Objective To determine the changes in action potential peak value and maximal nerve conduction velocity of rabbit sciatic nerve after being exposed to different doses of high intensity ultrasound (HIU) and establish the experimental basis for the use of HIU in patients with refractory pain. Methods Eighty New Zealand white rabbits of either sex weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, aged 5-10 months were randomly divided into four groups with 20 rabbits in each group :group Ⅰ 0 second;group Ⅱ 15 seconds;group Ⅲ 25 seconds and group Ⅳ 50 seconds. The animals were anesthetized and placed in the prone position. Sciatic nerves were exposed to 4 different doses of HIU (7.1 MHz, 40 W/cm2 f55 0 s, 15 s, 25 s, 50 s) in the four groups. The animals were allowed to recover. At 5 intervals (1 and 2 weeks, 1, 3 and 6 months) after exposure to HIU, 4 animals in each group were anesthetized and recording electrodes were placed on sciatic nerves at 2 cm distal to the site of HIU radiation, tibial and sural cutaneous nerves. The amplitude (peak value) and latency of action potential and maximal conduction velocity of the nerves were recorded. Sciatic nerves were obtained from one of the four animals for light and electron microscopic examination. Results The larger was the dose of HIU, the more time was needed for the injuried nerve to recover. In group Ⅰ (0 s) there were no significant changes in action potential peak value and maximal nerve conduction velocity at any interval after exposure to HIU;in group Ⅱ (15 s) there were slight changes in the electrophysiological parameters and the changes recorded on tibial nerve returned to normal soon while those recorded on sural cutaneous nerve returned to normal one month later; in group Ⅲ (25 s) there were significant changes in the electrophysiological parameters and it took 3 months for tibial nerve but 6 months for sural cutaneous nerve to recover;in group Ⅳ (50s) the nerves were completely blocked, no action potential was recorded and no recovery was observed after 6 months. Light and electron microscopic examination showed that in group 1 no significant changes of nerves were observed; in group Ⅱ there was slight deformation of myelin sheath which returned to normal 2 weeks later; in group Ⅲ sheath was broken or lost, and axon degeneration was observed at 1 week after exposure to HIU and the changes disappeared 1 month later; in group Ⅳ necrosis of the nerve was observed and no recovery was observed 6 months later. Conclusion HIU can be used for the treatment of refractory pain. Analgesia can be achieved with loss of only part of motor function. The nerve can be permanently blocked by HIU if necessary.

Objective To study the clinicopathological significance of Skp2 and E2F1 in the rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma and chronic sinusitis. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Skp2 and E2F1 in the routinely paraffin-embed-ded sections of specimens from patients with rhinosinus squamoas cell carcinoma (n=49), chronic sinusitis (n=28). Results The expres-sive positive rates and scores of Skp2 and E2F1 in rhinosinus sqnamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in chronic sinusitis (P<0.01). The expression positive rates and scores were significantly decreased in middle-differentiated rhinosinus squamous cell carcino-ma. The maximal diameter of mass was less than 3cm, and no-metastasis of lymphnode or no-infiltration of regional rhinosinus can be found in T1N0M0. While in the low-differentiated rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma, the maximal diameter of mass was larger than 3cm, and metasta-sis of lymphnode or infiltration of regional rhinosinus can be found(T3N1M0,T3N2M0) (P<0.01). The closely positive correlation was found between the expression of Skp2 and E2F1 in the rhinosinus squamoas cell carcinoma. Conclusions Skp2 and E2F1 might be important biologi-cal markers for carcinogenesis, progression, biological behaviors and prognosis of rhinosinus squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of determination of the serum levels of brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The clinical data of 60 cases with AMI and 50healthy controls were analyzed retrospectively.The BNP and hs-CRP levels were analyzed in AMI and Killip class,and their relationship with prognosis was investigated.Results The serum levels of BNP,hs-CRP and creatine kinase (CK)-MB) were higher in AMI group than in control group (all P＜0.05),and the levels were lowered after treatment (P＜0.05).The correlation analysis indicated that BNP and hs-CRP had positive correlations with CK-MB (r=0.892 and 0.683,all P＜0.05),and increased along with the severity of Killip classification.The 8 cases (13.3 % ) died,and single factor analysis revealed that BNP (≥56.1 pmol/L),hs-CRP (≥9.0 mg/L),CK-MB (≥75.1 U/L) and Killip classification (grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ) were the poor prognostic factors (P＜0.05).Conclusions The elevation of BNP and hs-CRP level is correlated with the severity of AMI,and could be used to evaluate the AMI patients' diagnosis and prognosis.

Objective To analyze the CT and MRI features of pancreatic serous micro-cystic cystadenoma (SMCA).Methods CT and MRI data of 17 patients with SMCA confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Tumor's location,diameter,septation,contrast-enhancement features,calcification,central scar, and the extent of pancreaticobiliary duct dilatation were recorded.Results Seventeen patients were enrolled.10 underwent CT,6 underwent MR(2 patients also underwent MRCP), and 1 underwent both CT and MR.Tumors were located at pancreatic head in 2 cases,neck in 2 cases,and body/tail in 13 cases.Lesion size ranged from 1.7 cm to 14 cm with an average of 5.2 cm.Septation was seen in 16 cases.Central scar was seen in 9 cases Septation and scar were enhanced and cystic component was not enhanced on contrast enhancement.6 patients presented the main pancreaticduct dilation.Conclusion Pancreas SMCA has certain imaging features.It is always manifested as lobulated mass with multiple small capsules(<2 cm) and fiber separations.The fiber separation enhance significantly,but lower than normal pancreatic tissue.Central scar is the characteristic manifestation of SMCA, and it manifests iso or slightly lower signal on T1WI and T2WI.Typical SMCA can be diagnosed according to the CT and MR imaging manifestations.

Objective:To study the clinical manifestations and treatment of the primary cervical tracheal malig-nant tumor of children. Method:Five cases diagnosed as primary tracheal malignant tumor with fibrolaryngoscopy, CT scan and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and reviewed. Extraction of malignant tumor was performed with tracheoscope and nasal endoscope after emergent tracheotomy below the tumor in 4 cases, and tracheotomy after intubation in 1 case. After operation, 4 children received radiotherapy, and 1 case received laser therapy add radiotherapy. Result:Five cases were followed up for three to eight years, and no recurrence was found. Conclu-sion: There was no specific manifestation in early tracheal malignant tumor, but it was critical and emergent during symptoms appear. Imaging examination was a very invaluable dignosis method. Optimal and effective therapeutic protocol is tracheostomy under local anesthesia to keep upper airway patency followed by surgical extraction and radiotherapy. It was not appropriate to have tracheal wall resection for children.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy(EMC) in the treatment of gallstone. Methods The clinical data of 86 patients with gallbladder stone treated by EMC were analyzed retrospectively.Of them, 63 cases were follwed-up and studied. Results All eighty-six patients were successfully operated on and discharged, no operative complications occurred. Among 63 patient being followed up for 1～3 years,the recurrence rate of gallbladder stones was 3.2%(2/63). No recurrence was noted in 46 patients with single gallstone. In the other seventeen patients with multiple stones, gallstone recurrence was found in 2 patients, the recurrence rate was 11.8%(2/17). Conclusions If selection of the operation idications are strict, endoscope assisted microincision cholelithotomy for treatment of gallstone is simple, safe, effective and less trauma, and can preserves the function of gallbladder, but it can not replace the cholecystectomy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of PCT and neutrophil CD64 contents with the effect of hormone therapy and complications in the patients with primary nephrotic syndrome.Methods Sixty-five patients with primary nephrotic syndrome in our hospital from September 2015 to September 2016 were selected as the research subjects,all cases were treated with hormonal therapy,the serum levels of PCT and neutrophil CD64 were detected and their relationship with the curative effect and complications of nephrotic syndrome was analyzed.Results According to the PCT and neutrophil CD64 median levels,the cases were divided into the high level group and low level group,the results found that serum creatinine,serum protein,urine protein and pathological types had no statistical difference between the high level group and low level group.The hormone sensitivity had 15 cases in the patients with high PCT level,which was significantly lower than 21 cases in the patients with low PCT level;the hormone sensitivity had 14 cases in the patients with high neutrophil CD64 level,acute renal failure,infection and thrombus in the patients with high PCT level had 8,10,6 cases,which were significantly lower than those in the patients with low PCT level;acute renal failure,infection and thrombus in the patients with high neutrophil CD64 level had 7,11,6 cases,which were significantly higher than those in the patients with low neutrophil CD64 level (P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum PCT and neutrophil CD64 are significantly correlated with the therapeutic effect and clinical prognosis in the patients with nephrotic syndrome.

Objective To obtain conversion formulae of cyclosporine test results between TDX and AXSYM system and evaluate the influence of different sample diluents in over-range samples on AXSYM system.Methods One hundred samples with different concentration were analyzed by TDX and AXSYM system, respectively. The results were compared. Fifty over-range samples were diluted with prepared diluents such as whole blood, phosphate buffer, self-prepared diluents and zero point calibrator and then analyzed on AXSYM system.Results There was a significant difference in the results between TDX and AXSYM system. Reasonable formulae were concluded based on different concentration ranges. Results obtained by using whole blood and phosphate buffer as diluents differed from that got by using zero point calibrator. In contrast, there was no significant difference between self-prepared diluents and zero point calibrator.Conclusion The conversion formulae are helpful to evaluate the variation of the results while the analysis system was changed. Self-prepared diluents could be used to replace zero point calibrator as sample diluents.
