Objective To compare the long-term effects between procedurefor prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH) and Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy( MMH ) in the treatment of Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree of hemorrhoids. Method The clinical data of 43 cases with Ⅲ and Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids received PPH (PPH group)and 71 cases received MMH (MMH group) were analyzed retrospectively from October 2001 to July 2003. Results Late bleeding in 5 cases of PPH group and no one of MMH group (P ＜0.05).Hemorrhoidal recurrence prolapsed in 9 cases of PPH group and 5 cases of MMH group (P ＜ 0.05). The rectal neck pressure preoperative,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were (122.0 ± 11.3), (90.0 ± 10.4),(103.0 ± 13.8) and (113.0 ± 11.2) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa) of PPH group,after 6 months was decreased obviously than preoperative (P＜0.05),and they were ( 126.0 ± 13.5), (91.0 ± 12.4), (78.0 ±9.8) and (81.0 ± 7.5 ) cm H2O of MMH group,after 6 months, 1 year and 3 years were decreased obviously than preoperative (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion PPH is safety and effect at short time,but it brings more late bleeding and anal pain,and its rate of prospective hemorrhoidal recurrence is more higher than MMH.

BACKGROUND: Because the continuity and integrity of the trachea are likely damaged to some extent after tracheostomy, the implementation of sequential ventilation has certain difficulties, and sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilation on patients after tracheostomy is less common in practice. The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of invasive-noninvasive sequential weaning strategy in patients after tracheostomy. METHODS: Fifty patients including 24 patients with withdrawal of mechanical ventilation (conventional group) and 26 patients with sequential invasive-noninvasive weaning by directly plugging of tracheostomy (sequential group) were analyzed retrospectively after appearance of pulmonary infection control (PIC) window. The analysis of arterial blood gases, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence, the total duration of mechanical ventilation, the success rate of weaning and total cost of hospitalization were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Arterial blood gas analysis showed that the sequential weaning group was better than the conventional weaning group 1 and 24 hours after invasive ventilation. The VAP incidence was lowered, the duration of mechanical ventilation shortened, the success rate of weaning increased, and the total cost of hospitalization decreased. CONCLUSION: Sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilator weaning is feasible in patients after tracheostomy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protection mechanism of volatile oil of Magnolia biondii Pamp. (VOMBP) against diabetic nephropathy in rats by observing its effects on level of soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) in serum and expression of P-selectin in renal tissue. METHODS: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, untreated group, and low-, medium- and high-dose VOMBP-treated group. Diabetic nephropathy was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of 1% streptozotocin. Before and the 1st day, 4th, 8th and 12th week after the induction, random blood glucose (RBG) and 24-hour urinary micro-albumin were detected in different groups. At the 12th week, the rats were sacrificed to collect the blood samples and renal tissues. The contents of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were detected and the pathological change in renal tissues was observed by light microscope; the level of sP-selectin was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the expression of P-selectin protein in renal tissues was measured by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, RBG, 24-hour urinary micro-albumin, the contents of BUN, sP-selectin in serum and expression of P-selectin protein in renal tissue in the untreated group were significantly increased (P<0.01), the content of SCr was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and pathological change of renal tissues was also obvious. Compared with the untreated group, 24-hour urinary micro-albumin, the level of sP-selectin in serum and expression P-selectin protein in renal tissue of the three VOMBP-treated groups were all significantly decreased (P<0.01), and pathological change was lessened too. However, there were no significant differences among the three VOMBP-treated groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: VOMBP can protect the kidney in rats with diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the expressions of P-selectin protein in serum and in renal tissue.

Objective To identify endoscopic and the endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) features of esophageal tuberculosis.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 39 cases (mean age 50.7) of esophageal tuberculosis diagnosed by endoscopy and EUS in past 6 years.Results A total of 29 lesions were found in the middle part of esophagus,and 5 in upper and lower part,respectively.The lesions under endoscope demonstrated as protrusion in 30 and ulceration in 9.EUS found esophageal wall thickness in 9 cases,intra-wall occupying lesion in 17,mediastinum occupying lesions involving esophagus in 13,and calcified lymph nodes in mediastinum which was integrated with esophageal outer wall in 28 cases.Conclusion The esophageal tuberculosis occurs mainly in the middle part of the esophagus,and appears as protrusion and ulceration under endoscopy.EUS can find occupying lesions intra-or out of the esophageal wall,and full layer thickness,which can accompany calcified lymph nodes in meidastinum,and can be the basis of diagnosis.

Objective: To established a method for the quality standard of Yupingfeng Oral Liquid(Radix Astragali, Radix Saposhnikoviae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae). Methods:Radix Astragali, Radix Saposhnikoviae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae in oral liquid were identified by TLC. The content of astragaloside IV was determined by HPLC-ELSD. Results:The study showed that spots of samples on TLC can be well separated and the method had strong specificity. The average recovery was 97.75% and RSD was 1.31%. Conclusion:The method is simple, sensitive and accurate. It can be used for quality control of Yupingfeng Oral Liquid.

Objective To observe the effect of Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula on inflammation reactivation in stable coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods 60 cases with stable CHD were randomly divided into the control group(30 cases,treated with routine therapy)and study group(30 cases,treated with routine therapy plus Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula).Duration was one month.Results There was no significant difference of concentration of CD40L before and after treatment in the control and study groups(P>0.05).There was a significant difference in concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)before and after treatment in the control and study groups(P<0.05).There were significant changes of CD40L and MMP-9 in the study group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Yiqi-huoxue and Huatan formula can decrease serum concentration of CD40L and MMP-9,and inhibit initiation and development of inflammation reactivation,furthermore stable atherosclerotic plaque and reduce coronary events.
