Objective To identify the exact origin and insertion of plantar aponeurosis and the anatomic relationship of calcaneal spur to plantar aponeurosis. Methods Fourteen specimen of feet were dissected and radiographed. Three fetus feet were observed histologically. Sonographic evaluation was carried out on 20 normal adults and 52 patients with plantar fasciitis. Results (1) Anatomic observation found that plantar aponeurosis was located under the medial process of caleaneus but not attached to it, and proximally attached to the plantar aspect of calcaneal tuborosity. The insertion (origin) of plantar aponeurosis was not a point but a face. Posteriorly the plantar aponeurosis and fascia of Archlles heel were fused or transmigrated together,entirely covered and attached very coherently to the plantar and posterior aspect of calcaneal tuborosity. (2) Histological observation of heel of fetuses found plantar aponeurosis and fascia of Arehlles heel were eosinophil band-like structure. Both continued at the plantar and posterior aspect of calcaneus and attached closely to bone at this area. There were no significant demarcation between them. (3) Sonographic evaluation:normal plantar aponeurosis showed a thin band-like echo, its orgin attached to entire plantar aspect of calcaneal tuberosity and continued with fascia coming posteriorly from Archlles heel. No distinct boundary existed between these two fascias. When plantar fasciitis occurred, the orgin of plantar aponeurosis thickened significantly,this phenomenon could be detected in wholly plantar aspect of calcaneal tuberrosity. The heel spur didn't located within plantar aponeurosis. Conclusions Plantar aponeurosis orginates from entire plantar aspect of cancaneal tuberosity. Heel spur oeeures in the orgin of the intrinsic musculature, such as flexor digitorum brevis,and doesn't locate within plantar aponeurosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the elderly. Methods The clinical characters of HCM in 70 elderly patients were retrospectively analysed. Results Among the 196 identified HCM patients, 70 were elders. Out of them, 7 patients(10.0%) were suspected as HCM according to the clinical symptoms, 29 patients (41.4%)were suspected as other cardiac diseases, 34 (48.3%) were diagnosed HCM due to other reasons. Among the 70 patients, 12 patients(17.1%) had history of cerebrovascular diseases, 54 (77.1%) manifested symptoms after 45 years of age and 4 (5.7%) showed no obvious symptoms. Among them, 18 patients were examined by UCG for two times and HCM was diagnosed at the second time. Conclusions HCM in the elderly is not an uncommon disease. The onset of cardiac symptoms is relatively late in the elderly HCM and frequently misdiagnosed; cerebrovascular diseases are commonly seen in elderly HCM patients.

To develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) in rat plasma, daunorubicin hydrochloride was used as internal standard. The plasma samples were deproteinated with methanol, and separation was performed on a reversed-phase CAPCELL PAK C18 column (3.0 mm x 50 mm, 3 microm). The mobile phase contained methanol-0.1% formic acid (80:20). Detection was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring on a HP1200-6410 QQQ LC/MS system. Different preparations of EPI solution, EPI-LIP (EPI-liposome) and EPI-LTSL (EPI-thermosensitive liposome) was administered in rats by i.v with the same dosage (12 mg kg(-1)). The pharmacokinetic model and parameters were fitted and calculated by the DAS ver2.0 software. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.01-50 microg mL(-1). The limit of quantification was 0.01 microg mL(-1). RSDs of intra- and interbatch precisions were all less than 11.9%. The average extract recovery was 89.3% and 92.1%, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of EPI in rats with all preparations were fitted to three compartments, which all fast distributed and slowly eliminated. The t1/2 alpha, t1/2 beta, t1/2 gamma, AUC(0-infinity), and MRT(0-infinity) of EPI-LTSL group were 7.5, 1.3, 12.6, 12.9, 3.7 times those of EPI solution group; and 1.6, 1.4, 12.3, 2.9, 2.6 times those of EPI-LIP group. Moreover, the CL of the latter two groups was about 13.4 times of the former EPI-LTSL group. EPI-LTSL can significantly improve AUC and prolong the circulation time of EPI in rat plasma.

Objective To compare the performances of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in the preoperative staging of Borrmann type Ⅳ gastric cancer. Methods 48 patients involved in this study, all the patients had undergone surgical resection, Borrmann Type Ⅳ gastric cancer had con-firmed and evaluated by EUS and MSCT. Tumor staging was evaluated by Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging. The results from the imaging modalities were compared with postoperative histopathological outcomes. Results The overall accuracies of EUS and MSCT for the T staging category were 54.2 % and 79.2 %( = 0.009), respectively. Stratified analysis revealed that the accuracy of MSCT in T3 and T4 staging was significantly higher than that of EUS ( = 0.032 for both). The overall accuracies of EUS and MSCT for the N staging category were both 56.3%. The sensitivity and specificity of EUS and MSCT in N staging were 83.3 %/72.2 % and 66.7 %/91.7 %, respectively. Conclusion MSCT prevail over EUS for Borrmann Type Ⅳ gastric cancer patients with invasion into serosal layer or adjacent organs or with distant metastasis.
