Objective　To study the value of B type ultrasonography guiding percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) for hepatic cancer (HC). Methods　70 patients with primary or metastatic hepatic malignancies were treated by PRFA under ultrasound guidance through LeVeen multipolar array needle electrode and RF 2000. All patients were followed up by turnor marker, B type sounography and MRI monthly. Results　PRFA were performed in 53 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 17 cases with metastatic liver cancer. Liver function classfication was 53 cases in Child class A, 15 in class B and 2 in class C. In 21 patients with non-operated small HCC (≤5 cm), 12 of 17 patients with AFP positive were decreased to normal (70.6%) and decreased markedly in 4 (23.5%), and MRI showed the treated tumors were completely necrosis in 16 patients (76.2%). The 3, 6 month survival rates were 90.5%, 100% respectively in small HC groups, and 66.7% to 72.7% and 27.6% to 72.7% in large HC groups.Conclusions　PRFA as a local thermal therapy is becoming a kind of new palliative treatment for hepatic malignancies, which not only is safe, minimally invasive, and effective for small ones; but also can be used with combination of TACE for larger ones.

The flow rate was 1 ml/min and the column temperature was 25 ℃. Results The results showed that catechin was well separated with the good linearity in 0.00756-0.05040 μg/μl. The average recovery of catechin was 100.147%. Conclusions The method could be applied to determine catechin in Songling-Xuemaikang capsules, which would make sure the quality control of capsules.

Objective To examine the application value of reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr)for diagnosing iron deficiency in premenopausal women.Methods The levels of CHr,hemoglobin (Hb), mean cellular volume(MCV),red cell distribution width (RDW) were measured on the ADVIA 120 (Bayer Diagnostics) automated hematology analyzer.Transferrin saturation (TS) and ferritin (SF) were measured on chemistry analyzer.Results CHr in iron deficiency without anemia group were significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (P＜0.01)and significantly higher than that in iron deficiency anemia group(P＜0.01).CHr in anemia of chronic disease group were significantly higher than that in iron deficiency anemia group(P＜0.01).Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis in diagnosis of iron dificiency without anemia demonstrated that the area under the curve for CHr,SF,RDW,MCV,Hb were 0.872,0.798,0.721,0.713,0.677,respectively (P＜0.01).So CHr has a better overall sensitivity than SF,Hb,MCV and RDW in the diagnosis of iron deficiency without anemia.ROC also showed that the area under the curve for Hb,RDW,CHr,SF and MCV was 1.000,0.969,0.958,0.953 and 0.926,respectively (P＜0.01) in iron deficiency anemia.Conclusion CHr is the early and sensitive predictor of iron deficiency in premenopausal women,especially for the diagnosis of iron deficiency without anemia.

Objective To compare the curative effects of CT-guided ethanol injection and lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity in treating ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods A total of 86 patients with ovarian endometriosis cyst were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into ethanol group (n=44) and lauromacrogol group (n=42). Under CT guidance, injections of ethanol or lauromacrogol into the sac cavity of ovarian endometriosis cysts were respectively performed for the patients of both groups. The patients were followed up for six months, and the curative effects and the complications were analyzed. Results Six months after the treatment, the cure rates of ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were 95.50%and 92.86%respectively, and no statistically significant difference in cure rate existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative serum CA125 levels of the ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were (48.42±23.68)μg/L and(49.21±22.83) μg/L respectively, and the post operative ones were (23.56±5.89) μg/L and (25.49± 6.10) μg/L respectively; the differences between the preoperative data and the postoperative data were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.05), although the differences in serum CA125 levels between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the lauromacrogol group was obviously lower than that in the ethanol group (P<0.05). The cure time in the ethanol group was shorter than that in the lauromacrogol group, although the difference was not significant after six months. Conclusion For the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts, CT-guided lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity has reliable curative effect. Compared to ethanol injection, injection of lauromacrogol is safer and has fewer adverse reactions. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice. Serum CA125 can be used as an indicator for the evaluation of curative effect.

Objective To observe the effect of polyethylene terephthalates (PET) coated with 58S bioactive glass on graft-bone healing.Methods The PET coated with 58S bioactive glass was used in experimental group,and uncoated PET was used as a control.The coating solution was made of 20％ bioactive glass powder and 80％ gelatin powder (by weight).In our vitro study,4×104/ml MT3T3-E1 cells were cultured in 24-well plates with the coated or uncoated PET,and the MTT and ALP were tested at 1,3,5 days to show the proliferation and the activity of the cells.The SEM and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were adopted to analyze the surface characteristics of the fiber.In our vivo study,24 skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,the 58S-PET group and the PET group.Both groups underwent a surgical procedure to establish a tibia-articular tendon-bone healing model.Mechanical examination and histological assay were taken to verify the coating effect in vivo.Results The 58S-PET group showed significantly differences in both the MTT and ALP tests at each time point (3,5 days) compared with the PET group.In the animal experiments,the maximum load increased by time in both groups.At 6 weeks,the load-to-failure was significantly higher in the 58S-PET group [(61.70±6.95) N]than that of the PET group [(45.21±9.78) N].At 12 weeks,the load-to-failure was also significantly higher in the 58S-PET group [(89.25±9.50) N]than that of the PET group [(71.38±6.26) N].In the histological assay,it was found that there was new bone formation in the indistinct interface between the graft and the host bone in both groups at 6,12 weeks,and a stronger binding was seen in the 58S-PET group than in the PET group.Conclusion The 58S-PET could enhance the proliferation and activity of the osteoblast and therefore promote the new bone formation and subsequently leads to a positive effect on tendon-bone healing.
