Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of lentinan combined with conventional antituberculous therapy in women with pelvic tuberculosis.Methods A total of 90 women with pelvic tuberculosis were enrolled and recruited into a control group and a treatment group by random number table,45 in each group.The control group was treated with anti-tuberculosis program (2HRZE/4HRE),while the treatment group was treated with lentinan tablets on the basis of the control group.Both groups were treated for 6 months.Serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESRs) were determined before and after treatment,and the therapeutic effect was evaluated.Results After treatment,the serum CA125 level (28.61 ± 9.08 U/ml vs.39.72 ± 12.13 U/ml;t=4.919,P＜0.01) and the ESR (36.13 ± 8.33 mm/h vs.41.35 ± 12.45 mm/h;t=2.338,P＜0.05) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The negative rate of serum CA125 after treatment than before treatment in the treatment group (93.3％ vs.20.0％;X2=46.335,P＜0.01) and the control group (82.2％ vs.8.9％;X2=37.396,P＜0.01);but there was no difference in negative rate of serum CA125 after treatment between two groups (X2=1.6571,P=0.198).The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.3％ vs.77.8％;X2=4.406,P=0.036).Conclusion Lentinan combined with conventional antituberculous therapy is effective in treatment of pelvic tuberculosis in women.

Objective To assess the relationship between Helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children.Methods All the published literatures of relationship between Hp infection and childhood ITP were searched by computer and manual search from 2000 to 2010 in the CNKI database,WANFANG database,Chongqing Vip database and Pubmed database.A comprehensive analysis of case control studies were used by Meta analysis and calculated the value of integrated OR and 95%CI.Results Thirty-five pertinent literatures were collected.After literature which study methods not fit the request were ruled out,there were 8 effective documents in all,including 6 Chinese literatures,and 2 English literatures.Meta analysis of OR value and 95%CI were 1.90(1.44-2.50),and Z value of combined effect of tests was 4.56 (P=0.000 01) in ITP group and control group.Meta analysis results of OR value and 95%CI were 0.74(0.49-1.13),and Z value of combined effect of the test was 1.38 (P=0.17) in acute ITP and chronic ITP group.Conclusions Hp infection is closely related with the incidence of ITP,but has nothing to do with the type of ITP.

BACKGROUND: After acute spinal cord injury (SCI), edema of spinal cord is an important factor for inducing and deteriorating pathological changes of spinal cord tissue. After injury, noradrenaline (NE) instantly causes microvascular contraction, endothelial injury, increase of arterial permeability and participation in edema. Recently, many researches suggest that excitatory amino acids (EAA) are related to cellular edema.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect and mechanism of selective phenol aminergic neuron, 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHNA)and aspartic acid (ASP) on edema after acute SCI.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Department of Spine Surgery, the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Animal Center of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March to September 2003. A total of 160 Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g of both genders were randomly divided into three groups: 6-OHNA group (n =60), MK-801 group (n =50) and control group (n =50).METHODS: Acute SCI was induced at the level of T13 vertebral body with the static lcad technique. Rats in 6-OHNA group were injected with 6-OHNA into subarachnoid space; rats in MK-801 group were injected with MK-801 into caudal vein; rats in control group did not receive any treatment. The extent of edema was compared in the three groups by means of neurological scoring, water content measurement, light microscopy and electron microscopy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neurological scores and water content.RESULTS: All 160 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① After SCl, content of NE in 6-OHNA group was decreased from (217.45±4.26) ng/g to (29.37±2.61) ng/g, and the difference was significant (P＜ 0.01). Edema in spinal cord tissue was effectively inhibited for 24 hours. At 12 hours after SCl, function recovered remarkably and vascular-derived edema was the mildest. ② In MK-801 group, there was no significant suppression of the edema until 24 hours after injury. Early recovery of neurological function was not significantly different from that in control group (P ＞ 0.05), but functional recovery was obvious until 24 hours after injury (P＜0.05). The degree of cytotoxic edema was the lightest.CONCLUSTON: NE can inhibit vascular-derived edema at early phase of SCI, and EAA can inhibit cytotoxic edemas,which develops at a relatively later stage.

Objective To investigate the functional characteristic of adolescents with conduct disorder (CD) in the resting state.Methods Resting-sate fMRI (rs-fMRI) scans were administered to 28 male adolescents with CD and 28 age-,gender-and IQ-matched healthy controls (HCs).The rs-fMRI data were subjected to amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis and ALFF values were compared between the two groups.Additionally,the region ROIs showed significant difference and correlation analysis was conducted between ALFF in each ROI and Barratt's scores.Results ① Compared to HCs,the CD group showed decreased ALFF (P＜0.005) bilaterally in the superior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,right posterior cingulate gyrus,right inferior parietal lobule (MNI coordinates:-21,48,27;21,24,48;36,24,33 6,-36,39;48,-45,57 respectively) as well as increased ALFF (P＜O.005) in the left thalamus and left lingual gyrus (MNI coordinates:-15,-27,-3;-18,-87,-12 respectively).② There was no significant correlation between ALFF and Barratt's scores in ROIs.Conclusion The results suggest that CD is associated with abnormal intrinsic brain activity,mainly in frontal-parietal-occipital-limbic cortices,which is related to emotional and cognitive processing and behavioral functions.
