Objective To evaluate the effect of preserving the intercostobrachial nerve(ICBN) during modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.Methods Preservation of ICBN during modified radical mastectomy was performed in 100 patients with stage Ⅰ or stage Ⅱ breast carcinoma.All patients were followed up after operation.Results Ninty-one patients had normal sensation of the skin of upper arm on operated side,while medial side paresthesia of the upper arm occurred in 9 cases within the postoperative follow up period.Conclusions Preserving the intercostobrachial nerve in modified radical mastectomy for patients with breast cancer can decrease the incidence of abnormal sensation of the skin of affected upper arm,and improve the quality of life of patients after operation.

Objective To observe the relationship between impaired glucose regulation(IGR)and the degree of atherosclerosis(AS)on Lacunar Infact(LI)patients.Methods A total of 83 patients with LI confirmed by CT or MRI were collected and divided into 3 groups by their fasting blood glucose,and their medical history and physical examination,the fasting blood lipid,acidum uricum and INI profile were evaluated with an automatic biochemistry machine.By employing a high resolution B-mode ultrasonography the intimae smoothness,intimae-media thickness(IMT)and plaque(s)were observed in bilateral common carotid arteries.Results The hypertension history,smoke history,waistline body mass index(BMI)and the atherosclerosis were all more marked in subjects with IGR than those in NGT(all P

Objective　To observe the influence of intravenous anesthesia with ketamine or propofol on intraocular pressure (IOP) in pediatric patients. Methods　27 pediatric patients, ASA grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, were divided into ketamine and propofol groups. Basic anesthesia was conducted with ketamine 4～6 mg*kg-1 combined droperidol 0.04～0.1 mg*kg-1 intramuscularly. Anesthesia maintained with continous infusion of 0.04% ketamine or 0.04% propofol following intravenous bolus of ketamine 1 mg*kg-1 or propofol 1 mg*kg-1 in ketamine group and propofol group respectively. IOP, systemic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), heart rate(HR) and pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2) were measured at 10 minutes after basic anesthesia, 3 minutes after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol and end of surgery. Results　There were no differences in IOP between two groups after basic anesthesia. IOP increased or decreased significantly after intravenous bolus of ketamine or propofol respectively. IOP in ketamine group decreased near to the level in propofol group at end of surgery. There were no statistic differences in SBP, DBP and HR between two groups priopration. SpO2 did not change (but in one patient decreasing to below 95% ) and significantly decreased within 5 minutes of intravenous bolus of ketamine and propofol respectively. Conclusion　Ketamine increases IOP propofol decreases IOP. Ketamine combined propofol can keep from increase of IOP but strength respiration inhibition.

Objective To study the allocation and requirements of ICU nurses in the intemal medicine department of National Medical Emergency Rescue Team,and explore more reasonable ICU nurses allocation method.Methods 40 patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 20 cases in each group.The control group adopted even allocation method,while the observation group allocated nurses according to ICU nursing evaluation system.The nursing effect was compared between two groups.Results ICU nursing score between two groups showed no significant difference,but the ICU indwelling time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group.Conclusions ICU nurses need higher comprehensive quality.ICU nursing evaluation system can facilitate the allocation of nurses.Better allocation and higher overall qualities of internal medicine ICU nurses can improve ICU treatment efficiency.

0.05). After operation about 50% cases (11/22) improved the menstrual dysfunction, and most cases avoid doing operation again in short period. Conclusion While cases chosen properly and adequate operative preparation, it is feasible and valuable to carry out cesarean section and myomectomy at the same time.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of insulin glargine in myocardium of diabetic rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC), diabetes mellitus group After 6 weeks, we weighed rats and calculated the heart body weight ratio (H/B), Immunohistochemical technique was used to estimate the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β_1) and the type-Ⅲ collagen (collagen Ⅲ). Myocardial pathologic changes were observed under expression of TGF-β_1 and collagen Ⅲ of DM group and DI group were significantly higher than those in NC group (P<0.05); the levels of H/B and the expression of TGF-β_1 and collagen Ⅲ of DI group were lower than myofibrils were arranged disorderly, mitochondria increased, with swelling and degeneration, while the changes of myocardial ultrastructure were obviously lightened after treatment with insulin glargine. Conclusion Insulin glargine may partly suppress the increased expression of TGF-β_1 and collagen Ⅲ in myocardial of diabetic rats, and it may decrease significantly the myocardial injury of diabetic rats.

ObjectiveTo investigate the roles of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 and 9 in herpes zoster (HZ).Methods Venous blood samples were collected from 40 patients with HZ and 16 normal human controls. Flow cyometrywas usedto detect the expressionsof TLR3and TLR9inperipheralblood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from these subjects.ResultsThe percentages of PBMCs expressing TLR3 and TLR9 were significantly higher in patients than in normal human controls(both P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of TLR3 and TLR9 in PBMCs were negatively correlated with the age of onset(r =-6.23,-5.88respectively,both P ＜ 0.01 ),but uncorrelated with gender or age.There was a significant difference in the expression levels of TLR3 and TLR9 in PBMCs between different age groups ( ＜ 40 years,40-50 years,＞ 50 years) of patients with HZ(F =3.410,P ＜ 0.01 ),with the strongest expression observed in patients younger than 40 years.ConclusionTLR3 and TLR9 may participate in the pathogenesis of HZ.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies from Shaanxi Institute of Ophthalmology have shown that ostrich cornea has the advantages to be developed into the alternatives of human corneal material.
OBJECTIVE:To determine the potential toxic effects of ostrich corneal stromal scaffold on cel s.
METHODS:Cel culture methods were used to culture L-929 cel s in the extracts of ostrich acel ular corneal
stroma which was dried and dehydrated. 3-(4,5)-Dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide assay was used to evaluate the growth and proliferation of cel s after cultured for 1, 2 and 3 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the cel s were cultured in the extracts of ostrich acel ular corneal stroma subjected to dryness and dehydration for 1, 3 and 5 days, and the toxicity level of cultured cel s was graded as level 1. The cytotoxicity test was conducted according to the“National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T16886.5-2003”.

the ostrich acel ular corneal stromal scaffold which was dried and dehydrated had level 1 of cytotoxicity and could be considered as a qualified material.

ObjectiveTo summarize the ultrasonic features of endometrial carcinoma in transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TVCDS), and to analyze the supplementary function of serum CA125and CA199in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma.MethodsFrom January 2006 to October 2012, fourteen thousand and twenty-seven women underwent TVCDS in GZ Women & Children Medical Centre, serum CA125 and CA199 were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The ultrasound characteristics of 131 cases of endometrial carcinoma (including 64 cases of early-stage and 67 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma) who were accurately diagnosed by pathology and the value of serum CA125 and CA199 were analyzed.ResultsIn groups 131 patients were accurately conifrmed by pathology, including 64 cases early-stage and 67 cases advanced carcinoma. The diagnositic coincidence of ultrasound and ultrasound combined with serum tumor markers was 56.3% (36/64) and 78.1% (50/64) respectively. On ultrasonography, 64 patients with early stage endometrial carcinoma showed uterine enlargement in 38 cases and endometrial thickening in 53 cases. In 9 cases, endometrial lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic. In 55 cases, the halo between endometrium and muscle was interrupted and disappeared. In 56 cases, endometrial lesions had muscular layer inifltration. In 13 cases, endometrial lesions had cervical inifltration. In 61 cases, sparse punctuate or reticular flow signals were detected within lesions. In 3 cases, there was no blood flow signal in lesions. All these patients had not lymph node metastasis. Sixty-seven cases with advanced endometrial carcinoma showed more obviously uterine enlargement and significant endometrial thickening. In 61 patients, tumor spread outside the uterus. Reticular or dendritic flow signals were detected in 67 cases lesions. There were hypoechoic lymph node mestastasis in 53 cases. In 31 cases of early stage endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA125 increased. In 27 cases of early stage endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA199 increased. In 24 cases CA125 and CA199 increased meanwhile. In 61 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA125 increased. In 59 cases of advanced endometrial carcinoma, preoperative CA199 increased. In 56 cases CA125 and CA199 increased meanwhile. Sixty-four cases of early-stage endometrial carcinoma were diagnosed by TVCDS assisted with CA125 and CA199 and were confirmed by pathology. The detective rate was 78.1% (50/64). To compared with TVCDS, the difference was statistical signiifcance (χ2=6.95,P=0.01).ConclusionsThe ultrasonic features of early-stage endometrial carcinoma in TVCDS were uterine enlargement, endometrial thickening, heterogeneous hypoechoic endometrial lesions, interrupted or disappeared hypoechoic halo between endometrium and musclar layer, and sparse punctuate or reticular flow signals within lesions. Serum CA125 and CA199 may be helpful in improving diagnosis coincidence rate when early-stage endometrial cancer is ifnd or suspected on ultrasonography.
