Objective To evaluate the clinical value of infusing dehydrated alcohol on pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC). Methods Twenty one patients with D'Egidio type I PPC underwent CT or ultrasound (US) guided percutaneous catheter drainage, and CT or US were used to re-evaluate the efficacy of drainage. If no residual cavity was observed, the drainage tube was clamped for 3~7 d, and then the tube would be pulled out. Non-curative cases with catheter drainage for 21 days were given dehydrated alcohol 20 ml infusion. Results The curative rate by using percutaneous catheter drainage was 71.43% (15/21). Among the remaining 6 patients, the treatment was effective in 3 patients and ineffective in other 3 patients. 2 cases of non-infective mutli-antrum pancreatic pseudocyst, 1 case of infective single antrum and 3 cases of infective multi-antrum were included in the 6 non-curative cases, and all of them recovered completely 6~21 d after dehydrated alcohol infusion. No complication and recurrence were found during the 6~12 follow-up. Conclusions Percutaneous puncture and dehydrated alcohol infusion for infective or mufti-antrum pancreatic pseudocyst was effective and safe.

Objective To assess the value of coronal MPR of 64-slice spiral CT in investigation of the cause of bowel obstruction. Methods Thirty-eight patients with different kinds of bowel obstruction underwent 64-slice spiral CT examination, and the data of axial and coronal image were reconstructed. Then the images were analyzed respectively by 4 readers in group A and B. Doctors in one group viewed the axial images first, then the coronal images, while in the other group viewed the coronal images first and then the axial images. The CT findings were compared with the surgical and pathologic results. Results The accuracy of coronal MPR of 64-slice spiral CT for investigating the cause of bowel obstruction was similar to that of axial MPR (86.84% vs 89.47%), and both had high accuracy. Diagnostic accuracy and confidence of doctors were improved obviously with the combination of axial images and coronal images (both 94.73%). Conclusion Coronal MPR of 64-slice spiral CT has very high clinical application value for diagnosing bowel obstruction. Diagnostic accuracy and doctors' confidence are improved with the help of axial images.

Background Retinal microglia (RMG) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of retinal degenerative diseases,while chemokine CX3CL1 participates in the regulation of steady-state of microglia.It has been determined that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have a remarkable role to modulate the immune response and protect the central nervous system through the release of soluble factors in a paracrine fashion and further affect the functional behavior of cells.However,whether BMSCs are able to interact with RMG and activate related signaling pathway for the maintaining of homeostasis in the retina is still unclear.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction between BMSCs and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RMG in vitro,and dissect the effects of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling pathway on the biological behavior of BMSCs and RMG.Methods RMG was isolated from SD rats,cultured with mixed culture of retinal glial cells and purified by shaking.The cells were identified by detecting the expression of CD111b,Iba1 and glutamamine synthetase (GS) with indirect immunofluorescence assay.LPS (1 mg/ml,2 μl) was added in the medium for 24 hours to stimulate RMG,and then the cells were divided into LPS control group,BMSCs group (cocultured with BMSCs for 24 hours) and CB-BMSCs group (cocultured with CX3CL1-blocking-BMSCs for 24 hours).The cells without LPS stimulation served as the blank control group.The functions of RMG,including the release content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 β (IL-1β),the proliferation,phagocytosis,and migration of RMG were examined.Results RMG was successfully isolated and harvested from SD rats by using mixed culture of retinal glial cells and purified by shaking.CD11b and Iba1 showed the positive expression with the green fluorescence in the cells and GS was absent.The contents of TNF-αt in the cell supernatant were (2.55 ±0.97) ng/ml,(24.91 ±3.07) ng/ml,(20.38 ±2.97) ng/ml and (24.90 ± 1.88) ng/ml in the blank control group,LPS control group,BMSCs group and CB-BMSCs group,respectively,showing a significant difference among the groups (F=119.90,P<0.05).The contents of IL-1 β in the cell supernatant were (1.12±0.36) ng/ml,(10.40±2.76) ng/ml,(7.00± 1.75) ng/ml and (9.55 ± 1.11) ng/ml in the blank control group,LPS control group,BMSCs group and CB-BMSCs group,respectively,showing a significant difference among the groups(F =34.96,P<0.05).The secretory volume of TNF-α and IL-1 β were evidently lower in the BMSCs group than those in the LPS control group (both at P<0.05),and no significant differences were found in the secretory volume of TNF-α and IL-1β between CB-BMSCs group and LPS control group (both at P>0.05).The proliferative rate of RMG was lower in the BMSCs group than that in the LPS control group (P<0.05),while there was no statistical difference between BMSCs group and CB-BMSCs group (P>0.05).The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and the number of migrated RMG were considerably different among the four groups (F=70.55,15.49,both at P<0.05),and those in the BMSCs group were significantly increased in comparison with the LPS control group (both at P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between CB-BMSCs group and LPS control group (both at P>0.05).Conclusions BMSCs could suppress the proliferation of LPS-activated RMG.Moreover,BMSCs might inhibit proinflammatory cytokines releasing,enhance phagocytosis and migration capabilities of RMG via CX3CL1/CX3CR1 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum adiponectin level on morbidity of acute myocardial infarction, and to evaluate its impact on prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We prospectively recruited patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had underwent primary PCI. Their serum adiponectin levels were measured. The TIMI blood flow classification of culprit vessel was recorded after PCI. Echocardiography was performed in 24 h after PCI to evaluate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded including cardiac death, recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel reascularization, and readmission for heart failure after 18 months′ followed-up. Results 108 consecutive patients with STEMI and 38 control patients without coronary artery stenosis were recruited. The serum adiponectin level in STEMI group was significantly lower than that in control: (1 413.9 ± 218.8) ng/L vs.(1 756.3 ± 205.5) ng/L (P<0.01). STEMI patients with LVEF < 50% had lower serum adiponectin level compared with LVEF ≥50%: (1 334.1 ± 226.3) ng/L vs. (1 453.0 ± 213.8) ng/L , P<0.01. The serum adiponectin level in the TIMI 0-2 group after PCI was significantly lower than that in the TIMI 3 group:(1 350.7 ± 214.9) ng/L vs. (1 430.6 ± 218.5) ng/L, P < 0.01. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level was an independent predictor of STEMI ( OR=0.992, 95% CI 0.987-0.996, P<0.01). MACE occurred in 22 patients (20.4% ). Cox regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level remained an independent predictor of MACE ( OR=0.996, 95% CI 0.993-0.999, P < 0.01). Conclusions Lower serum adiponectin level is significantly associated with morbidity of STEMI and adverse prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified Stoppa approach in the surgical treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures.
Methods:
Between April 2014 and April 2017, a total of 14 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through the modified Stoppa approach at Department of Orthopaedics, Foshan Gaoming Hospital for pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures. They were 10 men and 4 women, with an average age of 36.4 years (from 23 to 57 years). The modified Stoppa approach was used exclusively in 4 cases, in combination with the iliac fossa approach in 3 ones, in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck approach in 4 ones and in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck and iliac fossa approaches in 3 ones. In all the patients, the pelvic reconstructive plate and screws and lag screws were used. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative fracture reduction, fracture union time, efficacy and complications were recorded.
Results:
The operation time averaged 170 min (from 110 to 330 min) and the intraoperative bleeding 420 mL (from 240 to 1 100 mL). There were no operative complications. By the Matta evaluation, the postoperative reduction was rated as excellent in the 14 pelvic fractures and 9 acetabular both-column fractures and as good in 5 acetabular both-column fractures. Of this series, 13 patients were followed up for an average of 19 months (from 12 to 29 months) and one was lost to the follow-up. The fractures got united after an average time of 3.4 months (from 2.7 to 4.6 months). Screw loosening was observed in one case and mild limitation to hip flexion in one. Follow-ups found no lateral ventral syndrome or femoral head necrosis. Their Harris hip scores at the last follow-up ranged from 70 to 94 points, averaging 84 points. The function of the affected hip was excellent in 6 cases, good in 5 and fair in 2.
Conclusion
The modified Stoppa approach may be used exclusively or in combination with other approaches to treat effectively the pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures, leading to good short-term clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between the pathological features and 64-multislice spiral computed tomography (64-MSCT) findings of pulmonary nodules in autopsies from patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), to investigate the optimal imaging method for the distribution of pulmonary nodules, and to provide data for the establishment of CT diagnostic criteria for CWP.
METHODSCadaveric lung specimens were collected from 7 CWP patients. All of them were men, aged 42∼77 years (mean, 60.00±13.00 years), and their dust exposure time was 5∼30 years (mean, 15.4±8.01 years). The cadaveric lung specimens were treated by aeration, sectioning, and immobilization and were then examined by coronary 64-MSCT. The primitive images were reconstructed into the maximumintensity projection (MIP) images (slice thickness: 3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm). The sensitivities of imaging methods with different slice thickness were evaluated based on the pathology and anatomy of local pulmonary nodules, and the correlation between pathological results and radiological findings was analyzed.
RESULTSThere were significant differences between the stages determined by pathological examination and high-kV chest radiography (before death) (χ(2) = 4.667, P < 0.05; kappa value = 0.167, P < 0.05). A total of 271 nodules were found in all pathological sections, including peribronchovascular nodules (27, 9.9%), centrilobular nodules (67, 24.6%), interlobular nodules (65, 24.3%), nodules within 5 mm from the pleura (45, 16.5%), pleural plaque-like nodules on the lateral chest wall (45, 16.5%), and nodules on the interlobar pleura (22, 8.1%). The likelihood ratio was the highest (0.981) between 5-mm MIP images and pathological results according to the chi-square test.
CONCLUSIONThe stage of pulmonary nodules determined by pathological examination is significantly different from that determined by high-kV chest radiography. The 5-mm MIP images of 64-MSCT provide a good reflection of the local pathology and anatomy of pulmonary nodules in CWP patients.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical application of bronchial washing fluid (BWF) in the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation in lung cancer patients during diagnostic bronchoscopic procedure.
Methods:
Patients with suspected lung cancer lesions but failed to be identified as malignancy by rapid on-site cytologic evaluation (ROSE) were enrolled. Performed blocker PCR for EGFR mutation detection using the supernatant and cell pellet of BWF samples and compared the detective results to the EGFR mutation status detected using histologic tumor samples.
Results:
A total of 85 BWF and paired histological samples were collected at Fudan University Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital from October 2016 to June 2017. There were 46 male and 39 female, with a mean age of 61 years (range 30-87 years). Thirty-one patients had benign diseases and 54 patients had primary lung cancer. Among these 54 lung cancer patients, the diagnoses were made basing on bronchoscopic biopsy samples in 31 patients. The detection rate of EGFR gene mutation in BWF samples was 100.0% concordant with that using histological samples.Another 23 cases whose bronchoscopic biopsy failed to establish malignant diagnoses were further identified by other sampling methods including surgical resection, lung biopsy, etc. A total of 15 patients were identified as EGFR mutated type by pathologic detection or clinically effect assessment, and BWF could detect 11 of them, accounting for 11/15 of all cases. Overall, BWF had achieved an overall accuracy of 95.3% (81/85) comparing to paired tumor histologic samples.
Conclusions
BWF is an effective complementary specimen to bronchoscopic biopsy samples in EGFR gene mutation detection in patients with suspected lung cancer lesion and negative biopsy results evaluated by ROSE during bronchoscopy.
