Objective To study the relationship between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and intracranial measurement line in normal Chinese by useing CT data and computer technology.Methods By CT scan,to measure CSF volume and third ventricle maximum width,suprasellar cistern minimus width,lateral ventricle width in hypothalamic layer,caudate nucleus pitch and other index by age and gender in 178 normal adults.Results There were significant difference between male and female CSF volume in the groups of 14-20 years(23 cases),31-40 years(33 cases),41-50 years(32 cases) and ＞ 60 years (13 cases)(P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The CSF volume between male and female had significant difference (t =3.302,P =0.001).The CSF volume and third ventricle maximum width had significant correlation (r =0.685).Conclusion The third ventricle maximum width is the most closely with CSF volume.

Objective To observe the effect of adjusting high dietary profein intake on nutritional status of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Method Thirty three PD patients whose daily protein intake (DPI) was over 1.2g/(kg? d) were included in study from July, 2005 to November, 2006. A recipe was given by a professional dietitian for every patient to reduce DPI meanwhile maintaining sufficient daily energy intake (DEI). DPI, DEI, serum albumin (ALB), lean body mass(LBM) and subjective global assessment(SGA) and the prevalence of hyperphosphatemia, hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis were evaluated before and after 3 and 6 mo adjustment. Results At the end of observation, 28 patients were enrolled in the study. Their mean age was 61.37?12.25 yrs, 11 males and 17 females with dialysis period 8.8 mon (1～66 mo). DPI and DEI were significantly decreased during 6 mo (P=0.000). Nobody complained about gastrointestinal symptoms, and the quality and satisfaction of life during the study were not significantly different. Serum Alb at 3 rd month was higher than the start of study (36.22?2.79g/L vs 37.34?3.32 g/L,P

Six taxane diterpenoids were isolated from the stem bark of Tax us cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc.. On the basis of physical and chemical properties and spectra analysis,they were identified as 2'-de sacetoxyaustrospicatine(Ⅰ). taxol(Ⅱ),cephalomannine (Ⅲ), 2-deacetoxyl taxinine J (Ⅳ),taxinine B(Ⅴ) and 10-deacetyl-7-0-?-Dxylosyl-taxol (Ⅵ).

Objective To clarify the clinical features of solid pseudo-papillary tumor of pancreas. Methods Clinical data of 38 patients with solid pseudo-papillary tumor of pancreas were analyzed retrospectively. Results The clinical manifestations included a palpable abdominal mass, abdominal pain and discomfort. Tumor occured in 1 case younger than 10 years old, 11 cases between 11 years old and 20 years old, 7 cases between 21 years old and 30 years old, 9 cases between 31 years old and 40 years old, 5 cases between 41 years old and 50 years old and 1 case older than 50 years. Immunohistochemistry staining showed CgA( + ) in 6 cases,Vim( + )in 29 cases,AAT( + ) in 29 cases,Syn( + ) in 21cases,CD10( + ) in 34 cases,CD56( + ) in 37 cases, Ki-67 ( + ) in 36 cases and PR( + ) in 38 cases. Conclusion Solid pseudo-papillary tumor of pancreas is closely associated with gonadal hormone and reproductive system.

Objective To discuss the medication principles of diagnosis and treatment for insomnia from spleen and stomach; To provide references for clinical treatment for insomnia.Methods Relevant articles about diagnosis and treatment forinsomnia from spleen and stomach were searched in CNKI and Wanfang Data through computers, the data were input into Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Supporting System (V2.5) and then association rules, apriori arithmetic, improved mutual information method, and complex system entropy cluster methods were used to analyze the medication principles of diagnosis and treatment for insomnia from spleen and stomach. Results Through screening, totally 87 prescriptions were included, involving 165 herbal medicine. Data mining results showed that there were 30 high-frequency herbal medicine, 19 high-frequency medicinal combinations, and 4 medicinal association rules. Evolution led to 13 medicinal combinations of 2 herbal medicine and 3 new prescriptions. Conclusion The main method of diagnosis and treatment for insomnia from the spleen and stomach is regulating qi activity of spleen and stomach. The features of common medicine are invigorating spleen to reduce phlegm, clearing stomach and calming the adverse-rising energy, and tonifying qi and soothing nerves, which can offer references for clinical treatment for insomnia.

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of human fibrinogen-like protein 2 (hFgl2) in patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM).Methods The expression of hFgl2 in the peripheral blood leukocytes from 20 CM cases and 20 healthy individuals,and the expression of hFgl2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytes in 11 pairs of CM patients and matched controls was detected using immunohistochemical methods.Medical image analysis system (MIAS) was used to analyze the expression of hFgl2 gray values,which were negatively correlated to the expression of hFgl2 protein in both peripheral blood and CSF.Results The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in peripheral monocytes of CM patients and healthy controls were 114.49± 11.82 and 137.56± 10.64,respectively,and those in peripheral neutrophils were 111.71 ± 8.62 and 143.56±12.57,respectively.Compared with the healthy control group,expressions of hFgl2 in peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils were both significantly increased in CM patients (t =21.21,t=27.19; P＜0.01).The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in CSF monocytes from CM patients and negative controls were 115.44±8.67 and 149.25±8.57,respectively,and those in CSFneutrophils were 111.71±8.62 and 143.56 ± 12.57,respectively.The expressions of hFgl2 in CSFmonocytes and neutrophils were significantly increased in CM patients (t =29.95,t=28.87; P＜0.01),while the expression intensity of hFgl2 was similar when peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils compared with their CSF counterparts (t=0.924,t=0.607; both P＞0.05).Conclusions hFgl2 can be expressed in both peripheral and CSF monocytes and neutrophils in CM patients.

Objective To investigate the radiation pollution level of radon and ? radiation in air in different type of buildings. Methods 22 different type of rooms were selected and common measuring methods and REM-2 Radon exhalation rate apparatus and FD-125 Rn-Th measuring instrument were used. Results It indicated that the indoor radioactive contamination mostly root in the exhalation of soil and building material, secondly outdoor radon and ? radiation, water and the wall contributed little. Conclusion The results of the present paper have laid a foundation for the further study on the effect of radiation on human health and the protective technique.
