Objective To study the imaging findings of the normal acromioclavicular joint and acromioclavicular dislocation.Methods CR films of normal shoulder in 68 cases and normal chest in 400 cases were collected.The distances of the acromioclavicular joint were measured,and the inferior cortex line of the acromioclavicular joint was observed on CR.MRI in 30 cases with normal shoulder,24 cases with acromioclavicular dislocation and 7 cases with shoulder impingement syndrome were also presented.Results The normal distance of the acromioclavicular joint was (3.36±0.44) mm.There was an arch line on the inferior cortex of the acromioclavicular joint for normal subjects.According to the Rockwood classification,acromioclavicular dislocation included type Ⅰ in 7/24 cases,type Ⅱ in 5/24 cases and type Ⅲ in 12 cases.The distances of the acromioclavicular joint were increased(>4.3 mm) in type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ,and the inferior cortex lines of the acromioclavicular joint were not continual in type Ⅲ.MR imaging showed that the intra-articular fibrocartilaginous disk,the capsular and acromioclavicular ligament structure were ruptured in type Ⅱ,and coracoclavicular ligament torn in type Ⅲ.Conclusion The distance and the inferior cortex line of the acromioclavicular joint are of important value in diagnosis and classification of acromioclavicular dislocation.MRI is the most significant method in diagnosis of acromioclavicular dislocation.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of Oldenlandia diffusa extract on colorectal cancer angiogenesis in BALB/c mice. Methods Thirty-two BALB/c mice with subcutaneous CT26 colon cancer animal model were randomly equally divided into four groups,including the control group (groupⅠ,saline 0.1 mL/(10. d), O. diffusa ethanol extract of 90 mg/(kg.d) (groupⅡ), O. diffusa ethanol extract of 180 mg/(kg.d) (groupⅢ) and O. diffusa ethanol extract of 360 mg/(kg.d) (group Ⅳ) . Each group of mice were treated with intragastric administration of law administration 12 days after vaccination, then stopped and continue fed to 32 days, and the mice were killed. Micro-vascular dense ( MVD) was observed and countered under the microscopy by immunohistory chemistry. Results The murine colon tumor volumes of GroupⅡ,ⅢandⅣwere significantly less than that of groupⅠ,with significant difference ( <0.05) . The tumor microvessel density values of four groups was (7.83±2.87), (5.32±1.27), (1.77±0.70) and (1.87±0.68),respectively. The number of tumor blood vessels in GroupⅡ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly less than that of Ⅰ group, with significant difference ( <0.05) . Conclusion Within a certain dose range, the ethanol extract of O. diffusa can significantly inhibit the mouse colon cancer and the mechanism may be realated to inhibiting tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of the ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa on the proliferation of CT-26 colon cancer cells which come from BALB/c mice. Method We determined the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa on CT-26 cells' proliferation by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), and calculated the 50% inhibiting concentration (IC50) . Results As to the same concentration, the inhibitory effect of the ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa on CT-26 cells was increased with time, for exsample:after treated with 0.08 mg/mL of ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, the inhibitory rates of CT-26 cells were (16.67 ±9.35)%, (34.66 ±9.23)%and (40.07 ±9.16)%, respectively. After treating CT-26 cancer cells for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, the IC50 values of the ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa were 0.315,0.155 and 0.115 mg/mL, respectively. In the same treatment time, the inhibitory effect of the ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa on CT-26 cells was increased with the increase of concentration:after treatment for 72 h with different concentrations (0.06 mg/mL,0.08 mg/mL,0.10 mg/mL,0.12 mg/mL, 0.14 mg/mL,0.16 mg/mL,0.18 mg/mL and 0.20 mg/mL) of the ethanol extract of Oldenlandia diffusa,the inhibitory rates of CT-26 cells were (35.46 ±3.59)%, (40.07 ±9.16)%, (40.77 ±6.92)%, (52.81 ±1.87)%, (54.22±2.35)%, (68.72±3.71)%, (70.04±8.03)%and (71.84±3.12)%, respectively. Conclusion The ethanol extract of olenlandia diffusa can inhibit the proliferation of CT-26 colon cancer cells from BALB/c mice in a time and dose dependent manner.

Background and purpose:To perform whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer could provide orientation to the specimen. Whole mount technique has great value in pathologic diagnosis and morphological research. However, limited by the specimen-making technique, shortage of equipment and heavy workload, this technique has not been generally accepted in China. The aim of this study was to evaluate the signiifcance of whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer by comparing the clinical and pathological variables between whole mount patients and conventional ones after radical prostatectomy (RP).Methods:A total number of 229 patients’ whole mount RP specimens were recruited in the study from Dec. 2012 to Feb. 2014. The control group included 393 patients’ specimens which underwent conventional sampling from Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2012. We compared the clinical and pathological variables between the groups, including age, preoperative PSA level, methods of diagnosis, preliminary diagnostic Gleason score, clinical T stage, postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, positive surgical margin, extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis.Results:Two groups shared similar preoperative parameters. Also there was no signiifcant difference between the whole mount and the conventional sampling groups in postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, extraprostatic extension and pelvic lymph node metastasis. However, positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion rates were much higher in the whole mount group than the control one and both of the differences reached statistical signiifcance (26.2%vs 17.6%, 23.1%vs 17.0%;P=0.010, 0.025)Conclusion:After compared the clinical and pathological variables, we could conclude that whole mount technique has prevalence in the diagnosis of the positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion compared with the conventional sampling technique. Thus, whole mount technique should be strongly recommended in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
