Objective To analyze CT morphologic features and pathologic changes of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) and to improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy of PSP.Methods The clinical and CT data of 12 cases with PSP (with total 13 lesions)confirmed by surgery and pathology were collected and analyzed retrospectively.All cases performed CT plain scan,9 cases had contrast CT scan.Results 1 1 cases had isolated lesions,and 1 case multiple lesions.The long-axis diameter ranged from 1.10 cm to 8.03 cm, with an average of (3.53±0.78)cm.Of 13 lesions,3 located in left lung (23.1%,1 in the upper lobes,2 in lower lobe),and 10 in right lung (76.9%,2 in upper lobe,2 in the middle lobe and 6 in lower lobe);8 lesions located in the lower lobe (61.5%),and 5 in upper and middle lobe (38.5%).There were center type of 4 lesions (30.8%),and peripheral type of 9 lesions (69.2%);The shapes of 8 lesions wereovoid or similar round (61.5%),irregular type of 1 case (7.7%),shallow lobe of 4 cases (30.8%);Smooth edge of 10 cases (76.9%), burr edge in 3 cases (23.1%).With contrast CT scan,7 cases (53.8%)had vascular welt sign,6 cases (46.2%)had air crescent sign,6 cases (46.2%)had halo sign,and 6 cases (46.2%)had tail sign.3 lesions (23.1%)had scattered spot calcification,and the other lesions had uniform density.The CT value ranged from 28 HU to 47 HU,with the average of 35 HU;Of 9 cases (with 10 lesions)with contrast CT scan,2 lesions had mild enhancement,5 cases had obvious enhancement,and 3 case had non-uniform enhancement.Enhanced CT value was 60-1 10 HU,with the average of 77.2 HU,and with the maximum of 75 HU.Conclusion If the pulmonary nodules or masses in middle-aged females had single round or ovoid shape,with about 3 cm diameters,soft-tissue density,smooth edge,and with obvious enhancement after contrast CT scan,and accompanied by vascular welt sign,air crescent sign,halo sign,or tail sign, the diagnosis of PSP should be considered.

BACKGROUND: Human allogenic acellular dermal matrix, as a kind of permanent dermal scaffold, has widely used in the fields of burn wound reparation and aesthetic medicine. However, it is limited due to insufficient resources. OBJECTIVE: To prepare porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) dermal matrix, in addition, to estimate its in vitro biocompatibility. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro cytology contrast experiment. The Experiment was performed at the laboratory of Biomaterials and Pharmacy Technology Institute, China Institute for Radiation Protection between August 2007 and June 2008. MATERIALS: The experiment pigs were supplied by experimental animal center of China Institute for Radiation Protection. Human fibroblasts were obtained from prepuce tissues of healthy children who underwent circumcision at the Shanxi Provincial General Hospital, Chinese People's Armed Police Forces. METHODS: The PADM was prepared from porcine skin by removing epidermis with a hypertonic salt solution and excluding cellular components in dermis with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and trypsin in hypersonic conditions. Human fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and the biocompatibility of PADM was estimated with MTT method and contact method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Histological morphology of PADM. ②In vitro biocompatibility of PADM. RESULTS: The prepared PADM was a kind of matrix with normal structure and organization of collagen without epidermis and any cellular components in the dermis. The extraction of the porcine acellular dermal matrix had no effect on proliferation of the cultured human fibroblast. The cultured human fibroblasts could attach and proliferate on PADM. CONCLUSION: The PADM effectively removed epidermis and all cellular components with excellent biocompatibility can be obtained by this preparation method.

0 05); Flatus, time to resume early activity and hospital stay in laparoscopic group were 2 24?0 56、 3 94?1 64、 13 94?6 5 days respectively, which was significantly shorter than those in open group ( P 0 05) The mean follow up time of the two groups were 23 15?7 95 and 22 19?7 46 months, respectively Local recurrence rate,metachronous metastases rate and cumulative survival probability at 36 months were similar for the two groups Conclusion These results suggest that laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for colon cancer can be performed safely, effectively and economically with the advantages of minimal invasiveness

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tension free vaginal tape obturator technique (TVT-O) in females stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods From June 2008 to May 2012,156 cases of female SUI were treated with TVT-O procedure in our hospital.The mean age is 56.3 ±13.9 years.There were 79.5％ patients who suffered simple SUI while 20.5％ patients with SUI and urge urinary incontinence (UUI).The mean follow-up time was 16.5 months.All patient’s ICI-Q-SF scores and I-QOL scores were collected.The efficacy and safety of TVT-O were analyzed.Results The mean operative time was 34 ± 11 minutes and the mean estimated blood loss were 15 ± 9 ml.One hundred and forty-five cases were cured with TVT-O (92.9％) while 8 cases were improved (5.1％).The preoperative and postoperative ICI-Q-SF symptom scores were 8.2 ± 2.1 and 0.5 ± 1.3 while the I-QOL life quality scores were 28.5 ± 10.3 and 69.8 ± 9.9 respectively.There was statistical difference between the preoperative and postoperative scores (P ＜ 0.05 ).No bladder injury was recorded during the procedures.There were two cases whose vaginal walt were injured and repaired intraoperatively.No pelvic hematoma,long-term pain,sling erosion,infection and fistula were found in all cases.Three cases ( 1.9％ ) suffered temporary urinary retention and were cured by two weeks urethral catheterization.Conclusions TVT-O technique seems to be an easy and minimally invasive procedu(r)e with less complication,which supports its safety and reliability in the treatment of female SUI.

Objective To study the characteristics of different papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC)subtypes and their prognosis after nephrectomy.Methods Clinical data of 14 PRCC patients(7 males,7 females)with ages ranging from 20-77 in our institute from 2005 to 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 5 tumors in the left kidney and 9 tumors in the right kidney.The average maximum tumor diameter was 3.8(1.6-7.8)cm.Patients presented with gross hematuria(n =3),flank pain(n =3),palpable abdominal mass(n =1)or asymptomatic(n =7).The TNM stages were 8 T1aN0M0,2 T1bN0M0,1 T1aN0M1,1 T2aN0M0,1 T3aN0M0 and 1 T3aN1 M0.Six patients were treated with radical nephrectomy,8 cases were treated with partial nephrectomy.Results There were 6 type Ⅰ and 8 type Ⅱ PRCCs cases.In pathology,type Ⅰ PRCC showed papillae covered by small cells with scanty basophilic cytoplasm,and arranged in a single layer on the papillary basement membrane with low nuclear grade.Type Ⅱ PRCC was composed of cells with higher nuclear grade,abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm,and pseudostratified nuclei on papillary cores.There were 12 well-differentiated cases,2 moderate-differentiated cases and no poorly differentiated case.Follow-up was carried out from 12to 80 months.During the follow-up,1 patient with type Ⅰ PRCC developed multiple lung metastases 26 month after surgery and deteriorated into hepatic and bone metastases at 34 month after surgery.We offered the patient with targeted therapy and the patient was still alive.There was 1 type Ⅱ PRCC patient died with multiple metastases at 42 month after surgery.Others were still alive without local recurrence and metastasis.Conclusions PRCC is not a common subtype of renal cell carcinoma in China.Early stage PRCC patient would achieve good prognosis after treated with nephrectomy.Targeted therapy is a good treatment option for metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma patients.
