Objective To study the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography in hematoma of soft tissues, and compare the images of different period of hematoma. Method Analyzed and compared the size,shape and sonographic characteristic of 46 cases with hematoma. Results The images of hematoma were round or oval in shape, more than 2.0 cm in trans-diameter, and were isoechoic or hypocchoic in the early stage, then anoechoic areas increased with hyperechoic septum and irregular hypoechoic, with posterior enhancement and hyperechoic boundary. A part of muscle fibres raptured and were occupied by the hematoma if the muscle tore. Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography can be the first choice and reliable imaging method to diagnose hematoma of soft tissues.

? AIM: To compare the effects on the retina inner segment and retinal pigment epithelium ( RPE ) of intravitreally injecting bevacizumab, ranibizumab and aflibercept into monkey eyes.? METHODS: Fourteen healthy cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis, aged 3-8y,10 males,4 females) were raised at the Covance Laboratories under standard conditions. The 14 monkeys were grouped into 4 groups. Three of the groups with 4 monkeys each were injected intravitreally with one of the drugs, either bevacizumab, ranibizumab or aflibercept, while the 4th group with 2 monkeys served as a negative control. On 1d and 7d of injection, 2 monkeys from each drug treatment group were sacrificed under general anaesthesia and the 4 eyes were enucleated. All the enucleated eyes were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin wax, cut into 4. 0 μm sections and deparaffinized according to standard procedures. Image-Pro Plus was used for all the photos to measure the content of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in the inner segment and RPE. The ANOVA test from JMP10. 0 statistical program was used to evaluate the results.?RESULTS:Retinal sections were checked for their anti-VEGF immune reactivity. The untreated control samples had the highest level of VEGF in the RPE and inner segment. All of these three drugs can reduce the level of VEGF in the RPE and inner segment, but Avastin seems to be more effective than Eylea in this regard. Lucentis treatment at 1d seems to be more effective than Eylea at VEGF 1d. But at 7d, both Lucentis and Eylea have the same effect on reducing VEGF expression level in the RPE and inner segment.?CONCLUSION: All of these three drugs can reduce the level of VEGF in the RPE and inner segment.

Objective To evaluate the role of MLK3-MKK3/6-p38MAPK signal transduction pathway in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Methods Seventy-eight healthy adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (group C, n = 6), ALI group ( n =24), MLK3 inhibitor K252a group (group MK, n = 24) and p38MAPK specific inhibitor SB203580 group (group MS, n = 24). ALI was induced by iv injection of LPS 5 mg/kg via tail vein, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. K252a 75 μg/kg and SB203580 10 mg/kg were injected intravenously via tail vein 30 min before LPS administration in group MK and MS respectively. The rats were killed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 h (T1-4) after LPS administration in group ALI, MK and MS (6 rats at each time point) and immediately after normal saline administration in group C. The lungs were removed for microscopic examination. The left lung was lavaged.The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected. The concentration of TNF-α in the BALF was determined by ELISA. W/D lung weight ratio was calculated. The expression of p-MLK3, p-MKK3/6 and p-p38MAPK were determined by Western blot. Results The concentration of TNF-α in the BALF, W/D lung weight ratio, and expression of p-MLK3, p-MKK3/6 and p-p38MAPK were significantly higher in the other three groups than in group C (P ＜ 0.01). The parameters mentioned above were significantly lower in group MK, and the concentration of TNF-α in the BALF, W/D lung weight ratio, and p-p38MAPK expression were significantly lower in group MS than in group ALI (P ＜ 0.05). The microscopic examination showed that LPS-induced ALI was less severe in group MK and MS than in group ALI. Conclusion MLK3-MKK3/6-p38MAPK signal transduction pathway plays an important role in LPS-induced ALI in rats.

Objective To study the ultrasonographic characteristics and significance of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnose of soft tissue haematoma in the elderly.Methods Totally 45 elderly patients with soft tissue hematoma were retrospectively analyzed.Hematoma were divided into 3 types:traumatic hematoma,iatrogenic hematoma and spontaneous hematoma.The ultrasonographic features of hematoma including location,size,shape,internal echo,boundary and relationship with around muscles were detected by color Doppler ultrasound.Results The ultrasonographic diagnostic rate of soft tissue haematoma was 98.0％ (44/45) in this study.The haematomas in patients were found in the soft tissues of many body parts and the types were mainly iatrogenic and spontaneous haematomas (42.0％ and 40.0％ respectviely).The traumatic hematomas and iatrogenic hematomas could be found in the early stage by ultrasound due to the trauma history,and the sonograms were mainly equal and low echo (75.0％ and 80.0％ respectively).Traumatic hematoma was found between the disorder muscles,and partial ruptured muscle fibers could be detected within or around the hematoma.Iatrogenic hematoma was mainly located around the vessels,which were compressed to the deep part as compared with the vessel in contralateral.Spontaneous haematoma was not almost found in the early stage and could be easily ignored and misdiagnosed.Spontaneous hematoma was mainly located within muscle fibers or fatty layers,presented anechoic area with irregular hypoechoic between the muscles and had well-defined hyperechoic boundary with compressed muscles around it.Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasound has a reliable diagnosis of soft tissue haematoma with quick,noninvasive,convenient for follow-up advantages in the elderly.

Objective To establish a self-made chiral column for enantiomeric separation of salbutamol. Methods We used different concentrations of acid,alkali additives in the polar phase flow for enantiomers separation of salbutamol by using 3, 4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate vancomycin chiral column, and discussed the chiral recognition mechanism. Results The ratio of acid to alkali additive in the mobile phase was 0.01%:0.01% (V/V), the flow rate was 1ml/min, the column temperature was 25℃, and the best separation of enantiomers of salbutamol was obtained,the selective factor was 1.16, the separation degree reached 1.41. Conclusion Self-made 3, 4-two chlorophenyl isocyanate vancomycin chiral column is effective for salbutamol separation, and it can be as a reference for developing other similar chiral stationary phase.

A 34-year-old male patient with suspected pheochromocytoma was referred to our department for paroxysmal hypertension. Pheochromocytoma was confirmed by very high plasma nor-metanephrine ( NMN ) and metanephrine ( MN ). Contrast CT of the adrenal disclosed a 3.0 cm x 3.0 cm mass in the left adrenal. 18 F-FDG-PET-CT showed high uptake only in the left adrenal. When the patient's blood pressure was well controlled with 4 mg/d doxazosin for 2 weeks, surgery was then performed under laparoscopy. A round solid left adrenal pheochromocytoma was resected. After surgery, plasma MN and NMN levels returned to normal, and the patient was free of clinical symptoms with normal blood pressure. This patient has been followed 3 years with normal blood pressure, MN, and NMN levels, without tumor recurrence shown hy adrenal CT.

Two compositions, a sterol mixture and a pure ceramide, were isolated from the extract of a tunicate,Styela.canopus, collected from the Dayawan Bay, Guangdong. The sterols were detected by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and their structure was confimed by spectroscopic analysis. The ceramide was identified by spectroscopic analysis. The contents of sterols and the ceramide in the extract were 12% and 0.3% respectively.This was also the first report about the chemical constituents of Sytela. canopus.

[Summary] A 61-year-old female patient was diagnosed as ACTH independent Cushing′ syndrome, right adrenal adenoma, right facial infection. The situation was well controlled with antibacterial agents, abscess incision drainage and ketoconazole therapy. The patient received partial adrenolectomy of her right adrenal gland 16 months later. This case indicated that anti-adrenal agents could be a reasonable choice when the Cushing′syndrome patients were acompanied with severe infection.
