OBJECTIVETo observe differences of clinical therapeutic effects between deep-oblique acupuncture with long needle and regular perpendicular acupuncture at Guanyuan (CV 4) for urinary retention to explore standard acupuncture method in clinic.

METHODSOne hundred and thirty-two cases of urinary retention were randomly divided into an observation group (78 cases) and a control group (54 cases). Needles with 75 mm in length were deeply and obliquely inserted into Guanyuan (CV 4) in the observation group while needles with 40 mm in length were perpendicularly inserted. Clinical therapeutic effects in two groups were observed.

RESULTSAfter treatment the total effective rate was 80.8% (63/78) in the observation group and 57.4% (31/54) in the control group, which had significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). The curative effect of postpartum retention of urine was obviously superior to that of postoperative and prostate-induced urinary retention in the ebservation group, and the effect of urinary retention due to different etiology in the observation was also superior to that in the control group in the ebservation group [in the observation group total effective rate was 88.6% (47/53) in postpartum retention of urine, 50.0% (3/6) in prostate-induced urinary retention and 68.4% (13/19) in orthopedic postoperative retention of urine while in the control group total effective rate was 69.4% (25/36) in postpartum retention of urine, 20.0% (1/5) in prostate-induced urinary retention and 38.5% (5/13) in orthopedic postoperative retention of urine)].

CONCLUSIONThe deep-oblique acupuncture with long needle at Guanyuan (CV 4) has significant curative effect on urinary retention in clinic, especially for patients with postpartum urinary retention, which could be taken as standard acupuncture method.

0 but was obviously lower than P_ sys in no endoleak. P_ sac approached P_ sys in type Ⅰ and type Ⅳ endoleaks. Some researches showed that P_ sac in type Ⅱ endoleak was higher than that in no endoleak and even approached P_ sys , however the other researches showed that P_ sac in type Ⅱ endoleak was lower than that in no endoleak. Conclusion Postoperative P_ sac dropping greatly eliminated the risk of aneurysm rupture, which symbolized the success of endovascular therapy. Even if the type Ⅰ endoleak of small size might lead to obvious elevation of P_ sac , which necessitates management. The impairment and management tactics of type Ⅱ endoleak remained equivocal, which required further study.

Objective To isolate the anti-tumor protein groups from Pinellia ternata rhizome and investigate the anti-tumor activity of these protein groups on Bel-7402 cell. Methods The total raw protein was isolated with sepharose column chromatography. Methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolinm (MTT) was used to analyze the effect of Pinellia ternata Protein on inhibiting growth of tumor cells. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results The 30% and 60% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part of total proteins from Pinellia ternata rhizome have no certain relationship between quantity and inhibitory action, but protein peak 3 eluted with 0.05 mol/L or 0.1 mol/L NaCl from 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part showed a effect of concentration depending. FCM analysis showed that the protein of 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part could induce apoptosis. Conclusion The 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part of total proteins from Pinellia ternata rhizome could significantly inhibit Bel-7402 growth and induce its apoptosis.

Objective To form the basis of establishing a strategy for safe blood donor recruitment and to identify and subdivide the structures of donors.Methods Demographic data of blood donors, and blood testing results of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, and syphilis, from Nov. 2004 to Jun. 2005, were collected and analyzed.Results Among the 45270 voluntary blood donors, the total positive test rate were 3.11%, which was related to age, level of education and occupation of blood donors. About 76.7% of donors were young people, aged from 18 to 30. As the age increased, female donors were less than male ones. Among all the donors, 81.6% received higher education, which had lower positive test rate than those with lower level of education. Among the 45270 donors, farmers had the highest positive test rate; workers and service people came the second; students and medical staff had the lowest. As to donors with incomplete record, the positive test rate was higher than those with complete record.Conclusion During blood donor recruitment, quality control is important. People younger than 30, with student or higher education background, are relatively safe to recruit.

Objective To find out factors influencing voluntary blood donation activities and establish the most appropriate method for recruiting blood donors. Methods Questionnaire investigation of donors and data analysis by SPSS+ software. Results In Chengdu city, 2385 residents' knowledge on nonrenumerated blood donation was as follows: among the 2385 residents, the percentage of people who knew the government policies of blood donation was high (87.5%), but the percentage having common knowledge of blood donation was only 29.4%, of risk behavior was 32.5%. Among the 1349 participants who had donated blood, the percentages having common knowledge of blood donation and risk behavior were 33.4% and 38.1% respectively, compared to the 1036 participants who never donated (24.2% and 25.1%, respectively)(P

Objective By using estradiol(E2) as positive control to observe the effects of genistein(GST) on the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 mRNA levels of HSC-T6 cell in vitro.Methods HSC-T6 cells were exposed to different concentrations of E2 0.1?mol/L and GST 0.5-50?mol/L for 36 hours.The TIMP-1 mRNA levels were measured by the quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results The TIMP-1 mRNA levels of HSC-T6 cells at different concentrations of E2 and GST were lower than those of the normal control(P

Objective To investigate the survival rates of main malignant tumors in Nanhui district. Methods Total 5 783 cases, registered as new cases with malignant neoplasm from 2002 to 2004 in Nanhui, were followed up. Data was studied by survival analysis with SPSS 13.0 of life table and Kaplan -Meier. Results The average annual crude incidence of malignant tumors was 267.57 / 100 000, the World standardized incidence rate of 209.98 / 100 000. Cancer Incidence in the top five ranks followed by lung, liver, stomach, colon and esophageal cancer, the incidence was 43.06 / 100 000, 28.65 / 100 000, 26.82 / 100 000, 18.63 / 100 000 and 9.57 / 100 000, respectively. The difference of the survival rates between the top five cancers was remarkable. Survival rates of cancers among males from the lowest to the highest were liver, lung, esophagus, stomach and intestines. Survival rates of cancers among females from the lowest to the highest were of liver, lung, esophagus, stomach, intestines, cervical and breast. The male or female main cancer's relative survival rate droped along with the age rising. Conclusion The survival status was better in the patients with intestine cancers and female patients with breast cancer, but worse in patients with liver, ung and esophageal cancer.
