Objective To investigate the effectiveness of choledochoscopy and duodenoscopy in the treatment of residual calculus of the intrahepatic bile duct. Methods Clinical data of 573 cases of choledochoscopy and 36 cases of duodenoscopy from February 1985 to June 2004 were analyzed. Results Stones were completely removed under choledochoscope by way of T-tube sinus tract in 96.02% of patients (507/528) and by way of subcutaneous blind loop in 84.62% of patients (22/26). Percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscope placement was successfully conducted in 84.21% of patients (16/19) and stones were completely removed in 78.95% of the patients (15/19). The success rate of duodenoscopic cholangiography was 91.67% (33/36) and stones were completely removed under duodenoscope in 80.56% of patients (29/36). Conclusions Treatment of residual and recurrent calculus of the intrahepatic bile duct by choledochoscopy and duodenoscopy is effective and convenient.

From the point of view of systems science, human body can be considered as a complex system, and the human health system is a subsystem of it. Systems science conducts investigation in a holistic manner. As a theoretical method, it deals with the operation and evolution of systems from the macroscopic perspective, so this theory is similar to phenomenological theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in methodology. Naturally, numerous theories of systems science can be used in research of the human health systems of TCM. In this paper, the authors introduced synergetics, a theory of modern systems science, and its slaving principle, and in particular, analyzed the concept of order parameters related to the slaving principle and the relationship between body constitutions of TCM and order parameters. The body constitution of TCM can be treated as a slow variable in the human health systems. By using synergetics, the authors established a model of the human health system based on body constitutions of TCM. As an application of the model, the authors illustrated the argumentations in the theory of constitution being separable, the theory of a relationship between constitution and disease, and the theory of a recuperable constitution. To some extent, this work has made links between the TCM theory of body constitution and modern systems science, and it will offer a new thought for modeling the human health system.

Based on insoluble phenomenon in trace metal powder in TCM granules produced by small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies, this article discussed the causes and countermeasure from the aspects of formulation composition, preparation technology, and TCM pretreatment, with a purpose to provide the basis for strengthening the quality standard of TCM granules.

Objective To explore the factors affecting the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods The quality of life,severity of disease,activities of daily living,motor responses,mental state and the complications of treatment in 71 patients with PD were evaluated by the PD Quality of Life Questionnaire(PDQL),Unified PD Rating Scale(UPDRS),the Hoehn-Yahr scale,the Schwab and England disability scale,the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression(HRSD),and meanwhile factors such as age,gender,age of onset,the beginning symptom,the location of onset,smoking,doses of L-dopa and fluctuations etc were evaluated by some methods.Results Bivariate analysis showed that the longer course of disease and treatment,the more doses of L-dopa,the higher scores of UPDRS and the Hoehn-Yahr scale,and depression fluctuations with patients,the worse quality of life they had(P

Objective To investigate the influence of aging on motor function,binding activity and protein expression level of striatum dopamine transporter(DAT)of rats. Methods Rolling-bar test was performed to assess motor function.Western blot and 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio were used to evaluate DAT protein 1evel and striatum DAT binding activity respectively. Results There were an age-related decline of rolling-bar latency and striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio in rats older than6 months.There was a significant difference between 6-month-old rats and older rats(12-month-old rats,16-month-old rats,20-month-old rats),and rolling-bar latency was correlated with striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio(r=0.656,P＜0.01).There was no change in DAT protein 1evel during aging process. Conclusions The age-related decline of motor function of rats was correlated with the decreasing of striatum DAT binding activity.The synaptic membrane expression of striatum DAT may decrease in aged rats.

Object To investigate the features of health related quality of life ( HRQOL) among elderly hypertensive patients with different body mass index (BMI) so s to provide evidence for the health promotion of hypertensive. Methods A cross-sectional survey of health status data from a population of 1281 elderly hypertensive patients from Beijing and 8 provinces of China ( Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Qinghai, Fujian, Jilin, Jiangxi, and Henan) was made in the study. Analysis of variance was applied to compare the differences in HRQOL of elderly hypertensive patients in different BMI categories. Results For the elderly hypertensive patients with low body mass index, the scores of 8 dimensions and scores in physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary( MCS) of SF-36 were the lowest;except the role-emotional(RE) dimension,the scores of other 7 dimensions,PCS and MCS were significantly different(PF,RP,BP,GH,VT,MH, P<0.01; SF,PCS,MCS, P<0.01). Comparing the scores between any two groups in PCS, the scores of patients with low body mass index were significantly lower than normal weight group (62.30 ± 22. 12 vs72.40 ±20.86, P<0.05) .overweight group (62.30 ± 22.12 vs 74.97 ± 19.20, P<0.05 ) and obese group (62.30 ± 22.12 vs 74.57 ± 19. 22, P < 0.05 ). Comparing the scores between any two groups in MCS,the scores of patients with low body mass index were significantly lower than normal weight group (68. 81 ± 20. 48 vs 74. 70 ± 20.41, P < 0. 05), overweight group (68. 81 ± 20. 48 vs 78.08 ±18.23, P<0.05) and obese group (68.81 ±20.48 vs 78. 69 ± 17.77, P<0.05); the score of normal weight group was significantly lower than the overweight group (74. 70 ±20. 41vs 78. 08 ±18.23, P<0.05). Gender Stratification showed that females with low body mass index had worse HRQOL than males. Conclusion The HRQOL of elderly hypertensive patients with low body mass index is significantly lower than normal weight patients, overweight patients and obese patients, the health promotion of elderly hypertensive patients with low body mass index should be paid more attentions, especially females with low body mass index.
