Objective:To analyze CT characteristics of pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis versus chronic pancreatitis in order to improve its CT differential diagnostic accuracy.Methods:CT findings in 14 cases of pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis and 15 cases of chronic pancreatitis were retrospectively analyzed.Both plain and enhanced CT scans were performed in all cases.Thin-layer scan was practiced when required.Observation was focused on the size,shape,density of pancreas,its relationship with Peripancreatic tissues,the images of enhancement,and the location,size,density of pancreatic carcinoma.Moreover,observation was focused on the dilation of common bile duct,main pancreatic duct and hepatic bile duct Then,CT characteristics of pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis were analyzed and compared.Results:In the pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis group,all cases have mass,and noenhancement in the arterial phrase.Peripancreatic blood vessels were invaded or surrounded(5 cases and 4 cases respectively).Peripancreatic adipose were not seen enough(5 cases).Lymph node enlargement(4 cases),Liver metastasis(5 cases).Dilation of common bile duc(t8 cases,9.67 mm?2.64 mm),6 of which showed broke off abruptly.Pancreas atrophy(6 cases),Calcification(4 cases),Dilation of main pancreatic duc(t7 cases),Pseudocys(t2 cases).In chronic pancreatitis group,pancreatic mass(2 cases),one of which showed no enhancement in the arterial phrase;Peripancreatic blood vessels was surrounded by Peripancreatic mass and the boundary between blood vessels and adipose was not clear(1 case);None of the cases was seen Peripancreatic blood vessels invasion;no liver metastasis or Lymph node metastasis.Dilation of common bile duc(t3 cases,7.53 mm?1.45 mm),one of which showed broke off abruptly.Pancreas atrophy(7 cases),Calcification(5 cases),Dilation of main pancreatic duct(7 cases,4.73 mm?3.04 mm),Pseudocyst(4 cases).Conclusion:Style of mass dynamic enhancement of pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis,Peripancreatic blood vessels invasion,liver metastasis,and lymph node metastasis are important basis of CT differentiation of pancreatic carcinoma coexisting with chronic pancreatitis from chronic pancreatitis.

Vav3 oncogene is a member of the Vav family. Vav3 protein contains multiple functional motifs and is involved in cancer development and progression through its role in various cellular signaling processes, including cytoskeleton organization, calcium influx, genetic transcription, cell transformation, proliferation and apoptosis. In addition, Vav3 interacts with estrogen receptor and enhances ERα-mediated signaling axis, therefore plays an important role in breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the clinical behavior and correlative mechanism of the patients with the syndrome of neck injury associate with craniocerebral injury,to investigate its incidence for contributing to the diagnosis and therapy of the patients with the craniocerebral injury and improving the postoperative result. Methods Two hundred and eighty-three patients with craniocerebral injury treated from June 2000 to July 2003 were studied retrospectively. Results In 283 patients, 42( 14.8%) patients presented the syndrome of neck injury clearly in symptom or sign, of whom 39 ( 13.7% ) patients were diagnosed neck injury finally, 3 (1.1%) patients were clinically conclude neck injury. The syndrome mainly presents with noncerebral and nonaural vertigo incorresponding with the recovery of brain injury. Noncerebral, nonaural and nondigestive vomit. Intractable nuchal rigidity incorresponding with the recovery of brain injury. Motion and position limited, stubborn neck malaise, transient spinal cord injury. The symptoms were easy to be improved by neck motion control, neck traction,block therapy, massage and physiotherapy lamp. Conclusion The syndrome of brain-neck injury is a common injury. To learn the syndrome and take the regular therapy can improve the therapeutic efficacy of the craniocerebral injury.

It expounded each point with relevant typical cases, with a purpose to provide references for applicants and agents of TCM invention patent application.

Antiplatelet therapy is a major strategy with a growing body of evidence in management of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.This article introduces the mechanism of currently available antiplatelet drugs as well as their practice guidelines and evidence from clinical trials.There is currently no robust evidence to support the use of venous antiplatelet agents.Aspirin is the sole evidence-based antiplatelet drug for treatment of acute ischemic stroke.Aspirin,dipyridamole and clopidogrel are effective in secondary stroke prevention.Combination therapy using aspirin plus extended-release dipyridamole is the only combination approach to demonstrate additive benefit.

Healthcare-associated pneumonia(HCAP)is a new concept defined by the 2005 American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America(ATS/IDSA)guidelines for the management of adults with hospital-acquired,ventilator-associated,and healthcare-associated pneumonia.In order to provide helpful advice for clinicians,this review recommends how to choose the site of treatment,general management strategies and initial empirical antibiotic therapy in patients with HCAP,and introduces some new antibiotics may be useful in treatment of HCAP.

Objective:To test the microtensile bonding strength between root canal wall and Bis-Core, and that between root canal wall and Chemil Superior glass-ionomer.Methods:10 human maxillary incisors extracted within one week were kept for another one week after root canal treatment and removeal of the crowns,each root was splited into two parts along with the long axis by Isomet saw, the bonding interface on one third of upside of root dentin smear layer was made with Diamond bur at a high-speed. Then Bis-Core and Chemil Superior glass-ionomer were put on root canal inner surface of each half part of the root respectively, samples with the size of 1.00 mm?1.00 mm were prepared by Isomet saw. Two samples in which bonding interface was perpendiculur to load were selected and fixed in Microtensile testing machine for bonding strength test. Results:Microtensile bonding strength(MPa) between Bis-Core and root canal inner wall and that between root canal inner wall and Chemil Superior glass-ionomer was 20.65?1.72 and 12.89?1.63 respectively(P
