Objective To study factors associated with necrosis and calcification of cyst echinococcosis. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 191 cases of hepatic cycstic echinococcosis admitted from 2005 to 2008 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University Department of General Surgery, possible relevant factors screened were the patients' gender, age, operation frequency, hepatitis, gall stones, calcium of blood serum, multiple hepatic hydatid cyst, biliary fistulae and hepatic cycstic echinococcosis degeneration. Single-factor analysis and multi-factors analysis were conducted. Results The single-factor independent samples t-test showed that age is significantly related to hepatic cycstic echinococcosis degeneration (t = - 2. 455, P = 0. 008). Single factor Chi-square test showed that factors impacting on hepatic cycstic echinococcosis degeneration were multiple hepatic hydatid cyst and the biliary fistulae (x2 = 6. 848, P = 0. 009; x2 = 7. 149, P = 0. 008). The multiple-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, the multiple hepatic hydatid cyst, and biliary fistulae are the related risk factors(x2 =5. 306,P = 0. 021,OR = 1. 665;x2 = 10. 377,P =0. 001,OR =3. 300;x2 = 4.455,P =0. 035, OR =2. 164) of hepatic cycstic echinococcosis patients with cyst echinococcosis degeneration. Conclusions Age, multiple hepatic hydatid cyst and biliary fistulae are the risk factors associated with degenerative necrosis and calcification of hepatic echinococcosis.

This study determined the levels of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular-1 (sVCAM-1) in patients with different types of Keshan disease (KD), examined the relationship between Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM antibody (CBV-IgM) and sICAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in KD patients, and investigated the role of these adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of KD and their clinical implications. The levels of serum sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and CBV-IgM were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 22 patients with chronic Keshan disease (CKD), 27 with latent Keshan disease (LKD) and 28 healthy controls. The subjects in different groups were adjusted for sex and age. Echocardiography was adopted to determine left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in 22 patients with CKD. The results showed that CKD patients had significantly higher levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 than LKD patients and healthy controls (P<0.01 for all). And there was significant difference in the levels of the 2 adhesion molecules between LKD patients and healthy controls (P<0.05). A negative correlation was found between LVEF and sICAM-1 or sVCAM-1 in CKD patients. The percentage of CBV-specific IgM positive individuals in KD patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls. In CVB-specific IgM positive patients, the levels of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were significantly greater than those in CBV-specific IgM negative counterpart. It was concluded that the increase in the levels of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 suggests the progression of inflammation in KD. sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 can promote the development of myocardial pathology and lead to poor myocardial function. The increased serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in KD patients may be related to CBV infection.

Objective To explore the role and correlation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on pulmonary vascular remodeling of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Ninety male patients who underwent surgery for squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled as our subjects.All patients were divided into COPD group and uon-COPD group based on lung function,and 45 cases in each group.Peripheral lung tissues without tumor infiltrated after lobectomy were taken to assess the degree of arterial inflammation,percentage of wall thickness to vessel diamater (WT％) and percentage of wall area to total vascular area(WA％) were measured through Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE) staining under light microscope.The expression of PPARγand TLR4 were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results The distribution of WA％ and WT％ in COPD group were (43.98 ±6.43)％ and (27.37 ±3.34)％,higher than that of non-COPD group ((26.09 ± 2.82) ％,t =-13.949,P =0.000 ; (15.57 ± 1.75) ％,t =-7.140,P =0.000).The expression of PPAR-γand TLR4 in COPD group were (10.74 ± 8.81) ％,(3 1.41 ± 14.67) ％ respectively,and (28.22 ± 15.08)％,(4.67 ± 4.47)％ in non-COPD group.The differences were statistic significantly(t =5.483,P =0.000; t =-9.555,P =0.000).And there was negative correlation between the expression of PPARγand TLR4 (r =-0.404,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The pulmonary vascular of COPD patients showed the obviously inflammatory cell infiltration,fibrosis and proliferation,and PPAR-γ and TLR4 participate in the regulation of pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Objective To understand the trend and epidemiologic characteristics of malaria prevalence so as to provide the evidence for further control of the disease in Liaoning Province. Methods The data of registered cases of malaria in Liaoning Province from 2008 to 2013 were collected and analyzed with the descriptive epidemiological methods. Results A total of 202 ma-laria cases were reported from 2008 to 2013. There was no epidemic outbreak ,and the average annual incidence was 0.08/100 000. Totally 17 P. v. cases of local infection were reported,and 185 imported malaria cases were reported(P.v. 33 cases,P.f. 113 cases,P.v.&P.f. 13 cases,P.o. 3 cases,and unspecified 23 cases). The ratio of male to female was 5.91:1,the populations aged 31-45 years were the most(47.52%),and the main occupation was exported labors(46.04%). The 179 imported cases were infected in Africa and Southeast Asia,6 imported cases were infected in Anhui Province,Yunnan Province and Hongkong,and 16 local cases were infected in the border area of Dandong City. Conclusions Although the annual incidence of malaria in Liaon-ing Province is lower than 1/10 000,the incidence shows an increasing trend because the exported labors are increased. There-fore,the epidemic monitoring and health education should be strengthened,especially for the exported labors who have returned.

Objective: To study the clinicopathological characteristics，diagnosis，multiple modality therapy and prognosis of accessory breast cancer. Methods: Clinical data of 38 patients with accessory breast cancer seen in our hospital between October 1985 and November 2007. Results: The 38 cases of accessory breast cancer accounted for 0.15% of all 26,078 breast cancer cases during the same period.Six patients of stage Ⅰ and 3 patients of stage Ⅱ underwent breast-conserving local wide excision of the tumor plus axillary lymph node dissection,with the resection margins pathologically negative.The other 9 cases of stage Ⅱ patients were treated with Auchincloss mastectomy.Stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ patients were treated with Auchincloss or Halsted mastectomy.The most common histological type of accessory breast cancer was infiltrating ductal Carcinoma for 18 patients(47.4%)，of which 3 cases were associated with adenoma of the nipple tube.There were 6 cases of carcinoma simplex，6 cases of intraductal Carcinoma，3 cases of adenocarcinoma with focal squamous cancer cells differentiation，3 cases of medullary carcinoma，and 2 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma.The most common pathological stages(according to AJCC staging of breast cancer,2002.6th edition)were stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ in 12 cases(31.6%)，stage Ⅰ in 6 cases，and stage Ⅳ in 8 cases.All patients were followed-up for 1 to 23 years.The median follow-up time was 6 years and 7 months，and the follow-up rate was 100%.Until November 2008，12 patients died of metastasis and the other 26 patients were still alive.The 5-year overall survival rate was 35.3%.significantly lower than that of breast cancer patients(66.8%).The 3-year survival rate was 77.8%.The 5-year disease free survivaI rate was 28.6%and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 63.6%. Conclusion: Accessory breast cancer is rarely seen but is aggressive.The diagnosis mainly depends on clinical characteristics，postoperative pathology and imaging examinations.Early diagnosis is essential.Surgery combined with other adjuvant therapies can improve patient survival.

AIM:To observe and compare clinical effects of coaxial 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification and 3. 2mm small incision phacoemulsification.
●METHODS:A total of 117 eyes of 85 patients with age-related cataract in our hospital were divided randomly into two groups:43 patients (59 eyes) in the coaxial 1. 8 mm microincision cataract surgery group ( C - MlCS ) , 42 patients (58 eyes) in the coaxial 3. 2 mm traditional small incision cataract surgery group (C-SlCS). A total of 117 eyes were received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 7, 30 and 90d. The effective phacoemulsification time and average ultrasound energy were recorded in surgery. Corneal endothelial cell and corneal topography were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 90 d.
●RESULTS:Uncorrected visual acuity ( logMAR) was no overall statistical significance difference between C-MlCS group and C-SlCS group (P>0. 05), but was significant statistical difference in different time-point within both groups(P<0. 05). Uncorrected visual acuity in different time-point had nothing to do with corneal wound size in cataract surgery(P>0. 05). On the 1 day after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0. 16±0. 11 in C-MlCS group and 0. 22±0. 18 in C-SlCS group(P<0. 05). AVE was (7. 00± 2.72)% in C-MlCS group and (6. 16±3. 16)% in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). EPT was (3. 09±1. 61)s in C-MlCS group and (3. 20±1. 92)s in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). At 90 d after surgery, corneal endothelial cell loss percentage was (5. 81±2. 28)% in C-MlCS group and (5. 69±2. 38)% in C-SlCS group (P>0.05), SlA was (0.35±0.11) Din C-MlCS group and (0. 61±0. 13) D in C-SlCS group (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Compared with coaxial 3. 2mm traditional small incision cataract surgery, 1. 8mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery can get earlier visual rehabilitation and significantly reduce SlA. The coaxial 1. 8mm microincision cataract surgery is safe, effective and deserves further clinical applications.
