ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical diagnosis and treatment of multiple endocrine neoplasia ( MEN ) 2A, and report the mutation of the RET proto-oncogene in a pedigree of three patients with MEN 2A.MethodsBilateral adrenalectomy was performed on two of the three patients with hypertension and bilateral adrenal-conserving adrenal pheochromocytoma resection was performed on the other patient. All three patients were treated by total thyroidectomy and neck lymphadenectomy. Twelve family members were recruited to the study. Peripheral blood was collected and total genomic DNA was prepared for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR products of exon 10 and exon 11 of the RET proto-oncogene were purified and a direct DNA sequence analysis was performed.ResultsThe pathological diagnosis of the specimens was bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma in all the three patients. There was no tumor recurrence or distant metastasis after 1.5 - 5 years of follow-up. A missense mutation of TGC (Cys)to CGC (Arg) at codon 634 in exon 11 of the RET proto-oncogene was detected in all three patients. Genetic screening identified two mutation carriers in the other members of this pedigree.ConclusionGenetic mutation screening and surgical intervention may be helpful to the members of high-risk families.

Objective:To study the cytokine mechanism of Jiawei Xuanfei Toujie Ji(JXT)therapy to influenza infected mouse.Methods:Mice were inoculated intranasally with mouse lung-adapted influenza virus strain(FM1),and were treated with JXT. At 5th days after postinoculation were sacrificed, and IL-2,TNF-?,IL-6,IFN-? in their sera were measured with ELISA kits, their lungs sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.Results:Compared with model group ,the levels of IL-2 and IFN-? in JXT group were dramatically higher,and the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 were lower,and pathological effects of influenza pneumonia showed less lung injury.Conclusion:Regulative effects on cytokine may be one of the factors that JXT decrease the pathogenesis of influenza-induced acute lung injury.

AIM: To study the effect of berberine(Ber) on invasion and migration of PG cells from a high metastatic human giant lung carcinoma cell line and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: Agarose drop method was used to detect PG migration; transwell cabin with FN in lower chamber was adopted to detect PG chemotaxis. PG adhesion to FN and martrigel was detected by MTT; PG invasive ability was determined by transwell cabin covered with martrigel. Expression of MMP2/TIMP2 protein and mRNA were detected by quantitative immunocytochemical method and RT - PCR respectively. RESULTS: After PG was treated by Ber( 10 mg/L) for 24 h: 1 ) migration distance of Ber- treated PG cells was markedly shorter than that of control cells (P ＜0. 01 ) and the number of passed membrane cells towards FN was much fewer than that of control cells ( P ＜ 0. 01 ); 2) PG adhesion to FN and martrigel was inhibited remarkably by Ber compared with control PG; 3) the migration of PG cells through the martrigel -coated transwell was significantly inhibited by the addition of Ber; 4) MMP2 expression was reduced significantly(P ＜0. 01 ), while the TIMP2 expression showed up - regulating tendency, but had no differences compared with control group (P ＞ 0. 05). The MMP2/TIMP2 ratio was decreased; 5 )the MMP2 mRNA/TIMP2 mRNA ratio was decreased by Ber. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of cell migration, adhesion to ECM and invasion into ECM of tumor cells and regulation of homeostasis between MMPs and TIMPs to maintain ECM integrity may be the basic mechanism of inhibitive effect of Ber on invasion and metastasis of tumors.

Objective To evaluate the change of left atrial function after mitral valvuloplasty in patients with mitral valve prolapse by measuring left atrial strain using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE).Methods Study population consisted of 25 patients with mitral valve prolapse and 25 healthy subjects.High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded from the apical four chamber view and two chamber view.Images of patients with mitral valve prolapse were respectively recorded at pre-operation,3 days and 3 months post-operation.Left atrial longitudinal strain was measured in two views using two-dimensional strain soft ware.Results ①Compared with the control group,global peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS),peak atrial contraction strain (PACS) and atrial longitudinal strain during early diastole(ALSED) decreased (P ＜0.01) in patients with mitral valve prolapse,but global timeto-peak of peak atrial longitudinal strain(TPLS) increased(P ＜0.01).Regurgitant jet area/left atrium area (RJA/LAA) in patients with mitral valve prolapse correlated negatively with global PALS(r =-0.620,P ＜ 0.01).② Compared with preoperative group,global PALS,PACS,ALSED and TPLS decreased significantly at 3 days after surgery(P ＜0.01).Global PALS,ALSED(P ＜0.01) and PACS(P ＜0.05)increased at 3 months after surgery,but global TPLS did not differ significantly.Conclusions 2D-STE could accurately evaluate the change of left atrial function after mitral valvuloplasty.

Objective To investigate the value of the intraoperative real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D-TEE) in therapeutic application of surgery for the mitral valve prolapse.Methods Thirty-five patients underwent surgical treatment were diagnosed as mitral valve prolapse by 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE),with or without ruptured chordae tendineae.RT 3D-TEE was performed for assessing the segment of prolapse and its complications before cardiopulmonary bypass and after heart resuscitation respectively.The echocardiographic results were compared with the surgical findings.Results The accuracy of RT 3D-TEE to identify segments with prolapse was significantly higher than that of 2D-TTE (91.4％ vs 82.9％,P =0.003).RT 3D-TEE was more accurate than 2D-TTE for identifying ruptured chordae tendineae,vegetation and thrombus since higher sensitivity,specificity and Youden index.Among all 35 patients,valvuloplasty was performed in 28 cases,whereas,only 7 cases underwent replacement of prosthetic valves.Three patients were benefited by accurate evaluation of therapeutic effect using RT 3D-TEE in time.ConclusionsIntraoperative RT 3D-TEE can be used to provide “ surgical view”,acquired adequate valuable information of mitral valve,and more reliable functional and anatomical assessment of the mitral valve components and its geometry.Suitable surgical intervention can be designed for improving outcomes of patients.

BACKGROUND:With the development of medical instruments, more and more traditional surgical operations are replaced by minimal y invasive surgeries. In minimal y invasive surgery, cutting and sealing tissue is a conventional procedure;however, due to the limitation of space and vision, the ordinary methods are not suitable for minimal y invasive surgery. OBJECTIVE:To develop high frequency electrosurgical generator that has a constant power output and ability for tissue cutting and closing. METHODS:In order to improve the efficiency of tissue cutting and sealing in surgical, a kind of high-frequency energy generator was developed for tissue cutting and sealing. The instrument consisted of switching power supply with adjustable amplitude, high-frequency power amplifier, impedance monitor and microcontrol er. The energy converter composed of switching power supply and high-frequency power amplifier converted the 220 V, 50 Hz utility powers to a kind of high-frequency energy with 450 kHz and applied on tissues. Impedance monitor would real-timely detect the electrical parameter impacting on tissue that was provide the amount of feedback to microcontrol er in order to complete constant power control and bioimpedance determination by the control er. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The experimental results indicated that the instrument could rapidly and stably provide high-frequency energy, and could detect the biological impedance in real-time, achieve constant power output through feedback control, and could cut and close the biological tissue efficiently.
