Objective To investigate the significance of using 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the complications of augmentation mammoplasty. Methods 21 cases were diagnosed by the 7.0～11.0 MHz high-frequency 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Dopplar ultrasonography, which were proved by the second operation. Results There were characteristic 2-dimonsional voice pictures in the implants folding, moving, oozing, and sclerosis of membrane, and the tissues around the implants had more or less color blood picture and Dopplar frequency expression. Conclusion Ultrasonography has great diagnostic value and clinical significance in the detection of complications after augmentation mammoplasty.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between th e expression of E-cadherin (E-CD) and differentiation, macroscopic features, l ymph node metastasis, and Dukes stages of colorectal carcinoma (CC). Me thods Frozen storage samples of 31 cases of CC and adjacent normal c olon mucous membrane epithelium were examined for E-CD expression by S-P immun ohistochemistry. Results High expression of E-CD was detec ted in normal colorectal mucous membrane epithelium (100%) while E-CD expressio n was lower (77.4%) in the tumor samples. E-CD expression was closely associate d with the differentiations,macroscopic features and lymph node metastasis, resp ectively ( P 0.05). Conclusion The examination of E -CD expression can be used as a valuable index to evaluate the biological behav ior and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma.

0.05). The 5-year survival rate of cyclinD1-posit ive patients was significantly lower than that of cyclinD1-negative patients ( P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safty of BaileMian capsulae on treatment of insomnia in aged people. Methods 40 aged people with insomnia were randomly divided into the research group (BaileMian capsule group,n= 20) and the control group (Zaorenanshen capsule group,n=20) treated for 14 days.The clinical effects were esti- mated with SDRS before and after 1 w and 2 w treatment.Results The total SDRS scores after treatments in both groups were significantly decreased comparing with scores before treatments respectively (P

Objective To determine the effect of peripheral nerve regeneration through NGF ·HAMM (Nerve growth factor and Human Ammion membrane Matrix) grafts. MethodsA 1.2 cm defect of the left sciatic nerve were made and then repaired randomly by means of autogenous nerve bridging (group N),NGF · HAMM microporous conduit bridging (group NH) or HAMM microporous conduit bridging (group H) in 60 adult Wistar rats. There were 20 animals in every group. At 1,2 and 3months post operation,the following items as qualitative histology,quatitative histomorphometry,electrophysiology and functional assessments of end-organ reconnection were determined. ResultsAt 2and 3 months post operation,Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) of the nerve repaired with HAMM were lower than that of the nerve repaired with autograft and NGF · HAMM. At 3 months post operation,there was no significant difference between NH group and N group in nerve conduction velocity (P>0. 05). At 2 and 3 months post operation,both NGF · HAMM conduit and nerve autograft groups showed more nerve fibers,bigger axon diameter and thicker meylin sheaths than H group.Conclution The combination of HAMM and NGF world enhance nerve regeneration and myeliogeny,as well as could cooperatively promote the functional recovery of injured nerves and limbs. Our results indicate that the NGF · HAMM microporous conduit is a promising tool for use as a nerve guide tube in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Malignant gliomas cells grow invasively with no clear boundary,and a complete resection surgery is very difficult,and the pathological type is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,so the overall treatment effect is not ideal,and this disease is very prone to local recurrence after treatment.The treatment of malignant glioma is mainly composed of surgical resection with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Other new treatments include targeted therapy,immune therapy,gene therapy and so on.

Objective To determine the content of icariin and flavonids in Epimedium koreanum Nakai of different place of production and different pharmaceutical genetic in Liaoning Province. Methods Icariin was used as the chemical reference substance to establish HPLC and ultraviolet spectrophotometry methods for content determination of icariin and total flavonoids. Results The content of icariin in leaves was from 0.197% to 0.347%,and in stem was from 0.043% to 0.050%. The content of total flavonids in leaves was from 6.68% to 8.85%,and in stem was from 1.3% to 2.7%. The calibration curves of icariin was in good linearity over the range of 0.3～1.8 ?g (r=0.999 9) and total flavonids was 0.5～3 ?g/mL (r=0.999 9). The average recovery of icariin was 99.43% (n=6,RSD=0.29%) and total flavonids was 100.38% (n=9,RSD= 1.60%). Conclusions The content of flavonids in Epimedium koreanum Nakai of different place of production and different pharmaceutical genetic has large difference,the content in leaves is far higher than in stem.

Objective To explore the assessment of precision, accuracy, and quality control(QC) procedures needed to satisfy the external quality assessment criteria with "operational process specifications" (OPSpecs) derived from an analytical quality-planning model. Methods The routine operating specifications were presented in the form of an OPSpecs chart, which described the operational limits for imprecision and inaccuracy when a desired level of quality assurance was provided by a specific QC procedure. Results OPSpecs charts could be used to compare the operational limits for different QC procedures and to select a QC procedure that was appropriate for the precision and accuracy of a specific measurement procedure. The inaccuracy and imprecision observed for a measurement procedure was plotted on the OPSpecs chart to define the current operating point, which was then compared with the operational limits of candidate QC procedures. Conclusion The general design approach is applicable in all instrument systems.

Objective To explore imaging features of the lateral atlanto-dental interval (LADI) of atlanto-axial joint and its value in the diagnosis of atlanto-axial joint dislocation/subluxation. Methods Two hurdred and forty healthy volunteers without atlanto-axial joint dysfunction and 32 patients with torticollis and/or functional impairment at atlanto-axial joint were enrolled into this study. All subjects were examined with multi-slice CT in both neutral and max rotation positions to the left/right. Clinical endpoints including VBLADI, variance range of the VBLADI and asymmetric conditions were evaluated. x2 test is used to evaluate the variance of incidence of bilateral LADI asymmetry in different age groups, Pearson-test(2-tailed) is used to evaluate the correlation between VBLADI and rotary function of atlanto-axial joint,precise test of fourfold table is used to compare normal group with patient groups. Results ( 1 ) In the normal control group: asymmetry of bilateral LADI were observed in 204 among 240 (85.00%) healthy volunteers including 60 youngsters( ＜ 15 years) and 180 adults( ≥ 15 years). The median and P95% of |VBLADI| were 0.850 mm,2.450 mm in the young ( ＜ 15 years) and 0.700 mm,2.051 mm in the adult(≥15 years),there were 2 and 10 volunteers whose |VBLADI| ≥P95% in the young and in the adult respectively. There was no correlation between VBLADI( -2.146 to 2.114 mm,Median 0.000 mm) and LA(22.949° to 44.649°, Median 34.500°), RA (25.284° to 45.334°, Median 35.300° ), VLRA ( - 11.643°to 8.623 °, median 0.000 ° ) respectively in normal people ( r = - 0.030, - 0.005,0.026, P ＞ 0.05 ). ( 2 ) In the study with 32 patients including 25 youngsters( ＜ 15 years) and 7 adults( ≥ 15 years). Seventeen of 32 had atlanto-axial lateral subdislocation (AALSD),in 16 youngsters( ＜ 15 years), the median of the |VBLADI| was 3.350 mm and 14 cases |VBLADI| ≥2.450 mm;1 adult patient(≥ 15 years) had |VBLADI| ≥ 2.051 mm; 7 of 32 patients had atlanto-axial rotatory dislocation (AARD) including 4 youngsters |VBLADI| ＜2.450 mm,median 1.200 mm,3 adults |VBLADI| ＜2.051 mm,all of the 7 patients with AARD had unilateral parasol LADI in neutral position;8 of 32 patients had atlanto-axial complicated dislocation(AACD) including 5 youngsters |VBLADI| ≥2.450 mm,3 adults |VBLADI| ≥2.051 mm. There are more cases whose |VBLADI| ≥P95% in group AALSD and group AACD than in abnormal group( P<0.01 ), but there is no difference between group AARD and normal group( P = 0.738 ).Conclusion The imaging finding of "asymmetry of bilateral LADI" may be either a physiological variation or a pathological condition, clinical manifestations and other imaging findings should be evaluated to make a diagnosis.
