The data of 6 patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism were retrospectively analyzed.The first symptom in 3 patients was bone ache,1 with lower extremity weakness,1 with swelling of lower limbs,and 1 with increase serum alkaline phosphatase.5 patients had past history of renal failure,1 case suffered from severe intestinal malabsorption,and 4 of them had renal transplantation.X-ray showed subperiosteal bone resorption,bone demineralization,or cellulose osteitis.5 subjects presented with osteoporosis,and 1 of them had fractures.Left atrioventricular membrane calcification and gluteal calcification were found in each of 2 cases.4 patients suffered from hypercalcaemia,2 patients with normal serum calcium,4 with hypophosphataemia,and 6 with high levels of PTH.Pathological results showed adenoma in parathyroid gland in 4 patients and enlarged parathyroid glands in 2 patients.Serum calcium and PTH levels returned to normal after operation and calcium supplement.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of life and functional outcome of the first hemiparetic stroke patients. Methods One hundred and eighteen stroke subjects were registered prospectively. The Barthel index (BI) , Rankin scale (RS) , Mortricity index(MI) , Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) , Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) and a scale of general state and risk factors were used to evaluate at the 48th hour, the 15th day and the 90th day after stroke. Results The patients' performance, as demonstrated by their scores with all the evaluation instruments, changed significantly at all the time points of evaluation after stroke (P ＜0.05). There was no significant difference between the performance at the 48th hour and the 15th day after stroke ( P ＞ 0.05 ). But at the 90th day after stroke, the activity of daily living performance and the depression status recovered significantly (P ＜ 0.01 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that, such factors as pneumonia, urinary incontinence within 48th hour and deep sensation disturbance might adversely influence patients' activity of daily living performance at the 90th day after stroke; the muscle strength of upper extremities at the 48th hour, and MMSE scores at the 15th day after stroke acted as the protective factors. Conclusions The stroke patients improved significantly with regard to their clinical and functional manifestations when evaluated 90 days after stroke onset. The main factors influencing the activity of daily living performance 90 days after stroke onset included deep sensation disturbance,pneumonia, urinary incontinence and muscles strength of upper extremities at 48th hour, and MMSE scores at the 15th days after onset.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum tumor markers levels with the disease condition activity and the tumor occurrence in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Serum tumor marker CA199,CA153 levels were de-tected in 35 patients with RA (RA group)and 31 healthy controls(normal control group).ESR and CRP were examined and the disease activity (DA)was assessed by the DAS28 score in the RA group.The serum tumor markers levels and the positive rates were compared between the RA group and the normal control group.The correlation between the serum tumor markers levels with ESR,CRP and DAS28 score was analyzed.Results Serum levels and positives rate of CA199,CA153 in the RA group were higher than those in the control group(P <0.05).The serum CA153 level had a positive correlation with the ESR,CRP and DAS28 score in the RA group(P <0.05),but the serum CA199 level had no significant correlation with them.Conclusion The serum levels and positive rates of CA199 and CA199 could be increased in the patients with RA,moreover the increase of serum CA153 level is corre-lated with DA of RA.Therefore the serum tumor marker CA153 level may be used as one of reference indexes for evaluating the DA in the patients with RA.

Objctive:To investigate the immunohistochemical and morphological characteristics of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTM) ,and differential diagnosis of the related disease.Methods:The morphological characteristics of 223 patients with PTM were observed under light microscope.Seventy-four cases of PTM and 32 cases of proliferative lesion of thyroid were observed under light microscope with stains of hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining.The antibody included CK19,MC,Galectin-3 and CD56.Results:Eighty-six cases were follicular-patterned and 31 cases nuclear features were untypical in 223 cases of PTM.The positive expression rates of CK19、MC、 Galectin-3、CD56 were 100.0%,98.6%,98.6% and 4.1% in 74 cases of PTM,and were 37.5%,12.5%,18.8%,68.8% in proliferative lesion of thyroid,respectively.Conclusion:Some cases of PTM show a follicular-patterned and the nuclear features.It is untypical compared with classical papillary thyroid carcinoma.It can be differentiated from proliferative lesion with absence of envelope,obviously various and unusually proliferated follicular cells,sclerotic stroma,neoplastic follicles among the collagen and normal follicles.The wide and intensive expression of CK19,Galectin-3,and the negative expression of CD56 are extremely useful in the diagnosis of PTM,four-marker panel with CK19,Galectin-3,MC and CD56 can improve the specificity and accuracy of the differential diagnosis of PTM.

Objective To assess the different methods and their outcomes of interventional therapy for stenosis or occlusion in superior vena cava and its branches. Methods Sixty patients with stenosis or occlusion of SVC and its branches were retrospectively analyzed after interventional therapy. Among them, 38 were males and 22 were females, with age range from 15 to 72 years old(mean age 58). Seventeen patients were treated by thrombolysis, and the rest 43 patients accepted percutaneous angioplasty and stenting. Before and after that, the pressures within the vein were measured at the inflow side. The paired-t test was used for statistical analysis. Results After treatment, the pressure at the inflow side dropped from (24.8±2.3)mm Hg to (7.1±1.5)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), with a significant difference(t=3.232,P＜0.01). The clinical outcomes included complete relief in 27 patients, partial relief in 28 patients and non-relief in 5 patients. No major complications occurred. During 6 months follow up, restenosis occurred in 10 patients, among whom 6 received repeat intervention with good results. The other 4 patients turned to surgery .Conclusion Interventional therapy for stenosis or occlusion in SVC and its branches could recanalize the vessels, restore the blood flow and relief the clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore more suitable calculation method of the insulin dosage in insulin hypoglycemia-growth hormone stimulation test(insulin tolerance test, ITT). Methods Fifty-six subjects suspected of growth hormone deficiency were divided into primary and secondary onset groups. All the patients took oral glucose tolerance test and ITT. Homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index ( ISI), area under insulin curve ( AUCINS ) and the area under glucose curve ( AUCPG ) were calculated. The insulin dosages during ITT between two groups were compared and the main factors influencing the insulin dosage were analyzed. Results There was no difference in the insulin dosage during ITT between primary and secondary groups. The actual dosage of insulin in this cohort study revealed a significant difference from the initial insulin dosage recommended by the guideline. Multiple linear regression analysis found that AUCINS and body mass index were the independent factors affecting the insulin dosage. Then the optimized coefficient of ITT ( γ) were found. Conclusion The insulin dosage used in our study was inconsistent with the guidelines-recommended ones. In order to make ITT more efficient and safer, a more optimized calculation method to improve the successful rate of insulin-induced hypoglycemia in ITT is proposed.

Objective To detect mechanism of action mode of Jiuxieling Granules in spleen and kidney yang deficiency ulcerative colitis. Methods The perfusion of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma Decoction plus intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone and combined with TNBS and ethanol enema were employed to establish UC animal model. Ninety rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, SASP group and Jiuxieling Granules 7 days, 14 days and 21 days groups. All treatment groups received relevant medicine intervention. The levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γin serum and colon tissue were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the blank group, the levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ in serum and colon tissues of rats in model group increased (P<0.05);compared with the model group, the levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γin serum and colon tissues of rats in treatment groups were reduced greatly (P<0.05), among which Jiuxieling Granules 21 days group showed the most obvious effects (P<0.05). Conclusion Jiuxieling Granules can regulate the normal secretion of the levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γin serum and colon tissue of model rats, and inhibit inflammation and protect colonic mucosa.

Objective To investigate the regulating effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (ZJJF) on Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 in hippocampus neuron damage in diabetes mellitus with depression (DD). Methods Hippocampal neurons from 18 d pregnant rats were primitively cultivated, and then combination of glucose and corticosterone was used to construct DD simulation environment. Cultivated hippocampal neurons were randomly divided into normal group, blank serum group, model group, positive medicine (metformin+fluoxetine) serum group and to-be-tested medicine (ZJJF) serum group. Normal group and model group were given same amount culture medium, while other group were given relevant amont of 10％ medicine serum or blank serum. After modeling intervention for 18 h,Hoechst staining was used to detect the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. The expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 was detected by high content analysis. Results Compared with the control group, hippocampal neuron dendrites ruptured or decreased, neural network connection decreased, cells showed significant staining, broken, uneven distribution of light spots, the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly (P<0.05), but Bax and Caspase-8 were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, hippocampal neurons in both positive medicine serum group and ZJJF serum group gradually recovered. Hoechst staining showed that the nuclei were significantly homogenized, local highlights were significantly reduced, Bcl-2 protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), while Bax and Caspase-8 were obviously down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion ZJJF has protective effects on hippocampal neurons in DD of model rats, and its mechanism is related to regulating the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 in hippocampus neuron.
