Objective To observed the effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in combination of submicrobubble on ablation of breast tumor VX2 in rabbits.Methods Submicrobubble was prepared,and the appearance,distribution,diameter,and zeta potential were measured.The rabbits were injected with the tumor tissue suspension in bilateral breast tissues.HIFU(150 W,120 W,5 s,3 s) combined with submicrobubble to damage rabbit breast VX2 tumors.The coagulation necrosis was assessed by HE staining.The grayscale changes of the target area before and after HIFU irradiation were recorded automatically by computer.Results The diameter of the submicrobubble was 498.9 nm on average.HE staining showed the area of coagulation necrosis was significantly larger in the HIFU + submicrobubble group than the HIFU + PBS group.The injury range of 150 W irradiation was larger than that of 120 W irradiation,given the same irradiation time.The injury range of 5 s irradiation was larger than that of 3 s irradiation,given the same irradiation strength.The gray scale change in the target area was significantly higher in the HIFU + submicrobubble group than the HIFU + PBS group.Conclusions The submicrobubble exhibited sound imaging performance,and it can be use in the ultrasound therapeutics in the future.

Objective To evaluate the effects of pretreatment with different doses of phosphocreatine on hepatic ischemia-repeffusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods.Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each):sham operation group (group S),hepatic I/R group (group I/R),and pretreatment with different doses of phosphocreatine groups (groups P1-3).Hepatic I/R was induced by 90 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the middle and left lobes of the liver followed by 4 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.Phosphocreatine 50,150 and 450 mg/kg were injected via the tail vein at 60 min before ischemia in groups P1-3,respectively.In groups S and I/R,the equal volume of normal saline was given instead.Blood samples were taken from the abdominal aorta at 4 h of reperfusion for determination of plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed and the livers were removed for determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (by ELISA),intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression (by immunohistochemistry),and cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and for microscopic examination (by electron microscopy).Results The MPO activity in liver tissues,plasma ALT and AST activities,TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations and the number of apoptotic cells were significantly higher in groups I/R and P1-3 than in group S,while lower in groups P1-3 than in group I/R (P < 0.05).The parameters mentioned above were decreasedin turn in groups P1-3 (P < 0.05).Conclusion Phosphocreatine pretreatment can attenuate the hepatic I/R injury in rats in a dose-dependent manner and inhibition of the inflammatory responses is involved in the mechanism.

Objective To study the image examination of renal injuries and discuss renal explorative indications so as to spare the kidney or nephron as much as possible and improve curative rate of diagnosis and treatment. Methods An analysis was done on 286 cases that included 231 cases with close injury, 54 with open injuries, one with iatrogenic injury and 91 with combined injuries. Of all, 212 cases were examined by B-ultrasonography, 163 by CT and 132 by intravenous urography(IVU) and 6 by digital subtraction angiography(DSA); 202 cases were treated with conservative treatment and 84 with operation. Results The diagnostic positive rates of IVU, B-ultrasonography and CT were 67.4%, 72.2% and 87.7%, respectively. Among the operation cases, 42 cases were treated by renal repair, 12 by partial nephrectomy and 30 by nephrectomy. The operation rate was 29.4% and the nephrectomy rate 35.5%. Interventional treatment of the kidney was carried out in three cases. Conclusions For renal injury cases, the first and most important step is to evaluate the injury condition so as to correctly determine whether an operation exploration is needed. The injury conditions and severity are mainly determined by the image examinations that change according to injury cause, injury type and clinical symptoms. Renal exploration or not, and the operation time exert great influence on renal reservation rate and complication rate.
