To investigate the protective effects of OLA-PENa on experimental hepatic injury in rats and compare it with OLA in the dose-response relationships. METHODS: Biochemical indexes and histopathological examination of hepatic injury in rats caused by toxicant chemicals ［D-galactosamine (D-Galn) and CCl4］ were determined. RESULTS: OLA-PENa obviously inhibited the rising of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) caused by D-Galn and CCl4 and dramatically decreased liver fat storage as well in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological examination showed that OLA-PENa can evidently alleviate the condition of the degeneration of hepatic cells and that of necrosis. CONCLUSION: The protective effects of OLA-PENa on experimental liver injury in rats, all the mentioned effects, are more powerful than those of OLA with the same dosage.

To investigate the effect of preceding naloxone injection into the third cerebroventricle or acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy on the gastric acid secretion inhibited by the somatostatin analogue octreotide given by intracerebroventricular (icv) injection. The third ventricles were cannulated in male Wistar rats anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. One week later, acute gastric lumen perfusion was carried out. The gastric perfusion samples were collected every 10 min and were titrated by 0.01 mol/L NaOH to neuter. On the basis of subcutaneous injection of pentagastrin (G-5, 160 micro, g/kg), icv injection of physiological saline (group A, n = 20), icv injection of octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group B, n = 20), icv injection of naloxone (2.5 micro g)+octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group C, n = 20), acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy+ icv injection of physiological saline (group D, n = 20), or acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy+icv injection of octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group E, n = 20) were conducted. Before and after icv injection, 1-h total acid output (TAO) was determined and compared. The experimental data were expressed in change rate (%) of TAO. The change rates (%) of TAO were 4.60% in group A, -20.35% in group B, -18.06% in group C, 5.01% in group D and -21.59% in group E, respectively. Comparison of group B or C versus group A showed that P < 0.01 and comparison between the group E versus group D showed that P < 0.01. Whereas the differences between group C and group B, group E and group B were not statistically significant (P > 0.05 for all). The results indicate that the central inhibition of gastric acid secretion by octreotide may not be mediated by the endogenous opiate substance or its receptor and the peripheral pathway for icv injection of octreotide to suppress gastric acid secretion is via extra-vagus route.

Objective To investigate the application value of real clinical case centered situation simulation examination model in clinical medicine. Methods Two classes were randomly selected from 2008 grade clinical medicine majors, respectively as test group(n=158) and control group(n=156). Final examination of test group includes usual performance, case-oriented situation simulation examination (COSSE) and final written examination. Traditional methods were used in control group. The same paper was used in final written examination of the two groups. Scores of written examination and question-naires were used to evaluate the COSSE model. Data were processed using SPSS 16.0 statistical software;t and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data;P<0.05 signifies that the difference is statistically sig-nificant. Results Scores of final examination in test group were higher than those in control group(P<0.001). Times of independent completion of history taking, physical examinations and medical record writing were more in test group than in control group(P=0.002,0.017,0.048). Conclusions Contents and methods of COSSE is conducive to improving student's professional comprehensive ability.

Objective To evaluate the strictness and self-consistency of the charge nurses in the nurses examination using venipunctnre trocar operation as research object.Methods FACETS,the polyhedral Rasch software was used in the examination.Results The strictness and self-consistency of charge nurses were evidently different.Conclusions The variable strictness and self-consistency of the charge nurses in the examination leads to unreliability of the results.Developing a scientific and reliable evaluation system is essential to improve the ability of the teaching nurses and the student nurses as well as the hospital nursing quality.

AIM: To study the development laws between isokinetic muscle strength and age increase via test flexion and extension muscle of knee joints in 216 ordinary juvenile boys aged from 9 to 20. METHODS: Kinitech isokinetic strength test was used to study the flexion and extension muscle of both sides’ knee joints at the speed of 60 (?)/s. RESULTS: The peak torque of muscles increased with the increasing ages, especially in extension muscles, which is bigger than flexion muscles (P 0.05). The ratio of flexion and extension muscles (F/E) decreased with age increasing, which a larger fluctuation during aged 9-13, especially obvious had decreased in 13-20 ages. CONCLUSION: The muscle strength and power all increases with the increasing ages, while the F/E value decrease in 9-20 boys, which demonstrates the flexion and extension muscle developed out of balance.

Objective To observe the curative effect of clinically equivalent doses of Xuesaitong and ginaton injections on cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury of rats.Methods Male rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal control group,sham-operation group,model control group,Xuesaitong group and ginaton group.The cerebral ischemia rat model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Rats in the Xuesaitong group were given 20 mg·kg-1 of Xuesaitong injection,and rats in the ginaton group were intravenously injected with 7.5 mg· kg-1of ginaton immediately after I/R injury and once daily for 7 days.Rats in the sham-operation group and model control group were given the same volume of 0.9％ sodium chloride solution.The score of ethology,volume of cerebral infarction,mortality,superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA),xanthine oxidase (XOD),nitrogen oxide (NO) and NO synthase (NOS) in seruu were examined.Results Compared with model control group,Xuesaitong and ginaton effectively reduced behavioral score 96 h (P ＜ 0.05),120 h (P＜0.01),144 h (P＜0.01) and 168 h (P＜0.01) after I/R injury,the volume of cerebral infarction 168 h after I/R injury and NO content (P ＜ 0.05).But they had no effects on NOS,SOD,MDA,and XOD contents.Conclusion Curatively injecting Xuesaitong and ginaton can effectively reduce cerebral I/R injury,but no significant difference in curative efficacy is observed between Xuesaitong and ginaton at clinically equivalent doses.

Objective To evaluate the effects of an intervention programme of health education and life style modification on postmenopausal osteoporosis women. Methods A total of 120 postmenopausal osteoporosis women were enrolled in this one-year randomized controlled follow-up study and assigned to the intervention group ( Group A, n = 60) or the control group ( Group B, n = 60). Both groups were treated with alendronate sodium. In Group A, education program was performed once a season in the form of face-to-face consultation or group session. In Group B, no additional intervention was used. The primary outcome was patients' compliance in follow-up. The secondary outcomes were change in bone mineral density (BMD).BMD was measured by dual-X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) on lumbar spine and hip at baseline and 12 months after the intervention. Results After one-year intervention,51 subjects in Group A and 38 in Group B completed the follow-up. Groups A showed better compliance. BMD on lumbar spine and hip was significantly increased in both groups when compared with baseline. The changes of BMD on lumbar (0.042+0.067 vs 0.026±0.070,P=0. O29) or Words region (0.029 +0. 129 vs 0.023±0. 143,P=0. 041 ) showed statistical significance between the two groups. Conclusion For alendronate sodium treatment, health management ensures the effectiveness of the therapy and improves the compliance of the patients.

Objective To analyze the spectrum of underlying diseases in children with transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) through a multi-center and large sample clinical research.Methods Nine hundred and thirty-seven children with TLOC who came from Beijing,Hunan province,Hubei province and Shanghai of China from Aug 1999 to Apr 2011 were recruited in the present study,and then the spectrum of underlying diseases in children with TLOC was analyzed.Results In 937 children with TLOC,903 cases (96.4％ )were children with syncope,34 cases (3.6％) were non-syncope.And in 903 children with syncope,213 cases (23.6％) had vasovagal syncope (VVS) with vasoinhibitory response,46 cases (5.1％ ) had VVS with cardioinhibitory response,112 cases ( 12.4％ ) had VVS with mixed response,268 cases (29.7％ ) had postural tachycardia syndrome,22 cases (2.4％) had orthostatic hypotension,19 cases (2.1％ ) had situational syncope,21 cases (2.3％ ) had cardiogenic syncope,and 202 cases (22.4％ ) had unexplained syncope.Conclusion In children with TLOC,syncope was the most common underlying disease.And in children with syncope,the most common was VVS,followed by postural tachycardia syndrome.In three different hemodynamic patterns of VVS,the most common pattern was VVS vasoinhibitory pattern.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of caleitriol,training on balance and lower extremity muscle strength on fall risk of postmenopausal women with osleoporosis or osteopenia.Methods A total of 200 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia,whose balance test confirmed higher fall risk,were randondy assigned to group A or B.Those of group A received the following intervention:( 1 ) 0.25 μg calcitriol,QD; (2) general information on fall and osteoporosis; (3) balance training; (4) lower extremity muscle strength exercises.Those of group B were only treated with 0.25 μg calcitriol.All the participants were supplemented with 600 mg/d calcium and 125 IU/d vitamin D.Fall index,bone mineral density,serum levels of calcium and phosphorus,and adverse reactions were record.Results After 3 months' intervention,the fall index of both groups was significantly decreased ( group A:t =2.16,P＜0.05 ; group B:t =2.08,P＜0.05 ).After 6 months' intervention,the fall index of both groups went on decreasing,and significant difference of fall index between 6 month and baseline of group A and between group A and group B at 6 months was found.After 1-year intervention,the fall index of group A was further decreased in comparison with group B ( t =2.66,P＜0.05 ).No hypercalcemia occurred during the study period.Conclusion The fall risk of the patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteopenia was reduced after 3 months' intervention.Twelve months' active vitamin D intervention could either reduce the risk of fall or improve bone mineral density.Patient education,balance training and muscle exercise may be effective intervention to reduce fall risk.
