Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(19):2985-2987
Objective To sum up the characteristics of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS)and acute pancreatitis,to improve the understanding of the cases of atypical HFRS,reduce the misdiagnosis rate and improve the cure rate.Methods 3 cases of HFRS complicated with acute pancreatitis in our hospital from 2011 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 3 cases were middle -aged men,with an average age of 46.6,of which two cases occurred in Huangling county in the city,the remaining 1 case occurred in Yichuan county of the city. Occupation was the railway workers,drivers,farmers.Respectively occurred in February,July,December.3 cases of blood routine,urine routine,blood coagulation performance were consistent performance for RBC,WBC,PLT decrease;hematuria,proteinuria;3 cases of plasma amylase were higher than that of more than 3 times the normal value,the serum lipase was higher than the more than 3 times the normal value;hemorrhagic fever antibodies were positive;treatment of 2 cases with hemodialysis treatment,1 case underwent intestinal dialysis treatment,successful treatment of all.Conclusion HFRS with acute pancreatitis patients were less,easy to be misdiagnosed or ignored,easy illness of incur loss through delay and once with acute pancreatitis will add to the original condition,treatment more difficult tend to have higher mortality rate.It should be according to the clinical manifestations,early blood and urine amylase, abdominal B ultrasound and CT examinations of the abdomen as soon as possible,to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, take appropriate treatment measures,especially blood dialysis treatment,can reduce the mortality rate.

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme related to skin pigmentation disorders of elderly people, while self-aggregation of the amyloid-beta peptide, Abeta42, has been considered as a key event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study was undertaken to investigate the inhibitory effects of 20 samples from Rhodiola species on tyrosinase and Abeta42 aggregation, and to isolate their corresponding bioactive components. The results demonstrated that the oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) commonly found in Rhodiola species were the major bioactive components corresponding to their anti-tyrosinase and anti-Abeta42 aggregation bioactivities. Salidroside, a representative compound of Rhodiola plants, proved not to be active in the present studies.

Echinacea is a most famous "immune herb" in western countries, and continues to be the best selling herb for many years. For the last five years, our research group has cooperated with Institute of Medicinal Plants in Huairou District of Beijing, carrying out studies on Echinacea purpurea, which involved botany, cultivation, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, quality control, pharmacology and toxicology of the species. Two other species introduced from Canada, Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida, were also included in the taxonomic, cultivated and pharmacognostic studies. The results acquired have opened up the path to introduce Echinacea species into Traditional Chinese Medicine, thus established the possibility of developing more promising drugs from them.

A retrospective analysis was made on the effectiveness of with laparoscopy model in hepatoma surgery teaching for general practice residency training. One hundred and forty general practice residents undertook rotation in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2020. Seventy residents received multi-disciplinary team (MDT) with laparoscopy mode in hematoma surgery teaching (study group) and another 70 residents received conventional teaching mode (control group). After completing the study, the teaching effectiveness was compared between two groups. The questionnaire survey showed that the satisfaction score in study group was higher than that in control group (21.10±0.31 vs.17.48±0.35, P<0.05). The scores of clinical skill, graduation examination and case analysis in study group were all higher than those in control group(91.80±4.82 vs. 85.20±4.34, 87.5±4.1 vs. 85.1±3.6, 77.25±3.38 vs. 73.65±3.06, all P<0.05). The study indicates that laparoscopic combined with MDT teaching model can significantly improve the effectiveness of hepatoma surgery study for general practice residents, and is worthy of popularization and application in general surgery teaching.

Background and purpose:In recent years,domestic radiotherapy equipment and related software have made great progress,and testing the functionality and stability of the equipment and software is an essential step.This paper focused on comparing the differences in intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)plans dosimetry and organ at risk(OAR)volume calculations for common cancers between uRT-treatment planning system(TPS)and Monaco-TPS,and to evaluate the feasibility of dose calculation for Infinity linac(linear accelerator,Elekta,Sweden)using uRT-TPS.Methods:Twenty cases of rectal cancer,lung cancer,breast cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma were selected.The IMRT plans were completed in uRT-TPS and Monaco-TPS.The dose uniformity and conformity,mean dose,maximum dose of planning target volume(PTV)and OAR between two plans under the same prescribed dose of PTV were compared.And the pass rates of two TPS plans validated at the same linear accelerator were compared.Meanwhile,monitor units(MU),source skin distance(SSD)and the volume of OAR in uRT-TPS and Monaco-TPS were compared.Results:Wonderful plans that met the clinical requirements were obtained in uRT-TPS and Monaco-TPS.Comparable uniformity and conformability was received in PTV,and the maximum dose of PTV was reduced by 1.1 Gy for uRT-TPS(P = 0.006).For breast cancer and lung cancer,the dose in lung was lower for Monaco-TPS(P<0.05).For nasopharyngeal carcinoma,the dose indicators that oral cavity and throat in the uRT-TPS was reduced by 9.2%and 5.1%,respectively.The verification results of absolute point dose(<3%)and three-dimensional surface dose(>95%)for both plans met the clinical requirements.The region of interest in uRT-TPS was smaller compared with Monaco-TPS(P<0.05).Conclusion:A comparable IMRT plan was obtained for common tumors in uRT-TPS and Monaco-TPS.It is feasible to calculate the dose of Infinity linac using uRT-TPS.
