To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

Objective To investigate the expression level of RECK-mRNA and MMP-9-mRNA in breast cancer(BC) and fibroadenoma tissues and its significance.Methods The mRNA level of tissues of 39 cases of breast cancer and 14 cases of fibroadenoma was measured by RT-PCR technique and its correlation was analyzed.Results The mRNA level of RECK gene in breast cancer tissues was markedly lower than that in fibroadenoma tissues,while the MMP-9 level was higher in BC tissues.Conclusions RECK is a tumor suppressor gene, the expression in benign and malignant breast tissues is a negative relationship.BECK can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 and thus,inhibit the growth and metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the factors that influence joint function after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 109 patients with unstable pelvic fracture who had been treated with plate fixation from January 2007 to September 2014.They were 69 men and 40 women,23 to 72 years of age (average,46.3 years).By the Tile classification,15 cases were type B1,37 type B2,14 type B3,19 type C1,16 type C2,and 8 type C3.Their postoperative joint function was evaluated according to the Majeed criteria for functional evaluation.There were 86 cases in the good-to-excellent group (78.9％) and 23 in the fair-to-poor group (21.1％).Their data were analyzed in terms of gender,age,preoperative injury severity scale (ISS),body mass index (BMI),operation time,fracture type,reduction quality,postoperative complications,bone density,and postoperative weight bearing time.The influential factors were determined using Logistic regression analysis.Results All the 109 patients obtained a mean follow-up of 18.7 months (from 12 to 53 months).Preoperative ISS (P =0.000),fracture type (P =0.008),reduction quality (P =0.009) and postoperative complications (P =0.000) were identified as the factors influencing joint function after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.Conclusion Preoperative assessment by ISS,a clear understanding of the pelvic fracture type,anatomical reduction of the fracture and efforts to reduce postoperative complications can effectively improve functional recovery of the joint after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.

Objective The aim of this study is to examine the expressions of Toll like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR9 in the peripheral blood B lymphocytes of SLE patients and to analyze the correlation between TLR7/9 and clinical parameters. Methods lntracellular expression of TLR7/9 in the peripheral blood CD19+Blymphocytes was analyzed in 50 SLE patients and 30 healthy controls by flow cytometry. The difference of intracellular TLR7/9 expression levels in two groups was compared. Furthermore,the correlation between TLR7/9 expression and clinical parameters such as ESR, CRP, complement 3 (C3), complement 4 (CA), the level of serum IgG, anti-double stranded DNA antibody, anti-nuclear antibodies, SLEDAI score and urine protein excretion level, were analyzed. Results Compared with healthy subjects, the proportion of B cells expressing TLR7 and TLR9 was higher among SLE patients. Positive correlation was observed between TLR7 expression levels and clinical measurement of the SLEDAI and ESR. Negative correlation was observed between TLR7 expression levels and serum C3 levels. Positive correlation was observed between TLR9 expression levels and SLEDAI scores. Negative correlation was observed between TLR9 expression levels and serum C3 levels. Conclusion TLR7 and TLR9 expression is increased in the peripheral blood B cells of SLE patients, and correlates well with clinical parameters.

Purpose:The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of color Doppler Ultrasound in Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) with hepatic venous(HV) outflow obstruction.Materials and Methods:The features of ultrasonography in 138 patients of Budd-Chian Syndrome were analyzed and compared with that of angiography.Results:83 patients had membranous obstruction and 45 segmental occlusion of HV.10 patients had HV stenosis.The ultrasound was able to reveal stenosis,atresia,emboli,or membranous obstruction in hepatic venous outflow tract.Collateral branches could be seen between the hepatic veins with short hepatic vein expanded.Both HV and IVC were involved in 35 cases,with thrombus in IVC in 11 and HV in 7.There was two false positive cases and 3 false negative in ultrasound diagnosis.Conclusion: The position and type of occlusion in HV could be accurately detected by color Doppler ultrasound,and so was the existence and degree of collateral circulation,which were of aid for the operation and follow-up.
