Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the combined therapy of super-laser radiation and plum acupuncture on alopecia areata.Methods Altogether 178 alopecia areata patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:65 patients in the treatment group being given super-laser radiation and plum acupuncture,55 in the control group A solely with super-laser radiation and 58 in the control group B solely with plum acupuncture.The therapeutic effects of the treatment group and the control groups were compared by rank sum test.Results At the end of the 1st treating period,the cured cases,markedly effective cases,ordinary effective cases and invalid cases in control group A were 1,4,10 and 40;those numbers of control group B were 1,3,11 and 43;those numbers of the treatment group were 3,12,14 and 36.At the end of the 2nd treating period,those numbers of control group A were 8,8,16 and 23;those numbers of control group B were 7,8,18 and 25;those numbers of the treatment group were 11,20,19 and 15.At the end of the 3rd treating period,those numbers of A control group were 21,11,12 and 11;those numbers of B control group were 20,14,11 and 13;those numbers of the treatment group were 33,17,10 and 5.Comparing the performance of each groups at the end of the 3 periods,we found that effects were always better in the treatment group than the other two control groups.The difference between the treatment group and the other two control groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions It is effective and safe to use super laser radiation combined plum acupuncture on alopecia areata.The clinical efficacy of this joint method is better than either of the two separate ways.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in aged patients, and to explore the measures of its diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: The clinical data of 100 aged patients (55-85 years old) with SAP admitted from January 2003 to December 2005 were reviewed and compared with those of 221 non-aged SAP patients (11-54 years old) admitted at the same period. RESULTS: Totally 112 times of onset occurred in 100 aged patients, and the main causes for senile SAP were biliary diseases and hyperlipemia. Both acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) and Ranson scores of the aged patients with SAP were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05); while there was no significant difference in Balthazar score between the two groups(P>0.05). The incidences of low serum calcium, low albumin and high aspartate aminotransferase (P<0.05), liver, kidney or brain impairment as well as the mortality were higher in the senile SAP group than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Biliary disease and hyperlipemia are the main causes of senile SAP, which lacks characteristic clinical symptoms and is often associated with multiple complications such as infection and lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, and brain impairment. Individualized differential treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine based on stage classification is an effective approach.

Objective To explore an effective method for enhancing basic clinical skill of students.Methods Selective course of basic clinical skill was launched for the fourth grade clinical medicine students by using simulation-based medical education (SBME).Elective courses have 21 class hours,involving 15 items of basic clinical skills in internal medicine,surgery and nursing.Training methods include preparation,explanation,demonstration,operation,group competition,examination and questionnaire.Selective course examination includes class activation and final examination,accounting for 20％ and 80％ of the final scores,respectively.Scores were classified into A (excellent),B (good) and C (moderate) levels.Scores and questionnaire data were processed by Microsoft Office Excel 2007 software and percentages of score and questionnaire feedback were calculated.Results Results suggested that the scores of 70％ students were more than 90.Results of questionnaire indicated that the basic clinical skills of 76.6％ of the students were improved a lot.79.2％ considered that it was useful for their clinical practices.Conclusion Clinical-skill course based on SBME is conducive to enhancing basic clinical skills of students.

Objective To investigate the relationship of TCRCα-575A/G polymorphism with anti-neutrophil antibody(ANCA) associated vasculitis in Chinese Han population. Methods 86 cases of ANCA associated vasculi-tis in Chinese Han population and 196 healthy subjects were enrolled. TCRCα-575A/G was genotyped by PCR-re-striction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Case-control study was performed. Results No signifi-cant difference was found in either genotype distribution(AA,AG,GG) or allele frequencies between 86 patients and healthy subjects(P>0.05);But significant differences between AA group, AG group, and GG group in systolic pres-sure[(127.47±24.18)、(124.11±25.21)、(148.92±19.23) mm Hg],diastolic pressure [(75.35±14.12)、 (74.50±13.01)、(85.46±9.40) mm Hg],red blood cell count[(3.41±1.01)×109/L、(3.46±1.04)× 109/L、(2.68±0.67)×109/L] and hemoglobin [(90.45±20.69)、(100.66±29.80)、(77.61±15.81) g/L (P<0.05 for each) were found. The patients in GG group had higher blood pressure and more severe anaemia;By following the patients about (16.0±36.8) months,no statistics significance was found between groups with and without chronic renal failure in distributions and genetypes of TCRCα-575A/G (P>0.05 ). Conclusions In Chi-nese Han population,TCRCα-575A/G polymorphism might not be related to genetic susceptibility and chronic renal failure of ANCA associated vaseulitis;but G allele might be associated with more serious anaemia and hypertension.

Objective To study the X-ray signs of forearm and leg in skeletal fluorosis and its diagnostic value,aim at finding the easy examination parts.Methods One thousand four hundred and forty subjects were examined using developed shield,darkroom and other portable dedicated device combined with a small X-ray machine.A total of 384 cases were diagnosed skeletal fluorosis.All patients were divided into different groups and the time,degree and range of X-ray to the forearm and calf elbow,knee,and long bone were compared.Results The X-ray change in the forearm elbow was earlier than that of the leg knee,and trabecular bone change was the earliest indicator,197 cases and 157 cases,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =28.006,P ＜ 0.01).Membrane ossification of forearm backbone was earlier than that of the leg,and most of them were degree Ⅰ photos,213 cases and 126 cases respectively.The difference was statistically significant (x2 =17.626,P ＜ 0.01).The direction of the interosseous membrane ossification was from the forearm radius to the ulna,then to the fibula and tibia,and was accompanied by changes in the aggravation of forearm.A variety of indicators were observed,especially the membrane ossification in bone and joint trabecular bone and the long bone was the most active,and the forearm was more sensitive,obviously than that of the calf.Conclusion In the X-ray screening or detection of endemic fluorosis,the forearm radiography is a simple,economical,and effective diagnostic method.

To explore the optimized dispatch of the rescue resources based on the mastered resources informa-tion. The objective function was set as the shortest rescue time, and 0-1 programming models were established and solved for the conditions that the number of medical rescue units was more or less than needed by the missions. In the two conditions, the model's calculated results were both optimal, and could be used to obtain the optimal dispatch solutions while the medical rescue time was the shortest. The 0-1 programming model can be effectively used to optimize dispatch strategy for medical rescue team.

Liquid chip technology have been licensed to be used in clinic because of its advantage of high-throughput, high-sensitivity, good signal to noise ratio, reaction in liquid phase, convenient operation and short time consuming, etc. The optimization of a liquid chip system for the detection of serum biomarkers of colorectal tumour and initial application in the detection of CEA were studied. The optimized reaction conditions of liquid chip were determined through orthogonal design after it was prepared. The results showed that the consuming reaction time of the coated antibody and the antigen was 1hour. The microspheres, biotinylated detecion antibody and the consuming complexes and avidin-PE time of the microspheres and the biotinylated tested antibody was 1hour, 1hour and 15minutes respectively.the consuming time of the complexes and avidin-PE was fifteen minutes, The optimized dilution of the biotinylated tested detection antibody was 1∶300 and the optimized concentration of avidin-PE was 12?g/ml. Totally 55 clinical samples were detected by the liquid chip and by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) simultaneously and the results of the two methods were compared. The results of the two methods showed good correlation between positive and negative samples but the detection limits and the dynamic ranges of the liquid chip method were more sensitive and wider than those of the ELISA. The multiple tumour biomarkers may be detected simultaneously and the time of clinical test and manpower requirements were reduced by the liquid chip method.
