ObjectiveTo determine the diurnal variation,moon phase,and seasonal variation in the onset of stroke. MethodsThe time parameters,including the time,the moon phase and the season of the stroke occurrence for 905 in-patients from 1989-2001 were investigated.ResultsThere was a significant difference (D=0.155,P<0.01) for circadian rhythm in the onset of 321 cases with cerebral infarction,and the incidence frequency at dawn was much higher than that at other time,but the difference of the moon phase and seasonal rhythm in the onset of cerebral infarction were not significant(P>0.05).There were not diurnal variation,moon phase and seasonal rhythms in the onset for cerebral haemorrhage(P>0.05).ConclusionsThe cerebral infarction occur more frequently at dawn time.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam in the treat-ment of vascular dementia. METHODS:62 patients with vascular dementia were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 31 patients in each group. Patients in control group were treated with Oxiracetam injection 4g/d for 3weeks. Patients in treat-ment group were treated with cinepazide maleate 160 mg/d for 3 weeks on the basis of control group. The patients of 2 groups were exam-ined with Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE)and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL)before and after treatment. RESULTS:There was statistically significant difference in MMSE and ADL scores of 2 groups before and after treatment(P<0.05);MMSE score and ADL score of treatment group was better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);Obvious ADR was not found in both groups. CONCLUSIONS:Cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam can significantly improve ADL and MMSE score in patients with vascular dementia,improve the quality of life,showing significant and good clinical efficacy.

Tumor marker is a hot subject of research in oncology field,which would promote the diagnosis and treatment in clinic.Tumor markers of children's germ cell tumor include α-fetoprotein,glypican 3,SALL4,glial cell line-derived neurotropic factor receptorα-1(GFRα-1),Ki-67,octamer-binding transcription factor4,CD117,D2-40 and CD30.SALL4 would be used as a new tumor marker for germ cell tumor,specially for yolk sac tumor.GFRα-1 can be helpful for the diagnosis of immature teratoma.

112 cases with hemiplegia were randomly divided into three groups,training,acupuncture,and integrated training and acupuncture.Their effects were observed for three monthes.Results:the effect of the integrated training and acupuncture group was significantly better than the other two groups(P＜0.01).The results comfirmed that the motor function of the hemiplegic limbs was enhanced effectively with the integrated training and acupuncture.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Xiangdan point injection in upper limb spasticity after stroke. Methods56 cases were divided into two groups: 28 cases for treatment group were treated with point injection Xiangdan, combined with routine therapy. Another 28 cases for control were only routinely therapy. ResultsThe cure rate of the treatment group was 29% ,the effective rates was 100%, while that of control group was 11% and 25% respectively (P<0.01).Conclusions Xiangdan point injection is more effective in upper limb spasticity after stroke than only routine therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To develop the data processing program of Digoxin blood drug concentration(DBDP)and to determine the range of effective blood concentration of Digoxin.METHODS:The DBDP program was developed by VISUAL BASIC6.0and run in Windows95system.The data of blood drug concentration,which was determined with flurescence polarization immunoassay(FPIA)in our hospital,was analyzed with DBDP program and effective blood drug concentration range of Digoxin was set up.RESULTS:The DBDP program integrated functions including pharmacokinetic parameter estimation,establishment of the effective blood drug concentration range,management of the data of the blood drug concentration moni?toring,automatic addition of patient's file,multifunctional fuzzy searching,retrospective analysis and clinical query about drug use.The effective blood drug concentration range of Digoxin was0.58～2.01ng/ml.CONCLUSION:The DBDP program is a very practical tool for the development of therapeutic drug monitoring and it is very necessary to develop blood drug concen?tration monitoring and establish the effective blood drug concentration range.

Objective To explore the effects of implanting different diameter single hair in treatment of part eyebrow defect.Methods 49 patients with part eyebrow defect,including 37 congenital sparse eyebrows and 12 traumatic eyebrow detect,were performed hair transplantation.Single-hair grafts were harvested from the scalp behind ear or the inferior part of the occiput.Single-hair grafts were implanted according to directions of normal eyebrow.22G or 23G needle was used for stick-andplace insertion.The thick and thin hairs were divided.The thin hairs were implanted into the medial and distal ends and the upper edge,the thick hairs were implanted into the center.Results After 3-10 months follow-up.The reconstructed eyebrows growed slowly,about every 5-7 days needed be trimmed.Two sides eyebrows were symmetry.Because a small amount of transplanted hairs were not alive,twelve patients were performed the second operation for thicker eyebrow.All patients were satisfied with the results.Conclusions In treatment of part eyebrow defect,the results of implanting different diameter single hair are natural and vivid.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of RuPi decoction in the treatment of breast hyperplasia. Methods 100 cases with breast hyperplasia were randomly recruited into a treatment group, which was treated with the RuPi decoction, and a control group, which was treated with RuNing tablet. Three months constituted one course of treatment for both groups. Observe the clinic curative effects, and improvement of major symptoms and signs. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 96% and 84% respectively, showing significant difference between the tow groups(X2=5.01, P<0.05). Conclusion Modified RuPi decoction was effective in the treatment of Breast Hyperplasia.

Objective:To screen for the differentially expressed genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from type 2 diabetes patients with distal symmetric polyneuropathy(DSPN) by gene microarray.Methods: A 5 075 gene cDNA microarray was used to examine gene expression in PBMCs of 2 type 2 diabetes patients with DSPN(group 1),2 type 2 diabetes patients without DSPN(group 2),and 2 age-and sex-matched controls(control group).The differentially expressed genes were identified and subjected to real-time RT-PCR analysis.Results: Twenty-two genes were found to be differentially expressed,including cell metabolism and signal transduction genes,oncogenes and anti-oncogenes,DNA synthesis and repair genes,ion channel and transport protein genes,DNA-binding,transcription and transcription factor genes,and cytoskeleton genes.There were 4 genes up-regulated and 18 down-regulated.Real-time RT-PCR results of AK1 and FBXO7 were consistent with that of microarray analysis.Conclusion: Microarray expression profile of PBMC in type 2 diabetes patients with DSPN is differential.DSPN may be involved in cell metabolism,signal transduction,DNA synthesis,etc.
