Objective To compare the efficiency of 18F-FDG PET/CT and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in detection of HCC recurrence after surgery or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods Twenty-seven HCC patients (22 males,5 females; average age:47 years) were included in this study,of which 15 patients underwent surgery and 12 patients underwent RFA therapy.18F-FDG PET/CT and CEUS were performed within 2 weeks in all patients to detect recurrence.Final diagnosis was made by pathology or clinical follow-up (＞6 months),and the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and CEUS were calculated and compared.McNemar test was used for data analysis.Results Twenty-five patients were diagnosed with HCC recurrence,including 11 cases with extrahepatic metastases.Another 2 patients had extrahepatic metastases without HCC recurrences.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in detection of liver lesion with 18F-FDG PET/CT were 92.0％ (23/25),2/2 and 92.6％ (25/27),respectively.While with CEUS,the corresponding values were 60.0％ (15/25),2/2 and 63.0％ (17/27),respectively.In CEUS positive group,the sensitivity and accuracy were 100％(15/15) for both methods.In CEUS negative group,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in detection of liver lesion were 8/10,2/2 and 83.3％(10/12),respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT were significantly higher than those of CEUS (0,16.7％(2/12) ; x2 =5.373,5.250,both P＜0.05).Moreover,the sensitivity of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in detecting extrahepatic metastasis was 100％ (13/13).Conclusions 18 F-FDG PET/CT is more sensitive and accurate than CEUS (especially in CEUS negative cases) in detecting recurrence of HCC after surgery or RFA.18F-FDG PET/CT also could be useful for detection of extrahepatic metastasis.

BACKGROUND:Finite element method is widely used in the femoral neck fracture, but the study concerning different fixation methods of femoral neck fracture is not much. OBJECTIVE:To analyze biomechanical properties of different fixation methods for femoral neck fracture using finite element analysis. METHODS:The femur of voluntters was scanned with CT, at thickness 0.6 mm, from the site above the greater trochanter of the femur. Scanning data were saved in .DICOM format. Data of right proximal femur were imported into Mimics software. Osteotomy was performed according to Pauwels I type fracture. Models of two tensile force screws, ful y threaded hol ow screw and proximal femoral locking plate were established. Three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyze stress distribution, stress concentration position, displacement distribution and maximum displacement in different models of femoral neck fracture with different internal fixation methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The maximum stress value of two lag screws model was biggest. The maximum stress value of ful y threaded hol ow screw model was minimized. The maximum stresses of two lag screws model, ful y threaded hol ow screw model and proximal femoral locking plate model al were concentrated in the fixed end of fractures. (2) The femoral maximum stress of two lag screws model was biggest. The femoral maximum stress value of proximal femoral locking plate model was minimized. The femoral maximum stresses of two lag screws model, ful y threaded hol ow screw model and proximal femoral locking plate model al were concentrated in the medial femoral smal rotor near and medial femoral and fixation contact points. (3) The maximum displacement of two lag screws model was biggest. The maximum displacement of ful y threaded hol ow screw model was minimized. The maximum displacement of two lag screws model, ful y threaded hol ow screw model and proximal femoral locking plate model al was in the femoral head. (4) The maximum displacement value of two lag screws model fixed place was biggest. The maximum displacement value of ful y threaded hol ow screw model fixed place was minimized. The maximum displacement value of two lag screws model was biggest at femoral head. The maximum displacement value of ful y threaded hol ow screw model was minimized at femoral head. (5) Results showed that the treatment effect of ful y threaded hol ow screw on Pauwels I fractures was better than other two fixation methods.

Objective To study the effects of Compound Di Gui Capsule (CDGC) on the levels of glucose and lipid in diabetic rats.Methods Rats models with diabetes mellitus were induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (50mg?kg-1).Then the diabetic rats were divided into different groups at random.CDGC groups were given CDGC in the dosages of 2.4,1.2,0.6 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively by gastric gavage for 90 d.Levels of whole blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),nitric oxide (NO),total antioxidation capacity (T-AOC) were determined.The insulin level and the pathological changes of pancreatic tissues were also observed.Results The glucose level of diabetic rat was decreased 2h after administration.After administration of CDGC for 90d,the glycosylated hemoglobin,TG,LDL-C and NO were markedly decreased,islet ?cells were protected and restored,and the insulin level and T-AOC were increased.Conclusion CDGC can regulate the metabolism of glucose and lipid in diabetic rats,and can protect and restore the pancreatic islet cells.

BACKGROUND:During the process of acute brain injury after stroke, matrix metaloproteinase can undermine the integrity of vascular basement membrane, promote the migration of neutrophils and inflammatory factors, and cause secondary brain injury. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the activation of matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 and the degradation rule of claudin in rat models of middle cerebral artery ischemia at different ischemic durations. METHODS:Thirty-nine male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups according to different ischemic durations (3, 5 and 7 hours) . Middle cerebral artery occlusion (stroke) model was established using modified suture method,i.e., separation of the external carotid artery, inserting the suture into the internal carotid artery through the external carotid artery, and eventualy reaching the middle cerebral artery. The ischemic duration in these three groups was respectively 3 , 5 and 7 hours. After 2 hours of reperfusion, Zea-Longa score and Ludmila Belayev score, brain infarct area, matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 activities and claudin 5 degradation were determined in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the extension of ischemic duration, brain infarct area gradualy increased, central nervous system damage gradualy aggravated, matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 activities gradualy increased, and claudin-5 expression gradualy decreased. There were significant differences between any two ischemic durations in terms of each of above-mentioned indices. The results indicate that after long duration of ischemia, the progressive damage of brain tissue can cause the gradual increase of activation of matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 and the gradual degradation of claudin 5.

BACKGROUND:Closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing can protect blood supply of fractured bone,decrease infection and promote bone healing.which is becoming the first choice for treating femoral shaft fracture However,it is difficult to conduct in closed reduction and keep stabilization of fractured bone.OBJECTIVE:To explore the curative effect of closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing in treating femoral shaft fracture with assist of rubber tourniquet 360°elastic fixation METHODS:From May 2008 to November 2009,18 patients(14 males,4 females;aged 18-65 years)with closed femoral shaft fracture were treated at the Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Body skin was protected by cloth,elastic rubber tourniquet was doubled and 360°wrapped around the fractured bone with the length of 10 cm from up and down.Supracondylar femur was reamed by Kernig-needle;fractured bone was dealt with countertraction and horizontal rotation.Another assistant compressed the fractured bone according to the displacement of fracture,which contributes to bone fracture reduetion and interlocking intramedullary nailing.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All 18 patients were followed up postoperatively,no case was found with skim necrosis and damage of nerve and blood vessel.16 cases were bone union with excellent 15 cases,fine 1 case;2 cases were still being followed up.Callus was firstly found 1 month after operation and was obviously found in 3e months postoperatively The result suggested that the treatment of closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing with assist of rubber tourniquet360°elastic fixation is a simple and applicable approach.which reduces the interruption of blood supply for fractured bone and closed reduction gets good result,which reduces the chance of open reduction.

The relaxation therapy is a common method in the psychological rehabilitation in the injured and disabled patients,which can release the negative emotions,improve the quality of sleep,decrease the pain of the injured and disabled parts of the body and build up the confidence of life of the patients after the earthquake.After the long-term practice of the psychological rehabilitation in the injured and disabled patients and the experience of the psychological rehabilitation in the injured and disabled patients after the 5·12 Earthquake,the author thinks during the relaxation training psychotherapy of the injured and disabled patients after the earthquake,the choice of technique and procedure of the relaxation therapy should depend on the specific situation of the patients.The author introduces a idiographic method of the relaxation therapy and some suggestions of the implied treatment after the relaxation which is suitable for the injured and disabled patients.

The earthquake always results in a great number of the injured and disabled patients.So timely and effective psychological rehabilitation interventions are very helpful,especially for those survivors to relieve their psychological traumatic response caused by the earthquake,and renew their healthy psychological situation.The present article analyzes the chief psychological symptoms and influencing factors of the injured and disabled patients after the earthquake,and further provides some principles and strategies for the psychological rehabilitation,such as how to cope with the early stress response(anxiety,depression,self-abasement,and so on),or how to deal with the social phobia.

This paper analysed the rhinoscope's clinical value in microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Application of the rhinoscope in 87 patients, only 2 patients had ruptured during operation. However, 11 cases had ruptured in 94 cases without using rhinoscope, P < 0.05, they had a significant difference. By DSA follow-up review, 82 cases of used rhinoscope only 2 cases had remained the aneurysm neck, but 9 cases had the aneurysm neck in 77 cases which had not used the rhinoscope in the microsurgical treatment, P < 0.05, they also had significant difference. The application of rhinoscope in microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms intraoperative, can reduce the risk of the intraoperative aneurysm rupture. It can achieve better clinical effect.
