Objective To evaluate the relationship between relative perfusion rate assessed with power Doppler imaging (PDI) and microvessel density (MVD), as well as expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in bladder carcinoma. Methods The transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) blood flow signal of bladder carcinoma was preoperatively detected with color Doppler imaging in 45 patients, and the relative perfusion rates were obtained for analysis. MVD and the expression of VEGF of excised tumor were assessed immunohistochemically. Results There were correlation between relative perfusion rate and MVD, the expression of VEGF. MVD and the expression of VEGF were related to pathologic grade and the invasiveness of tumor tissues. The expression of VEGF in bladder carcinoma was positively correlated to the tumor interstitial vascular density. Conclusion Combination of PDI and immunohistochemical parameters is useful for evaluating the angiogensis of bladder carcinoma from a different point of view.

Objective To observe the development of Schistosoma japonicum after single sexual infection and double sexual infection respectively. Methods A single Oncomelania hupensis snail was infected by a single schistosome miracidium. The lar?va were induced and released from the snail after 60?day incubation at 26℃. The mice were infected by the larva(single sexual infection)and dissected 40 days after the infection. All the worms were collected and the sex of the larvae was determined by the sex of the adult worms. Then,the mice and rabbits were infected by single sex of larvae(single sexual infection)and double sex of larvae(double sexual infection)respectively. The mice and the rabbits were dissected 40 days after the infection. All the worms were collected and measured under a microscope. Results All the male or female worms were collected from the mice and rabbits after single sexual infection. There were three main forms of worms after dissection of double sexual infection of mice and rabbits:folded mature male and female,male or female. Few folded male and immature female were found. Only the double sexual larva infected mice or rabbits had schistosome eggs in the liver and the liver had typical schistosome egg nodules. The sin?gle sexual larva infected mice or rabbits had no schistosome eggs or schistosome egg nodules in the liver tissues. The single male larva could develop to worms with the testis,and with a little smaller size compared to the mature folded male,while the single sexual infection female worm could not develop to the mature stage with much thinner and smaller compared to the mature folded female. Conclusions The male or female worms from single sexual infection are smaller than those from double sexual infection (mature worms?folded male and female). So it is necessary to check single sex worms in vessels of intestinal mucosa thoroughly in the sentinel mice when no schistosome eggs were found in the liver.

Objective To explore the bronchoscopic features of endobronchial tuberculosis induced by lymphatic fistula and the efficacy of interventional treatment. Methods The data on 31 patients with endobronchial tuberculosis induced by lymphatic fistula who had received bronchoscopic diagnosis and treatment in our hospital during the period of January 2010 to June 2013 were reviewed. The bronchoscopic features , along with the frequency of interventional therapies and duration of the therapies , were retrospectively analyzed; and the efficacy of the therapies and the related complications were assessed. Rusults The endoscopic appearance showed: granuloma (19.4%), necrosis (51.6%), granuloma with necrosis (25.8%), and fistulous opening (3.2%). Dark gray matter or carbon deposition inside the lesions was the characteristics of endobronchial tuberculosis induced by lymphatic fistula. There were 76 orificium fistulae in 31 patients , mostly in the right side. The median frequency of treatment was five in patients with single orificium fistulae and the median treatment duration was 65 days; whereas the median frequency of treatment was nine in patients with multiple fistulae and the median treatment duration was 108 days. There were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05 for both comparisons). The effectiveness rate of treatment was 98.7%. The therapy-related complication was of a small amount of bleeding, with a rate of 2.1%. Conlusions Endobronchial tuberculosis induced by lymphatic fistula shows certain characteristics under bronchoscopic examination. Bronchoscopic clamping combined with infusions with antituberculosis agents is a safe, simple, effective therapeutic method.
