OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effects of nimesulide, a COX- 2 selective inhibitor on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. METHODS: The gastric ulcer model was established in rats by intragastric administration them with indometacin, 5 min later, which were assigned to receive nimesulide at different dosages ( 200, 100, and 50mg? kg- 1) , 6h later, all the rats were sacrificed. The primary outcome measures were the area of ulcer, levels of SOD, MDA, and GSH in sera and gastric mucosa. RESULTS: As compared with model group, in nimesulide ( at different dosage) groups, the area of ulcer was markedly decreased, level of MDA was decreased while activities of SOD and GSH were increased ( P

Objective To compare the effect of laparoscope and open operation in the treatment of acute perforation of peptic ulcer.Methods Clinical data of 56 peptic ulcer patients were retrospectively analyzed.30 patients (group A) received laparoscopic treatment,26 cases(group B) received traditional open operation treatment.Operation time,hospitalization time,postoperative exhaust time,ambulation time,frequency of using analgesics after operation,incidence rate of complications and the cost of hospitalization were compared between the two groups.Results In A group,the hospitalization time was (4.5 ± 1.4) d,postoperative exhaust time was (23.9 ± 7.2) h,time to ambulation was (14.1 ± 5.6)h,frequency of postoperative analgesic use was 16.7％,the incidence rate of complications was 0,which were better than those in the control group(11.6 ± 7.5) d,(37.6 ± 17.9) h,(43.4 ± 11.8) h,92.3％,19.2％ (t =4.23,4.54,6.32,x2 =3.78,4.45,all P ＜ 0.05).Operation time,white blood cell count and cost of hospitalization between two groups showed no significant differences(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscope in treatment of acute perforation of peptic ulcer has advantages of less trauma,less complications,quicker recovery,shorter hospitalization time and good clinical effect.This operation mode is relatively ideal,and is worth the clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of western combined with traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of acute lumbar disc herniation.Methods 200 patients with lumbar disc herniation were randomly divided into western combined with traditional Chinese therapy group(group A) and western medicine group(group B) ,each group 100 cases.B group was conducted with the general anti - inflammatory, dehydration, nerve pain and nutritional therapy,and A group was given the traditional Chinese medicine treatment on the base of B group.After 3 weeks treatment, the curative effect, VAS score and hospital stay were observed.Results A total effective rate 90.0% in group A was higher than B group 73.0% ( x2 = 3.987 ,P < 0.05); The scores of VAS after treatment 4 weeks[(1.1 ±1.23、0.9 ±0.6)/point]were lower than before treatment[(8.6 ± 1.43,8.8 ± 1.382)/point]in two groups(t =2.301,2.335,all P<0.05) ;The scores of VAS after treatment 3d and 1 week in group A[(5.5 ±0.92) point,(2.7±1.14) point] were lower than group B[(8.2 ±0.59) point,(5.3 ±0.91) point] (t =2.405,2.435,all P<0.05);The hospital days(20.1 ±3.5)d in group A was significantly lower than group B(27.6 ±4.3)d( t = 2.314,P <0.05).Conclusion Western combined with traditional Chinese medicine had better clinical efficacy in teatrent of patients with acute lumbar disc hemiation.

BACKGROUND: Mental health problem is directly correlated with the health and happiness of the elders, and to improve their health level has become a social problem. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mental health and social support status of the elders in Lishui city. DESIGN: A sample investigation. SETTING: Lishui Center for Disease Prevention and Control.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 137 retirees or honored retirees above 55 years in a community in Liandu district and 136 people above 55 years in a village in Bihu township of Liandu district were taken as the urban and a rural samples respectively in September and October 2003. METHODS: The symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) and social support rating scale (SSRS) were used. The questionnaires were dispatched, measured and collected by the local physicans in rural area and community cadres in urban area in household anonymously on the spot. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Scores of SCL-90 and SSRS in both groups; ② Correlations between social support factors and mental health factors in the elders between urban and rural communities; ③ Comparison of the most common 10 symptoms in SCL-90 between urban and rural elders; ④ Comparison of SCL-90 scores among different age groups and between males and females.RESULTS: Totally 380 questionnaires were sent out, 273 effective ones were collected back, and the collected rate was 71.84%. ① The differences of factor scores in SCL-90 were all significant or markedly significant (P ＜ 0.05-0.01) except that of depression, and all the factor scores in both urban group and rural group were obviously lower than those of national norm (P ＜ 0.01). The differences of subjective support and utilization of support in social support status between the two groups were of marked significance (P ＜ 0.01), whereas the differences of objective support and total scores were not so obvious (P ＞ 0.05). ② The correlation ananlysis between social support and mental health factors in the rural group showed that the utilization of support had no significant correlation with factors of anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism, whereas the other three dimensions and other 10 factors showed significant or very significant correlation. The correlation ananlysis between social support and mental health factors in the urban group showed that there was no significant correlation of objective support with the symptoms of obsession-compulsion and psychoticism, as well as between the utilization of support and the symptom of obsession-compulsion,whereas other dimensions of support showed significant or very significant correlation with other factors. ③ The most common positive symptom with the highest incidence rate was high forgetfulness (79.4%) in the rural group and muscular ache (69.3%) in the rural group, respectively. ④ The scores of interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism were lower in the ≥70 years old group than in the ＜ 70 years old group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01); there were no significnat gender differences (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The mental health of the elders in Lishui city is slightly better than that of national norm, and it is better in rural area than in urban area. But the existed mental problems should not be ignored. The mental health status is greatly and directly related with the factor of social support, so the major and important measure to improve the mental health of the elders is to better the environment of social support and take effective psychological interference.
