Cajanin preparation could significantly reduce the mouse pinna inflammation iuduced by croton oil. The higher the dose, the stronger the effect .It also inhibited the infiltration increase of intraperitoneal blood capillary of mice led by acetic acid.In addition, the preparation had an analgesic effect. These experimental results indicated that cajanin may be hopefully developed to a new drug for the treatment of scald trauma, and infection.

The pharmacological activity of Mycena dendrobii Fan et Guo, a new species of endophytic fungus was studied. It was revealed that the mycelia methanol extracts and the fermentation liquid ethanol extracts of Mycena dendrobii showed anglgesic effect to mice, which have the correlations to that of the traditional Chinese medicine ‘shihu’. The fermentation liquid ethanol extracts of Mycena dendrobii showed excitation effect to central nervous system of mice. Then the effective parts of anglgesic effect was determined.

PurposeVon Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant diseases involved multiple organs. This paper aims to explore the clinical and imaging features of VHL syndrome for the improvement of early diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Materials and Methods The clinical and imaging data, as well as their history of 5 patients with VHL syndrome were retrospectively studied. Follow-up was performed and the related literature was also reviewed.Results Among the 5 patients, 4 were found with angioreticulomas. One out of four patients simultaneously suffered from multiple angioreticulomas in brainstem, and another one had multiple cervical cord angioreticulomas. The typical MRI showed multiple cystic and solid mass with mixed intense signals, and the enhanced MRI displayed obvious enhancement in the solid part of the mass. Three patients were diagnosed with renal clear cell carcinomas. The typical CT scan showed equidensity or slightly low density signals, and the enhanced CT scan noted heterogeneous enhancement. Besides, bilateral epididymis cystadenoma occurred in one case. The ultrasonography presented heterogeneous echo and rich blood vessels. The follow-ups had been conducted till January 2015. According to the Glasgow outcome scale, three patients were in good conditions, while the other two died from renal clear cell carcinomas.Conclusion Patients with VHL syndrome usually have an unsatisfactory prognosis and most may die from renal carcinoma. Genetic test and investigation of family history should be performed as early as possible on patients with highly suspected or confirmed VHL Early treatment, life-long follow-up and periodic imaging examinations may be helpful in the prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted minimal invasive resection(Mammotome procedure)of breast lumps through the retromammary space. Methods Seven hundred and eighty-seven patients in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from Jan. 2011 to May 2012 were underwent ultrasound-guided Mammotome operation through the retromammary space (retromammary space group,385 cases),or adjacent the lumps,and followed by post-operation visits regularly (Mammotome operation adjacent the lumps group,402 cases). The operation effects were compared between the two groups. Results All cases were followed up for 12 months. The period of Mmmotome operation through the retromam mary space and the rate of resection were(48 ± 6)min and(52 ± 4)min,99. 48%(383 / 385), 99. 25%(399 / 402),perspectively,in group of Mammotome operation through the retromammary space and Mammotome operation adjacent lumpsand. There was no significant difference between the two groups( P> 0. 05). The amount of procedural bleeding,the incidence of ecchymosis,local hematoma and the number of incision in group of Mammotome operation through the retromammary space were(8 ± 3)ml,2. 34%(9 / 385), 0. 52%(2 / 385),(1. 3 ± 0. 6)respectively,which were significantly lower than those in Mammotome operation adjacent the lumps group((14 ± 6)ml,8. 71%(35 / 402),2. 74%(11 / 402),(2. 4 ± 0. 3)respectively). There were statistical difference between two groups( P = 0. 003,P < 0. 001,P = 0. 001,P = 0. 006). The rate of satisfaction in group of Mammotome operation through the retro-mammary space was 98. 70%(380 / 385),which is significantly higher than in group of Mammotome operation adjacent the lumps(89. 30%(359 / 402),P< 0. 01). Conclusion The therapy approach of ultrasound-guided Mammotome operation through the retromammary space has lower hemorrhagic complication,as well as the better effect with special advantages. Therefore it has prospective clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen for breast cancer.

METHODSIt is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. Participants were randomized to receive trastuzumab administered concurrently or sequentially with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen. The primary endpoint was cardiac safety. The second endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

RESULTSOne hundred and nine breast cancer patients were enrolled and randomized in this trial. Fifty-five participants received trastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline-containing adjuvant regimen and 54 patients received trastuzumab administered sequentially with anthracycline. The primary cardiac event was asymptomatic decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). There was no significant difference between concurrent and sequential groups in cardiac event rates (9.1% vs13.0%, P = 0.556), neither of LVEF values at basline or at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months during trastuzumab treatment (P > 0.05). Four patients (7.3%) in the concurrent group suffered local recurrences or distant metastases, and 6 participants (11.1%) in the sequential group had distant metastases. There was no significant difference between the two groups in DFS (P = 0.724). There was no death in both groups.

CONCLUSIONSTrastuzumab administered concurrently with anthracycline is a safe adjuvant regimen for breast cancer and does not increase cardiac events. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen.

Objective:To explore the relationship between thyroid parenchymal echogenicity abnormalities and thyroid function evolution in health examination population.Methods:It was a cohort study. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, participants were selected from individuals who underwent thyroid color ultrasound and thyroid function tests at the Health Management Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January to December 2017. Data including age, gender, smoking history, alcohol consumption history, personal medical history, and thyroid function re-examination information were collected. Follow-up was conducted until the occurrence of thyroid function abnormalities or until the end of the follow-up period. The cumulative incidence rate and incidence density of thyroid function abnormalities were evaluated. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between thyroid parenchymal echogenicity abnormalities and thyroid function evolution.Results:A total of 6 754 participants were included in this study, with an average age of (45.80±12.12) years, and females accounted for 42.7%. The mean follow-up time was 1.82 years, with a cumulative follow-up duration of 12 263 person-years. During the follow-up period, 154 new cases of thyroid function abnormalities occurred, with a cumulative incidence rate of 2.28% (95% CI: 1.94%-2.66%) and an incidence density of 12.56/1 000 person-years (95% CI: 10.66/1 000-14.69/1 000 person-years). The multivariate adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that individuals with thyroid parenchymal echogenicity abnormalities had a significantly increased risk of developing isolated thyroid stimulating hormone abnormalities and thyroid function abnormalities, with HR(95% CI) of 3.09 (2.02-4.73) and 2.92(1.96-4.33), respectively, both P<0.001. Stratified analysis showed that, except for body mass index <18.5 kg/m 2, current smoking, and current alcohol consumption, all other stratified factors showed a significant increase in the risk of thyroid function abnormalities in individuals with thyroid parenchymal echogenicity abnormalities. Conclusion:Thyroid parenchymal echogenicity abnormalities are important risk factors for the evolution of thyroid function abnormalities. Continuous monitoring of thyroid function should be given due attention.

Objective:To summarize the etiological mechanism, echocardiographic and clinical features of fetal cardiomyopathies (FCMs).Methods:According to the data of echocardiography in Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center in Fetal Heart Disease of Beijing Anzhen Hospital during 2015 January to 2020 December, 70 cases with FCMs were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical, ultrasonic, pathological and clinical outcome data were collected. Whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing were used to identify the genetic changes.Results:Primary FCMs were diagnosed in 55 cases (78.6%, 55/70), including 39 fetuses with non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM), 10 with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 5 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and 1 with restricted cardiomyopathy (RCM). Secondary FCMs were diagnosed in 15 cases (21.4%, 15/70), including 7 fetuses with maternal anti-Ro/La antibodies (presenting with DCM), 4 with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (2 with DCM and 2 with HCM), 2 with fetal anemia (presenting with DCM), 1 with maternal diabetes (presenting with HCM) and 1 with chorioangioma of the placenta (presenting with DCM). In all cases, 9 cases were born, 3 cases died in perinatal period, and 58 pregnancies were terminated due to ineffective treatment or the decisions of pregnant women. Thirty cases with primary FCMs were performed with genetic tests, and 13 of them were identified with positive genetic changes related to FCMs, including 12 cases with NVM and 1 with HCM.Conclusions:Primary FCMs are more common than secondary FCMs in fetal period. The genetic disorders have a high proportion in fetal NVM. Fetal DCM and HCM have a large spectrum of intrinsic and extrinsic causes.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy and side effects of brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus chlormethine hydrochloride (CH) in patients with relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after failure with BV alone.

METHODSFrom March, 2014 to December, 2014, 6 patients who failed with BV monotherapy were enrolled in this study. The chemotherapy regimen consisted of BV (1.2-1.8 mg/kg, iv. gtt, d1) and CH (6 mg/m2, iv. gtt, d1) was given for 3 weeks as one course, and all patients received about 3-8 courses of chemotherapy, with an median of 4 courses. Clinical efficacy and adverse events were assessed and observed by radiographic examination and serological detection.

RESULTSAmong 6 patients, the overall response rate was 100% with 2 complete remission and 4 partial remission. The main adverse events were grade I (2 patients) and IV (2 patients) bone marrow depression, grade II (2 patients)gastrointestinal reaction, grade I (1 patient) increase of transaminase and myocardial enzyme and grade I (1 patient) mouth ulcers.

CONCLUSIONThe combination of BV and CH in the treatment of relapsed and refractory HL after failure with BV alone was high effective and the toxicities were well tolerable.
