As the patient of hepatitis B and E overlapping infection of liver and gallbladder damp - heat type compared with the patient of simple hepatitis E of liver and gallbladder damp-heat type, attack was very rapid, jaundice exacerbated progressively and hepatic function damaged severely. Aftertreatment the state of illness restored more slowly and the duration of illness was obviously prolonged. At the same time, it was found that the biochemical indexes (hyaluronic acid, total bile acid) increased significantly at acute stage, and the indexes in the patient of overlapping infection in the time for recovering normality at restoration stage was longer than that in the patient of simple hepatitis E, with a significantly difference between the two groups. It is indicated that lesion of the liver in the patient of overlapping infection of hepatitis B and E was more severe than the simple hepatitis E, with no good prognosis.

Three hundred cases of E type viral hepatitis were observed with 100 cases of A type as control. We held that the etiology and pathogenesisof E and A types of viral hepatitis were wind, dampness, heat, poisons and stasis, each with its predominance; For A type, its predominant etiology being wind, heat and stasis, while that of E type, dampness, poisons and stasis. For their therapy, the principle of "similar treatment for different diseases " should, adopted. After treatment, ACT, TB, and a markedly decreased, signs and symptoms markedly improved, Epr, IgG also improved to different extents, the cured rate ( rate of negative virus exam) being 80% and 78% for A type and E type respectively. The effect was especially good for simple infection, and rather poor for mixed infection type.

Objective To explore the expression of the Merlin protein in normal cervix and cervical can-cer of the Han,Tibetan and Hui nationalities in Qinghai. Methods Immunohisto-chemical staining was per-formed to detect the expression of Merlin in 108 cases of cervical carcinoma(40 cases of Han,38 cases of Tibetan and 30 cases of Hui nationality)and 107 cases of normal cervix(40 cases of Han,37 cases of Tibetan and 30 cas-es of Hui nationality). Results The positive expression rates of Merlin in normal cervix were 90.0%,91.9%and 86.7%respectively and those in cervical carcinoma were 17.5%,18.4%and 16.7%respectively. There was signifi-cantly statistical difference(P<0.05). However,there was no significant difference in the positive rates of Merlin between cervical carcinoma among different ethnic groups(P>0.05). The expression of Merlin was not correlated with age,FIGO stage,lymph metastasis and cell differentiation(P > 0.05)in cervical carcinoma of three ethnic groups. Conclusion The decrease or even deletion of Merlin may be involved in the development of cervical can-cer,and it plays an important role in cervical cancer. The expression of Merlin exerts no effect on the occurrence of cervical cancer and it is not associated with the clinical characteristics of the patients ,suggesting that it may not be involved in the invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer.

Objective To evaluate the correlation of ADC values on 3.0 T MR with the pathological grades in pT1b clear cell renal cell carcinoma(CCRCC).Methods Conventional MR images,ADC values and Fuhrman pathological grading of pT1b CCRCC were performed in 30 patients.Grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ were defined as low-grade group; grade Ⅲ and IV were defined as high-grade group.The differences of ADC values among four different pathologic grades were compared with a one-way analysis of variance. The comparison of ADC values of two different grade groups was performed with t test,and the ROC curve was performed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ADC value. Correlation between pathological gradings and ADC values was assessed with Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results ( 1 ) The mean ADC value of grading Ⅰ ( 10 patients ), Ⅱ ( 8 patients ),Ⅲ ( 7 patients ),IV ( 5 patients ) was ( 0.94 ± 0.11 ) ×10-3 mm2/s,(0.82 ±0.13) × 10-3 mm2/s,(0.68 ±0.09) × 10-3 mm2/s,(0.59 ±0.03) × 10-3 mm2/s,respectively.Significant differences of ADC values among the four grades were present (F =16.422,P =0.000 ).( 2 ) The mean ADC value of the low-grade group was significantly higher than that of the high-grade group(t =5.738,P =0.000).Sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing the low-grade group was 88.9% and 83.3% respectively.There was a negative correlation between pathological grading and ADC value ( r =-0.807,P < 0.05). Conclusions The ADC values of pT1b CCRCC have close correlation with pathological gradings.They can be used to predict the degree of tumor malignancy preoperatively and guide surgical planning.
