Objective To observe the changes of respiratory musc]e strength by traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients.Methods Thirty-four cholinesterase inhibitor-resistant patients,of them 14 were MG patients with stage Ⅰ ,and 20 were stage Ⅱ ,were treated with bromide dimethylcarbamate ( 360-480 mg/d ).Traditional Chinese potion were administered in those without effectiveness,and the dosages of bromide dimethylcarbamate decreased with Traditional Chinese potion lasting for 4-6 months.Vital capacity ( VC ),maximal voluntary ventilation ( MVV ),maximal inspiratory pressure ( PIM ),maximal expiratory pressure ( PEM ),respiratory centre driving pressure ( P0.1 ),residual volume ( RV )were measured before and after treatment.Results The amelioration of VC,MVV,PIM,PEM,P0.1 ,RV,respiratory muscle strength and other indicators of 34 MG patients were not obviously after treatment with cholinesterase inhibitor alone ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After treatment with traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors,VC,MVV,PIM,PEM ( before treatment:76.66% ± 18.59%,68.03 % ± 10.45 %,43.25 % ± 18.16%,21.75 % ±14.44% ) increased significantly in all 34 MG patients( after treatment:86.91% ± 14.87% ,75.11% ± 11.17%,52.66% ±20.32% ,28.56% ± 10.06% ) ( P ＜ 0.05).RV decreased from 164.94% ± 67.97% to 143.16% ±79.21% (P ＜0.01 ),and respiratory muscle strength,endurance and other indicators significantly improved (P ＜0.01).PIM(65.80% ±28.03% to 52.66% ±20.32%),and PEM (37.03% ±20.57% to 28.56% ±10.06%)improved more significantly in group stage than in group stage (P ＜0.01 ).Respiratory muscle endurance in stage Ⅰpatients ( 108.71% ± 17.56% ) improved significantly than stage Ⅱ patients (96.01% ± 14.12% ,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicine combined with cholinesterase inhibitors could effectively improve the lung function and respiratory muscle strength in patients with resistance of the cholinesterase inhibitors.The improvement of lung function,respiratory muscle strength were more obviously in stage Ⅰ patients than in stage Ⅱ patients.Respiratory muscle strength and endurance were improved greater in stage Ⅱ than in stage Ⅰ patients.

OBJECTIVE To analyze situation of clearence of rust in the surgical operation apparatus.METHODS 300 surgical operation apparatus were choosed,divided into the A,B,C groups.For group A,soak method was taken to clear the rust,group B with soak and hand scrub in method,group C with soak.hand scrub and lubricant method.RESULTS The method for group C was most effective.The qualified rate and re-rust rate were 99.0% and 2.0%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Clearence is a better method for operation apparatus maintanance,but daily cleaness is also important to avoid rusting.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cost performance of small packs of surgical instruments and to look for their optimizing sterilization schemes.METHODS 720 sample from total surgical instruments were sefested,pressuresteam sterilization ethylene Oxide and hydrogen peroxide plasma sferilization were pexformal and compared.Statistics and analyzing finally under the condition of each kind puts The sterilization effect,cost and the period were analyzed.RESULTS All three methods call guarantee the sterilization effect,but the cost of EO and plasma were more than those of pressuresteam method(452% and 960%).CONCLUSIONS Pressuresteam sterilization show advantages in small packing instruments.

Objective To investigate the association of the major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related antigens A (MICA)-129 gene polymorphism and soluble MICA (sMICA) levels with ulcerative colitis (UC) in Hubei Han nationality. Methods The genetic polymorphism of MICA-129 was examined using a polymerase chain reaction-sequence based test (PCR-SBT) in 256 UC patients and 460 healthy controls. From the above subjects, 80 patients and 90 healthy individuals were randomly selected for determining serum sMICA concentrations by ELISA. Results The frequencies of variant allele (G) and genotype (GG) in MICA-129 gene were significantly higher in the UC patients than in the controls(76. 8%vs 72. 2%, P =0. 060; 55.9% vs 46. 3% ,P =0. 016). Serum sMICA levels were significantly elevated in the patients compared to the controls[(576. 47 ±279. 02) ng/L vs( 182. 17 ±73. 11 ) ng/L,P ＜0. 001]. In addition, the sMICA levels were higher in the patients carrying MICA-129 GG genotypes than in those carrying ( GA + AA) genotypes [( 638. 87 ± 347. 15 ) ng/L vs ( 507. 51 ± 152. 87 ) ng/L, P = 0. 035].Conclusions The genetic polymorphism of MICA-129 and sMICA levels are correlated with the UC patients in Hubei Han nationality. Our findings demonstrate that MICA-129 gene may contribute to the pathogenesis of UC.

Chronic viral hepatitis B (CHB) is a major infectious disease greatly harmful to the health of Chinese people. Chinese medicine has its speciality and advantages in treating it depending syndrome-differentiation. The objectified researches regarding Chinese medical syndromes in CHB heretofore were reviewed in this article. Moreover, aiming at existing problems and taking the angle of "disease-syndrome combining" study, authors put forward research approach, and approaches for studying systemic biology based biological basis of Chinese medical syndrome in hepatitis B with reductionism and holism, cybernetics and system theories in combination.

Objective To investigate the treatment of septic shock(SS) from upper urinary obstruction(UUO). Methods Continuous veno-venous haemofiltration(CVVH) combined with surgical method was applied to 42 SS patients from UUO. Their general conditions, liver and kidney functions, APACHE Ⅱ, therapeutic intervention scorisystem(TISS), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), complication rate and main outcomes were analysed comparing with traditional therapies groups(n=30). Results Compared with those traditional therapies, the APACHEⅡ , MODS and TISS score decreased (P＜0.05). Thirty-seven out of 42 patients survived and the survival rate was 88.0% during ICU. Conclusion CVVH combined with surgical methods may effectively decrease the incidence of complications and mortality of SS from UUO, and the mechanism may be related to the remove of mediators of inflammation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Epstein-Barr virus-type 1 (EBV-1) in GCF and saliva during experimental gingivitis in Chinese young subjects and to evaluate the effect of the virus in the initial stage of gingival inflammation.

METHODSGCF of 14 and 45 and saliva without stimulating in 11 Chinese young males with healthy gingiva were collected at baseline (day 0), day 7, 14 and 21 after stopping oral hygiene and day7 after reestablishing oral hygiene (day 28). DNA of HCMV and EBV-1 were detected by nested-polymerase chain reaction (n-PCR) at the times mentioned above.

RESULTSHCMV was detected in GCF of 4 subjects at baseline, 4 subjects at day 7, 3 subjects at day 14 and 2 subjects at day 21 while the subjects were different. At day 28 HCMV could not be detected. EBV-1 was not detectable in GCF during the experimental gingivitis. HCMV was detected in saliva in 4 subjects and EBV-1 was in 3 subjects. And there is no relationship between the detection of the herpesviruses and the clinical parameters as well.

CONCLUSIONWe suggest that HCMV and EBV-1 are not the important factors during the initial stage of gingival inflammation.
