METHODS: The serum copper level(SCL),serum zinc level(SZL)and CZR were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry(AAS)in 135 patients with HD and 100 healthy individuals.RESULTS: The results showed that SCL and CZR were higher and SZL was lower in patients with HD than in healthy individuals ( P

ObjectiveTo discuss the characters and management of renal lymphangiectasia.MethodsThe clinical data of two cases of renal lymphangiectasia were reviewed. The first patient was a 37-year-old woman with the chief complaint of lumbago in the right flank for 8 days.B-ultrasound showed mixed echo in perinephric space. On CT, similar appearances of fluid collections were seen, but not conspicuous. Conservative treatment was taken for three weeks and the symptoms were relieved. Three month later the patient had right lumbago relapse. CT scan revealed a large amount of fluid collection under the capsule of the right kidney. Percutaneous drainage was carried out. Two months later B-ultrasound showed fluid collection in perinephric space and percutaneous drainage again the fluid was sent to pathology. The second case was a 32-year-old woman with the chief complaint of lumbago in the left flank for the past three years. Ultrasonography revealed hyperechoic surrounding the left kidney. CT scan showed a left perinephric collection of fluid attenuation and circumferentially draping around the kidney. Renal lymphangioma was diagnosed and the patient underwent surgery.ResultsNeedle aspiration of the perinephric fluid was carried out, and laboratory analysis showed most leucocytes were lymphocytes. The pathologic diagnosis of the first case was renal lymphangiectasia. There was no recurrence during follow - up of two months. The second case was diagnosed renal lymphangioma pathologically. Follow - up for nine years, revealed no relapse.ConclusionsUltrasonography and CT contributed to the diagnosis of renal lymphangiectasia. Needle aspiration bioposy and histology could confirm it. Treatment of asymptomatic cases is not required. When collections are very large and cause symptoms, percutaneous drainage may be carried out however there is a risk of relapse.

Objective To investigate whether the surgery resorting to computer-assisted navigation system (CANS) can enhance effects in managing unilateral old zygomatic complex (ZMC) fracture in comparison with conventional surgery.Methods Twenty-four patients with unilateral old ZMC fracture for which surgical correction was wanted were divided into study group (n =12,treated with navigational surgery) and control group (n =12,treated with traditional surgery) in the 1 ∶ 1 matched case-control study.Therapeutic effects of CANS were evaluated by postoperative CT measurement,subjective satisfaction questionnaire and clinical examination.Results According to postoperative three-dimensional CT measurement,the mean projection and width differentials of bilateral zygomatic bones were 1.58 mm and 1.47 mm in study group,3.58 mm and 3.63 mm in control group,with significant differences between groups.No complications occurred within three months of follow-up.Moreover,the patients in study group were all satisfied with the treatment,but two patients in control group desired further surgery to ameliorate zygomatic shape.Conclusion Surgery with application of CANS improves efficacy of treatment for unilateral old ZMC fracture.

Objective To detect human parvovirus B19(B19V)DNA in source plasma pools and coagulation factor products and determine its prevalence and the level of contamination .Methods A pair of primers and a probe selected from the highly conserved sequences encoding the non-structural protein(NS1)of B19 were designed and synthesized.With the primer-probe combination ,source plasma pools and four types of coagulation factor products were determined for B 19V DNA by TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR.Results One-hundred and sixteen from 195 (59.49%) source plasma pools contained B19 DNA and concentrations up to 1.35 ×1010 copies/ml were measured.High frequencies of contamination were detected in factor Ⅷ (29 of 31; 93.55%), thrombin (10 of 10; 100%), fibrinogen (6 of 7; 85.71%) and prothrombin complex (8 of 9;88.89%).Conclusion These data show that B19V is a common contaminator in Chinese source plasma pools and coagulation factor products .Thus,B19V screening in Chinese source plasma seems desirable and significant for the safety of plasma derivatives in China .

AIM:To clarify the relationship between serum copper/zinc ratio(CZR) and histopathological classification as well as prognosis of Hodgkin's disease (HD). METHODS:The serum copper level(SCL),serum zinc level(SZL)and CZR were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry(AAS)in 135 patients with HD and 100 healthy individuals.RESULTS:The results showed that SCL and CZR were higher and SZL was lower in patients with HD than in healthy individuals (P＜0.01). SCL and CZR were significantly higher in the patients with lymphocyte depleted type(LD)than mixed cellulal type(MC), SCL and CZR were higher in MC type than nodular sclerosis type(NS)and lymphocyte predominance type (LP)(P＜0.01). It was also found that with the development of the disease, the SCL and CZR elevated but SZL dropped. And with the alleviation of the disease, the SCL and CZR rose while SZL dropped. While the illness is relieved and the SCL and CZR markedly dropped and SCZ rose. SCL and CZR were strongly correlated with histopathologic type and clinical stage of tumor.CONCLUSION:SCL, SZL and CZR are parameters useful for clarifying histopathological classification, clinical stage and prognosis of HD.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of HE’s needling method (three ways for unblocking) in treating mild simple obesity due to dampness from spleen deficiency.Method Forty eligible subjects with mild simple obesity due to dampness from spleen deficiency were randomized into group A and group B, 20 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by mild unblocking method plus intensive unblocking method from HE’s needling method, and group B was by mild unblocking method plus warm unblocking method. The obesity-related indexes were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) were significantly changed after intervention in the treatment group (P<0.05). The body weight was significantly changed after treatment in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, there were no significant differences in comparing the obesity-related indexes (body weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-hip ratio) between the two groups (P>0.05). The total effective rate was 55.0% in the treatment group versus 10.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion HE’s needling method is effective in treating mild simple obesity due to dampness from spleen deficiency, and mild unblocking method plus intensive unblocking method can produce a more significant efficacy compared to mild unblocking method plus warm unblocking method.
