Objective To investigate the value of optimizing the thoracic CT scanning dose on reducing radiation dose.Methods 50 patients were undergone CT scanning using CARE Dose 4D technique,the mAs of each slices,CT dose index of volume(CTDIvol) and images qualities were evaluated respectively.And the results were compared with traditional thoracic CT scanning(200mAs,15.31mGy).Results Compared with routine sequence,the exposure dose of singe-slice was decreased by 48.2% when the CARE Dose 4D technique was used(maximal decreasing 84%),CTDIvol was reduced about 32.98%(maximal reduction of 56.5%),there was statistically significant difference(P

Objective To explore the effect for nerve regeneration with immunosuppresssant FK506 a-round the cut after end-to-side neurorrhaphy of peripheral nerve. Methods There were 40 adult SD rats and were divided into two groups randomly by means. In the experiment group, the right peroneal nerve of SD rat was cut off,then an 1mm epineural window was created on the neighboring tibial nerve,the distal end of peroneal nerve was sutured to the windowed tibial nerve by means of end-to-side attachment, application of slow-releasing diaphragm which was implanted around the nerve anastomosis with FK506. In the contrast group,there were not the FK506 around the cut after end-to-side neurorrhaphy. The tibial and peroneal nerve trunks were labeled by being in jected with fast blue ( KB) and fluorescence golden ( FG) respectively. The labeled cells in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord were observed by fluorescence microscopy. Results There were a lot of FB labeled cells in the experiment group than in the contrast group in the DRG and spinal cord. Conclusion Immunosuppresssant FK506 could promote nerve regenerative speed and quality after end-to-side neurorrhaphy of peripheral nerve.

Objective: To analyze the diagnostic value of skeletal muscle biopsy in patients with rhabdomyolysis. Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 26 patients with rhabdomyolysis from January 2002 to December 2018 undergoing muscle biopsy were collected. Results: Eighteen males and 8 females were finally recruited with median age of 6-73 (37.3±19.6) years. The average time from onset to biopsy was 44 days (median course was 30 days). All patients had acute manifestations with muscle pain and/or weakness. Serum creatine kinase was between 1 648-92 660 U/L. Muscle biopsies showed nonspecific changes in 12 cases (a few with type 2 muscle fiber atrophy, slight deposition of lipid droplets), 10 cases with necrotizing myopathy (muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration). Toxic neurogenic damages were seen in 2 cases (type 1 and type 2 angular atrophic muscle fibers with group change), lipid storage disease in 1 case (lipid droplets deposit significantly) and idiopathic inflammatory myopathy in 1 case (muscle fiber necrosis and regeneration, with lymphocyte infiltration). The etiology of non-specific pathological changes included short-term strenuous exercise in 6 patients, poisoning in two, chronic kidney disease in one, viral infection in one, hypothyroidism in one and unknown reason in one. As to patients with necrotizing myopathy, seven were poisoning or drug-related, one with hyperthyroidism, two with unknown reason. Conclusions Among the numerous causes of rhabdomyolysis, exercise usually links nonspecific skeletal muscle changes and poisoning or drug-related disorders are commonly associated with necrotic myopathy. Rhabdomyolysis induced by primary myopathy is rare.
