Aim To study the protective effect of total extract of astragalus(TEA) on primary rat hepatocytes injured by CCl4 or H2O2 and its mechanism.Methods The primary hepatocytes were isolated by Ⅳ collaganase and injured by CCl4 or H2O2.The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and glutathion(GSH),glutathion peroxidase(GSHpx) activity of hepatocytes and the AST and /or ALT level in cultural supernatant were determined by general methods. Results (1) The elevation of MDA content of hepatocytes and AST level in supernatant of cultural hepatocytes,and the loss of GSH content and GSHpx activity induced by CCl4 were restored remarkably by TEA(5～80 mg?L-1);(2)The elevation of ALT level in the supernatant of hepatocytes and MDA content of hepatocytes, and the loss of GSH content and GSHpx activity induced by H2O2 were improved significantly by TEA(5～80 mg?L-1) treatment.Conclusion The results suggest that TEA possess direct protective action on primary hepatocyte in vitro injured by CCl4 or H2O2. These might be associated with its anti-oxidative activity.

Objective To observe the changes of SOD and MDA after the rabbits were exposed to acute hypoxia when cured by oxygen therapy.Methods New Zealand rabbits underwent hypoxia imitating the 4500-meter sea level in altitude chamber(group E,n=6),then some received oxygen therapy,the volume ratio of oxygen-nitrogen mixture was 25%,30% and 35% respectively for 10,5 and 3 hours as group B,C and D.Another 5 rabbits received no treatment as normal group.The rabbits samples were collected at the time points of 1,3,5,10 and 24 hours after the oxygen therapy started to detect serum biochemical indicators.Results Comparing with normal control group,serum SOD activity in simple hypoxia group noticeably decreased and the content of MDA noticeably increased;in three oxygen therapy groups,serum SOD activity in 25% oxygen therapy group was highest and the content of MDA was lowest.Serum SOD activity in 25% oxygen therapy group had ascendant tendency and the content of MDA had descendant tendency.Conclusions Low concentration oxygen therapy can prevent acute hypoxia-induced injury in rabbits,besides increase oxygen partial pressure,oxygen therapy may improve superoxide dismutase activity.

Objective To analyze the association of gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep disturbance after Wen-Chuan earthquake. *Methods Using random sampling method, compared with Beijing publics at the same time, within two weeks, questionnaire was performed in the disaster area population.Gastrointestinal symptoms were diagnosed according to the Rome Ⅲ standard, and were analyzed in relation to sleep investigation. Results Among 956 disaster area individuals, 459 (48.0%) have gastrointestinal symptoms. Among 1021 Beijing publics, the corresponding number was 78(7. 6% ) ,which was significantly lower. The main gastrointestinal symptoms included abdominal pain ( 14. 0% ), distension ( 12. 1% ),constipation ( 10. 3 % ), heartburn (8. 6% )and dysporia (8. 3% ). Compared with Beijing publics (24. 4% ),the disaster area publics ( 83.7% ) with gastrointestinal symptoms had significant differences in sleep disturbance (P ＜0. 05 ). Early awakening with acratia had significant differences in disaster area publics (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion There was relatively high incidence of gastrointestinal symptom after Wen-Chuan earthquake. The incidence of gastrointestinal symptom was related to sleep disturbance, and gastrointestinal symptoms were related to early awakening with acratia.

Background Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) has a high incidence in Uygur population and usually leads to secondary glaucoma and complicated cataract.The abnormal change of lens tissue and degeneration of zonular fibers bring a lot of difficulties for phacoemulsification (phaco) with intraocular lens implantation,especially stop-and-chop phaco technique.Prechop technique is a new choping technology,but its application in PEX with cataract is less.Objective This study was to compare the efficacy and safety of pre chop phaco technique and stop-and-chop phaco technique for PEX combined cataract.Methods A randomized controlled Clinical trial was designed.Forty-one eyes of 41 patients with PEX combined cataract of Ⅲ degree of nucleus were enrolled in People's Hospital of Hetian District from March 2015 to January 2016.The patients were randomized into the prechop group and stop-and-chop group according to random nubmer table,and cystotome-assisted prechop phaco surgery and stop-and-chop phaco surgery were performed in different groups,respectively.The effective phaco duration,corneal endothelium loss rate,cornea edema eye number after operation,vision outcomes and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The mean effective phaco duration was 14.0 (13.0,16.5) minutes and 18.5 (16.5,24.0) minutes in the prechop group and stop-and-chop group,with a significant difference between them (Z =17.354,P ＜ 0.01).The corneal endothelial cells were (2 101.90 ± 209.08)/mm in the prechop group,and the number was similar to (2 002.30 ± 207.04)/mm of the stop-and-chop group (t =-1.530,P =0.134).Corneal endothelial cell lossing rate was (8.27±2.23)％ in the prechop group,which was lower than (13.09±4.26)％ in the stop-and-chop group (t =3.810,P =0.001).The BCVA was better in the prechop group than that in the stop-and-chop group in postoperative day 3 (P =0.044),and the corneal edema degree was not signigicantly different in postoperative day 1 and day 3 between the two groups (P=0.221,0.446).Intraoperative complication was rapture of zonule and occurred in 1 eye and 2 eyes in the prechop group and stop-and-chop group,respectively.Conclusions Compared with the stop-and-chop phaco technique,the prechop phaco tequnique can decrease intraoperative complication,lighten the postoperative damage of corneal endothelial cells and accelerate visual rehabilitation in PEX combined with cataract patients.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative chemotherapy for children with malignant extragonadial germinoma. Methods Twenty patients with malignant extrogonadal germinoma had been treated with preoperative chemotherapy from Mar.2003 to Mar.2007.Protocol 1 of chemotherapy was to improve PEB:(cisplatin plus etoposide plus bleomycin A5);Protocol 2 was VAC(vincristine plus actinomycin D plus cyclophosphamide) the average time span of the chemotherapy was 16 weeks.Upon completion of chemotherapy,tumor resection was performed.The content of alpha fetoprotein(AFP) was determined before operation and compared with the content before chemotherapy.Re-gular follow-up procedure was taken after operation. Results All 20 patients received chemotherapy and underwent operation.The removal rate of resection operation was 100%,the process of operation was smooth.The volume of tumors in 14 patients decreased over 50% compared with those before chemotherapy.The response rate was 70%.The content of AFP decreased significantly in 15 patients(75%).Fifteen patients had been living without tumor for up to 2 years,for 5 cases the survival time went beyond 5 years. Conclusions Malignant extrogonadal ger-minoma in children grow infiltratively,bring detrimental effects to neighboring organs,and bring obstacles to resection operation.Chemotherapy for children with malignant extragonadal germinoma before operation can reduce volume of tumor and bleeding during operation,raise the resectability rate and lower the content of AFP.It will enhance the effectiveness of operation and improve prognosis.Therefore,it can be used as a conventional clinical method.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the radiation dose caused by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in PET/CT examination and to optimize the concerned radiation protection. Methods Thirty patients from our conventional PET/CT examination were simple randomly selected, and they all underwent whole body PET/CT imaging. The radioactive dose of injected 18F-FDG was recorded. The internal radiation dose was calculated and the external radiation dose from patients was measured with the 451P-DE-SI ion chamber survey meter. The staff's dose was recorded with thermoluminescent detector (TLD). All dosimetry data were processed and analyzed statistically with Excel 2003. Results The injected radioactive dose of 18F-FDG was (432.9±51.8) MBq, and effective dose equivalent received per patient was (8.23±0.99) roSy. The correlation coefficient (r) of the dose equivalent rate and distance was-0.994 by power function curve fitting, and that of dose equivalent rate and time was - 0.988 by exponential curve fitting. The staff's dose was lower than the annual dose limit. Conclusions The patient's internal radiation dose caused by 18F-FDG in PET/CT examination is low, nonetheless, the clinician should always consider optimizing and minimizing the necessary radiation received by the patients. The patients having been injected with 18F-FDG should stay in one place to decrease their radiation to the public. From the medical point of view in optimizing radiation exposure, there may still be a potential to lower the injected 18F-FDG activity.
