Carcinoma of pancreas is the most common primar y pancreatic malignancy. Symptoms usually are nonspecific and include abdominal pain, jaundice, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. CT usually demonstrates a mass with ill-defined margins but also solid components and dil atation of the main pancreatic duct. This tumor is usually smaller and virtuall y never contains calcification. Following contrast material administration,all masses were enhanced less than the surrounding pancreas. Tumors were oval, rou nd or lobular,and is almost always locally invasive. These features can be used to differentiate carcinoma of pancreas from other pancreatic tumors.

Objective To investigate the effect of internal fixative operation with special-shaped plate on Pi- lon fracture.Methods 84 cases of Pilon fracture were treated respectively by continuous skeletal traction of calca- neus,internal fixative operation with general steel plate or Kirschner wire,or internal fixative operation with special- shaped plate.Results All the cases were followed up for 6 months to 2 years postoperatively.The rate of being ex- cellent and fine of 3 groups treated by 3 different methods was 42%,61% and 72 % separately.Conclusion Inter- nal fixative operation with special-shaped plate is a good way to treat Pilon fracture for its less complication and more recuperation and retention of function for anklebone.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of primary malignant pericardial mesothe- lioma.Methods Seven cases of primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma,in 4 females and 3 males,with the age ranged from 22 to 51 and a mean of 40 years old,were studied with clinicopathological,immunohistochemical and histochemical techniques,The pertinent litera- ture was also comprehensively reviewed.Results 3 biopsy specimens and 4 surgical specimens,including 2 autopsy specimens,were stud- led.The main clinical symptoms were palpitation and short breath,which were aggravated after movement.The longest course was 4 years,and the mean disease course was 12 months.The chest films demonstrated an obviously increase in heart shadow,and the pericardi- um was thickened in some cases.CT clearly showed tumorous shadow in 2 cases.The histopathologic picture showed tubular type in 2 ca- ses,papillary in 2,signet ring cell type in 1 and myofibroblast types in 2.In 2 autopsy specimens it was found that pericardium was dif- fusely thickened.In one case the tumor was metastasized to the right lung,mediastinum,and pulmonary hilar lymph node.In another case there was metastasis to right kidney.Immunohistochemical staining showed that the neoplastic cells of all cases were positive for CK5/6, calretinin,CK.vimentin and EMA,but negative for CEA.In the histochemical staining seven cases,the malignancy was positive for CI to different extent,but negative for HCL Conclusion Immunohistochemistry and histochemistry play an important role in diagnosis and dif- ferential diagnosis for primary malignant mesothelioma and other tumors in pericardium.

Objective To investigate the relationship among early parenchymal enhancement,post- gadolinium(Gd)hyperintense middle cerebral artery(HMCA),and subsequent hemorrhagic transformation (HT)in patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke.Methods Twenty-four consecutive patients with ischemic stroke who underwent MRI within 6 h[(4.3?1.4)h]of symptom onset were retrospectively reviewed.All of these patients underwent at least one follow-up MRI or non-enhanced CT study at 2 to 7 days.Post-Gd T_1WI were analyzed for parenchymal enhancement and hyperintense MCA.Gradient echo MRI and CT were used for assessment of HT.Results Ten patients developed HT on follow-up imaging (hemorrhagic group).Early parenchymal enhancement was found in 6 patients with HT(P

Objective To study the adaptability of rat' skeletal muscle to medium load on endurance training. Methods 40 male Wistar rats were used in an upward-slope running with medium load. Then the ultrastructural changes of the soleus muscle and IGF-1 expression in different training stages were observed. Results The pathologic change of muscular tissues suggested that there was kinesic injury in rat soleus muscle, and the injury happened most seriously in the third week, when muscle structure experienced a relative 'fragile' period. At the same time, there was an obvious increase of IGF-1 in muscular tissues, which indicated that the muscle started to repair of itself immediately after injury. The abnormity rate of Z-cure and IGF-1 level began to decline gradually after 4 weeks, meanwhile the pathologic change reduced. Conclusion After been injured, the pathologic changes of muscle underwent a course of going serious then reducing accompanied with the reparation. The fact indicated that rat skeletal muscle showed a good adaptability to the injury accumulation.

Objective To introduce the clinical significance and pathophysiologic aspects of the circulatory and cardiac complications in terminal stage cirrhosis.Methods Recently relevant literatures were reviewed and summarized.Results Haemodynamic changes in cirrhosis arose on the basis of combined humoral and nervous dysregulation,with abnormalities in cardiovascular regulation,volume distribution and cardiac performance.Conclusion Comprehending the mechanisms of cardiovascular complications will contribute a lot for the treatment of terminal stage cirrhosis.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce positive response to the security and effectiveness issues on OTC cough and cold medicines for children in New Zealand in order to provide reference for drug risk-benefit evaluation and putting forward reasonable management measures in China. METHODS:The concept of OTC cough and cold medicines for children were introduced firstly. Then the evaluation and countermeasures of OTC cough and cold medicines for children in New Zealand were also introduced. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:It has significance for the evaluation of drugs for sale that are review and evaluation,study and countermea-sures and dynamic tracking for OTC cough and cold medicines for children in New Zealand and the realistic attitude of New Zealand Drug and Medical Instruments Security Bureau.

Objective To detect plasma concentrations of Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP),endothelin (ET)-1 at different periods after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH),and probe the correlation of CGRP,ET-1 and the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm after SAH.Mehods Plasma concentrations of CGRP,ET-1 were measured in patients who were diagnosed with SAH (38 cases) at different periods (1-3 d,4-7 d,14-21 d after SAH) by radio-immunity technique.According to the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm,these patients were separated into two groups:vasospasm group(31 cases) and non-vasospasm group(7 cases).Twenty healthy persons after physical examinations were allocated to be control group.Results Compared with control group and nin-vasospasm group,the plasma concentration of CGRP in vasospasm group was obviously lower,especially in the 4-7 d time slot,and ET-1 was obviously higher,especially in the 4-7 d time slot.There were statistical differences among the three groups(P<0.05 or <0.01).Cerebral vasospasm occurred in 2 cases during 1-3 d,in 28 cases during 4-7 d and in l case during 14-2l d after SAH.Conclusions CGRP,ET-1 participate in the pathological process of SAH.The abnormality of vascular endnfhelial construction/diastolic function is correlated with delayed cerebral vasospasm.

Recent researches show that follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an important regulatory role in the angiogenesis of ovarian cancer by influencing the level of some factors such as hypoxia inducefactor-1 ( HIF-1 ) ,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Meanwhile, recent studies report that FSH and FSH receptor(FSHR) may also participate in the angiogenesis of other solid tumors like lung cancer. FSH is closely related to the tumor angiogenesis, which provides a novel therapeutic target for anti-angiogenesis thera-py.
