Objective To explore the influence and potential protective effects of non-specific panMetrix Metalloproteinases(MMPs) inhibitor Doxycycline on hyperoxic lung injury and lung development in neonatal rats.Methods Neonatal SD rats were divided into 4 groups randomly within 12 hours after birth:air with normal saline(AN),air with doxycycline(AD),hyperoxia with normal saline(ON),and hyperoxia with doxycycline group(OD).Hyperoxia groups(ON and OD) were exposed to ≥90% O2.Doxycycline 20 mg/kg or equal volume of 0.9% saline(Doxycycline concentration 2 mg/ml) was administered by gastric gavage,twice daily from day 1 to experimental day,but it didn't exceed 14 days.Stereological study was carried out at day 1,3,7,14 and 21 after birth.Results Enlarged mean alveolar area was noted both in hyperoxia and Doxycycline groups.OD group had larger star volume than ON group on day 14.Except ON group,all other groups had increased alveolar septum and the condition was worsened by hyperoxia with Doxycycline.The percentage of collagen in lung parenchymal tissue in ON group increased persistently.This increasing trend was stopped in OD group on day 14,and collagen percentage had no significantly difference between OD and AN groups on day 14 and 21.Conclusion Both hyperoxia and Doxycycline influence neonatal lung development,percentage of coUgen in lung parenchymai can be reduced by Doxycycline in hyperoxic lung injury.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of ilio-inguinal and Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach internal fixation and reduction in the treatment of acetabular fractures in a floppy lateral position.Methods A retrospective study was done on 31 patients treated from February 2005 to March 2009,including 15 patients with complex acetabular fractures treated with ilio-inguinal and K-L approach internal fixation and reduction in a floppy lateral position ( Group A) and 16 patients with complex acetabular fractures treated with anterior ilio-inguinal approach and posterior K-L approach internal fixation and successive reduction in a floppy lateral position Group B).Operation time,intra-operative blood loss,number of X-ray fluoroscopy times,degree of postoperative reduction,results of Merled' Aubigne and Postel scores as well as the rate of postoperative complications were recorded.Results All the patients were followed up for 15-27 months.In Groups A and B,the operation time was for ( 176 ± 17 ) minutes and ( 196 ± 23 ) minutes ( P ＜ 0.05 ),the intra-operative blood loss for ( 880 ± 16) ml and (874 ± 19) ml (P＞0.05),the number of X-ray fluoroscopy times for 6 ±2 and 14 ±6 respectively ( P ＜ 0.05 ).According to Mata analysis standard,the postoperative fracture reduction was anatomical in 11 patients (73％),good in three and poor in one in Group A; while the postoperative fracture reduction was anatomic in nine patients 56％ ),good in five and poor in two in Group B.The rate of anatomical reduction between the two groups had statistical difference (t =2.731,P ＜ 0.05 ).The modified Merled' Aubigne and Postel score system showed excellence rate of joint function of 93％ ( 14/15 ) in Group A and 75％ (12/16) in Group B,with statistical difference ( x2 =15.292,P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference in the aspect of postoperative complications between the two groups,such as heterotopic ossification,traumatic arthritis,avascular necrosis of the femoral head,nerve injury and so on.Conclusions In a floppy lateral position,combined ilio-inguinal and K-L approach internal fixation and reduction takes advantages of sufficient exposure,good reduction,strong fixation,short operation time and few complications in the treatment of certain complex acetabular fractures,while its long-term effects are worthy of further clinical researches.

Objective To investigate the effect of EGB on SOD, MDA of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats and its possible mechanisms. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (C group), high tidal ventilation group (H group) and EGB group (E group). The setting mechanical ventilation was VT=30 mL/kg, RR=40/min, I/E=1/3, PEEP=0 cmH2 O and FiO2=21%. The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) and serum were obtained for determination of the levels of SOD and MDA at the end of 4 h mechanical ventilation. The Lungs were removed, and the wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) and pulmonary pathologic changes were measured. Results As compared with C group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly increased in H group, but the levels of SOD were reduced in H group. As compared with H group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly decreased in E group, but the levels of SOD were increased in E group. Pulmonary pathologic changes were alleviated in E group comparing with H group. Conclusion EGB injection may have a protective role against hyperoxia and induced pulmonary damage in rats.

Purpose To investigate the CT gemstone spectral imaging features of gastric stromal tumors (GST), so as to discuss the value of CT gemstone spectral imaging in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of GST. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with GST proved pathologically were scanned by gemstone spectral imaging. Their GSI scanning image data and the related clinical data were retrospectively analyzed, and the quantitative analysis based on iodine content of the lesions in both arterial phase and portal phase was carried out. Results The GSI findings showed that the lesions were intra-luminal, extra-luminal or both intra-and extra-luminal soft tissue mass, the sizes were various, and they protruded either toward the inner side of stomach or the opposite or both. Among them, the diameter of 4 tumors in the low risk group ranged from 1 to 5 cm; in the intermediate risk group, 3 tumors had diameters from 1 to 5 cm, and 3 others were from 6 to 19 cm; in high-risk group, 18 tumors' diameter were between 6 to 9 cm, 2 were between 1 to 5 cm, and the rest 1 had multiple lesions in various sizes. Fifteen tumors occurred in gastric body, 10 occurred in gastric antrum, 4 were at the bottom of the stomach, and 1 had multifocal growth. Sixteen patients had internal and external growth of lesions, among whom 14 patients were at high risk; 10 patients' lesions were outside the cavity, including 6 patients at high risk and 1 patient at low risk; and 4 patients had lesions inside the cavity, including 3 patients at low risk. At the arterial phase the foci mildly strengthened, and they strengthened increasingly at the portal phase. The material value based water and iodine figure showed that material value based iodine of the lesions at both arterial phase and portal phase was higher than that in the normal gastric wall tissue, and the material value based iodine of the lesions at portal phase was higher than that at arterial phase (F=378.6 and 296.6, P<0.05). At arterial phase, the iodine content of the lesions in the mucosa was slightly higher than that in the submucosa and muscular layer (t= - 2.245, P<0.05). Conclusion CT gemstone spectral imaging can accurately show the external forms and internal changes of GST lesions and iodine content measurement can provide quantitative diagnostic information, therefore they can provide more effective information for clinical diagnosis.

Objective To analyze the CT and MRI performances of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma,to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods The CT and MRI performances of 16 patients with chromophobe cell renal carcinoma confirmed by post-operation pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 13 cases examined by CT,8 cases had homogeneous lesion including the homogeneous lesions density of 5 cases higher than that of normal renal parenchyma,and the other 5 cases had inhomogeneous density.After enhanced scan,the uneven essence ingredients were markedly enhanced in homogeneous density and inhomogeneous density cases,and the enhancement degree in arterial phase was lower than that of the renal cortex and higher than that of the renal medulla.Among 8 cases checked by MRI,2 cases had signal homogeneity with long T1 weighted imaging and long T2 weighted imaging signal,of which 5 cases appeared high signal in T1 weighted imaging flat lesions.The enhancement mode were similar with CT.In 5 patients examined by CT and MRI at the same time,their density,signal and the pattern strengthening were similar.Conclusions Chromophobe cell renal carcinoma is a rare malignant renal cell carcinoma,and CT and MRI can reflect the composition and hemodynamic changes.When homogeneity and high density or T1WI appeared high signal,disease was large and necrosis was less,and strengthening belt was appeared in lesions,it is value on diagnosis of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma.
