Purpose: To explore the relationship between the amount of lymphocyte containing adhesion molecules(CD_(44)) and the development and postoperative metastasis of bone tumors. Method: The percentage of peripheral blood CD_(44) positive lymphocyte's(PB CD_(44) + L) in 45 patients with bone tumor and the tissue CD_(44) content in 7 malignant bone tumors were determined with the flow cytomentric immunological method. Results: The PB CD_(44) + L in benign tumor group(BG) and malignant tumor group(MG) were much higher than that of the control, and the PB CD_(44) + L in MG was higher than that in BG. No difference was found in the content of PB CD_(44) + L between the mahgnant non-metastatic group (MNG) and the malignant metastatic group(MMG). The postoperative PB CD_(44) + L in the BG and MNG was decreased, but CD_(44) was unchanged pre-and postoperatively in the MMG. The patients with high CD_(44) content in the tumor tissues were liable to postoperative lung metastasis. Conclusions: The determination of CD_(44) in PBL and tumor tissue can be helpful to determine the nature of the neoplasm and to predict its prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of OUR Rotating Gamma System in neurosurgical clinical application. Methods Based on the results of animal experiments, 2381 patients with intracranial disease were treated using OUR Rotating Gamma System in Aohai Gamma Knife Center of Navy General Hospital of PLA betwean December 1996 and November 2002. There were 1288 males and 1093 females and their age ranged from 3 to 84 years (mean 45.8 years). 1020 patients had benign intracranial tumors, and of them 446 suffered from pituitary tumors, 254 meningioma, 148 craniopharyngioma and 103 vestibular schwannomas. Malignant tumors were diagnosed in 796 patients, among them glioma was found in 360 and metastasis in 360. 374 patients had cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and 191 functional neurological disorders. Treatment technique of Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery, dose prescription and precise orientation performed in intracranial tumor or foci were analyzed, and the preliminary outcome of treatment was evaluated in this study. In addition, the management of the possible complication and adverse reaction was studied. Results Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery alone, or combined with other treatment procedures, could cure some of selected patients with benign brain lesions including pituitary neoplasms, meningioma, vestibular schwannomas, AVMs, and craniopharyngioma etc. And this treatment was also beneficial to some patients with malignant tumors. The incidence of radiation edema was 0.75%. Conclusions The clinical results suggest that Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a very effective, accurate and relatively safe neurosurgical tool used either as a primary or adjuvant procedure for treatment of intracranical pathologic processes. However, it might lead to some severe or fatal complications if used inappropriately. Thus, optimal result would not be obtained unless a careful and precise Gamma treatment based on the operative rules and the effective management for postoperative complications are well planned.

Objective Use the automatic microbiological analysis system which for the streptococci (ATB rapid 32 Strep) to identify streptococci, and compare the examination speed and accuracy with the internationally recognized bacterium identification golden method API 20 Strep (streptococci identification biochemistry system) to enable the clinical microorganism room use ATB rapid 32 Strep identification system correctly, and provide the etiology basis to clinical promptly.Methods Isolate the bacterium from patient blood, cerebrospinal fluid, pig heart, pork and so on, then separate the streptococci in form to the blood plate, lay them in carbon dioxide incubator, after 35 ℃ 24 hours. Use ATB rapid 32 Strep,API 20 Strep and the traditional manual method to identify 18 strains of bacterias and carry on the medicine sensitive experiment.Results ATB rapid 32 Strep identified 16 strains as streptococcus suis II, 2 strains as streptococcus bovis II; API 20 Strep identified 17 strains as streptococcus suis II, 1 strain can not be identified; the tradition manually method identified all of the 18 strains as streptococcus group D . These 18 strains all sensitive to the Chloramphenicol , clindamycin, erythromycin, levofloxacin, penicillin, quinupristin/dalfopristin, cefotaxime, vancomycin and sulfafurazole , and resistant to the tetracyclin.Conclusion ATB rapid 32 Strep can identify the streptococcus suis in 4 hours , and the coincidence rate with API 20 Strep is 94.4%.So ATB rapid 32 Strep is one kind of system which could identify bacterium simply,quickly,accurately,and provide infectious disease etiology information for clinical immediately, satisfy the requirement of clinician and the microorganism examines.

Objective To study the effect of baicalin on the content of glutamate acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain of rat with experimental intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods The intracerebral hemorrhage rat model was induced by collagen enzyme + heparin sodium. The rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group and high, middle, low dose group of baicalin. Rats were treated with the physiological saline and different concentration of baicalin respectively. The brain of each group was taken out three days later and the brain homogenate was prepared. The content of Glu, Asp and GABA was measured with the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results Compared with the sham group, the levels of Asp were obviously higher (P0.05) in each dose group of baicalin. Compared with the sham group, the contents of Glu were increased obviously (P

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2000;0(06):-
Objective To study the Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene in Hubei area, and analyze its correlation with coronary heart disease (CHP) and hypertension and the relationship between polymorphism and lipid metabolism. Methods Using PCR RFLP, we detected genotypes of Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene. Results The allele A frequencies of Ile796Val in human SCAP gene for controls, CHD patients and the hypertension patients were 0.32, 0.45 and 0.42 respectively. The allele G frequencies were 0 68, 0.55 and 0.58 respectively. There were significant differences in frequencies of genotype and alleles between controls and hypertension group. And there was significant difference in the level of TC, LDL C and ApoB. In CHD group, there was significant difference in the TC level between different genotypes. In hypertension patients, although a difference was noted in genotype, there was no significant difference in allele frequencies and lipid level exceps a significant difference in the levels of TC, LDL C and ApoB in hypertension patients. Conclusion Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene may be a great agent to cause disorder in the lipid level of blood and lipid metabolism of tissue. It is of great significance in disorder in lipid metabolism of inter cellular and genetic investigation of hyperlipidemia.

Objective To observe the interaction between the extreme stress and mild traumatic brain injury in the patients surviving Wenchuan earthquake.Methods Forty survivors in Wenchuan earthquake were selected for the psychological status survey 2-30 days after the disaster,among them 20 survivors were suffering from mild traumatic brain injury,and the remainders were in normal physical conditions.The Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90),which consisted of 90 items with 5 grades for each item(0-4 grade,grade zero as none and grade 4 as severe),including 9 symptom factors,was adopted to perform the evaluation for all the subjects in both groups,and the subscales were compared.Results Five subscales of SCL-90,including somatization,depression,anxiety,hostility and fear,which averaged 2.12?0.50,1.83?0.60,1.99?0.40,1.80?0.70 and 2.20?0.8,respectively,were significantly increased in mild traumatic brain injury group than that in control group(P0.05).Conclusions Mild traumatic brain injury occurred among survivors of severe earthquakes is strongly associated with psychological problems.A higher incidence of psychological disorder in survivors of earthquake with mild traumatic brain injury indicates that one must be cautious when attributing a health problem to mild traumatic brain injury,since the post-traumatic stress disorder and depression may be the primary problem.The high-risk population with psychological obstacle consists of the survivors with mild traumatic brain injury,and the interactions of both psychological stress and traumatic brain injury may lead to more complex clinical symptoms,so psychotherapy should be emphasized in the treatment of patients with mild traumatic brain injury.
