Objective To investigate the clinical application of ultrasound biomicroscopy in the treatment of congenital corneal opacities.Methods Medical records of 20 eyes (15 patients) with congenital corneal opacity treated at our hospital from July 2004 to November 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.Best corrected visual acuity testing,intraocular pressure testing,slit-lamp anterior segment examination,fundus examination,slit-lamp microscopic photography,B scan examination,and ultrasound biomicroscopy were performed for analysis of complications of congenital corneal opacity and selection of surgical approaches.Results The ultrasound biomicroscopic examination showed that 5 eyes had no Descemet's membrane and corneal endothelium,20 eyes had anterior synechia,5 eyes had aniridia,3 eyes had loss of lens cortex,13 eyes had cataract,14 eyes had closed angle,and 3 eyes had pupillary membrane.14 of 20 eyes received surgical treatment,including penetrating keratoplasty combined with cataract extraction and trabeculectomy (5 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with pupil angioplasty (3 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with cataract extraction (3 eyes),penetrating keratoplasty combined with trabeculectomy (2 eyes),and lamellar keratoplasty (1 eye).Conclusions Ultrasound biomicroscopy is important to guide the diagnosis and treatment of congenital corneal opacity.

Objective To evaluate the value of tomographic ultrasound imaging(TUI)in the fetal heart screening.Methods One hundred and ten volume datasets acquired from normal fetal heart in the second trimester with spatio-temporal image correlation(STIC) were evaluated offline with TUI. The Bmode and CDFI static images as well as the dynamic loops of one cardiac eycle could be reviewed simultaneously. The visualizing rate and ultrasonic scores of the 4 chamber view,outflow tracts and 3 vessels (and trachea)view obtained from TUI and routine ultrasonography for fetal heart screening were respectively compared. Results Among all 110 cases,the visualizing rate of 4 chamber view,outflow tracts and 3 vessels(and trachea) view were respectively 100%(67),88.9%(45),80.0%(45),84.4%(32)in Bmode and 100%(33),86.2%(25),50.0%(14),100%(4)in CDFI under the same fetal Dositi.n.No significant differences of the visualization rate were found between TUI and routine screening either in Bmode or in CDFI(P＞0.05). The median score of 4 chamber view of TUI in B-mode was little higher than that in routine screening,while the right outflow tract of screening in CDFI significantly higher than that of TUI(P＜0.05). Conclusions The visualizing rates and qualities of TUI are sufficient for fetal heart screening offline as well as routine ultrasonography online in second trimester.

Objective To explore the effect of different position replacement orders on single side effect of blue light treatment of neonatal jaundice.Methods 100 cases newborns requiring phototherapy were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group.The control group adopted conventional phototherapy position change sequence (horizontal position-lateral position-prone position),the observation group used the new position replacement order (prone position-lateral position-horizontal position).The resistance reaction of babies and treatment effect of phototherapy were observed in two groups.Results Significant difference existed in resistance reaction (cry loudly,milk refusal)and phototherapy effects between the observation group and the control group.Conclusions The position change order such as prone position-lateral position-horizontal position by neonates during phototherapy,can reduce resistance reaction and improve treatment effect.

Objective To provide basis for routine fetal cardiac screening by comparing the ultrasound detection rate of fetal heart defects between the high-risk and low-risk population.Methods According to the questionnaire about maternal risk factors,all 7165 pregnant women were divided into two groups.The high-risk group included 2147 cases and the remained 5018 were considered as low-risk population.Routine fetal heart screening was performed by the four-chamber view,left and right outflow tract views.If some cardiac malformations were found,the detailed fetal echocardiography would be performed.Both the detection rate of fetal cardiac defects and distribution of the relevant risk factors were analyzed.Results Ninty-five(1.33%)cases of congenital heart disease were found in our study,32(1.49%)cases from highrisk group and 63(1.26%)cases from low-risk group.No significant was found between the two groups (X2=0.635,P＞0.05).Karyotyping were performed prenatally in 23 of 95 fetal congenital defects cases by cordocentesis and chorionbiopsy,and 11(47.83%)cases of concomitant chromosomal abnormality were found.Conclusions Routine fetal screening for congenital fetal diseases should be performed in non-selected population for the similar detection rate of fetal defect in high-risk and low-risk group.

0.05). The main toxicity reactions were myelosuppression,gastrointestinal reactions,peripheral neurotoxicity and most of the patients can suffer that.

Objective The purpose of this article was to investigate the diagnostic value of CT and MRI in preoperative local staging for rectal cancer patients. Methods Forty rectal cancer patients were enrolled,and their preoperative CT and MRI staging and pathological staging in T and N were compared. Results The total diagnostic accordance rate of CT staging in T was 57.5%(31/40),among which the accordance rate of T1-2,T3 and T4 was 87.5%(35/40),83.25%(33/40) and 70%(28/40),respectively. The total diagnostic accordance rate of MRI staging in T was 77.5%(31/40), among which the accordance rate of T1-2, T3 and T4 was 92.5%(37/40), 77.5%(31/40) and 85%(34/40),respectively. The differences were tested by Chi-square test,and there were no significant differences between the two groups in T staging. The sensitivity of T staging by CT was 77.78%(7/9) for T1-2, 75% (12/16) for T3 and 93.33% (14/15) for T4. Compared with CT, the sensitivity of MRI was 66.67%(6/9) for T1-2, 81.25%(13/16) for T3 and 80%(12/15) for T4, and there were no significant differences between the two groups. The specificity of T staging by CT was 90.32% (28/31) for T1-2, 45.83%(11/24) for T3 and 96%(24/25) for T4. Compared with CT, the specificity of MRI was 100% (31/31) for T1-2, 75% (18/24) for T3 and 88%(22/25) for T4, and there was a significant difference in T3 specificity ( <0.05) . The total diagnostic accordance rate of CT staging in N was 82.5% (33/40),among which the rate of N- and N+was 82.5%(33/40) and 82.5%(33/40), respectively. The total diagnostic accordance rate of MRI staging in N was 62.5%(25/40),among which the rate of N- and N+was 62.5% (25/40) and 62.5%(25/40), respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups in pelvic N staging ( < 0.05) . The sensitivity of N staging by CT was 75.00%for N- (18/24) and 81.25%(13/16) for N+. Compared with CT,the sensitivity of MRI was 75.00%(18/24) for N- and 43.75%(7/16) for N+,and there were significant differences between the two groups ( <0.05) . The specificity of N staging by CT was 81.25% (13/16) for N- and 83.33%(20/24) for N+. Compared with CT, the specificity of MRI was 43.75% (7/16) for N- and 75.00%(18/24) for N+, and there were significant differences between the two groups ( <0.05) . Conclusion MRI has a high reliability in diagnosing rectal cancer with penetrating through the muscularis propria into the placenta percreta or not, but CT is superior in diagnosing the lymphonodus metastasis.

Objective]To discuss the effect of sciatic nerve injury on the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-10(IL-10)in anterior cingulate cortex(ACC),and further to explain their roles resided in the development of neuropathic pain.[Method]With use of the methods of behavioral test,western blot and immunohistochemistry, we examine the effects of spared sciatic nerve injury(SNI)on the expressions of TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-10 in ACC,and observe the effect of the neutralizing antibody of TNF-α,IL-1β on the rat mechanical allodynia.[Result]In present experiment ,SNI increased the protein levels of TNF-α,IL-10,but not IL-1β in ACC. Increased TNF-α-IR and IL-10-IR in ACC is located in neurons ,but not astrocytes and microglia at 7 d following L5-VRT. Pre-treatment with anti-TNFα antibody but not anti-IL-1βantibody into ACC significantly increased the rat paw withdrawal threshold to von Frey hairs.[Conclusion]These data suggested that the increased TNF-αin ACC neurons might be responsible for the development of neuropathic pain.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between nasal obstruction score, Lund-Mackay score,congestion index and tissue remodeling degree of nasal mucosa in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) and to study the role of diagnosing remodeling.METHODS Forty-three patients with CRS who underwent endoscopic surgery were studied.Congestion index of nasal mucosa was obtained by acoustic rhinometry.Nasal obstruction score was obtained by visual analogue scale.CT score was obtained by Lund-Mackay.The mucosa specimen of uncinate process from nasal cavity of the patients was used to evaluate the fibrosis degree.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS11.5.RESULTS Nasal obstruction and Lund-Mackay score had no correlation with fibrosis degree of mucosa(r=0.77,P=0.40),whereas congestion index of nasal mucosa had a negative correlation with fibrosis degree of mucosa(r=-0.348, P=0.022).CONCLUSION Nasal congestion index can reflect the degree of remodeling in submucosal tissue.Nasal congestion index with obstruction symptoms and CT scan can be used to guide the CRS treatment strategies.
