Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases.Methods By searching in the major databases of CNKI,ISI Web of Knowledge,VIP Information and Pubmed,we collected data of randomized controlled trials pertaining to combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases.Results Twenty-five randomized controlled trials involving totally 3081 patients were collected according to the inclusion criteria,and meta-analysis of the data indicated that combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be of great value in the management of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases in comparison with exclusive use of Western medicine [combined odds ratio(OR)was 3.20 with 95% confidence interval(CI)(2.74,3.73),Z=14.85,P＜0.01].Conclusion The clinical evidence derived from the analysis suggests that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases can be effective with good security.

Classical piggyback liver transplantation (CPBLT) is an advanced technique based on standard orthotopic liver transplantation (SOLT),which has more advantages compared to the SOLT.However,there are still some problems with CPBLT to be solved,such as complicated surgical procedures,postoperative hepatic venous outflow obstruction and thrombosis.Recently,in order to solve these problems,modifications have been made,being named ameliorated piggyback liver transplantation (APBLT).The APBLT solved above-mentioned problems,and expanded the application of PBLT.Therefore,this article describes the technique of these ameliorations,and discusses their individual characteristics.

Objective To study the causes of conversion to open surgery in patients receiving gynecological laparoscopic operations. Methods From January 2002 to December 2007,totally 2630 patients received gynecological laparoscopy in our hospital; 45 of them were converted to open surgery. The data of the 45 cases were analyzed. Results The causes of conversion to open surgery included uterus myoma located at specific locations (25 cases,55.6%),severe pelvic-abdominal adhesion (10 cases,22.2%),uterine horn pregnancy (3 cases,6.7%),ovarian tumors (3 cases,6.7%),surgical injury (3 cases,6.7%) ,and adenomyoma with requirement for uterus conservation (1 case,2.2%). Conclusions Peculiar locations of uterine myoma and severe pelvic-abdominal adhesion are the main causes of conversion to open surgery during gynecological laparoscopy. Detailed preoperative evaluation can decrease the rate of the conversion rate. Right timing of the conversion may reduce complication rate.

Objective To investigate the effect of radiation-induced heart injury on cardiac troponin I (cTnI)and endothelin-1(ET-1) and observe the preventive and therapeutic effect of fluvastatin. Methods Healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group(c), irradiation alone group(R) and fluvastatin therapeutic group (F). Rats of F group had been gastrogavaged with fluvastatin at dose of 20mg?kg -1?d -1 from 1week before irradiation to the end of the experiment. In C group and R group, rats were gastrogavaged with the same volume isotonic sodium chloride. The rats of R and F group were irradiated with accelerator linear at a dose of 20Gy thoracically. Rats were executed at 5,15,30d and 60d after irradiation, then cTnI in serum and ET-1 in blood plasma were detected. Results On 5d, the content of cTnI in R group increased significantly than that in C group(P

To investigate the chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Lygodium japonicum. Methods:Various chromatographic techniques were employed for isolation and purification of the constituents. The structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral methods. Results:A new stigmasterol glycoside,(24R)-stigmastan-3β,5α,6β-triol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1),together with three known phenolic glycosides:6-O-p-coumaroyl-D-glucopyranose (2),6-O-caffeoyl-D-glucopyranose (3),1-O-(E)-caffeoyl-β-D-gentiobiose (4) were obtained and identified by spectroscopic methods. Conclusion:All compounds were isolated from Lygodiaceae for the first time.

To study chemical constituents of the leaves of Nauclea officinalis, eight alkaloids were isolated from 95% ethanol extract by various chromatographic methods. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data (IR, UV, ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR) and identified as naucleactonin C (1), strictosamide (2), vincosamide (3), pumiloside (4), angustoline (5), angustine (6), 18, 19-dihydroangustine (7) and naucleofficine D (8). Compound 1 is a new indole alkaloid. Compounds 6 and 7 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

In the bioelectric measurement, the electrode impedance detection is an important index to the signal quality evaluation and sensor electrode contact condition. In this paper, a method of accurately measuring the electrode impedance based on EEG measurement system was put forward, the method is based on the constant current source excitation signals which are added to the human body, by monitoring the human voltage to measure the electrode impedance. And different reference resistor calibration calculation in different sections was used to reduce the effect of constant current source on the precision of measurement results to improve the measurement accuracy.

Liver transplantation,a unique effective treatment for end-stage liver diseases,has already been applied in clinical practice for more than half a century.But the shortage of donor liver source has been the bottleneck limiting its development.How to determine the tiny minority donor liver quality to guarantee the prognosis of transplant patients becomes a hot focus for current research.Brain death causes patho-physiological changes of body organs,including liver.How to carry out related pathological and serologic tests to determine the safety of the donor liver is a very important issue.In this paper,the articles published in recent years were overviewed and analyzed to summarize the evaluation index of donating organ quality.We hope this paper may benefit the treatment through ensuring an effective evaluation on the donor liver in the future.

China donation after citizens' death (CDCD) has already entered a new historical era,and the donation after brain death plus cardiac death (DBCD),which refers to the transition from brain death to cardiac death,is most widely used.The various pathological and physiological changes have an influence on donor organs,which could not be ignored.So the research on the effects of donor brain death for CDCD liver transplantation will be of great significance.Here we discussed the CDCD initiation and its classification,and the necessity and application of establishing a donation after brain death (DBD) animal model to clarify the relationship between DBD and CDCD liver transplantation and thus to enlighten future studies.

Ethnic medicine is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine and excellent traditional culture. New products of ethnic medicine are important application form to play therapeutic advantages of ethnic medicine, whose research and development should focus on the maintenance of characteristics of ethnic medicine. From the perspective of the research and development of ethnic medicine, this article discussed research ideas in the development of new products of ethnic medicine and put forward that attention should be paid to the experience on using the ethnic medicine, related literature studies, and ethnic medicine resource protection and utilization as well. In addition, this article put forward the research tactics in new products of ethnic medicine, such as medicinal materials, effective parts, active ingredients, the secondary development research and so on, with a purpose of improving the level of researching and developing new products of ethnic medicine.
