Objective To evaluate the effect of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in the treatment of hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis. Methods Sixty cases with confirmed hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis were randomly divided into 3 groups: penicillamine group [40 mg/(kg·d)], BMSCs group and BMSCs + penicillamine group. Autologous BMSCs (2 mL) were injected into vein with normal saline (100 mL). Liver tissue pathology biopsy was inspected and the changes in HA, PCⅢ, LN, CⅣ, TIMP-1 and MMP-1 were observed at 0, 4th, 8th and 12th week during the therapeutic process. Results The level of serum fibrotic markers were reduced in every group , while the changes in BMSCs + penicillamine group were especially obvious (P < 0.05). Conclusion Penicillamine combined with BMSCs was effective in the therapy of hepatolenticular degeneration of liver fibrosis.

CD47 is a pluripotent molecule which plays a key role in the process of tumor immune escape.Blocking CD47 signal pathway can activate the macrophages to phagocytose tumor cells,which becomes a promising way for tumor immunotherapy.Monoclonal antibodies targeting CD47 have been the new focus during recent years.Present researches are carried out successfully,however it still needs more work before the clinical application of monoclonal antibodies targeting CD47.

Objective To investigate the preoperative identification of esophageal submucosal tumor by endoscope. Methods 40 patients of esophageal submucosal tumors with lesions range from 1.0 to 2.0 cm from March 2012 to August 2016 were randomly divided into A, B groups. Patients in group A underwent submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) 3.0 cm from the lesions, while patients in group B first underwent submucosal injection of saline to mark the lesions, then perform STER in the same way. Then record the time of checking. Results The average time of group A was (420.0 ± 25.0) s, the average time of B group was (300.0 ± 25.0) s, there was statistical differences between the two groups. Conclusion Preoperative identification of the lesions before STER holds more advantages.

Objective To explore the characteristics of chest multi-slice spiral CT and dynamic changes in adult patients with se-vere adenovirus pneumonia.Methods Clinical and CT data of 6 patients with severe pneumonia in an epidemic of the respiratory ade-novirus infection were retrospectively analyzed.The impact of hormone therapy was also studied.Results The first chest CT exami-nations in 6 patients were performed 2.22 ± 0.75 days after fever.CT showed segmental consolidation with ground-glass opacity (GGO)in one case,patchy consolidation with GGO in 3 cases,patchy interstitial changes in one case and small nodules in one case. The duration reaching the standards of severe pneumonia was 6.1 7 ± 0.37 days from the onset.During severe phase chest CT showed a range of lobar consolidation in one case,lobar in 2 cases,segmental in 2 cases or patchy in one case,consolidation with GGO in 5 cases.In all cases the lesions were commonly seen in the lower lobes of bilateral lungs.Multiple lobes were involved in 2 cases.After methylprednisolone treatment,no new lesion was showed but the early lesion was enlarged.During the first 2 to 4 days GGO absorbed completely in 6 cases,consolidation absorbed completely in one case and mostly in 5 cases.Conclusion Chest CT findings of severe adenovirus pneumonia in adult are single or multiple lobar or segmental consolidations with or without GGO which distribute mainly at lower lobes.

The preparation and certification of five China Sea and continental shelf sediment reference materials MSCS-1- 5 are reported. The raw samples were collected separately from the East China Sea and the South China Sea. First,they were ground by a ball mill to a homogenous powder of less than 74μm,then these samples was further processed by an ultra-fine processing technique,a jet mill,to form an ultra-fine powder. The particle size distribution of the samples was determined with a laser particle-analyser,their average particle size is < 4μm. The homogeneity was tested by high-precision WD-XRF and the minimum sampling mass is 5 mg,which was confirmed by XRF,ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Twelve laboratories participated in the cooperative study and 60 constituents were determined. 50 and 51 components were certified as certified values and 1 and 2 components as reference values respectively for MSCS-1 and MSCS-2,52 constituents were certified as certified values for MSCS-3,4 and 5. The sum of the major and minor components in the five reference materials MSCS-1 -5 is 99.9% ,99.6% ,100.4% ,100.1% and 99.7% ,respectively.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the degree of cochlea endolymphatic hydrops(EH) and hearing loss and symptoms in patients with unilateral Meniere's disease. Methods Fifty seven patients with unilateral Meniere's patients were retrospectively quantitatively analyzed, which evaluated the correlation between the cochlea EH and hearing loss and symptoms. The affected ears in the experimental group(57 ears) and the asymptomatic ears in the control group(57 ears), were confirmed by bilateral intratympanic Gd-DTPA injection and 3D real IR MRI scan after 24 h. The maximum length of endolymph space and labyrinth chamber along the modiolus cochleae and their ratio which represented the endolymph space proportion of each turn(R1, the basal turn;R2, the middle turn;R3, the apical turn) were calculated. And the paired t test was used to compare the differences in EH degree between the experimental and control group;Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the cochlea EH degree and hearing loss and duration of symptoms. Results R1, R1 and R3 of ipsilateral cochlea were higher than normal cochlea(ipsilateral R1:0.354±0.097 vs. normal R1:0.185±0.031, P<0.01;ipsilateral R2:0.445 ± 0.098 vs. normal R2:0.201 ± 0.046, P<0.01;ipsilateral R3:0.467 ± 0.102 vs. normal R3:0.221 ± 0.053, P<0.01). A positive correlation was found between the degree of EH in each turn and high-frequency hearing loss(r=0.275, 0.281, 0.329, respectively;all P<0.05), whereas no correlation was found between the extent of EH and the time of vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss(P>0.05). In addition, there was a correlation between the degree of EH in the apical turn and low, medium, high-frequency hearing loss(r=0.271, 0.269, 0.329, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusions The degree of cochlea EH in the basal and second turn showed great relevance with the high-frequency hearing loss, and the apical turn EH degree was relevant with the low, medium, high-frequency hearing loss, but there was no correlation between the EH degree of each turn, ages and symptoms.
