Objective To compare the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with that of laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) in localization diagnosis of insulinoma. Methods Thirty-three patients with insulinoma,who received operation, were retrospectively reviewed. All cases were examined by both CEUS and LUS before the tumor removed. Both imaging modalities in diagnosis of insulinoma were analyzed. Results By this study the sensitivity and accuracy of CEUS were 92.31% and 90.0% respectively. Those of LUS were consistent with pathologic findings completely. The accuracy of CEUS was not different with that of LUS (χ2 = 4.21, P = 0. 04). Conclusions CEUS can be used for location diagnosis of insulinoma. For the patients expecting laparoscopic treatment, combination of CEUS with LUS will be suggested before insulinoma is removed.

Objective In order to extrapolate the respiratory dysfunction of patients in early stage of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP),transpulmonary thermodilution technique was used in swine models of severe acute dichlorvos poisoning (SADP) to evaluate respiratory function.Methods Twenty healthy female swine were randomly divided into dichlorvos ( n =7 ),atropine ( n =7 ) and control (n =6) groups.In the dichlorvos group,the swine were administered with 80％ emulsified dichlorvos (100mg/kg) via the gastric tube toinduce SADP.In the atropine group,swinewere administered with dichlorvos,and 0.5h later,atropine was injected to obtain and maintain atropinization.The swine of control group were administered with saline solution instead.Arterial and venous blood samples were collected 0,0.5,1,2,4 and 6 hours after modeling for blood gas analysis and detecting acetylcholinesterase levels.Both extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index ( PVPI ) were measured by using PiCCO (pulse indicator continuous cardiac output ). At the termination of the experiment,the animals were sacrificed and the lung wet/dry weight ratio was determined and histopathological changes of lung tissue were also observed under microscope.Results In the dichlorvos group,EVLWI and PVPI were substantially increased from 0.5 h to 6 h after modeling but PaO2/FiO2 decreased from 0-6 h after modeling.In the atropine group,EVLWI and PVPI increased initially,but then they decreased 1 h afterwards and PaO2/FiO2 was also gradually decreased from 0-1 h.In both dichlorvos group and atropine group,the EVLWI was negatively correlated with PO2/FiO2 and positively correlated with PVPI.Compared with the control group,the lung wet/dry weight ratio increased markedly in the dichlorvos group and mildly increased in the atropine group.Meanwhile,the histopathological changes of lung tissue were obvious in the dichlorvos group and mild in the atropine group.Conclusions SADP swine experienced substantial changes in respiratory function. EVLWI was a reliable and valuable indicator for evaluating respiratory function in the early stage of AOPP.

Aim To investigate the effects and mechanisms of CCK-8 on IL-1? induced proliferation of RSC-364, a rat fibroblast-like synovial cell line. Methods MTT colorimetric assay and Western blot were used to measure cell proliferation and p38MAPK phosphorylation level to elucidate the mechanism of CCK-8 in IL-1? induced RSC-364 proliferation. Results CCK-8 significantly inhibited IL-1?-induced RSC-364 proliferation at 10 -12 , 10 -10 , 10 -8 , 10 -6 mol ? L -1 , and IL-1?-activated p38MAPK activity at 10 -10 , 10 -8 , 10 -6 mol?L -1 in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of CCK-8 was blocked by CR1409 (a CCKA-receptor antagonist) and CR2945 (a CCKB-receptor antagonist). Conclusion CCK-8 inhibits IL-1?-induced RSC-364 proliferation, probably by reducing p38MAPK activity through CCKA and CCKB receptors.

Aim To investigate the effects of cholecystokinin-octopeptide on IL-12 secreted in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells induced by lipopolysaccharide.Methods The CCK receptor subtypes were investigated by immunofluorescence in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot were used to estimate the contents of IL-12 and p38MAPK activity.Results CCK-1R and CCK-2R were detected in BM-DC;CCK-8(at concentrations of 10-10,10-8,10-6 mol?L-1)could significantly increase the secretion of IL-12 in the LPS-induced DC, and LPS-activated p38MAPK activity in a dose-dependent manner.The effect of CCK-8 was reduced partially by CR1409(a CCK-1R antagonist) and CR2945(a CCK-2R antagonist).Conclusion CCK-8 could dose-dependently increase the expressions of IL-12 in LPS-induced DC,probably by promoting p38MAPK activity and the effect was mediated by CCK1 and CCK2 receptors.

ObjectiveTo assess the safety and efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) treatment of renal carcinomas.MethodsFifteen patients with 17 renal tumors were retrospectively analyze. The patients’ ages were in the range of 46-80 years (65.2±9.4 years), the tumor diameters were in the range of 1.1-3.9 cm (2.3±0.7 cm) and biopsy pathological results were renal cell carcinoma. All of the tumors were inconspicuous on conventional ultrasound, while conspicuous on contrast enhanced-computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Seventeen tumors were ablated under the guidance of CEUS.ResultsAll tumors were successfully visualized on CEUS and MWA was performed under CEUS guidance. The durations of energy application for each tumor were in the range of 5-11 min (mean± SD 7.3±2.2 min). The mean session of CEUS-guided MWA for each tumor was 1.1±0.3. All patients were followed up for 3-49 months (median, 17 months) to observe the therapeutic effects and complications. There was no local tumor progress and major complication. ConclusionCEUS-guided PMWA is a safety, efficient and feasible therapy for patients with RCC which is inconspicuous on conventional US.

ObjectiveTo Compare the clinical results between microscope and loupes which used in microsurgical discectomy.MethodsA prospective randomized controlled trial of 93 patients who had undergone microsurgical discectomy from January 2007 to December 2010 was performed.Clinical results were assessed by comparing the following parameters between patients who had undergone the surgery by microscope and loupes:length of stay,hospitalization cost,operative time,estimated blood loss,Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and JOA recovery rate,Odom's standard.ResultsForty-nine patients underwent surgery by microscope,and forty-four patients underwent surgery by loupes.Eighty patients received outpatient or telephone follow-up.The follow-up period was 6.17 to 52.90 months with an average of (29.64±13.05) months,and the follow-up rate was 86.02％.According preoperative data,the two groups didn't differ with respect to age,gender,level of radiculopathy,or preoperative JOA score and JOA recovery rate.No statistically significant differences were identified in postoperative JOA score and JOA recovery rate,length of stay,hospitalization cost,length of follow-up,or relapse rate.Statistically significant differences were identified in operative time,estimated blood loss,and follow-up JOA score and JOA recovery rate.Conclusion Microscope can provide relatively more clear and comfortable vision for the surgery.It can short the operative time,decrease blood loss,reduce the potential risk of nerve injury,and retain more normal tissue,which can ensure better clinical results.

Electrophysiological target localization is the key technology in microelectrode-guided stereotactic neurosurgery for Parkinson's disease (PD). A neuronal discharge signal analysis method based on Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) was introduced. By decomposing the clinical microelectrode recording (MER) data of PD into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), the marginal spectrums of IMFs were achieved, and the characteristic factor correlated with brain structure was explored, then the HHT characteristic factor curve of neuronal discharge signals of microelectrode piqure locus could be achieved. The structures of neuronal and boundaries can be distinguished by the characteristic factor curve, and then damage range and damage point can be identified. This method can assist clinicians in ascertaining operation target effectively and researching into the cases of PD.
