OBJECTIVE To make a new sterilizer to disinfect the instruments used for the root pulp treatment.METHODS After studying the SL sterilizer used in Japan,a new sterilizer was made.Studied how long the sterilizer could be used after putting through the electric.The effect of it was compared with the Eurouda sterilizer E6-18/24 by the method of culturing the bacteria.RESULTS 208.8 seconds after putting through the electric,the sterilizer could be used to sterilize the apparatus.And the effect of the new sterilizer was the same as the Eurouda sterilizer E6-18/24.CONCLUSIONS The effect of the sterilizer is testified,and the sterilizer could be used for the root pulp treatment instruments.

Objective To investigate the appearance of solid papillary carcinoma (SPC)of breast on MRI and mammography correlated with histopathological features.Methods Fifteen patients with breast SPC diagnosed from January 2011 to January 2013 were enrolled.Their MR and mammography imaging findings were retrospectively reviewed,15 patients had MRI and 11 patients had mammography.The correlation between pathological characteristics and imaging findings was made.Results All the SPC displayed a solid-papillary growth pattern together with Luminal A type,and 14 cases showed neuroendocrine markers.On mammography,only three cases showed the abnormality.The most frequently seen MRI feature was its location in the posterior of areola (11 cases),ductal ectasia on T1WI (11 cases) and high signal intensity on T2WI.The enhancement patterns included non-mass-like enhancement (10 cases),mostly manifested as ductal with clumped enhancement (5 cases) and segmental with pebble shaped enhancement (4 cases),whereas mass-like enhancement (5 cases) exhibited as annular heterogeneous enhancement.Conclusions SPC is difficult to detect on mammography,but the MRI features may suggest its distinct histological type as papillary tumor.The ultimate diagnosis still depends on histopathology and immunohistochemical results.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for medication and chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer. METH-ODS:Through retrospective study,case histories and doctor’s advice of the colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in our hospital during 2011-2014 were consulted to analyze the chemotherapy,medication and irrational drug use. RESULTS:A total of 593 cases of colorectal cancer patients with chemotherapy frequency of 1 940 times were collected to analyze the choice of che-motherapy regimen mainly from the following aspects:indications of chemotherapy,choice of chemotherapy regimen,chemothera-py process and chemotherapy period. There was 409 cases of irrational drug use according to the analysis of drug dosage,selection of solvents and drug concentration,the unqualified rate was 21.08% . CONCLUSIONS:The medication and chemotherapy in pa-tients with colorectal cancer in our hospital are basically rational,but there are still certain problems and shortcomings. In future clinical applications,the medication and chemotherapy need to be improved.

infC gene encodes the translation initiation factor IF3 in bovine Pasteuella multocida,but it whether or not regulation to the virulence and cross-protection in P.multocida is still not well understood.In this study,the infC gene mutant(△infC)derived from bovine P.multocida type A strain CQ2 was constructed using by homologous recombination method.Compared with wild strain,the △infC showed significant increasing in biofilm formation,but the capsule produc-tion,virulence and bacterial loading in organs were significant decreased,and the IL-1β secretion of mouse peritoneal macrophage increased.Along with the infC gene deletion,the expression of genes related to capsule synthesis and LPS synthesis and transport were significantly down-regulated,while that of genes related to biofilm synthesis and outer membrane protein were significantly up-regulated.The inactivated vaccines of wild type and mutant were prepared and mice were immu-nized twice then challenged with wild type strains,respectively.The immuno-protection rate of△in fC inactivated vaccine against bovine P.multocida type A,B and F were 100.0％,83.3％and 0.0％,respectively,and the immuno-protection rate that against rabbit type P.multocida was 33.3％.The results indicated that infC gene could affect the virulence of P.multocida by regula-ting the production of capsule and the expressions of virulence related factors,and the deletion of infC gene conferred a certain cross-protection property of strains.This study provided a certain foundation for the development of P.multocida vaccine.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the characteristics of background parenchymal enhancement(BPE)in the contralateral breast following neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)and whether BPE could help predict tumor response in early stage of advanced breast cancer. Methods Data from 161 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer and then underwent NAC before surgery were analyzed retrospectively from August 2014 to December 2016.All the patients underwent both bilateral breast MRI scan with contrast enhancement. Two experienced radiologists independently categorized the patients' levels of BPE into four categories (1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=marked) at baseline and after the 2nd cycle of NAC. All the patients were divided in to pathologic complete response (pCR) group and non-pCR group according to the histopathologic tumour response.The status of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) were recorded before underwent NAC.The t test and Pearson chi-squared test were used to compare the baseline characteristics of the pCR and Non-pCR groups.The kappa test was used to test the inter-observer agreement.The Wilcoxon test was used to test for changes of BPE categories after NAC.The Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the difference of BPE between pre-and post-menopausal status. Associations were evaluated using Binary logistic regression models. Results Fifty nine patients achieved pCR, and 102 patients had residual disease (non-pCR). Age, tumor size, distribution of size, menopausal status and lymph node showed no significance between pCR and non-pCR groups(all P>0.05),while only ER/PR status and HER2 status had a significant difference (P>0.05 in both). Inter-observer agreement regarding BPE categorization was moderate and substantial before and after NAC(Kappa value 0.644 and 0.708).The level of BPE was higher in premenopausal than post-menopausal women both at baseline and after the 2nd cycle of NAC(P<0.01). Decreased BPE was observed in 106 cases(premenopausal 60 cases and postmenopausal 46 cases),and no change in BPE were observed in 55 cases (premenopausal 27 cases and postmenopausal 28 cases). A significant reduction in BPE was observed after the 2nd NAC cycle in the overall cases, pre-and post-menopausal cases (all P<0.01). Logistic model showed that hormonal receptor (HR) negative and HER-2 receptor at baseline and the change of BPE after NAC were the independent factors for predicting pCR. Conclusions Regardless of the menopausal status, BPE showed a reduction after NAC, and it can serve as an additional imaging biomarker of tumour response at an early stage of NAC.
