Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),a commonly used imaging technique,has been extensively investigated in lung cancer diagnosis and staging.Many studies have demonstrated that MRI can be used for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules and for the screening of lung cancer; it also has important value in TNM staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),with equivalent sensitivity and specificity to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET-CT,which suggests that MRI can be used as an alternative imaging modality in noninvasive diagnosis and staging of NSCLC.

Objective:To evaluate the etiology,elinic characteristics,diagnosis and treatments of spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in children. Methods:The clinical data of eight children with spontaneous perforation of the bile duct between 1998 -2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results:5 of 8 cases were diagnosed bile duct perforativn before operation,all the patients recovered favorably after T-tube and pelvic drainage. 3 children complicated with choledochal cyst were cured afterⅡstage radical operation. Conclusions:the etiology of spontaneous perforation of the bile duct in children is unclear, panereaticobiliary confluence malfunction (PBCM) maybe the main reason. Peritoneocentesis is very important to the diagnosis, which is difficult in child preoperatively. The effective surgical treatments are T-tube and pelvic drainage. The children complicated with PBCM needⅡstage radical operation,and long term follow up are necessary for the children present with spontaneous perforation of the bile duct without PBCM.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound on the ultrastructure and expression of P-gp of Neuroblastoma cell in order to discuss the mechanisms of ultrasound affecting the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of SK-N-SH cell. Methods:The SK-N-SH cells were divided into the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group,the cell suspensions were exposed to ultrasound irradiation. In the control group,the cell suspensions were exposed to sham irradiation . The changes of ultrastructure of tumor cells were observed by scanning electron microscope and the expression of P-gp in two groups were detected. Results:(1) In the pictures took by scanning electron microscope,we found that: the configuration of tumor cell changed and there were some holes of different diameters on the cell membrane and the numbers of microvillus reduced or disappeared after ultrasound irradiation.(2) The result of immunocytochemisty showed the expression rate of P-gp in SK-N-SH cells in the control group was 56.23%?9.86% vs 34.86%?6.19% in the experimental group (P

Meckel′s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Most ca-ses are asymptomatic,while it can be symptomatic when complications happened,its complications often expressed as hematochezia,abdominal pain,vomit,fever,and so on. When signs or symptoms arise from a Meckel′s diverticulum, morbidity and mortality will increase. So make a definite diagnosis of the diverticulum play an important role in the treatment of Meckel′s diverticulum. In this essay,now illustrate the meaning of imaging examination about the diagnosis of Meckel′s diverticulum,wish to make a diagnosis as soon as possible.

After operation, all of them were affected by knee flexion dysfunction and foot drop to varied extents, which were improved satisfactorily after systematic training. Conclusions The systematic and progressive training can prevent knee flexion dysfunction and foot drop. Careful observation and effective nursing play an important role in the treatment of formaral angulation deformity.

Objective To study the ultrasonic characteristics of fetal cutaneous hemangioma and the association with perinatal outcomes.Methods Five fetuses with cutaneous hemangioma were detected by gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound,compared with the result of pathology and hematology examinations after birth.Results Of the 5 cases diagnosed by ultrasound,3 had arteriovenous fistulas.In these 3 cases two fetuses developed high-output cardiac failure,and one developed cardiac insufficiency and thrombocytopenia.Finally one fetus was induced,one fetus died in the uterus and one neonate survived.The other two fetuses who had small tumors diagnosed by ultrasound did not develop any perinatal complications, and the neonates had favourable prognosis.Conclusions Massive hemangiomas are frequently associated with life-threatening complications such as high-output heart failure,thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy(Kasabach-Merritt syndrome).

Objective:To establish a SPME-HPLC method for the determination of strychnine and brucine in Stryehnos nux-vomiea Linn. Methods:A novel capillary microtube monolithic column coupled with HPLC was prepared for the selective solid-phase microextraction of strychnine and brucine in Stryehnos nux-vomiea Linn. A Hypersil ODS column(150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm)was used and the mobile phase was acetonitrile- 0. 01 mol·L -1 sodium heptanesulfonate mixed with the same quantity of 0. 02 mol · L -1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate(adjusting pH to 2. 8 with 10% phosphoric acid)(21 ∶79). The detection wavelength was 260 nm,the sample size was 20 μl,and the column temperature was 25℃ . Results:The linear range of strychnine was 1. 2-90. 0μg·ml -1(r = 0. 999 8)and that of brucine was 1. 0-75. 0μg·ml -1(r = 0. 999 6). The average recovery was 100. 05%(RSD = 0. 58% ,n = 6)for strychnine and 99. 98%(RSD = 0. 27% ,n = 6)for brucine. Conclusion:The method is accurate and highly efficient,which can be used for the determination of strychnine and brucine in Stryehnos nux-vomiea Linn.

Objective To study the correlation between hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat with IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells.Methods Ninety patients with HFMD were randomly selected, dividing into lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat, 30 cases for each syndrome. IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells were detected, and the distribution of above indicators in the three syndromes were analyzed.Results Levels of IL-6, PCT and CRP in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat were significantly higher than those in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, with statistical significance (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in absolute value counting of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells among the three syndromes (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD3+ cells in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.01) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.05); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD4+ cells syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.05) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentages of CD8+ and NK cells in the three syndromes (P<0.01).Conclusion Proinflammatory cytokines, proinflammatory markers, and T cell sub-group related to HFMD in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat are not only correlative with morbidity, but also with the severity of diseases and prognosis, which can relatively effectively evaluate the state of diseases and judge prognosis.

The symptoms of the patients included alien hand sign , abnormal involuntary movements, intermanual conflict of upper limbs, and so on. And the patients accompanied with emotional and cognitive changes. Two of them were improved in different degrees after treatment. Conclusion AHS was a complex disease. The diagnosis of this syndrome was based on the advanced neuroimaging. There was still no well established treatment for AHS.

Objective To investigate the effects of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum on serum markers of liver fibrosis in cholesterol-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in rabbits. Methods Forty adult male white rabbits were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model group, a treatment group and a simvastatin group, with 10 rabbits in each group. NAFLD was induced with a high-cholesterol diet. After modeling, the rabbits in the treatment group were intragastrically administrated with Gynostemma Pentaphyllum 5 mg/(kg?d), the simvastatin group with simvastatin 5 mg/(kg?d), and the model and normal control groups with the equal volume of distilled water for 9 weeks. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), the serum inflammatory maker C-reactive protein (CRP), the serum markers of liver fibrosis such as hyaluronic acid and laminin (LN), and the TG level in the liver tissue were detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, the serum levels of TC (60.50 ± 9.77 mg/L vs.1.30 ± 0.44 mg/L), TG (1.72 ± 0.61 mmol/L vs. 0.85 ± 0.39 mmol/L), CRP (256.79 ± 30.78 mg/L vs. 8.71 ± 1.41 mg/L), HA (798.8 ± 69.4 ng/ml vs. 121.2 ± 6.8 ng/ml),LN (964.8 ± 62.8 ng/ml vs. 142.4 ± 12.2 ng/ml) in the model group were increased significantly (all P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of TC (36.44 ± 6.57 mmol/L vs. 60.50 ± 9.77 mmol/L), TG (1.31 ± 0.39 mmol/L vs. 1.72 ± 0.61 mmol/L), CRP (68.77 ± 10.78 mg/L vs. 256.79 ± 30.78 mg/L), HA (420.8 ± 60.2 ng/ml vs. 798.8 ± 69.4 ng/ml), LN (449.8 ± 56.6 ng/ml vs. 964.8 ± 62.8 ng/ml) and the TG level in the liver tissue (0.52 ± 0.10 mmol/L vs. 0.77 ± 0.08 mmol/L) in the treatment group were decreased significantly (all P<0.01). The TG level in the liver tissue in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the simvastatin group (0.52 ± 0.10 mmol/L vs. 0.59 ± 0.09 mmol/L;P<0.05). There were no significant difference in the serum levels of TC, TG,CRP,HA and LN between the treatment group and the simvastatin group (all P>0.05). Conclusions Gynostemma Pentaphyllum may regulate lipid metabolism, alleviate inflammation, and decrease serum markers of liver fibrosis, and might protect against liver fibrosis in rabbits with NAFLD.
