OBJECTIVE To study anatomical features of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery(ICA)via the extended transsphenoid approach under endoscope.METHODS Extended transsphenoid approach was performed on 11 adult cadaver heads.The appearance features of the cavernous segment of the ICA and its vessel branches were observed under endoscope.RESULTS The cavernous segment of the ICA can be divided into 5 segments and has 3 vessel branches.The optico-carotid recess is the landmark to define the ICA and optic nerve during operation.The optico-carotid recess is located between internal carotid and optic prominences,all of them are located on the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus.CONCLUSION The cavernous segment of the ICA is the most important anatomic structure via the extended transsphenoid approach.The cavernous segment of the ICA,branch vessels,and important nerve tissue structures can be clearly visualized under endoscope via the extended transsphenoid approach.An extended transsphenoid approach with the help of an endoscope is an optimal surgical approach for the lesions that invade the internal wall of cavernous sinus.

Sulfur fumigation was a traditional maintenance method for traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). However , as people have paid more and more attentions on the sulfur dioxide residue in the sulfur fumigated TCMs , China has gradually decreased and banned the sulfur fumigation for TCMs . This study adopted organic elemental analysis for the determination of sulfur contents in multiple TCMs . Elemental analysis can give accu-rate results with little sample amount in a short time . Data analysis indicated that the sulfur content of 0.5% can be set as a criterion for the identification of sulfur fumigated TCMs. Sulfur content of ten unknown TCMs were determined by elemental analysis and identified whether the TCMs have been fumigated by sulfur. The devel-oped elemental analysis method can be used as a screening method for rapid identification of TCMs' quality.

Purpose:To investigate the relationship between HELICOBACTER PYLORI (Hp) and gastric carcinoma, as well as the possible carcinogenic mechanism by Hp. Methods: DNEL technique and immunohistochemical staining were used in the research to study the state of apoptosis, proliferation and p53 gene expression. Total 100 gastric mucosal biopsy specimens, including normal mucosa, Hp negative and Hp positive gastric precancerous lesions as well as gastric carcinomas were studied. Results:There were several apoptotic cells in the superficial epithelium and a few proliferative cells within neck of gastric glands, and no p53 protein expression in normal mucosa. In gastric carcinoma, apoptotic cells accounted for 1.62%, while proliferative cells 4.99%, and P53 protein significantly increased. in metaplasia, the apoptotic index (AI), proliferative index (PI) and positivity of p53 expression in Hp positive group were higher than those in normal mucosa ( P

Objective To evaluate the MRI features of osteosarcoma.Methods 38 cases of osteosarcoma proved pathologically were retrospectively analyzed.All of them were examined by plain MRI scan,25 cases were examined by enhanced scan.Results The diagnostic accuracy of osteosarcoma of MRI was 93.9%.There were 30 cases of the extension into the medullary cavity,18 cases of soft tissue mass,10 cases of the destruction in epiphysis and 4 cases of the invasion in articular cartilage,especially T2 weighted STIR image and enhanced MRI scans were advantageous in showing the images mentioned above and in judging of the change after treated.Conclusion MRI is very important in diagnosis and clinical therapy of osteosarcoma.

Objective To investigate the effect of fluoride on the expression of a subunit of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase- Ⅱ (α-CaMK Ⅱ ) at both mRNA and protein levels in human neuroblastoma cells were cultured in DMEM with final concentrations of NaF 0(control) ,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, respectively, for 48 hours. Then quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression level of α-CaMK Ⅱ P1 (postnatal day 1) pups together with their mothers were randomly divided into three groups. Lactating rats were given drinking water containing NaF at concentrations 0(control) ,2,3 mmol/L. And pups were exposed to NaF through milk. In each group, 8 pups were sacrificed on day 14 after birth. In post-weaning period, another 8 pups in each group were given drinking water with the same dose of fluoride as their mother's 21 day after birth. After then, these pups were killed on day 28, and hippocampus was dissected immediately and Western blot was conducted mRNA and protein levels were decreased. When NaF concentrations were 0,0.05,0.50,2.00,5.00 mmol/L, the mRNA relative ratios of α-CaMKⅡ in SY5Y cells were 1.00 ± 0.00,0.77 ± 0.18,0.40 ± 0.11,0.22 ± 0.06 and 0.15 ± 0.03, and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ were 100.00 ± 0.00,76.17 ± 2.08,59.16 ± 2.12,48.52 ± 2.71 and 43.51 ± 2.57, any mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMK Ⅱ protein levels on day 14 and 28(75.02 ± 2.88,73.83 ± 3.88 and 81.00 ± 2.54,45.70 ± 2.34) were significantly lower than that of control groups(100.00 ± 0.00,100.00 ± 0.00, all P < 0.01). In 3 mmol/L group, hippocampus α-CaMKⅡ protein level on day 28 was lower than that of 2 mmol/L group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Fluoride can decrease mRNA and protein levels of α-CaMK Ⅱ in nerve cells and hippocampus, which may be one of the mechanisms of learning and memory impairment by fluorosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination eye drops on low myopia of children (age ranging from 6 to 14). Methods Eighty children with 160 eyes of low myopia in the outpatient department of ophthalmology of our hospital were chose from July 2010 to April 2013, then the patients were equally divided into four groups:the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops,tropicamide,and tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination groups. The naked vision and myopia correction of each group were compared before and after treatment for two weeks, and the treatment effects were compared among four groups. Results (1) The results showed there were no significant changes before and after treatment in the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops and tropicamide groups ( >0.05); (2) On the contrast, the tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination have significantly improved naked vision and myopia correction after 2 weeks ( <0.05);(3) Prior to the treatment,there was no significant difference among four groups (<0.05);(4) After treatment,group under tropicamide and esculin- digitalisglycosides combined was statistical different from the other groups treated with other three eye drops ( <0.05);However, there was no statistical difference among groups in these three eyedrops. Conclusion Esculin-digitalisglycosides combined with tropicamide was the most effective treatment for low myopia of children.

Objective To evaluate food intolerance sensitivity among 2962 health check-up receivers from the First Hospital of China Medical University.Methods Serum samples of 2962 adults were collected from January 2008 to June 2010.Serum allergen-specific IgG antibodies of 14 kinds of food were detected by ELISA.The data were analyzed by using One-way analysis of variance.Results In this study,the rate of food intolerance was 0.4%(mushrooms) to 38.0%(eggs).Higher rates of food intolerance were found in egg,crab,shrimp,milk,and cod fish(Eggs 32.5%,crabs 26.0%,shrimps 19.8%,milk 13.8%,and cod fish 12.0% respectively).However,wheat,pork,and mushroom showed relatively lower rates of food intolerance(Wheat 0.8%,pork 0.4%,and mushrooms1.4% respectively).Positive reaction to food intolerance was even stronger in women(9.4% versus 8.2%).Conclusion It is discovered by study that in general population,the diversity of intolerance among different food is associated with 4 factors: gender; age; feature of food; individual diversity.It is recommended that the status of intolerance to food in the general population be investigated by health management.

The paper presented the competence theory,and its application in the current hospital recruitment in China.Based on existing studies,the authors proposed a competence-based hospital recruitment indicator system and measurement approach,consisting of 15 level-1 indicators and 16 level-2 indicators.They also named the merits of such a system compared to conventional ones as evidenced in practice.On such basis the paper proposed to further improve such a system and mechanism,as well as the quantitative research and empirical study of the competence indicator system.
