Objective To explore the advantage of Body-Jet hydrodynamic liposuction system in autologous fat transplantation.Methods Through the unique hydrodynamic jet washing liposuction technology and the closed fat storage system,the fat was filtrated and purified,and then the fat was injected into the posterior space of greater pectoral muscle and breast tissue as well as subcutanous tissue of the breast with unique reverse-directed double orifice injector.During May 2015 to July 2016,27 patients were treated in our hospital and followed up for 30 to 180 days.Results All patients had good incision healing;there were no rugged skin,hematoma,seroma and other complications in the liposuction site.In 25 patients after augmentation the breast had rounded appearance and good feeling;1 patient presented liquefied fat,1 patient had poor survival of the injected fat;later 2 cases underwent second surgery.Conclusions The liposuction system can be applied in autologous adipose transplantation breast augmentation.The procedure is simple and quick.The survival rate after adipose transplantation is high with quick recovery.The shape of the breast is full and round with good feeling.

Objective To explore the effect and method of the theory teaching of general practice course for eight-year program of clinical medical students. Methods The course of General Medicine was set up for 87 students from two grades in their fourth school year. All of them attended a closed-book exami-nation when they finished the lectures. The satisfaction rates, necessity and the suggestion of teaching and assessment were collected from the questionnaire. Results The examination results of the two grade students were (80.92±7.26) and (83.76±5.75); The satisfaction rate was 40.2％ (35/87); Necessity of the courses was between 3.6 to 4.1 (5-point-Likert-scale). The way of teaching method students chose was dif-ferent by course content. Conclusion The theory teaching of general practice course for eight-year program of clinical medical students needs more reform from curriculum designing, teaching methods, faculty train-ing and evaluation methods.

Objective To discuss the application value of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in occluding procedure with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for children muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSD).Methods Forty-nine mVSD patients for occluding procedure with CPB were performed guided and monitored by TEE,9 cases were simple mVSD,40 were mVSD combined with other cardiac malformations.The location,size,number,scope and the surrounding anatomy of mVSD were carefully observed before going into cardiac arrest,preparing the operator to choose appropriate occluder devices.The procedure was evaluated after the recovery of heart beat using TEE.Results In all of the 49 patients underwent occluding procedure,44 cases were implanted into one occluder,5 implanted into two occluders.The results of TEE after operation showed that the positions of all occluders were not shifted,2 had trace residual shunt,there were no complications worsening,such as mitral and aortic regurgitation,etc.One patient abandoned treatment for serious infection,the other patients' occluders were all in normal position followed up at 6 months to 2 years after operation,there were no tiny residual shunt and valves regurgitation except 1 patient.Conclusions The technique that TEE guiding and monitoring in occluding procedure with cardiopulmonary bypass for children muscular ventricular septal defects can shorten the time of cardiopulmonary bypass,significantly reducing complications and risks of the surgery,improving the successful rate.

Objective To analyze clinical charaCteristics and diagnostic experience on thyrotropinoma (TSHoma).Methods Clinical characteristics,laboratory findings,diagnostic experience,and surgical outcome were summarized from 16 cases of TSHoma in our hospital from January 2006 to September 2011.Results ( 1 )Among 16 cases ( 9 male,7 female ) aged ( 51.63 ± 13.23 ) years,14 ( 87.5 ％ ) cases presented with hyperthyroidism and 2 were diagnosed by physical examination. None of them had exophthalmos, acropachy, or pre-tibial myxedema.( 2 ) Serum FT4 and FT3 levels were all above normal range with serum TSH ( 4.37 ± 2.77 ) μIU/ml.There were 25％ (4/16) cases with positive serum thyroglobulin antibody and/or thyroid peroxidase antibody,none with positive TSH receptor antibody.TRH stimulating test was performed in 9 cases,3 were with positive response ( peak TSH level increased by 5.45-9.20 μIU/ml compared with baseline),and 6 without response (peak TSH level increased by -0.01-3.15 μIU/ml compared with baseline).TSH was suppressed to 27.15％ (5.19％-99.15 ％ ) of the baseline in 11 cases in which somatostatin suppression test was carried out.Prolactin and insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ levels were increased in 2 cases.MRI performed in 15 patients showed 10 cases of microadenomas and 5 cases of pituitary adenoma.A mass in nasal cavity was found in one case,where no mass was found in the pituitary.( 3 )Surgery was made in 11 cases ( 9 patients underwent transsphenoidal operation,one craniotomy,and one underwent operation via endoscopic nasal septum ). All patients (11/11) were proved to yield pituitary adenoma pathologically.Conclusion Thyrotropinoma should be considered in hyperthyroidism with unsuppressed TSH level,and dynamic tests facilitated early diagnosis.Ectopic thyrotropinoma shoull be considered when normal pituitary morphology was shown by MRI.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with urolithiasis.Methods The clinical data of 9 PHPT patients who were evaluated with simple metabolic evaluation in 881 urolithiasis from 2000 to 2005 were summarized and the references were reviewed.Results The level of serum calcium was (2.96±0.48)mmol/L before operation, (1.94±0.42) mmol/L after operation.The level of parathyroid hormone(PTH) was(1133.53±788.21)pmol/L before op-eration,(74.52±49.17)pmol/L after operation.The level of serum calcium and PTH changed significantly after the parathyroidectomy (P<0.01).Follow-up for 14 months to 6 years.the ureteral stones fragments with lithotripsy were clear after 3 months and followed without recurrence,although the renal stones without lithotripsy were followed with no significant change.Conclusions Increase of serum calcium or increase of PTH above double with normal serum calcium may be helpful for diagnosis of PHPT with urolithiasis.Ureteral stone with PHPT should be treated together.Renal stone with PHPT may be followed up after the parathv-roidectomy,and be treated until the complications were occurred.It suggests that the maidend diagnosed pa-tient with urolithiasis should be added with simple metabolic evaluation,including serum calcium, phospho-nium and PTH.

BACKGROUND: Biological characteristics of porcine cardiovascular system are similar to that of human. The metabolism, immune system, mechanism of disease have 99% homology between pig and human. OBJECTIVE: To develop ventricular aneurysm animal models by plugging left anterior descending branch. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The animal observational study was performed at the Laboratory of Functional Material and Animal Experimental Center, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from December 2005 to July 2007. MATERIALS: A total of 13 pigs, of both genders, weighing 30-40 kg, were used in this study. METHODS: After abdominal cavity and intravenous anesthesia, balloon with "WYW" stent was put into 13 pig left anterior descending coronary artery following No. 7 artery sheathing canal was implanted. The balloon was dilated and the stent was positioned into the distal point of the first diagonal branch to obstruct the artery under digital subtraction angiography. During and after the operation, electrocardiogram was monitored and recorded to maintain stable vital sign. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electrocardiogram, serum myocardial enzymes, myocardial radionuciide imaging, echocardiography and angiography and pathological changes were observed. RESULTS: One rat died of anesthetic accident before surgery. Six rats died from ventricular fibrillation during plugging, and the other 6 rats were survival. 4 weeks following surgery, coronary angiography showed blood flow at distal end was blocked 100%. Left ventricle angiography demonstrated that wall motion at apex of the heart and the left ventricle disappeared. Before embolism, electrocardio-monitoring displayed electrocardiogram was normal. After plugging, ST segment was raised continuously; amplitude of R wave was decreased; T wave was erected; ST-T fusion wave appeared; precordial leads were obvious. ST segment was reduced to basic level 2 week later, and pathological Q wave appeared 4 weeks later. Serum treponin was increased at 12 hears following surgery compared with before surgery (P < 0.01). Radioactive nuclide myocardial imaging revealed that cardiac apex and left ventdcle anterior wall showed radioactive nuclide perfusion filling defect, thin ventricular wall and ventricular aneurysm. Cardiac ultrasonic showed six pigs suffered from weaken segmentation contraction motor of local ventricular wall, especially at anterior wall of the left ventricle and cardiac apex. After hematoxylin-eesin staining, optical microscope exhibited that cardiac muscle fiber disappeared, which was replaced by collagen fiber, with the presence of some capillary at the infarct of cardiac apex. Pyknosis and lysis of residual cardiac muscle fiber were visible in infarct region of anterior wall of the right ventricle. Many inflammatory cells and capillary infiltration were detected besides collagen fiber filling. CONCLUSION: The new approach of "WYW" intervention embolization is able to develop the ventricular aneurysm animal model, which is similar to clinical pathophysiological variation. The outcome is precise and reliable.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear transcriptional factors closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity. Activation of PPARs targets treated type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension and other metabolic diseases by insulin resistance. Recently, a variety of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been proved to activate PPARs targets for improving insulin resistance, which has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. In this paper, we reviewed the pathological mechanisms between insulin resistance and PPARs, and summarized the active ingredients of TCMs improved insulin resistance based on PPARs targets. This paper may provide some theoretical guidance for the development of new drugs and TCMs.
