Objective To evaluate the application and the good qualities of high-resolution ultrasound and CDFI-guided mammotome minimally invasive biopsy device in the diagnosis and treatment of breast lesions.Methods The common clinical operations and the lesions which were guided mammotome minimally invasive biopsy device by high-resolution ultrasound and CDFI were contrasted.The effects of treatment were evaluated.Results 307 le- sions of 102 patients were removed by this method,and the operational process was successful.Patients' skin lacera- tions were tiny.Only one lesion was clinically diagnosed as mild blood clot under skin,but without other complica- tions.Conclusion Contrasted with the common clinily operations.the high-resolution ultrasound and CDFI-guided mammotome minimally invasive biopsy device in the diagnosis and treatment of breast lesion is effective,and the scar is tiny.It releases patients' pain.

AIMTo evaluate the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in prostate cancer patients.

METHODSForty-nine prostate cancer patients with their BMD determined were divided into two groups: the non-treated group included 21 patients before the commencement of ADT and the treated group, 28 patients, who had received ADT for more than 1 year. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in the lumbar spine (L2-4) and femoral neck.

RESULTSThirteen (62 %) non-treated and 23 (82 %) treated patients fulfilled the BMD criteria for osteopenia or osteoporosis. Z scores for age-matched control in lumbar spine and femoral neck were -0.9 +/- 0.7 and -0.6 +/- 0.5, respectively, in the treated group, and -1.8 +/- 1.1 and -1.6 +/- 1.0, respectively, in the non-treated group, the differences between the two groups were highly significant (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONProstate cancer patients who received ADT for more than 1 year had a significantly lower BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral neck than those before the beginning of ADT.

OBJECTIVETo explore the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in the treatment of colorectal polyps.

METHODEMR was applied in the treatment of colorectal polyps.

RESULTSA total of 3578 polyps in 2609 patients were all completely resected except 2 cases and the integrated rate of samples was 99.6%. Intra- and post-operation complications occurred in 22 cases(0.8%), including 7 intraoperative bleeding, 5 postoperative bleeding, and 10 thermal burn, which were cured by symptomatic treatment. A total of 1530 (58.6%) cases were followed-up with 3-12 months and no relapse was found in former place of excision.

CONCLUSIONEMR can be applied in resection of colorectal polyps effectively and safely.

OBJECTIVETo prepare colon-targetting tablets of total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides and evaluate the effect of pectins of different degree of esterification (DE) on sophoridine release profiles in-vitro.

METHODWet granulation technique was employed to prepare petin-based matrix tablets, then tablets were coated the optimal formulation with Kollicoat MAE 30 DP based on the optimal formulation and analysed their release.

RESULTCoated formulation E could target total alkaloids of S. alopecuroides to colon and various DE of pectin exerted different effects on sophoridine release. The release of low DE pectin-based matrix tablets coating with Kollicoat MAE 30 DP approximatedly fitted zere-order eqution, which was erosion depended.

CONCLUSIONLow DE pectin-based matrix tablet coating with Kollicoat MAE 30 DP can deliver sophoridine to colon, hence improve the effectiveness of sophoridine.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical experience of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the patients with groupment acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

METHOD172 patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning were received hyperbaric oxygen therapy besides some other regular therapies from january 2007 to december 2011. The clinical effect were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS160 patients were cured (93%), 12 cases improved (7%), the total effective rate was 100%. The cure rate of the patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 6 hours after the poisoning for 100% (115/115), It was significantly higher than that of patients treated for more than 6 hours [The cure rate was 78.9% (45/57)], The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTreated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy early enough in the patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning, can prevent or reduce the occurrence of delayed encephalopathy, decreasing disability and mortality.

Objective To study the genotypes of 102 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)collected consecutively in 2002 in our hospital Method Multiplex PCR was used to genotype Staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec(SCCmec)element and its variants.Results Among 102 strains of MRSA,the genotypes were as follows:SCCmec-Ⅲ(94 strains),SCCmec-ⅢA(4 strains), SCCmec-Ⅳ(2 stains),SCCmec-Ⅰ(2 stains).Conclusion The predominant genotype of MRSA circulating in this hospital in 2002 was SCCmec-Ⅲ by multiplex PCR.

OBJECTIVETo observe the influence of 1.8 GHz microwave (MW) specific absorption rate (SAR, 3 W/kg) on human lymphocytes DNA damage induced by 4 chemical mutagens [mitomycin C (MMC), bleomycin (BLM), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO)].

METHODSComet assay in vitro was used to detect human lymphocyte DNA damage induced by 1.8 GHz MW, 4 chemical mutagens, and MW plus 4 chemicals 0 h and 21 h respectively after exposure. The time exposed to MW or mutagens was 2 h or 3 h respectively. The results were showed by tail length (TL) and tail moment (TM).

RESULTSThe difference of DNA damage between MW group and control group was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). DNA damages in MW plus MMC groups and MW plus 4NQO groups were significantly greater than those in the corresponding concentrations of MMC groups and 4NQO groups (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). However, MW did not enhance DNA damage induced by MMS and BLM (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONExposure to 1.8 GHz (SAR, 3 W/kg) microwave may not induce human lymphocyte DNA damage, but could enhance DNA damage induced by MMC and 4NQO.

OBJECTIVETo develop a new method for the detection of male human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes and to investigate its clinical application value.

METHODSWith computer assistance and based on the classical common primers MY09/11, modified PGMY09/11 with 23 HPV subtypes for PCR and Genbank data on HPV, we designed probes for the simultaneous detection of 18 high-risk subtypes (HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, 83 and MM4) and 5 low-risk subtypes (HPV-6, 11, 42, 43 and 44) and fixed them to the special membrane to make a DNA chip. A total of 112 male urethral samples were collected with swabs and studied for the clinical value. Meanwhile the single subtypes of HPV positive were sequenced and the standard samples detected for their sensitivity.

RESULTSOf the total number, 25 samples were found to be HPV positive, 13 single HPV infection and 12 multiple infection. Nine HPV gene subtypes were noted in the samples: 6, 11, 16, 18, 33, 35, 43, 56 and 73, with sensitivity up to 10 copies of HPV DNA.

CONCLUSIONHuman papillomavirus genotyping by the membrane DNA chip is applicable to the diagnosis of male HPV infection as well as to the related epidemic and etiological investigation.
