Objective To examine the heating capability of thermoseeds in isolated hepatic tissues.Methods Isolated hepatic tissues were heated uniformly to 37 ℃,meanwhile the thermoseeds and thermocouples were planted using a template paralleling with the magnetic line.Afterwards,the tissues were treated in an extracorporeal magnetic field of 120-123 gauss at a frequency of 113-116 kHz for 30 minutes.At the meantime,the temperature was recorded by a computer through thermocouples. Results The temperature of the tissues raised markedly with a largest change of 14 ℃.The heating area became hard and showed a gradual change of color(white-yellow-brown).The final temperature was negatively correlated with distance when using same number of the thermoseeds(r=-0.96017 to-0.99767,P=0.0023 to 0.0398),and positively correlated with the number of thermoseeds when measuring at a same point(r=0.93775 to 0.99270,P=0.0007 to 0.0185)except for the center group(r=0.93936,P=0.0606).Conclusions Thermoseeds inductive heating technology can achieve an appropriate temperature in isolated hepatic tissues.In certain extent,the temperature increase the number of thermoseeds and heating distance.

Objective To explore the effect of two different position fixing methods on position deviation of different directions and lesions in patients with lung cancer receiving radiotherapy .Methods 100 cases were randomly selected and divided into the two groups .Group A included 50 cases using thermoplastic membrane and group B included 50 cases using vacuum cushion .Position deviations of different directions and lesions of the two groups were observed and compared .Results The forward and backward directions′position deviation of group A was significantly lower than that of group B(t=3.67,P=0.00).The total position deviation of group A was significantly lower than that of group B(t=2.83,P=0.00).The position deviation in the middle of lung field of group A was significantly lower than group B(t =4.26,P=0.00).The repositioning cases of group A accounted for 30.00%(15/50)and group B accounted for 56.00%(28/50).The difference was significant (χ2 =6.90,P=0.00).Conclusion Using thermoplastic membrane as position fixing method in patients with lung cancer receiving radiotherapy can reduce position deviation .

Objective To analyze the characteristics of dysplasia in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS),and identify the risk factors for evolution of MDS to acute leukemia.Methods According to the WHO criterion 2008 of MDS,98 cases were included.As the characteristics of dysplasia,cell morphology,cytogenetics and flow cytometry were analyzed in these patients.Results To the last follow-up,27 of 98 patients transformed to acute myeloid leukemia,including M2 (15 cases),M4 (10 cases),M6 (2 cases).Patients with abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t had significantly higher risk for evolution of MDS to leukemia,when compared to those without Pelger-Hu(e)t (23/67 vs 4/36,x2 =4.87,P =0.03).Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathological were also the risk factors of developing to leukemia (19/37 vs 8/61,x2 =16.87,P =0.000; 21/57vs 6/46,x2 =9.14,P =0.003,respectively).37 patients died,the median suvival time was 26 months (95 ％ CI 13-38) for patients with abnorrnal Pelger-Hu(e)t,19 months (95 ％ CI 11-26) for patients with Auer corpuscle,13 months (95 ％ CI 6-19) for patients with small nuclear pathology,respectively (x2 =11.05,13.04,21.05,P =0.001,0.000,0.000).Conclusion Abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t,Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathology are indentified as the risk factors for evolution of MDS to leukemia,and they are the infavorable predictors of survival.

Objective The Improved segmental arch technique can effectively intrude incisors and correct deep overbites. To research its biomechanical characteristics, we reconstruct 3D nonlinear finite element model of mandibular teeth with improved segmen-tal arch, study the biomechanical characteristics and the suitable loading force of intrusion arch. Methods Combined with the re-sults of previous research, we complete the reconstruction of 3D nonlinear finite element model of mandibular teeth with improved seg-mental arch.Then, we set loading force of intrusion arch five conditions from 0.2 N~0.6 N, calculate the movement trend and stress distribution of improved segmental arch. Results In the five conditions of improved segmental arch, lateral incisors and canines in-truded and tipped labially, first molars tipped distally and rotated. In addition, the moment the initial loading force of intrusive arch in-creased, the movement of these teeth increased. However, other teeth did not move clearly. When the initial loading force of improved segment arch was 0.5 N, it can achieve appropriate intrusion of anterior teeth. Conclusion Under an appropriate intrusive force, improved segment arch can effectively intrude incisors and control the extrusion of posterior teeth. It can be used to correct the deep overbites, especially with high mandibular planes, gummy smile or adult stage.

Objective To investigate whether determination of CEA and CA19-9 levels in EUS-FNA pancreatic samples can be useful in detecting pancreatic adenocarcinoma and differentiating pancreatic adenocarcinoma from chronic pancreatitis.Methods Levels of CEA,CA19-9 were examined by chemiluminescence immunoassay analysis in EUS-FNA specimens obtained from 25 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 65 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma,and compared with those of their peripheral serum.Twelve patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma while with negative EUS-FNA pathological findings were followed up.Results First,the levels of CEA,CA19-9 in EUS-FNA specimens were higher than those in serum obtained from same patient with pancreatic adenoearcinoma(P＜0.01),but there was no difference in these variables of EUS-FNA specimens and serum obtained from patients with chronic pancreatitis.Second,in the EUS-FNA samples,the levels of CEA,CA19-9 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma were higher than those in chronic pancreatitis(P＜0.01).On the contrary,in serum samples,there was no significant difference in CEA level between pancreatic adenocarcinoma and chronic pancreatitis(P=0.079).CA19-9 level in serum of Dancreatic adenocarcinoma was higher than that of chronic pancreatitis(P＜0.01). Finally,during the follow-up,of all the 12 patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma,10 patients were diagnosed as having pancreatic adenocarcinoma and 2 patients as having chronic pancreatitis.Diagnostic accuracy of serum CEA and CA19-9were 30%and 70%respectively,while sensitivity of CEA and CA10-9 determined by EUS-FNA was both above 90%.Conclusion The method of measuring CEA and CA19-9 levels in samples obtained by EUS-FNAcan be useful in detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and differentiation of malignant pancreatic tissue from chronic pancreatitis.

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.
