Objective To compare the diagnostic value for hysteromyona with trans-abdominal ultrasound (TAS) and trans-virginal ultrasound(TVS). Methods Two empirical doctors detected respectively 82 patients by TAS and TVS in double blind method. The results were compared with pathological results. Result The correct rate of diagnosis in 82 patients with 123 hysteromyoma focus by TVS and TAS was 96.75% and 86.18% respectively.There was statistical difference between TAS and TVS. The correct rate of combining use of the two method was 98. 37%. Couclusion Either TVS or TAS had its own merit and defect, Combining use of the two method could raise the correct rate.

Objective To investigate the expression and cellular localization of metallothionein-1 (MT-1) in mouse kidney. Methods The adult male CD-1 mice were selected as experimental animals. The protein of MT-1 in mouse renal cortex and medulla was detected by Western blot assay. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence methods were ap-plied to observe the location of MT-1 in renal tubules and collecting ducts of mouse kidney. Double-immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to observe the subcellular localization of MT-1 in the epithelial cells of re-nal tubules and collecting ducts of mouse kidney. Results The expression of MT-1 was detected in cortex and medulla of mouse kidney. The expression of MT-1was mainly found in proximal convoluted tubules and distal convoluted tubules of cor-tical labyrinth, and proximal straight tubules, distal straight tubules and collecting ducts of ray medullary and medulla of kid-ney. The strongest expression of MT-1 was found in proximal tubules, secondary in distal tubules and last in collecting ducts. The intracellular location of MT-1 was in brush border of proximal tubules and intracytoplasm, in the distal tubule epi-thelial cell cytoplasm and in the basolateral membranes of collecting duct epithelial cells. The subcellular localization was found in the lysosome. Conclusion The different locations of MT-1 expressed in proximal tubules, distal tubules and col-lecting ducts may determine different roles of them in kidney.

Objective To determine the association between macrocalcificatoin in thyroid nodule and thyroid carcinoma. Methods Sonogram of 169 patients of thyroid nodule with macrocalcification was retrospectively analyzed. The ultrasonographic finding was compared with pathological results after excision. Macrocalcification was divided into three types and assessed the relation between each type macrocalcification and thyroid carcinoma.Results Macrocalcification was detected in 176 nodules, 122 were malignant, and 54 were benign. Irregular macrocalcification were more common in malignant nodule (82.9%, 34/41), the malignant risk of solitary macrocalcification were lower (58.5%,31/53),and the malignant risk of curvilinear macrocalcification were between irregular macrocalcification and solitary macrocalcification (69.5%, 57/82). Conclusion Ultrasonography can play an important role in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodule macrocalcification.

Objective To study the relationship between microwave radiation exposure during pregnancy and the offspring health. Methods The pregnant Kunming mice were divided into 3 groups and exposed to microwave radiation of 0, 570 and 1 400 ?W/cm2 respectively. The bone marrow cells of the offspring were collected for the determination of chromosome aberration (CA), sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronucleus frequency (MNF). Results SCE showed a significant change in high intensity group, as for CA and MNF, no significant change was seen compared with the control. Conclusion Microwave radiation exposure during pregnancy may induce germ plasm damages in the offspring.

Objective To observe the cell apoptosis, oxidative stress reaction and expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in kid?ney of dietary zinc deficiency mice during growth period, and discuss the mechanism of renal cell apoptosis induced by zinc deficiency. Methods Thirty weaning male mice were randomly divided into zinc-deficient group and zinc-adequate group, and 15 mice for each group. Zinc-deficient group was fed with zinc deficiency diet (0.85 mg/kg), while zinc-adequate group was fed with enough zinc diet (30 mg/kg). The TUNEL method was applied to observe the cell apoptosis, and the apoptotic in?dex was measured. The content of SOD and MDA were detected to observe the oxidative stress reaction in kidney. The ex?pression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with zinc-adequate group, the cell apoptosis and oxidative stress reaction were increased in zinc-deficient group. The expression of Bcl-2 de?creased, and the expression of Bax increased. The ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax declined in kidney of zinc deficiency mice. Conclu?sion Diet zinc deficiency in growth period may result in the decreased antioxidase, the increased oxidative stress reaction, and the changed Bcl-2 and Bax expression, which promote the occurrence of cell apoptosis in kidney.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the changes of renal artery blood stream parameters in patients with essential hypertensive by color Doppler ultrasonography. Methods Ninety patients with essential hypertension were enrolled and divided into three groups (grade 1,2,3 ) according to their clinical blood pressure from May 2006 to July 2010 and each group included 30 cases. Thirty normal individuals were assigned to the control group. Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to determine the blood flow spectrum of bilateral main renal arteries, segmental arteries and interlobar arteries of kidneys. The parameters included Vmax, Vmin, Vmin/Vmax, resistance index (RI) were recorded and analyzed. Results In the control group, the Vmax,Vmin,Vmin/Vmax and RI in main renal arteries were (63.99 ± 7.68)cm/s, (23.86 ± 3.07) cm/s,0. 38 ± 0. 05 and 0. 62 ± 0. 05 ;in segmental arteries were ( 52. 93 ± 4. 24) cm/s, ( 20. 89 ± 2. 47 ) cm/s,0. 40 ±0. 04 and 0. 60 ±0. 04;in interlobar arteries were (35. 32 ±4. 22)cm/s, ( 15.07 ±2. 54) cm/s,0. 43 ±0. 04 and 0. 57 ± 0. 04. Compared to the control, only Vmin, Vmin/Vmax and RI in interlobar arteries were statistically changed in grade 1 hypertension group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). While in grade 2 hypertension group, all the blood flow parameters except Vmax in main renal arteries statistically changed compared to the control group(P ＜ 0.05 ). In grade 3 hypertension group, all the blood flow parameters showed statistically differences when compared to control group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). The Vmax, Vmin, Vmin/Vmax decreased along with the blood pressure increased,however, the RI increased along with BP. Conclusion The renal artery blood stream parameters determined by color Doppler ultrasonography can provide important information to evaluate abnormal renal function in patients with hypertension.

Objective To observe the impact of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on blood pressure and heart rate in adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 48 adult SCI patients who accepted HBO therapy from March to November, 2014, were observed. Other 48 non-SCI patients matched sexes and ages were as the controls. Their blood pressure and heart rate were measured before chambering, before compression, HBO for 30 minutes, before decompression and at the end of decompression. The patients were divided into high SCI group and low SCI group based on the injury levels above or below T4. Results The blood pressure was lower in the high SCI patients than their controls (t>6.337, P<0.001), and increased as taking in the oxygen. There was no significant difference between the high SCI patients than their controls as they took in for 30 minutes and before the decompression (P>0.05). No difference was found between both groups in heart rate (P>0.05). For the low SCI patients, neither the blood pressure nor the heart rate was different from their controls (P>0.05). Conclusion The blood pressure may increase during HBO intaking in the high SCI patients, which need be paid attention to.

To compare posterior choroidal thickness in high myopia amblyopia eyes at different points to high myopia and normal eyes of Chinese children and investigate the relationships between choroidal thickness, axial length and age.METHODS: Fifty Chinese children (65 eyes) with age 4~15 years ( mean 9. 91 ± 3. 41 years) were recruited. By atropine optometry they were divided into high myopia amblyopia group ( 24 eyes ) , high myopia group ( 19 eyes ) , and normal group ( 22 eyes ) . Choroidal scans were obtained for all eyes using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography ( EDl-OCT) . Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), macular thinkness, choroidal thickness and retinal thickness at 0. 5, 1. 0, 1. 5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0mm superior (S, 12:00 position), temporal ( T, 9:00 position) , inferior ( l, 6:00 position) , nasal ( N, 3:00 position) were measured. Meanwhile, axial lengths of all eyes were measured by A-Scan. RESULTS: Compared high myopia group and emmetropia group, SFCT and the thickness of choroids on each position were thinnest in high myopic amblyopia group, with statistically significant differences (P<0. 05). There was a significant negative correlation between SFCT and axial length in high myopic amblyopia group (r=-0. 531, R2 =0. 282, F=7. 476, P=0. 013), with no relative in age (r=-0. 292, R2=0. 085, F=2. 044, P=0. 167).CONCLUSlON: The choroidal thickness thinning in high myopic amblyopia shows a negative correlation with axial length.
