[Objective] We summarizes the professor Shao Changrong's experience in treating COPD by using invigorating spleen and draining dampnessmethod. [Method] This paper analyzes the etiology, pathology, therapeutic principle and relevant case revealing about the COPD patients with insufficien-cy of the spleen and phlegmatic hygrosis. And we explain the Pro. Shao's empirical prescription cal ed Ping-Ke-Hua-Tan decoction. [Results] In his view, COPD attack and aggravation are related with phlegmatic hygrosis. The fundamental reason is the insufficiency of the spleen and the external reason is phlegmatic hygrosis. Its mechanism is mostly the blending of excessiveness and deficiency. [Conclusion] Theinvigorating spleen and draining dampnessmethod is effective in treating COPD. Pro. Shao Changrong's diagnosing and treating of COPD is worthy widely clinical reference and promotion.

Objective To investigate the clinical risk factors of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA ) combined with elevated serum amylase(AMS). Methods Totally 263 patients with DKA were enrolled in our study. They were divided into 2 groups according to the level of AMS:DKA with normal AMS (DKA,n=188);DKA with elevated AMS(HAMS,n = 75 ). HAMS patients then were divided into two subgroups according to the diagnosis with acute pancreatitis(AP)(HAMS+ AP,n = 25 )and without AP (HAMS,n = 50 ). TG,FPG and AMS were measured and analyzed with univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. Results HAMS group patients had a ratio of 28.5％ with elevated AMS and 9.5％ with AP.HAMS group had higher FPG,TG,HbA1 c,Na+ ,osmolality,BUN and Scr than DKA group(P <0.05).The levels of FPG,TG,osmolality,BUN and the time of CO2 CP recovery in HAMS+AP subgroup were all significantly higher than those in HAMS patients without AP (P < 0.05 ). Correlation analysis showed that HAMS was positively correlated with TG,FPG,Na+ ,Osmolality and BUN(P <0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertriglyceridemia was the independent risk factor of DKA combined with HAMS(OR 1.244,P <0.01),and was the independent risk factor of DKA combined with AP(OR 1.211,P <0.05). Conclusion Hypertriglyceridemia is the related risk factor of DKA combined with HAMS and AP. This study provides a theoretical basis to early screen patients with hyperamylasemia in DKA.

Objective To investigate the correlation between abnormal lipid metabolism and coronary artery lesions. Methods Two hundred and sixty seven patients were devided into the control group ( n =101) and the coronary heart disease (CHD) group ( n =166), which included single vessel lesion ( n =54), double vessel lesions ( n =68) and triple vessel lesions ( n =44) according to coronary angiography. At the same time the lipid components were examined and the ralationship between serum lipid level and coronary artery lesions were analysed. Results Compared with the control, the total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) level were significantly elevated while but high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lowered in the CHD group. The severity of coronary lesions was increased with the elevation of TC, LDL-C, apolipoproteinB (ApoB), TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and the reduction of HDL-C. There were significant differences in terms of lipid level beteewn the CHD group and the control. The analysis showed that TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C were most directly correlated with the coronary artery lesions in the CHD group. Conclusion The results suggest that the severity of coronary artery lesions correlated with abnormal lipid metabolism, and LDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C are better indicators than other lipid components.

Objective To study the production and distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in the skin and sera of patients with psoriasis and their roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Methods Levels of VEGF and MCP-1 in sera were measured using double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in patients with psoriasis. The expression and distribution of VEGF and MCP-1 in psoriatic lesions, non lesional skin and normal controls were detected by immunohistochemical method. Results ①The expression of VEGF in lesional skin and non lesional skin of psoriasis patients was higher than that in normal controls. Levels of MCP-1 were increased in lesional skin than those in non lesional skin and normal controls.②Serum levels of VEGF were significantly increased in psoriasis as compared with normal control. There was no significant difference in serum levels of MCP-1 between patients and controls.③There was no correlation between the expression of MCP-1 or VEGF of psoriatic lesion and PASI index. Conclusion Overexpression of two cytokines, VEGF and MCP-1, known to promote new blood vessel formation may contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Simulating physiological neuronal and hormonal conditions during digestive and interdigestive periods, the study identified the changes of the motility of biliary system including bile duct and sphincter of Oddi (SO) before and after cholecystojejunostomy. Thirty-five rabbits were divided into five groups randomly. The experimental groups received the venous injection of CCK 10 ng/kg, erythromycin 10 mg/kg, atropine 3 micrograms/kg and L-NAME 10 mg/kg respectively. Each rabbit underwent manometry through introducing a three-lumen catheter via the papilla retrogradely, using the low-compliance papillary infusion system. Then the gallbladder and the upper segment of the jejunum was anastomosed and the manometric procedures repeated after one week. SO basal pressure was increased, contraction amplitude decreased, contraction time shortened after cholecystojejunostomy. L-NAME, CCK and erythromycin could all excite SO. L-NAME could increase basal pressure and contraction amplitude, CCK increase basal pressure contraction amplitude and frequency, and erythromycin increase contraction amplitude, respectively. But comparing with that before cholecystojejunostomy, the increasing extent was decreased. The tensional and spontaneous contractions of the SO were under the control of the neural and hormonal mechanism. The anastomosis of gallbladder and jejunum and the drainage of bile made the tensional contraction stronger, but the spontaneous contraction weakened after the operation due to the decreases of the sensitivity of SO to hormonal factors. The clinical symptoms may not be relieved when the patients with SO dysfunction accepted cholecystojejunostomy.

Pituitary metastasis is a rare tumor complication, and papillary thyroid carcinoma is a tumor with low hematogenous dissemination tendency. Here we report a rare case with pituitary metastasis from papillary thyroid cancer. This patient was 43 years old and was admitted to our hospital because of " blurred vision in the right eye" . She had partial thyroidectomy because of thyroid nodule 8 years ago, and was diagnosed as papillary thyroid carcinoma, but without any further treatment onwards. After admission, MRI revealed a pituitary mass protruding through the sella turcica into the right sphenoid sinus. Neuro-endoscopic transsphenoidal resection was performed to relieve visual impairment. Pathological result was papillary thyroid carcinoma pituitary metastasis. She underwent thyroidectomy 2 months later. Because tumor of the left lobe invaded the esophagus, it was resected palliatively, and adjuvant therapy with radioactive iodine was performed subsequently. This case suggests that long-term management of papillary thyroid carcinoma should be strengthened to reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis, additionally radioiodine therapy is an important complementary treatment.

ATP1A3 gene mutations are associated with a wide spectrum of neurological symptoms. This article describes a case in children, which is caused by mutation of ATP1A3 gene. A seven years old boy presented with symptoms of fever-induced generalized dystonia, dysarthria, and paroxysmal weakness. Gene sequencing results showed that the ATP1A3 gene in the boy had heterozygous mutations of c.1838C>T. Combined with the clinical manifestations, gene mutations and literatures, the patient was diagnosed as a phenotypic overlap of an atypical form of rapid onset dystonia-parkinsonism and paroxysmal weakness. The results of genetic testing can contribute to the early diagnosis of patients with atypical and overlapping phenotypes in ATP1A3 spectrum disorder.
