Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of low field MRI for adenomyosis. Methods MRI features of adenomyosis pathologically proved in 18 cases were retrospectively analysed.Results 15 cases were diffusive adenomyosis,the junctional zones of uterus were exteusive thickened to 12.0～32.6 mm,mean 16.2 mm,diffusive high signal intensity distributed over in myometrium which was low signal intensity in 11 cases,it was typical “snowing sign”,lower signal intensity in the myometrium in another 4 cases on T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging. A little high signal intensity was found in 6 cases on T 1WI. 3 cases were focal adenomyosis(adenomyoma), 4 lesions totally. The adenomyoma’s boundaries were not distinct and their shapes were roundish or irregular. The lesions were low signal intensity or diffusive high signal intensity distributed in the low signal intensity fields on T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging. A little high signal intensity was found in 2 lesions on T 1WI. Conclusion T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging of low field MRI are very useful techniques of the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Purpose:To observe the response and tolerance to the regimen of etoposide,folinic acid and fluorouracil (ELF) in advanced gastric cancer. Methods:Thirty two patients with advanced gastric cancer received chemotherapy of ELF regimen(VP 16 100 mg iv d 1—3 ,CF 100—300 mg iv d 1—3,5 FU 750 1 000 mg iv d 1—3 Results:The overall response rate was 37.5% (12/32) and complete response rate was 3.1% (1/31), the partial response rate was 33.4% (11/32). The main toxicity was myelosuppression and alopecia. Leukopenia was observed in 81.6% of the patients, but grade 3 and 4 in only 12.5%. Anemia and throbopenia was observed in 21.8% and 35.1% of the patients respectively, alopecia in 100%. Other side effects were uncommon. Conclusions:This study shows that the regimen of ELF is effective and tolerable for treatment of advanced gastric cancer. [

[Objective]To discuss the functional mechanism of Qufeng Xuanbi(remove wind and apoplexy)Formula(Pingxiao Heji) on bronchia asthma.[Method]Make bronchia asthma animal model with guinea pig sensitized by egg albumen,treat it with Qufeng Xuanbi Formula,observe the changes of cell adhesion molecular(ICAM-1)in animal plasma.[Result]When experimental guinea pig was attacked by asthma,the ICAM-1 was obviously more than that in normal control group,the formula could markedly lower ICAM-1(95% of the believable zone 20.387～53.834u/ml)(P

Objective To evaluate the serum changes in glioma patients, and in relations with clinicopathalogy parameters response to treatment and survival in patients with glioma via the examination of the significance of serum VEGF, Flt-1 and KDR levels. Methods Serum VEGF,Flt-1 and KDR levels were analyzed in patients of glioma before and after treatment, and patients with brain metastasis, as well as in healthy controls. Serum VEGF, Flt-1 and KDR levels were assessed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) and the data were processed by SPSS 11.5 for t-test and relevant analyses. Results Serum VEGF, Flt-1 and KDR levels were higher in patients with glioma than in healthy control (P =0.001, P =0.043 and P =0.045 respectively). Significant difference on levels of VEGF was found (P =0.032) comparing glioma group with brain metastasis group. The pretherapeutic serum levels of VEGF and Flt-1 were significantly different with disease recurrence or persistence after treatment (P =0.026 and P =0.038). There was significant correlation between the serum levels of VEGF correlated and that of Flt-1 and KDR (r =0.456 P

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of a Levofloxacin-containing 10-day sequential therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication.Methods Totally 86 Helicobacter pylori-infected patients with chronic gastritis or peptic ulcer diagnosed by gastroscopy were randomized into two groups: the trial group and the control group (n =43 in each group).The trial group was treated with Esomeprazole 20 mg bid plus Amoxicillin 1000 mg bid at the first 5 days,and followed by Esomeprazole 20 mg bid,Levofloxacin 500 mg qd and Furazolidone 100 mg bid,at the last 5 days;The control group was treated with standard triple regimen: Esomeprazole 20 mg,Amoxicillin 1000 mg and Clarithromycin 500 mg,all bid for 7 days.The eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori in the two groups were compared after completion of treatment.ResultsAfter treatment,the eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori were significantly different between the trial and control group(93.0％ vs 74.4％,P ＜0.05)Conclusion The 10-day sequential therapy with.Levofloxacin-containing regime can achieve a higher eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Objective To detect and analyze the levels of preoperative serum carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and CA15-3 in early invasive breast cancer patients and their correlation with pathological parameters. Methods Electrochemical luminescence immunoassay (ECLI) technology was used to detect serum levels of CEA and CA15-3 in 223 cases of early invasive breast cancer patients, 109 patients with benign lesions, and 30 cases of heath control. Immunohistochemical (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used to detect the estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone recepter (PR), and its HER-2 pathological indicators.Besides, the correlation of serum CA15-3, CEA levels and pathological parameters was analyzed. Results The serum CA15-3 and CEA levels of Breast cancer patients [(22.27±15.11) U/ml, (5.03± 0.49) μg/L] were significantly higher than that of patients in benign lesion group [(14.13±3.04) U/ml, (2.72± 0.11) μg/L] (P< 0.05). CEA level of patients with histological grade Ⅲ was (6.34 ±0.93) μg/L, significantly higher than the level Ⅰ-Ⅱ (4.23±0.50) μg/L (P< 0.05). CA15-3 level was (19.26±15.08) U/ml in T1 tumors, and CA15-3 level was (28.73 ±11.53) U/ml in T2 tumors (P<0.05). The serum levels of CEA and CA15-3 between different histology, pathologic stage, lymph node status, ER, PR, HER-2, pathological characteristics had no significant difference (P>0.05). CEA positive rate of breast cancer group was significantly higher than that of benign lesions(13.5%vs. 3.7%, 26.5%vs. 1.8%, P<0.05). 30 cases of normal control group had no positive one. The joint monitoring sensitivity of CEA and CA15-3 breast cancer group was 9.4 %, the sensitivity was 0 in benign lesion group. There was significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion The changes of Serum CA15-3 and CEA levels in breast cancer patients can be considered as the judgment standard for early diagnosis, pathological staging, prognosis and clinical effect monitoring.

ObjectiveTo explore the screening and therapeutic efficacy of primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) in newborns and mothers.Methods164245 newborns and suspected mothers were investigated for PCD by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).The overall epidemiology,prognosis,and follow-up of the screening program were investigated.ResultsTotally 55 suspected cases were identified at the primary screening stage.Four newborns and three mothers were confirmed as cases of PCD.The incidence rate of newborns was 1 ∶ 40076.All the patients showed normal growth and development during the follow-up.Blood free carnitine level was raised in all three mothers after treatment.ConclusionsScreening for PCD with MS/MS in newborns may represent a valuable procedure in preventive medicine by enabling early diagnosis and treatment before the onset of symptoms.This protocol is also highly efficient and applicable in diagnosis of mothers with PCD.

Objective To conduct a morphologic and anatomic study on nasal cartilages (including nasal alar cartilage, nasal septal cartilage and upper lateral cartilage) in Chinese, and to compare measured parameters with the other races. Methods 20 adult embalmed cadavers were dissected, 40 nasal alar cartilages, 20 nasal septal cartilages and 40 upper lateral cartilages were collected and scanned by CT, and three-dimensional images were reconstructed. As Zelnik' and Ofodile's work, the data of the images were collected. Results The distances from the nostril rim to the caudal boarder of the lateral crus in the series were (4. 54 ±0. 59) mm anteriorly, (5. 54±0. 69) mm in the middle, and (10. 45± 1. 15) mm posteriorly. The length of the lateral crus was (18. 51 ±1. 63) mm, the width was (7. 99±1. 66) mm, and the thickness was (0. 49±1. 28) mm. Conclusion The Caucasian nasal cartilages are the biggest in all races, and the other's were approximately same.
