Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging 2010;(1):39-42
Purpose to explore a CT classflication of hepatic echinococcal cysts and its clinical application. Materials and Methods reviewed 85 patients who had underwent CT scan in our hospital from 2008-01~2009-12.The CT classification was made according to WHO classification and the CT appearances were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the lesions,there were 16 CL type,appeared as a unilocular round cyst without wall.15 CE1 type,appeared as a unilocular cyst with a smooth uniform wall.28 CE2 type,appeared as a fluid collection with septa (honeycomb sign),and 6 CE3 type,CT appeared as a fluid collection with a split wall,10 CE4 type,CT appeared as a fluid collection with a split wall (water-lily sign).36 CE5 type,CT appeared as a calcified mass.Conclusion CT classification according to WHO classification for cystic echinococcosis is using to differentiate it from other liver cystic lesions,such as simple cyst and abcess,and is essential when planning clinical treatment.
4.Current situation of and thoughts on the minimally invasive esophageal surgery
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2013;12(10):734-736
Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world.Surgical treatment is the first choice for the treatment of esophageal cancer because it could radically resect the tumor and significantly improve the patients'condition.Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) was rapidly developed because of its advantages of minimal invasion,small volume of blood loss,slight pain,low complication rate and quick recovery of patients.The extent of lymphadectomy and postoperative survival rate of MIE were comparable to those of traditional thoracotomy.MIE has become the treatment of choice for benign esophageal diseases and early esophageal cancer in some medical centers.However,debate still exists regarding the role of MIE in the treatment of esophageal cancer,particularly given the limitations in the widespread implementation of this technically challenging operation.This review summarized the current status of the use of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of esophageal cancer and some thoughts on the development of MIE were provoked.

Peritoneal macrophages from thioglycollate-treated C57BL/6 mice were separatedby centrifugation on Percoll discontinuous gradients.Macrophages were so separ-ated into four subpopulations and their tumor cytotoxicity and the effect of sodi-um selenite on different subsets were studied.There was no marked difference inphagocytic activity and Fc recepter activity among the four subpopulations.High-density macrophages activated by MAF were kighly cytostatic and cytolyticto tumor cells,while low-density macrophages were not Peritoneal injection of sodiumSelenite(lmg/kg)augmented macrophage-mediated cytotoxic activity by increasingtheir MAF responsiveness which occurred mainly in the low-density macrophages.sodium selenite did not affect macrophage maturation as the percentage of theperoxidasepositive macrophages remained unchanged,
8."Paying attention to lens regeneration and research of ""lens stem cell"" in mammal"
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(6):481-484
With the existence of capsules,lens regeneration occurs in some mammals after extracapsular lens extraction.It is usually thought that lens regenerates from resident lens epithelial cells (LECs) in the capsule.However,lens regeneration dose not mean simple redupilication of development,and transparency of the lens is affected by irregular growth,migration and transdifferention of the resident LECs.Previous studies mainly focus on the dysplasia of LECs,but update theory about lens regeneration is proposed to be associated with stem cells.Some views and suggestions in lens regeneration are concerned in current researches to better illuminate the mechanism and therapy of posterior capsular opacity.
