Objective To determine the nature of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes,the study of CT-guided transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy(CT-TBNA) was conducted. Methods According to classification and locating standard of mediastinal lymph nodes,CT-TBNA was performed in 158 mediastinal lymph nodes of 73 patients,including 54 primary lung cancer with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes,5 malignant lymphoma, 3 mediastinal abscess and 11 mediastinal inflammatory adenopathy. Results CT confirmed that the needles were inside all 158 lymph nodes. Adequate aspirates for histologic and/or cytologic diagnosis were obtained in 136 of 158 (86%) lymph node biopsies. No serious complications occurred. Conclusion Locating standard of CT-guided TBNA was reliable. Puncture was safe and cost-effective.CT-TBNA was important for ascertaining the nature of mediastinal adenopathy and staging of neoplasms.

Objective To analyse the pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of tethered cord syndrome(TCS) and to improve the knowledge of the disease.Method The clinical data of 16 cases with TCS who underwent surgical lysis were analyzed,retrospectively.Results Thirteen cases were followed-up for 6 months to 1 year.Three cases with handicap of lower limb function and aesthesia and rectum and bladder sphincter dysfunction got good outcome,and 2 cases showed no improvement,while 10 cases with no symptoms(didn′t) appear TCS.Conclusions It is necessary to diagnose and manage as early as possible.The tethered cord lysis can relieve the symptoms of some cases and control development of TCS.

Objective The effect of angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) on cardiac hypertrophy were studied in SD rat with different ages. Methods Cardiocyte and cardiac fibroblasts in neonatal SD rat group and 12 months SD rat group were cultured in vitro. In each ages group, control MEM, angⅡ, angⅡantagonist(Losartan) and angⅡ+losartan were administrated respectively. 3 H leu incorporation into cardiocyte and 3 H TdR incorporation into cardiac fibroblasts were measured in neonatal rat group and 12 month rat group. To investigate the effect of cardiac fibroblasts on cardiocyte under the influence of angiotensinⅡ, the supernatant of cultured cardiac fibroblasts with angiotensinⅡ, the supernatant of cultured CBS with losartan and the supernatant of cultured cardiac fibroblasts with angiotensinⅡ and Losartan were added into cultured cardiocyte respectively. 3 H leu incorporation into cardiocyte were tested. Results 10 6 mol/L angⅡcan evidently augment 3 H leu incorporation into cardiocyte ( P

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) in fetal vertebra development of the mouse. Methods The development of mouse fetal vertebra was observed dynamically,and the expression of HIF-1? mRNA at various stages was also detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results The cartilaginous spine column began to form at E13.5.The primary ossification center was observed at E15.5,then the osteogenesis expanded and extended to both sides.HIF-1? mRNA began to express at E13.5,and more significantly at E14.5(P

Tyrosine phosphorylation is a key post-translational mechanism that regulates cellular processes and maintains homeostasis.Aberrant changes in tyrosine phosphorylation are often associated with disease states such as metabolicdisorders,cancer and cardiovascular disease.Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are the enzyme family that regulates protein phosphorylation level of tyrosine residues in the cellular processes and signaling ways.So far,scientists have discovered 112 kinds of human PTPs.Among them,PTP1B is widely and clearly studied.Recently,as an enzyme that play a role in oncogenesis,PTP1B has been wildey studied by scientists.Here,we highlight the relationship between protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B and hematologic neoplasms.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of the pregnant women with preeclampsia in blood pressure,glucose and lipid metabolism to hypertension after delivery.Methods One hundred patients of preeclampsias in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Maternal and Child Care Sservice Centre of Weinan from April 2012 to May 2014 were selected as the observation group.One hundred maternal-health at the same period were selected as the control group.All observed objects were followed up from May 2014 to May 2015.The general situation,sugar metabolism,lipid metabolism were recorded when in group and folllowed up.The general situation,sugar metabolism,lipid metabolism in prenatal were contrasted in two groups of prenatal and postpartum.Influence factors for hypertension of preeclampsia in pregnant women after childbirth were analyzed.Results Family history of hypertension,history of long-term use of contraceptives,prenatal body mass index(BMI),postpartum BMI,systolic prenatal,antenatal diastolic in the observation group were higher than that in the control group.The differences were statistically significant (P＜ 0.05).The fasting glucose (FPG),fasting insulin antenatal,prenatal insulin resistance index,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides (TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of prenatal and postpartum in the observation group were (4.51 ±0.48) mmol/L and (5.21±1.08) mmol/L,(10.11±3.88) mU/L and (9.68±4.97) mU/L,(1.64±0.65) and (2.34±1.48),(6.21±0.98) mmol/L and (5.14±0.51) mmol/L,(3.51±1.35) mmol/L and (1.41 ±0.79) mmol/L,(3.31±0.97) mmol/L and (2.69±0.56) mmol/L,higher than that in the control group ((4.12±0.51) mmol/L and (4.76±0.97) mmol/L,(8.19±2.99) mU/L and (7.25±3.96) mU/L,(1.47 ±0.42) and (1.79±0.79),(5.91± 1.01) mmol/L and (4.99±0.39) mmol/L,(2.96±0.87) mmol/L and (0.86±0.78) mmol/L,(3.01 ± 1.01) mmol/L and (2.46±0.47) mmol/L),the differences were statistically significant(t=5.238,3.690,2.069,2.005,3.225,2.015,2.917,3.600,3.089,2.200,4.661,2.961;P＜0.05).Prenatal and postpartum BMI (OR =1.356,95％ CI 1.012-2.102;OR =1.378,95％ CI 1.034-2.609),fasting blood glucose level of prenatal(OR=1.753,95％CI 2.307-59.257) and postnatal fasting insulin levels(OR =1.351,95％ CI 1.810-112.267),the difference of systolic pressure of prenatal and postnatal(OR=1.247,95％CI 1.208-108.323),the difference between prenatal and postnatal triglycerides (OR =1.119,95％ CI 4.540-77.559),the difference of insulin resistance index (OR =1.529,95％ CI 1.828-92.844) and the difference between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol hypertension (OR =2.547,95％CI 1.763-110.693) were the risk factors that can cause preeclampsia occurs hypertension after childbirth (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Preeclampsia with high blood pressure,abnormal glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism are the risk factors that can cause preeclampsia occurs hypertension after childbirth.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis. Methods Out of 23 patients suffered from endometriosis treated from 1997 to 2000,ureteral obstruction occurred in 2 accompanied by hydronephrosis and dilatation of ureter.Both the 2 underwent sub total hysterectomy, resection of the intumescence in pelvic cavity, and the ureter was freed from the surrounding tissue. Results Ureteral obstruction was relieved in 7～10 days after the procedure. Both the petients were followed up for 2 years without recurrence. Conclusions Attention shoud be called to ureteral obstruction caused by endometriosis.Ultrasonic examination and intravenous pyelogram before operation, close examination of the ureter and adequate freeing of the ureter from it's surrounding tissue during operation, the application of gestrinone for 6 months after the operation, and scheduled following up would yield a satisfactory outcome.
