Objective To explore the effects of Seretide(50/250 μg)in the treatment of patients with stable moderate COPD.Methods Sixty-four patients in the stable period of moderate COPD were randomized into 2 groups,the test group and control group.The control group received routine treatment.The test group received the Seretide(50/250 μg)inhalation in addition to the routine treatment.During the 2-year observation,the pulmonary functions before and 12 and 24 months after treatment were recorded.The clinical symptoms,physical signs,the frequency of acute exacerbation of COPD and hospitaliztion duration were also graded.Results The difference of the parameters before and after the treatment was significant in the treatment group(P ＜0.01)but not in control group(P ＞0.05).The scores of symptoms and signs([2.1 ±0.4]vs.[4.4 ± 0.3],t =2.365),the frequency of acute exacerbation of COPD(29％ vs.47％,x2 =3.547)and hospitalization period ([5.0 ± 1.2]d vs.[10.0 ± 1.6]d,t =2.149)in the treatment group were significantly improved compared with control group after 24 months' treatment(all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Seretide(50/250 μg)is able to improve the lung function of the patients with stable moderate COPD and reduce the frequency of acute exacerbation,showing certain value in clinical practice.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and effects of a compound bone substitute materials Bio-oss artificial bone grafts with recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2(rhBMP-2) filling the alveolar bone defects around heterogenous replanted teeth. Methods:3 dogs′ bilateral mandible 3rd premolars(6 sites) were extracted. The defect sites without buccal and lingual alveolar bone were prepared for the heterogenous implanted teeth and the compound of Bio-oss and rhBMP-2 filled the alveolar bone defects around. The bone regeneration was observed by naked eye, radiograph, histology and histomorphometric analysis after 2, 3 months. Results:The new alveolar bone showed osteogenesis and calcification after 2 months, and intergrated with implanted teeth root under the light microscope and X ray. The new bone trabecular thickness(Tb.Th) augmented continuously. Differences of the bone area(B.Ar) and bone perimeter(B.Pm) were statistically significant after 2nd and 3rd month(P

This paper introduces and analyzes the changes of scientific understanding in the linkage of global envi-ronment and health from historical and environment perspective, emphasizing on the fact that:the environmental issue im-pacts on human health are attracting an increased attention and emphasis from the international community;the existing re-search has fully proved a clear causal relationship between environmental issues which constitute one of the major factors that lead to a variety of human diseases and human health risks;the environmental issues effects on health quantified at the global level are the highlights and difficulties in the related research, differences in the current research methods and con-clusions exist internationally, but quantitative research is popular; the integration perspective of the existing scientific knowledge and global policy is a huge challenge placed in front of the global environment and health governance.

Objective To observe the effective outcome of application of Ruyi golden powder and magnesium sulfate in the treatment of phlebitis caused by amiodarrone.Methods 60 patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group (30 cases in each group).The external application of Ruyi golden powder which was prepared with 75％ alcohol into a paste was used in the observation group and 50％ magnesium sulphate was used in the control group.Results The total effective rate of two groups of patients was 93.3％ in the observation group and 66.7％ in the control group,the significant difference was found by the comparison of the two groups.Conclusions The external application of Ruyi golden powder with alcohol in the treatment of phlebitis caused by amiodarrone is better than magnesium sulfate.

Objective To study the effect of whole-process nursing intervention on comfort of patients undergoing radial artery puncture. Methods 100 patients with radial artery puncture from July, 2007 to June, 2008 were divided into the control group and the experimental group with 50 cases in each group accord-ing to time sequence. Routine whole nursing mode was used in the control group, the whole-process nursing intervention mode based upon routine nursing mode under the instruction of evidence-based method was used in the experimental group. Pain, psychological tensity, body numbness, success rate of radial artery puncture, patients' satisfaction degree were compared between the two groups. Results Every indexes of the experi-mental group were better than those of the control group. Conclusions The whole-process nursing interven-tion mode can promote the comfort degree of patients undergoing radial artery puncture.

Objective To investigate the longitudinal systolic ventricular function of children with single ventricle, and to appraise the feasibility and clinical value of velocity vector imaging (VVI) on assessing it. Methods The study group consisted of 30 patients with functional single ventricle. The control group consisted of 30 age- and gender-matched normal children. Using Sequoia C512 echocardiography machine,the peak velocity(V),peak displacement(D) ,strain(S) ,and strain rate(SR) were measured. Results Basel and median velocities,as well as basel and median displacements of rudimentary chamber side(RCS), were lower than those of septum[Basel velocity (1. 93 ± 0. 71)cm/s vs (3. 53 ± 1. 07)cm/s;Median velocity (1.19±0. 57)cm/s vs (2. 03 ± 0. 90) cm/s; Basel displacement (2. 53 ± 1.65) mm vs (6.21 ± 2. 12)mm;Median displacement(1. 26 ± 1. 06)mm vs (3. 21 ± 1.37)mm]. The values of strain of all the six segments of single ventricle were significantly lower than Corresponding segments of the control group [ basel nonrudimentary chamber side(NRCS) ( - 16. 17 ± 4. 37) % vs ( - 19. 66 ± 3. 47) % ; Median NRCS ( - 15. 23 +4.36)% vs (-19.64± 4. 75)%; Apical NRCS (-13.84 ± 5.79)% vs ( - 16. 7 ± 4. 15)%; Basel RCS(-10. 54±5.35)% vs (-19.49±3. 74)%;Median RCS ( - 10. 16 ± 5. 26)% vs ( -20. 83 ± 3. 82)% ;Apical RCS ( - 10. 97 ± 5. 22) % vs C - 18. 11 ± 4.43) %]. Aside from basel strain rates of NRCS, strain rates of all the other five segments of single ventricle were significantly lower than Corresponding segments of the control group [Median NRCS ( - 1. 21 ± 0. 42)s-1 vs (- 1.49 ± 0. 24)s-1 ;Apical NRCS ( - 1.10 ±0.41)s-1 vs (-1.47 ± 0.24)s-1;Basel RCS ( - 1.07 ± 0. 35) s-1 vs (- 1. 49 ± 0. 22) s-1; Median RCS (-0.97± 0.34)s-1 vs ( -1.48 ± 0. 20)s-1 (Apical RCS ( - 0. 93 ± 0. 39)s-1 vs ( - 1. 48 ± 0. 22)s-1]. Conclusions Longitudinal systolic ventricular function is impaired in children with functionally single ventricle. VVI can be used to asses ventricular systolic performance in children with functionally single ventricular.

Objective To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on the cerebral water content and thrombin in the rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and explore its mechnism for treating ICH. Methods SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group, sham operation group, model group and treatment group, and time points of 6, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 d were observed. ICH rat model was induced by collagenase and heparin in saline solution injected into caudate nucleus. The treatment group was injected PNS intraperitoneally once a day, and the cerebral water content was assessed by dry-wet weight method. Both content of fibrinogen (FIB) and thrombin clotting time (TT) in 48 h were measured. Results The cerebral water content of model group increased at every time point compared with blank group and sham operation group (P<0.05). The cerebral water content of treatment group was significantly decreased at every time point except for 6 h compared with model group (P<0.05). FIB of treatment group decreased compared with model group (P<0.05), while TT of treatment group was not significantly decreased (P>0.05). Conclusion PNS may play a role in treating ICH by decreasing cerebral water content, FIB and TT of ICH rats.
