Objective To investigate the value of pathological examination in the diag-nosis of lethal cases due to acute poisoning.Methods The macroscopic and microscopic find-ings in 28 autopsy cases (10 cases of toxic gas,7 cases of pesticide,6 cases of drug,3 cases of alcohol and 2 cases of chinese herbal medicine) died of acute poisoning during the period from October,2001 to June,2012 were retrospectively reviewed.Results Gross Changes were found on gross examination in 22 of the 28 cases studied.Of them,7 cases died of acute carbon mono-xide poisoning had showed cherry red of Shiban,muscle,visceral organs and blood.In addition,11 and 8 cases had been found gastric mucosa hemorrhage and epicardium petechial hemorrhage respectively.Histologically,myocardial interstitial hemorrhage was observed in 9 cases,pulmonary hemorrhage in 18 cases,bronchospasm in 12 cases,cerebral hemorrhage in 4 cases,hepato-cyte necrosis in 11 cases,renal tubular necrosis in 7 cases and gastric mucosa hemorrhage in 11 cases.In 6 cases of oral pesticides poisoning,besides they had all gastric mucosa hemorrhage,the change of character of gastric contents was found in 3 cases and pesticide odor from stomach in 3 cases.In addition,acute inflammatory and necrosis of gastric wall in 6 cases of oral pesticides poisoning were observed under the light microscope.Drug addicts often suffered from chronic lesions in multiple organs,such as chronic liver disease,fatty infiltration of the myocardium with myocardial atrophy,interstitial lung disease and pulmonary foreign body granuloma.Conclusions Pathology examination is helpful in the diagnosis of some lethal cases due to acute ooisoning,and it can provide pathological basis to study on treatment of acute poisoning.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of zoledronic acid in the treatment of acute pain of vertebral compres-sion fractures during different courses. METHODS:207 patients with acute thoracic or (and) lumbar vertebral compression frac-tures were selected and randomly divided into trial group(107 cases)and control group(100 cases). Control group was given calci-um carbonate(1 200 mg/d)diclofenac sodium sustained-released tablet(75 mg/d).Trial group was additionally given zoledronic ac-id 5 mg added into 5%Glucose solution 100 ml,intravenous dripping for 15-30 min,on the basis of control group. RESULTS:Af-ter treatment,VAS score of two group decreased significantly,and trial group the decrease was more significant than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05),there was no statistical significance in VAS score between course≤one month and one month

Objective To investigate the relation of autophagy and postherpetic neuralgia in elderly patients,and provide new methods for prevention and treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.Methods One hundred thirty-five specimens were obtained from elderly patients with herpes zoster,containing 83 patients with herpes zoster plus neuralgia and 52 cases with non-neuralgia herpes zoster.The level of autophagy was determined by acridine orange-stain.The protein expressions of autophagy marker protein LC3 and autophagy related protein Beclinl were detected by Western blot.Results Flow cytometer detection after acridine orange-stain showed that mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of herpes zoster plus neuralgia patients was 0.775±0.068 and non-neuralgia herpes zoster patients was 0.342±0.025.The level of autophagy of non-neuralgia herpes zoster patients was significant lower than herpes zoster plus neuralgia patients (P<0.05).The expressions of autophagy marker protein LC3 and autophagy related protein Beclin1 detected by Western blot also showed the level of autophagy of non-neuralgia herpes zoster patients was decreased compared with herpes zoster plus neuralgia patients.Conclusions High level autophagy is risk factor for postherpetic neuralgia in elderly patients.

Objective To study the application and significance of constructivism theory in pathological experiment teaching.Methods Six classes in total of 198 students majoring in clinical medicine were selected from grade 2009 of Guangdong medical college for research and were divided into experimental group (n=99) and control group (n=99) using random number table.Various teaching methods based on constructivism theory were used in experimental group while conventional teaching methods were applied in control group.The observing ability for specimen and slices,theoretical level and learning behavior of students were assessed with the same standard and anonymous homemade questionnaire survey was executed for students.SPSS 13.0 statistical software was used to analyze the results.The examination results of the two groups were compared using independent samples t-test.The questionnaire survey results of the two groups were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum test.P<0.05 represented the difference having statistical significance.Results The observing capability for specimen and slices,theoretical level and learning behavior of students in experimental group were significantly improved (P<0.01)and the questionnaire survey results demonstrated that there were statistical difference in feedbacks between the two groups and the satisfaction rate was significantly improved in experiment group (P<0.01).Conclusions Applying comprehensive teaching methods based on constructivism theory can stimulate students' interest and initiative in learning,improve students' learning behavior and learning strategies,and significantly improve the teaching quality.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of combining extracorporeal shock waves with pulsed radiofrequency irradiation of the dorsal root ganglia in the treatment of spinal cord-derived abdominal pain. Methods A total of 88 patients were randomly divided into a control group, a shock wave group, a pulsed irradiation group and a combination group, each of 22. All of the patients were given etocoxib and pregabalin medication for 3 weeks. In ad-dition to the drugs, the shock wave group received extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and the irradiation group re-ceived pulsed radio frequency irradiation of the dorsal root ganglia. The combination group received both. A visual an-alogue scale was used to assess perceived pain. The quality of life short form 36 ( QOL-SF36) , Hamilton anxiety scale and Hamilton depression scale were administered to all 4 groups before the treatments and after 1, 4 and 12 weeks of the treatments. The development of diseases, gastrointestinal function, medical treatment and medical expenses of the 4 groups were observed for two years after the treatments. Results After 4 weeks of treatment, the average scores of all four groups in all of the evaluations had improved significantly compared with before the treatment. In combination group′s average results were significantly better than those of the other 3 groups from 4 weeks until 12 weeks after the treatment. During the subsequent two years that group′s gastrointestinal symptoms, hospital visits and medical expen-ses were all significantly lower, on average, than those of the other groups. Conclusion Extracorporeal shock waves combined with pulsed radio frequency irradiation of the dorsal root ganglia has significant clinical efficacy for alleviating spinal cord-derived abdominal pain. It can significantly reduce medical costs and is worthy of clinical pro-motion.

Objective:
To explore the genetic basis of a pedigree affected with hereditary spherocytosis.
Methods:
Peripheral blood samples were collected from 17 members of the pedigree. Genomic DNA of the proband was subjected to next generation sequencing. Candidate variant was validated by co-segregation analysis. pCAS2c.5798+ 1G and pCAS2c.5798+ 1A plasmids were constructed by homologous recombination and transfected into 293T cells. Reverse transcription PCR, TA cloning and Sanger sequencing were used to analyze the effect of candidate variant on splicing. Meanwhile, peripheral blood RNAs were extracted to analyze the effect of candidate variant on splicing
