Objective To investigate the changes of plasma vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and glucagon (Glu) in congestive heart failure and its clinical significance. Methods The levels of plasma VIP and Glu were measured with radioimmunoassay in 40 patients with congestive heart failure, including 15 patients with cardiac function in degree Ⅰ, 25 cases with cardiac function in degree ⅡⅣ, and 23 normal children who were served as controls. Results The levels of plasma VIP and Glu increased than that in normal control group[(43.22?5 48) ng/L vs(32.24?4.46) ng/L, P

Objective To investigate the change of P300 of the attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder children before and after they took litalin, according to this objective subject to guide the clinical treatment of ADHD children. Methods Using the looking se-ducible electricity stimulates 22 ADHD children, and check the change of latency and the rate of the wave before and after they took litalin. Results After ADHD children took litalin, their latency of P300 has decreased clearly, and the amplitude had no change. Conclusion The changes of P300 latency in ADHD children after they took litalin can be adopted as the guidelines of clinical treatment for the ADHD children.

Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital anomalies that usually present in childhood and occasionally in adults. They are most common in the ileum, but can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract from the mouth to the anus. We report a 24-year-old woman who presented with a giant chylous ileum cyst duplication. To our knowledge, there is only one other report of a patient with a giant chylous cyst in the literature.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic efficacy of unilateral multiple channels approach in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
METHODSA retrospective review (from March 2003 to October 2012) was conducted on 685 consecutive patients, a total of 885 vertebrae were involved. Eighty-two cases (99 vertebrae) with bone cement leakage when less than 0.3 ml bone cement was injected to fill the fracture were given PVP procedure by unilateral multiple channels approach. 38 cases were male (45 vertebrae) and 44 cases were female (54 vertebrae). The average age was 75.4 years old (from 69 to 92). The operation time, amount of injected bone cement and complications were recorded. Rate of excellent and good outcomes was studied by measuring the cement distribution on the X-ray film. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) system were used to evaluate the pain relief and improvement of daily activity function respectively at preoperation and 1 hour, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation.
RESULTSAll these ninety-nine vertebrae were treated in 82 cases with PVP of unilateral multiple channels approach. The average operation time was 33 minutes. The rate of excellent and good outcomes of cement distribution was 98.8%. The VAS score was (8.40 +/- 0.73) before surgery,and (2.50 +/- 0.43), (2.00 +/- 0.33), (1.80 +/- 0.28), (2.10 +/- 0.17) at 1 hour, 1 month,3 months and 6 months respectively after operation. ODI was (40.94 +/- 2.72) before surgery, (9.64 +/- 2.60) at 1 month after surgery, (8.52 +/- 2.30) at 3 months after surgery and (7.77 +/- 2.15) at the final follow-up. The differences of the VAS and ODI between pre-operation and post-operation had statistical significance (P<0.01). No spine or nerve injuries occurred intraoperatively.
CONCLUSIONThe unilateral multiple channels approach in percutaneous vertebroplasty can obviously relieve the pain and effectively improve the functional activity, provide a satisfied cement distribution in vertebral body with cement leakage after a small amount infusion.

We present that the modern basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is a new science in this article. To demonstrate the problem new discipline faced and needed to be understood, firstly we want to clear the related concepts of discipline and traditional Chinese medicine from an international perspective achieving the original inten-tion of deepening the research field, forming a discipline branch and towards modern teaching. Secondly, we explore the discipline classification system and in which the location of traditional Chinese medicine and theory of traditional Chinese medicine discipline, and then explore the discipline overall regularity of occurrence, development and demise focusing on regularity and evaluation criteria reveal of medicine and traditional Chinese medicine disciplines. On this basis, we demonstrate the discipline property and location of new scientific disciplines of modern basic theo-ry of traditional Chinese medicine, subjects and fields, direction and meaning and then draw a credible conclusion in accordance with deductive reasoning.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Compound Rhizoma Coptidis capsule (CRCC) on hemorheology and blood lipid in rats with diabetes mellitus(DM). METHODS: DM model was induced by alloxan. The effects of CRCC on hemorheology and blood lipid in DM rats were observed. RESULTS: The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), lipoprotein, the whole blood viscosity, the whole blood reductive viscosity, aggregation index (AI), rigidity index (IR), distortion deformation transformation index (TK) and fibrinogen (Fib) were all increased by CRCC, while the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) was increased. CONCLUSION: CRCC can significantly improve the abnormalities in hemorheology and lipid metabolism in DM rats.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of sevoflurane on the brain against focal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury and its mechanism.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly allocated into 3 groups(n=8 each):group Ⅰ sham operation;grouop Ⅱ I/R and group Ⅲ I/R + sevoflurane.The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate 300 mg?kg~(-1).Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)was produced by insertion of a 4-0 mono-filament nylon thread with rounded tip at bifurcation of right common carotid artery into internal carotid artery.The nylon thread was advanced cranially until resistance was felt.The depth of insertion was 18-20 mm.After 3 h MCAO the thread was withdrawn to allow reperfusion.In group Ⅲ the animals inhaled 1.0 MAC sevoflurane for 30 min at 30 min before reperfusion.The rectal temperature of the animals was kept at 36.5-37.5℃.At the end of 24 h reperfusion the animals were weighed again.The animals'neurological deficit was evaluated using Zea Longa score(0=no defcit,4=unable to walk and unconscious).The animals were then killed.The neuronal apoptosis in striatum was assessed(TUNEL)and the PKC protein expression in striatum was determined by immunocyto-chemistry.Results The body weight of the animals in I/R group was significantly reduced after 24h reperfusion as compared to the body weight before ischemia (P<0.01),while in control group and sevoflurane group there was no significant difference in the body weight before and after sham operation or I/R.The neurological deficit scores were significantly higher in I/R group than in sevoflurane group.The number of apoptotic neurons in striatum was significantly higher in I/R group than in sevoflurane group.The PKC expression in striatum was significantly higher in sevoflurane group than in I/R group (P<0.01).Conclusion 1.0 MAC sevoflurane inhalation has protective effect on the brain against I/R injury. Upregulation of PKC expression in striatum decreased by I/R is involved in the mechanism.
10. Effect of melatonin on blood pressure and aortic relaxation and contraction activity from hypertensive rats
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2002;18(1):46-50
AIM: To observe the hypotensive effect of melatonin (MT) on two-kidney one-clip renal hypertensive (2K1C) rats and to explore its aortic mechanism. METHODS: 2K1C rats were obtained by narrowing the left kidney artery; systolic blood pressure was measured by use of tail-cuff method; vascular actions of MT were measured using isolated blood vessel method. RESULTS: MT reduced blood pressure of 2K1C rat significantly [(C23.45 ± 2.40) kPa versus (19.81 ± 2.78) kPa, P < 0.05]; MT (10-4 mol • L-1), restored vasodilation to acetyl-choline partially (P < 0.01) and attenuated vasoconstriction to norepinephrine (P < 0.05) in isolated aortic rings from 2K1C rats. MT(10-5 ∼ 10-3 mol • L-1) also inhibited vasoconstriction of aortic rings to KCl (70 mmol · L-1) and this action had no significant difference in sham and 2K1C rats. CONCLUSION: Vascular activities of MT is one of the factors involved in its hypotensive effect. MT restores the endothelial dysfunction and the balance of oxidative condition in smooth muscle cell by its free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties.
