Objective To improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of mediastinal cysts.Methods 36 patients with mediastinal cyst proved by surgery and pathology were collected, and CT findings were analyzed retrospectively.Results In all 36 cases,CT defined the masses with clear margin, thin wall and fluid-like density content which had no enhancement after intravenous contrast administration. There were neurenteric cyst(n=1), bronchial cyst(n=12), esophageal cyst(n=2), pericardial cyst(n=5), dermoid cyst(n=7), lymphangioma(n=4), thymic cyst(n=4) and non-special cyst(n=1). Conclusion The diagnosis of mediastinal cyst and differential diagnosis from other cystic lesions can be made according to the characteristics on plain and post-contrast CT scans.

Objective To explore the indications and efficacy of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation(EPBD) in the management of choledocholithiasis. Methods EPBD combined with a retrieval basket or balloon or both was performed to remove common bile duct stones in 42 cases from April 1999 to August 2001. The length and maximum diameter of the balloon were 5 0cm and 1 2cm respectively. The number of common bile duct stones must be less than 3, and the diameter must be less than or equal to 1 0cm. The balloon was inflated at pressure of (8～12)atm for 2min two times and the corresponding dilated diameter was 1 0cm～1 2cm. Results EPBD was performed successfully in all patients. The common bile duct stones were removed in 40 out of 42 patients, including endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST) in 4 patients, with the success rate being 95 2%(40/42). Stone removal failed in 2 patients. 3 cases had mild pancreatitis postoperatively. No complications such as bleeding or intestinal perforation occurred. Conclusions It is suitable to treat common bile duct stones by EPBD when the number of stones is less than 3 and the diameter is less than or equal to 1.0cm.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol preconditioning on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in HEPG2 cells.Methods HEPG2 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),propofol group (group P),H/R group and H/R + propofol preconditioning group (group PP).In group C,the cells were cultured routinely for 42 h.In group H/R,after being cultured routinely for 6 h,the cells were exposed to 1％ O2 + 5％ CO2 + 94％ N2 for 12 h followed by 12 h reoxygenation.In group PP,the cells were cultured for 6 h in the culture medium containing propofol 10 μmol/L (final concentration),and then H/R was induced.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.The expression of immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein (BIP),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and activated caspase-3 was determined by Western blot.The expression of BIP,CHOP and caspase-3 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was up-regnlated in H/R and PP groups,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group P.Compared with group H/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in PP group.Conclusion Propofol preconditioning can promote the cell proliferation and attenuate H/R injury to HEPG2 cells through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of outbreaks control in school settings after a 2 dose varicella vaccine immunization strategy implemented in Beijing.

METHODSEpidemiological data of varicella outbreaks in school and kindergarten settings, which were reported by all 16 districts (county) during 2007-2013 according to the technical management norms of Beijing, was collected. The first dose and second dose varicella vaccine coverage rate of eligible children after the 2 dose varicella vaccine immunization strategy implementation were estimated through BJIIMS. Based on above we analyzed the changes of outbreak quantity, case quantity and the distribution characteristics between the pre-adjustment era (2007-2011 years) and late adjustment era (2013) of the 2 dose immunization strategy.

RESULTSIn pre-adjustment era (2007-2011 years), an average of 74 (95% CI: 60-89) outbreaks was reported and 964 (95% CI: 812-1 116) cases were involved per year. In late adjustment era (2013): Outbreaks (35) declined 52.7%, involved cases (371) declined 61.5%; Outbreaks epidemic duration shortened from 22 days of pre-adjustment era to 18 days; Outbreaks involved 10-24 cases declined 64.7% (from 34 to 12); Outbreaks involved ≥ 25 cases declined 71.4% (from 7 to 2); Outbreaks of different school type as well as different regions without exception declined dramatically. Cumulative one-dose vaccine coverage in children of 2-6 yr of age was 89.6% (812 859/907 579), and cumulative second-dose vaccine coverage in children of 4-7 yr of age was 44.3% (289 764/647 732).

CONCLUSIONImplementation of a 2 dose varicella vaccine immunization strategy effectively controlled outbreaks in school and kindergarten settings.
