Objective To investigate the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of primary hepatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) by ultrasound. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data and ultrasonic findings was performed on 16 patients with pathologically proven hepatic MFH from July 2005 to August 2012 in Eastern Hepatobilary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University. Results Of the 16 patients, all the tumors were single, which including 9 tumors located in the right lobe, 6 tumors located in the left lobe, and 1 tumor located in caudate lobe of the liver. The tumor sizes were larger than 10.0 cm in 3 cases, between 5.0 cm and 10.0 cm in 10 cases, and less than 5.0 cm in 3 cases. Tumor internal echo was heterogeneous, including 1 case with honeycomb pattern and 2 cases with mosaic sign. Most tumors were unclearly-deifned (11 cases) without obvious halo. The pathologic results identiifed 15 cases of primary hepatic MFH and 1 case of primary intrahepatic bile duct malignant ifbrous histiocytoma. Conclusions It is dififcult to make correct clinical diagnosis of hepatic MFH. A comprehensive analysis of ultrasound ifndings and clinical information is needed to obtain an accurat diagnosis of malignant liver tumors.

Objective To reduce the rate of dysphagia and inhalation pneumonia by changing the food dense and evaluate the swallow function by videofluoroscopy(VF) and fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing(FEES). Methods The videofluoroscopy and fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing were used in 50 healthy volunteer and 35 dysphagia person. Results Aspiration was find in 14% volunteer and penetration was find in 36% volunteer. The positive rate of videofluoroscopy was higher than of fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing in the two indicators. The delay of the thin barium passed the pharynx was the danger factor of aspiration. Videofluoroscopy was more sensitive in diagnosis of penetration. The time that watery barium and pudding barium flowed from pharynx to epiqlottis is longer in patients than that in volunteer. Conclusion The videofluoroscopy and fiberoptic endoscopic examination could be predicted to some extend by some clinical swallowing abnormalities, which could increase the accuracy of clinical evaluation . The viscosity changing can decrease the rate of dysphagia and inhalation pneumonia.

0.05). The average SV of premature systoles is 35% of sinus beats. Premature systoles less than 5 beats/min may cause and average drop of 5% of cardiac output (CO), While the premature systoles increased to 10-20 beats/min, the CO would be dropped further of 10-19%. there Was a high linear correlation between sr of all premature systoles and the coupling interval premature systoles (p

Background and purpose:Arsenic trioxide(As_(2)O_(3)) injection actually has an effect on solid tumors such as hepatoma in the clinic.In order to find out its mechanism of action,we studied the action of arsenic trioxide injection on angiogenesis of chick embryo chrioallantoic membrane(CAM).Methods:The effect of arsenic trioxide injection on angiogenesis was investigated by CAM model and computer image analysis.Results:Administered at three different concentrations of arsenic trioxide injection at 10,20 and 40,3 days later,the vessel area were 25.66%?4.17%,24.74%?2.54% and 21.51%?6.70%,respectively.Compared to the NS control group(vessel area was 30.68%?(4.64%)),there was an obvious difference(P0.05 among the three different concentration groups).Conclusions:arsenic trioxide injection has a strong inhibitory effect on angiogenesis,which may be used in suppressing cancer angiogenesis.

Mercury is one of the common heavy-metal toxins,which can cause damage throughout the body in a variety of ways. Cases of renal toxicity of mercury poisoning are increasing clinically. However,little is known about nephrotoxicity mechanisms,and treatment remains unsatisfactory. The mechanism of mercury toxic nephropathy is reviewed in this paper,including the direct toxic effect on the kidney,the injury to the biomembrane system,generation of Hg-metallothionein,imbalance of intra?cellular calciumion,oxidative damage,induced apoptosis,and immune injury. Besides,the mechanism and limitation of common therapies,potential developments of the field are discussed. This review will facilitate further investigations therapies about both the mechanism and treatment of mercury toxic nephropathy.

BACKGROUND:Simple pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures has better outcomes, but there are some deficiencies, such as poor applicability for severe compression or burst fractures, strong vertebral pain, easy to cause vertebral wound denervation and paraspinal muscle injury, and slow recovery. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of pedicle screw fixation combined with artificial bone graft for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS:A total of 126 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures, who had undergone pedicle screw fixation without bone graft (control group,n=62) and with bone graft (test group,n=64) were enroled. The fracture healing, anterior vertebral height ratio, sagittal Cobb angle, and loss rate of vertebral height after 6 months were observed by X-ray in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were folowed up, and had complete fracture healing after 12-16 months. The anterior vertebral height and Cobb angle were both improved in the two groups at 1 week after operation (P < 0.01), but there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). New bone formation was observed in the test group at 6 months after operation, and patients were pain-free; but the speed of bone formation was slower in the control group, and patients stil suffered from painful thoracolumbar fractures. There was no difference in the loss of anterior vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups (P> 0.05). These findings indicate that pedicle screw fixation combined with artificial bone graft lead to a better recovery in thoracolumbar fractures.

Objective To study the microsatellite instability (MSD) of D310 and D16184 located in mitochondrial D-loop region in acute leukemia (AL). Methods The HV-1 and HV-2 regions in D-loop region of 100 persons with the untreated and treated acute leukemia was amplificated and screened by PCR-SSCP,then the abnormal samples was amplificated and sequenced directly and compared with revised Cambridge reference sequence (rCRS) and mtDB. The mutation rates of D310 and D16184 was measured by SPSS11.5 statistics software, x2-test. Results The total mutation rate of D310 was found in 49.0 % (49/100) of our patients. Its mutation rates in untreated group and treated group were 32.5 % (13/40) and 60.0 % (36/60)respectively. The mutation rate of treated group is higher than that in untreated group (P ＜ 0.05). The total mutation rate of D16184 was found in 32.0 % (32/100) of our patients. Its mutation rates in untreated group and treated group were 20.0 % (8/40) and 40.0 % (24/60) respectively. The mutation rate of treated group is higher than that in untreated group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion There was a high mutation rate with various types of mutations of microsatellite D310 and D16184 located in mitochondrial D-loop region in AL, which led to a doughty MSI. Chemotherapy could cause a more doughty MSI.
