Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of urinary carcinoma in the patients with aristolochic acid nephropathy(AAN)in uremia stage who received maintenance hemodialysis or renal transplantation.Methods The data of 38 AAN patients who had received renal replacement therapy and treated in the authors' service from Mar.2000 to Dec.2006 were reviewed,and the incidence and clinical pathological features of urinary carcinoma in these 38 AAN patients were summarized,in order to look for correlation between the frequency of hemodialysis and the occurrence of carcinoma.Results 15 of the 38 AAN patients received hemodialysis,and the remaining 23 patients underwent renal transplantation.During the follow-up period,seven patients who received hemodialysis were reported to have developed urinary carcinoma,the incidence was 46.7%(7/15),which was significantly higher than the incidence in patients who had undergone renal transplantation(3/23,13.0%;P0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of urinary carcinoma was much lower in the AAN patients who had undergone successful renal transplantation than in those patients who received only maintenance hemodialysis.Renal transplantation may be of a better treatment for the AAN patients in uremia stage.There was no correlation between the frequency of hemodialysis and the incidence of carcinoma.

Objective To investigate clinical effect of breviscapine combined with nerve growth factor in treatment of ischemic optic neuropathy . Methods 80 patients with ischemic optic neuropathy from March 2014 to March 2016 in our hospital were selected and divided into the control group and observation group, 40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with nerve growth factor, hip injection 30ug, one times a day, while the observation group was treated with breviscapine combined with nerve growth factor, 80 mg breviscapine added to 500 mL glucose intravenous infusion, one times a day.Then the changes of visual acuity, visual field loss difference (LV), the average damage of vision (MD), the average vision light sensitivity ( MS ) , adverse reactions, curative effect were compared between two groups.Results After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the visual acuity of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), LV, MD was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), MS was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no difference in adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion Breviscapine combined with nerve growth factor in the treatment of ischemic optic neuropathy can improve nerve function of patients , improve the therapeutic effect.

Teaching diagnosis is also called analysis of the scene of teaching. By using multimedia teaching in the classroom,teaching monitoring system for remote video,the use of the basic method of Chinese medicine in the diagnosis of the disease"look,smell,ask and feel" to watch video playback,we let the students purposefully observe teachers’ teaching,conduct the "Self-or experts",feeling the pulse diagnosis,and find the inadequate teaching and make recommendations for improvement so as to ultimately enhance the quality of classroom teaching purposes.

To investigate the effects of substance P in globus pallidus on haloperidol-induced Parkinson's disease model rat.Methods In behavioral experiments,guide cannulae constructed from stainless steel were implanted into the globus pallidus.After five days recovery,0.5 μl drugs(normal saline,SMSP,SR140333B,SR140333B + SMSP)were bilaterally microinjected into the globus pallidus in awake rats with haloperidol administration intraperitoneally.The catalepsy was then observed within 60 min.In electrophysiological study,an in vivo extracellular recording was performed to observe the effects of substance P on the firing rate of pallidal neurons.Resuits Haloperidol induced catalepsy in rats with intrapallidal saline microinjection.The maximum average latency was(259.8±34.8)s at the time point of 30th min.The minimum average latency was(145.2±54.8)s at 50th min.Bilateral microinjection of SMSP into globus pallidus significantly attenuated haloperidol-induced catalepsy (The average latency was(10.4±3.4)s at lOth rain and(58.4±38.8)s at 60th min,P<0.01).This anticataleptic effect was completely counteracted by selective NK-1 receptors antagonist SR140333B(The average latency was(176.4±64.4)s at 10th min and(139.2±59.7)s at 60th rain,P<0.01).Furthermore,micropressure ejection of SMSP significantly increased the firing rate of pallidal neurons(Basal:(13.4±4.2)Hz,SMSP:(17.5±5.6)Hz).The average increase was(29.4±8.6)%(P<0.05,n=13).SR140333 B completely blocked SMSPinduced increase in firing rate(SR140333B:(10.3±2.5)Hz,SR140333 B + SMSP:(11.3±3.0)Hz,P>0.05,n=8).Conclusion Based on the action of substance P in globus pallidus of parkinsonian rats,it is we hypothesized that activation of substance P receptor in globus pallidus may play a role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of flumazenil and naloxone on scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory in rats.Methods Forty pathogen-free SD rats weighing 160-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):group I control(group C);group IIscopolamine(group S);group III flumazenil+scopolamine(group SF)and group IV naloxone+scopolamine(group SN).Scopolamine 0.8 mg/kg was administered IP once a day for 3 consecutive days in group II-IV.In group SF and SN flumazenil 0.5 mg/kg and naloxone 2 mg/kg were administered IP respectively once a day for 3 consecutive days in addition to scopolamine.Thirty minutes after last IP administration,cognitive function was assessed using Y-maze.The animals were killed after cognitive function assessment and bilateral hippocampi Were isolated for determination of mAChRM1 mRNA expression(by RT-PCR)and detection of ChAT positive neurons(by immuno-histochemistry).Results Cognitive dysfunction developed in group S as compared with control group and was ameliorated in group SF and SN.The number of ChAT positive neurong and mAChRM1 mRNA expression were significantly decreased in group S compared with control group and were significantly higher in group SF and SN than in group S.Conclusion Flumazenll and naloxone can ameliorate the scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory by improving cholinergic neuron function.

To investigate the dynamics of interleukin-21 (IL-21) cytokine in the Chinese HIV patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAAPT).Methods A total of 25 adults with chronic HIV infections,responding to combined highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) guideline criteria were enrolled for a 1-year follow-up.After signing an informed consent,20 mL blood was collected from each patient at the base line,6 month and 12 month,respectively.CD4 and CD8 cell count was quantified by flux cytometry,serum HIV RNA quantified by real time PCR and IL-21 concentrations by ELISA.Results IL-21 levels increased gradually during the follow-up but did not reach the healthy levels.IL-21 correlated positively with the CD4 cells but not with CD8 T cells.HIV RNA correlated negatively with CD4 cell count but did not show any relationship with the CD8 cells.Conclusion IL-21 has potential role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV,and might be an important factor in immune construction during HAART.

Objective To investigate the kidney function changes and the risk factors in elderly patients aged 80 years and over.Methods A total of 1054 hospitalized patients aged ≥80 years in our hospital were selected.Serum levels of creatinine,urea,uric acid and urinate were tested.Cockcroft-Gault equation was used to estimate glomerular filtrate rate (GFR).Results The renal function in 87.1 % of the patients was reduced.The percentage of patients with 30≤eGFR <60 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2 was 66.2%.The percentage of patients with 15≤eGFR <30 ml · min-1 · 1.73 · m-2had a gender difference (P<0.05).Serum creatinine level was not an ideal indicator for early renal dysfunction in the elderly,especially in emaciated elderly people.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender,hypertension,coronary heart disease and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors for the decline of renal function (OR=1.937,1.602,1.842,7.020,respectively,all P<0.05).Conclusions The rate of renal dysfunction is high in very old people.Many risk factors affect renal dysfunction.
