Objective To study the correlation between MRI features and pathology of intraspinal neruilemmoma.Methods MRIfeatures of intraspinal neurilemmomas proved by operation and pathology in 16 cases were analysed retrospectively and in comparison with the results of pathology.Results All the tumors were intradural-extramedullary in location,including 6 in the cervical regions,5 in the upper thoracic regions,3 in the thoracic-lumbar junction and 2 in the lumbar regions.On MRI,the tumors were marginate elliptical heterogeneousisointense or slightly low intense with punctate or patchy more low intensity areas on T_1WI and heterogeneous slightly high intense orisointense with punctate or patchy more high intensity areas on T_2WI.Parts of the masses obviously enhanced with no enhancement of more low intensity areas on T_1WI.All of above imaging manifestations were corresponding to pathology of intraspinal neurilemmomas.Interlace of Antoni A and Antoni B was attributed to heterogeneous intensity.Antoni B that was no obviously enhancement was concentrated in bleeding and cystic areas and Antoni A that was obviously enhancement was concentrated in cellular area and collagen.Conclusion The imaging manifestations of intraspinal neurilemmoma is due to its varied pathologic changes,and this has guiding significance to the correct diagnosis.

In order to improve diagnostic method to Babesia gibsoni infection,gene recombination technique was used in our study.By this technique,we constructed and expressed recombinant apical membrane antigen-1(BgAMA-1),and recombinant BgAMA-1 was used in ELISA experiment as diagnostic antigen.The results showed the recombinant expressed plasmid was triumphantly constructed and the recombinant antigen BgAMA-1 had a high specificity in ELISA test.These results demonstrate that the recombinant BgAMA-1 might be a useful diagnostic reagent for detection of antibodies to B.gibsoni in dogs.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of Softening Liver and Reducing Enzyme Mixed Agent (SLREXA) in the prevention of acute liver injury rats induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). A total of 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, which were the SLREXA low-, middle-, high-dose group, glucurolactone group, normal group and model group. Intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 was used to induce acute liver injury rat mod-el. Intragastric administration of SLREXA was given to each Chinese medicine group. Intragastric administration of distilled water was given to the normal group and the model group. Intragastric administration of glucurolactone aque-ous solution was given to the glucurolactone group. On the 12th day of the experiment, after 16-hour fasting, rats were killed. Pathological changes in liver tissues were examined. Blood serum was determined for alanine aminotrans-ferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The liver homogenate was determined for superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tis-sues of rats. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of mRNA in liver heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). The re-sults showed that in the microscopic examination of liver tissues, compared with the model group, different doses of SLREXA can alleviate pathological damages of liver in varying degrees. Levels of blood serum ALT and AST content in different doses of SLREXA groups and glucurolactone group were significantly lower than those of the model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, contents of GSH-Px, GSH, SOD, CAT in the liver ho-mogenate were significantly increased, and MDA content was decreased significantly (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01) in differ-ent doses of SLREXA groups and glucurolactone group; compared with the model group, the HO-1 mRNA relative expression quantity in the normal group and each treatment group increased obviously, with statistical significance (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). It was concluded that SLREXA can prevent CCl4-induced liver injury rats with definite thera-peutic effect.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of narrow-band imaging (NBI) in diagnosis of color-ectal neoplasm. Methods A total of 96 colorectal neoplasm from 78 patients were observed under NBI, and the findings were compared with those from magnifying chromo-endoscopy and pathologic examinations. Re-suits The sensitivity of conventional colonoscopy in diagnosis of polyps was 78. 7%, which was increased to 99% (P < 0. 05) under NBI, with the clear identification of the shape and boundary of the lesions. Magnif-ying NBI colonoscopy provided images of pit patterns similar to those from chromo-endoscopy in diagnosis of type Ⅱ , ⅢL, Ⅳ and ⅤN, which showed better recognition than conventional colonoscopy, but less sensitiv-ity than chromo-endoscopy. Superficial vascular morphologic features could be better classified with NBI, with sensitivity of 100% and specificity at 87. 8%, which was superior to conventional colonoscopy but infe-rior to chromo-endoscopy. Conclusion Both chromo-endoscopy and NBI colonoscopy have better sensitivity and specificity in detection of colon polyps, while chromo-endoscopy reveals clear superficial structure of le-sion and pit pattern, and NBI demenstrates capillary morphology, which can distinguish neoplasm from non-neoplasm colorectal lesions. NBI, easy and convenient to switch, is an effective technique to make early di-agnosis of colorectal neoplasm.

Objective To understand the incidence of nosocomial infections for providing basis for the development of prevention and control measures.Methods All the hospitalized patients were investigated,data collection used by nosocomial infection surveillance system,the results were statistically analyzed.Results Nosocomial infections occurred in 46 case-times with the infection rate of 3.04％,the top 3 prevalence rates were in ICU(46.15％),department of hematology(21.87％),department of neurosurgery (1 1.76％).The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract (36.96％) and upper respiratory tract (28.26％).The utilization rate of antibiotics was 44.09％.There were 183 patients who received etiology examination with the submission rate of 32.28％.Conclusion The investigation of prevalence of nosocomial infections can contribute to understanding of the incidence of nosocomial infections,and taking interventions to the key departments,strengthening the clinical specimens submission,and standardizing the reasonable use of antibiotics can decrease the incidence of nosocomial infections.

ObjectiveTo establish a practical and effective clinical pathway (CP) for the etiological diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis.MethodsA total of 2216 patients enrolled were randomly divided into control group (n =1120) and CP group (n =1096) according to different etiological diagnosis methods including following doctor's established experiences and habits and the designed CP in our study.ResultsThere was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups.The etiology of acute pancreatitis was determined in 91.1％ (999/1096) of cases in the CP group which was significantly higher than the control group (65.5 ％,734/1120),P ＜ 0.05.The enhanced etiological determination of CP group was mainly consisted of the increased detection of biliary stones,duodenal diseases as well as pancreas divisum,P ＜ 0.05.The positive etiological determination of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the CP group were 59.1％ (273/462) and 86.0％ (98/114),respectively.ConclusionsThe CP established in this study significantly enhances the biliary etiological determination of acute pancreatitis. It is easy to be conducted and may be of importance to improve the quality of etiological diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.

ObjectiveTo explore the early diagnosis and effective treatment of redundant colon,and to reduce the misdiagnosis and shorten the medical treatment time before the diagnosis.MethodsClinical data of twentyseven patients with redundant colon from February 2005 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed in General Surgery Department of 117th and 322th People's Liberation Army Hospital.ResultsThe clinical symptoms of 27 patients nainly as early recurrent intractable constipation,bloating,abdominal pain,weight loss and other symptoms,were likely to be in a misdiagnosis.In addition to three patients with redundant sigmoid colon concurrent reverse came to hospital emergency with surgery,twenty-four cases' symptoms persisted and came to many hospitals with medical treatment up to 32 years,diagnosed by the out-patient barium enema.After surgical resection disease bowel,7-11 months follow-up,patients abdominal distension,abdominal pain,constipation,weight loss and other systemic unwell symptoms disappeared.ConclusionThis disease is rare,we must raise the medical staff's awareness of this disease.X-ray examination with barium enema is the best way to diagnose this disease.After diagnosis,surgery is the most effective treatment.

The aim of the present study was to detect the transmission rate of ultrasonic low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) through polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane (Thickness: 0.01 mm) and Bio-Gide collagen membrane, and to provide the basis for the barrier membrane selection on the study of LIPUS combined with guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The ultrasonic (LIPUS, frequency 1.5 MHz, pulse width 200 micros, repetition rate 1.0 kHz) transmission coefficient of the two kinds of barrier membrane were detected respectively through setting ten groups from 10 to 100mW/cm2 every other 10 mW/cm2. We found in the study that the ultrasonic transmission coefficient through 0.01 mm PTFE membrane was 78.1% to 92.%, and the ultrasonic transmission coefficient through Bio-Gide collagen membrane was 43.9% to 55.8%. The ultrasonic transmission coefficient through PTFE membrane was obviously higher than that through Bio-Gide collagen membrane. The transmission coefficient of the same barrier membrane of the ultrasonic ion was statistically different under different powers (P < 0.05). The results showed that the ultrasonic transmittance rates through both the 0.01 mm PTFE membrane and Bio-Gide collagen membrane were relatively high. We should select barrier membranes based on different experimental needs, and exercise ultrasonic transmission coefficient experiments to ensure effective power.
