Objective To investigate the imaging findings of pelvic lipomatosis in 4 cases with clinical correlation.Methods The imaging data of 4 cases with pelvic lipomatosis proved clinically and pathologically were retrospectively analyzed.CT scan,intravenous urography(IVU)or cystography were performed in all cases.MRI was done in one case,barium enema in one case and urinary cystoscopy in 3 cases.Results Hyperlucent areas in the pelvis("transparent pelvis"sign)were demonstrated on plain X-ray film,CT,IVU and barium enema studies.IVU showed bilateral hydronephrosis,stenosis of lower segment of ureter and dilatation of proximal ureter.The bladder was elevated,simulating an inverted pear. Barium enema study revealed that the rectum and the sigmoid colon were pushed laterally and upwards. Three cases had associated with cystitis cystica by pathology.Conclusion The imaging findings of pelvic lipomatosis,together with clinical information,are helpful to establish the diagnosis.

From June 2007 to June 2009, 133 patients underwent esophageal resection, among them 64 cases received esophageal reconstruction with narrow gastric tube (NGT) and 69 received esophageal reconstruction with whole stomach (WS).The postoperative quality of life (QOL) in 6 months of both groups was investigated.The study found that there were 3 cases in WS group having leakage, while no one in NGT group, the weight loss, regurgitation and chest-stomach syndrome in NGT group were superior to those in WS group, there were no statistical differences in activities of daily life, emotional functions, food intake, dysphagia between two groups.The study indicates that the quality of life in NGT group is superior to that in WS group.

The aim of this study is to prepare self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of the mixture of paeonol (Pae) and borneol (Bor). Solubility test, ternary phase diagrams and simplex lattice method were employed to screen and optimize the formulation of the mixture of Pae and Bor-loaded SMEDDS. After formed into microemulsions, the particle diameter (PD) was determined and a TEM was employed to observe the microemulsions' morphology. The contents of Pae and Bor were determined by gas chromatography. As a result, while ethyl oleate (EO) as the oil phase, cremophor EL35 (EL35) as surfactant and Transcutol HP (HP) as cosurfactant, the range of the microemulsion on the ternary phase diagram was larger than other combinations. And at a ratio of 20:45:35, the microemulsions' PD was about 34 nm and the polydispersity index (PI) was about 0.2. There were 16% of Pae, 2% of Bor, 16% of EO, 37% of EL35 and 29% of HP in the prepared SMEDDS. The preparation process of the Pae and Bor-loaded SMEDDS based on Xingbi Fang is simple and feasible. This study provides a reference for the researches on the related traditional Chinese medicine and the related components.

Objective:To observe the inhibitory effect on ?-glucosidase of 10 kinds Chinese herbs and to screen the Chinese herbal medicines which have great inhibitory effect on ?-glycosidase.Methods:The ?-glucosidase was extracted from small intestine of rat.The amount of glucose was measured with produced from substrate of malt sugar.The inhibitory effect of 10 kinds of Chinese herbs on ?-glucosidase was observed by this enzyme reaction system.Then disposable gastric perfused malt sugar(2 g/kg) and the extraction screened at the same time,detected the levels of blood glucose after 60 min.The positive control group is acarbose(ACAR) group.Results:The three kinds Chinese herbs(Chishao,Shanzhuyu and Sangbaipi) showed very good inhibitory activities,and they showed obviously concentration-effect curve relationship.Among them,the inhibitary activity of Sangbaipi is stronger than Chishao and Shanzhuyu.While the dose of Sangbaipi reached 10mg/mL,the inhibition rate arrived 80%,which effect was equivalet to the dose of 1mg/ml acarbose.The results of postprandial blood glucose in vitro showed us:Sangbaipi,Chishao and Shanzhuyu can inhibit postprandial blood glucose levels in rats that have been disposable gastric perfused malt sugar after 60min(P0.05).Conclusion:The three kinds of Chinese herbs(Chishao,Shanzhuyu and Sangbaipi) can inhibit ?-glucosidase activity obviously in both vitro and vivo.

Objective To investigate the effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of ventricular outflow tract septum on the left ventricular structure and function in experimental canine.Methods Healthy experimental dogs were used for this study.RFA of the myocardium at ventricular outflow tract septum was performed.Before RFA,thoracic ultrasound examination was used to determine the width of left ventricular outflow tract,the systolic interventricular septum thickness,left ventricular ejection fraction,etc.The ultrasound examination was performed immediately after RFA to check the above indexes.Ultrasound examination was employed one and 3 months after RFA to record the above indexes of the survived dogs,and pathological examination was made.Results Among the 10 experimental dogs,successful RFA was achieved in 9,and one dog died of ventricular fibrillation.In one dog RFA was successfully accomplished,but it died of respiratory inhibition due to over-deep anesthesia.Immediate success rate of surgery was 80％,eight dogs survived to the scheduled follow-up time point.The width of left ventricular outflow tract and the systolic interventricular septum thickness determined immediately after RFA as well as one and three months after RFA in the survived dogs were significantly different from the preoperative data (P＜0.05).Histopathologically,striking microscopic changes could be observed.No obvious changes in ECG and blood pressure were seen.Conclusion The results of this study indicate that RFA of ventricular outflow tract septum in experimental dogs is safe and effective,which provides useful parameters and experimental basis for further animal experiments and clinical trials.

We report the intrauterine treatment of a case of fetal persistent supraventricular tachycardia complicated by heart failure. The ultrasound findings at 32 +1 weeks of gestation showed fetal tachycardia of 242 beats/min, fetal generalized edema, ascites, and visible pulsation spectrum in the intra-abdominal segment of the umbilical vein. Fetal cardiac arrhythmia persisted after maternal oral digoxin for 46 hours. In view of the continuous deterioration of the fetal condition with the persistent umbilical vein pulsation spectrum and worsening edema, fetal intramuscular injection of cedilanid under ultrasound guidance was performed, resulting in successful cardioversion. The pregnant woman gave birth to a baby girl by cesarean section due to premature rupture of membranes and oligohydramnios at 34 +6 weeks of gestation, with normal functions of heart and other organs. During a follow-up to 8 months, no obvious abnormalities were found.
