Objective To investigate the value of dynamic transperineal ultrasound in women with chronic proctalgia.Methods A prospective study was described.Women met the diagnostic criteria of chronic proctalgia were included.Patients were submitted to dynamic transperineal ultrasound.Bladder neck descent(BND),retrovesical angle(RVA),anorectal angle,rectocele and other indicators were observed at rest and during maximal Valsalva.Results A total of 33 patients with chronic proctalgia were included.BND was 1.1-27.5 (13.21 ± 7.77)mm,4 of which were more than 25 mm.The RVA were greater than 140 ° in 8 patients during Valsalva maneuver.Six cases were diagnosed with cystourethrocele and 5 cases were diagnosed with isolated cystocele.Anorectal angles were 82.6-134.0 (113.12 ± 10.95) ° at rest and 77.6-123.0 (110.10 ± 13.28) ° during Valsalva respectively,there was no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Fourteen cases were found rectocele with the depth 1.2-1.7 (1.38 ±-0.17)cm;14 cases were found rectal intussusceptions,7 of which were associated with rectocele,2 of which were associated with rectocele and enterocele.Conclusions Dynamic transperineal ultrasound can show the whole pelvic floor anatomy in female patients with chronic proctalgia to evaluate the pelvic floor function and detect other functional disorders.

Objective To investigate the value of the three-dimensional endorectal ultrasonography (3D-ERUS) in the tumor staging before transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM).Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with rectal cancer who underwent 3D-ERUS before TEM at the Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of the 3D-ERUS were evaluated according to the results of the postoperative pathological examination.The consistency of the results of the 3D-ERUS and postoperative pathological examination were compared by Kappa consistency test.Results Of 30 patients,25 patients in stage T0,3 in stage T1 and 2 in stage T2 were diagnosed by preoperative 3D-ERUS.There were 2 patients (stage pT0) with inflammatory polyp by postoperative pathological diagnosis,6 patients (stage pT0) with tubular adenoma,16 patients (stage pT0) with villioustublar adenoma,2 patients (stage pTis) with carcinoma in situ,2 patients (stage pT1) with tectal adenoma and 2 patients (stage pT2) with rectal adenoma.There were 2 patients with excessive tumor staging by 3D-ERUS,1 patient in stage pT0 was misdiagnosed in stage T1,1 in stage pT1 was misdiagnosed in stage T2 and 1 in stage pT2 was misdiagnosed in stage T1 with insufficient tumor staging.The accuracy of 3D-ERUS in the preoperative tumors staging of TEM was 90.0％ compared with the resuls of postoperative pathological examination.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of 3D-ERUS in stage pT0,pTl,and pT2 of TEM were 96.7％,90.0％,93.3％ and 96.2％,50.0％,50.0％ and 100.0％,92.8％,96.4％,respectively.There was a significant difference in the consistency between preoperative 3D-ERUS and postoperative pathological examination (κ =0.685,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion 3D-ERUS is an accurate clinical method in the preoperative tumors staging of TEM,and can be used as the preoperative assessment for TEM.

Objective To evaluate the agreement between dynamic transperineal ultrasound (DTP-US)and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging defecography (DMRD) in the diagnosis of rectocele,and to compare the correlation and difference between the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD.Methods The clinical data of 18 female patients with rectocele who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from September 2011 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients received examination via DTP-US and DMRD,and the agreement of the 2 diagnosing methods was analysed.The accurate rates of the detection of other pelvic floor abnormalities by the 2 methods were calculated.The agreement of DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele was analysed by Cohen's kappa test.The difference of the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD was compared by paired samplet test,and the correlation of the depth of rectocele measured by DTP-US and DMRD was analyzed by using the Pearson correlation coefficient.Results Of the 14 patients diagnosed by DTP-US,there were 7 patients with bladder prolapse,5 with unrelaxed pelvic floor,2 with uterine prolapse,2 with rectal internal mucous intussusception and 1 with enterocele; of the 18 patients diagnosed by DMRD,there were 12 patients with bladder prolapse,8 with unrelaxed pelvic floor,8 with uterine prolapse,6 with rectal internal mucous intussusception and 1 with enterocele.The agreement coefficient between DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele was obvious (κ =0.737,P ＜ 0.05).The depth of the rectocele detected by DTP-US and DMRD were (15 ±6)mm (range,7-24 mm) and (27 ±7)mm (range,20-41 mm),with significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-16.124,P ＜0.05).There was a high coefficient between DTP-US and DMRD in detecting the depth of rectocele (| r | =0.874,P ＜ 0.05).The depth of rectocele detected by DMRD increased as the increase of depth of rectocele detected by DTP-US (| r | =1.000,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The agreement between DTP-US and DMRD in diagnosing rectocele is high.The depth of rectocele measured by the 2 methods not only has statistically significance,but also exists a high degree of correlation.While DTP-US is superior to DMRD in terms of quick diagnosis and better telerance of patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of allogenic intra-bone marrow bone marrow transplantation (IBM-BMT) on re-establishing hematopoiesis in mice. Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNCs) from BALB/ c mice were transplanted into the C57BL/6 mice treated with a lethal dose of ~(60)Coγ-ray radiation through intra-bone marrow injection or intravenous injection. Sixty of the C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups as higher dose intra-bone marrow injection group (IBM1 group), lower dose intra-bone marrow injection group (IBM2 group) and intravenous injection group (IV group). The nucleated cell numbers of whole bone marrow from the tibia of each recipient mouse were counted respectively at the day 1, day 3, day 6 and day 9 after the transplantation. The donor-derived total nucleated cells and myeloid cells were quantified by flow cytometry. Results At 6th day after transplantation, more total bone marrow nucleated cells, total donor-derived nucleated cells and donor-derived myeloid cells in the tibia of injected side in both IBM1 group and IBM2 group were found than that in IV group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Compared with traditional bone marrow transplantation (IV-BMT),IBM-BMT improves the bone marrow hematopoiesis in the early hematopoietic re-establishing stage in allogenic bone marrow transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of pelvic floor sEMG in pelvic floor dyssynergia (PFD) by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). Methods The pelvic floor sEMG of 90 patients with PFD and 101normal controls were determined by the Glazer protocol.Parameters including amplitude (AVG),coefficient of variance (CV),onset time and median frequency (MF),and the ROC curve werealso investigated. Results Compared to the control group,the PFD group had a higher AVG of pre-baseline (P < 0.05), a lower AVG during Flick and Tonic steps(P < 0.05), and ahigher CV duringTonic and Endurance steps(P < 0.05).The area under curve(AUC) of CV duringthe tonic step was 0.883 withthe best cut-off of 0.355, and with sensitivity of 88.4%and the specificity of 71.1%, respectively; The AUC of CV duringEndurance step was 0.825 withthe best cut-off of 0.305, and with the sensitivity of 84.9%and the specificity of 67.8% , respectively. Conclusion The CVs of the tonic and the endrnace phases can be used as valuable clinical values in diagnosis of PFD.

To investigate whether human umbilical cord plasma (HUP) can be used to culture human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs), we collected 20 surplus HUP. After being treated with salting out and diasysis, the HUP were used to culture HUCMSCs as 10% volume, and compared with fetal bovine serum (FBS). Morphological characteristics, growth curve and reproductive activity of HUCMSCs cells were observed. The concentration of bFGF and noggin secreted by HUCMSCs cultured with HUP and FBS medium were detected by ELISA. It was found that compared to FBS, the morphology, reproductive activity and characteristic of HUCMSCs cell cultured with HUP were not distinctively different from FBS. The concentration of bFGF in HUP group was significantly higher than that of FBS group, and the concentration of noggin was also different in the two groups. So we concluded that HUP could be used to culture HUCMSCs for a long-time, and the HUP mediumcoild could be more suitable for the culture of human embryonic stem cell (hESC).

Objective To observe the influence of recombinant human thyrotropin(rhTSH)on serum concentration of endogenous thyrotropin(TSH), free triiodothyronine(FT3), free thyroxine(FT4), thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb), and thyroglobulin(Tg). To evaluate the efficacy of rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC). Methods The study recruitment took place between November 2007 and March 2009. 62 patients(including 45 females)with biopsy confirmed DTC had undergone total or nearly total thyroidectomy, and received 131I treatment. 31 patients(including 22 females), median age of 45 years(23-72), received radioiodine treatment 4 weeks after L-thyroxine(T4)withdrawal. The other 31 patients(including 23 females), median age of 44 years(14-70), underwent rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment. Before and after rhTSH injection, serum TSH, FT3, FT4, TGAb, and thyroglobulin were tested. Post-radiotherapy whole body scan was performed 5 to 7 days after radioiodine treatment and qualitatively and blindly evaluated by two nuclear medicine physicians. Follow-up took place 6 to 12 months after radioiodine treatment. The efficacy of rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment was evaluated by whole body scan with diagnostic dose radioiodine. SPSS 13.0 statistical software was applied. Results (1)Before and after rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment, the serum TSH was(1.08±4.01)vs(140.26±27.20)mIU/L(P＜0.05), thyroglobulin(23.75±132.92)vs(169.58±178.49)μg/L(P＜0.05), FT3(4.52±1.16)vs(4.42±1.11)pmol/L(P＞0.05), and FT4(15.09±5.83)vs(13.66±5.85)pmol/L(P＞0.05),respectively.(2)rhTSH-aided radioiodine ablation treatment had the same effect as L-T4withdrawal aided. The complete response ratio was 77.4% vs 71.0%(P＞0.05)by radioiodine whole body scan of diagnostic dose. Conclusion rhTSH-aided radioiodine treatment of DTC was effective and safe, and did at least at equivalent degree as did L-T4withdrawal. Furthermore, Serum thyroglobulin level could be effectively stimulated by rhTSH with tumor relapse or metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effects of PM2.5 on tear film function and corneal epithelial structure in mice.Methods Totally 24 male BALB/c mice (24 eyes) were divided into two groups:group A (with PBS eye drops,n =12),group B (5 mg · mL-1 PM2.5 eye drop group,n =12).PBS and PM2.5 eye drop were given with four times per day for 7 consecutive days in right eye.Tear secretion level was measured with phenol red thread.Break-up time (BUT) of tear film was tested,and corneal fluorescein staining (FL) was scored before therapy and 1 day,4 days and 7 days after droppings and HE staining was performed 7 days after droppings,respectively.Results There was no significant difference in the tear secretion levels,BUT,FL between the groups A and B before treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).At 4 days,7 days after treatment with PM2.5,the mean differences of the group B showed all items significantly changed compared with those before treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).For the group A,there was no statistical change in tear secretion levels,BUT,FL at 7 days after treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).There were statistical differences in all items between group A and B at each time point (all P ＜ 0.05).At 7 days after therapy,the mean layers of corneal epithelial cells in the group A (4 ± 1) was significantly lower than that in the group B (7 ±l) (P ＜0.05).The group B showed that the whole corneal fluorescein staining obviously increased,and corneal epithelial cell layer was thickened.Conclusion PM2.5 can influence tears film function and damage the corneal epithelial structure in mice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between Dicer expression and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis by detecting the expression of Dicer in hilar cholangiocarcinoma tissues and cells.MethodsThe expression of Dicer in tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry.Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to investigate Dicer expression in QBC939 and HIBEpic cells.The relationship between Dicer expression and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.A Kaplan-Maier analysis was performed to analyze the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after radical surgical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.ResultsWhen compared to control,Dicer was significantly down-regulated in hilar cholangiocarcinoma tissues (P＜0.05) and in QBC939 (P＜0.05).The expression of Dicer was higher in well differentiated adenocarcinoma than poorly and moderately differentiated tumours. Univariate analysis showed low expression of Dicer protein was significantly correlated with short disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after radical surgical resection (P＜0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that the expression of Dicer was the most important factor for predicting prognosis after radical surgical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (P＜0.05).ConclusionsDicer could be used as a prognostic marker for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
