Objective To comparatively investigate the adhesive capabilities of sodium alginate and guar gum as bone adhesives.Methods The adhesive capabilities were analysed and discussed by measuring their kinetic viscosities,solidification time and the reaction with calcium ions.Results Guar gum had higher kinetic viscosity and could fit to the supply of both ion calcium and non-ion calcium for the bone cure,but its capability of solidification need to be improved.Sodium alginate had higher solubility and its solidification could be finished in short time,but it had lower viscosity and fit only to the non-ion calcium supply.Conclusion Sodium alginate and guar gum are considered to be the potential natural materials of the bone adhesives.

Objective To know the rural doctors' knowledge,belief and practice on iodine deficiency disorders(IDD),as well as their capability on health education communication in Ye County,Henan Province.Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 50 rural doctors in Ye County,Henan Province.Topics covered include:sales of salt purchases,daily supervision and monitoring activities of salt,the health effects of salt,the situation of rural doctors trained,the situation of rural doctors participated in health education and related recommendations.Results ①Twenty-nine of the rural doctors knew exactly the advantage of salt iodization.②Thirty-nine of the rural doctors had taken part in the half quantitative detection of salt once or twice a year and 15 of them knew the supervision activities of salt industry department.③Forty-nine of the rural doctors believed salt iodization was beneficial to health and 48 of them were willing to participate in health education on IDD.④The major ways of their acquiring health knowledge were promotional materials [54.0％ (27/50)],TV [50.0％ (25/50)],and lecture/training [24.0％ (12/50)].⑤Thirty-seven of the rural doctors had taken part in health education on IDD.They were used to use booklets [68.0％ (34/50)],promotional slogan [36.0％ (18/50)],broadcast [24.0％ (12/50)],and doctor consultation [24.0％ (12/50)].⑥Twenty-eight of the rural doctors thought the current health education on IDD was better.They hoped to reduce the price of salt,strengthen supervision,receive more training and health education on IDD.Conclusions The rural doctors remain relatively lack of knowledge on IDD.Rural doctors have the initiative and responsibility to conduct health education on IDD,but their pattern is still a one-way propagation.

Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with facilitated technique on lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients.Methods 120 stroke patients with lower limb palsy were divided into the group Ⅰ (treated with acupuncture combined with facilitated technique), group Ⅱ (treated with acupuncture), third group Ⅲ (treated with facilitated technique) and the group Ⅳ (treated with medicine). The lower limb function and ADL of four groups were evaluated with Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 10 weeks after treatment.Results The scores of FAC, FMA and MBI of all the groups improved significantly, but it was more significantly in the first group than the in other groups (P<0.01), in group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ than in group Ⅳ (P<0.01). The difference between the group Ⅱ and Ⅲ was insignificantly(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with facilitated technique can improve the lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients more effectively.

Objective To investigate the expression of IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA in allograft and peripheral blood of mice receiving skin transplantation under different immune states. Methods Mice skin allograft models were established and divided into 3 groups: synergeneic transplant group (BALB/c→BALB/c), allogeneic transplant group (C57BL/6→BALB/c), donor spleen cells infusion group (C57BL/6→BALB/c). Peripheral blood plasma concentration of IL-23 was measured by ELISA. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of IL-23 mRNA in the skin allograft. Results There was no significant difference in the IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA expression among all three groups one day after skin transplantation (P＞0. 05). On the day 3, 5, and 7 after skin transplantation, there was significant difference in the IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA expression levels between synergeneic transplant group, donor spleen cells infusion group and allogeneic transplant group (P ＜ 0. 01 ), but there was no significant difference between synergeneic transplant group and donor spleen cells infusion group (P＞0. 05). Conclusion The high expression levels of IL-23 and IL-23 mRNA were detected when early acute rejection took place in recipient mice. IL-23 could serve as a predictable and prognostic marker for the acute rejection. Infusion of donor spleen cells can significantly prolong the allograft survival.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAPA) after liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 4 patients who had HAPA after liver transplantation at the No.309 Hospital of PLA from April 2002 to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 4 patients had abdominal massive hemorrhage,and 2 of them were complicated by bile leakage and bile duct bleeding.Peritoneal effusion was observed in the 4 patients,and 3 of them were complicated by peritoneal infection.All the patients were diagnosed and treated by angiography and exploratory laparotomy.Results The mean time of hemorrhage of ruptured HAPA was 24.6 days (range,14-35 days).One of the patients was diagnosed by exploratory laparotomy,and the other 3 patients were diagnosed by angiography.Hemostasis of HAPA was successed in 1 patient by hepatic artery ligation,2 patients by interventional embolization + endovascular covered coronary stent grafts implantation guided by digital subtraction angiography (DSA),1 patient by interventional embolization.1 patients died of hepatic failure and 1 died of multiple organ disfunction syndrome.Conclusions Early diagnosis of HAPA after liver transplantation is difficult and the mortality is high.Interventional embolization + endovascular covered coronary stent grafts implantation guided by DSA is the first choice for the diagnosis and treatment of HAPA.

Objective:To explore influence of thrombus aspiration combined bivalirudin during emergency PCI on my- ocardial tissue perfusion and clinical prognosis in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods:A total of 102 patients with acute STEMI,who were confirmed with thrombus burden by CAG in our hos- pital from Jan 2012 to Jun 2014,were selected.According to random number table,they were randomly divided into thrombus aspiration + bivalirudin group (n=52,thrombus aspiration group)and heparin group (n=50,routine PCI group).TIMI blood flow grade 3 rate,TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG)after PCI,ST segment re- gression rate 2h after PCI,peak value and peak time of cTnI after PCI,LVEF,LVEDd,incidence rates of bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)on one week and one month after PCI were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with routine PCI group,there were significant rise in postoperative TMPG grade 3 rate (56.00% vs.88.46%),TIMI grade 3 rate (58.00% vs.88.46%)and ST segment regression rate (52.00% vs. 76.92%)in thrombus aspiration group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with routine PCI group one month after PCI,there was significant rise in LVEF [(53.76±5.24)% vs.(57.95±5.51)%],and significant reductions in LVEDd [(53.70±3.39)mm vs.(50.63±1.24)mm],peak value [(16.00±4.28)μg/L vs.(13.81±4.00)μg/L]and peak time [(14.00±2.80)h vs.(13.00±2.23)h]of cTnI in thrombus aspiration group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Incidence rate of mild bleeding in thrombus aspiration group was significantly lower than that of routine PCI group (1.9% vs.16.0%),P<0.05,but there was no significant difference in incidence rate of MACE between two groups,P>0.05. Conclusion:Thrombus aspiration combined bivalirudin during emergency PCI is safe and fea- sible for acute STEMI patients,it can effectively reduce incidence rate of bleeding,remove coronary thrombus,im- prove myocardial tissue perfusion and doesn't increase incidence rate of MACE.

Objective To study the different types of medication guidance for community doctors in the context of essential medicine system,and analyze its influencing factors.Methods SPSS 1 9.0 was called into play for statistical analysis of data gathered,and the medication guidance behavior of the doctors were graded on the two dimensions of personal willingness and practical action.With important quadrant method,the medication guidance behavior of such doctors was classified,while the multiple linear regression was used to study the influencing factors.Results Most of the community doctors of the fourteen counties fall into the area of “high willingness and less action”,with only a few falling into the area of the “high willingness and more action”. Major influencing factors of their willingness on medication guide were found to include impacts on job autonomy,attention to essential medicine system, and the forms to improve income.Major factors of the doctors'actions on medication guide include awareness of essential medicines,awareness of essential medicines catalog,and training outcomes. Conclusion The community doctors have high personal willingness for medication guidance related to essential medicines,but only a number of them carried it in their work.Therefore,it is necessary to take actions to strengthen awareness of the doctors for medication guidance and encourage them to carry it out.

Objective To assess the therapeutic effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on poststroke dysphagia.Methods A total of 90 patients with poststroke dysphagia were enrolled.They were randomly divided into either a NMES + rTMS group or a NMES + sham rTMS group (n =45 in each group).The Kuhota water drinking test and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) were used to assess the swallowing function.Results The scores of Kuhota water drinking test (F=82.001,P＜0.001) and the SSA (F =33.743,P ＜0.001) before treatment,treatment of one course,treatment of two courses,and at 3 months after treatment in the NMES + rTMS group had significant differences.Compared with before treatment,they were improved significantly for treatment of one course (P ＜0.01 and P ＜0.05,respectively),two courses (all P＜0.01),and at 3 months (all P＜0.01) after treatment.The scores of Kuhota water drinking test (F =53.647,P＜0.001) and the SSA (F=19.178,P＜0.001) in the NMES + sham rTMS group also had significant difference.Compared with before treatment,they had significant improvement for treatment of one course (all P ＜0.05),two courses (P ＜0.05 and P ＜0.01,respectively) and at 3 months (all P＜0.01)after treatment.The scores of Kuhota water drinking test for treatment of one course,two courses,and at 3 months after treatment (treatment of one course:t=2.217,P=0.02;treatment of two courses:t =2.406,P =0.019;at 3 months after treatment:t =2.128,P =0.037) and the SSA (treatment of one course:t =2.196,P =0.030,treatment of two courses:t =2.425,P =0.016;at 3 months after treatment:t =2.512,P=0.013) in the NMES + rTMS group were significantly better than those in the NMES + sham rTMS group.Conclusions High-frequency rTMS combined with NMES may significantly improve the swallowing function in patients with stroke.Its efficacy is superior to NMES.
