Objective　To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of 99Tcm-tetrofosmin in the imaging of breast carcinoma and axillary lymph node metastases and to compare with that of 99Tcm-MIBI. Methods　52 females with breast masses were examined by 99Tcm-tetrofosmin scintigraphy and 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy.All the results were compared with that from pathologic study. Results　26 patients were found to have a primary malignancy of the breast ,whereas 30 had benign disease. 99Tcm-tetrofosmin breast imaging showed abnormal uptake in 21 of 26 malignancies and in 11 of 16 axillary lymph node metastases.The sensitivity ,specificity, and accuracy values obtained with 99Tcm-tetrofosmin and 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy for breast carcinoma were 80.8%, 76.7%, 78.6%,and 73.1%,73.3%,73.2%, respectively. The values obtained with 99Tcm-tetrofosmin and 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy for axillary lymph node metastases were 68.8%, 80.0%, 76.0%,and 75.0%,80.0%,76.9%, respectively. Conclusions　Both of the two techniques are effective in the differentiation of malignant breast mass-es from benign ones and in detecting axillary lymph node metastases.However , 99Tcm-tetrofosmin is superior to 99Tcm-MIBI in detecting breast carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the silencing effect of RNA interference on MSTN gene ( myostatin, MSTN) expression, and detect the effects on the downstream genes in Schizopygopsis pylzovi. Methods To construct the recombi?nant adenovirus vector 1P3 (DSP MSTN 273+250+1737) and 1P2 (DSP MSTN 195+ 1670) for RNA interference of the MSTN gene in Schizopygopsis pylzovi, and to conduct the RNA interference in vivo experiment by injecting the vector in?to the muscle tissue of Schizopygopsis pylzovi. Real?time PCR and Western blotting were used to evaluate the silencing effects on MSTN gene expression, and to detect the regulatory function of M?CK at gene transcription level after RNA inter?ference of the MSTN gene. Results The result of real?time PCR showed that compared with the HK team ( Virus general negative control group) and N team (blank control group), the 1P3 had significant interference effect on the MSTN gene transcription in Schizopygopsis pylzovi (P<0?05), with an inhibition rate of 53?5%, but the 1P2 had no significant inter?ference effect on the MSTN gene transcription. The result of Western blotting was consistent with the results of real?time PCR. At the same time, after the 1P3 interference, the level of MSTN gene transcription was declined, and the level of M? CK gene expression was significantly increased. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that the expression of MSTN gene can be effectively suppressed, and the expression of M?CK gene can be up?regulated through the RNA interference. There?fore, it proves that MSTN gene can inhibit the transcription of M?CK gene in Schizopygopsis pylzovi, and reveals the regula?tory role of MSTN gene in the muscle growth and development in the plateau fish Schizopygopsis pylzovi.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube in the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction. Methods A total of 221 patients with simple adhesive small intestinal obstruction, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from January 2010 to Aug. 2014, were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group (n=111) and nasogastric tube group (n=110). After the procedure, the patients were kept under close observation, focusing on the abdominal distention, gastrointestinal decompression amount, the recovery time of anal exhaustion and defecation, the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film, etc. The cure rate, effective rate and transit-operation rate were calculated. The results were compared between the two groups. Results The tube placement operation was successfully performed in all patients. Compared with the nasogastric tube group, in the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the recovery time of abdominal distention, anal exhaustion and defecation and the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film were obviously shorter, and the gastrointestinal decompression amount was larger. In the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the cure rate and effective rate were significantly increased, while the transit-operation rate was decreased; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction, the placement of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube is effective and reliable. This technique can strikingly improve the clinical symptoms, therefore, it is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of holographic image navigation in urological laparoscopic and robotic surgery.Methods The data of patients were reviewed retrospectively for whom accepted holographic image navigation laparoscopic and robotic surgery from Jan.2019 to Dec.2019 in Beijing United Family Hospital and other 18 medical centers,including 78 cases of renal tumor,2 cases of bladder cancer,2 cases of adrenal gland tumor,1 cases of renal cyst,1 case of prostate cancer,1 case of sweat gland carcinoma with lymph node metastasis,1 case of pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy.All the patients underwent operations.In the laparoscopic surgery group,there were 27 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of radical prostatectomy,2 cases of radical cystectomy and 2 cases of adrenalectomy.In the da Vinci robotic surgery group of 54 cases,there were 51 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection,1 case of retroperitoneal bilateral renal cyst deroofing and 1 case of resection of pelvic metastasis.There were 41 partial nephrectomy patients with available clinical data for statistic,with a median age of 53.5 years (range 24-76),including 26 males and 15 females.The median R.E.N.A.L score was 7.8 (range 4-11).Before the operation,the engineers established the holographic image based on the contrast CT images and reports.The surgeon applied the holographic image for preoperative planning.During the operation,the navigation was achieved by real time fusing holographic images with the laparoscopic surgery images in the screen.Results All the procedures had been complete uneventfully.The holographic images helped surgeon in understanding the visual three-dimension structure and relation of vessels supplying tumor or resection tissue,lymph nodes and nerves.By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally,the fused image guide surgeons about location vessel,lymph node and other important structure and then facilitate the delicate dissection.For the 41 cases with available clinical data including 23 cases of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and 18 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-225) min,the median warm ischemia time was 23 (range 14-60) min,the median blood loss was 80(range 5-1 200) ml.In the robotic surgery group,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-215)min,the median warm i schemia time was 21 (range 17-40)min,the median blood loss was 150(range 30-1 200)ml.In the laparoscopic surgery group,the median operation time was 160(range 80-225)min,the median warm ischemia time was 25 (range 14-60)min,the median blood loss was 50 (range 5-1 200) ml.All the patients had no adjacent organ injury during operation.There were 2 cases with Clavien Ⅱ complications.One required transfusion and the other one suffered hematoma post-operation.However,the tumors were located in the renal hilus for these 2 cases and the R.E.N.A.L scores were both 11.Conclusions Holographic image navigation can help location and recognize important anatomic structures during the surgical procedures..This technique will reduce the tissue injury,decrease the complications and improve the success rate of surgery.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases to human health, with high morbidity and mortality. It can be cured by surgery at early stage, therefore, the early detection and early treatment of lung cancer are especially important. Serum tumor markers play an important role in the detection and diagnosis of lung cancer. Galectin-3 is known to be expressed in a variety of malignant tumors. This study was to explore the serum levels of Galectin-3 and its clinical significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS: The serum levels of Galectin-3 in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 69 NSCLC patients and 77 cases of healthy control subjects, and compared between the two groups. Then we analyze the correlations between the serum levels of Galectin-3 and the clinical features of lung cancer. RESULTS: The serum levels of Galectin-3 in NSCLC patients were significantly higher than those of healthy control subjects (P<0.01). The serum levels of Galectin-3 with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those of patients without lymph node metastasis (P<0.01), and N2 lymph node metastasis had higher levels of serum Galectin-3 than those of N1 lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). Clinical stage III and stage IV patients had higher levels of serum Galectin-3 than those of clinical stage I and clinical stage II (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed the serum levels of Galectin-3 are highly expressed in NSCLC patients and are significantly related to lymph node metastasis. It may be a potential tumor marker for lung cancer.
