Objective To describe the sonographic features of abdominal wall endometriosis(AWE).Methods 105 consecutive women with proven pathological endometriosis of the abdominal wall were retrospectively recruited.The clinical data and the result of the sonographic examinations were reviewed and described.The AWE lesions were divided into ＜3 cm and ≥3 cm groups according to their maximum diameter.Results The sonographic feature of AWE includes irregular hypoechoic nodules with ill-defined margins,anechoic and hyperechoic ring maybe exist.In color Doppler,most of them showed few internal vascularity.Compared with≥3 cm group,＜3 cm group nodules manifested as shorter latent period,with more superficial location,round or oval shape,peripheral hyperechoic ring and none or few vascularity were more common.As for ≥3 cm group nodules manifested as longer latent period,with deeper location,irregular shape,abundant of vascularity were more common.Conclusions Specific diagnosis of AWE can be made by using high frequency sonography combined with clinical features.More accurate information can be provided by judging the size,range and infiltrative depth.

Objective To study the effect of selective COX-2 inhibitor NS398 on IL-10 and IFN-γexpression in human keratinocytes induced by UVA,and further to explore the effect on anti human skin photoaging.Methods HaCaT cells were divided into three groups:simple UV exposure group,NS398-intervene group and blank group.For UV radiation,simple UV exposure group and NS398-intervene group were irradiated with UVA at a dose of 30 J/cm2.In order to assess the effect of NS398,HaCat cells were treated with NS398 at the dose of 0,20,40,80μmol/L respectively and then incubated without irradiation for 2h,substrate changed and cultured for 24h,and then the expression of IL-10 and IFN-γ mRNA was detected via RT-PCR.Results Simple UV exposure group had obviously higher expression of IL-10 mRNA and lower expression of IFN-γ mRNA than that of control group,while NS398-intervened group had significantly lower expression of IL-10 mRNA and higher expression of IFN-γ mRNA than that of simple UV exposure group,and dose-dependency existed.Conclusions NS398 may delay photo-damage of human skin via inhibiting the expression of IL-10 mRNA and up-regulating the expression of IFN-γ mRNA in human keractinocytes.

Objective To study the effects of uhrashortwave and low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in fracture healing. Methods Fifty-six New Zeal-and rabbits with artificial fractures were randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group,an ultrashortwave group,a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field group and an ultrashortwave combined with low frequency pulsed electro-magnetic field group(combined group),with 14 in each group.Radiographic evaluation of callus formation and frac-ture healing,pathohistological examination and detection of VEGF expression through immunohistochemical staining were performed at the 1 st,2nd,4th and 6th week after the operation. Results Radiographic examination showed that there was significantly greater callus formation in the combined group than in the other groups throughout the healing process. Pathohistological examination also revealed significantly more cartilage islets and callus formation in the combined group.At the 1 st,2nd and 4th week after the operation,VEGF positive indexes in the combined group were significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusion Uhrashortwave combined with low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field exposure can up-regulate the expression of VEGF and thus can accelerate fracture healing.

Objective To evaluate the quality of pooled platelets leukocytes reduced after filtering out leukocytes using two man-ufacturers of leucocyte filters for pooled platelets and improving the preparation method.Methods Pooled platelets was prepared from 400 mL fresh whole blood by buffy coats(BC)method,after 1 6 h,(22±2)℃ holding period,pooled six bags of ABO-matched buffy coats.and then filtered with two manufacturers of leucocyte filter,divided into the control group and the experimental group. Before and after filtering,the numbers of platelet and leukocyte,pH,hypotonic shock response(HSR),platelet aggregation and CD62p expression were detected.Results Before filtering leukocytes,the platelet quality of two groups achieved the requirements of Chinese standards.The numbers of platelet and leukocyte,pH,CD62p expression(%)and platelet aggregation showed no signifi-cant difference between two groups(P >0.05).However,After filtering,the pH,platelet aggregation and the platelet recovery,the experimental group and the control group,were (6.53±0.60)vs(7.00±0.06)、(5.5±3.8)% vs (77.4±14.7)%,(86.8±4.3)%vs (90.6±2.7)%,showed significant differences (P <0.05);but the residual leukocytes,HSR and CD62p expression respectively were (3.00±4.00)×10 6/ bag vs (2.00±3.00)×10 6/ bag,(2.40±0.90)% vs (2.00±0.80)%,(7.30±5.90)% vs (5.60 ±3. 70)%,there were no significant differences(P >0.05).Conclusion The quality of pooled platelets leukocytes is reduced,after filte-ring out leukocytes with two manufacturers of leucocyte filters and improving the preparation method,achieves the requirements of Chinese standards.However,the leukocyte filters of experimental group might have influence on platelet aggregation and pH.

Objective To investigate the effect of neonatal overfeeding on the expression of lipid metabolic associated enzymes and molecular mechanisms in the livers of rats. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to litter sizes of three group ( small litters,SL group) or ten ( normal litters,NL group) on postnatal day 3. Body weight,milk intake,liver and fat pad (epididymal and retroperitonea) weight,and hepatic histological anal-ysis were recorded in week 2 and week 3,respectively. The levels of lipids were detected by the automatic biochemical analyzer. The mRNA expressions of acetyl-CoA carboxylase ( ACC) ,lipoprotein lipase ( LPL) ,liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1(CPT1),microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptorα(PPARα) in liver were determined by real time PCR;the protein expressions of SREBP-1c and PPARα were determined by Western lot. Results As early as week 2,the body weight of rats in SL group began to elevate (t=-5. 997,P<0. 001) and food intake (t=-3. 462,P=0. 002) compared with the rats in NL group,and persistent to weaning (body weight:t=-17. 019,P<0. 001;food intake:t=-2. 276,P=0. 031). By the time of 3 weeks old,SL rats increased visceral fat pad [ret-roperitonea (t=-7. 643,P<0. 001),epididymal (t=5. 997,P=0. 001)],liver weight (t=-7. 812,P<0. 001),hepatosomatic index (t=-3.829,P=0. 003) and serum triglyceride (TG) level (t=-2. 703,P=0. 022) compared with those of NL rats,as well as the level of hepatic ACC mRNA (t=-3. 751,P=0. 007),LPL (t=-2. 721,P=0. 017) and L-FABP mRNA (t=-2. 521,P=0. 026) . While CPT1 mRNA (t=-1. 531,P=0. 155) and MTP mRNA (t=-1. 741,P=0. 098) levels remained unchanged in both groups. Hepatic SREBP-1c mRNA expression increased in SL rats after 2 to 3 weeks (t=-2. 836,P=0. 016),paralleled with ACC and LPL mRNA expression;while the mRNA and protein expression of PPARα re-mained unchanged (t=-0. 854,P=0. 411). Conclusions Postnatal overfeeding can promote higher liver pad and dyslip-idemia at the time of weaning. The process may be regulated by up-regulated expression of ACC, LPL and L-FABP. SREBP-1c may be participated in the regulation of ACC,a rate-limiting enzyme involved in lipogenesis.

Objective To measure total hemoglobin concentration (THC) of breast lesion using US-guided diffused optical tomography(DOT) and to investigate the THC optimal threshold value in different size breast lesions.Methods DOT was performed on 500 breast lesions and surgical pathology was as the gold standard.The optimal diagnostic threshold and the efficacy were figured out.Results There were 265 benign and 235 malignant lesions.In malignant lesions,THC of ≥2 cm lesion group was higher than that of ＜2 cm lesion group(P =0.000).In benign lesions,there was no statistical difference between ≥2 cm group and ＜2 cm group (P =0.13).As for ＜2 cm breast lesions,when a THC threshold value of 146.9 μmol/L and 102.2 μmol/L were used,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 74.2％,70.0％,71.7％,62.9％,79.9％ and 86.7％,44.4％,61.6％,51.6％,83％,respectively.As for ≥2 cm breast lesions,when a THC threshold value of 210.4 μmol/L were used,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 74.0％,86.7％,79.1％,89.2％,69.2％.Conclusions THC of breast cancer increased with the increasing size of lesions.The different diagnostic threshold value should be used according to different size lesions so as to enhance sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of contrast enhanced uhrasound(CEUS)for uhrasoundguided radiofrequency ablation(RFA)of liver metastasis.Methods One hundred and forty-one consecutive patients with liver metastasis asked for RFA treatment in our department.Of them,102 patients with received CEUS with SonoVue before RFA treatment.Eighty-six of the 102 patients were regarded as indications for RFA by CEUS(Group A).During the same period,another 39 patients who received conventional US without contrast before RFA were served as the control group(Group B).In Group A,the RFA protocol for each case was designed according to CEUS finding,which included perfusion feature,lesion number,size,shape,invasive range,location and relationship between tumor and surrounding structures.In Group B.the RFA protocol for each case was designed according to conventional ultrasound and CT/MRI result.Results In 102 patients who intended to receive RFA treatment,1 6 were excluded from RFA after CEUS examination.Of them,3 patients with 10 tumors received 6-10 sessions of chemotherapy and there were no enhancement within or around tumors.Another 13 cases were found that the invasive range being more than 8 cm in size,tumor number more than 7,and tumor location adhered to diaphragm and second hepatic helium by CEUS.In Grou0 A,CEUS detected additional 1-3 tumors in 36 patients(41.9%).The size range of the 58 new tumors was 8-15 mm.Of these,79.4%(46/58 tumors)were visualized in parenchymal phase.A total of 209 liver metastasis tumors were treated by RFA.CEUS before RFA demonstrated 49.7%(75/151 tumors)were 1arger in size compared with conventional US.Of these,69.3%(52/75 tumors)presented larger in arterial phase,the remaining 30.7%(23/75 tumors)presented larger in parenchymal phase,and the increased area was also ablated.On 1-3 months follow up with CT,the tumor necrosisrate in Group A was 94.7%(198/209 tumors),which was significantly higher than 87.6%(99/113 tumors)in Group B ( P=0.013). During follow-up period, local recurrence were found in 15 tumors (7.1 %) 2-17 months after REA and intrahepatic new tumors developed in 32 patients (37.2%) 2-17 months after RFA in group A,While local recurrence were found in 16 tumors (14.1%) and intrahepatic new tumors developed in 17 patients (43.5%) in group B ( P=0. 041, P ＞0.05, respectively). Conclusions CEUS provides important information for selecting candidation and designing optimal protocol for RFA in liver metastasis. The use of CEUS can increase tumor necrosis rate and decrease post-RFA tumor local recurrence,and then improve efficacy of RFA therapy.

Objective To explore pathological characterization of the enlarged contrast enhanced area of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC) on contrast enhanced ultrasonography ( CEUS). Methods Thirty-five HCC patients underwent conventional ultrasonography and CEUS before hepatectomy. The tumor sizes were measured on conventional ultrasonography,CEUS and postoperative resected specimen at the largest section. The infiltration depth of the HCC was observed under microscope in the peripheral area of the tumors. HCC with the size of contrast enhancement area on CEUS 0. 3 cm larger than that on conventional ultrasonography was defined as group A, and the others as group B. The pathological character of the tumor and tissues surrounding the tumor were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results Among 35 HCC, 40% (14/35) HCC increased in size on CEUS compared with ultrasonography. Of them,9 tumors with increased area on CEUS were confirmed to be invasive HCC on pathology. Using the enlarged contrast enhanced area on CEUS as the diagnostic criteria of invasive HCC, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 90%, 80%, 82.9%, 64.3%, 95. 2%, respectively. Conclusions The contrast enhanced area on CEUS can reflect the infiltrative tumor size more accurately compared with conventional ultrasonography.
