Objective To study the pathological morphology of thyroid specimen after thyroid arteries embolization. In order to select appropriate size of embolizing granules, the diameters of thyroid arteries in Graves' disease were measured. Methods Multiple slides of embolized thyroid tissues from superior pole, body and inferior pole of the resected thyroid glands were made. After being embedded and stained, pathological morphology was observed and diameters of arteries in various parts of thyroid glands were measured under microscopy. Results Pathological examination of thyroid glands showed that superior and inferior thyroid arteries and most of their branches were embolized with ischemic necrosis and fibrosis in the embolized thyroid tissue. Follicular epithelium appeared as flat or cubic shapes with colloid reduction. Average diameter of main branches of superior artery was 440~550?m and that of inferior artery was 300~375?m. The diameters of capillary network in the thyroid body was 120~250?m, and the non embolized ones was 40~110?m. The diameter of isthmus was 130~150?m. Conclusions Pathological morphology of Graves' disease after thyroid arteries embolization showed that the excretion of thyroid glands would be decreased and equivalents to subtotal thyroidectomy.

Objective To observe the effects of blood nourishing and wind expel formulae on learning and memory capabilities of rats with tic disorders. Methods Intradialytic Parenteral Nutrition peritoneal injection was used to establish the rat model of tic disorders. The successful test subjects were categorized into 5 different groups, namely the model group, the Chinese medicine groups (low dosage, medium dosage and high dosage) and the western medicine group. The test groups were each given gastric perfusion of the related medicine, whereas the control and model groups were each given equal amounts of saline solution continuously for 8 weeks. Open field test and water maze test were carried out in the 1st, 4th and 8th weeks to evalute the learning and memory capabilities. Results In comparison with the control group, the model group showed obvious increase in movement across grid and decrease in vertical locomotion. Statistical significance was obtained showing an increase in vertical locomotion in the treatment groups compared with the model group. In the Chinese medicine groups, the medium and high dosage groups exhibited shorter escape latency and increased exploratory behavior (P<0.05) in the 4th and 8th weeks. Conclusion Among the blood nourishing and wind expel formula, the medium and high dosage showed ameliorating effects on the memory and learning capabilities of rats with tic disorders.

Objective To evaluate a surgical approach and anastomosis for the treatment of carcinoma of the gastric cardia. Methods Transabdominal intramediastinal esophagogastric anastomosis covered by sero-muscular flap of gastricwall for cardial carcinoma in 187 cases. Results The method reached the satisfactory surgical result in terms of tumor free cut edge on esophagus end of the resected samples. And the morbidity rate was 5.8%. Conclusion The technique enables lymphadenectomy within the lower mediastinum and a sufficiently long enough resection of esophagus. Transabdominal incision of the crus dextrum of the diaphragm makes a clear operative field for the purpose of radical operation for carcinoma of the gastric cardia. The anastomosis effectively prevents anastomotic leakage. This procedure is indicated for cardial carcinoma cases in which the esophaged involvement is within 2cm.

Objective To clone and express the partial encoding sequence of Mr 70 000 heat shock protein of Cryptosporidium andersoni (CaHSP70) in Escherichia coli and identify the recombinant protein. Methods Total RNA was extracted from oocysts of C.andersoni isolated from Xuzhou, Jiangsu (XZ-BOV). The CaHSP70 gene was amplified by RT-PCR. The PCR product was cloned and then subcloned into pET28a vector, and the recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) subsequently. The expressed protein induced by IPTG was purified and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, and was further analyzed by relevant bioinformatics softwares. The specific IgG antibodies in mice immunized by rCaHSP70 were detected by Western blotting and ELISA respectively. Results The deduced amino acid sequence showed to be identical with that of C. andersoni Mr 70 000 heat shock protein (HSP70). The recombinant protein expressed in the form of inclusion body was about Mr 43 000. It could be recognized by anti-His G labeled HRP antibodies and all the sera from mice infected with C. andersoni and children infected with C. parvum as well as sera from mice immunized with rCaHSP70 respectively. The rCaHSP70 possibly had multiple domains and potential antigenic determinants. Phylogenetic analysis showed that XZ-BOV and C. andersoni were in the same clade. ELISA showed that the level of specific antibodies against rCaHSP70 in immunized BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice was significantly higher than that of mice before immunization. Conclusion The recombinant plasmid pET28a-CaHSP70 has been constructed. The purified rCaHSP70 exhibits high antigenicity and seems a potential candidate antigen for immunodiagnosis of cryptosporidiosis.

Objective To discuss the effect and safety about large dosage of tilofiban injection into coronary artery in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A prospective study was conducted. Two hundred and eighteen patients with STEMI admitted into Cardiology Department of Taizhou Central Hospital were enrolled. According to the difference in dosage, they were divided into a large dosage tilofiban group (102 cases) and a routine dosage tilofiban group (116 cases). In both groups, they received the injection of load dosage of tilofiban into coronary artery during they underwent primary PCI, the load dosage being 25μg/kg in the large dosage group, and 10μg/kg in the routine dosage group. Afterwards, the dosage was kept on 0.15μg·kg-1·min-1 in both groups lasting for 18-24 hours. The flow of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) immediately after PCI, the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours, the rate of bleeding events, the rate of major adverse cardiac event [MACE, including death, re-infarction and target vessel revascularization (TVR)] and prognosis after operation for 30 days were observed. Results The ratios of the immediate reflow of TIMI 3 grade after operation and the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours in the large dosage tirofiban group were higher than those in the routine dosage tirofiban group [the ratio of the reflow of TIMI 3 grade:92.16%(94/102) vs. 81.90%(95/116), the ratio of the return of ST-segment after operation for 2 hours:89.22%(91/102) vs. 73.28%(85/116), both P < 0.05]. The ratios of re-infarction, TVR and the total MACE in 30 days after operation in large dosage tirofiban group were lower than those in the routine dosage tirofiban group [re-infarction: 0.98% (1/102) vs. 2.59% (3/116), TVR: 0.98% (1/102) vs. 2.59% (3/116), total MACE: 1.96% (2/102) vs. 6.03% (7/116), all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in mortality and the bleeding events between the large dosage tirofiban group and routine dosage tirofiban group [mortality:0 (0/102) vs. 0.86%(1/116), bleeding events:1.96%(2/102) vs. 0.86%(1/116), both P>0.05]. Conclusion The injection of a large dosage of tilofiban into a coronary artery in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI is an effective and safe method to allow them to get more clinical benefits.
