Objective To compare the clinical value of fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging (FLAIR),magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) and magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) in diagnosis of early cerebral infarction.Methods 70 cerebral infarction patients were chosen.They underwent FLAIR,DWI and MRA examination.Results 70 patients with early cerebral infarction mostly were multiple lessions accouting for 60％.Supper actue period had 22 cases and acute period had 48 cases.DWI had the highest detection rate of cerebral infarction,particularly in the hyperacute period the detection rate reached 100％,which was significantly higher than the FLAIR and MRA(x2 =12.4,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Especially in the early diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral infarction,DWI is superior to FLAIR and MRA.FLAIR showed better on the cortex and periventricular lesions,MRA can check out the blood vessel lesions in the infarction area.

In the state of the stress,macrophage apoptosis is increased,function of secretion disordered and the ability of antigen-presenting redused,so the defense system is significantly reduced.This is one rea-son of complications including infection,sepsis,systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple or-gan failure.But mild heat stress may promote the immunological function of splenic macrophage.

ObjectiveThe number of positve axillary lymph nodes(ALNs) is one of the most important factors affecting prognosis of patients with breast cancer.The resected lymph nodes number( LNN)can affect the number of positive ALNs.In this study,we aim to evaluate the influence of LNN on the progonosis of breast cancer patients with positive ALNs.Methods449 breast cancer patients with positive ALNs who underwent total mastectomy and axillary dissection were divided into 2 groups:group A (LNN ＜ 10)and group B (LNN ≥ 10).The clinicopathological features of the 2 groups were compared.Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard method were respectively used to make univariate and multivariate survival analysis for disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsThe median follow-up was 43.59 months for group A and 41.34 months for group B.Group A had a significantly higher proportion of patients in pN1,with lymph node metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy than group B.Univariate analysis showed pN stage,LNN,lymph nodes metastasis rate,HER-2,adjuvant chemotherapy regime and adjuvant radiotherapy were factors influencing DFS. Multivariate analysis showed that pN stage,LNN,lymph nodes metastasis rate,adjuvant chemotherapy regime and adjuvant radiotherapy were factors influencing DFS.We performed analysis stratified by adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxan and adjuvant radiotherapy.Stratified analysis showed patients with adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxus and adjuvant radiotherapy showed significantly higher DFS rate than those without taxus in adjuvant chemotherapy regime or without adjuvant radiotherapy in group A.However,the 2 different treatment regime had no difference in DFS rate for patients in group B.ConclusionsThe decrease of LNN may affect the diagnosis and therapeutic selection of breast cancer patients with positive ALNs.LNN is an inexpensive and easily available factor for predicting DFS of breast cancer patientswithpositiveALNs.Adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxus and adjuvant radiotherapy can improve DFS rate of patients with LNN ＜ 10.

Objective To isolate the anti-tumor protein groups from Pinellia ternata rhizome and investigate the anti-tumor activity of these protein groups on Bel-7402 cell. Methods The total raw protein was isolated with sepharose column chromatography. Methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolinm (MTT) was used to analyze the effect of Pinellia ternata Protein on inhibiting growth of tumor cells. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). Results The 30% and 60% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part of total proteins from Pinellia ternata rhizome have no certain relationship between quantity and inhibitory action, but protein peak 3 eluted with 0.05 mol/L or 0.1 mol/L NaCl from 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part showed a effect of concentration depending. FCM analysis showed that the protein of 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part could induce apoptosis. Conclusion The 30% (NH4)2SO4 deposition part of total proteins from Pinellia ternata rhizome could significantly inhibit Bel-7402 growth and induce its apoptosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation in treating chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID).Method Totally 120 CPID patients were randomized into group A, group B and group C, 40 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation, group B was by dry acupuncture treatment, while group C was by Chinese medicinal fumigation alone. After 3 treatment courses, the clinical efficacies were observed, and the relapse rates among the cured cases in 8 months after the whole treatment were compared among the 3 groups.Result The total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 95.0% and 70.0% in group A, versus 82.5% and 45.0% in group B, and 57.5% and 32.5% in group C, and the total effective rate and recovery rate in group A were significantly different from that in group B and group C (P<0.05). The treatment duration for the recovered cases in group A was significantly different from that in group B and C (P<0.05). The relapse rate in the recovered cases in the 8-month follow-up was 10.7% in group A, versus 44.4% in group B and 53.8% in group C, and the relapse rate in group A was markedly lower than that in group B and C (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation is an effective method in treating CPID, and its advantages include content efficacy, short treatment duration, and low relapse rate, etc.

Abstract: Objective　In order to understand the radon exposure level of homes in Chongqing, this survey was carried out on the indoor radon concentration in 38 districts and counties of Chongqing. Methods　According to the population ratio of every 100 000 people, one monitoring site was arranged, and the number of parallel samples was 10% of the distribution sites. The monitoring sites covered 38 districts and counties in Chongqing. A total of 1 019 residential monitoring sites in 38 districts and counties in Chongqing were measured with radon accumulation detectors from July 2020 to June 2021. Results　The five districts/counties in Chongqing having the highest average concentration of residential radon in the year were Xiushan County 78.8 Bq/m3, Qianjiang District 78.0 Bq/m3, Yubei District 73.9 Bq/m3, Youyang County 71.4 Bq/m3 and Shapingba District 69.8 Bq/m3. The five districts/counties with the lowest mean concentration of indoor radon were 37.6 Bq/m3 in Zhongxian County, 36.4 Bq/m3 in Changshou District, 33.7 Bq/m3 in Kaizhou District, 33.2 Bq/m3 in Liangping District and 27.3 Bq/m3 in Wushan County. The concentration levels of radon in four seasons were 46.0 Bq/m3, 53.4 Bq/m3, 45.1 Bq/m3 and 59.5 Bq/m3, respectively. The concentration of radon was higher in Summer and Winter, and lower in Spring and Autumn, and the difference of concentration among four seasons was statistically significant (P<0.001). The radon concentration of newly built buildings after 2017 was relatively high, up to 61.8 Bq /m3, but there was no statistical significance in radon concentration in different building ages (P>0.05). The concentration of radon in rooms of buildings with less than 10 floors was higher, up to 63.2 Bq /m3, and there were significant differences in radon concentration among rooms of different floors (P<0.05). The average annual radon concentration in houses in Chongqing was about (51.6±19.5) Bq/m3, and the average annual effective dose of inhaling radon and its progeny by house-related people was about (1.38±0.52) mSv. Conclusion　The average annual radon concentration level of houses in Chongqing is within the standard limit value recommended by China, but the prevention and control of radon should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative chlorhexidine bath for reducing the incidence of sur-gical site infection(SSI)in patients undergoing spinal surgery.Methods All patients who undergoing spinal surgery (with no implants)in the department of neurosurgery of a hospital between January 2013 and December 2014 were monitored,the selected patients were divided into control group (January-December of 2013,no intervention meas-ures were taken)and trial group(January-December of 2014,1 .8%-2.2% chlorhexidine bath for two nights before operation),incidence of SSI between two groups of patients before and after intervention was compared,interven-tions effect was evaluated.Results A total of 1 043 patients undergoing spinal surgery were enrolled,41 (3.93%) had SSI,incidence of SSI rates in control group and trial group were 6.47% and 2.34% respectively,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001).According to the incidence of SSI in control group,actual infected patients in trial group were 27 less than the anticipated patients with infection.The average hospitalization expense in SSI group and non-SSI group were ￥33 641 .00 and ￥23 072.50 respectively,each patient could save ￥10 568.50 on average.Therefore,through the intervention measures,￥285 349.50 of hospitalization expense could be saved. Except ￥2 100 of trial material cost and ￥12 820 of manual labour cost,￥270 429.50 of social cost was ultimately saved.The mean length of hospital stay in control group and trial group were 10 (8-12)days and 9 (8-12)days respectively,rank test showed that the difference was not statistically significant (Z = - 0.68,P = 0.50 ). Conclusion Chlorhexidine bath intervention can not only reduce SSI rate,but also save the expense of hospitaliza-tion,whether it can shorten the length of hospital stay needs to be further studied.

Objective To discuss the clinical application of individualized strategy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of bile duct stenosis after liver transplantation (LT).Methods Fifty-two patients,including 40 men and 12 women,aged 54.3 ± 9.1 years old,who suffered from bile duct stenosis and accepted 88 times of ERCP from June 2014 to May 2016 in our department were investigated.The procedures,clinical features and biochemical criteria were analyzed retrospectively.Results According to the treating occasions and clinical symptoms,single plastic stent,dilatation combined with single plastic stent,and dilatation combined with multiple plastic stents were chosen to use.ERCP in 8 patients out of 52 patients failed technically,and the therapeutic efficacy was 82.7％.The treatment duration was 8.2 ± 2.9 months.The recurrence rate was 4.7％ (2 cases) during the follow-up period.The most common complications were postERCP pancreatitis (2.3％) and cholangitis (3.4％),which would be cured by conservative treatment in most cases.Conclusion ERCP,as an effective and safe method,could be used as the first choice or bridge treatment for bile duct stricture after LT.We recommend individualization strategy,including step by step mode and different combinations of PTC or endoscopic procedures,in order to improve clinical efficacy of all kinds of stricture.

Twenty adult male rats, weighing 200～300 g were divided into 3 groups: (1) Six. animals were stimulated through two electrodes fixed on the tail to produce somatic pain.(2) Six animals were stimulated by increasing pressure in the stomach through an air balloon to cause visceral pain. And 8 animals served as control.All the animals were sacrificed and their neurohypophysis were fixed in 4％ glutaraldehyde and 1％ OsO_4 successively. Their section were cut with an LKB microtome and observed under H 500 electron microscope.The experimental results summarized as follows:1. The bodies of pituicytes under the pain stimulation were hypertrophied. The rough endoplasmic reticulum, polyribosomes and mitochondria were increased. The Golgi complex was well developed. There were numerous elliptical vesicles appearing in the cytoplasm of pituicytes.2. The number of large lipid masses was increased while the processes of pituicytes engulfed the degenerative neurosecretory terminal into them and the pituicyte digted it finally.3. Neurosecretory granules were decreased but the synaptic small vesicles were increased in the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers after the pain stimulation.4. The continuous network of perivascular space and interstitial space between the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers were widened.
