10～7/mL specimens,17 were detected highly positive by PCR teststrip method,in 27 cases of 10～5～10～7 specimens 23 were intermediately positive,in 27 cases of 10～3～10～5 specimens 22 were weakly positive,showing statistical significance.All 28 cases

Objective　To study the diagnostic value of pleural fluid telomerase activity in distinguishing a malignant from a benign pleural effusion. Methods　Using a PCR-based assay, telomerase activity was examined in the pleural fluid cells obstained from 69 patients with pleural effusions (37 malignant, 32 benign). Results were compared with cytologic evaluation and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Results　Of the 37 malignant specimens，26（70.27%）contained detectable telomerase activity. The positive rate in malignant pleural effusions was significantly higher than that in benign origin (2/32). Detection of telomerase in effusions was more sensitive than CEA level evaluation for the identification of pleural malignancy (telomerase assay: sensitivity=70.27%, specificity=93.75%; CEA: sensitivity=51.35%, specificity=96.87%). The consistant rate of telomerase with cytology was 54.05%. Conclusion　The detection of telomerase activity may be a useful adjunct to cytopathologic methods in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusions. It may be useful in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusions.

ObjectiveTo observe the lesions of psoriasis vulgaris by confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM).MethodsThe typical lesions of 120 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were observed by CLSM,and scanning results were recorded.ResultsOf the 120 patients with psoriasis vulgaris,all (100％)had dilated and twisted capillaries in dermal papillae,113 (94.17％) acanthosis,106 (88.33％) parakeratosis,86 (71.67％) Munro microabscesses at the level of stratum corneum,71(59.17％) diminished or disappeared stratum granulosum.There were a few(1 to 2) dilated capillary lumens in papillary dermis,with no obvious reduction in the distance between dermal papillae.Some dermal papillary rings lost their integrity or brightness slightly in 24 of the 27 patients with psoriasis guttata.The height of stratum spinosum was 96.85 ± 17.88 μm (ranged:80-150 μm) in patients with psoriasis guttata,lower than that in those with plaque psoriasis (average:143.45 ± 23.19 μm,range:100-190 μm).In lesions of plaque psoriasis,the capillaries in dermal papillae were apparently dilated with hyperemia,showing a characteristic'S' shape or horseshoe appearance; the diameter of dermal papillae was increased and the distance between dermal papillae was reduced,giving a 'transverse section of lotus roots' appearance.Dermal papillary rings completely disappeared in 25 of the 29 patients with plaque psoriasis.ConclusionCLSM may serve as an aid in the diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective To assess the rationality of using CT for clinical staging in esophageal carcinoma.Methods 103 esophageal carcinoma patients with radical resection were selected,patients were examined by CT before surgery.To compare the clinical staging on the basis of CT findings with pathology.Results Lymph node enlargement were mentioned in 29 cases (28.2 ％) with CT findings before surgery,but 70 cases (68.0 ％) by pathology.The CT findings and pathology were inconsistent (x2 =11.719,P =0.001).Although the pathology staging in the cases which were positive with CT findings could be later (Z =-3.04,P =0.002),there was no correlation between the two methods (x2 =10.885,r =0.055,P =0.055).Conclusion The accuracy rate in esophageal carcinoma clinical staging by CT before surgery is low.Combining with PET-CT or endoscopic ultrasonography may improve the accuracy rate.

Liver metastasis is one of the critical prognostic factors for colorectal cancer.Complete surgical resection of liver metastases still remains the only potentially curative treatment for patients with liver metastases.There are still some controversies in how to choose the reasonable management for resectable colorectal cancer patients with simultaneous liver metastases,although neoadjuvant chemotherapy,tumor physical ablation technique and minimally invasive technology have made progress in recent years.One case of surgical treatment of synchronous rectal cancer liver metastasis at the Shengjing Hospital with laparoscopic microwave ablation + radical resection of colorectal cancer was disused in order to provide reference for individualized treatment for patients with the same disease.

Plasma Limulus Lysate assay, fibronectin, blood coagulation picture (Fbg, FⅡ, HPT, PT, ⅧR:Ag) and antithrombin-Ⅲ were determined in G1 patients with liver disease. The frequency of endotoxemia depended upon the degree and extent of hepatic injury and the phagocytic activity of the Kupffer cells. The coagulation abnormalities were multifactorial, there were not only the changes of clotting proteins, but also the diminution of antithrombin-Ⅲ. Multivariate analysis showed that the frequency of endotoxemia was closely correlated with the changes of fibronectin, clotting proteins and antithrombin-III (P

Objective To evaluate the performance of drainage through micropores in the treatment of axillary osmidrosis with subcutaneous trimming.Methods Forty-eight patients with axillary osmidrosis were enrolled in this study,and treated by subcutaneous trimming.After removal of apocrine sweat glands and hair follicles,a scalpel was used to cut several micropores (measuring 3 mm in length) along dermal ridges in skin flaps.Then,drainage was carried out through the micropores.Subsequently,the incisions were sewed up with 3-0 sutures followed by compression bandaging with elastic bandages.Dressings were changed and incisions were examined at 24 hours after operation,and bandages were taken off and skin flap viability was evaluated at 10 days.All the patients were followed for 3 months.Results After treatment,sweating was decreased and axillary odor disappeared in all the patients with a return to normal social activities.No obvious scar formed.Conclusion Drainage through micropores performs well in the treatment of axillary osmidrosis with subcutaneous trimming.
