Objective To observe the effects of interferon ? (IFN?) on thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene expressions in FRTL5 cells induced by thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb). Methods TSAb crude fraction was extracted by polyethylene glycol 4000. Recombinant rat interferon ? (0, 1, 10, 10 2, 10 3 U/ml) was added to the FRTL5 cells induced by TSAb, and then expressions of TG, TPO mRNA were measured by Northern blot, the cell growth was measured by 〔 3H〕 thymidine incorporation. Results (1)TSAb increased TG, TPO gene expressions, and 〔 3H〕 thymidine incorporation. (2)Interferon ?inhibitedTSAb inducedTG, TPOgeneexpressionsand〔 3H〕 thymidine incorporation. Conclusion Interferon ? inhibits the growth and function of thyrocytes induced by TSAb, which suggests that interferon ? might regulate thyroid function in Graves' disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic-harmonic scalpel in open thyroid surgery.Methods Totally 70 patients with thyroid surgery from January 2012 to January 2014 in some hospital were selected as the study objects, who were divided into a control group and an observation group equally. The patients in the control group went through traditional surgery, and the ones in the observation group underwent open thyroid surgery. Then the operative time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay before and after surgery and body stress-related serum markers of two groups were analyzed and compared.Results The observation group had the operative time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stay significantly better than those of the control group, and the body stress-related serum markers 5 days after operation significantly lower than that of the control group, with P<0.05.Conclusion The short-term clinical effect of ultrasonic-harmonic scalpel in open thyroid surgery is significantly better than that of traditional surgery, which has high safety and lower degree of adverse physical stress.

Objective To describe the interpositional omentum and demonstrate its clinical significance.MethodsCT and clinical data of the cases whose suprahepatic gaps widen were reviewed and the contrast of CT was adjusted to observe further.ResultsIn 1 916 cases with upper abdominal CT data,suprahepatic gap was widen in all 152 cases,and 119 cases showed fat density(6.21% ).There were 3 cases of trauma and 3 cases of acute abdomen in the 119 cases CT in the 119 cases displayed free gas under diaphragma,but displayed fat density after contrast adjusted.There were 11 cases undergoing operations,1 for sigmoid rupture 4 liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension,3 gastric cancer,and 1 acute cholecystitis,1 bile duct carcinoma and Ⅰ case congenital cystic dilatation of common bile duct.The other 108 cases did not undergo surgical operation.ConclusionsInterpositional omentum is a clinical phenomenon that the omentum was shift in suprahepatic gap covering the liver surface.It is not rarely,the incidence rate being 6.21% ( 119/1 916) in our study.The occurrence mechanism may be similar to that of Chilaiditi syndrome.It is difficult to differentiate interpositional omentum from free gas under diaphragms on CT plain scan picture,but it is easy after contrast adjusted of CT.Free gas under diaphragma should not be identify incorrecdied and patients should not undergo unnecessary surgical procedure.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of hyponatremia and the relationship between hyponatremia and prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) for in-hospital patients. Methods: A total of 515 consecutive in-hospital DCM patients treated in HF center of Fu Wai Hospifal from 2008-10 to 2013-10 were retrospectively studied. Hyponatremia was deifned as the serum level of sodium < 135 mmol/L at ifrst admission. The prevalence of hyponatremia and the relationship between hyponatremia and DCM prognosis were studied including the risk of in-hospital time and mortality, the rates of all cause death and HF worsening death after discharge. Surviving patients were followed-up by clinical or telephone visit until 2014-11 or until the death. Results: There were 134/515 (26.0%) patients suffered from hyponatremia at admission, the serum level of sodium was related to HF symptom duration, NYHA functional classiifcation, systolic blood pressure (SBP), left atrial diameter and total bilirubin level, allP<0.01. Compared with non-hyponatremia, the patients with hyponatremia presented longer in-hospital time(14.8±11.1) days vs (11.2±5.8) days and higher in-hospital mortality (18.7% vs 1.8%), bothP< 0.01. There were 483 survivors discharged and were followed-up for (30.7 ± 19.5) months, during that period, the rates of all cause death and HF worsening death were 26.5% and 21.9% respectively. The patients with hyponatremia had the higher rates of all cause death (47.7% vs 20.3%) and HF worsening death (44.0% vs 15.5%), bothP<0.01. Multiple Cox regression analysis showed that with adjusted HF history (> 6 months vs≤ months ), NYHA functional classiifcation (Ⅱ-Ⅳ), SBP (per 10 mmHg elevation), total bilirubin level (per 1 mg/dl change) and LVEDD (per 5 mm change), the hyponatremia at admission is still one of the important independent predictors for all cause death (HR=1.836, 95% CI (1.248-2.702),P<0.01 and HF worsening death HR=2.139, 95% CI (1.406-3.253),P<0.01 in DCM patients after discharge. Conclusion: Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder for in-hospital DCM patients, it is related to longer in-hospital time and higher mortality; higher rates of all cause death and HF worsening death after discharge in DCM patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute irradiation by high power millimeter wave on the pathological changes of mouse lung tissue. Methods The BALB/c mice were vertically placed under the high power millimeter wave equipment with working frequency of 34. 1 GHz, and the mean output power were 5,10 and 12 W while the distance between the animal and the bottom of the irradiation horn were 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The mice were tied on the platform and continuously received irradiation until death. After immediate dissection, the mouse lung was quickly rinsed with 0.9% NaCl solution, fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution and mounted for paraffin section. After HE staining and image taken with a CCD camera, the Image Pro Plus software and quantitative image analysis by combining the mean optical density and area was used to determine the pathological injuries of the lung. Result Using the HA23. 16 and HA9. 92 pyramid horns with different physical parameter, the mice exposed to irradiation with high mean power of 12 W were dead most quickly, the death time was only about 110 s. Meanwhile, the death time was about 30 min after irradiation with the mean power of 5 W. There was significant hemorrhage in the mouse lung with high power millimeter irradiation, although the hemorrhage degree was different under different irradiation parameters. When the mean power were 10 and 12 W.the hemorrhage degree of lung was extremely high, where the bronchia and blood vessel of lung was markedly broken. A lot of cells of bronchia had been released. However, when the mean power was 5 W, the hemorrhage degree of lung was less observed, while the bronchia and blood vessels had not severe fracture. Conclusions High power millimeter wave wave irradiation has remarkable effect on mice lung. The damage degree of lung tissue is highly correlated with the mean power of millimeter wave irradiation. As the high power millimeter used in this study could result in significant thermal effect, the acute heat-induced response might lead to animal death by causing serious lung injury.

Objective To explore the CT and MR imaging features of nodular fasciitis(NF), which will in return improve the standard and quality of diagnosis. Methods CT (n = 4) and MRI (n = 5) findings of pathologically proved nodular fasciitis in 9 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of 9 NF, 5 were located in the lower extremities, 2 in the abdominal wall, and the others in the acoustic duct. The resected tumor size vary from 1.1 to 9. 5 cm in the largest diameter and mean (3.7±0.3) cm. All lesions appeared as a discrete solid mass on imaging. The CT value of lesions was similar to muscle. MR imaging manifested as a hypo to isointense lesion on T_1WI and hyperintense signal intensity on T_2WI. There was homogeneous or heterogeneous moderate to significant enhancement in the lesions. Conclusion CT and MRI can provide helpful information for the clinical and differential diagnosis of NF.
