Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),the precise etiology of which remains unknown,is comprised of two forms of chronic intestinal inflammation,ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.Recent researches suggest that angiopoiesis plays an important role in the development of IBD.Many cytokines can enhance angiopoiesis,such as fibroblast growth factor-2,interleukin-8,platelet-derived growth factor,transforming growth factor-? and particularly vascular endothelial growth factor.This review summarizes the angiopoietic factors correlated with IBD.

Purpose To investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics and pathological features of mesenteric lym-phangioma. Methods The clinical pathological and imaging features of 14 cases diagnosed mesenteric lymphangioma were retrospec-tively analyzed. Results 14 cases of mesenteric lymphangioma appeared diversity of clinical symptoms, most presenting abdominal pain and discomfort. Cystic lesion had often been diagnosed and only 2 cases were recognized as lymphangioma by imaging examina-tion. These tumors usually located in the mesentery and some involved intestinal wall. Microscopically, the tumors were consisted of ir-regular cavities, lined with simple flat endothelial cells, filled with lymph fluid and lymphocytes. All cases showed strong D2-40 immu-noreactivity. Conclusion Mesenteric lymphangioma is a benign tumor with serious complications, and preoperative CT imaging stud-ies may prompt the diagnosis. Resection completely is the preferred treatment.

Objective To evaluate the long?term effect of the comprehensive control strategy for schistosomiasis with empha?sis on infectious source control in marshland?type endemic areas of Poyang Lake. Methods Three heavy endemic villages with schistosomiasis in the lake areas were selected as pilots for the comprehensive control strategy which included replacing bovine with tractors and forbidding grazing on marshlands. The data of schistosome infections of residents and Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected and analyzed statistically from 2009 to 2014. Results There were no patients with schistosomiasis through feces examinations in the 3 pilot villages. The average density of live snails in Niuzhou marshland showed a decline trend and the density was stable in Liulingwei marshland. There were no infected snails in the 2 marshlands and no schistosome adult worms were found in the sentinel rats Conclusion The implantation of the comprehensive control strategy for schistosomiasis with em?phasis on infectious source control can control the prevalence of schistosomiasis during a long period.

Objective: The Thinprep liquid-based cytology test(TCT) is a new technique applied to cytopathologic diagnosis in recent years.The purpose of this study was to analyze the diagnostic coincidence between lung puncture liquid-based cytology and histopathology.Methods: A total of 408 tissue specimens obtained by CT-guided percutaneous translung biopsy were observed under the optical microscope after fixation,embedding,sectioning and staining,and the cells in the washing fluid for puncture needles were detected by TCT.Then the diagnostic coincidence was analyzed between cytological and pathological biopsies.Results: Of the 408 cases detected by liquid-based cytology,148(36.3%) were diagnosed as cancer,32(7.8%) as suspected cancer,38(9.3%) as heterocyst and 190(44.9%) were negative,as compared with 183(44.9%),21(5.1%),22(5.2%) and 182(44.6%) by histopathology.The results showed a correlation between the two methods(P

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of plasma amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on short term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured in ACS patients within 24 h after admission with ELISA method. The 600 ACS patients were divided into two groups: event group （n=108）and no-event group （n=492）according to occurrence of cardiovascular events（including cardiac death, cardiac shock and heart failure）, The NT-proBNP levels were compared between two groups. Single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate if NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis. Results: The plasma NT-proBNP levels of event group were significantly higher than those of no-event group [1361.2 (965.3, 2088.6) pmol/L vs.605.7 (274.5, 1177.8) pmol/L, p<0.01]. Multiple factor Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that plasma NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis (OR=1.000, p<0.01) in ACS patients. Conclusion: Plasma NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis in ACS patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS).

METHODSThe clinical data and pathologic features of 48 cases of ASPS were evaluated. Immunohistochemical study, PAS staining and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) were carried out in selected examples. Relevant literature was reviewed.

RESULTSAmongst the 48 cases studied, there were 17 males and 31 females, with male-to-female ratio of 1.0∶1.8. The age of patients ranged from 2 to 60 years (median=26 years). The tumor was most commonly located in deep soft tissue, especially that of lower extremities. Histologically, the tumor cells were arranged in alveolar or solid patterns and separated by sinusoidal vessels. They were large and contained abundant eosinophilic granules or crystals in cytoplasm. The nuclei were round to polygonal and vesicular, often with prominent nucleoli. Intravascular tumor extension was common. Some cases showed necrosis, hemorrhage and cystic changes. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were positive for TFE3 (100%, 33/33). FISH assay was carried out in 4 cases and all of them had TFE3-ASPL gene fusion.

CONCLUSIONSASPS is a rare malignant neoplasm, often occurs in young patients. TFE3 is a useful immunohistochemical marker for diagnosis. The diagnosis is further confirmed by other markers.

Conclusion Transplantations of cutaneous,musculo-cutaneous or greater omentum flaps ale effective to repair and reconstruct the open compound lower extremity wounds.

Blood pressure is A key factor for the prognosis of survivors of aortic dissection. Exercise plays an irreplaceable role in improving blood pressure of Stanford type A aortic dissection survivors. However, Stanford type A aortic dissection survivors generally have the problem of reduced physical activity, which is often ignored by many medical workers and patients. This paper focused on the mechanism, benefits, sports content and intervention strategies of exercise therapy in improving blood pressure in survivors of acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection, in order to improve the attention of medical workers to exercise in survivors of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection survivors to develop exercise program to provide some guidance.

The 5-HTreceptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-[di--propylamino] tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) promotes ejaculation of male rats, whereas dapoxetine delays this process. However, the gene expression profile of the brain at ejaculation following administrationof these two compounds has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, a transcriptomic BodyMap was generated by conducting mRNA-Seq on brain samples of male Sprague-Dawley rats. The study included four groups: pre-copulatory control (CK) group, ejaculation (EJ) group, 0.5 mg/kg 8-OH-DPAT-ejaculation group (DPAT), and 60 mg/kg dapoxetine-ejaculation (DAP) group. The resulting analysis generated an average of approximately 47 million sequence reads. Significant differences in the gene expression profiles of the aforementioned groups were observed in the EJ (257 genes), DPAT (349 genes) and the DAP (207 genes) compared with the control rats. The results indicate that the expression ofandwas significantly different after treatment with 8-OH-DPAT, whereas the expression ofwas significantly different after treatment with dapoxetine. Other genes, such as,and, exhibited significant differences in expression after the two treatments and are related to bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma and sexual addiction. The present study reveals the basic pattern of gene expression that was activated at ejaculation in the presence of 8-OH-DPAT or dapoxetine, providing preliminary gene expression information during rat ejaculation.
