Objective To explore the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography and ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.Methods 142 patients with ectopic pregnancy were given ultrasonic examination,to observe whether intrauterine gestational sac,carefully looking for recognition of ovarian masses and distinguish the relationship and structure,and were compared with pathologic diagnosis.Results Ultrasound could clearly display the uterus,ovary,failed to break the gestational sac and blood(block) mass image structure,with pathological diagnosis coincidence rate was 95.1％ (135/142),the misdiagnosis rate was 1.4％ (2/142),the missed diagnosis rate of 3.5％ (5/142).Conclusion Ultrasound was rapid,simple,noninvasive,high-accuracy,it was the preferred method for early diagnosis of the ectopic pregnancy.

Objective To compare the effects of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) on classifications and locations of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) located under subretinal hemorrhage in age-related macular degeneration, and on the area-measuring of subretinal hemorrhage. Methods The medical record of 177 patients with subretinal hemorrhage associated with AMD confirmed by photochrome of ocular fundus, FFA and ICGA examinations were retrospectively reviewed. The locations and classifications of CNV on the images of FFA and ICGA in the 177 patients and the area of subretinal hemorrhage of 30 patients randomly selected from the 177 patients were analyzed and measured. Results On the images of FFA, the locations and classifications of CNV could be defined in 160 patients (90.4%), and CNV was considered eligible for laser therapy in 24 patients (13.6%). On the images of ICGA, the locations and classifications of CNV could be defined in 175 patients (98.9%),and CNV was considered eligible for laser therapy in 51 patients (28.8%). There was no statistical difference of the locations (Z=-0.383,P=0.701) and classifications (?2=2.993,P=0.810) of CNV on the images of FFA and ICGA. The areas of blocked fluorescence measured on the images of FFA (=26.610 mm2 and M= 13.548 mm2) were larger than those of ICGA (=24.714 mm2, M=12.875 mm2) with statistical differences (Z=-3.000,P=0.003) between FFA and ICGA. Conclusions ICGA is beneficial for imaging CNV located under subretinal hemorrhage, and may increase the number of the patients who are considered eligible for laser treatment. The effect of measurement of the area of subretinal hemorrhage in AMD evaluated by FFA is better.

In this study,we isolated and characterized chlorobenzene degrading bacteria from the effluent and sludge samples of one chemical plant.Minimal medium supplemented with chlorobenzene as sole car-bon source was used during the enrichment and domestication process.Seven major bacterial isolates were obtained and purified.Their 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR for sequencing and their identities were determined with homology comparisons.Five of the seven isolates belong to Actinomycetales in-cluding Kocuria KD139,Rhodococcus KD140,Rhodococcus KD142,Arthrobacter KD230,and Ar-throbacter KD232;one is classified as Bacillus d KD178;and another one as Stenotrophomonas KD237.The phylogenetic tree was also constructed based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences.Chloro-benzene concentrations were quantified with gas chromatography to investigate the bio-degradation rates of the isolated strains.Stenotrophomonas KD237 degraded 60.78% chlorobenzene in the minimal medium within 24 h.

The etiology of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS)is more complex.Its pathogenesis has a lot of controversies,and its clinical manifestations are headache, nausea,vomiting,epileptic seizure,consciousness disturbance and visual abnormality.Neuroim- aging examinations have shown that diffuse symmetrical white matter edema is predominantly in the bilateral posterior brain regions.Clinical symptoms and neuroimaging changes can be recov- ered completely after timely and effective treatment.If the treatment is delayed,it may compli- cate with cerebral infarction or hemorrhage,and lead to irreversible damage.

High fidelity human patient simulator has become more and more important in clinical medical practice education.Medical circle has more and more realized that non-technical skill (NTS) is closely associated with the improvement of medical quality.This paper attempted to carry out a preliminary discussion on theory and practice of applying NTS in simulation training of critical care medicine based on their own teaching experiences.

Objective To investigate T cell receptor(TCR)variable β(BV)chain usage at the maternal-fetal interface and explore the relationship between the skewed TCR BV usage and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(BSA).Methods Eighteen cases with unexplained RSA,together with matched 41 women with normal pregnancies in first trimester from Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University were studied.A high-resolution spectrum typing analysis of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3)was used to detect and compare the degree and frequency of TCR BV family expression in deciduas between RSA patients and normal controls.Results(1)The expression degree of BV19(0.029±0.031 vs.0.013±0.010,P=0.038)in RSA group showed a higher usage,while BV5.2(0.040±0.035 vs.0.067±0.052,P=0.046)showed a significantly lower usage when compared with normal controls.No significant difference in the expression of the other TCR BV families between RSA and controls were observed(P>0.05).(2),TCR BV2,3,6,and 7 were the four most common BV families in deciduas of patients with RSA and normal controls,whose frequencies were all mors than 50%.In RSA group,higher frequencies of BV15 (33.3%vs.7.3%,P=0.018),BV19(38.9%vs.14.6%,P=0.049)and BV20(33.3%vs.7.3%,P=0.018)were observed;meanuhile lower frequencies of BV4(33.3%vs.65.9%,P=0.026)and BV7 (66.7%vs.92.7%.P=0.018)distributions were observed.The other TCR BV families did not display significantly different freqencies of distribution(P>0.05).Conclusions It is suggested that a significant skewed TCR BV family occurs at the maternal-fetal interface in patients who undergo abortion.The specific skewed usages of TCR BV might be associated with the susceptibility to unexplained pregnancy loss.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of Gitelman′s syndrome, and the differentiation of Gitelman′s syndrome from Bartter′s syndrome. Methods Clinical data of 2 patients diagnosed as Gitelman′s syndrome were retrospectively analysed. Results The symptoms of both patients appeared at adult age, their main manifestation included hypokalaemic alkalosis, hyperreninemia and juxtaglomerular apparatus hyperplasia with normal blood pressure, hypocalciuria and hypomagnesemia, then the diagnosis of Gitelman′s syndrome was established. Potassium and magnesium supplementation ameliorated one patient′s symptom. Another patient treated with indomethacin, serum potassium was recovered to normal level. Conclusion Gitelman′s syndrome and Bartter′s syndrome appear to be similar in the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation and prognosis, but still show some differences, Gitelman′s syndrome should be carefully differentiated from Bartter′s syndrome.

Objective To explore the value of neopterin (Np) in early diagnosis and risk stratification of sepsis.Methods A total of 82 patients admitted to the emergency department from April 2013 to February 2014 were enrolled in the study.They were divided into two groups:sepsis-free group (n =8) and sepsis group (n =74).Patients' APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated within 24 hours after admission,and then their plasma levels of Np and procalcitonin (PCT) were detected and analysis was carried out to find the correlation between plasma levels of Np,PCT and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score (APACHE Ⅱ score) in two groups.And 74 patients in sepsis group were further divided into three subgroups according to their APACHE Ⅱ score:Ⅰ subgroup (score ＜ 15,n =27),Ⅱ subgroup (score 15 to 24,n =32),and Ⅲ subgroup (score ＞ 25 or more,n =15).The differences in plasma Np and PCT levels were compared among three subgroups and correlation analysis of Np levels with PCT levels and APACHE Ⅱ scores was carried out.Results The plasma levels of Np,PCT and APACHE Ⅱ scores in sepsis group were higher than those in sepsis-free group (P ＜ 0.05).In sepsis group,the plasma levels of Np and PCT were gradually increased with the increasing severity of sepsis (P ＜ 0.05);In sepsis group,the plasma levels of Np,PCT and APACHE Ⅱ scores were positively correlated (P ＜0.01).The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of Np was O.79 and the area under ROC of PCT was 0.75,both of which had high diagnostic accuracy.Conclusions Neopterin has greatly useful value in early diagnosis and risk stratification of sepsis.
