Objective To explore the risk factors and imaging features of silent brain infarction (SBI).Methods The patient with SBI from the clinic were enrolled in the study,and the patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction served as controls.The risk factors and imaging features of both groups were compared.Results Among 145 patients with SBI,133 (91.72％) had two or more lesions,mainly in the centrum semiovale (73.10％).The proportion of patients with white matter lesions in the group of SBI in a single location was significantly lower than that in the group of SBI in multiple locations (41.67％ vs.73.68％ ;x2 =5.484,P =0.019).Compared to the patients with SBI,the age in patents with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction was older (72.42 ± 11.79 vs.67.03 ± 12.04 years; t =3.545,P =0.000),the proportions of male (63.55％ vs.46.21％ ;x2 =7.447,P =0.006),hypertension (80.37％ vs.64.14％ ; x2 =7.887,P =0.005) and atrial fibrillation (31.78％ vs.8.97％,x2 =21.113,P =0.000),as well as the levels of fasting glucose (6.09 ±1.23 mmol/Lvs.5.65± 1.18 mmol/L; t=2.863,P=0.005),total cholesterol (5.53± 0.74 mmol/Lvs.5.27 ± 0.90 mmol/L; t =2.554,P =0.011),triglycerides (1.89 ± 0.20 mmol/L vs.1.77 ± 0.18 mmol/L; t =4.910,P=0.000) and homocysteine (1 4.88 ±4.97 mmol/L vs.11.94 ±4.61 mmol/L; t =4.432,P =0.000)were higher.However,the lipoprotein (a) level was lower (0.18 ± 0.06 g/L vs.0.27 ± 0.18 g/L; t =-5.489,P =0.000).Among patients with SBI,33.8％ and 43.5％ had lesions in two and three locations,respectively;among patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction,66.4％ and 27.1％ had lesions in a single location and two locations,respectively (P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lipoprotein (a)was the independent risk factor for SBI (odds ratio 5.988,95％ confidence interval 2.421-14.706; P =0.000).Conclusions Although they shared a variety of common risk factors,patients with SBI had less atherosclerotic risk factors than those with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction.Most patients with SBI had lesions in multiple locations.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technique of tiannian capsules. METHODS:The extraction technique was selected by orthogonal method,with the contents of radix astragali and polycose,as well as the recovery of dry ointment as indicators,the influential factors for the extraction of effective ingredients that included the amount of adding water,length of decocting time and frequencies of decocting were studied.RESULTS:The optimal extraction technique is that medicinal herb is decocted in water 6 times as much as the herb for 3 times with 1 h per time.CONCLUSION:The optimized extraction technique is scientific,economic and practicable,which can be a guideline for manufacturing.

Objective:To evaluate the current situation and the developing trend of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists used in 25 hospital of Wuhan during the period of 2003～2005 in order to provide reference for clinical doctors and pharmacists. Method:The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists were statistically analyzed in respect to the purchase sum of money,DDDs and daily costs. Result:During the 3 years, purchase sum of money of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists were yearly increasing. The share of the market of domestic drugs showed an increasing tendency,while the imported drugs decreased year by year. Granisetron, ondansetron and tropisetron were much more frequently used than others. Conclusion:The market of the oral agents of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists will further expand in China.

Objective To explore the distrbution characteristics of glutathione S-transferase T1 and M1 (GSTT1 and GSTM1) gene polymorphism of Daur population in Inner Mongolia region, and provide the relevant data for studying the genotype of minority ethnic group of the Inner Mongolia.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the fragments of GSTM1 and GSTT1 was amplified by internal control allele specific PCR in 220 volunteers who had been residents in Inner Mongolia region. At the same time, the genotype of GSTT1 and GSTM1 was resolved by the density of 2.5% agarose gel electrophoresis.Results In the studied population, the frequencies of GSTM1 (-) and GSTT1 (-) were 50.8% and 71.4% respectively. The frequency of the individuals with combination of GSTM1 (-) and GSTT1 (-) was 31.4%.Conclusion The distribution of GSTM1 and GSTT1 displays gene polymorphism in Chinese Daur population, approximate to Mongolian population in the north of China, but there is significant difference between Chinese Daur population and Han people.

The paper analyzes problems existed in health certificate issuing management among employees in the service industries in Xi'an and points out the necessity of using informatization means to assist health certificate data management.It proposes the scheme of u-sing the management system based on two-dimensional code technology to manage health certificate information and makes detailed de-scription of design and realization of the system.

Objective To develop ICU digital system for over-all monitoring and remote monitoring.Methods The programming and design was performed according to the principles of"taking patients as center,clinic as basis,utility as goal,service as aim".Results ICU digital system was composed of digital medical instruments and their clinical Gateway,intensive care information system,bedside integrated clinical information terminals,nurse workstation integrated clinical information terminals,serious patients visit system,little smart local communication system,consultation demonstration teaching system and personal digital assistant clinical information terminal system.Conclusion As one of the important symbols of modern hospital,the ICU digital system integrates the vital signs information of every patient in ICU and implement seamless connection with CIS,LIS,PACS,HIS.The construction of ICU digital system will accelerate the digital hospital's development.

The development of proteomic technique has sparked new focus on novel protein markers for many diseases including cancer. Urine is one of the most useful biofluids for routine testing to provide an ideal resource for the discovery of novel biomarkers, with the advantage over tissue biopsy samples due to the ease and the less invasive nature of urinary collection. This review summarizes urinary protein tumor markers found in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer that have shown potential for urogenital and non-urogenital cancer, so as to provide reference on high sensitive and high specific urinary protein tumor markers for early prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Objective To describe localized peripapillary detachment in highly myopic eyes, and to analyze the possible cause of this newly recognized fundus lesion. Methods From December 2002 to January 2004, 10 eyes from 7 patients with high myopia were identified to have localized peripapillary detachment by optical coherent tomography (OCT). The features were described together with the fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography and multifocal electroretinogram. Results Peripapillary detachment was not the reason for any patient to be referred for examinations. The reasons of vision decrease or lower BCVA were relatively severe myopic chorioretinal changes, CNV, pre macular membrane formation, and amblyopia. The areas of peripapillary detachment were all located within the posterior staphyloma. The length of the detached retina was undoubtedly shorter than that of the corresponding RPE and inner layer of choroids, which attached to sclera, on OCT. Conclusion Peripapillary detachment is probably a benign complication of staphyloma
