Background and purpose:There is an increasing of breast diseases every year. It is important for us to detect the tumor characteristic and to establish the diagnosis of breast diseases through their clinical manifestation and pathology.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 864 cases of breast diseases after surgical operation,was made in our hospital, from 2000 to 2006.Results:85.7% of 864 cases were fibro benign diseases, and most of them were fibro cystic hyperplasia and fibroadenoma of breast.Malignant disease was found 123 cases, and most of them were invasive ductal carcinoma, then medullary carcinoma and early infiltrating carcinoma.It is significant that the youngest age from 30 years old and the incidence rate increased with the age.Conclusions:It is very important to promate the diagnosis rate of breast carcinoma by early prevention and treatment to screen breast diseases and monitor high risk population in time.

Objective To investigate the role of resting pulm on ary function (FEV 1,FVC,VC) and diffusing capacity (D LCO) on exercise limitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods During the period of 2002-04~12 the results of resting pulmonary function test which were and diffusing capacity test performed on 26 subjects with stable COPD were reviewed.The symptom-limited maximum exercise (S LME) were performed.Dyspnea index (DI) and oxygen consumption (V? O 2/kg) were determined with a metabolic cart during exercise.Borg Scale s (BS) was used for counting degree of exertional dyspnea which appeared during exercise.At the end of SLME,arterial blood gas analysis was performed to determi ne PaO 2max,PaCO 2max and Phmax at that time.Results In stepwise multiple regression analysis,the variables significantly contributing to V?O 2max/kg were D LCO % and FEV 1/VC.Conclusion Lung function and diffusing capacity can be importan t determinants of exercise capacity in COPD.

Objective To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types of functional dyspepsia (FD) in Guangzhou, and to explore their correlation with some factors such as residence time in Guangzhou, gender, age, and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. Methods A total of 326 cases of FD patients from Guangzhou were investigated. Database of the related clinical data was built and analyzed. Results The commonly-seen TCM syndrome types of FD patients in Guangzhou were spleen-deficiency and qi stagnation, disharmony of liver and stomach, dampness-heat of spleen and stomach, deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach, and concurrence of cold and heat, accounting for 41.71%, 26.07%, 11.96%, 11.04% and 9.20%, respectively. There were significant differences among the TCM syndromes(P < 0.05). The differences of average age of onset, residence time in Guangzhou, FD subtypes and Hp infection were significant among each syndrome type (P < 0.05). Conclusion The distribution of TCM syndrome types of FD in Guangzhou is dominated by spleen-deficiency and qi stagnation, and the syndrome types are correlated with residence time in Guangzhou, gender, average age of onset, FD subtypes, and Hp infection.

Objective To introduce three new methods for measuring breast volume. Methods The breast volume was measured and the 3D image yielded with a special software or calculated with two mathematical formulas, according to its base, horizontal and saggital sections. Results The average deviations of these protocols were less than 10 % of the actual sizes in our investigation. Conclusion The computer aided measurement for the volume of the breast is an accurate and reliable method and can be used in the designs for augmentation and reduction of mammaplasty.

Objective To investigate the distribution of the mini mental status examination in the elderly Methods Totally 3 776 residents aged 55 years or over serving as samples in the urban and rural areas of Lhasa city, from August to December in 2001 were studied A residential area and a door to door general sampling procedures were used in this study, respectively Mini mental status examination (MMSE) and a activity of daily living scale (ADL) were used as screening methods for dementia Results The distribution of lower scores in such examination in middle elderly people, in Lhasa city was 7 2%, in which, males were 9 3% and femals, 6 3% Conclusion The results of lower scores in the mini mental status examination were similar to those reporting from inland cities, but there appear some what differences in distributions of ages, educational levels and sexes from Tibetan, which may be due to their special location and living habits

Objective:To investigate the effect of Yishen Bunao Tablet on Alzheimer's Disease(AD).Methods:91 cases of AD were randomly divided into a treatment group(n=46)treated with Yishen Bunao Tablet and a control group(n=45)treated with huperzine A. Their clinical therapeutic effects,changes of superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,malondialdehyde(MDA)and nitric oxide(NO) contents before and after treatment were determined.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in the total therapeutic effect;After treatment,the scores for language comprehend and order obey in the treatment group increased significantly(P0.05).SOD activity increased significantly,and contents of MDA and NO decreased significantly in the control group(P

The effects of thy rotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on survival time, hemodynamics, acid-base balance and subcellular structure of liver cells in canine severe hemorrhagic shock were studied. The results showed that: (1) TRH significantly elevated and maintained mean arterial pressure (MAP) of dogs during shock (MAP was 13.99 ? 0.62 kPa at 4 h after treatment vs 5.09? 105 kPa in control); (2) TRH significantly prolonged the survival time of dogs (alive/total = 4/5 vs 1/5); (3) TRH effectively maintained acid-base balance; and (4) TRH maintained the integrity of subcellular structure of the liver cells. These results suggest that TRH may reverse severe hemorrhagic shock.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the change of blood flow in exceedingly expanded skin and the viability of the flaps. Methods In 21 expansions of 10 patients, the skin blood flow and its amplitude were measured by laser Doppler in different stages. The results were compared with the final outcomes of patients. Results The volume of blood flow and its amplitude of normal skin were very low and stable, but after expanded, the volume of blood flow and the amplitude grew up, which were significantly higher than that of normal skin (P

This article began from the characteristic and research method of the syndrome in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)and proteomics,analyzed the superiority and the feasibility of introduction of proteomics into the study of syndrome essence.The author thought that proteome and syndrome in TCM were amazing similar in the aspects of integrity,developments,space and complexity,there was maybe some kind of inner link and the corresponding relations between them.Therefore, the proteomics had the special superiority when it was compared with the general microscopic parameter in study of syndrome essence,also even more accord with the characteristics of syndrome in itself.This article also generalized the research achievement of syndromic proteomics in TCM in recent years from the aspects of specification,thought and method,the relativity of concrete syndrome type and proteome.This article demonstrated the magnificent prospect of proteomics in the study of the syndrome essence of the TCM.
