Objective To improve the ultrasonic differential diagnosis of thyroid lump through analyzing pathological and ultrasonic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods Records of 173 cases papillary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in terms of preoperative ultrasonic manifestation, lesion size, echo,boundary, calcification, blood supply, lymph node metastasis and accompanying diseases etc. Results The avthe 173 papillary thyroid carcinoma cases, the number of cancer nodule was 203. There was no statistical difference between papillary thyroid carcinoma lesion and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma lesion in terms of low echo and ill-defined borders (P > 0. 05). The former is higher than the latter in blood flow speed, microcalcification rate, and preoperative ultrasonic diagnosis rate (P <0. 01, P <0. 05, P <0. 01 respectively). The mulifocality rate for the 173 cases with papillary thyroid carcinoma is 33.53% (58/173). There was no statistical difference between papillary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in cancer lesion(P >0. 05), while the former has a higher rate of lymph node metastasis than the latter(P <0. 01). Preoperative diagnosis rate is higher in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma cases without other thyroid diseases than in cases with other thyroid diseases (P < 0. 05). No statistical difference of preoperative diagnosis rate was seen between papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with other thyroid diseases and those without other thyroid diseases (P > 0. 05). Conclusions The overall evaluation of thyroid nodule diameter, boundary, echo, small calcification, lymph node metastasis, blood supply, accompanying diseases and so on can improve diagnosis of primary papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To summarize our experience on the treatment for severe vascular injuries in the operation of great saphenous varicose vein. Methods The clinical data of 4 cases (5 lower limbs) from December 2004 to April 2009 of severe vascular injuries were retrospectively analyzed. For the lower limbs in which from the end of femoral artery to the upper part of posterior tibial artery were stripped, reconstruction operation using blood vessel prothesis was performed, above knee amputation was performed because of limb gangrene. For three limbs in which 10 cm to 15 cm superficial femoral artery were stripped, reconstruction operation using autologous saphenous vein were performed, above knee amputation was performed for one limb 5 days after the operation. For the limb in which 2 cm superficial femoral vein were cut, reconstruction operation using autologous saphenous vein were performed. Results No cases died perioperatively,for four limbs of injuried artery, ampution were performed for two limbs(50% ) ;two limbs (50%) were saved. The patient of injuried superficial femoral vein recovered. Conclusions Severe vascular injuries can be prevented and its incidence reduced by improving the awareness for iatrogenic vascular injuries,accurate operation; once the vascular injury occurred, prompt and rational measures must be adopted.

Objective To explore the incidence and pathologic feature of patients with thyroid carcinoma treated at the First Hospital of Jilin University. Methods From January 2000 to July 2010,clinicopathologic data of 1018 patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed. Results The cases of thyroid carcinoma between 2008 and 2010 were more than 73% higher than that in the preceding 8 years. Cancer cases from January 2009 to July 2010 were more1018 cases reviewed, 976 cases were clearly classified pathologically. Papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma were present in 897 (91.91%), 43(4. 41% ), 22(2. 25% ) and 6(0. 61% ) cases respectively. Of the 1018 cases reviewed,804 cases were recorded with or without lymphnode metastasis. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of male and female patient were 39. 24% and 28. 64% respectively and the difference was significant( χ2 = 6. 71 ,P <0. 05). The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age <45 years and age ≥45 years were 37.65% and 23. 26%respectively and the difference was significant ( χ2 = 19. 54, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions In the past ten and a half years, the number of the thyroid carcinoma patients treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University increased year by year. The increase of papillary thyroid carcinoma was the most obvious. Thyroid carcinoma was more common among females. The peak incidence age of males and females was 30 -59. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of males was larger than that of females. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age <45years was larger than that of age≥45 years.

BACKGROUND: Embryonic pancreatic tissue is characterized by its abundance, potent in proliferation & differentiation, and minimal immunological rejection. It is widely considered as potential pancreatic endocrinological stem cells resource for treating diabetes mellitus.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the embryonic mouse pancreatic tissue isolation technique and observe the recipients' blood glucose regulatory effects of the grafted embryonic pancreas in an experimental diabetes mellitus mouse model.METHODS: Pancreatic tissue from C57B1/6 mouse embryos at embryonic days 11.5-16.5 was isolated under the stereomicroscope. C57BL/6 mouse models of streptozocin-induced diabetes mellitus were established and then randomly divided into two groups: transplantation group, in which, five pieces of pancreatic tissue of mice at embryonic 16.5 days were transplanted into mouse renal capsule, and sham-operated control group, in which, 0.05 mL RPMI1640 culture medium was injected into mouse renal capsule. When blood glucose level of the transplantation group mouse was≤ 11.2 mmol/L, the endocrine function of embryonic pancreatic tissue transplanted was detected by IPGTT and IPITT methods and then the transplanted graft was removed for observing the blood glucose relapse.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Nearly intact pancreatic tissue of mice at embryonic days 11.5-16.5 could be isolated through the use of stereomicroscope. Pancreatic tissue morphology and color of mice ≤ embryonic 12.5 days were difficultly distinguished from adjacent tissue and they could only be isolated carefully according to the relationship with adjacent organs. Pancreatic tissue of mice > embryonic 12.5 days exhibited initial endocrinological tissue morphology mimic white cauliflower. Histological and ELISA examinations showed that embryonic pancreatic tissue could express and secrete insulin and the insulin level was gradually increased with developmental time. Embryonic pancreatic tissue could grow beneath the recipient renal capsule. The insulin and glucagon expression in the post-transplantational pancreatic tissue graft was increased compared with prior to transplantation. These results suggest that pancreatic tissue is a potential stem cell resource for treating the diabetes mellitus.
