Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2015;24(2):140-143
Objective To evaluate the value of transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound(2D-TVS)and transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-TVS) in the diagnosis of intrauterine lesions with abnormal uterine bleeding.Methods Intrauterine lesions for 171 patients underwent 2D-TVS followed by 3D-TVS in the same session.Within 10 days of the sonographic session,each patient underwent pathologic histology examination after hysteroscopy examination or surgery therapy,which was considered the reference standard.For each of the two imaging methods,sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy were calculated.Results The results of 2D-TVS and 3D-TVS had good agreement with pathological results in endometrial hyperplasia,endometrial polyps,uterus submucous myoma and endometrial cancer.For 2D-TVS,sensitivity was 84.5%,71.4%,86.8%,66.7%,and specificity was 86.7%,90.7%,97.0%,98.7%,respectively; For 3D-TVS,sensitivity was 91.4%,87.3%,92.1%,83.3%,and specificity was 93.8%,96.3 %,97.7 %,98.7 %,respectively.The diagnose accordance rate of the 3D-TVS for intrauterine lesions was statistically higher than that of the 2D-TVS (89.5% vs 78.9%,P <0.05).Conclusions The sensitivity and diagnose accordance rate of 3D-TVS was higher than that by 2D-TVS,3D-TVS plays an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intrauterine lesions.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2009;0(18):-
OBJECTIVE To discuss about the infection control management in medical posts located in disaster tents. METHODS The experience of hospital infection control in disaster tent medical posts under special conditions was summarized. RESULTS Under the difficult conditions due to strict management system of infection control and strengthening the posts management,strict disinfection to reduce the spread of the infection was prevented. There were 15877 injured victims treated in disaster tents medical posts and 80 of them were seriously injured,but no infectious disease outbreak incidents were happened,and the safety of every victim and medical staff was ensured. CONCLUSIONS Strengthening management and strictly conducting disinfection and isolation system especially in primitive conditions could prevent the onset and spread of the nosocomial infection.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in the aged. Methods Forty-two over 60 patients with obstruction sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) and 42 matched but less than 60 years OSAHS patients were selected, who were admitted to our hospital from February 2003 to December 2005. The clinical presentations and the results of PSG monitoring were analyzed between the two groups. Results The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and microarousal index (MAI) in the aged group were significantly lower than that in the younger group (P0.05). The number of severe OSAHS in the aged group was less than in the younger group (P

Objective: To determine if fusion genes of HSV-tk gene and cytokine gene have synergy on the cell killing of the Hep-2 human laryngeal carcinoma cell line in vitro. Methods: Different fusion genes expressing vectors PL(TI) SN, PL(TT)SN and PL(TK)SN were generated by recombinant DNA technology. Hep-2 was infected by the recombinant retrovirus. The positive clones were obtained after G418 selection and were termed Hep/TI, Hep/TT and Hep/TK respectively. The integration and expression of fusion genes in Hep-2 cells were identified by RT-PCR and Southern blot. The growth state and GCV killing effect of fusion genes modified cells were used to investigate the expression of fusion genes and antitumour effect on Hep-2 cells. Results: RT-PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration and expression of fusion genes in Hep-2 cells. There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between the Hep/TI and Hep/ TK.but the growth of Hep/TT was restrained. After the treatment of GCV the Hep/TI, Hep/TT and Hep/TK all showed high sensitivity to GCV. The killing effect of GCV on Hep/TT was the most siginificant and bystander effects were observed siginificantly in vitro. Conclusion: The fusion genes of HSV-tk and cytokine gene have synergistic effects on killing Hep-2 cell after treatment of GCV in vitro,which might have therapeutic potentials for laryngocarcinoma.

Objective To study of the effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM): Herba radix polygoni multiflori preparata (RPMP) on the cultured melanocytes(MC). Methods Extracts of TMC RPMP treated the cultured melanocytes, and tyrosinase activity, melanin level and proliferation of the cells were determined. Meanwhile, method of micropore filter was used to measure the ability of cell migration. Results TCM RPMP markedly promoted the proliferation and migration of MC in a dose-dependent manner at a range of 0~150?g/ml. Conclusions TCM RPMP can promote the proliferation and migration of MC in vitro. And it suggests that this drug could be used to treat vitiligo.

Vascular dementia,an acquired,persistent syndrome of intelligent disorder,mainly caused by cerebrovascular disease is one of the main types of senile dementia.Its pathogenesis remains unclear.Brain-derived neurotrophic factor sustains multiple neuronic survival,development, differentiation,and repair following injury.It also induces and maintains the long-term potentiation of hippocampus and cortex,and changes the morphologic plasticity of hippocampal neuron by regulating hippocanoal synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity.It participates in the processes of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory,and it may play an important role in the onset and development of vascular dementia.

Objective To estimate reliability of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in measuring liver stiffness of volunteers and patients with chronic liver disease and to assess inter-rater consistency.Methods MRE was performed on a 3.0 T scanner in all subjects,including 24 volunteers (control group) and 64 patients with liver disease (chronic liver disease group).Liver stiffness was measured blindly by two raters.The pathological fibrosis score was applied as a standard reference for liver fibrosis in 22 patients.The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate inter-rater reliability.The differences of liver stiffness between two groups were evaluated using non-parametric MannWhitney U test.Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between fibrosis stages and liver stiffness.Results The intraclass correlation coefficient of liver stiffness was perfect (ICC =0.99,P < 0.01)between two raters.There was significant difference of mean stiffness between control group and patient group (U =90.5,P <0.01) with(2.35 ±0.34) kPa and(4.17 ± 0.47) kPa,respectively.The correlation between fibrosis stage (3,3,5,5 and 6 patients in fibrosis stage S0,S1,S2,S3 and S4) and stiffness (2.13,3.25,3.82,5.45 and 7.35 kPa) was very strong (r =0.96,P <0.01).Conclusion MRE is a reliable and promising tool to measure liver stiffness and to assess liver fibrosis.

Breast-contour preservation(BCP)encompasses all strategies to preserve the contour of the breast following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction (IBR). With the continuous advancement of breast surgery, postoperative outcomes and quality of life of breast cancer patients have been significantly improved. Previous studies reported on BCP as a new comprehensive parameter for evaluating outcomes of breast cancer treatment. Based on preoperative comprehensive evaluation of patients′ general condition, characteristic of breast tumor, and breast morphology, individualized surgical strategy is formulated to improve BCP for early-stage breast cancer and improve postoperative outcomes of patients. Combined with the morphological characteristics of Chinese women′s breasts, breast contour can be preserved not only by BCS and IBR, but also by nipple-areola complex-sparing mastectomy in some breast cancer patients, thereby reducing psychosomatic impact as a result of losing breast mound.
