Objective To study the relationship between MRI features and pathological characteristics of the renal clear cell carcinoma,and to conduct a comparative analysis.Methods 23 patients renal clear cell carcinoma who were proved by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative MRI findings and the postoperative pathological characteristics were compared. Results MRI plain scan showed uniform signal was seen in 2 cases, and mixed signal was found in 21 cases with cystic and necrosis. Blood was seen in 11 cases and false envelope was present in 12 cases. Dynamic enhanced scanning revealed that solid part was enhanced obviously, it was lower than the renal cortex but higher than the renal medulla in cortical phase and continued to be enhanced in medullary phase and delay phase.Postoperative pathological characteristics showed that tumor profiles were yellow-white and cystic and necrotic structures were present within tumors, blood was found in 17 cases. Endoscopic tumor cells were present in solid nests or acinar structure, and mesenchyma was rich in thin-walled vessels involved in reticular interval.14 cases were found to have false envelope.Conclusion Renal clear carcinoma MRI imaging manifestion is related to organixational srructure. MR plain scan combined with dynamic enhanced scan has very high value in the diangnodis of renal cell carcoinoma.

Objective Acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD) is a life-threatening condition.Open surgical (OS) repair with a prosthetic graft has been a conventional treatment for ATBAD.Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR),as a less invasive and potentially safer technique,has been used increasingly in recent decade.Evidence to support the use of TEVARin these patients is needed.This meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of TEVAR versus conventional OS in patients with ATBAD.Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library (last searched 2010,Issue 4),MEDLINE,EMBASE,CINAHL,Web of Science 、OpenSIGLE 、National Technical Information Service(NTIS) 、CNKI 、Chinese Biomedicine Database 、VIP、WanFang Data for clinical trials and additional sources for published and unpublished trials until 1/18/2011.Controlled trials in which patients with ATBAD were assigned to TEVAR or OS repair were included.The authors extracted independently the following information using a specifically designed data collection form for individual trial included:first author and the year of publication,study population,interventions used (TEVAR or OS repair) and outcomes (short-term mortality,short-term complications,long-term complications and long-term mortality rates).Data were extracted on the relevant methodological domains to minimize the bias in the analysis with use of the Cochrane methods for bias assessment and Grading of Recommendations Assessments Development and Evaluation (GRADE)methods.For each outcome,GRADE criteria and Cochrane Bias evaluation were used to evaluate the quality of the evidence with regard to inconsistency (heterogeneity),indirectness,imprecision,and other potential sources of bias,such as publication and reporting bias.Revman5.0 and GRAED profiler 3.2.2 software were used to analyze the data.Results Five trials (318 participants) were included in the analysis.The five studies were limited by lack of allocation concealment and blindness,and the studies were small.The evidence quality determined with the GRADE approach for 30-day mortality was poor and for other variables was very poor.As compared with ATBAD,TEVAR associated with a significantly reduced short-term mortality,M-H fixed odds ratio 0.19,95% CI [0.09,0.39],P<0.001.However,TEVAR could not improve the postoperative outcomes such as complications or long-term mortality,M-H random odds ratio 1.40,95% CI[0.24,8.18].Conclusion TEVAR can be weakly recommended as an alternative for the treatment of ATBAD in selected cases and may not be used as a general option in place of surgery based on the current evidences.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has spread from Wuhan to all parts of China since December 2019, and the prevention and control of NCP is a top priority for medical staff. Now report three cases of NCP patients, whose viral nucleic acids still positive in stool after throat swab detection turned negative. In view of the highly homologous and similar clinical manifestations between the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and the severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS) related coronaviruses, it is recommended to attach great importance to the detection of the viral nucleic acids in stool, with the reference of SARS prevention and control experience. In order to minimize the risks of gastrointestinal spread, the detection of 2019-nCoV nucleic acids in stool may be recommended as the reference standard of disisolation and discharge.

Seven target compounds coupled by rhein and furoxan were synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, and MS. All target compounds were evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against human hepatoma cells HepG2 and Bel-7402, human colon cancer cells HCT116, human osteosarcoma cells U2OS, drug-resistant cells Bel-7402/5-FU and normal hepatocytes cells LO2 in vitro by thiazolyl blue(MTT) colorimetry. The results indicated that all target compounds had more potent anti-proliferative activity than their parent compound rhein. Additionally, compound 4g had stronger proliferation inhibitory activity on HepG2, Bel-7402, U2OS and Bel-7402/5-FU,with little effect on the proliferation of normal cells, exhibiting selective inhibitory activity. Griess assay was used to measure the release of nitric oxide in vitro. Results showed that compound 4g could increase the releases NO in HepG2 cells, which may be associated with its antitumor effects. Furthermore, the antitumor activity of compound 4g was attenuated by NO scavenger (hemoglobin), which indicates that the antitumor activity of compound 4g may be partly related to the release of NO.
