Objective To retrospectively evaluate the necessity to dissect the recurrent laryngeal nerve in operation of thyroid gland.Methods From Jan 2004 to Jan 2009,there were 512 patients in our hospital who underwent operation of thyroid gland,and they were divided into two groups aecording to whether or not the recurrent laryngeal nerve was dissected during the operation.The rate of injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve between the two groups was compared.Results Among the 189 cases in dissection of recurrent laryngeal nerve group,3 cases(1.59%) had hoarseness after operation,and in the 323 cases without dissection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve group,5 cases(1.55%) had hoarseness after operation,but the difference was not significant(1.59% vs.1.55%).However,in the high risk cases between the two groups,the difference was significant(1.02% vs.3.95%).Conclusions Whether oe not to dissect the recurrent laryngeal nerve should be decided by the specific circumstances.For most benign lesions,one should,if possible,not expose the recurrent laryngeal nerve;but for large thyroid neoplasms,second or multiple operations and thyroid cancer,exposure of recurrent laryngeal nerve is necessary.

Objective To study the relationship between the bacterial vaginosis (BV) and the preterm premature rupture of membranes and premature labor. Methods Qualitative and colorimetric test was used to detect the presence of bacterial sialidase level in 104 pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes and 80 women with normal full term pregnancy. Results 38 cases were positive of BV in patients with premature rupture of membranes (36.54%) and nine cases were positive in normal full term pregnancy (11.25%) ( P

Objective To study the distribution and molecular characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus(VP) in patients with a‐cute diarrhea ,and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of VP infection .Methods From 2010 to 2014 ,62 VP iso‐lates were collected from patients with acute diarrhea ,for serotyping and virulence gene (tdh and tdh) detection of VP .Molecular characteristics analysis was carried out by using multi‐locus sequence typing (MLST) .Results 7 different serotypes were found from the 62 isolates .O3∶K6 was the most common serotype of VP ,accounting for 74 .19% (46 isolates) ,followed by O4∶K68 (6 isolates) .Tdh gene was the mainly virulence gene ,with a percentage of 95 .16% (59 isolates) ,only three isolates were trh positive . 7 STs were found through MLST analysis of 62 VP isolates ,among which ,ST3 was the most important type ,accounted for 85 .50%(53 isolates) .Conclusion O3∶ K6 serotype VP was the most prevalent type .Tdh gene is the most important virulence gene of WP .ST3 was the the dominant epidemic type .

AIM： To evaluate the role of Na＋/H＋ exchanger-1（NHE-1）in the proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in rats. METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats were equally randomized into the control group and 3-week hypoxic group. Intracellular pH (pHi) of the smooth muscle was determined with fluorescence measurement of the pH-sensitive dye BCECF-AM and the expression of NHE-1 mRNA was detected with RT-PCR. The primary culture of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell in vitro was performed. In situ cell death detection kit (TUNEL) was used to study the effect of specific NHE-1 inhibitor, dimethyl amiloride (DMA), on the apoptosis of muscle cells which had intracellular acidification. RESULTS: pHi value and expression of NHE-1 mRNA of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell were significantly higher respectively in the hypoxic group than those in the control group (P＜0.01). DMA elevated the apoptotic ratio significantly. The effect was enhanced when DMA concentration was augmented and the time was prolonged. CONCLUSION： With the function of adjusting pHi, NHE-1 may play an important role in the proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Objective To evaluate the role of lumbosacral somatosensory evoked potential (LSSEP) examination in the diagnosis of lumbosacral disc herniation (LDH). Methods Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) from posterior tibial nerve, L_4, L_5 and S_1 dermatomes SEP, and lumbosacral SEP was recorded in 54 patients with radiculopathy caused by LDH. Results The SEP from posterior tibial nerve was abnormal in 22 cases (40.74%). The SEP from L_5 and/or S_1 dermatome was abnormal in 47 cases (87.04%, P

Objective To investigate the feasibility of reducing spine metal artifacts with metal artifacts reduction technique (WARP) at 3.0 T MRI.Methods This study included 15 cervical and 14 lumbar spine cases.The image quality of WARP sequences and conventional sequences were compared (5 score evaluation scale) as well as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast noise ratio (CNR) of the image artifacts.The scanning time was recorded.Paired-t test and Mann-Whitney test were used respectively to compare the SNR and CNR,and qualitative scoring between the two sequences.P＜0.05 was considered to indicate a significant difference.Results The image distortion and blur of the WARP sequences were obviously reduced as compared to the conventional sequences.The SNR and CNR of artifacts of the WARP sequences were lower than that of the conventional sequences (All P＜0.05).The image quality scores of WARP sequences in cervical and lumbar spines[4(3 to 5) and 4(3 to 5)] were higher than that of conventional sequences[3(2 to 4),3(2 to 4)](P＜0.05).The scanning time of cervical spines in WARP sequence(14 min 9 s) was increased by 64 s (8.2％),and the time of lumbar spines (13 min 41 s) decreased by 9 s (1.1％).Conclusion The WARP sequences at 3.0 T could effectively reduce the artifacts of metallic prosthesis in cervical and lumbar spine without prolonging the scanning time at 3.0 T MRI.

Objective To raise the awareness of congenital ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) by analyzing the clinical features and the family pedigree in a child with OTCD.Methods Clinical characteristics were analyzed in a child with OTCD.The genetic analysis was performed in ten exons and nine intron-exon boundaries in the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene of the case and his family by direct sequencing of PCR-DNA from peripheral blood.Family history including his grandparents and uncle was registered.Results The onset age of the case was 6 months old,the clinical picture was characterized by recurrent episodes of vomiting,low spirits,hyperammonemia,and abnormal liver function.His brother died of the similar performance at 6 months old.His sister was healthy.IVS1-2A＞G intron mutation of OTC gene was found in the case,while his mother and sister were the carriers and his father revealed no mutation.His maternal grandparents and his uncle's family were healthy.Conclusion OTCD is a kind of congenital genetic disease,and is one of the main causes of hyperammonemia.Misdiagnosis is very common because clinical symptoms of this disease are variable.IVS1-2A＞G mutation in OTC gene is the pathogeny of this case.The family genealogy indicates that this case is a kind of X-linked recessive hereditary disease.

Objective To study the feasibility and invasiveness of hand-assisted laparoscopic hepatectomy(HALH) for liver cancer.Methods Forty patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver cancer were randomly divided into HALH group and open hepatectomy(OH) group.Data of patients of two groups,Which included operating time,intraoperative blood loss,length of incision,postoperative flatus time,hospital stay,complications and C-reactive protein(CRP) were compared.Results The mean intraoperative blood loss,length of incision,postoperative flatus time,hospital stay and CRP in HALH group were significantly less than that in OH group;but there was no significant difference in operating time,or complication and recurrence rate.Conclusions HALH for liver cancer is less traumatic,and achieves faster patient recovery.It is feasible and safe in selected patients.
