OBJECTIVETo observe the lower gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors CT virtual endoscopy and pathology, and to explore its possible mechanism.

METHODSSelect 80 patients suspected colon gastroenterology treat in the hospital gastroenterology department, randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 40 cases in experimental group were given CT virtual endoscopy and pathological check, the control group received conventional colonoscopy and pathological check, and all the results compared with the pathological results.

RESULTSCompared with the pathological test results, consistent rate with the experimental group reached 94.73%, the same rate was 92.85% in control group. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSCT virtual endoscopy can quickly image and draw detailed information, and can improve the sensitivity and specificity of cancer diagnosis greatly. Clinically, CT virtual endoscopy have the same function as colonoscopy, can replace colonoscopy, can be important complement of electronic colonoscopy by those who cannot tolerate electronic colonoscopy or have contraindications. Its value is worth taking a step forward in-depth study.

Photography of slit-lamp biomicroscopy combined with retro-illumination photography is the gold standard in cataract evaluation. However the application is limited due to its complexity and low efficiency. We introduce digital non-mydriatic fundus photography as a new method for cataract screening in patients with visual impairment,which might play an important role in screening low vision and blindness caused by cataract. Two distinguished benefits are found in this method including compatibility for tele-diagnosis,and integration with screening of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Cautions should be made on the photographs in which media opacity derived from other than cataract or low quality photos due to small pupils.

This paper reported the history of avian flu outbreaks in China from 1996 to 2006, directed the characteristics of avian influenza outbreaks in recent years. China is one of the biggest poultry producers in the world and many migratory birds go through China, China faces high risk of pandemic bird flu. The continuing occurrence of sporadic human cases indicates that the virus is continuing to circulate in birds in some parts of the country. In the fighting again avian flu virus, China has developed some possible practice on precautionary and control measure. China enhances international cooperation and scientific involvement in the prevention and control of the avian flu. The State Council and Ministry of Agriculture issued the laws and regulations on avian flu. Wild birds may have played a role in getting domestic fowl and human beings infected with bird flu. Poultry manure is considered to be another key source of the spread routes of H5N1 virus, but the bio - security processing in free range poultry farming and waste products is very poor disposition in China. Epidemic control at grassroots level still needs to be strengthened.

Objective To compare the incidence of C5 nerve root palsy after laminoplasty and laminectomy with internal fixation for treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM).Methods From January 2008 to August 2012,98 patients with MCSM were treated with laminoplasty (47 patients,group A) or laminectomy (51 patients,group B) with internal fixation.All the patients were followed up for 13-56(26.5 ± 7.9) months.In both groups,Cobb's method was applied to measure cervical lordotic angle,and Ishihara's method was conducted to measure cervical curvature index (CCI) before and after operation.The incidence of C5 nerveroot palsy was recorded and compared.Results The incidence of C5 nerve root palsy in group A was 2.1％ (1/47),while 21.6 ％ (11/51) in group B (x2 =5.430,P ＜ 0.05).The JOA scores in group A and group B before and after operation and improvement rate of JOA scores had no significant difference (P＞ 0.05).The cervical lordotic angle and CCI in group A and group B before and after operation had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The improvement rate of CCI between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).All of 11 patients with C5 nerve root palsy were group B 1,and other 40 patients were group B2.The improvement rate of CCI in group B1 was significantly higher than that in group B2 [(38.7 ± 18.3)％ vs.(22.1 ± 12.1)％](t =1.772,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with laminoplasty,laminectomy with internal fixation has a higher incidence of C5 nerve root palsy.The C5 nerve root palsy may be associated with postoperative increase of cervical lordosis angle.Moreover,tethering of the C5 root may he one of its important pathomechanisms.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics in young women with breast cancer.Methods Clinical data on 71 young breast cancer cases (under 35 years) out of a total 810 female cases during a period of 20 years were retrospectively analyzed. Result Delayed medical consultation was more often seen in young patients(56?4)?d vs (35?3)?d; u=2.33; P

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of use of tirofiban in percutaneous coronary interventional therapy (PCI) in elder patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods Sixty-five patients with acute STEMI were divided into two groups: 31 patients in the elderly group (≥70 years) and 34 patients in the younger group (0.05). Conclusion It is safe and effective to administer tirofiban to elderly patients with acute STEMI undergoing PCI.

Objective To explore the distributive changes of PIDD protein in HT29 cells stimulated by 5-fluorouracil(5-FU),and the influence of the PIDD protein interfered by small interference RNA(siRNA) on the drug resistance of HT29 cells in vitro.Methods siRNA was used to interfere the PIDD expression,and HT-29 cells were treated with 5-FU.Western blotting was employed to detect the PIDD expression before and after interference.The distribution of PIDD in nucleus and cytoplasm after 5-FU treatment was also detected.Changes in drug sensitivity of HT-29 cells to 5-FU were determined with MTT assay and IC50 values were evaluated.Results PIDD protein was expressed mainly in the cytoplasm before 5-FU stimulation,and it migraded into the nucleus after stimulation.Western blotting showed that the total PIDD expression and the expression both in cytoplasm and nuclei decreased significantly after RNA interference,and no increase of the total PIDD and that migrated into nucleus was found even after 5-FU stimulation.It was found that in the transfection group(cells were incubated 12h after being transfected with PIDD-360),normal group(cells without treatment) and control group(cells were incubated 12h after being transfected with negative transfection reagent),the IC50 values of cells treated with 5-FU were 0.23?0.06?g/ml,2.71?0.70?g/ml and 2.78?1.03?g/ml,respectively.The IC50 value declined significantly in transfection group compared with that of both the normal group and control group(P

Objective To compare the clinical results between living related and cadaveric donor renal transplantation in the same immunosuppressive regimen and HLA match. Methods Twelve cases of living related donor renal transplantation and 22 cases of cadaveric donor renal transplantation were analyzed retrospectively. The 1-, 3-year patient/graft survival rate, renal function and 1-year acute rejection rate were analyzed respectively.Results No renal function injury and surgical complications were found for living donors during the follow-up period. In living donor group and cadaveric donor group, 1-year acute rejection rate was 16.7 % and 22.7 % respectively (P 0.05). Renal function in living donor group was better than that in cadaveric donor group (P

The nature and functions of astrocytes (AS)， the pathological changes and roles of AS after spinal cord injury， the experimental methods of inhibiting AS proliferation and glial scar formation， and so on, were reviewed. AS beneficially affects repairing injured spinal cord at different periods of differentiation. However， adult AS secreting the factors formed the chemical glial barrier which severely affects nerve regeneration and hinders axon extension. Because of the static， activated and proliferative AS tending to coexist after spinal cord injury， and complex factors of barrier formation， the current approach taken by a single method is difficult to effectively control the AS proliferation and glial scar formation.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol pretreatment on the expression of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Seventy-two healthy male SD rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 18 each): sham operation group (group S), I/R group and propofol pretreatment group (P1 and P2). In group I/R, P1 and P2, focal cerebral I/R was induced by occlusion of middle cerebralartery for 2 h followed by 24 h of reperfusion. In group P1 and P2, intraperitioneal 0.5 % and 1% propofol 10 ml/kg were injected 30 rmin before ischemia respectively. In group I/R, normal saline 10 ml/kg was given instead of propofol 30 min before ischemia. Neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed after consciousness was recovered. 2% Evans blue (EB) 3 ml/kg was injected intravenously 1 h before the animals were sacrificed at 24 h of reperfusion. The brain tissues were taken for determination of the brain water content, EB content and expression of p-JNK, MMP-9 and AQP-4. Results Compared with group S, the NDS and content of water and EB were significantly increased and the expression of p-JNK, MMP-9 and AQP-4 was up-regulated in group I/R, P1 and P2(P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group I/R, the NDS and content of water and EB were significantly decreased and the expression of p-JNK, MMP-9 and AQP-4 was down-regulated in group P1 and P2 (P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group P1 , the expression of p-JNK and MMP-9 was down-regulated (P ＜ 0.05), but no significant difference was found in the NDS, water and EB content and the expression of AQP-4 in group P2 (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Propofol pretreatment can reduce focal cerebral I/R injury by inhibiting the activation of JNK signal pathway and up-regulation of MMP-9 and AQP-4 expression.
