Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of treating cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type (CSA) mainly by needling EX-B2 point & Tui na,and to investigate the advantage of needling EX-B2 point to treat CSA.Methods 60 patients with CSA were divided into a trial group (30cases) and a control group (30cases) by the sequence of visit.Patients in the trial group were treated by needling EX-B2 point combined with electro-acupuncture and Tui na,other patients in the control group were treated by Tui na,with 2 weeks as a therapeutic course.Then,the change of therapeutic effect,symptoms index,mono-symptomatic therapeutic effect and average blood flow velocities of vertebral artery and basilar artery were observed in both groups before and afer the treatment.Results The therapeutic effect constitution & cure rate showed significant differences between the two groups (P＜0.05),but there was no difference in total efficacy.Significant differences were found in both groups in symptoms index before and after treatment,and after the treatment the symptoms index was lower.There was significant difference between the two groups in symptoms index difference (P＜0.05),and the trial group was better.The mono-symptomatic therapeutic effect of vertigo,nausea and vomiting showed significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05),and the trial group was better.No marked differences were observed in avenge blood flow velocities of vertebral artery and basilar artery between groups and in each group.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of CSA mainly treated by needling EX-B2 point & Tui na was much better than just treated by Tui na,and this method showed obvious advantage in relieving vertigo.

Objective To observe the clinical value of the cervical conization operation margin in predicting residual focal in patients with adenocarcinoma in situ (ACIS).Methods 60 ACIS patients were reviewed,and postoperative specimens were analyzed.Negative resection margin was defined as:no residual tumor epithelial cell was seen in operation margin around,and normal cervical epithelial cells can be visible.Relations between the margin status and incidence of residual were analyzed.Results The margin positive rate in LEEP was 56.8%,which was significantly higher than that in CKC(26.1 %,χ2 =5.390,P =0.02).The corrected odds was 4.31 (OD =4.31 , 95%CI 1 .1 3 -1 6.43,P =0.03).None had no residual tumor in 26 cases with margin negative,and 1 7 cases (65.4%)were detected with residual tumor in 26 positive margins (χ2 =25.257,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The ACIS patients with negative margins have a lower risk for residual focal.The standard sampling and judging methods in evaluating margin criteria can enhance the predictive value of margins.

Objective To investigate the influence of Nimesulide(NIM),a selective Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, on the expression of Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) protein in human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca-8113 cell lines. Methods Tca-8113 cell were cultured in vitro, and exposed to a range of concentrations of nimesulide (NIM) (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 μmol/L) for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and the PGE2 level in the cells cultured supernate was quantitated by the radioimmunoassay, and the expression of Ang-1 and Ang-2 protein in human tongue squamous cell line Tca-8113 were measured by the SABC immunocytochemistry staining simultaneously. Results The PGE2 level in the cultured supematant and expression of Ang-2 in Tca-8113 cells decreased by NIM in a concentration and time dependent manner, but not Ang-1. Conclusion NIM can decrease PGE2 level and Ang-2 expression, which may be involved in the inhibition of cancer angiogenesis of COX-2 dependence mechanisms.

Objective To study the correlation of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C expression with invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Method The expression of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C was detected by immunohistochemical technique in 21 cases hyperplasia of mammary glands, 10 cases of in-tubule carcinoma and 68 cases invasive carcinoma. Results The positive rate of EMMPRIN expression in hyperplasia of mammary glands, in-tubule carcinoma and invasive carcinoma were 4. 76% (1/21), 40. 00% (4/10)73.53% (50/68), respectively;Significant difference was found among three groups ( P < 0.01 ). The positive rate of VEGF-C expression in hyperplasia, in-tubule carcinoma and invasive carcinoma were14. 29% (3/21) ,60. 00 (6/10) ,77.94% (53/68), respectively. The positive rates of VEGF-C expression in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma were remarkably higher than that of hyperplasia of mammary glands ( P <0. 01 ). The expression of EMMPRIN significantly correlated with the expression of VEGF-C in breast tubule carcinoma ( rs =0. 390, P <0. 01 ), Lymph nod metastasis and the number axillary Lymph nod metastasis were related to EMMPRIN and VEGF-C ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The over-expression of EMMPRIN and VEGF-C were important elements to promote the invasiveness and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Synergistic effect between EMMPRIN and VEGF-C may take place in lymph node metastasis of breast carcinoma.

Abstract: Bartter syndrome (BS) is a kind of inherited metabolic disease characterized by electrolyte and endocrine disorder, resulting from genetic gene mutation or deletion. Clinically, it manifests as vomiting, constipation, feeding difficulties, weight loss, growth retardation. The laboratory examination shows hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, aldosteronism, etc. As an autosomal recessive genetic disease, BS has an extremely low incidence rate, making diagnosis and treatment quite challenging. In recent years, with the progress of gene detection and other technologies, China has made great progress in the study of BS, more and more BS has been diagnosed accurately. According to known gene mutation types, it can be divided into type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, type 5 and Gitelman syndrome, a total of 6 types, with type 4 further divided into type 4a and type 4b. At present, the most common type of children with BS in clinical practice is type 3, which is the classic type of BS. This paper reports a case of Bartter syndrome type 4b (BS4b). After two rounds of three-generation family gene sequencing, it was discovered that the infant had a combined mutation of both the CLCNKA and CLCNKB alleles, in addition to Alport syndrome, and both parents were carriers of this type of gene defect. The child was finally diagnosed as BS4b and Alport syndrome. This report, combined with the patient's clinical features, diagnosis and treatment process, as well as related literature analysis, aims to provide experience for understanding and diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

OBJECTIVETo study the impacts of electroacupuncture (EA) on memory impairment after cerebral infarction through the observation of hydrogen proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of brain tissue metabolites in the patients of cerebral infarction.

METHODSSixty cases of memory impairment after cerebral infarction were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. The conventional rehabilitation training and medication were applied to all the patients. In the observation group, beside the basic treatment, EA was applied to bilateral Ezhongxian (MS 1), Dingzhongxian (MS 5), Dingniehouxiexian (MS 7), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), Zusanli (ST 36), Taixi (KI 3), Xuanzhong (GB 39) and Fengchi (GB 20). The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, for 8 weeks. The clinical memory scale was used for the score evaluation before and after treatment in all the patients. The magnetic resonance image (MRI) and 1H-MRS scanning were applied to the head. The ratio of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and creatine (Cr) and the ratio of choline (Cho) and Cr were determined in the foci of cerebral infarction.

RESULTSEight weeks later, the scores of clinical memory scale were all increased after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the two group (all P<0. 01). The ratio of NAA and Cr was increased as compared with that before treatment (P<0. 05); the ratio of Cho and Cr was reduced as compared with that before treatment (P<0. 05). The changes in the observation group were more obvious than those in the control group (all P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONOn the basis of the conventional medication and rehabilitation training, EA improves the metabolism of brain tissue and memory function of the patients. The efficacy of this therapy is better than that of medication combined with rehabilitation training.

Objective To study the independent predictors of 3-day mortality of patients with systemic in-flammatory response syndrome(SIRS) in emergency department. Method From Dec 2006 to Sep 2007, 640 pa-tients with SIRS admitted to emergency department were enrolled. Those died within one hour were excluded. Ev-ery patient was examined on plasma B-type natriuretie peptide (BNP) level and serum cardiac Troponin Ⅰ (cTNI) level. Early warning score (EWS) was calculated. Rank test was used to compare the difference of BNP,cTNI and EWS between survivors and non-survivors. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent pre-dictors for death and receiver operator characteristic curve was used to determine the cutoff values. Results The mean levels of age, BNP, cTNI and EWS of patients died in 3 days were 73.5(65～80),468.5 pg/mL(161.5～1862.5 pg/mL),0.37 ng/mL(0.07～2.61 ng/mL) and 6(5～9), respectively. In survivors, the mean levels of age, BNP, cTNI and EWS were 71(60～77), 239 pg/mL(56.3～783.8 pg/mL), 0.07 ng/mL(0.03～0.26 ng/mL)and 4(3～6), respectively. There were significant difference in age, BNP, cTNI and EWS between two groups (P < 0.05). Age ≥ 76, BNP ≥ 115 pg/mL, cTNI ≥ 0.135 ng/mL and EWS ≥ 6 were independent predic-tors of death. Conclusions Levels of BNP,cTNI and EWS were predictors of death in SIRS patients during emer-gency department stay.
