Objective To explore the charcter and thesapeutic principlc of chronic lymphocytic thyoiditis.Methods 37 patients with chronical lymphocytic thyoiditis undergoing thyroidectomy were retrospectively analyzed.Results Compared with routine frozen section(FS) in operation FNA(fine needle aspiration) and the detecting of autoantibody had coincidence of 38%.Conclusion Exept preferred choosing of FNA and the detecting of autoantibody in early time,proper operation and the choose of indication is also important.

Objective To compare the effect of motor development massage and neural development approach on the children with cerebral palsy. Methods The children with cerebral palsy were selected with layered matching as they accepted motor development massage or neural development approach, and reviewed with their score of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). Results There were 24 children in each group. The GMFM-66 score increased after treatment in both groups, but there was no statistical difference between these groups. Conclusion The gross motor function can be improved in the children with cerebral palsy with motor-development massage and neural development approach similarly.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of extracts from asparagus filicinus rhizome on prolifieration of human osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells and its molecular mechanism .Methods MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxic activity and growth inhibition of three different extracts from asparagus filicinus rhizome against Saos-2 cells ;plate colony formation assay was per-formed to detect active fraction of asparagus filicinus rhizome on the anchorage dependent growth of Saos-2 cells ;the cell cycle alter-ation was determined by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry analysis ;the alteration of protein expression level of COX-2 was determined by using Western blotting .Results Ethyl acetate fraction of asparagus filicinus rhizome (AF-A) exerted the potent cytotoxicity on Saos-2 cells(IC50 =26 .7 μg/mL);AF-A induced the inhibitory effect on the anchorage dependent growth of Saos-2 cells in a dose dependent manner(P<0 .05);Saos-2 cells treated by AF-A at the concentration of 30 .0 and 100 .0 μg/mL for 48 h induced the increase of percentages of S phage from (31 .8 ± 4 .8)% in the control group to (43 .7 ± 2 .5)% and(51 .9 ± 1 .9)% ,the difference showing statistical significance (P< 0 .05) .Western blotting showed that AF-A at different concentrations decreased COX-2 protein expression .Conclusion AF-A posseses the inhibitory effect on the proliferation and growth of human osteosarcoma cells in vitro ,and its mechanism might be associated with the induction of S phage arrest and the inhibition of COX-2 protein ex-pression level .
