Objective To evaluate the value of CT guided branchofiberoscopic biopsy of carcinoma originating from small bronchiole. Methods The fiberbronchoscopic biopsy results of 33 cases under CT guidance were compared to the results of surgical pathology, including fiberbronchoscopic blind examination and CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Results The lesions occurred in 1 - 3 grade bronchus could be approached with fiberbronchoscopic biopsy under direct vision. CT guided fiberbronchoscopic biopsy had the benefit of getting more reliable, accurate samples simultaneously with less complications in the diagnosis of bron-chiolar lesions. It was more easy and having higher positive rate to diagnose the lesion of terminal bronchiole and alveoli by CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Conclusions CT guided fiberbronchoscopic biopsy can collect more wholesome pathologic specimen than other examinations for small lesions of bronchus. The comprehensive utilization of microscopy, brush biopsy and multiple sites biopsy can improve the accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the comprehensive application of the CT guided transbronchial lung biopsy (CT TBLB) and CT guided percutaneous needle lung biopsy (CT_NLB) in pulmonary peripheral lesions.Methods According to the lesion location in lung field,51 patients were selected to CT TBLB and 46 patients to CT NLB.Results In the comprehensive application of the two lung biopsy methods,the comphensive biopsy success rate was 100%,pathological diagnostic positive rate 87.6% and diagnostic correct rate 97.9% (of them 100% in CT TBLB).The complications of pneumothorax and haemoptysis were decreased significantly.The positive rate and diagnostic correct rate seem higher,but there was no significant difference between the two methods (P

Objective To explore the better diagnostic method for acute splenic arteral injury through comparative analysis of CT and DSA. Methods Fifty-seven patients with acute splenic injury were examined by CT and DSA,treated with splenic arterial embolization and then undertook follow up. Results CT examination possessed higher sensitivity and accuracy than DSA in demonstrating splenic parenchymal laceration,intrasplenic hematoma,subcapsuler hematoma,rupture of splenic capsule and combinated injury of intra-abdominal organs,especially in localizing splenic laceration.And there was a high significant difference statistically between the two kinds of examination(?~2=10.71,P

Objective To investigate the histologic basis of imaging manifestations on adrenal myelolipoma and evaluate the value of various imaging modalities in diagnosing the tumor.Methods The imaging manifestations and pathological features of 21 cases of adrenal myelolipoma proved by postsurgical pathology were retrospectively analysed.Results Histologically,the myelolipoma presented hematopoietic elements amidst fatty tissue and showed indefinite border.The myeloid tissue was well vascularized and were adherent closely to normal adrenal gland.Both CT and MRI detected a single mass with irregular plaque or streak of bone marrow tissues between fatty components.The capsule of the tumor was not apparent,but rarely it presented an irregular local “capsule”which was composed of adrenal tissue with compression surrounding the tumor.Enhanced-scan found foggy enhancement in fatty tissue and enhancement of bone marrow tissue which made myeloid plaque enlarged and the edge misted.Ultrasonography demonstrated highly echogenic fat-containing ball of adrenal,while intravenous urography only showed translocation and renal axis alteration of homolateral kidney.Conclusion CT scan appears to be the most accurate qualitative modality to demonstrate adrenal myelolipoma while coronal and sagittal section scanning on MRI can make its localization more exact.Ultrasonography is also an important way in detecting the mass whereas intravenous urography and abdominal plain film should not be used to be the qualitative criterion.

The latest literature concerning operative treatment for distal radius fracture was reviewed to find out the newest developments in this field.This paper summarizes bilateral internal fixation with combined palmar and dorsal incisions,dorsal open reduction and plate internal fixation,internal fixation with LCP(locking compression plate),dorsal Pi-plate internal fixation combined with external fixators,and arthroscopic treatment of distal radius fractures,for they are reported to have reached excellent or good results.The reports show that each subtype of distal radius fractures merits a unique approach,because distinct fracture patterns result from different mechanisms of injury.

Animals for model of osteoporosis involve rat, mouse, rabbit, beagle dog, minipig, sheep, etc. The types of model include aged related model, ovariectomized model, orchietomied model, drug treated model, abolition degeneration model, and dietary bone loss. The rat with ovariectomized model is used widely. Biochemical determination, bone mineral density measurement, bone histomorphorphormetry and bone biomechanics are used to judge the formation of experimental osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of gastrointestinal environment on fecal occult blood test.Methods Mixed peripheral venous blood (45 ml) of 25 healthy volunteers from medical examination center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital in 2015 were collected to establish an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model.The model was used to study the effects of different digestion time and concentration of digestive juice on the immunochemical fecal occult blood test using two kinds of occult blood detection reagents.Results When the amount of bleeding was over 5 ml,fecal occult blood test still showed positive after artificial stomach liquid digestion for 2 hours and artificial intestinal liquid digestion for 5 hours.The fecal occult blood test turned negative after artificial stomach liquid digestion for 0.5-3 hours and artificial intestinal liquid digestion for 3 hours.The positive rate of fecal occult blood test was closely related to the amount of bleeding.When the amount of bleeding was large and bleeding was acute,false negative could be caused by postzone phenomenon.The upper detection limit of two reagents was more than 3 165 ng/L,and the lower detection limit was0.2 ng/L.Conclusions Higher positive rate was detected not only in lower digestive tract bleeding but also in upper gastrointestinal bleeding with immunoassay method.Immunochemical fecal occult blood reagent had a wide detection range and could meet the clinical requirements for detection of gastrointestinal bleeding.

BACKGROUND: Myelination following axonal regeneration is a key factor affecting the recovery of spinal cord injury. Oligodendrocyte survival directly affects the myelination following axonal regeneration. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into oligodendrocytes induced by neurotrophic factors. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cell molecular biology in vitro study was performed at the Laboratory of Department of Orthopaedics, Tongji Hospital from September 2006 to June 2007. MATERIALS: A total of 5 Sprague Dawley rats aged 2-4 weeks, of both gender were selected. Bilateral femur and tibia bone marrow was obtained to harvest BMSCs. METHODS: At passage 4, BMSCs were incubated in serum-free medium, supplemented with N2, 20 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor, 20 ng/mL epidermal growth factor for 48 hours, and incubated in medium containing 500 ng/mL insulin-like growth factor I and N2 for 3 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological changes were observed using an phase contrast microscope. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was utilized to detect specific marker mRNA expression of oligodendrocytes. Using neuron marker anti-microtubule-associated protein, astrocyte marker anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein, oligodendrocyte marker anti-galactocerebroside, anti-myelin basic protein antibody, immunocytochemical staining was performed to detect the positive rate of the differentiation of BMSCs into oligodendrocytes. RESULTS: Morphological changes in BMSCs during the differentiation into oligodendrocytes: After the induction, a majority of BMSCs presented the morphological characteristics of oligodendrocytes. Cytoplasm retraction towards nucleus, cell process extension towards outwards, and strong refraction were found. With the prolongation of time, several cell processes connected and formed a typical net-shape structure. Specific marker mRNA expression of oligodendrocytes: Following induction, specific strap of myelin basic protein mRNA and galactocerebroside mRNA could be detected. Positive rate of oligodendrocytes: During induction, the positive rates of galactocarebroside, myelin basic protein and microtubule-associated protein were 65%, 45% and 10%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The combination of epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and insulin-like growth factor can effectively promote the directional differentiation of BMSCs into oligodendrocytes.
