Objective To investigate the estrogen receptor expression character on neurons and glial cells of rat at different ages. Methods Brain sections from normal and injured rats of different ages were chosen to observe the ER immunohistochemistry reaction in cerebrum. Results To compare with normal young rat group,the neurons in hippocampus dentate gyrus of normal aged rat group expressed much less estrogen receptors.There were many ER-positive glial cells appearing in hippocampus of brain injured was rat group,and the positive strain of young injured was much stronger than that of aged rat group.Conclusion The decrease of ER on neurons in dentate gyrus makes the aged more apt to neurodegeneration.The young rats may better utilize the neuroprotection of estrogen against injuries by increasing the amount of ER on glial cells.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the craniocerebral magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) in adult moyamoya disease.Methods 20 adult patients with Moyamoya disease were examined by DSA,MRI and MRA.Results DSA showed that the ending of internal carotid artery system were stenosis or occlution,and the fog-like blood vessel networks at base of skull were observed in the 20 patients.By MRI,the cerebral ischemical changes were found in 11 cases,intracerebral hamrrahge was found in 9 cases.MRA showed that cerebral artery were stenosis or obstruction in all of the 20 patients,16 cases(80%) with the fog-like blood vessel net in the thalamus-basal ganglia region.The detectable rate of abnormal cerebral basal vascular network was no statistical difference between DSA and MRA.Conclusions MRA can provide more information of cerebral artery straitness or obstruction and fog-like blood vessel net in the adult patients with Moyamoya disease,and without hammerless.MRA has a very importent value of diagnosis in the adult moyamoya disease.

Objective To summarize the nursing experience for three cases of above 1-month-oldinfants with total transposition of the great artery after Switch operation.Methods The vital signs of the infants were monitored,including the respiratory system,circulation system,temperature,urine quantity,feeding and delayed sternal closure.Appropriate measures were adopted to cope with changes in the above mentioned aspects.Results All the 3 infants were cured with good nursing effect.Conclusion Switch operation was a complicated operation.The 3 infants missed the-optimum operation time and left great difficulty for nursing.Close monitoring and delicate nursing proved to be the pivotal process to ensure the successful curement.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations of toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) and its rare pulmonary complications.Methods Clinical symptoms,treatment and prognosis of 1 child with TEN caused by carbamazepine were analyzed.Radiological images were reviewed to evaluate the manifestations and the outcome of chronic pulmonary complications associated with TEN.Results The patient had high fever shortly after a dosage increment of carbamazepine.A confluent erythematous exanthema developed rapidly into painful blistering with skin erosion,denudation and involvement of conjunctive and oropharyngeal mucosa.The diagnosis of TEN was made.The mucocutaneous damage was gradually recovered with steroid plus intravenous immunoglobulin for 3 weeks.However,the patient presented with respiratory failure in the recovery phase of TEN.The computer tomography revealed pulmonary bullae and pneumothorax in the right lung.Lung parenchyma was squeezed and pulmonary bullae ruptured with pneumothorax and atelectasis,which were absorbed gradually through thoracic drainages.The patient′s lung function and pulmonary bullae were partly improved during a 7-month follow-up.Conclusions TEN is a severe form of blistering skin di-sease which is characterized by an extensive loss of epidermis and mucous membrane.Chronic pulmonary complications may occur in recovery phase of TEN.Pulmonary bullae,which might be caused by mucous damage and respiratory obstruction,is a rare complication of TEN.

Personalized information service has become an important interest in medical library due to the rapid development of Internet technology. The SOA framework-based personalized information service system architecture was proposed by analyzing the contents and characteristics of personalized information service in medical library, which is characterized by standards, loose couple, low cost modification and operating maintenance, and can thus ensure both personalized information service and daily professional activities in medical library.

AIM: To establish the HPLC fingerprints of semen Trigonellae processed with salt-water.(METHODS:)HPLC analysis was performed on a phenomenex Hydro-RP 80A(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 ?m) with mobile phase acetonitrile-water under isocratic and gradient elutions,and detection wavelength was 211nm,the flow rate was 1 mL/min,column temperature was 40 ℃. RESULTS: HPLC fingerprint of 17 main peaks was separated.It was found that the preparative HPLC of standardized processing saline semen Trigonellae from different places have no significant differences. CONCLUSION: The method is reliable,accurate and can be used for quality control of saline semen Trigonellae.
