Objective To evaluate the value of prenatal ultrasound in the interrupted aortic arch (IAA), and analyze the reasons of misdiagnosis and improve diagnostic ratio of this kind of defects. Methods Ultrasonic characteristics were analyzed in 16 fetuses with aortic arch anomalies, which were compared with ultrasound image and autopsy results of the normal fetus. The relativity of fetal IAA and abnormal chromosome was also analyzed. Results Among the 16 cases, 15 cases were confirmed by anatomy and the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis was 94% (15/16), of which one case was serious constriction of aortic arch, one case was error type, three cases were obtained explicit type due to unsatisfactory results of prenatal ultrasound. The coincidence rate of ultrasonic type was 73% (11/15). All of the corrected diagnosed cases were detected with ventricular septal, of which 5 cases were detected with complete endocardial cushion defect, 9 cases were found extra cardiac malformations. Among the 7 karyotype check cases, 3 cases were diagnosed with Trisomy 18, 1 case Trisomy 13, while the rest 3 cases normal. The incidence rate of Trisomy 18 was 43 % (3/7). Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound shows a high accuracy in diagnosing fetal interrupted aortic arch (IAA ), but there’s a need to be improved in explicit typing. It is difficult to identify fetal interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and serious constriction of aortic arch (COA). The incidence rate of Trisomy 18 in the abnormal chromosome of fetal IAA is high.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of 18 F-FDG PET CT scan in the diagnosis of thin lung nodules. Methods 56 solitary cases of nodules in the lungs,nodule size ranged from 1～3 cm,conducted 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging and thin layer CT scan at the same time, 18 F-FDG PET imaging using visual measurement combined with semi-quantitative method to determine the degree of malignant of the lesions; conducted MPR recon-struction after thin layer CT scan, based on the lesions morphology to determine the degree of malignant. Then com-pared the results of above,and the results of the combination of 18 F-FDG PET imaging and thin layer CT scan,with the pathological results after surgery. Results The sensitivities of PET imaging alone,thln layer CT alone,joint ima-ging diagnosis of SPN are 92.6% ,88.2% ,96.4% ,specificity are 73.3% ,57.1% ,85.7% ,accuracy percentage rate are 89.3% ,80.4% ,94.6% ,the positive predictive values are 92.6% ,91.8% ,96.4% ,and negative predictive val-ues are 84.6% ,61.5% ,92.3% ,respectively. Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET combined with thin layer CT scanning is a very effective method to clinical diagnosis the malignant degree of SPN.

ObjectiveTo explore the ultrasound characteristics of coronary artery fistula to improve its prenatal diagnosis.MethodsImaging data for 12 fetuses with coronary artery fistula who underwent fetal echocardiography at our hospital from June 2005 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed to summarize the ultrasound characteristics of coronary artery fistula.ResultsOf the 12 fetuses, 7 were confirmed with coronary artery fistula by echocardiography after birth, and the remaining 5 were aborted due to other cardiac abnormalities (since an autopsy was not performed, the diagnosis of coronary artery fistula could not be confirmed). Of the 7 confirmed cases, 1 had left coronary artery-to-right atrium fistula, 3 had left coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula, and 3 had right coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula; 1 had left coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula with muscular ventricular septal defect, and 6 had simple coronary fistula. Two-dimensional ultrasound examination revealed that coronary arteries were displayed in all cases, and the diameter ranged from 1.8 to 4.0 mm. Color Doppler ultrasound clearly showed the fistula size, course and the situation fistulas drained into heart chambers. Diastolic regurgitation signal could be detected in the ascending aorta and aortic arch.ConclusionCoronary artery fistula can be diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound combined with spectral Doppler ultrasound when the fetal coronary artery expands.

The intraspecies quorum sensing system of Streptococcus mutans is involved with com genes family.ComE is a kind of response regulator and act as a promoter to the quorum sensing genes.S.mutans comE mutant strain IFD140?comE was constructed using the inframe-deletion system via twice homologous recombination.In current genetic studies of S.mutans,insertion duplication and allelic exchange mutagenesis techniques routinely create polar effects to downstream genes.In-frame deletions are essentially free of these polar effects because the mutation does not introduce any genetic markers.By PCR,sequencing and RT-PCR,it was confirmed that IFD140?comE has only 717bp deleted within the comE gene and the transcription of the downstream gene comD was not interfered.The research of the morphological characteristics indicated that IFD140?comE formed clumps and cells accumulated at the bottom of the glass tubes and light-microscopic observations displayed that the mutant strain formed significantly longer chains compared to those formed by the wild strain.The successfully construction of IFD140?comE lay a foundation for further quorum sensing research.

Objective To explore the relationship between pulse wave velocity(PWV)and blood pressure classification and cardiovascular risk factors stratification in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Totally,390 patients with essential hypertension were recruited in the study and their carotid- femoral PWVs were recorded by an automatic pulse wave velocity measurement system.The patients were stratified by their cardiovascular risk factors.PWVs were compared between patients with varied blood pressures or with and without cardiovascular risk factors.Results There was no significant difference in PWV between patients of phase 1 and phase 2 hypertension,[(10.8?1.7)m/s vs.(11.9?1.2)m/s,P =0.398].PWV in patients with more than one risk factor was significantly higher than that in those with hypertension alone,[(10.4?1.4)m/s vs.(11.7?1.4)m/s,P=0.018].Conclusions PWV in hypertensive patients with one or more than one other risk factors was significantly higher than that in those without other risk factors.Cardiovascular risk factor might play a more important role in arterial stiffness.

To study the contribution of T cell subsets in the pathogenesis of Murine hepatitis virus Type3 (MHV-3) induced chronic viral hepatitis in C3H/Hej mice, ninety C3H/Hej mice were chosen to individually receive 10 plaque forming units (PFU) of MHV-3 intraperitoneally. The changes of virus titer and pathology in liver tissue were examined by standard plaque assay and by the hematoxylin/eosin (HE) staining method from 2 days post MHV-3 infection. The ratios of T cell subsets including CD3+CD4+CD8-, CD3+CD4-CD8+, CD3+CD4-CD8-, CD3+CD4+CD25+, CD3+CD4+CD25- and CD3+CD4-CD25+ T lymphocyte of total T lymphocytes in blood, spleen and liver were examined at 0, 2, 4, 6,8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 days post MHV-3 infection by flow cytosorting. We observed that the virus titer raised and showed persistent virus duplications and inflammatory changes in the livers of C3H/Hej mice from 2 days post MHV-3 infection. The double negative T cell (DN Treg cell) and CD4+CD25+ T cell ratios increased significantly from 2 days post MHV-3 infection in C3H/Hej mice, and CD3+CD4+CD8-, CD3+CD4-CD8+, CD3+CD4+CD25- and CD3+CD4-CD25+ T cell ratios decreased accordingly. In conclusion, the changes of virus titer and pathology in the livers of C3H/Hej mice post MHV-3 suggest their contribution to viral persistence. Further characterizations of DN Treg cells are that infection indicates that MHV-3 could induce the chronic inflammation in livers of C3H/Hej mice.The increase of the DN Treg cell and CD4+CD25+ T cell ratios in C3H/Hej mice post MHV-3 infection suggests that DN Treg cells and CD4+CD25+ T cells may both have important suppressive immunomodulation functions in the development of chronic viral hepatitis and have important roles in the virus persistent infection. Further characterizations of DNT cell and CD4+CD25+ T cell are under investigation.

A total of 200 outpatients with congenital urogenital abnormalities were recruited.Peripheral blood from each patient had mixed lymphocyte culture and chromosome karyotype was analyzed.Among them,22 (11％) cases showed abnormal chromosomal karyotypes.The aberrations included abnormal chromosome number (n =13),abnormal chromosome structure (n =8) and sex reversal syndrome (n =1).Chromosomal aberrations are important causative factors of congenital urogenital abnormalities.

Background and purpose:Single drug of docetaxel and pemetrexed as second line treatment is standard treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Whether combined with platinum can increase the response and survival is still not elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the treatment response, overall survival (OS) and the safety of combined with oxaliplatin or cisplatin regimens as second line in treating NSCLC patients. Methods:Advanced NSCLC inpatients, failure of cisplatin or carboplatin in initial treatment, were divided into three groups at random in 3∶2∶1 rate. Control group:who received docetaxel, 75 mg/m2 (for all patients), d1 or pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (for non-squamous carcinoma);Cisplatin group:who received cisplatin 25 mg/m2, d1-3 and docetaxel/pemetrexed; Oxaliplatin group: who received oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 d1 and docetaxel/pemetrexed. Every 3 weeks were repeated as one cycle. The side effect was assessed every cycle and treatment efifcacy was investigated every two cycles. Follow-up examination was taken every 3 months after treatment. Results:There were no differences in treatment response, progress free survival (PFS), OS and toxicity among the three groups (P>0.05). Old patients (≥60 years) had a better PFS than that of patients less than 60 years (HR=0.56, 95%CI:0.35-0.90, P=0.015). Patients with performance score 0-1 had a better PFS and OS (HR=1.52, 95%CI:1.01-2.30, P=0.048;HR=1.90, 95%CI:1.17-3.09, P=0.009). Treatment response had relation to PFS and OS (HR=2.93, 95%CI:2.01-4.26, P=0.000;HR=2.03, 95%CI:1.37-3.01, P=0.000). Patients with anemia after treatment tended to have a worse PFS and OS (HR=1.59, 95%CI:0.97-2.61, P=0.066;HR=1.60, 95%CI:0.94-2.75, P=0.085). Patients with thrombocytopenia after therapy had a worse OS (HR=2.97, 95%CI:1.01-8.78, P=0.049). Patients with neural toxicity after chemotherapy tended to have a worse PFS (HR=3.36, 95%CI:0.92-12.25, P=0.066). Patients received post treatment after second line therapy had a better OS (HR=0.36, 95%CI:0.22-0.61, P=0.000). Conclusion:Combined with oxaliplatin or cisplatin as second line treatment can’t improve the response and survival in NSCLC patient. Treatment response and PS are prognostic factors to NSCLC patients’ PFS and OS. Patients with treatment related anemia might have a worse survival. Post therapy after failure to second line chemotherapy can prolong the survival.
