Objective To evaluate the clinical feasibility of performing the placement of drainage tube via transnasal route in treating mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 6 patients with mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from August 2015 to January 2016,were included in this study.The diagnosis was confirmed by esophageal radiography and thoracic CT scan in all the 6 patients.Under X-ray monitoring,the drainage tube was inserted into the cavity of mediastinal fistula with the help of a guide wire guidance,and continuous negative pressure suction was adopted.The jejunum nutrition tube was inserted via the same nostril if feeding tube was not placed.Results Successful placement of fistula drainage tube and jejunum nutrition tube was achieved in all the 6 patients.In one patient the fistula drainage tube had to be re-placed as the drainage tube was obstructed five days after initial placement.Under X-ray monitoring the mean time used for the drainage tube placement was 33 min (range of 23-48 min).The procedure was well tolerated by all the 6 patients,and no procedure-related complications occurred.After continuous negative pressure suction that lasted for 6-40 days (mean of 23 days) the fistulae healed.Conclusion For the treatment of mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer,the placement of fistula drainage tube under X-ray monitoring is simple,safe and effective.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:250-252)

Objective: To investigate the action of low level soybean isoflavones (genistin, genistein and daidzein) on the oxidative modification of lipoproteins in serum. Methods: After a system of lipoprotein oxidation mediated by Cu 2+ was established in a dilute serum, the effects of soybean isoflavones on the course and the end of lipoprotein oxidation could be reflected by monitoring the production of conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) respectively when isoflavones were added. Results: After 0.5-10 ?mol/L genistein, daidzein, genistin or ?-tocopherol was added into the lipoprotein system respectively before the oxidation initiated by Cu 2+ , the production of conjugated dienes or TBARS in the system was significantly reduced with a dose-dependent relationship. When the lipoprotein oxidation was initiated by Cu 2+ at 37 ℃ for 1 h or 1.5 h, soybean isoflavones also revealed strong inhibition on the oxidation in a weakening way. In comparison with soy isoflavones, ?-tocopherol had smaller inhibition on the production of conjugated dienes, but had promotion on the increase of TBARS. Conclusion: Lipoprotein oxidative modification in serum was weakened by low level soybean isoflavones, and its action after the oxidation initiated was more effective than that of ?-tocopherol.

It was widely believed that the interaction between rice and rice blast fungus can be interpreted by the gene-for-gene hypothesis. Two interaction models between rice blast fungus and anti-disease genes had been briefed. They were receptor-ligand model and guard model. The progress of research about molecular marker and position on avirulence genes of the pathogens of rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) was reviewed, and the methods to clone and the cloned avirulence genes of rice blast fungus were also summarized.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy for malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods Data of 42 cases suspected of malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) were retrospectively analyzed.And during the examination,the biopsy tissues were obtained for pathology.Results The pathologic results were obtained successfully in 41 of 42 cases and the success rate of operation was 97.62％ (41/42).There were 31 cases with positive results.The positive rate was 73.81％ (31/42).In 12 cases diagnosed as distal biliary tract obstruction by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC),positive pathology results were found in 3 cases;the positive rate was 25.00％ (3/12).In 30 cases diagnosed as perihilar biliary tract obstruction by PTC,positive pathology results were found in 28 cases;the positive rate was 93.33％ (28/30).The accuracy of perihilar biliary tract obstruction was higher than that of distal biliary tract obstruction (x2=20.704,P＜0.05).In all 42 cases,there were no severe complications during or after surgery.In the 31 cases with positive biopsy pathological results,6 cases underwent surgery after improved liver function.The postsurgical pathological results were agree with biopsy pathological results.Conclusion Percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy is safe and efficient for malignant obstructive jaundice.The successful rate and positive rate are high,especially for perihilar biliary tract obstruction.

OBJECTIVETo explore effective therapeutic methods for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

METHODSThirty-four cases of mild and moderate SNHL who were definitely diagnosed with pure tone test and by otologists, including 24 cases of insufficiency of the liver and kidney, 10 cases of excess of liver-fire. They were treated with acupuncture at main points, Ermen (TE 21) or Tinggong (SI 19) or Tinghui (GB 2), and Yifeng (TE 17), Shenting (GV 24), Baihui (GB 20), Houding (GV19), Touwei (ST 9), Conger 1-3, Congnao 1-2; and adjuvant acupoints: Huangshu (KI 16), Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Taixi (KI 3) were added for insufficiency of the liver and kidney; Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Taichong (LR 3) were added for excess of liver-fire. Sequential multipoint pulse stimulation was adopted, twice each week, for 20 consecutive weeks (40 sessions) and then pure tone test was carried out repeatedly.

RESULTSOf 34 cases (58 affected ears), 13 cases were cured and 21 improved, and the various linguistic frequency hearing threshold pure hearing values before and after treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture and continuous multipoint pulse stimulation has definite therapeutic effect on linguistic frequency hearing loss in the patient of SNHL.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 24 cases of primary ureteral cancer treated from January 1990 to March 2005 was performed.The diagnostic value of ultrasound,IVU,CT,MRU and the patients' outcomes were reviewed. There were 19 males and 5 females aged 38-72 years(mean,59 years).The tumors were on the left side in 16 cases and on the right in 8.Of the 24 cases,17(71%)had gross hematuria and 7(29%)had micro- scopic hematuria.Urine cytology was performed in 16 cases with a positive rate of 6.3%.B-ultrasonic exami- nation showed hydronephrosis in 19 cases(79%)and low-echo space-occupying disease of middle-inferior ureter in 3(12%).IVU demonstrated hydronephrosis in 20 cases(83%)and filling defect of the diseased ureter in 3(12%).Retrograde pyelography showed filling defect of the diseased ureter in 16(76%)of 21 cases(5 cases had failure of intubation).CT scan was performed in 20 cases,indicating thickening of the ureteral wall and infiltration of the cancer in 14(70%).In 3 cases who had undergone spiral CT thin layer scan and 1 of 3 cases who had undergone MRU,the definite diagnosis was made.Results All the 24 pa- tients underwent surgical treatment.Among them,nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff or partial resection were performed in 18 cases,and nephrectomy and partial ureterectomy in 6 cases.Postoperative pathology showed transitional cell carcinoma in 23 cases,and adenoma in 1.Of the 14 cases during 1990-1999 peri- od,1,5,3,2,2 and 1 cases had survival time of 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 years,respectively.Of the 10 cases during 2000-2005 period,3 were lost to follow-up;2 survived for 3 years and 2,for 1 year;the other 3 who have survived near 5 years have been followed till now.Conclusions IVU and retrograde urography are the most common diagnostic measures for primary ureteral cancer.They can be used in combination with other imaging study to reduce missed diagnosis rate.The 5-year survival rate was lower because of late pathologic stage of the tumors in the patients of this series.
