This paper reports the study and design of a visualization system of the ultrasonic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus with the function of endoscopic sinus. On Linux operating platform, we captured the video data of a video capture card that connected the endoscopic sinus using Video4Linux (V4L2) that was provided by the operating system. The video images were displayed by Qt. The visualization system solved the problem that the current ultrasonic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus had to rely on the large and expensive endoscopy equipment. And this simplified the doctors' operation, met the need of monitoring nasal cavity in the process of operating, greatly reduced the costs of treatment and would contribute to the promotion of the instrument. As a result, it has been tested that the nasal endoscopic image achieved by the system is clear and smooth, and fully meet the clinical needs of ultrasonic treatment of rhinitis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of radiofrequency therapy in the arthroscopic treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.MethodsFifty patients with subacromial impingement syndrome treated arthroscopically were enrolled in the study.Preoperatively,the average visual analogue scale (VAS)score of all 50 patients was 5.3±1.8; the average UCLA score was 15.8±4.2; the average Constant score was 65.6±16.2; the average Simple Shoulder Test(SST) score was 6.5±3.3; the forward elevation was averagely 127.4°±40.1°; the external rotation was averagely 34.4°±23.1°; the internal rotation was averagely at L1 level.Patients were randomly assigned to radiofrequency group which received subacromial decompression and Topaz radiofrequency treatment,or control group which only underwent subacromial decompression.The VAS score,UCLA score,Constant score,and SST score were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes 3 weeks,6 weeks,3 months,6 months and 1 year after operation.The assessment of shoulder range of motion included forward elevation、external rotation and internal rotation.The clinical outcome data were compared between the radiofrequency group and the control group,as well as before and after operation within each group.ResultsAt the final follow-up,the average VAS score of all 50 patients was 0.4±1.1; the average UCLA score was 32.9±3.0; the average Constant score was 96.4±5.1; the average SST score was 11.3±1.2; the forward elevation was averagely 161.5°±13.7°; the external rotation was averagely 52.2°±10.9°; the internal rotation was averagely at T7 level.There were statistical differences between preoperative and postoperative indexes mentioned above.However,there were no statistical differences in indexes between the radiofrequency group and the control group at any time point.ConclusionThe Topaz radiofrequency therapy has no significant impact on clinical outcome of arthroscopic treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.

To study the chemical constituents of Dipsacus asper, chromatographic methods such as D101 macroporous resin, silica gel, octadecylsilyl (ODS) column chromatographic techniques and preparative HPLC were used, and five compounds were isolated from 70% (v/v) ethanol extract of the plant. By using spectroscopic techniques including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and TOF-MS, the compounds were identified as 3beta-hydroxy-24-nor-urs-4 (23), 12-dien-28-oic acid (1), ursolic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnosyl(1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 3)-alpha-L-rhamnosyl (1 --> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (4), 3-O-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl (1 --> 4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 4)] [alpha-L-rhamnosyl(1 --> 3)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 3)-alpha-L-rhamnosyl(1 --> 2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin (5), separately. Among them, 1 is a new compound, and 2 is isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To investigate the expression of p53,VEGF,E-cad,CK20 and its clinical meanings in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods The specimen microarrays and immunohistochemistry were applied to detect selected cancer-related protein expression in 45 cases of bladder TCC and 8 cases of normal control. Results Abnormal expression of p53,E-cad and CK20 were detected 100.0%,55.6%,55.6% respectively in bladder TCC group,which were expressed normally in control group with significant differences.However,there was no VEGF expression differences between those 2 groups (87.5% v.86.7%).Abnormal expression intensity of p53 and expression rate of E-cad were closely related to the pathological features.CK20 expression was co-related positively with disease staging rather than grading.VEGF played less role in co-relating with pathological features. Conclusions p53,E-cad and CK20 play an important roles in the development of bladder TCC,and VEGF plays less.Microarrays is suggested to detect a large scale of specimen for multiple proteins,it is effective.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the occurrence of ADR induced by over-the-counter(OTC)drug in order to guide the rational use of drugs. METHODS:45 cases of ADR induced by OTC drug were analyzed retrospectively in terms of patient's gen-eral information,allergic history,allergenic drugs,reason for drug use,route of administration,incubation period,days of hospi-talization,clinical manifestation,treatment,outcome,etc. RESULTS:Among 45 patients,there were 14 male and 31 female. The patients were mainly 20-30 year-old(31.1%). Three patients had previous history of allergy(6.7%). Most ADR were induced by oral drugs(82.2%). Reasons for drug use were mainly disease of respiratory system(23 cases,51.1%). The results of causality as-sessment were positive in 3 patients(6.7%),probable in 35(n=77.8%),and possible in 7 patients(15.6%). ADR were mainly induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs,57.8%),Chinese patent medicine (20.0%),drugs for external use (17.8%). The clinical manifestations mainly included exanthematous drug eruption (33.3%),erythama multiforme drug eruption (24.4%),urticarial drug eruption(13.3%). CONCLUSIONS:NSAIDs are the main allergenic drugs,and ADR induced by OTC traditional Chinese medicine can not be ignored. To improve medical knowledge and skills of the public and the scientific use of OTC drug are beneficial to improve the clinical treatment level.

To explore a new way of constructing bioartificial renal tubule assist device (RAD) in vitro and its function of transporting sodium (Na(+)) and glucose and to evaluate the application of atomic force microscope in the RAD construction, rat renal tubular epithelial cell line NRK-52E was cultured in vitro, seeded onto the outer surfaces of hollow fibers in a bioreactor, and then cultured for two weeks to construct RAD. Bioreactor hollow fibers without NRK-52E cells were used as control. The morphologies of attached cells were observed with scanning electron microscope, and the junctions of cells and polysulfone membrane were observed with atomic force microscope. Transportation of Na(+) and glucose was measured. Oubaine and phlorizin were used to inhibit the transporting property. The results showed that NRK-52E cells and polysulfone membrane were closely linked, as observed under atomic force microscope. After exposure to oubaine and phlorizin, transporting rates of Na(+) and glucose were decreased significantly in the RAD group as compared with that in the control group (P<0.01). Furthermore, when the inhibitors were removed, transportation of Na(+) and glucose was restored. It is concluded that a new RAD was constructed successfully in vitro, and it is able to selectively transport Na(+) and glucose.

Objective To investigate the significance of PI3K/AKT signal transduetion pathway in gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST).Methods The expression of PI3K、Akt、PTEN were detected with RT-PCR and Westem-blot of tumor specimens from 124 GIST cases and the corresponding normal gastric mucosa.Results In gastrointestinal stromal tumors,the tumor suppressor gene-PTEN was on low expression as with the inereased expression of PI3K and Akt.The positive expression rate of PTEN,PI3K and Akt was not statistically correlated with patients'demographics and tumor histological type,but they are significantly correlated with lymphatic metastasis and mucosal invasion.The expression of PI3 K and Akt are of significantly positive correlation(r=0.292,P=0.031).The expression of PI3K and PTEN are of significantly negetive correlation(r=-0.412,P=0.036).The expression of PTEN and Akt are of significantly negetive correlation(r=-0.386,P=0.024).Conclusion PI3 K/Akt and P,PTEN may have bean on reciprocally suppressive effect during the development of GIST.
