Objective To investigate the clinical value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)on minute gas-tric stromal tumor (MGST).Methods 90 patients diagnosed with MGST were randomly divided into two groups. 45 patients in A group were given conventional endoscopic diagnosis,45 cases in B group were treated with endoscopic ultrasound diagnosis.After the two groups of patients with endoscopic treatment,the coincidence rate of preoperative diagnosis and pathological inspection test results was recorded,clinical features in MGST under EUS diagnosis were analyzed.Results All patients were diagnosed in the case of endoscopic surgery,endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)accounted for 94.44%,which was significantly higher than the use of endoscopic full -thickness resection (EFR)percentage of 5.56%,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =14.22,P <0.05);The two groups of patients after endoscopic treatment,were diagnosed as pathological inspection MGST.Preoperative diagnosis showed that EUS MGST suspected cases of 40 patients,conventional endoscopy MGST suspected cases of 31 cases.The diag-nosis coincidence rate of B group (88.89%)was significantly higher than that in A group (68.88%),the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =5.40,P <0.05);MGST of EUS images could be clearly observed in patients with tumor morphology,size,location,growth pattern,internal parenchyma,echo pattern,strengthening methods,the compo-sition ratio in line with the results of endoscopic treatment,diagnosis results in line with the pathological diagnosis. Conclusion EUS has significant value for the diagnosis of MGST,it has advantages in the clinical guidance and treatment.

Objective To investigate whether the extact of ginko biloba (EGb761) can protect the retinal ganglion cells (RGC) after acute high intraocular pressure induced retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups. The negative control group, positive control group, treatment group were given normal saline 5 mL/kg, 1% erigeron breviscapus (vant) hand-mazz (EBHM) 5 mL/kg, 1% EGb761 5 mL/kg, respectively 2 hour after injury and every day after operation. Retinal ganglion cells were retrograde labeled by injection of 3% fluorogold (FG) into both side of superior colliculus 5 days before the death of the rats. Results The average survival rate of retinal ganglion cells were 61.46%, 72.73% and 76.20% in negative control group, positive control group and treatment group respectively. Conclusion EGb761 has neuroprotective effect on retinal ganglion cells in acute high intraocular pressure induced retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate probable effect of metformin on anxiety and autophagy pathway in rats with focal cerebral ischemia . Methods The rats were divided into seven groups:shame group, ischemia group, metformin group, compound C group, compound C +ischemia group, metformin+ischemia group, and metformin+compound C+ischemia group.The rats were administered with metformin 14 days and compound C 30 min pretreatment.The blood glucose level, body mass, neurological score and indicators of elevate plus maze test were recorded of two groups after 72h ischemia-perfusion.The autophagy-related protein of Atg-7, Atg-5, beclin-1 were analysed by Western blot.ResuIts Metformin had no significant effect of body mass and blood glucose level.The prior administration of metformin significantly elevated neurological score in ischemia group (P<0.01).The elevate plus maze test results showed that prior administration of metformin significantly elevated percentage of open-arms detention time in ischemia group (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in open-arms times.Western blot result showed that prior administration of metformin significantly elevated Atg-7, Atg-5, beclin-1 protein expression in ischemia group (P<0.001).Compound C resist the above effects of metformin (P<0.01).ConcIusion The metformin improves psychological disorders and movement disability through regulation of autophagy following focal cerebral ischemia in rats.

BACKGROUND:Peripheral facial nerve injury first involves the retrograde reactions of central nervous system axons, and nerve regeneration wil depend on the survival and functional status of neuronal cel bodies. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in facial nuclei after facial nerve injury. METHODS:New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into model group (n=48) and control group (n=8). In the model group, every eight rabbits were used to carry out the test respectively at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21 days after the model of facial nerve injury (right side) was established. SP and real-time quantitative PCR methods were taken to test the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus at mRNA and RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The control group had neuronal cadherin-and placental cadherin-positive neurons. In the model group, neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin positively expressed in the facial motorneurons (right side), and their expressions were peaked at 14 days. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of neuronal cadherin in the facial motorneurons was increased significantly at 4-28 days after injury;the mRNA expression of placental cadherin in the facial motorneurons was decreased significantly at 1 day after injury, and then increased significantly at 7-28 days. It is suggested that the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin is positive in the early stage of facial nerve injury, and the expression of placental cadherin is always present, while the expression of neuronal cadherin relatively lasts for a short time. After facial nerve injury, the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus is both increased, which indicates that the facial nerve regeneration may be related to the high expression of adhesion molecules.

Objective To evaluate the predictive performance of diaphragm thickening fraction ( DTF) assessed by ultrasound in the feasibility of weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) . Methods Forty-three patients with COPD were enrolled for prospective study.All patients were ventilated mechanically for more than 48 hours and were expected to be weaned when they met clinical criteria in the intensive care unit from February 2015 to August 2015.Patients received a spontaneous breathing trial under pressure support for 1 h.At the end of spontaneous breathing trial, the right hemi-diaphragm was visualized in the zone of apposition using a 6-13 MHz linear ultrasound probe. Diaphragm thickness was recorded at end-inspiration (DTei) and end-expiration (DTee), and the DTF was calculated as percentage from the following formula:(DTei -DTee) /DTee.Also the rapid shallow breathing index ( RSBI ) was calculated.Patients meeting weaning criteria were extubated.Weaning successfully was defined as spontaneous breathing for >48 h without any form of ventilation support.Results Twenty-five patients were weaned successfully and failure of weaning was found in 18 patients.A significant differences in DTF ( 39.66 ±13.22 )%vs.( 23.84 ±8.85 )%, P <0.05 and RSBI ( 62.74 ±26.05 ) vs.( 98.89 ± 35.44) , P <0.05 were observed between patients with successful weaning and patients with failure.The sensitivity and specificity of DTF≥30 % for successful weaning were 84% and 83.88 %, respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.872 ( 95 % CI: 0.759-0.985 ) for DTF.By comparison, when RSBI was ≤105, there was a sensitivity of 92 %, and a specificity of 38.89 % for determining successful weaning.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.804 ( 95 %CI: 0.669-0.940) for RSBI. Conclusions This study shows that in a cohort of COPD patients, the assessment of DTF using diaphragm ultrasound may be useful to predict success weaning or failure during spontaneous breathing trial.
