Purpose It is still undetermined about the application of regular ultrasound (US) combined with ultrasonic elastography (UE) in diagnosing superficial lymph nodes disease.Therefore our aim is to evaluate the value of US combined with UE in diagnosing superficial lymph nodes disease.Materials and Methods The ultrasonography and pathological data of 214 patients (with 266 superficial lymph nodes) were analyzed retrospectively.The US and UE data were compared with the pathologic results.Results The elastic classification of reactive hyperplastic and lymphomatous lymph nodes were no greater than grade 3,respectively;that of malignant metastatic lymph nodes was greater than grade 4.The accuracy of UE or US+UE was higher in diagnosing reactive hyperplastic lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes' nature compared with US (P＜0.05).The sensitivity and accuracy of US+UE in diagnosing malignant superficial lymph nodes were higher than those of US (90.13％ vs.72.37％;86.09％ vs.68.05％,P＜0.05).Compared with UE alone,those of US+UE were also higher (90.13％ vs.77.63％;86.09％ vs.72.56％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The accuracy of differential diagnosis of benign or malignant superficial lymph nodes can be improved by US+UE method.

Objective To investigate the intestinal absorption kinetics of breviscapine in rats.MethodsThe intestinal absorption in small intestine and colon of rats in situ was investigated using circular perfusion and HPLC methods.The in situ absorption of scutellarin in the small intestine was studied and the effects on the intestinal absorption were observed at the various concentrations and different pH values using the same methods.Results The results showed that there were significant differences in both absorptive percentage and absorption rate constant(ka)in the small intestine between the experimental groups of rats with and without bile duct being ligated.The absorption rate constants in small intestine and colon were(0.107 1?0.013 0)and(0.070 7?0.008 9)h-1,respectively.No saturation phenomenon occurred and ka was almost kept unchanged at different concentrations of breviscapine.The absorption of breviscapine was not influenced by pH values ranging from 6.0 to 7.4.Conclusion The results indicates that breviscapine is absorbed more in small intestine than in colon.The absorption of breviscapine complied with the passive diffusion mechanism and first order kinetics.In conclusion,these results suggest that breviscapine could be prepared in oral sustained-release dosage form.

0.05).But the P_ eff values were significantly increased in the presence of P-glycoportein(P-gp)inhibitor,verapamil or digoxin.CONCLUSION:Rhamnosylvitexin can be classified into high penetrating drug.Passive diffusion dominates the absorptive transport behavior of rhamnosylvitexin in HLF.There is not a preferential absorption zone in the intestine for rhamnosylvitexin.The absorption and secretion of rhamnosylvitexin in HLF are mediated by the efflux transport system,P-gp.

Objective To select the ultrasonic appearances which effect the benign and malignant of thyroid lesions,and to explore the establishment and applications of supersonic evaluation system for thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) classification.Methods The ultrasound images of 1 080 thyroid nodule cases were retrospectively analyzed by Logistic equation,and the ultrasonic appearances were screened to identify benign and malignant of thyroid lesions.All appearances were obtained weights.The TI-RADS classification analysis software was assigned,which was used to analyze 332 patients with thyroid diseases and to verify the diagnostic performance of the TI-RADS classification system.Results Five ultrasonic features were selected into the regression model,including aspect ratio (odds ratio [OR]=3.61),margins (OR=3.83),composition (OR=11.46),echogenicity (OR=14.12),microcalcification foci (OR =48.82).Using objective evaluation system for TI-RADS classification in ultrasound in diagnosing 332 cases,the area under the ROC curve was 0.91 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Relatively the weight and formation of malignant indicators should be more concern than the number of ultrasonic malignant thyroid lesions indicators.The objective evaluation system for TI-RADS classification in ultrasound has relatively high diagnosis capability which established by the methods of Logistic equation.

Objective To study the efficacy of immunization combination of pregnant women and infants in preventing intrauterine HBV infection. Methods One hundred and twenty six HBsAg positive pregnant women were divided into two groups randomly.In the combination group,126 cases were injected with hepatitis B immunoglobulin(HBIG) during pregnancy since the 28 th week of gestation and HBVac 20 ?g at 1、2、7 month combining HBIG 200 IU at 0、15 day was injected to their infants, while 90 cases pregnant women in control group were not injected with HBIG. The serum HBV IgM of pregnant women and infant were tested using ELISA and was followed up for one year. Results The incidence of intrauterine HBV infection and the rate of chronic HBV infection in the infants of combination group were significantly lower than that of the control group (19.51% vs 35.56%, 13.33% vs 3.97% respectively). The detection rate of anti HBs in newborns and protective anti HBs in 1 year were significantly higher in combination group than that in the control group (80.95% vs 0,96.03% vs 86.67%). Conclusion Combining therapy of pregnant women and infant may prevent intrauterine HBV infection effictively and increase the rate of success immunoprophylaxis significantly, and decrease the rate of chronic HBsAg infection.

Objective To observe dynamically the location and time of attachment and invasion of Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites to murine intestinal mucosa by chromogenic in situ hybridization targeting SAG2 mRNA. Methods Thirty 7- to 8-week-old BALB/c mice were randomly divided into experiment group(24 mice)and control group(6 mice). Each animal in the experiment group was given 2?104 tachyzoites of RH stain in 0.2 ml PBS by intragastric administration and that in the control group was given 0.2 ml PBS. Four mice in the experiment group and one in the control group were sacrificed at 15 min,30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h and 8 h after infection,respectively,and paraffin sections of duodenum,jejunum and ileum were prepared to perform the in situ hybridization with Dig-labeled oligonucleotide probe complementary to SAG2 mRNA of T. gondii. Results Tachyzoites were found on the striated border of small intestine epithelial cells (absorptive cells,goblet cells and endocrine cells),in or between two absorptive cells or in the lamina propria. At 15 min-2 h after infection,there was significant difference in the number of attachment on jejunum and ileum (P

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of cell differentiation agent Ⅱ (CDA-Ⅱ) on the differentiation of human acute mycloid leukemia (APL) HL-60 cells.Methods The cell morphology and differentiation was detected by Wright-Giemsa staining,the expression of cell surface differentiation antigen CD11b of HL-60 was detected by flow cytometry,the differentially expressed genes were screened by gene expression profile chip (NimbleGen).Results The result of Wright-Giemsa staining showed that CDA-Ⅱ induced HL-60 differentiation towards mature stages in a time-dependent manner.After treated with CDA-Ⅱ,the percentage of CD11b-positive HL-60 cells significantly increased in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The result of gene expression profiling indicated differentially expressed genes including 113 up-regulation genes and 140 down-regulation genes.The up-regulation expression genes involved in six pathways including mineral absorption,complement and coagulation cascades,down-regulation expression genes involved in nine pathways including pyrimidine metabolism,RNA polymerase,purine metabolism and so on.Conclusion CDA-Ⅱ can induce HL-60 differentiation and make gene differentially expressed.The data provide the feasibility of CDA-Ⅱ in differentiation induction therapy for APL.
