Incorporating techniques such as various pulse sequences, contrast enhancement and lymph-node contrast agents has made MRI a superior method for detecting lymph node metastasis of breast cancer in clinical settings.

The antiapoptotic mechanisms of cell transplantation have been paid wide attention in the process of the treatment of cerebral ischemic injtry.The transplanted cells play their roles of mtiapoptotic effect through releasing growth factors and nutritional factors,direct bonding,promoting angiogenesis,and anti-inflammation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of Shenfu Injection in combination of rougui for oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity.METHODS:A total of 73 cases with malignant tumor were randomly divided into control group and treatment group:the control group was treated with chemotherapy alone,in which oxaliplatin was included;the treatment group was treated intravenously with Shenfu Injection 40～60ml for 7～10d plus orally with 3g Rougui decoction prior to chemothera_py.RESULTS:Incidences of neurotoxicity for the treatment group and the control group were 13.5% and 55.6%,respectively.Significant differences were noted between 2 groups(P

Objective To evaluate MRI characteristics of solid papillary carcinomas (SPCs) in situ of the breast.Methods A retrospective study included 5 patients with pathologically confirmed SPC in situ was performed.MRI data before operation including conventional MRI,dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and DWI were analyzed.Results All the lesions showed iso/hypointensity on T1 FSPGR sequence,iso/hyperintensity on FSE T2WI sequence and STIR sequence.Mass enhancements were observed for all lesions with oval or irregular shapes on DCE-MRI.The margin of lesions were circumscribed,and internal enhancements were homogeneous or heterogeneous.Time intensity curve appeared a rapid increase in initial contrast phases and platform or outflow types in delayed phases.All the lesions on DWI showed slightly hyperintensity with the ADC value range from 1.34 × 10-3 mm2/s to 1.96)× 10-3 mm2/s.Conclusion MRI manifestations of SPC are characteristics,which may provide valuable information to distinguish SPC in situ from other invasive breast carcinomas.

Aim To explore the apoptotic effect of mimics of manganese superoxide dismutase(MnSODm)on human leukemia cell line K562 in vitro and the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods Human leukemia K562 cells were used as the target cells.The cell proliferating activity was examined by a MTT colorimetric assay,and the apoptosis of K562 cells was assessed with FITC-Annexin V and propidium iodide(PI)double staining and morphological changes.The expressions of bcl-2 and bax mRNA were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and flow cytometry(FCM)was employed to measure the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax protein,mitochondrial inner membrane potential(??m),Cytochrome C(Cyt C)release and Caspase-3 activity.Results The proliferation of K562 cells was obviously inhibited by 0.5~10 mg?L-1 MnSODm(P

From March 2000 to March 2003,15 cases of post internal fixation of fractures and arthroplasty infection were selected from Department of Traumatic Orthopedics,Tianjin Hospital,including 6 males and 9 females.The average age of re-operation was 56 years old.The average time from the primary surgery to diagnosis of infection was 0-19 months.Of the 15 cases,4 of arthroplasty infection underwent prosthesis extraction and temporary fixation with bone cement containing antibiotic and underwent another arthroplasty 6 months later.Of 11 cases of infection following internal fixation,the internal fixation was effective in 2 cases,and the fixation was removed after fracture healing,and ineffective in 9 cases.The fixation was removed primarily and focus of infection was cleared,lavaged with antibiotic solution,and another internal fixation was performed.The pus samples of 15 cases showed positive.Eleven cases(73.3%) had chronic infection including 9 occurring following fracture fixation and 2 following arthroplasty.Four cases(26.7%) had acute infection,including 2 occurring following arthroplasty and 2 following fracture fixation.No infection caused by blood circulation was found.The Gram-positive bacteria,staphylococcus aurens,staphylococcus epidermidis,and enterococcus occupied the most part of the infections in spite of the location and type of the infections,and Gram-positive bacteria-staphylococcus aurens was the most common.The order of the antibiotics sensitivity was Vancomycin,Rifampicin,Gentamicin,and Cephazoline.In addition,antibiotics sensitivity was varied in different infections.In samples of 15 cases,2 cases were sensitive to two bacteria at the same time following fracture fixation.The staphylococcus aurens,staphylococcus epidermidis,and enterococus are the high risk of injection following internal fixation of fractures and arthroplasty.The sensitive antibiotics and long-term medication are effective methods to treat the infection.

Objective To observe the serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and hypersensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) in elderly patients with cerebral infarction and to investigate their relationship and clinical significance by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).Methods The serum levels of Hcy and hs-CRP were by enzymatic cycling method and scattering turbidimetry in the elderly patients ( 116 cases with cerebral infarction and 100 cases of healthy control).Those 116 cases with cerebral infarction were divided into three groups by the degree of NIHSS.The three groups were compared with each other.Results The levels of serum Hcy and hs-CRP in elderly patients with cerebral infarction were significantly higher than that of healthy control group ( t =6.97,P ＜0.01 ; t =14.96,P ＜0.01 ).There has significant difference among those three groups with cerebral infarction by comparing with each other( F =23.49,P ＜0.05; F =28.19,P ＜0.05).A positive correlation was found between Hcy and degree of NIHSS( r=0.54,P ＜0.05),and between hs-CRPand degree of NIHSS( r =0.58,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Serum levels of Hcy and hs-CRP are correlated with the occurrence of cerebral infarction and its severity.There has positive clinical significance to evaluate the effect of cerebral infarction by measuring the serum levels of Hcy and hs-CRP dynamic.

Objective To explore the relationship between the level of morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) and High-sensitivity C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) in acute coronary events among old patients and to evaluate their clinical value. Methods One hundred and twenty - three patients with coronary disease were divided into two groups, each of which was old myocardial infarction(OMI, n = 55) and old myocardial infarction with acute cardiovascular syndrome (OMI + ACS, n =68). The control group includes the patients without coronary disease( n =50). The patients who have infection, malignant tumors, liver and kidney dysfunction, blood diseases, valvular heart diseases, congenital heart diseases, aortic dissection,secondary hypertension were not included. All groups were received 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to calculate MBPS and the determination of hs-CRP in serum. Results Compared with each two groups, the levels of MBPS and hs-CRP in OMI group were significantly higher than those of the control group (0. 01 ＜ P ＜0. 05) , and had more significance in the other groups ( P ＜0.01). The levels of MBPS and hs-CRP had positive relationship in coronary events in the elderly ( r =0. 76, P ＜0. 01) . Conclusion The level of MBPS is positively correlated with serum hs-CRP which is one of key risk factors of inflammatory reactions by impairing vessels in body. The two factors both play important roles in the occurrence and the development of coronary events among old patients. They both have important clinical value in recurrent acute coronary events among old patients.

Objective To explore the impact of hyperglycemia on Hypersensitive C-reaction protein (hsCRP),B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) and ventricular remodeling in elder patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods One hundred and twenty elder patients with AMI are divided into hyperglycemia group(blood sugar in admission ＞ 7.8 mmol/L) and non-glycemia group(blood sugar in admission ≤7.8 mmol/L).The levels of blood sugar in admission,hsCRP,BNP were detected.LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD,WMS were observed by cardiac echo in admission and two weeks after therapy.Results The blood sugar in admission,hsCRP and BNP of the patients in hyperglycemia group were (9.6 ± 0.6) mmol/L,(1 750.6 ±677.1) ng/L,(56.1 ±38.6) ng/L,higher than those in non-glycemia group (t =38.679 and P =0.000; t =11.941 and P =0.000; t =3.288 and P ＜0.01,respectively).LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD and WMS of patients in hyperglycemia group didn't show statistical significance before and after therapy.However,there were significant in hyperglycemia group (t =2.049 and P =0.043,t =2.836 and P =0.005,t =3.814 and P =0.000,t =2.086 and P =0.039,respectively).Conclusion Hyperglycemia can reduce the increase of hsCRP and BNP,which has an impact on hsCRP,BNP and ventricular remodeling in elder patients with acute myocardial infarction,but the mechanism need to further research.
