Objective To explore the value of clinical features combined with 3-D reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of foreign body in trachea or bronchus in children. Methods The data of 52 children diagnosed of foreign body in trachea or bronchus were retrospectively reviewed. Both clinical features and 3-D reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT were analyzed and summarized. Results In 52 children included ( 35 males and 17 females), 82 . 7%were under 3 years old. 30 children has repeated coughing and wheezing as the principal manifestation while 22 children presented with burst irritating and cough as primary manifestation. The main clinical signs were the asymmetry of pulmonary respiration ( 43 cases), wheeze ( 32 cases) and moist rale ( 29 cases). The positive rate of 3-D reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT was 100%and consistent with the results of surgery. Among them, 5 cases were embedded in the trachea, 27 cases in the right bronchus, and 20 cases in the left bronchus. The main complications were emphysema ( 38 cases), bronchitis and pneumonia (32 cases), and pulmonary atelectasis (5 cases). Conclusion The combination of clinical features and 3-D reconstruction of multi-slice spiral CT can provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis of foreign body in trachea or bronchus in children.

METHODS:56cases of chronic hepatitis C were divided into trial group(30cases)and control group(26cases).Trial group received IF ?-2b +compound glycyrrhizin and control group received IF ?-2b alone.The therapeutic course was24weeks in both groups.RESULTS:There was significant difference in recoversion rate of ALT between two groups either at the end of ther?apeutic course or24weeks after treatment(P

Objective To compare biomechanical performances of parallel plate fixation and vertical plate fixation for better clinical treatment of humeral intercondylar comminuted fractures (HICF).Methods Models of T-shaped fracture were created using an osteotome at the distal end of humerus in 6 specimens of upper limb in 3 human adult cadavers.The 2 fracture models of left and right humeri in the same cadaver were respectively fixated with parallel plating and vertical plating.On a biomaterial-testing machine,a vertical load was applied onto the fixated distal humerus at a speed of 5 N/s till it reached 2000 N.The loading was repeated 3 times.Vertical compression displacement,intercondylar separating displacement,deformation of medial and lateral condyles and vertical compression stiffness were documented for statistic analyses. Results Under the same load,parallel plating led to significantly less compression displacement,separating displacement and deformation of condyles( P ＜ 0.05) but significantly greater axial compression stiffness( P ＜ 0.05) than vertical plating. Conclusion In biomechanics,parallel plate fixation has better performance than vertical plate fixation for HICF.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of the platelet parameters in tumor patients before or after radiochemotherapy.Methods The platelet parameters(PLT,PCT,MPV,PDW)were detected in 65 cases of tumor patients before and after radiochemotherapy by the Sysmex XN-1000 automatic hemacytology analyzer.Then the detection results were com-pared with those in the control group.Results Compared with the control group,PLT and MPV before therapy in the tumor pa-tients were significantly increased(P <0.01),but PCT and PDW had no statistical differences between the two goups(P >0.05). PLT,PCT and MPV after radiochemotherapy in the tumor patients were significantly lower than those before treated(P <0.01 ), but no statistically significant difference in PDW was found(P >0.05).Conclusion The measuration of platelet parameters in the tumor patients with radiochemotherapy has certain clinical significance to observe the status of the bone marrow suppression and es-timate the state of illness.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of TMPRSS4 and clinical pathologi-cal parameters in gastric carcinoma. To explore its significance in judging the prognosis of patients. To analyze the expression of TMPRSS4 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Methods The expressions of TMPRSS4, E-cad-herin and Vimentin were detected by immunohistochemistry ( SABC) in 100 cases of gastric carcinoma specimens and corresponding adjacent normal tissue. Results In gastric carcinoma, TMPRSS4, E-cadherin and Vimentin positive rate was 47%,45%,37%. In adjacent tissues,their positive rate was 9%,30%,4%. The differences be-tween tumor tissues and adjacent tissues had statistical significance ( P<0.05 ) . High expression of TMPRSS4 cor-related significantly with lymph node metastases and TNM stage (P<0.05), but not with gender, age, size, tumor histological type,depth of invasion (P>0.05). The 5-year survival rate of patients with high TMPRSS4 expression was significantly lower than that in patients with low expression. The high TMPRSS4 expression was significantly correlated in gastric carcinoma accompanied by low expression of E-cadherin (rs = -0.207,P=0.038) and high Vimentin expression (rs=0.233,P=0.020). Conclusion The expression of TMPRSS4 is closely related to the biological characteristics in gastric carcinoma,detection the expression of TMPRSS4 is valuable in predicting tumor prognosis,invasion and metastasis. TMPRSS4 may promote invasion, metastasis of human gastric carcinoma through epithelial-mesenchymal transition by reduce the expession of E-cadherin.

BACKGROUND:Nonunion is a common clinical problem of bone fracture. For decades, with the help of
internal/external fixation materials, popularization of microsurgical technique, innovation of bone graft materials, especial y molecular biology techniques, breakthrough progress has been made in the treatment of nonunion. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of treatment in nonunion and to provide better technology theory and choices of method for the treatment of nonunion in future.
METHODS:The PubMed database and CNKI database were retrieved by the first author for the articles related to reason and treatment method of nonunion published from January 1990 to May 2013. The key words were
“fracture nonunion, treatment, progress”. For the articles in the same field, those published recently or in authorized journals were selected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The repetitive and old articles were eliminated, and final y 48 articles were selected for further analysis. At present, two methods can be used in the treatment of nonunion, including
nonsurgical method and surgical method, the surgical method is utilized more frequently and more efficiency in clinic. Fracture healing is the complex process involving various aspects, and once the nonunion occurred,
different patients should be treated with different methods, and the combination of various surgical and
nonsurgical methods can be used if necessary to obtain satisfactory effect. But al the treatment methods should pay attention to soft tissue protection.
