RESULTS: Recoveries obtained from the four kinds of bufadienolides were higher than 96%,the linearity was in the range of 1 ?g/mL-100 ?g/mL.The concentration of bufadienolides in Liushen Pill was significantly higher than that in other related TCM compatibilities. CONCLUSION: The well-distributed compatibility in Liushen Pill has an influence on the solubilization of bufadienolides,may be in relation to eahancing to release.

FPGA is a kind of powerful programmable chip used in the development of digital system, and it has such advantages as large capacity, reliability and easy modification. The design of FPGA system is mainly through software method which is easy to grasp. Compared with legacy discrete circuit or ASIC, more and more FPGAs are adopted in digital systems for low cost and fast speed. On the other hand, digital system plays an important role in control system of medical equipments, so FPGA is expected to be widely used in almost all fields of medical equipment.

Kawasakd disease(KD) or incomplete KD(IKD) is a systemic vasculitis predominantly affecting young children.Clinical manifestations include fever with no obvious origin,skin damage,abnormalities of mucous membrane and lymph nodes.The disease is often accompanied by serious cardiovascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysm,therefore it attracts more and more attention.But arthritis or arthralgia complicates over one-third of KD or IKD patients.So early-onset arthritis is often indistinguishable from early juvenile idiopathic arthritis,especially systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis(SoJIA).KD and SoJIA are considered to be different diagnoses for children with long-term fever,rash,swollen lymph nodes,and more importantly,the treatment procedures are very different,but it is difficult to completely distinguish the two diseases,especially the IKD and early SoJIA.So in this paper,we will summarize the relationship between KD and arthritis in children,which aims to remind clinicians to pay attention for the diagnosis of KD and IKD.We suggest that physicians should be alert of the fact that they must individualize every patient's management,rather than merely care by the guidelines,which will delay the treatment.

Objective: To analyze and evaluate of the long-term follow-up data of 152 patients with inoperable malignant biliary obstruction who underwent percutaneous placement of metallic stents. Me-thods: From 2000 through 2006, 152 consecutive patients with malignant biliary obstruction were treated with PTCD or placement of metallic stents. The causes of obstruction were bile duct carcinoma (n=35),pancreatic carcinoma (n=32), hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic (n=61), lymphadenopathy in the hepatoduodenal ligament (n=24). We used 86 stents: 31 Cook Zilver Stents,25 Sinus Superflex Stents,12 Wall Stents,3 Sinus-s Iliaca Stents,3 ZA-S Bliary Design Stents,5 Smart Stents and 7 other stents. Every three months we followed up all patients except those who died. Patient survival and stent patency rates were estimated by life-table analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test) was used to compare the patency and survival rates among different groups. And the COX regression model was established to compare the relative risks. Results: The overall median length of patency of all stents was 314 days. The median length of survival for the entire patient group was 215 days. The survival rate was 79.1%,51.7% and 26.8% after 3, 6, and 9 months, respectively. Six patients developed recurrent jaundice or cholangitis. The patients with hepatic hilar obstruction group indicated worse prognosis (P≤0.05). Conclusion: Metallic stents showed a favorable patency rate with regard to patient survival. In patients with hilar obstruction, the clinical prognosis was worse than that in patients with common bile duct (CBD) obstruction. We believe that the placement of metallic stents is the procedure of choice for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction.

BACKGROUND: Chinese character is the only non-alphabetic system of writing, the patterns of semantic symbol, phonetic symbol and sign in the cognition of Chinese characters, it is the combination of form, sound and meaning, and its cognitive pattern, pathway, analytical judgement of semantic and storage are different from those of western alphabetic system of writing, and the processing of Chinese characters maydifferent from that of alphabetic system of writing.OBJECTIVE: To localize the motor language center of the healthy volunteers whose native language is Chinese by means of the equivalent current dipole (ECD) and synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM) of magnetoen cephalography (MEG).DESIGN: A single-sample univariate analysis.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: Ten healthy volunteers whose native language is Chinese were selected from the postgraduates and training participants in the Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences between July 2003 and April 2005, they were all right handedness and had no speech disorders and cognitive impairments, and all accepted training of language task.METHODS: All the healthy subjects were given the language task stimulation of reading words and pseudowords silently, the number of the silently read nouns, appearing time for each noun and the interval between two tasks were strictly matched, ① Words were the common high-frequency characters, accorded to the law of Chinese characters components, and had 4-13 strokes. ② Pseudowords, composed by Chinese characters made-up software, accorded to the made-up law of Chinese character, but could not compose the stroke assemble of the character, and had 4-13 strokes. The evoked magnetic field produced after the stimulation was recorded with MEG, the collected data were overlapped with MRI to obtain the localization of language functional areas.RESULTS: All the 10 volunteers finished the test and entered the analysis of results. Both words and pseudowords evoked obvious late magnetic reaction waves in bilateral cerebral hemispheres, the motor language centers both located at posterior inferior frontal gyrus.CONCLUSION: The motor and classic motor language centers are general concordant in the normal people whose native language is Chinese, that was to say, the motor language center localizes at posterior inferior frontal gyrus of normal people whose native language is Chinese.

Objective To study and summarize the cause and reoperative method of massive hemorrhage of upper gastrointestinal tract after gastrectomy.
