Ultrasound,MRI and mammography play significant roles in diagnosis,staging and follow-up of patients with breast cancer.With the development of individualized treatment of breast cancer,the molecular classification of breast cancer has vital reference value for treatment protocols.The requirements of medical imaging evolve from detecting breast cancer by morphological characteristics to making more accurate diagnosis using functional imaging for breast cancer.Correlations between molecular subtypes and ultrasonic,mammographic and MRI features of breast cancer attract broad attention.The correlation of molecular subtypes with uhrasound,MRI and mammography features in breast cancer patients were reviewed in this article.

Objective To establish a pre-column derivatization-high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method for the determination of free formaldehyde in Sabin strain inactivated poliovirus vaccine(IPV)(Vero cells), validate and apply the method, so as to provide a new method for the determination of free formaldehyde in vaccines.Methods The sample was derivatized with 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and loaded onto a C18 chromatographic column(5 μm, 120 ?, 4. 6 mm ×250 mm). The detection wavelength, mobile phase ratio, flow rate, derivatization time, temperature, buffer solution, and derivatization container were optimized for the separation conditions. The specificity, linearity, repeatability, accuracy, limit of detection(LOD), limit of quantitation(LOQ) and robustness of the method were verified. The content of free formaldehyde in 20 batches of IPV(Vero cells) was detected by using the optimized method.Results Chromatographic conditions: acetonitrile and water in a 70∶30 volume ratio as mobile phase, flow rate 0. 6 mL/min, determination at a wavelength of 352 nm.Derivatization conditions: 0. 5 mL of acetonitrile solution containing 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 0. 25 mL of pH 5. 0buffer were added, followed by a 20 min incubation in 60 ℃ water bath. This chromatographic separation conditions effectively separated 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and formaldehyde derivatives, and the acetaldehyde had no effect on the determination results. In the range of 0. 05-100 μg/mL, formaldehyde standard concentration exhibited a good linear relationship with the peak area, with the r value of 0. 999 9. The relative standard deviations(RSDs) of six test results in the repeatability test was 0. 36%. The recovery rates of formaldehyde content in nine samples were between 102. 0% and 107. 0%. The LOD and LOQ were 0. 025 and 0. 05 μg/mL, respectively. The sample remained stable for 48 h after derivation, showing good robustness. The results of the same batch of samples had good repeatability, and the formaldehyde content was between 4. 5-9. 9 μg/dose.Conclusion The established method has the advantages of wide measurement range, good linearity and high accuracy, and can accurately quantify free formaldehyde in Sabin strain IPV(Vero cells), which can be used as an auxiliary detection method for free formaldehyde content in vaccine products, and is of great significance to the lot release and quality supervision for vaccines.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical curative effects of gluteal muscle contracture release combined with insertion of gluteus maximus tendo-chilles lengthening with Z-shaped in treating severe gluteal muscles contracture.

METHODSFrom 2006 May to 2011 May, 20 patients (35 sides) with severe gluteal muscle contracture were collected, including 12 males and 8 females, aged from 8 to 34 years old with an average of 13 years old; the courses of disease ranged from 3 to 21 years. All patients manifested abnormal gait at different degree, knees close together cannot squat,positive syndrome of Ober, positive test of alice leg. Gluteus contracture fascia release were performed firstly in operation, then insertion of tendo-chilles lengthening with Z-shaped were carried out. Preoperative and postoperative gait, and knee flexion hip extensor squat test, cross leg test, adduction and internal rotary activity of hip joint, stretch strength and motor ability after hip abduction were observed and compared.

RESULTSTwenty patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years. Gluteus maximus were released thoroughly, and snapping hip was disappeared, Ober syndrome were negative. There was significant differences in knee flexion hip extensor squat test, adduction and internal rotary activity of hip joint,stretch before and after operation (P<0.01). Gluteus muscle strength was protected,stretch strength and motor ability of hip joint were recovered well. Among them,31 cases got excellent results and 4 good.

CONCLUSIONFor severe gluteal muscles contracture,insertion of gluteus maximus tendo-chilles lengthening with Z-shaped performed after gluteus contracture fascia release could release gluteal muscle contracture to the greatest extent and obtain postoperative curative effect without resection of normal hip muscle fibers and destroy joint capsule.

Objective To investigate the effect of thalidomide and As_2O_3 to the secretion of VEGF of the cell of ANLL and study if there is coorperation in thalidomide and As_2O_3.Methods From October 2001 to February 2003,23 patients with ANLL were analyzed.Heparinized marrow was taken,then it was putt into Ficoll-isopaque solution to be purified for MNC,which was cultured in the RPMI 1 640 medium,placed in 5% CO_2 saturation and 37℃ to proliferation.Choosing the cells in logarithm growth phase,adding cultural solution to abstaining the cellular density of 2?10~9/L and then putting it into 24-well plates.There are 4 groups :contrast group,thalidomide(300 ?g?mL~ -1 )group,As_2O_3(25 ?mol/L)group,and thalidomide(300 ?g?mL~ -1 )andAs_2O_3(25 ?mol/L)group,cultured for 72 hours.Examine the concentration of VEGF in upper liquid with ELISA method.Results The concentration of VEGF in upper liquid of 4 groups were respectively(1 582.67?281.51)ng/L、(1 206.29?264.87)ng/L、(941.72?236.34)ng/L、(639.12?211.98)ng/L.There were statisticd difference(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of ulinastatin on proinflamatory cytokines and oxygen free radical during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods Eighteen ASA Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients with end-stage liverⅣ diseases, undergoing OLT were randomly divided into two groups: (1) ulinastatin group received intravenous infusion of ulinastatin 2? 105 IU in 100 normal saline after skin incision and every 4 hours thereafter (group U n = 9); control group received same amount of normal saline instead of ulinastatin (group C n = 9). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1-0.2 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 5 ?g?kg-1 and pipecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and pipecuronium combined with epidural anesthesia(T8.9). The patients were mechanically ventilated with 100% O2 and PETCO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg during operation. Swan-ganz catheter was inserted via right internal jugular or subclavian vein after induction of anesthesia. Cardiac output, mixed venous oxygen saturation and central venous temperature were continuously monitored with continuous cardiac output monitor (Baxter, Vigilance). ECG,CVP,SpO2 and PETCO2 were also continuously monitored during operation. Radial artery was cannulated for continuous direct blood pressure monitoring. Blood samples were taken before skin incision (T0), 120 min after skin incision (T1), 30 min after liver was removed ( anhepatic phase) (T2) , 5 min and 60 min after reperfusion of the graft (T3 , T4) and at the end of operation (T5 ) for determination of plasma IL-6, IL-8, TNF-? and MDA concentration. Body temperature was maintained above 35.5℃ during operation. Venovenous bypass was performed during anhepatic phase. Results (1) In group C plasma IL-6 and Ⅱ-8 concentrations were significantly increased from T1-5 during operation as compared with the baseline values (T0), whereas plasma levels of TNF-? and MDA did not change significantly before and during anhepatic phase (T1 , 2) but were significantly increased during neohepatic phase and at the end of surgery (T3 ,45) as compared with the baseline values (T0).(2) In group U plasma IL-6, IL-8, TNF-? and MDA concentrations were not significantly increased during operation, except that plasma IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were significantly higher at T3 (5 min after reperfusion of the graft) than the baseline values. Conclusion Ulinastatin inhibits release of proinflammatory cytokines and reduces production of oxygen free radicals during OLT.
