Purpose　To evaluate the clinical safety of ionic contrast media made in china and compare with nonionic contrast media being imported. Methods　Among contrast-enhanced CT 1096 cases, 76% meglumine diatrizoate were administed in 864 cases and ultravist in 232 cases , comparative studies on adverse drug reactions(ADRs) and image quality were performed. Results　In 76% meglumine diatrizoate group , the prevalence of overall and mild -middle ADRs was higher than in the ultravist group , the prevalence of severe and potentially life-threatening ADRs was approximate in the ultravist group , the image quality was well than in the ultravist group.Preventive inoculation alleviated ADRs at all levels. Conclusion　Ionic contrast media made in china was safe and effective in patients without hyperthyroidism after preventive inoculation.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of preoperative staging in gastric cancer with induced pneumoperitoneum in spiral CT (SCTPP). Methods Both routine SCT and SCTPP were performed in 52 lean patients suffered from gastric cancers, and comparison was made between SCT findings and surgical and histopathologic findings. Results The accuracy of routine SCT and SCTPP in determining the T-staging was 72% and 96%, respectively (?2=8.0, P0.05). The sensitivity in determining M-staging was 61% and 100%, respectively (?2=0.04, P

Objective To investigate the combining anticancer effect of tamoxifen(TAM) and ?-interferon on breast cancer cells in vitro and its mechanism.Methods MCF-7 ER-positive breast cancer cell lines were treated with tamoxifen alone,or in combination with ?-interferon and/or estrogen in vitro.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay;FCM was used to determine the distribution of cell cycle,cell apoptosis and protein expression of Bcl-2,Bax,Fas,FasL,Caspase-8,and the activity of Caspase-3.Results TAM inhibited the proliferation of ER-postive breast cancer cells with cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and with induction of apoptosis,and the proliferation-promoting effect of estrogen on MCF-7 was blocked by TAM.Anticancer effect of TAM was enhanced when cells were pretreated with ?-interferon for 24 hours.Bcl-2 protein expression was down-regulated and Caspase-8 was up-regulated by TAM and/or ?-interferon,but these drugs did not affect Bax,Fas,FasL protein expression and the activity of Caspase-3.Conclusions TAM has anticancer effect by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis in ER-positive breast cancer cells in vitro,and ?-interferon can enhance anticancer effect of TAM on breast cancer cells.The mechanism of these effects may be related with the down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression and up-regulation of Caspase-8 by TAM and ?-interferon.

Objective To evaluate the value of gated ~(99)Tc~m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) myocardial perfusion imaging in detection of myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Methods Sixty-nine patients with clinically proven hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were divided into 2 groups using coronary angiogram as "gold standard":positive group(n=19,narrowing≥50%) and negative group (n=50,narrowing＜50%).Gated ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging was performed and positive in all 69 patients (41 males,28 females,aged 35-75 years).Comparative analysis between the two groups was carried out using t-test.Results In the positive group,reversible and irreversible perfusion defects were detected in 9 and 10 patients,respectively.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased to (69.1±2.8)% in 8 patients and decreased to(42.8±2.1)% in 11 patients.In the negative group,reversible and irreversible perfusion defects were found in 37 and 13 patients,respectively.LVEF increased to(70.8±4.0)% in 38 patients and decreased to(48.9±2.7)% in 12 patients.The values of ischemic area,severity and extent of perfusion defect,and LVEF were significantly different between the two groups(t=9.28,16.51,2.65;P＜0.001,＜0.001,＜0.01,respectively).Conclusions Gated ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging is valuable in assessing patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Detection for the presence or absence of coexisting coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia has an important prognostic indication and management indication for these patients.

OBJECTIVETo invesitigate the clinical effects of percutaneous closed reduction and cannulated screw internal fixation combined with external fixation in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.

METHODSFrom April 2006 to May 2009,29 patients with pelvic fractures of rotatory instability were treated with closed reduction and screw internal fixation combined with external fixation. There were 19 males and 10 females with an average age of 31 years old (ranged from 19 to 53 years). Based on the Tile classification,17 cases were type CI and 12 case were type C2. Tornetta standard and Majeed score were used to evaluated the clinical effect after operation.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 10 to 24 months with an average of 16 months. There were no nerve injuries and other organ injuries, only one case of infection was found and it was cured with wound dressing. Time of fracture union was from 14 to 18 weeks with the mean of 16.2 weeks. No loosening, slippage or breakage of the screw were found. According to the Tornetta standards,14 cases obtained excellent results, 10 good, 4 fair and 1 poor. The Majeed score was 87.2 ± 11.3, 16 cases got excellent results, 9 good and 4 fair.

CONCLUSIONClosed reduction and screw internal fixation combined with external fixation is an effective way to treat unstable pelvic fractures with Tile type C1 and Tile type C2.

Clinical data were analysed in 19 patients with propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis. Among them, 17 patients (89.5%) were diagnosed as Graves′ disease originally. The duration of PTU therapy in 18 patients was more than two years. Multi-organ involvement was common, with 15 patients (78.9%) involved in kidneys and 8 patients (42.1%) involved in lungs. The prevalences of arthralgia, skin rash and fever were also high. All patients withdrew PTU, and some with severe organ involvements received prednisone and immunosuppressant.

BACKGROUND: Although improvement could be achieved after the first operation, limb symptoms of patients would aggravate with the progress or reoccurrence of Parkinson disease (PD), thereby second operation would become necessary if symptom could not be controllel by medication.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the improving rate of symptoms and complications of patients with PD after the second operation.DESIGN: Case analysisSETTING: Neurosurgery Department of 153th Military Central Hospital and Neurosurgery Department of Tangdu Hospital Affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 387 primary PD patients were collected from Neurosurgery Department of 153th Military Central Hospital and Neurosurgery Department of Tangdu Hospital Affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical College of Chinese PLA from October 1997 to December 2002.Totally 350 patients received two operations in the same hospital, and other 37 patients received the first operation at other hospital and the second operation in our hospital. The intervals of two operations were within half a year in 36 cases, 0.5-0.9 year in 72 cases, 1.0-1.9 years in 108 cases and 2.0-5.0 years in 171 cases respectively.METHODS: Under the stereotactic microelectrode-guidance, the targets of all patients were subjected to iconographical orientation, microelectrode record, microelectrode stimulation and exploration and radio frequency microelectrode verification before just stage bilateral posteroventral pallidotomy (PVP) or thalamus ventral intermediate nucleus damage(TVIND),unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) was used at preoperative and postoperative "on" state (at the beginning of medication, patients move freely and stays in "on" state) as well as "off" state (when medication loss function, patients displays moving disability and stays in "off" state).complication between two operation .RESULTS: Data of 387 patients were remained in the results analysis.operation was lower than that of first operation (tremor 95.4%, 96.9%;rigidity 94.6%, 95.1%; bradykinesia 88.9%, 92.3%; gait 62.3%, 67.1%;balance 65.1%, 69.4%, akinesia and cramp 95.8%, 98.0%), but no diffor UPDRS were lower than that of preoperative scores (P ＜ 0.01). The mean total UPDRS scores improved by 46.8% in the "on" state and 53.5% in the "off" state after second operation, lower than that of first tive complications: The occurrenceof complications that was specific for the second operation including fatigue, salivation, reduced voice, fake bulbar paralysis, lethargy, hiccough, urinary incontinence, urinary retention were found higher than that of after the first operation (P ＜ 0.05).The occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage was also lower than that of after first operation.UPDRS were lower in the second operation, which may be due to that PD of postoperative complications which was specific for the second operation was obviously increased, which possibly associated with age, state of illness, constitution, operation type and interval between operations. But occurrence of non-specific postoperative complications was basically the same in two operations (cerebral hemorrhage and inflammation), suggesting that hemorrhage risk did not increased due to the second operation.

Objective To investigate the value and usefulness of optimized multislice CT enterography (MSCTE) with orally administered isosmotic mannitol (2. 5%) as negative contrast in demonstrating the small bowel and its abnormality. Methods Forty patients suspected of intestinal tumors were randomly divided into two groups and underwent conventional or optimized MSCTE. The expansion degree of bowel lumen and the thickness of bowel wall were evaluated for the six segments of the small intestine. The other 20 patients suspected of gastrointestinal diseases underwent gastrointestinal CT imaging.The expansion degree of bowel lumen and the wall thickness of bowel wall were statistically analyzed with Chi-Square test and t test. Results The wall thickness of the stomach, ileum and colon were (2. 56 ±0.52) ,(1.41 ±0. 15),(1.46 ±0. 13),(1.91 ±0. 25), (1.97 ±0.26),(2.01 ±0. 19), (2. 04 ±0.24)and (2. 05 ±0. 18)mm. Optimized method was superior to conventional method in the expansion degree of the second and third segments of the small intestine (P ＜ 0. 05) . There was no significant differences between two groups in the expansion degree and depiction of mucosa for the other segments of small intestine (P ＞ 0. 05). The gastrointestinal CT imaging was poor in the depiction of the duodenum and jejunum, but stomach, ileum and colon were fully illustrated. Conclusion Optimized MSCTE was superior to conventional method in demonstrating the small bowel, and gastrointestinal CT imaging can expand diagnostic scope because of good observation of whole gastrointestinal tract.
