Hydatidosis is the largest parasific disase in human being. The patients often contract hydatidosis in the childhood. The slow growth of hydatid cysts in the organ involved may lead to a protracted course of disease. In the early stage of the diseases, there are no distinct subjecive symptoms. Early diagnosis is difficult by routine examination. The complications of hydatidosis causing serious damage to the organs may often lead to sudden death. It is essential to make an early and correct diagnosis and give treatment. B-mode ultrasonography not only detects the location, dimension and chracteristics of hydatid cysts but also shows the pathological changes of the various complications caused by hydatidosis and faciliates to select the best program of operation. B-mode ulttasonography is the method of choice in the diagnosis of hydatidosis. In this series of 931 patients with hepatic hydatid disease, the diagnostic accuracy rate of B-mode ultrasonography reached 98. 8%.

Objective: To learn law students' understanding of and demand for knowledge of forensic medicine,especially their attitude for autopsy and adjust the teaching reform in forensic medicine.Methods: Investigation was made by anonymous questionnaire in law undergraduates of 1999 and 2000 grades in Law College of Shantou University.Results: Almost all the students considered forensic medicine essential for themselves.The antitheist rate of the students in non-Chaoshan area(75.2%) was higher than that of the students in Chaoshan area(54.2%).57.4% of the students didn't want to join autopsy because of dread without obvious causes.93.3% of them thought that the autopsy should be taken by the legal medical experts.Conclusion: The law students prevalently enjoy the courses of forensic medicine,and they are more interested in the knowledge of forensic pathology.

Objective To discuss the expression and mutation of β-catenin gene in breast carcinoma.Methods 119 breast carcinomas, 72 adenosis of breast tissues and 40 normal breast tissues were studied.Using immunohistochemistry studies to detect the expressions of β-catenin, then analyzing their relationship with the clinicopathological features of breast carcinomas. Gene mutation of β-catenin (exon 3) in 44 cases of breast carcinoma were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then by direct sequencing.ResultsIn 40 cases of normal breast tissues, epithelial cells showed equally strong membranous of β-catenin protein at the cell-cell boundaries. The abnormal rate of β-catenin in breast carcinomas (78.15 %) was much higher than that of adenosis of breast tissues (44.44 %), the significant correlation was found (P<0.01). The abnormal expression of β-catenin was associated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.031). Mutation of β-catenin gene was not detected in 44 cases of breast carcinoma, while the abnormal rate of β-catenin in 44 cases of breast carcinoma was 77.30 %. Conclusionβ-catenin abnormal expression could be considered as an useful marker for determining metastasis and prognosis of human breast carcinoma and for guiding treatment. β-catenin abnormal expression is not caused by β-catenin gene mutation, maybe by other mechanisms. It needs further study.

The paper described the specific measures and results of postoperative complications reporting system, including reporting coverage, methods, deadline, data management, supervision and feedback. In addition, it introduced results of the practice and the positive impact on quality of care and safety management. Based on these, the authors proposed further improvements of the system for the purposes of constant improvement of care and higher medical safety.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to determine the awareness oral medical interns about occupation safety protection of knowledge and to present a scientific basis for perfecting the occupation safety education system and standard protection behavior.
METHODSA self-designed questionnaire that used a retrospective questionnaire survey on 425 stomatological interns, scoring, and statistical analysis of the survey were performed. The questionnaire included occupation safety prevention knowledge, behavior cognitive, and protective behavior, among others.
RESULTSThe questionnaire recovery rate was 100%, and the average scores of the prevention knowledge and behavior cognitive were 4.55 ± 0.91 and 4.40 ± 1.05, respectively. More than 90% interns can conduct the conventional protection, and less than 40% can perform special protection. For the item "occupation safety protection knowledge", the scores of three grade III hospitals were higher than that of stomatological hospitals and second level of first-class hospitals; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). For the items "behavior cognition" and "protective behavior", the scores of the second level of first-class hospitals were lower than those of grade III hospitals and stomatolgical hospitals (P < 0.001). The second level of first-class hospitals was relatively poor in safety protection knowledge, behavioral cognitive, and protection behavior. The average score was higher for than for boys in the three contents, and the average score of interns accepting pre-job training was higher than those rejected; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONThe occupation safety knowledge of oral medical interns is not sufficient, and the protective behavior is poor. Schools and hospitals should strengthen the intern occupation safety and protection education and improve the status of occupation safety behavior.

Objective To investigate the acoustic characteristics of snoring sound in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and with simple snoring. Methods 22 patients with OSAHS and 15 with simple snoring were included in this study. Natural overnight snoring was digitally recorded and portable sleep mo-nitoring was performed simultaneously. 10 snores, which were the 1st snores after 10 cycles of obstructive apnea, from each patient in OSAHS group, and 10 snores from each patient in simple snoring group were analyzed in the time and frequency domains. Results The sound waves of snoring in the two groups exhibited different patterns both in the time and frequency domains. The snoring spectrum of patients with simple snoring showed distinct fun-damental- harmonic structures which were not clear in patients with OSAHS. The central frequency of the patients with OSAHS was higher, and 800 Hz power ratio was lower than those of the patients with simple snoring. In the OSAHS group, the central frequency of the patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS was higher, and 800 Hz power ratio was lower than those of the patients with mild OSAHS. The differences of the two parameters were of statistical significance. Conclusion The snoring sounds in patients with OSAHS and with simple snoring have dif-ferent characteristics in time and frequency domains, indicating that it is feasible to research the OSAHS by way of snore monitoring and analyzing technique.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum uric acid and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods The echocardiography, electrocardiogram, nailfold videocapillaroscopy and laboratory parameters of 62 patients with SSc were retrospectively analyzed . Patients were divided into two groups according to presence of PH . Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17 software . Results Compared to patients without PH , patients with PH had significantly higher serum uric acid levels ( P < 0 . 01 ) , systolic pulmonary arterial pressure ( P < 0 . 01 ) , abnormality of electrocardiogram (P < 0.01), abnormality of nailfold video capillaroscopy and lower serum albunin levels (P < 0.01). Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure had correlation with Serum UA ( r = 0 . 26 , P < 0 . 01 ) as well as serum ablumin (r = -0.28, P < 0.03). Moreover, the mean value of serum UA was significantly different in two ECG groups (P < 0.01) and two nailfold videocapillaroscopy groups (P < 0.01). At the cutoff level of 374 μmol/L, serum uric acid had reasonable accuracy for predicting the presence of PH in SSc patients ( sensitivity 66 . 7% and specificity 84 . 0%) . Conclusion The serum uric acid may be useful as a practicable marker for predict PH in patients with SSc .
