5%) and 1 case had tube drainage ( 3. 7% ). Mean follow-up was 30 ± 20 m ( 6 ～ 78 m ) after endovascular management. Complications included pleural thickening (6 of 27, 22. 2% ) , pulmonary atelectasis (2 of 27, 7. 4% ) , and lung consolidation combined with chest dent (2 of 27, 7. 4% ). Conclusions Emergency endovascular therapy is safe and effective for acute Stanford type B aortic dissection with massive hydrothorax. Drainage of hydrothorax after stent-graft deployment is a must for the patient suffering from severe respiratory failure.

Regarding the needling manipulation, Chifeng Yingyuan, there are different descriptions in ancient medical literature and the current teaching materials or clinical reports, especially for the understanding recorded in Jinzhenfu Poem of Golden Needle). In the current teaching materials and clinical reports, it is described that the needle is inserted deeply at first, and then shallowly; afterward, the needle tip is pushed to the middle layer and manipulated with lifting, thrusting and rotating technique, combined with twisting and flying method. After analyzing the original description in the book and the feasibility of function and operation, the authors introduced their recognition on its manipulation and techniques in this article. This manipulation should be: the needle is inserted to the middle layer, afterward, the needle body is pulled and tilted toward each of the four directions, on this basis, then twisting and flying method is applied.

Objective To observe the long term effects of arthroscopic knee debridement and reconstructing operation for treating osteoarthritis in patients with Kaschin-Beck disease. Methods Thirty-one cases of patients with Kaschin-Beck disease were followed for 6 years after operation of articular clearing by arthroscope. Index of pain, symptoms of self-evaluation, range of motion, walking distance, standing test by affected leg when bending at 30° or 60° were recorded and compared with the preoperative results. Results Twenty-four cases were followed up for 6 years. Six years after operation the pain index(3.38 ± 2.87) was dramatically decreased compared to that before operation (6.88 ± 1.45, t = 5.30, P ＜ 0.05). Patients symptoms markedly improved by subjective self-evaluation was 70.83% (17/24), the effective rate was 100% (24/24). The number of cases that could stand up when leg bending at 30° or 60° were 21,18 cases, respectively, compared with that of preoperative of 14, 11 cases, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(x2 = 5.17,4.27, all P ＜ 0.05). Six years after operation the walking distance(3 cases ＜ 1 km, 11 cases 1 - 5 km and 10 cases ＞ 5 km) were greatly improved compared to the results before operation (12 cases ＜ 1 km, 9 cases 1 - 5 km and 3 cases ＞ 5 km, U = 2.88, P ＜0.05). Six years after operation the knee activity[(132.25 ± 14.52)°] remained at the same level, compared with that of preoperative [(131 .58 ± 14.68) °], the difference was not statistically significant (t = 0.16, P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusions The method of arthroscopic joint debridement to cure Kaschin-Beck disease knee osteoarthritis can significantly reduce pain, improve function and walking distance, with more stable long-term satisfactory outcome.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism of 32P colloid induced apoptosis of craniopharyngi-oma (CP) cells in vitro and the relationship between dose effect and time effect. Methods:This study established a primary cell culture of CP limited subculture cell line. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to plot the cell survival curve after the CP cells were treated with 32P colloid at different concentrations and time. Apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry(FCM). Apoptosis related DNA was investigated by TUNEL fluorescent staining. The morphological characteristics of apoptotic cells were determined by Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining. The ultrastructure of apoptotic cells was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results:Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining, TUNEL fluorescence staining, and TEM revealed that 32P colloid induced the apoptosis of CP cells. 32P colloid reduced the survival rate and increased the apoptotic rate of CP cells as concentration (0 MBq/mL to 14.80 MBq/mL) and time (1 d to 14 d) were increased. Conclusion: 32P colloid could effectively inhibit the growth of CP cells and induce apoptosis in vitro. High concentrations and prolonged time could induce a remarkable effect.

To explore the growth and development and analyze the quality of the parthenocarpy fruit induced by exogenous hormones of Siraitia grosvenorii. the horizontal and vertical diameter, volume of the fruit were respectively measured by morphological and the content of endogenous hormones were determined by ELISA. The size and seed and content of mogrosides of mature fruit were determined. The results showed that the fruit of parthenocarpy was seedless and its growth and development is similar to the diploid fruit by hand pollination and triploid fruit by hand pollination or hormones. But the absolute value of horizontal and vertical diameter, volume of parthenocarpy fruit was less than those of fruit by hand pollination, while triploid was opposite. The content of IAA, ABA and ratio of ABA/GA was obviously wavy. At 0-30 d the content of IAA and ABA of parthenocarpy fruit first reduced then increased, content of IAA and GA parthenocarpy fruit was higher than that of fruit by hand pollination. Mogrosides of parthenocarpy fruit was close to pollination fruit. Hormones can induce S. grosvenorii parthenocarpy to get seedless fruit and the fruit shape and size and quality is close to normal diploid fruit by hand pollination and better than triploid fruit by hormone or hand pollination.
