Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2013;22(11):962-964
Objective To study the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in detecting sentinel lymph node(SLN) in patients with colorectal cancer during operation and their clinical significance.Methods Twenty-one patients who underwent radical resection of a primary colorectal cancer were enrolled.During operation,1 % methylene blue was injected around the tumor,SLN mapping was performed.Then the SonoVue was injected at the same sites,CEUS was performed to observe changes of SLN in real time,and marked them.The SLN detection rate and accuracy of CEUS were compared to those of conventional dye guided method.Results The rectal cancer of below peritoneal reflex,the detection rate of CEUS for SLN was 92.31 %,and the accuracy was 88.89%.The detection rate of dye guided method for SLN was 84.62%,and the accuracy was 93.10%,there was no statistically significant difference between CEUS and dye guided method (P >0.05).Conclusions When injected SonoVue in submucosal layer,the good mapping of SLN of patients with rectal cancer of below peritoneal reflex can be obtained,it will play an important role in clinical application to map SLN of patients with rectal cancer of below peritoneal reflex.
9.Muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting in the treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2021;19(4):291-299
Objective: To observe the effect of muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting in improving nail fold microcirculation in the patients with shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) after stroke, and the effects on hemorrheology, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and serum substance P (SP). Methods: A total of 72 patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method, with 36 cases in each group. The control group was treated with physical rehabilitation training, and the observation group was treated with additional muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting treatment. The treatment course lasted for 4 weeks. After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. The changes in shoulder-hand syndrome scale (SHSS), simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment-upper extremity (FMA-UE), visual analog scale (VAS), activities of daily living (ADL), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, nail fold microcirculation hemorheology indictors [whole blood viscosity (high-shear, low-shear), hematocrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)], CGRP and SP levels were observed. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was 86.1%, higher than 63.9% in the control group (P<0.05). The overall curative effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of pain sensation, edema, external turn and rotation of the arm in SHSS, and the total score were significantly decreased in both groups (all P<0.05), and each score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of VAS and TCM syndrome in both groups decreased significantly (all P<0.05), and the scores of FMA-UE and ADL increased significantly (all P<0.05). The scores of VAS and TCM syndrome in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05), and the scores of FMA-UE and ADL were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the whole blood viscosity (high-shear and low-shear) and hematocrit in both groups decreased obviously (all P<0.05), and ESR increased obviously (both P<0.05), and the whole blood viscosity (high-shear and low-shear) and hematocrit in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and ESR was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the peritubular state, loop shape, blood flow and total score of nail fold microcirculation in both groups decreased significantly (all P<0.05), and each score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, SP in both groups decreased obviously (both P<0.05), CGRP increased obviously (both P<0.05), and SP in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), CGRP was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with conventional physical rehabilitation training, muscle regions of meridians warm needling method plus pricking Jing-Well points for blood-letting treatment can significantly reduce the clinical symptoms of SHS, promote the recovery of physical functions, improve the nail fold microcirculation and hemorrheology indictors, and regulate the serum cytokine levels such as CGRP and SP.

BackgroundCorneal graft reject is a major cause of corneal transplantation failure.Although many immune-suppressing drugs have been utilized to reduce the reject response,their adverse effects on organ and tissue are still insoluble.The tolerance induction of natural killer T (NKT) cells is currently under investigation.However,the study on the application of NKT cells in high risk corneal transplantation is seldom.ObjectiveThe present study was to explore the effects of α-GalCer-activated NKT cella on allografts survival after high-risk corneal transplantation surgery via retro-bubar injection.Methods The lymphocytes were picked up from the spleen of SPF Lewis rats and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 100 mg/L α-GalCer.After one week,NKT cells were sorted by the FACSVantage system as CD161+ TCR-α+ cell from the lymphocytes with the cell densities 5×106/ml.Ten SPF Fisher344 rats were used to prepare the donor corneas,and 20 Lewis rats served as recipients.The high risk corneal transplantation models were created by corneal suturing in 20 recipient rats.Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) was performed in the model rats.0.1 ml NKT cells or the same volume of normal saline solution were retro-bubarly injected at the end of surgery respectively.The corneal allografts were observed and scored based on Holland criteria at the three-day interval under the slit lamp for 30 days.Two weeks after surgery,three rats from each group were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia method and the eyeballs were obtained for histopathological examination.The inflammatory cell infiltration ( CD4+ and CD8+ ) in grafts was evaluated by immunochemistry and flow cytometry.The use of the animals complied with the Statement of ARVO.ResultsThe mean survival time of the allografts was (7.90± 1.37) days in normal saline solution group and (14.70± 1.49) days in NKT cell group,showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t =10.61,P =0.00 ).Two weeks after surgery,all the allografts showed the severe opacity with lots of new blood vessels and edema in normal saline solution group.However,the corneal grafts were clear in NKT cell group.Abundant CD4+ and CD8+T lymphocytes were seen in the allografts in normal saline solution group,but the inflammatory cells were obviously less in NKT cell group.The percentage of NKT cells in the spleen was (5.67±0.25)% in NKT cell group and ( 1.21±0.19)% in normal saline solution group ( t =8.43,P =0.00 ).Conclusionsα-GalCer-activated NKT cells can prolong the survival time of allografts in high-risk corneal transplantation.Retro-bubar injection of α-GalCer-activated NKT cells probably is a new approach to the prevention of the rejection of corneal transplantation.
