BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis can cause severe effect on spinal cord or other tissue and organ sometimes.OBJECTIVE: To establish cirrhosis model with rat liver injured by tetrachloride so as to investigate the distribution of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)in spinal cord of rats with cirrhosis.DESIGN: Completely randomized controlled study.SETTING: Anatomy Department of Capital University of Medical Sciences.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed at the Anatomy Department of Capital University of Medical Sciences from March 2002 to December 2003. Totally 20 male Wistar rats were divided randomly into cirrhosis group and normal group with 10 in each group.METHODS: Cirrhosis model in cirrhosis group was established with rat liver injured by tetrachloride, but rats in normal group were not treated with any method. After 3 months, total rats in the two groups were perfused and fixed; meanwhile, tissue of spinal cord was taken out for section.Quantity and gray degree of NOS positive cell in spinal cord of rats with cirrhosis were measured with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen phosphate-diaphorase (NADHP-d) histochemical method and Leica Q500IW image analysis system.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [1] Gray degree of NOS positive neurons of rats in the two groups; [2] Distribution of NOS positive cell of rats in the two groups.RESULTS: Twenty rats all entered the final analysis. [1] Gray degree of NOS positive neurons of rats in the two groups was 60 (P ＞ 0.05). [2] In the area of gray matter of spinal cord, NOS positive cells were mainly distributed over the circumference of central canal, i.e. the Ⅹ layer of spinal cord and intermediolateral nucleus. Color of NADHP-d was positive, and the cellular form was shaped in triangle and fusiform. Cellular nucleus was not colored but color of cytoplasm was deep. The size of cells was moderate mainly of 25 μm. NOS positive cells were generally distributed averagely over intermediate zone of gray matter in cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord and had no specific changes.CONCLUSION: Expression of NOS in spinal cord of rats in the cirrhosis group and the normal group is probably identical. Distributive characteristics of nitrogen monoxide (NO) in spinal cord suggest that adjustment on low sympathetic nerve of rats with cirrhosis is not different from that of the normal.

Executive function is an important advanced cognitive process, and it is the function that integrates different cognitive processes to achieve one's aim. Updating is an important component of executive function. According to the classifications of Miyake & Colletee on executive function, two study paradigms on memory updating are discussed: n-back paradigm & running memory paradigm. A new study method called latent variable analysis and new studies of cognitive neuroscience on memory updating are introduced. Issues on ethics and morality in research on cognitive experiment of psychology are briefly demonstrated to explore appropriate direction for research of executive function in future.

Objective To evaluate the value of three-dimensional color power angiography(3D-CPA,) in osteosarcoma diagnosis. Methods Forty-three cases with osteosarcoma were detected with 3D-CPA to assess the vascular classification(3D-CPA Ⅰ to Ⅲ) and measure the vascular parameters including vascularization index(VI), flow index(FI) and vascularization-flow index(VFI). Results All of the 43 cases were classified into 3D-CPA Ⅲ type. The space structure shape of blood vessels and the origin of nutrient vessels was clear. The quantitative measurement showed that VI was 25.84±6.87,FI was 34, 18±2.93, VFI was 9.02±4.04. Conclnsions It is a new method to analyze and diagnose osteosarcoma with 3D-CPA because it can show the nutrient vessels and the embranchments of blood vessels clearly, tridimensionally and integrally and Bake quantitative or partial-quantitative analysis.

Through literature retrieval, the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in peri-anesthesia period are summarized. It is found out that TEAS can reduce anesthetics consumption, relieve stress reaction of surgery, stabilize patients' hemodynamics, reduce surgical complication and improve immune function and quality of recovery; besides, it has protective function on heart, brain, liver, stomach, intestines and so on. However, except certain analgesic effect, the sham TEAS and transcutaneous electrial nerve stimulation do not have other functions of TEAS. The acupoint selection and stimulation parameter of TEAS in assisting anesthesia are still needed be improved and united.

Glucocorticoid is the first choice for the treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children. But due to various reasons, nephrotic syndrome becomes hormone dependent or resistant, and progresses into refractory nephrotic syndrome in some children, which forces the clinician to constantly look for new immunosuppressants in order to alleviate the condition.,Rituximab injection (RTX) as a monoclonal antibody against CD20 has been widely used in the treatment of a variety of immune diseases in recent years. The use of RTX in refractory nephrotic syndrome in children, its main adverse effects and possible mechanisms was reviewed in this article.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is associated with a variety of gastrointestinal diseases.Studies have shown that Hp eradication rate may be affected by the disease type and stage of disease progression.Aims: To investigate the influence of endoscopic ulcer stage on Hp eradication rate.Methods: A total of 423 peptic ulcer (PU) patients with Hp infection from January 2015 to July 2016 at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were enrolled.Of them,133 were gastric ulcer (GU) and 255 were duodenal ulcer (DU).A 14-day bismuth quadruple therapy was given for Hp eradication,and the eradication rates were analyzed with the endoscopic ulcer stage.Univariate analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the eradication rate.Results: There was no significant difference in Hp eradication rates between GU and DU groups (82.7％ vs.83.9％,P>0.05).The eradication rates according to endoscopic ulcer stage were significantly different in GU group (active stage vs.inactive stage: 89.0％ vs.75.0％,P＜0.05);but in DU group,the eradication rate in active stage was similar to that in inactive stage (85.6％ vs.83.0％,P>0.05).Univariate analysis revealed that ulcer stage was correlated with the success rate of eradication;the eradication rate in active stage was significantly higher than that in inactive stage (87.8％ vs.80.3％,P＜0.05).Conclusions: Endoscopic ulcer stage is correlated with the Hp eradication rate in PU,especially GU patients.Hp eradication therapy performed in patients with active PU could yield a higher eradication rate.

Objective To study the effect of mosapride citrate in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and its effect on gastrin .Methods 86 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease admitted in our hospital from August 2013 to August 2016, those patients were divided into observation group and control group according to the order of admission,43 cases in each group.The control group was treated with esomeprazole on the basis of basal therapy, and the observation group was treated with mosapride citrate on the basis of control group.The clinical curative effect and adverse reaction were analyzed,visual analogue scale(VAS), gastrin and motilin were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.Results After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than the control group [90.70% (39/43) vs.65.12% (28/43)](P<0.05). The VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group [(2.43 ±0.25) vs.(4.02 ±0.41)](P<0.05).The levels of gastrin and motilin in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group[ (55.87 ±4.82) pg/mL, (308.43 ±19.31) pg/mL vs. (44.12 ±3.86) pg/mL,(243.12 ±15.76) pg/mL](P<0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse reaction rate between two groups.
