ABSTRACT
The humanistic thinking of life philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) observed inlife activities is different from western theories and methods,which is more about life experience and feeling and rich in practical significance.The life philosophy of TCM is also different from traditional Chinese culture.The intuitive feeling of life is one of the main characteristics of life philosophy of TCM.Students of TCM soak in traditional Chinese medicine culture and are influenced by the thinking of real life caused by the care of realbody in TCM.Chinese medicine education should fully mobilize the tacit knowledge of life education in TCM,play excellent tradition of Chinese traditional life philosophy,and cultivate the life moral quality in students of TCM.
ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the charactor of wide QRS complex tachycardia( WCT)throuGh transesophaGeal atrial pacinG( TEAP ).

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To master the pathogenic conditions,clinical characteristic,and diagnostic clues about AIDS combinated with penicilliosis marneffei and malignant lymphoma.METHODS The clinical data about AIDS combinated with penicilliosis marneffei and malignant lymphoma were summarized in order to learn by experience.RESULTS The clinical symptoms of AIDS combinated with penicilliosis marneffei and malignant lymphoma could be unique,but most were various,the primary symptoms were always fever and enlargement of liver and spleen.CONCLUSIONS AIDS combinated with penicilliosis marneffei is common to be seen,but with penicilliosis marneffei and malignant lymphoma are rarely seen in the clinics,which should be taken high attention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effects of early correction of anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the development and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) who are not on hemodialysis. Methods A total of 158 patients with serum creatinine from 147μmol/L to 400μmol/L were nrolled in this prospective, multicenter study. Eighty-six patients with hemoglobin (Hb)＜110g/L received rHuEPO treatment with a target Hb of ≥110g/L (Group A). Forty patients with comparable Hb concentration (＜110g/L) but did not receive rHuEPO (Group B) and 32 patients with Hb≥110g/L and without rHuEPO treatment (Group C) were served as controls. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was evaluated by echocardiography at baseline and every 3 months for 2 years. Results There was no difference in age, gender, etiology of renal failure, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors among the 3 groups. At baseline, the prevalence of LVH was 72.1% in group A,72.5% in group B and 59.4% in group C. LVMI was inversely correlated with Hb levels (r=0.70, P＜0.01). During the 2-year period, the mean LVMI decreased from 142.6±25.7g/m2 to 132.4±18.5 g/m2 in group A, while increased significantly in both group B and group C. The mean Hb concentration increased from 93.8±14.6g/L to 111.2±10.3g/L (P＜0.05) in group A, but tended to decrease in group B and group C. There was no significant change of the mean blood pressure, number of anti-hypertensive drugs and serum creatinine concentrations in all 3 groups. However, patients' serum creatinine doubled more often in group B and group C than in group A.Conclusions LVH was common in predialysis CRI patients and was associated with the severity of anemia. Early intervention with rHuEPO may reverse LVH in these patients.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Antinuclear antibody, anticentromere antibody, anti-cytoplasm antibody, and antibody against SCL-70 are the main self-antibodies involved in systemic scleroderma (SSc) and are closely connected with the development of SSc.OBJECTIVE: To probe the value of various self-antibodies and proteins in evaluating the functional prognosis of patients with SSc. DESIGN: Case-control study.SETTING: Clinical Laboratory of Second Hospital Affiliated to Jiangxi Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 74 patients, 19 males and 55 females aged 12-59years old, were confirmed of SSc at the outpatient and inpatient departments of Second Hospital Affiliated to Jiangxi Medical College between December 1995 and December 2004. There were 46 cases of diffuse cutaneous SSc, 24 cases of localized cutaneous SSc, and 4 cases of overlapping syndrome. Meanwhile40 inpatients (14 males and 26 females aged 19-54years old) who received treatment due to other diseases were recruited from the same hospital.METHODS: The level of antinuclear antibody, anticentromere antibody,and anti-cytoplasm antibody was detected with indirect irnmuneofluorescence assay; antibody against SCL-70 was detected with Western blot; the level of serum immunoglobulin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and rheumatoid factor was examined with velocity dispersion turbidimetry.ticentromere antibody, anti-cytoplasm antibody, and antibody against SCL-70;RESULTS: Blood samples collected from the 74 patients with SSc and 40controls were proved eligible and all data entered the final statistical analanti-cytoplasm antibody, and antibody against SCL-70: It was obviously higher in SSc group than in control group [66% (49/74), 53% (39/74), 39%(29/74), 7% (5/74), 0, (x2=57.15, P ＜ 0.01)]. The positive rate of antinuclear antibody in patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc was significantly lower than in patients with localized cutaneous SSc [57% (26/46), 83%(20/24),(x2=5.03, P ＜ 0.05)], but the positive rate of antibody against SCL70 was significantly higher than localized cutaneous SSc [48% (22/46),rheumatoid factor in patients with SSc was markedly higher thanin control group [(16.89±11.94), (11.89±2.05) g/L; (23.06±6.18), (22.44±5.53) IU/mL,t=8.01, 2.46, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: The positive rate of antinuclear antibody, anticentromere antibody, anti-cytoplasm antibody, and antibody against SCL-70, as well as the level of immunoglobulin G and rheumatoid factor were obviously increased in patients with SSc, suggesting that these experimental parameters have the value in evaluating the prognosis of SSc.
ABSTRACT
Objective To test the hypothesis that attachment of synovial cell to &?2-microglobulin modified with advanced glycation end products (ACE-?2m) would affect cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation.Methods Normal human synovial cells (type B cells) were isolated and plated in culture dishes coated with AGE-?2m or with normal extracellular matrix proteins (EMP). Adhesion was analyzed by counting the isotope-labelled cells. Spreading was tested using a light microscope and proliferation determined by 3H-TdR incorporation and counting the number of cells. Results Synovial cells adhered less effectively to AGE-?2m, ?2m and AGE-collagen than to the normal EMP (collagen and fibronectin). Cells interacting with AGE-?2m, ?2m or AGE-collagen also demonstrated less extensive spreading throughout the examined time intervals (60-120 minutes after plating), and decreased 3H-TdR incorporation and cell numbers after 72 hours of plating when compared to cells interacting with normal EMP. Conchusion AGE-?2m in amyloid may alter synovial cell behavior in situ in ways which cods contribute to the development of dialysis-related amyloidodsis(DRA).
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the drug-resistant situation of clinical isolated Escherichia coli in our hospital from Jun to Dec in 2007,the aim is to offer evidence for drug-resistant monitoring and clinical antibiotics usage in our hospital. METHODS All clinical specimens isolated and cultured from patients were identified by using the automatic microorganism analyzer VITEK-2 as well as bacteria's drug susceptibility tests were performed using counterparts panel. RESULTS A total of 352 strains E. coli were isolated. The isolated ratio of extended spectram-?-lactamases (ESBLs) producing E. coli was 66.2% (233/352),no ESBLs producing E. coli was 33.8% (119/352). From them 111 strains E. coli were isolated in sputum and 89 strains were ESBLs producing and 22 strains were no ESBLs producing; 111 strains E. coli were isolated in urine and 62 strains were ESBLs producing and 49 strains were no ESBLs producing. The drug-resistance difference was obvious between them as well as between strains isolated from different sites. Better to select piperacillin/tazobactam,cefotetan,ertapenem,imipenem,amikacin,and nitrofurantoin to cure all isolated E. coli infection.CONCLUSIONS The drug-resistance of ESBLs producing E. coli is severe (66.2%) so that hospital administers should strengthen antibiotics usage management and improve antibiotics rational usage,inorder to decrease occurrance of bacterial resistance.
