Objective: To study clinical significance of endogenous vitamin C 、 E in patients With hypertension and stroke. Methods: The serum vitamin C、 E, Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry in patients with hypertension (23 cases)、 hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (CH, 30 cases)、 ischemic cerebrovascular disorders (IC, 25 cases) and control groups (20 cases). Results: Compared with control group, at acute stage of stroke, the Vit C、 E and SOD levels significantly reduced (P＜0. 01), the MDA level significantly increased (P＜0.01); at convalescent stage, the Vit C、 E gradually recover to normal, the SOD still reduced (P＜0.05), the MDA still incresed (P＜0.05). Conclusion: The endogenous Vit C、 E have significant change in patients with acute stage of stroke, it gradually recovers to normal in convalescent stage. Meanwhile the SOD and MDA change accordingly.

Objective To explored the moderate effect of perceived organizational support on job burnout-health complaint relationship and job burnout-task performance relationship. Methods Maslach burnout inventory-general survey, the perceived organizational support scale, health complaint scale and task performance scale were used to test 458 teachers in colleges of Armed Police. Results Emotional exhaustion and cynicism were positively related to health complaint (r = 0. 616,0. 4377;P < 0. 01). Emotional exhaustion and cynicism indicated obviously predicted effect on health complaint(β =0.562, P<0. 01;β =0. 144, P<0.05). Reduced personal accomplishment predicted task performance obviously(β = -0.248, P<0.01). Hierarchical multiple regression showed perceived organizational support can regulate the relationship between emotional exhaustion and task per-formance(△R~2 =0.031, P<0.01). Conclusion Job burnout positively predicted health Complaint. The higher the job burnout was, the more seriously the health Complaint. Reduced personal accomplishment negatively predicted task performance. Perceived organizational support had moderate effect on emotional exhaustion and task performance relationship. It relieved the negative effect of emotional exhaustion on task performance.

OBJECTIVETo observe the curative effect of Qianjin Kouchuang Jiawei Granule (QKJG) on recurrent oral ulceration [yin deficiency fire excess type (YDFET)].

METHODSTotally 120 patients who suffered from recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET) were randomly assigned to two groups, the experiment group and the control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the experiment group took QKJG, 20 g each time, twice per day, while those in the control group took Kouyanqing Granule (KG) , 20 g each time, twice per day. Fourteen days consisted of one therapeutic course, two for all. Scores for patients' symptoms and signs (ulcer area, exudation, hyperaemia, edema, the number of ulceration, burning sensation, and pain degrees) were assessed before treatment, at day 3 and 7 after treatment. Short-term efficacy was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The total paralysis time and the total number of ulceration at month 12 after treatment were taken as judgment for long-term efficacy. Results Compared with before treatment in the same group, symptoms and signs were obviously improved at day 3 and 7 after treatment in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group at day 3 after treatment, the improvement of edema, exudation, pain degree, and burning sensation was more obvious in the experiment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The improvement of edema, pain degree, and burning sensation at day 7 after treatment was more obvious in the experiment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). As for short-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 86.67% (52/60 cases) in the experiment group and 83.33% (50/60 cases) in the control group, with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). As for long-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 90.00% (54/60 cases) in the experiment group, significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical difference [81.67% (49/60 cases), P < 0.05]. At month 12 after treatment, the total number of ulceration was reduced and the paralysis time of ulcer attack prolonged in the experiment group, with statistical difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONQKJG showed better long-term efficacy than that of KG in treating recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET).

Objective To explore the effect of icariin on stimulating Smad4 mRNA level in MC3T3-E1 cells. Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were treated by 0 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, 20 ng/ml, 40 ng/ml icariin respectively. MTT method and population diploid time were applied to observe the cell proliferation. The cell ALP level was measured by atomic absorptiometry and the type Ⅰ collagen was observed by immunohisto-chemistry. RT-PCR was used to find the Smad4 mRNA level in the MC3T3-E1 cells. Results Under the inversion phase contrast microscopy, MC3T3-E1 cells were oligodendrocytes-shaped rich with cell organs. The cells density in 10 ng/ml, 20 ng/ml were higher than those in 0 ng/ml,40 ng/ml. Cell growth curve in 10 ng/ml was higher than other 3 groups and the 20ng/ml was higher than 0 ng/ml, 40 ng/ml groups( P

Purpose:To report three cases of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) transformed to atypical chronic myeloid leukemia(aCML).Methods:Compared the clinical findings,hemograms and bone marrow features in two different courses of the disease,discussed with review of related literatures.Results:The three patients were all old age.They onset with chronic anemia,the results of BM smear were MDS-RAS and MDS-RAEB;Then leukocytosis occurred in 6-65 months.The aCML were diagnosed according to the BM smear and normal chromosome.Conclusions:The MDS/MPD is a new category of the WHO classification that have both dysplastic and proliferative features.Atypical CML lacks the Ph chromosome and BCR/ABL fusion gene that are the hallmarks of classic CML.This kind of case is seldom seen.

Objective To introduce laminar shelling decompression technique and to discuss its benefit for decompression of thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum. Methods 102 patients were diagnosed as thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum, 63 males and 39 females with an average age of 49.7 years (range, 33 to 71 years). 99 cases suffered with sensation disturbance, 73 cases with constriction on trunk or lower limbs, 77 cases with sphincter dysfunction. The IMSOP Standard Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury was applied for localized the level of thoracic spondylopathy. The JOA lower limb motor function standard and sphincter function standard were used to evaluate the ability of lower limb motion and sphincter function respectively. In the decompression the dorsal cortex of lamina was the first layer to resect, the facet joint surface indicate the depth for removing the second layer, then thinning the ossified tissue by shaving with the motor bur until it was somewhat lucent. Finally decompress the spinal canal by moth eaten manner. Results The mean decompression length was 2.8 lamina(2 to 4 lamina). The mean follow-up duration was 18.9 months (3 to 41 months). Among 99 sensation disturbance 69 totally recovered, 30 relived. 73 cases with the feel of constriction of trunk or lower limbs were completely recovered. Postoperative JOA sphincter function score was 2.632?0.407, comparing with the preoperation score, and the difference was significant (t=15.93, P

Objective To investigate the pathological and physiopathological difference between the ruptured” and the “degenerated” typed lumbar disc herniation (RDH and DDH) by measurement of the pressure of the herniated lumbar disc both in the herniated site and in the nucleus pulposus during the surgery, combined with the clinical,light microscopical and immunohistochemical properties. Methods Fifty seven cases of lumbar disc herniation undergone operation in the Tianjin Medical University Hospital were included in this study. The patients were divided into 2 groups. 1) Rupture typed lumbar disc herniation in which the herniated chip of the lumbar disc separated from the parent disc and was squeesed or drew out easily when the superficial posterior longitudenal ligament and anulus fibrosis were opened in the herniated site. 2) Degenerated typed lumber disc herniation in which no herniated chip of the lumber disc escaped; the herniated material can not be taken out unless the disc was resected by the instrument. Before the herniated disc was incised, the intervertebral disc pressure was measured using GENERAA710 multifunctional monitor. Both the light microscopical and the immunohistochemical difference between the RDH and the DDH was studied. Results 1) In the herniated site, the pressure in the RDH is higher than that in the DDH(P0.05). 3) In the RDH, the pressure in the herniated site is higher than that in the nucleus pulposus (P0.05). 5) The“lumbar pain score”and the pressure have obviously relationship in all of 35 patients(r=0.539,P
