Objective　To study the effects of super-selected internal iliac artery incubation in the treatment of advanced gynecological malignant tumors. Methods　36 cases of advanced gynecological malignant tumors (16 ovarian carcinoma, 13 cervical carcinoma, 3 vaginal carcinoma, 2 endometrial carcinoma, 1 choriocarcinoma and 1 leiomyosarcoma of uterus) were treated with this method for 48 times. 31 of these 48 times were embolized in bilateral iliac arteries, 13,2 and 1 cases the inferior mesenteric artery, the hepatic proper artery and the ovarian artery were embolized respectively. Results　4 cases showed complete response, 23 showed partial response, no change in 5 cases and in the rest 4 cases the disease was still in progress. The main side effects were slight gastro-intestinal reactions and embolism symptoms but no incubation complication occurred. Conclusion　The super-selected artery of incubation will give high local density of chemotherapeutic drugs and low concentration in general circulation. The effects are better in cervical, endometrial and vaginal carcinomas than in ovarian carcinoma.

Objective To quantitatively evaluate the influence of fluid attenuated inversion prepared recovery (FLAIR) on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and its clinical application value. Methods The data of DWI and FLAIR-DWI of 139 stroke were retrospectively reviewed. Paired t-test was used to analyze DWI (ADCCON ) and FLAIR-DWI (ADCFLAIR) values at varying time points from hyperacute to chronic stage. All of the lesions were further divided into cortex involved infarction and subcortical infarction. The ADCCON and ADCFLAIR values in the lesion sides and the contralateral sides were compared separately. Results The mean ADCCON values for lesions less than 6 hours, 7--12 hours, 13--24 hours, within 2 days, 3-4 days, 5-7 days and 8--14 days were not significantly different from those of the ADCFLAIR values(P >0.05) [ADCCON were (0.55±0.07), (0.50±0.09), (0.50±0. 13), (0.50 ± 0. 13), (0.62 ± 0. 14), ( 0. 60 ± 0. 12), (0. 72 ± 0. 20) × 10-3 mm2/s; ADCFLAIR were ( 0. 53 ± 0. 09 ), (0.49±0.06),(0.49±0.10),(0.48±0.08),(0.58±0. 14), (0.60±0.09),(0.73±0.15) × 10-3 mm2/s]. Lesions of 15 to 30 days [ (0. 95±0. 21 ) × 10-3 mm2/s and ( 1.02±0. 27) × 10-3 mm2/s for ADCFLAIR and ADCCON ] and the chronic stage ( >31 days) [ ADCFLAIR and ADCCON were (1.10 ± 0. 30) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.36±0. 41 ) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively], had a significantly lower ADCFLAIR than those of the ADCCON (P <0. 01 ). For patients with a symptom duration of less than 14 days, the mean ADCFLAIR values of the cortex involved and subcortical lesions were all not significantly different from the mean ADCCON (P > 0. 05 ) [ ADCCON were ( 0. 55 ± 0. 16 ), ( 0. 61 ± 0. 14 ) × 10-3 mm2/s ; ADCFLAIR were (0.53±0. 14), (0.60±0. 13) × 10-3 mm2/s]. For patients with a symptom duration of longer than 14 days, the mean ADCFLAIR values of the cortex involved and subeortical lesions were all significantly lower than those of the mean ADCCON values [ ( 1.16±0. 36) × 10-3 mm2/s vs. ( 1.35±0. 48) × 10-3 mm2/s for cortex involved lesions and (0. 97±0. 19) × 10-3 mm2/s vs. ( 1.15±0. 33) × 10-3 mm2/s for subcortical lesions ] (P < 0. 01 ). The ADC values of the normal contralateral sides were significantly decreased after the fluid inversion prepared pulse was conducted [ ADCFLAIR, ( 0. 76 ± 0. 05 ) × 10-3 mm2/s and ADCCON, (0. 82 ± 0. 11 ) × 10-3 mm2/s ] ( p < 0. 01 ). Conclusions The FLAIR significantly decrease the absolute ADC values of the ischemic lesions 14 days later after the stroke onset, which may be helpful in determining individual lesion age. Meanwhile, the application of FLAIR can have a more accurate relative ADC value by reducing the free fluid partial volume effect of the normal contralateral side, and hence enhance the ability of detecting the subtle ischemic pathophysiological changes.

Objective To evaluate the modification of C_(60) on the radiation effects of ~(60)Co-γ irradiation on zebrafish.Methods The adult and embryonic zebrafish were used as model organisms to examine the potential of C_(60) to elicit oxidative stress responses on the surviving rate,hatching rate and malformation occurrence,both upon exposure to light or in the dark.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage were examined as the possible underlying mechanism.Results 500 × 10~(-9) nano-C_(60) waterborne exposure could enhance the γ-irradiation effects by decreasing adult fish survival upon light exposure,which resulted in ROS and DNA damage increasing.The hatching rates were also inhibited with higher malformation,though dark exposure did not make any enhancement,except that the 5000× 10~(-9) C_(60) would inhibit larvae hatching and induced more malformation.Conclusions Waterborne nano-C_(60) exposure may enhance the radiation effects on zebrafish,ROS production and DNA damage increasing may be the underlying mechanism.

Objective To study the expression of fascin, an actin bundling protein associated with cell motility, and the relationship with ER negative breast carcinoma.Methods Comparasion of the expression of fascin, estrogen receptor (ER) and proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) determined by immunohistological method was made on 84 specimens of primary breast carcinomas. Results The diffuse staining of fascin in cancerous cell cytoplasm was noted. Only 3 of 53 breast carcinomas with ER positive showed fascin positive expression (5.67%); in contrast, 21 of 31 carcinomas with ER-negative showed positive expression(67.7 %) (P

Objective To explore the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features, diagnosis and treatment,prognosis of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach with neuroendocrine tumor.AFP, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, P53 were stained by immunohistochemistry and follow-up was conducted by telephone.Methods Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach with coexisting neuroendocrine tumor was identified in 13 cases from June 2004 to June 2014 in Ren Ji Hospital.Results Among the 13 cases of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisting with neuroendocrine tumor patients, there were 7 males and 6 females, with an median age of 62 years.Tumors located in the gastric cardia in 2 cases, in the gastric antrum in 8 cases and in the gastric body in 3 cases.Tumor ranged from 1-19 cm.The follow-up rate was 100％.The median overall survival rate was 12 months, two patients died of liver metastasis and one patient died of anastomotic recurrence.Serum AFP increased in 10 patients with hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisted with neuroendocrine tumor.The structure consisted of hepatoid cell differentiation and adenocarcinoma differentiation and neuroendocrine differentiation area by histological microscope examination.Immunohistochemical staining showed that tumor regional AFP, Syn, CgA, Ki-67, P53 were positive.Conclusions Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach coexisting with neuroendocrine tumor is very rare, it is made up of three structures : hepatoid cell differentiation, adenocarcinoma differentiation and neuroendocrine differentiation area.Diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical and histological examination.

Objective To analyze the correlation between seminal plasma α-glucosidase activity and zinc content with sperm morphology parameters in the patients with idiopathic oligozoospermia.Methods One hundred and fifty-two cases of idiopathic oligozoospermia were divided into five groups according to morphological analysis.The quality of semen and sperm morphology were analyzed by using computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA) and Diff-Quik staining.The rate method,PAN method and automatic biochemical analyzer were used to detect the seminal plasma α-glucosidase activity and zinc content.Results The seminal plasma α-glucosidase activity had statistically significant difference between 4 groups of normal sperm morphology 3%-4%,2%-3%,1%-2% and 0%-1% with normal sperm morphology ≥4% (Z=-2.199,-2.685,-2.827,-3.358,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference among the other groups (P>0.05);the seminal plasma zinc content had no statistical difference among various groups (P>0.05).The seminal plasma α-glucosidase activity had a extremely significant positive correlation with percentage of normal morphology sperms (P<0.05),a significant negative correlation with sperm deformity index(SDI) (P<0.05),and had no obvious correlation with sperm head,neck,middle piece,tail,excessive residual cytoplasma,multiple abnormal index(MAI) and teratozoospermia index(TZI) (P>0.05);there was no significant correlation between the zinc content in seminal plasma with the sperm morphological parameters (P>0.05).Conclusion The seminal plasma α-glucosidase activity in idiopathic oligozoospermia patients with abnormal percentage of normal sperm mophology is significantly lower than that in the patients with normal sperm morphology;seminal plasma α glucosidase activity has significantly positive correlation with the percentage of normal mophology sperms,has a negative correlation with SDI,which may be conducive to in vitro fertilization.

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of extraosseous findings on integrated CT images of routine SPECT/CT bone imaging and its clinical incremental values. Methods A total of 843 patients (470 males, 373 females, age range: 26-92 years) who underwent SPECT/CT bone imaging during May 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in this retrospective study. A modified C-RADS was used to classify the extraosseous findings to E1, E2, E3 and E4. χ2 test was used for data analysis. Results The CT images in 78.6%(663/843) of patients were normal or with no additional clinical significance (E1 and E2), and those in 21.4%(180/843) of patients might need further assessment (E3 and E4). The rate of E4 extraosseous findings in patients with malignancy was higher than that in patients without malignancy: 9.5%(59/622) vs 5.0%(11/221); χ2=4.352, P<0.05. There was no significant difference of the rate between genders: 8.5%(40/470) in males vs 8.0%(30/373) in females; χ2=0.510, P>0.05. With age increasing, the prevalence of E4 finding increased and the rate was the highest in the patients over 80 years old (125%, 16/128). Seventy patients had E4 findings and chest masses and nodules were the most common, followed by the abdominal or pelvis lymph node enlargements. Conclusions Potentially important extraosseous findings are common on SPECT/CT. Systematic reviewing CT images and communicating the important unexpected findings to clinical physicians could enhance its clinical incremental values.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of MUC1,MUC2,MUC4 and MUC5AC in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDA).Methods To analyze the expression profiles of MUC1,MUC2,MUC4 and MUC5AC in PDA(n=26),chronic pancreatitis(CP,n=4),normal pancreas(n=16)and intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm(IPMN)(n=2),solid-pseudo-papillary tumor of pancreas(SPT)(n=4),serous cystic neoplasm(SCN)(n=1)using immunohistochemistry.Results Positive staining with MUC1 Was exclusively found in normal pancreas and CP tissues(100%);the expression of MUC1,MUC4 and MUCSAC in PDA was 100%,88.5%(23/26)and 76.9%(20/26)in PDA tissue;MUC2 and MUC5AC were expressed in 2 samples of IPMN;none of the four mucins were expressed in Sfrr and SCN.There was no association between the expression of MUC4,MUC5AC and the clinicopathologic parameters in PDA(P＞0.05).Conclusions Multiple mucins were expressed in PDA.Measurement of the mucin profile including all 4 mueins(MUC1,MUC2,MUC4,and MUC5AC)may be helpful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PDA.

Objective To examine the recurrent ischemic stroke(RIS)in hospitalized patients predicted by Essen Stroke Risk Score(ESRS)and investigate the effect of intensive antiplatelet therapy in patients with high risk of RIS. Methods Retrospective analysis of patients with acute noncardioembolic ischemic stroke consecutively admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH)during 2001-2008. All 1008 patients were included in this study, 377 hospitalized in 2001-2002, 315 in 2005 and 316 in 2008. High risk of RIS was defined as ESRS ≥3. The average ESRS score in three groups and percentage of patients with high risk of RIS in each group were calculated. Risk of RIS was evaluated by comparing the average ESRS score in these three groups. Patients with high risk and taking clopidogrel treatment were also evaluated. Results Average ESRS score was 2. 67 ± 1.47,3.55 ± 1.40 and 3.93 ± 1.48(F= 150. 85,P=0.000)in groups of patients hospitalized in 2001-2002, 2005 and 2008 respectively. A significant difference was shown in percentage of high risk patients with ESRS ≥3 in three groups: as 51.64% in 2001-2002,77. 19% in 2005 and 85. 45% in 2008(X2=98.30,P=0. 000),showing a trend of increasing risk of RIS. Except for patients age, rates of having the risk factors in patients increased significantly, including hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, myocardial diseases, smoking,vascular disease and stroke history. Clopidogrel usage has been increasing to 25.63% in 2008, but was far behind high ratio of high risk RIS patients(85.45%). Conclusions This retrospective study showd an increasing trend in RIS risk during 2001-2008. Identifying high risk patients and applying intensified antiplatelet therapy might play an important role in reducing the risk of RIS.

Objective Percheron artery is an uncommon anatomic variant. Percheron artery infarction with unilateral embryonic posterior cerebral artery ( PCA ) was rarely reported.The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical and imaging patterns of Percheron artery infarction with the unilateral embryonic PCA for early diagnosis and treatment.MethodsClinical and imaging data of 2 patients with Percheron artery infarction were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsTwo patients presented acute coma and one had paroxysmal blurred before coma.On neurological examinations,one patient had vertical gaze palsy besides two were unconsciousness. MRI showed symmetrical high signal intensity on diffusion weighed imaging (DWI)in bilateral paramedian thalami in two patients and a distinct pattern of V-shaped hyperintensity on DWI andFLAIR was present on the midbrain in one patient. Digital subtraction angiography and magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated unilateral embryonic PCA in two patients.ConclusionsThe classical clinical symptoms,symmetrical high signal in bilateral paramedian thalami and V-shaped sign in midbrain on DWI can improve recognition,evaluation and management of Percheron artery infarction.The unilateral embryonic PCA may be underlying risk factor of Percheron artery infarction.
