In the 40 years of last centry American scientists put forward a concep of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapeutic technique and had done some technical and clinical studies. Since 90 years the HIFU surgery technique treating tumors anew rised abruptly in the world. China firstly put out a comprehensive HIFU tumor treating sistem and successfully treated many solid tumors such as breast cancer, bone tumor, liver cancer etc.. Now the treating sistem has already exported to England, Italy,Spain, Japan, Colea etc. and treated tens thousands tumor patients. In the field of noninvasive ultrasound treating tumor technique China has continually kept the leading position in the world.

Objective To compare early-stage clinical features and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis neuroendocrine function in first-episode and untreated major depressive disorders with suicide and without suicide. Methods Untreated patients who had a diagnosis as major depression according to ICD-10 were allocated to suicide with major depressive disorder group or non-suicide with major depressive disorder group according to whether the pa?tients had suicidal ideation or behaviours. Patients were assessed before treatment using the 17-item Hamilton Depres?sion Scale (HAMD-17), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) and the suicide assessment scale. The cortisol (CORT) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels in serum were measured using a chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results There was no significant difference in demographic data be?tween the two groups (P>0.05). In early-stage clinical features, there were significant differences in changes of sexual ac? tivity and feeling of despair (P<0.05). HAMD total scores were significantly higher in the suicide group (P<0.01), whereas HAMA total scores and Y-BOCS total scores were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in CORT or ACTH levels between two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant correlation of suicidal scores with early-stage clinical features, symptom scales scores, CORT or ACTH levels (P>0.05). Conclusion De?creased sexual desire and feeling of despair are more severe in depressed patients with suicide than those without. There is no correlation of early-stage clinical features or HPA axis functions with suicide in patients with depression.

Objective To observe BQ123 on lung tissue injury following ischemia-reperfusion of hind limbs in rats.Methods A total of 30 male SD rats were randomly divided into control,I-R,and BQ123 groups,with 10 rats in each group. After 4- hour of ischemia and 4-hour of reperfusion to the hind limbs, ET-1 was measured by radioimmunoassay, levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialehyde (MDA) were examined by biochemical method,and the content of P-selectin was examined by ELISA. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of Fas,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in lung tissues. Pulmonary apoptosis was examined by means of TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling ( TUNEL) . Results Compared with the control group,the levels of ET-1,MPO,MDA and P-selectin in lung tissues were all increased significantly in I-R group ( P<0. 01). The expressions of Fas,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were 0. 294±0. 003,0. 108±0. 005,and 0. 174±0. 003,significantly up-regulated in the I-R group. The apoptosis rate [(18. 83±2. 86)%] was significantly increased in the I-R group (P<0. 01). Compared with I-R group,the tissue contents of ET-1,MPO,MDA and P-selectin were significantly lowered in BQ123 group (P<0. 01). The expression levels of Fas (0. 115±0. 007) and Caspase-3 (0. 159±0. 006) were decreased,but the expression of Bcl-2 was increased (0. 128±0. 005). The apoptosis rate in BQ123 group was significantly lower [(10. 67±2. 16)%,P<0. 01].Conclusion BQ123 may have protective effects on lung tissue after limb ischemia-reperfusion in rats by means of improving neutrophil aggregation and reducing the expression of proteins related to cell apoptosis.

AIM: To clarify the role of Cl - in regulatory volume decrease (RVD) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CNE-2Z).METHODS: Analysis of living cell images was used to detect the volume changes following exposure to hypotonic solution. Iron replacement and block of iron channels were also applied in the present study. RESULTS: Extracelluar hypotonic treatment made the cells swell and induced RVD. The RVD was correlated positively to the swelling in the range of 160-230 mOsmol/L. Substitution of gluconate for Cl - in perfusing solutions markedly increased RVD. Depletion of cellular Cl - abolished, and chloride channel blockers inhibited RVD. CONCLUSION: Cl - is the key iron to establish the RVD in CNE-2Z cells. Activation of Cl - channels and Cl - efflux are the major mechanisms of RVD.

Objective:
Characteristics of clinical, MRI and electroencephalogram after trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning.
Methods:
The clinical manifestations, MRI, EEG, treatment and prognosis of 16 patients with TMT poisoning were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Among the 16 cases of TMT poisoning, 6 cases were severe poisoning, 4 cases were moderate poisoning, and 6 cases were mild poisoning. All patients had dizziness, headache, general fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other general clinical symptoms. Six patients with severe poisoning had psychobehavioral abnormalities, including 4 patients with mania, delirium, ataxia, epileptic seizures. Glasgow was 15 points in mild and moderate poisoning. Of the 6 cases of severe poisoning, 4 cases of Glasgow were 9~11 points, and 2 cases of Glasgow were 13 points. 2 patients with severe poisoning had abnormal MRI in head, and the total abnormal rate was 12.50%. Toxic encephalopathy was considered in 1 case with abnormal signal of corpus callosum pressure, and patchy ischemic foci of left cerebral foot and mild cerebral atrophy in 1 case. The total abnormal rate of EEG was 56.25%. The abnormal rate of electroencephalogram in severe poisoning was 83.33%. There were 2 cases of severe abnormal electroencephalogram, 2 cases of moderate abnormal electroencephalogram and 1 case of slight abnormal electroencephalogram. Twelve patients were recovered and discharged from hospital. 4 cases of severe poisoning are still getting better, and there are still cerebellar ataxia symptoms such as dizziness and unstable walking.
Conclusion
In clinical work, attention should be paid to the identification of patients with mild and moderate TMT poisoning, and attention should be paid to the patients with severe TMT poisoning manifested by disturbance of consciousness. The positive rate of MRI test in TMT poisoning is low, and the lesion is nonspecific. Electroencephalogram test has a high positive rate in TMT poisoning, which can well reflect the degree of illness. Attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of neurodegeneration caused by TMT poisoning.

Objective:
Clinical analysis of sequelae of 16 patients with trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning after 2 years.
Methods:
Sixteen patients with TMT poisoning from a waste recycling company in Ganzhou City in August 2016 were enrolled. They were investigated by questionnaires and assessed by various scales after two years. 6 cases of severe poisoning were examined by head MRI. The scale includes Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Depression Scale (HAMD) , Simple Mental State Examination Scale (MMSE) , Activity of Daily Living (ADL) , International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) .
Results:
16 cases of TMT poisoning still have headache, dizziness and other symptoms. Instability of walking in 4 patients with severe poisoning, and the brain MRI manifestations included obvious atrophy of temporal lobe, hippocampus, insula lobe, cerebellum and ventricle enlargement. Two patients were rated as severe mixed anxiety and depression, one as moderate mixed anxiety and depression, and one as mild anxiety. 3 cases were diagnosed as dementia and 1 case as mild cognitive impairment. Two cases were totally dependent on living ability. ICARS scores were 66 points and 63 points respectively. Two cases were mildly dependent on living ability. ICARS scores were 28 points and 6 points respectively. There were 2 cases of mild mixed anxiety and depression in mild and moderate poisoning patients, and 1 case of mild cognitive impairment in each patient. They could live independently. ICARS scores were 0.
Conclusion
After 2 years of TMT poisoning, some patients still have general clinical symptoms such as dizziness, headache and so on. There are also mental and intellectual symptoms such as anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment. Some of patients with severe poisoning presented with dementia and cerebellar ataxia, and even lost independent living ability.
