Objective To summarize the experience of general anesthesia management in pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension who had to undergo cesarean section. Methods Clinical data, anesthesia methods and outcome of 6 pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension were analyzed. Among them, 1 case of patent ductus arteriosus had to undergo cesarean section twice, because the interval time of twice cesarean section was longer (2 years), and the number of pregnant women was counted to 7 cases. Results Seven patients had to undergo cesarean section with general anesthesia, and all the pregnant women′s hemodynamic were stable during the operation. After operation, 1 pregnant woman discharged from hospital against the doctor′s advices because of massive brain infarction, and the others were all rehabilitated. Seven newborns status:preterm in 3 cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 2 cases, the Apgar score of the others newborns was 9-10 scores. Conclusions Pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension have high peri-operative risk, especially those who undergo general anesthesia. To improve the survival rate, anesthetist should reinforce the perioperative care, maintain oxygen supply, reduce the stress response, maintain the preload and blood pressure, and avoid the increasing of pulmonary pressure.

Chinese traditional medicine has provided, since ancient times, a basis for health care and medicine to the Chinese nation and for China's national stability. Identification of the constituents responsible for therapeutic and undesired effects of Chinese herbal medicines is a type of key research facilitating the modernization of these medicines. For a complex Chinese herbal medicine, multi-compound pharmacokinetic research is a useful approach to identifying its constituents that are bioavailable (in their unchanged and/or metabolized forms) at loci responsible for the medicine's therapeutic action and to characterizing the compounds' disposition and pharmacokinetics related to the action. In addition, such pharmacokinetic research is also useful for identifying herbal compounds associated with the medicine's adverse effects and drug-drug interaction potential. Over the past decade, great advances have been achieved in the theory, methodology, associated techniques, and their application of such multi-compound pharmacokinetic research, which has become an emerging field in pharmacokinetics. In this perspective, we elaborate on the methodology, technical requirements, and key analytical techniques of multi-compound pharmacokinetic research on Chinese herbal medicines, describe research examples regarding investigation of pharmacokinetics and disposition of a class of bioactive herbal constituents (ginsenosides of

OBJECTIVETo study regular patterns of cone artifact resulted from interpolation algorithm of spiral CT.
METHODSBased on the principle of interpolation algorithm and back-projection reconstruction, a mathematical model of the reconstructed image was established to clarify the relation of the scanning parameters and the characteristics of the scanned object with the cone artifact. Experiments were carried out by a set of acrylic phantoms on siemens plus 4 CT scanners.
RESULTSThe artifact in the image was directly proportional to the table increment per gantry rotation of the scanner, and was positively correlated to the tangent of half cone-angle and inversely to the radii in the reconstruction plane of the phantom. The theoretical analysis was validated by experimental results.
CONCLUSIONThe cone artifact is related to the scanning parameters and the characteristics of the scanned object.

10.Clinical effect of removable lingual arch plus auxiliary spring for dental arch expansion.
Journal of Southern Medical University 2007;27(4):546-547
OBJECTIVEObserve the clinical effect of removable lingual arch plus auxiliary spring for convenient dental (especially mandibular) arch expansion.
METHODSSeventeen patients with dental arch constriction complicated by mild dental crowding were enrolled in this study, including 9 requiring maxillary arch expansion and 8 necessitating mandibular expansion. The patients were divided to two groups at random for arch expansion with removable lingual arch plus auxiliary spring and with Quad-helix, respectively, and the effect of arch expansion was compared between the two groups.
RESULTSAfter 8 weeks of arch expansion, the average width of U4-U4 and U5-U5 in removable lingual arch group was enlarged by 2.2 mm and 3.0 mm, and that in Quad-helix group by 2.3 mm and 3.5 mm, respectively, showing no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). After 12 weeks of treatment, the average width of L4-L4 and L5-L5 in the former group was enlarged by 2.3 mm and 2.5 mm, respectively, significantly greater than that in the latter group (1.0 mm and 1.2 mm, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONRemovable lingual arch plus auxiliary spring allows significant expansion of the middle segment of the dental arch (bicuspids), and can be more effective than Quad-helix for mandibular arch expansion.
