Objective To investigate new cases of endemic cretinism in high-risk areas of Inner Mongolia, the prevalence of endemic goiter, the implementation of comprehensive measures, and to provide scientific basis for developing control strategies against iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Methods In 2007 and 2008, a search for new cretin cases was conducted among children under the age of 10 in 11 historical serious epidemic cretinism prevalent areas of Songshan district, Keshiketeng qi, Kalaqin qi, Zhalaite qi, Zhuozi county,Liangcheng county, Qingshuihe county, Helin county, Dongsheng district, Zhungeer qi and Yinjinhuoluo qi. Three to 5 towns were selected in each qi(county, district) and 3 to 5 village primary schools were selected in each town.One hundred and twenty to 200 children aged 8 to 10 were selected in each school to inspect thyroid by B ultrasound and palpation and to test intelligence and urinary iodine. Two villages were selected in each town and 30 households were selected to determine urinary iodine of housewives and salt iodine. Results A total of 56 cases of suspected cases of endemic cretinism were found from the 11 counties but no case was confirmed. The goiter rate of children aged 8 to 10 was 5.2% (309/5922) by palpation and 4.3% (252/5922) by B-ultrasound. The median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 was 241.5 μg/L, and urinary iodine was 100 to 300 μg/L, accounted 65.9%(3901/5920). Median urinary iodine of the 9 Qis(counties, districts) was in the range of 200 and 300μg/L.Higher than 5% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 50 μg/L was zero. Higher than 10% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 100 μg/L was 1. The median urinary iodine of housewives was 225.6 μg/L, and lower than 50 μg/L accounted for 2.2%(35/1597). Higher than 10% of the 11 Qis(counties, districts) with urinary iodine lower than 100 μg/L was 4. A total of 2109 households were investigated and 97.45%(2055/2109) of them ate iodized salt and 2.55%(54/2109) of them ate non-iodized salt. Conclusions In the 11 investigated counties, goiter rate of children has decreased to less than 10%, and no new cretin was found. It could be concluded that the fulfillment of prevention and control of IDD is effective. The iodine nutrition of children and women of childbearing age is in an adequate level. The coverage rate of iodized salt has maintained at a higher level, the sales network is sound, the salt price is reasonable and salt is easy to get and the children's intelligence is protected effectively. But, the health education about IDD is still weak, need to be reinforced.

Objective:To study the relationship between telomerase activity and the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods:Telomerase activity and expression of PCNA in 68 cases of OSCC,34 cases of epithelium immediately adjacent to carcinomas and 12 cases of normal oral mucosa were detected by TRAP-PCR-ELISA and immunohistochemical SP method. Results:The positive rate of telomerase in OSCC, the epithelium immediately adjacent to carcinomas and the normal oral mucosa was 67.65%(46/68), 8.82%(3/34) and 0(0/12) respectively. Telomerase activity in OSCC was related to the grade of the clinicopathology(P

Objective： This study was designed to evaluate the clinical experience of esophageal replacement with colon (ERC). Methods： Among 51 patients, 6 with benign stricture and 45 with esophageal carcinoma, all of them were performed cervical esophagocologastrostomy. Among 51 patients, 48 patients received ERC by the transverse colon, including isoperistaltic anastomosis (27/48) and antiperistaltic anastomosis (21/48); three patients received ERC along the peristaltic direction by the right-side colon. In these patients, 24 cases were supplied blood by the arteria colica media and 27 cases by the arteria colica sinistra. Results： There was no operative death in the whole group. The postoperative complications consisted of leakage of cervical anastomosis(2 cases), cervical wound inflammation(3 cases), laryngeal recurrent nerve injury (1 cases), lung inflammation (3 cases). Conclusion： The authors conclude that colon was rich in blood and enough in length so that it can be grafted into neck and anastomosed with the esophagus and the result is satisfactory. Improved surgical technique can reduce the incidence of complications of ERC.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of double contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (DCUS) in the macroscopic classification of rectal carcinoma. Methods Seventy-one patients with rectal carcinoma were examined by ultrasound after intrarectal infusion and intravenous bolus injection of SonoVue preoperatively. And three types were divided according to the shape of the tumor:protruding type, ulcerative type and invasive type. After surgery, DCUS and perfusion contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (PCUS) were compared with final pathologic results respectively, and the relationship between general tumor type and TN staging were analyzed.Results The accuracy of DCUS [88.7%(63/71) ] in macroscopic classification of rectal carcinoma was significantly higher than that of PCUS [73.2%(52/71) ](χ2=5.534,P<0.05). For the invasion depth into the intestinal wall, the protruding type was mainly in T1, T2 and T3 stages while ulcerative and invasive type in T2, T3 and T4 stages (χ2=12.322, P<0.05 ). For the stage of lymph node, the protruding type was mainly in N0 and N1 while ulcerative and invasive type in N1 and N2(χ2=6.733,P < 0.05 ). Conclusions DCUS, with its high accuracy, is a new valuable method for macroscopic classification of rectal carcinoma.In the aspect of intestinal wall invasion and the lymph node, protruding type is less severe than ulcerative type and invasive type.

involved,reexamination with colonoscopy is reconanended.

Objective To study the impact of Xingnaojing (XNJ) injection (a preparation of Chinese herb medicine) on the permeability of blood-brain barrier and Caveolin-1 in cortex of brain after global ischemia-reperfusion.Methods Modified Pulsinelli method for four-vessel occlusion was employed to establish the global ischemia reperfusion model in rats.Male Wistar rats were randomly (random number) divided into three groups,namely sham group,model group and XNJ group.Each group was observed at 24 h,48 h and 72 h after ischemia reperfusion.The water content of brain tissue was determined by dry/wet weight ratio,while the Evans blue (EB) concentration in brain tissue was detected by spectrophotometer.Western blot was used to detect caveolin-1 level in the cerebral cortex.Results The water contents of brain tissue in model group and XNJ group were significantly higher than that in sham group 24 hour after ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).But at 48 h and 72 h after ischemia-reperfusion,the brain water content in model group was significantly higher than that in XNJ group and sham group (P ＜ 0.05).The EB concentrations in brain tissue in model group and XNJ group were higher than that in sham group 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).EB levels in sham group and XNJ group were significantly lower than that in model group 48 h and 72 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).Caveolin-1 levels in cerebral cortex in sham group and XNJ group were significantly higher than that in model group 24 h,48 h and 72 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After global ischemia-reperfusion,Xingnaojing (XNJ) injection could protect blood-brain barrier in virtue of regulating caveolin-1 protein level.
