Objective To search for evidence of diagnosis of pulmonary embolism for guiding clinical practice.Methods We searched PubMed(1970~2005-10)and CBM(1992~2005-10)in Oct.2005 to identify system reviews(SR)and cross-sectional study(CSS)about the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.Results Sixteen SR and 9 CSS were identified in PubMed,none in CBM.Pulmonary arteriography was the gold standard in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.Our result showed that computed tomography,ventilation-perfusion scanning and doppler ultrasound were useful in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism combind with clinical judgment.Multidetector CT might be another gold standard in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.A negative result on quantitative rapid ELISA of D-dimer could exclude the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.Conclusion Diagnostic tests combind with clinical judgment are useful for diagnosing or excluding pulmonary embolism.

AIM:To evaluate the poor vision condition and analyze the myopia etiological factor in primary school He'xi district of Sanya.
METHODS: A cohort of 1 218 subjects were recruited randomly from grade 1~6 of two primary schools. Visual activity test, dioptroscopy and risk factor questionnaire were evaluated.
RESULTS: The prevalence of poor vision was 29. 55%. The incidence of myopia increased with grade, and was significantly higher in girls than that in boys. The outdoor activity time of myopic pupil ( 7. 25 ± 5. 35h/wk ) was significantly lower than emmetropic pupil (11. 86±6. 65h/wk) ( P < 0. 05 ). The usage of electronic product ( TV, computater and cell phone) time of myopic pupil (13. 36±8. 35h/wk) was significantly higher than emmetropic pupil (7. 75±5. 83h/wk) (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The increase of myopia incidence is closely related with sparing outdoor activity and excess usage of electronic product.

The HLA DQA1 genes of 40 IDDM patients (including 8 cases with onset of diabetes before 14 years of age, 19 between 15-30 years and 13 after 31 years) and 51 healthy controls were studied by using for allele specific oligonucleotide probes. All of our research subjects are of Southern Chinese origin. The results showed that the HLA DQA1 52Arg(+) associated IDDM susceptibility is significantly higher in the group younger than 14 years of age (P

We present an algorithm for numerical solution of transport equation in diffusive regimes, in which the transport equation is nearly singular and its solution becomes a solution of a diffusion equation. This algorithm, which is based on the Least-squares FEM in combination with a scaling transformation, presents a good approximation of a diffusion operator in diffusive regimes and guarantees an accurate discrete solution. The numerical experiments in 2D and 3D case are given, and the numerical results show that this algorithm is correct and efficient.

Trans-cinnamaldehyde, the main component of volatile oil from cassia twig or Cinnamomum cassia, which is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Trans-cinnamaldehyde is a kind olefine aldehyde of organic compounds and has many pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, and neuroprotection etc. The compound has preventive and therapeutic effects on the nervous system, cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. Trans-cinnamaldehyde, as a preventive care of nature medicine, has great clinical and market potential. This paper gives a review about the pharmacological effects and mechanism of trans-cinnamaldehyde researched in the latest five years. We hope to provide some basic information for further research on trans-cinnamaldehyde.

0.05) between two groups.Conclusion Two surgicel porcedures offer smilar results in the surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.Both techniques are equally safe,small traumatic,pain controllable,and there are little postoprerative complications and the relapse rate is very low.

AIM: To explore the effects of prostaglandi n I 2 (PGI 2) on mesenteric microcirculation and hemorheology during renal isch emia/reperfusion (IR) injury. METHODS: 36 rabbits were randomly distributed into the sham oper ated group (sham group), renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group (IR group) and PGI 2+IR group(PGI 2 group). IR group received clamping for 60 min follow ed by 120 min of reperfusion. A microcircular microscope image analysis system w as used to study the changes of mesenteric microcirculation and hemorheology at 60 min of ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion, respectively, while the blood sa mples were obtained for the measurement of hemorheological indexes. RESULTS: ① In IR group during the period of renal IR, the numb er of adhesive leukocytes and microthrombus, hemorrhage and hemorheological ind exes such as blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, blood reduction viscosity, he matocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, eryt hrocyte sedimentation rate K and plasma fibrinogen were significantly higher, w hile microvascular diameters, blood flow velocity and erythrocyte deformation i ndex were significantly lower compared with sham group (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PGI 2 ameliorates the disturbance of mesenteric microcirculation and hemorheology caused by renal IR injury with the best effect at 10 ng?kg -1?min -1.

Aime To study the anti-C. albicans activity of baicablin,and to explore its anti-C.albicans mechanism preliminarily. Method ① The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration(MFC) of baicalin against C.albicans were determined by microdilution method. ② By means of incorporation experiment of isotope-labelled precursor, the incorporation inhibitation rates of [ 3H]-TdR,[ 3H]-UdR,[ 3H]-leucine were measured after treatment with various concentrations of baicalin respectively. Result ① The MIC and MFC of baicalin (above purity 98%) against C albicans(1?107 cfu?L -1) were both 1.0 g?L -1. The MIC and MFC of baicalin (above 98% purity) against C albicans(2.5?107 cfu?L -1) both 2.0 g?L -1. ② The dose of baicalin of 0.5, 1 and 2 MIC could obviously inhibit incorporation of the precursors and there were significant differences among the inhibition rate of three precursors incorporation (P0.05). Conclusion ① Baicalin had strong anti-C albicans activity in vitro. ② Baicalin(above purity 98%) could obviously inhibit incorporation of [ 3H]-TdR, [ 3H]-UdR and [ 3H]-leucine into C albicans and the incorporation inhibition rate of [ 3H]-UdR was highest among them, suggesting that the anti-C albicans mechanism of baicalin may be involved with the inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis.

Objective To explore the methylation status of Rap1 GTPase activating protein (Rap1GAP) promoter in colon cancer, and to provide the oretical basis and research direction for the early diagnosis, targeted therapy, anti-multidrug resistance of colon cancer and so on. Methods The paraffin embedded specimens of 33 patients with colonic adenocarcinoma diagnosed by pathology were analyzed from Department of Pathology of Xinzhou City People′s Hospital from January 2010 to September 2014, including 19 males and 14 females, and aged 41-72 years old. The paraffin embedded specimens of 16 patients with colonic adenoma were enrolled, including 9 males and 7 females, and aged 34-58 years old. 13 normal tissues from the tumor distal margin (from the tumor > 15 cm) were selected. Quantitative methylation specific PCR (q-MSP) was applied to detect methylation level of Rap1GAP gene promoter. The methylation level differences of Rap1GAP gene promoter region among 3 groups or between different clinicopathologic factor subgroups were compared. Results The methylation rates [median (interquartile range)] of Rap1GAP promoter were 65.43 % (50.35 %), 21.37 % (8.39 %) and 17.43 % (15.71 %) in colonic adenocarcinoma group, colonic adenoma group and adjacent normal tissue group, respectively. The methylation rate of colonic adenocarcinoma group was significantly higher than that of colon adenoma group or that of adjacent normal tissue group (P< 0.05). The methylation rates of Rap1GAP promoter in colonic adenocarcinoma were not correlation with age, sex, differentiation and the stage of TNM [ male vs. female: 42.74 % (70.44 %) vs. 21.98%(80.00%);≤60yearsoldvs.>60yearsold:36.26%(62.62%)and26.23%(76.42 %);well-differentiated vs. moderately/poorly-differentiated: 21.98 % (40.32 %) vs. 42.74 % (74.20 %); TNM Ⅰ-Ⅱ vsⅢ-Ⅳ: 25.31 % (48.27 %) vs. 36.26 % (75.55 %); all P> 0.05]. Conclusion The methylation status of RAP1GAP promoter maybe associate with genesis and development of colon cancer, which might be used as a target for early diagnose of colon cancer.
