Adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in pleural fluid from 81 patients was measured by colorime-tric method. Of these cases, 55 cases were tuberculous pleural effusion, 22 cases were malignant pleura! effusion and 4 cases were transudate pleural effusion.The mean ADA, activity in pleural fluid of tuberculous group was 188.3?58.2u and that of malignant group was 52. 2?15. 4u. Statistically the difference is highly significant (p0.05). In tuberculous group, pleural fluid ADA levels higher than 110u were found in 53. cases (96.3%), and those above 120u were found in 52 cases (94.5%), while no case in malignat group had the ADA level higher than 90u, and in 20 cases it is lower than 70u (20/22 cases, 90.9%). These data suggest that pleural fluid ADA activity may be a useful index in the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusions.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopic pelvic adhesiolysis (THLPA) treatment in the infertile women.Methods From May 2007 to Sep.2008,30 infertile patients underwent THLPA.The dye-test,hysteroscopy,and dye-test using catheterization of tubal ostium by hysteroscopy were performed at the same time.Pelvic adhesions were scored according to the revised American Fertility Society classification of endometriosis (1985).The adhesions were graded as mild (score 1-9),moderate (10-19),and severe (≥20).Twenty-four cases were in mild adhesions,5 moderate adhesions,and 1 severe adhesion.The duration of the operation and discharge,pelvic adhesions score,tubal patency,complications,and pregnancy rate were investigated.Results (1) THPLA:the majority of pelvic adhesions in all patients were successfully performed adhesiolysis.Only a little filmy adhesions of proximal peritube of 7 tubes and proper ligament of 5 ovaries and cohesive adhesions of 4 ovaries did not underwent surgical lysis.(2) Tubal patency:35 tubes were of proximal occlusion by dye-test,of which 21 (60%,21/35) were unobstructed and 4 (11%,4/35) were partly unobstructed after the dye-test using catheterization of the tubal ostium by hysteroscopy.(3) The duration of operation:the overall operative time were (32±6) minutes in mild adhesion,(52± 6) minutes in moderate adhesion,and 83 minutes in severe adhesion.Of which the time of THLPA were (11±5) minutes in mild adhesion,(35±7)minutes in moderate adhesion,and 62 minutes in severe adhesion,respectively.(4)The duration of discharge:the postoperative discharge time was 120-175 minutes.No complications occurred.(5)The rate of pregnancy:in the (15.8±4.3) months' follow-up,the rate of pregnancy was 45% (13/29),which one patient lost follow-up.Conclusions THLPA is safe,efficacious and not being hospitalized management.When compared with laparoscopy,it is simpler,more economic,and less minimally invasive approach.The appropriate indication of THLPA is to treat filmy,especially mild pelvic adhesions.It could partly avoid transabdominal operative laparoscopy for the infertile women.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of nicorandil on microvascular angina pectoris (MAP). Methods: A total of 60 MAP patients were randomly divided into nicorandil group (n=30) and routine treatment group (n=30), and they were treated for 12 weeks. Onset times and duration of angina pectoris, changes of related parameters of ECG treadmill exercise test before and after treatment, and total effective rate were compared between two groups. Results: Compared with before treatment, there were significant reductions in onset times and duration of angina pectoris and maximum depression extent of ST segment (P<0.05 or <0.01) and significant increase in total exercise time (P<0.01) after treatment in both groups; compared with routine treatment group, there were significant reductions in onset times of angina pectoris [(10.3±1.6) times/week vs. (9.6±1.7) times/week] and maximum depression of ST segment [(0.8±0.3)mm vs. (0.6±0.2)mm], and significant increase in total exercise time [(7.8±1.4) min vs. (9.4±1.6) min] and total effective rate (73.3% vs. 93.3%) in nicorandil group, P<0.05 or <0.01. Conclusion: Nicorandil possesses significant therapeutic effect on microvascular angina pectoris, and it is worth further study.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is a serine/threonine kinase.Several signaling pathways,such as growth factors and Wnts,inhibit the GSK3β activity,thereby it promotes cell survival At the time of cerebral ischemia,with the changes of the phosphorylated GSK3β level,its upstream and downstream phosphorylation levels also change.Ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning may induce cerebral ischemic tolerance by regulating the GSK3β signaling pathway.
