Objective To observe the short-term efficacy of treating the tumorous airway obstruction by placing net stents following high-frequency electrocautery via fiberoptic bronchoscope.Methods 14 patients of lung cancer with airway obstruction had undergone the tumor burning excision by high-frequency electrocautery via fiberoptic bronchoscope and placed net stents , then to observe the clinical efficiency.Results 14 patients of lung cancer with airway obstruction all revealed better efficacies, obviously improving Karnofsky scores and pulmonary function, and no evident complication was found.Conclusion Placing net stents following high-frequency electrocautery via fiberoptic bronchoscope can cure efficiently the tumorous airway obstruction, and have popular value.

AIM: To observe the effect of angiotensinⅡ subtype 2 receptor (AT_2 receptor) on the cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells. METHODS: The plasmid contained the cDNA of AT_2 receptor was transfected into cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. The effects of AngⅡ, Ang Ⅱ+losartan, Ang Ⅱ+PD123319 on the expression of PCNA, the NOS activity and the cell number were observed. RESULTS: The cell number and the expression of PCNA decreased after the cells were treated with losartan. When treated with PD123319, the cell number and the expression of PCNA increased, but the expression of NOS decreased. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that when being activated, AT_2 receptor inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and antagonizes the effect of AT_1 receptor, such an effect may be related to the activation of NOS.

Objective To evaluate the inflammatory response and the expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)isoforms(PPARα,PPARβ/δ,and PPARγ)in the brain(cortex,striatum,cerebellum)of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Methods Brain tissues(cortex,striatum,and cerebellum)were dissected from SHR and age-matched control Wistar-Kyoto rats.Myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity was measured in brain tissues as an index of neutrophil accumulation and the carbonyl protein content was analyzed by spectrophotometry to evaluate the protein oxidation.RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to examine the expressions of inflammatory mediators(IL-1β,TNFα,ICAM-1,and iNOS)and nuclear factor PPARs(PPARα,PPARβ/δ,and PPARγ),respectively.Results(1)Systolic blood pressure of SHR was significantly higher than that of Wistar-Kyoto rats,(205.4±9.4)mm Hg versus(130.4±7.9)mm Hg(t=14.96,P＜0.01).(2)MPO activity of cortex,striatum,and cerebellum were markedly higher in SHR than in Wistar-Kyoto rats.Carbonyl protein levels of cortex,striatum,and cerebellum in Wistar-Kyoto rats and SHR were(3.27±0.43)nmol/mg versus(11.87±1.11)nmol/mg,(4.02±1.04)nmol/mg versus(14.06±1.36)nmol/mg,(5.94±0.71)nmol/mg versus(14.95±1.82)nmol/mg,indicating significantly higher levels of protein oxidation in SHR than Wistar-Kyoto rats(t=17.70,14.36,11.30,P＜0.05).Consistently,the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators(IL-1β,TNFα,ICAM-1,and iNOS)was upregulated when compared with Wistar-Kyoto rats.The difference between SHR and control Wistar-Kyoto rats was statistically significant except the mRNA expression of IL-1β in striatum,cerebellum and TNFα in cerebellum of SHR.All the above experimental data indicated the occurrence of inflammatory status in the brain tissue of hypertension.(3)mRNA and protein levels of brain PPAR isoforms(PPARα,PPARβ/δ,and PPARγ)of SHR increased significantly when compared with Wistar-Kyoto rats.Specifically.protein levels of PPARα in cortex.striatum,and cerebellum of SHR increased by 644.78%,791.95%,and 42.85%;PPARβ/δ increased by 106.72%,94.12%,and 161.44%;PPARγ was up-regulated by 2700.16%,790.81%,and 875.00%compared with that of Wistar-Kyoto rats,respectively.Conclusions The brain(cortex,striatum,and cerebellum)from SHR shows marked inflammatory status and increased expression of all PPAR isoforms.Increases in PPARs expression may play a compensatory role in the inflammatory response of the brain in SHR.

Objective To explore the clinical features of renal and urinary lesions in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).Methods Clinical manifestation,laboratory profiles,iconography images,pathologic findings,treatment and prognosis of 6 IgG4-RD patients with renal and urinary system involvement from Peking Union Medical College Hospital during Aug 2010 to Dec 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Six patients had renal and/or urinary lesions among IgG4-RD cases diagnosed in our hospital,including 4 males and 2 women,with median age of 59 years (36 to 72 years) and median disease course of 10.5 months.All the patients presented multiple organ involvement simultaneously.Urinary system lesion varied,including renal dysfunction,abdominal pain and edema.Hyperglobulinemia,elevated serum IgG (median 23.3 g/L) and IgG4 (median 4227.0 mg/L),tubular proteinuria were found in all the 6 patients,and elevated Scr (median 237 μmol/L) in 5 cases.Kidney CT image often showed renal swelling,hydronephrosis,multiple low density focus with attenuation and kidney atrophy.Renal pathology revealed interstitial inflammatory cells infiltration comprising predominantly plasma cells and lymphocytes,with a high prevalence of IgG4-positive cells often admixed with fibrosis,which fit the features of tubulointerstitial nephritis.Patients with IgG4-RD nephropathy presented good response to glucocorticoids.After therapy,the symptoms were improved and serum IgG,IgG4 and Scr decreased.Conclusions Renal and urinary lesions of IgG4-RD are heterogeneous in clinical manifestation,and are often complicated with various organ lesions.The feature of renal histopathology is tubulointerstitial nephritis infiltrated by plasma cells and lymphocytes with positive IgG4.Glucocorticoids treatment is effective for this disease.

Objective To analyse risk factors for bile leakage after liver resection.Methods Between January 2011 and December 2012,469 patients underwent elective hepatectomy.We prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed demographic data,pathological variables,and perioperative variables.Univariate analysis screened the related factors of bile leakage after liver resection.Multivariate analysis identified the independent risk factors of postoperative bile leakage.Results 469 patients were included in the analysis.The prevalence of bile leakage was 22.6％ (n =106).Univariate analysis identified the following risk factors as male gender,portal hypertension,steatosis,cirrhosis,ChildPugh grade,ascites,operative time,intraoperative transfusion,intraoperative blood loss,portal triad clamping,microwave solidification,lymphadenectomy,number of tumor,tumor margin,tumor capsular,diameter of tumor,portal vein invasion or portal branch thrombosis,number of abdominal drains.Multivariate analysis identified 4 independent risk factors for postoperative bile leakage:Cirrhosis [OR =13.2 (2.3,76.9),P =0.004],steatosis [OR =73.1 (17.7,301.5),P ＜ 0.001],infusion volume of the surgery day [OR=1.0 (1.0,1.0),P=0.019] and diameter of tumor [OR=1.2 (1.1,1.3),P=0.003].Conclusions Cirrhosis,steatosis,transfusion volume of the surgery day,and tumor size were risk factors for bile leakage after major liver resection.

Objective To explore the real ear to coupler difference (RECD) changes in children with hearing aids .Methods 132 severe to profound hearing impaired children who came to hearing center for hearing aids exami-nation and adjustment were recruited into the study .They were put into 6 groups according to the test age ,<1 yr group(15 cases) ,1 yrs group(26 cases) ,2 yrs group(36 cases) ,3 yrs group(29 cases) and 4 yrs group(26 cases) . And all of them had the RECD tests for both ears with custom earmolds .Results The average RECDs for both ears decreased with the age increased .There were statistically differences for the same lateral ears when age differences surpass 2 years except for the difference for left ears between the children in the <1 yr group and 2 yrs group .This study showed there were statistically differences between left and right ears for majority of groups (except for 2 yrs group) .Conclusion RECD is an important factor for individual adjustment .The current results show that the chil-dren with hearing aids should have RECD tests for both ears at least once per two years .

Objective To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the mammography and ultrasound examination for breast cancer diagnosis.Methods Totally 84 breast cancer patients enrolled in our study.All of the patients underwent mammography before surgery,and 69 of them received both mammography and ultrasound examination.The data were studied retrospectively.Results 84 foci were found totally on mammography and were all diagnosed above ACR BIRAD grade 4 by X-ray.Two of the 13 cases smaller than 2 cm in diameter were diagnosed as grade 3 by ultrasound.Eleven cases with microcalcification were diagnosed as grade 2（1case）and 3（1case）by ultrasound.Only 1 of the 6 cases shown as distortion was diagnosed as 5 by ultrasound.Conclusion X-ray has the superiority to ultrasound for distortion and microcalcification.For the mass smaller than 2 cm in diameter,both of X-ray and ultrasound may underestimate.

Objective To explore the reasons and the best treatment options of facial mass complicated after exogenous growth factor injections.Methods 17 cases of postoperative complications caused by exogenous growth factor injections were retrospectively analyzed.15 patients with chin masses received mass resection and repairment with submental fat and fascial flap.Facial masses of the other 2 patients were located in cheek.Simple cheek mass resection was usually useful.All the patients had scar treatment.The postoperative satisfactory survey was investigated after 6 months.Results The incisions of 17 patients were healed well.An analysis through color Doppler ultrasound examination showed no residual or recurrent mass within half a year follow-up.One of the 17 patients had facial asymmetry and needed further treatment.Others were satisfied with the facial appearance of treatment.Conclusions The masses resulted from injection of exogenous growth factor should be cut off timely and reasonable reconstruction through fat and fascial flap and scar treatment are helpful to restore the original appearance of patients.

Objective To explore the experience of emergency operation for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in neonates and to assess the therapeutic effect.Methods The clinical data of 31 PDA neonates(15 male,16 female) treated in our department from July 2012 to February 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.Of these cases,28 were preterm infants and 3 were full term infants.Mean gestational age was 30+4 weeks ranging from 26+2 to 39 +3 weeks.Mean birth weight and weight at operation was(1 159.0 ± 729.2) g and (1 522.0 ± 644.5) g,respectively.We operated with left transaxillary straight incision in 6 cases and posterolateral minimal incision in 25 cases,and the pleural cavity was entered via the 4th intercostal space.All the neonates were divided into ＜ 1 500 g group(n =24) and ＞ 1 500 g group(n =7) by weight,the clinical prognosis were analysized.Results All 31 operations were finished successfully.No deaths occurred as a result of surgery.Average time of operation was (62.7 ± 29.9) min.Mean time of mchanical ventilation after the operation among survivors was (5.5 ± 4.7) d.The time of mechanical ventilation between ＜ 1 500 g group and ＞ 1 500 g group were (7.2 ± 2.3) d and (4.9 ± 2.4) d respectively,and there was significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0.001).The time of hospital stay were (45.3 ± 11.0) d and (20.4 ± 14.5) d respectively between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Twenty-eight cases recovered and released from the hospital successfully.Two cases quited the treatment themselves and 1 succumbed to death because of heart failure,hyperkalemia and arrhythmia.ConclusionEmergency surgical closure is a safe and effective method for the treatment of neonatal large PDA,especially with congestive heart failure,a variety of complications,long time ventilator dependence,medical treatment failure,which should be ligatured timely as it can have severe influence on the cardiopulmonary function.After ligation the abnormal shunt will disappear and the cardiopulmonary function will be better.It is helpful to extubate ventilators and improve the survival rates.
