Objective To establish a polarographic method for detecting fluoroacetamide.Methods On the condition of strong basic solution with high temperature fluoroacetamide was decomposed to form a decomposed product ALC-La-F - complex.In a pH4.90buffer solution containing KNO 3 and hexamethylenetetramine,the decomposed product was determined with com-plex-adsorptive wave at-0.67V by polarography.Re sults The detection limit and linear range of the method was2.0?10 -8 mol/L and5.0?10 -8 -1.2?10 -6 mol/L respectively.The regressive equation was y=3.49x+0.042with a correlation coefficient r=0.9996.The method had been applied to the determination of fluoroacetamide in wheat flour samples satisfyingly.Conclu-sion This method was simple and suitable for the determination of fluoroacetamide in flour.

[Objective]To investigate the morphological changes that take place in the subchondral cocortical bone in steroid-induced osteonecrosis and analyze the reasons leading to humeral head collapse in juvenile rabbits.[Method]Five-six month-old female rabbits were separated by two groups.A modified version of the methods was used to replicate steroid enhanced osteonecrosis anminal humeral head models with Shwartzman reaction in group A,and group B served as the single control.Each humeral head was obtained 10 weeks after the drugs injection.Subchondral cortical bone was observed,and the number of haversian canals was counted.The microcirculatory changes were also detected with scanning electron microscope.[Result]In group A,the Haversian canals in' subchondral area almost disappeared;the subchondral cortical bone disappeared with its arch,dome and bridge structures.Microcirculatory stasis happened in the subchondral vessels.Some humeral heads collapse were observed.While in group B,subchondral cortical bone is integrity and continuity,forming arch,dome and brige structures with subtrabecular bone.[Conclusion]The disappearance of the subchondral cortical bone is a major reason leading humeral head collapse,and ischemia is the critical reason of it.

Objective To analyze the relationship between diabetics and the onset, clinical outcomes and prognosis of brainstem infarction, and to evaluate the impact of diabetes on brainstem infarction. Method Compare 172 cases of acute brainstem infarction in patients with or without diabetes.Analyze the associated risk factors of patients with brain-stem infarction in diabetics by multi-variate logistic regression analysis. Compare the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin scale (mRS) Score, pathogenetic condition and the outcome of the two groups in different times. Results The systolic blood pressure ( SBP ), TG, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B ( Apo B ), glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), fibrinogen(Fb), fasting blood glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin( HbA1c)in diabetic group were higher than those in non-diabetic group , which was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). From multi-variate logistic regression analysis, γ-GT, Apo B and FPG were the risk predictors of diabetes with brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 017, 4. 667 and 3. 173, respectively), while HDL-C was protective( OR =0. 288). HbA1c was a risk predictor of severity for acute brainstem infarction( OR = 1. 299), while Apo A was beneficial( OR =0. 212). Compared with brain-stem infarction in non-diabetic group, NIHSS score and intensive care therapy of diabetic groups on the admission had no statistically significance, while the NIHSS score on discharge and the outcome at 6 months' of follow-up were statistically significant. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Brainstem infarction with diabetes cause more rapid progression, poorer prognosis, higher rates of mortality as well as disability and higher recurrence rate of cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetes and brainstem infarction. Methods The diagnozed patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited in the study. Firstly, they were divided into brainstem infarction group and non-brainstem infarction group, and then they were redivided into brainstem infarction with diabetes, brainstem infarction without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and non-brainstem infarction without diabetes groups according to whether they had diabetes or not. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid atherosclerosis were detected and identified with Doppler ultrasound; brain stem infarction and its location were identified with diffusion-weighted imaging; basilar artery atherosclerosis was detected with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the different risk factors impacting brainstem infarction. Neurological deficit was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)scores. Results A total of 286 patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited: brain stem infarction in 63, and 34 of them with diabetes; non-brain stem infarction in 223, and 77 of them with diabetes. The proportions of diabetes (54. 0％ vs. 34. 5%, x2 = 7. 816, P = 0. 005),previous cerebral infarction (38. 1％ vs. 24. 2％ ,x2 =4. 771, P =0. 029), basilar artery atherosclerosis (73.0％ vs. 57. 4％,x2 =5. 028, P =0. 025), as wall as the levels of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) (7. 30 ± 2. 42％ vs. 6. 46 ± 1.82％, t = - 2. 531, P = 0. 011 ) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (0. 97 ± 0. 33 mmol/L vs. 0. 90 ± 0. 34 mmol/L, t =-2. 180, P = 0. 029) in the brainstem infarction group were significantly higher than those in the non-brainstem infarction group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes (odds ratio [ OR] 2. 150, 95％confidence interval [ CI] 1. 214-3. 808; P =0. 009) and previous cerebral infarction (OR 1. 835, 95％ CI 1.004-3. 352, P = 0. 048) were the independent risk factors for brainstem infarction. There were significant differences in the levels of HbA1c (P ＜ 0. 001 ), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (P ＜0. 001), ApoB (P =0. 007) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P =0. 018) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (P = 0. 001 ) among the brainstem infarction with diabetes, without diabetes, non-brainstem infarction with diabetes and without diabetes groups. The levels of HbA1c (8. 81 ±2. 36％), FBG (8. 23 ±3. 12 mmol/L andApoB (1.04 ± 0. 41 mmol/L) as well as the proportion of basilar artery atherosclerosis (85. 3％ )were the highest in the brainstem infarction with diabetes group. Conclusions Diabetes is closely associated with brainstem infarction. Diabetes is more likely to result in pontine infarction.

Background and purpose:The incidence of hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection is increasing worldwide.This paper was to study the clinical features of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma(HCV-HCC).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from the patients with HCC who underwent curative liver resection and randomly selected 64 patients with HCV infection and 100 patients with hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection as a control group.Post-operative complications and early prognosis were studied.Results:As compared with the patients with HBV-HCC,average age,incidence of liver cirrhosis and complications were signifi cantly higher in the patients with HCV-HCC(P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy between cylindrical abdominoperineal resection(CAPR)by laparoscopy and traditional abdominoperineal resection(APR). Methods A retrospectively analysis was done in the data of patients with low rectal cancer who underwent APR in our department from January 2010 to September 2015. The patients were divided into two groups,including cylindrical abdominoperineal resection by laparoscopy and traditional abdominoperineal resection. The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,the time of intestinal exhaust as well as the postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results There were no statistical differences in the intraoperative bleeding,operation time,the time of intestinal exhaust,postoperative intestinal obstruction and pulmonary infection between the two groups(P > 0.05). However,the differences in the rates of perineal incision infection and tumor intestinal perforation between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion CAPR by laparoscopy is safer,more reliable than traditional APR,which can effectively reduce the rates of postoperative incision infection and tumor intestinal perforation of patients.

Angiogenesis plays a vital role in carcinogenesis and development of colorectal cancer. Treatment targeting VEGF signaling pathway acquires important survival prolong for advanced colorectal cancer patients. For advanced colorectal cancer patients,bevacizumab could furtherly prolongs survival time in the setting of first line,second line and continuing therapy after first-progression therapy combined with chemothe-rapy. Aflibercept used in combination with irinotecan-containing regimen improves the survival of advanced colorectal cancer patients in second-line setting. Regorafenib also improves the survival of advanced colorectal cancer patients who have progressed after all line treatment. Considering these suivival benefit and their favora-ble safety,anti-angiogenic agents should be taken into all lines of therapy in the management of advanced colo-rectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of Notch1,Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4),hairy and enhancer of split-1 (HES-1),microvessel density (MVD),lymphatic vessel density (MLD) in gastric carcinoma,so as to discuss their roles in the development of gastric carcinoma.Methods Gastric carcinoma,paracancer tissues which was apart from the edge of cancer tissue ＞ 60 mm obtained during operation and normal gastric mucosa obtained during gastroscopy were used as controls.All specimens were made tissue microarray.The expressions of Notchl,DLL4,HES-1 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Immunohistochenical double taining was used to detect MVD and MLD.The relationships between Notch1,DLL4,HES-1 expression and angiogenesis,lymphangiogenesis and their significances were analyzed.Results The positive rate of Notch1 in gastric carcinoma was 48.30％,significantly higher than that of paracancerous (25.00％,x2 =6.38,P ＜ 0.05) and control group (16.67％,x2 =10.18,P ＜0.05).The differences of the positive rate of DLL4 in gastric carcinoma (55.94％),paracancerous (45.70％) and control group (56.67％) were not significant (x2 =1.18,P ＞0.05 ; x2 =0.005,P ＞ 0.05).The differences of the positive rate of HES-1 in gastric carcinoma (36.64％),paracancerous (34.40％) and control group (33.33％) were not significant (x2 =0.05,P ＞ 0.05 ;,x2 =0.11,P ＞ 0.05).The mean of MVD in gastric carcinoma group was 28.84 ± 14.17,which was significantly higher than that in paracancerous group (17.02 ±8.54,t =4.03,P＜0.05) and control group (16.69 ±7.21,t =5.01,P＜0.05).The mean of MLD in gastric carcinoma group was 8.55 ±4.98,which was significantly higher than that in paracancerous group (4.05 ± 2.48,t =9.30,P ＜ 0.05) and control group (3.99 ± 1.56,t =10.32,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of DLL4 was correlated with MVD (t =2.77,P ＜ 0.05),but wasn't correlated with MLD (t =1.89,P ＞0.05).There were no correlations between the expression of Notch1,HES-1 and tissues MVD,MLD (P ＞0.05).Conclusion Notch1 plays important roles in the development of gastric carcinoma.There are many angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in gastric carcinoma.The expression of DLL4 in gastric carcinoma has certain effect in the formation of microvessel.

Objective To improve differential diagnosis between acute disseminated encephalomyelitis ( ADEM) and classical multiple sclerosis ( CMS).Methods All 20 cases of ADEM and 24 cases of CMS were examined.Their epidemiological and clinical findings,laboratory features and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) data were analyzed using x2 test for categorical variables,Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests for continuous variables.Results ADEM and CMS showed no sex predominance.Patients with ADEM ((27 ±15) years) were younger than CMS ((37 ±13) years,Z= -2.218,P =0.027).The following findings were more commonly seen in ADEM compared with CMS:predemyelinating infectious disease (75% vs 4%,x2 =23.652,P = 0.000),fever (65% vs 4%,x2 =18.609,P = 0.000),meningeal irritation sign (40% vs 0,x2 = 9.189,P =0.002),seizure (25% vs 0,x2 =4.514,P = 0.034),and encephalopathy.ADEM patients were more likely to present with blood leucocytosis ( (11.9 ± 5.8) ×109/L vs (8.0±3.2) ×109/L,Z= -2.030,P=0.042),high C-reactive protein (2.74 mg/L vs 0.49 mg/L,Z = - 3.028,P = 0.002),increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (11.00 mm/h vs 7.00 mm/h,Z= -2.406,P =0.016),and cerebrospinal fluid leucocytosis (9 × 106/L vs 2×106/L,Z =- 2.781,P = 0.005).There were no differences in cerebrospinal fluid protein and oligoclonal band between the two groups.The following MRI lesions were more commonly seen in ADEM patients:cortical gray matter lesions (14/20,x2=15.213,P=0.000),basal ganglia gray matter lesions (14/20,x2 =8.910,P = 0.003),and brainstem lesions ( 14/20,x2 = 5.867,P = 0.015).In contrast,lesions in subcortical white matter (21/24,x2 = 17.628,P =0.000),periventricular area (21/24,x2 =15.213,P=0.000) and corpus callosum ( 14/24,x2 = 8.640,P = 0.003 ) were more common in the MRI image of CMS patients.The lesions in spinal cord were usually centrally distributed in ADEM (83% ),while peripherally in CMS (85%,x2 = 11.542,P = 0.001).The lesions had poorly defined margins in ADEM (95%),but well defined margins in CMS (75%,x2 =21.787,P = 0.000).Conclusion There are differences in epidemiological and clinical findings,laboratory features and MRI appearances between ADEM and CMS.

Objective To investigate the effect of splenectomy on infarct volume in middle cerebral artery occlusion in focal cerebral ischemia rats and its possible mechanisms.Methods Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into spleneetomy,sham splenectomy,and control groups (n =6 in each group).A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was induced by the intraluminal suture method 2 weeks after spleneetomy.The rats were decapitated and their brains were removed after 24 hours.The infarct volume was measured with Nissl body staining The number of macrophages in ischemic cortex was detected with immunofluorescence staining Results The infarct volume in the splenectomy group (34.93％ + 3.23％ )was significantly smaller than that in the sham splenectomy group (74.33％ + 2.36％ ; q =39.399,P ＜ 0.001 ) and the control group (77.30％ + 2.62％ ; q =42.369,P ＜ 0.001 ).However,there was no significant difference between the sham splenectomy group and the control group (q =2.970,P =0.082).The number of macrophages of the ischemic cortex in the splenectomy group (3.4 ± 1.07/per high power field) was significantly less than that in the sham splenectomy group (20.7±4.37/per high power field; q =17.300,P＜0.001) and the control group (18.87 ±4.17/per high power field; q =15.467,P ＜0.001).However,there was no significant difference between the sham splenectomy group and the control goup (q =1.833,P =0.384).Conclusions Splenectomy may reduce the infarct volume by reducing the number of macrophages in ischemic corticalregion.
