Objective To review the clinical characteristics of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) patients with special pulmonary complications.Methods Medical records of 506 AOSD inpatients,who were admitted in Peking Union Medical Hospital from October 1997 through March 2015,were retrospectively reviewed.The clinical features,biochemical parameters,radiology,pulmonary function tests,ultrasound,treatments and prognosis of AOSD patients with special pulmonary complications were analyzed.Results The incidence of special pulmonary complications in AOSD inpatients was 2.2％ (11/ 506),including 3 cases of interstitial lung disease and 8 cases of pulmonary artery hypertension.All 11 patients had common manifestations of AOSD,including fever (11/11),arthralgia/arthritis (11/11),rash (9/11),lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly (8/11),serositis (10/11),abnormal liver function (9/ 11),neutrophilia (11/11),and hyperferritinemia (11/11).The patients with interstitial lung disease had no or mild symptom,and were diagnosed by HRCT and pulmonary function test.The patients with pulmonary artery hypertension had various symptoms including dyspnea of exertion (8/8),cough (4/8),chest suppression (2/8),and chest pain (2/8).Four patients died from severe infection,including 3 cases of pulmonary artery hypertension and 1 case of interstitial lung disease.Conclusions Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary artery hypertension are life-threatening complications of AOSD patients.Earlier recognition and prompt treatment should be made to improve patient outcomes.

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of loci rs4570625,rs11178997 at promoter region of tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) genes with alcohol dependence and depressive symptom in the alcohol-dependent subjects in north Chinese Han people.Methods Genotype and allele frequencies of the TPH2 rs4570625 and rs1 1178997 polymorphisms were examined in 60 alcohol-dependent subjects (patient group) and 62 normal controls (control group) by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification and DNA sequencing techniques.The alcohol-dependent subjects were evaluated by 24 Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).Association analysis was carried out between the polymorphism and symptom of depression in the alcohol-dependent subjects.Results There were significantly statistical differences in the rs4570625 alleles (G and T) (x2 =5.280,P＜0.05),but no statistically significant differences in the genotypes (G/G,G/T,T/T) (x2 =5.078,P＞0.05) between patient group and control group.Significant statistically difference could be found in the rs4570625 alleles (G and T) between the alcohol-dependent subjects who had depressive symptoms and the subjects who did not have depressive symptoms (P＜0.05),but no significantly statistical differences could be found in the genotypes frequency (P＞0.05).No significant statistically differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of the rs 11178997 were observed between the alcohol-dependent subjects and normal controls and the alcohol-dependent subjects who had depressive symptoms and the subjects who did not have depressive symptoms (all P＞0.05).Conclusion The results suggest that the liability of alcohol dependence and depressive symptoms in alcohol-dependent subjects may be associated with the polymorphisms of TPH2 rs4570625 in north Chinese Han population,and the variant of the T allele may contribute to the morbidity.However,the polymorphisms of TPH2 rs1 1178997 may have no association with the susceptibility of alcohol dependence and the depressive symptoms accompanied with alcohol dependence.

Objective To investigate method of in vitro measurement of adult Chinese scapula glenoid version angle with MSCT postprocessing technique. Methods Fifty dry scapula specimens and 50 wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens of adult Chinese were scanned with Siemens Somatom Sensation 16 scanner. The scapula glenoid version angle was measured with postprocessing technique of thick or thin multiplanner reformation (MPR), and the data were analyzed statistically. Results The scapula glenoid version angle of dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens was (-0.40±4.10)°, (-3.00±4.49)° with thick MPR, and (-0.34±4.21)°, (-2.70±4.54)° measured with thin MPR, respectively. There was significant difference of the scapula glenoid version angles between the dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens (P<0.05), but not between thick or thin MPR measurement(P>0.05). Conclusion Measuring the scapula glenoid version angle with thick MPR of MSCT is simple and fast. The scapula glenoid version angle is markedly variable between the dry scapula specimens and wet anticorrosive shoulder specimens. The retroversion angle of scapula glenoid is about 3°, which should be considered in the design of shoulder prosthesis.

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-single photon emission computed tomography (18F-FDG-SPECT) and helical CT in the detection of the metastasis of postoperative breast cancer.Methods A total of 94 patients with postoperative breast cancer were chosen as research objects.The follow-up duration of post-operation was 2 years.All patients were received by 18F-FDG-SPECT and helical CT during follow-up.Lymph nodes that were suspected to the postoperative metastasis were taken for histological procedure.The diagnostic values of 18F-FDG-SPECT and helical CT to the metastasis of postoperative breast cancer were compared.Results Compared to helical CT,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and positive likelihood ratio of 18F-FDG-SPECT were higher (P ＜ 0.05);however,the negative likelihood ratio of 1s F-FDG-SPECT were lower (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions 18F-FDG-SPECT has more important clinical value in the detection of metastasis of postoperative breast cancer relative to helical CT.

[Objective]To investigate the method of distal fractures of radius and ulna in children treated with minimal invasive technique.[Method] From 2003 to 2005,titanium elastic nail using descending technique was carried out on 15 children.The mean age was 7.4 years,all of them had been followed up from 4 month to 2 years.[Result]One case had cortex perforation,1 case had soft-tissue irritation at nail insertion.All patients were pain-free,without limitations in activities for daily life after treatment.[Conclusion] Using minimal invasive descending technique,tianium elastic nail is appropriate therapy for distal 1/3 fractures of radius and ulna in children.

[Objective]To evaluate the effect of transepicondylar axis of different position on volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.[Method]Fifty-one dry humerus specimens were scanned with 16 slice spiral CT scanner,At top view the three-group humeral head retroversion angle decided by the transepicondylar axis of different position were measured by volume rendering technique,As to two-dimension CT method,the distal reference axis of the humeral head retroversion angle was defined by three sections of different levels,the total six-group data on humeral head retroversion angle were analyzed by Statistics.[Result]The humeral head retroversion angle ranged from 4? to 59.8?,the humeral head retroversion angle of six groups were(25.5?10.2)?,(25.0?10.8)?,(25.7?10.8)?,(27.3?10.3)?,(26.3?10.2)?,(25.8?10.4)? respectively.The Statistics showed that the results have no significant difference among them.The more distal the humerus was,the smaller humeral head retroversion angle defined by a line between the epicondyles on two-dimension CT method was.[Conclusion]The humeral head retroversion angle is markedly variable,the humeral head retroversion angle of shoulder joint prosthetic design should be individual.The transepicondylar axis of different position has no effect on volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.The top view at which lateral epicondyle of the humerus showing mini-triangulum and the anterior surface of the distal humerus articulation with the forearm being shaded is more simple,faster and precise for the volume rendering technique measuring the humeral head retroversion angle with multi slice spiral CT.

Objective To observe the clinical and pathological characteristics of choroidal metastatic carcinoma from lung carcinoma. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with choroidal metastatic carcinoma from lung carcinima were analysed retrospectively. Results All the 6 patients had severe visual impairment, including 3 with severe ophthalmalgia. Flat neoplasm were seen in the posterior pole of the eyes in all the 6 patients and retinal detachment were found in 5 patients. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination had been performed on 1 patient and blocked fluorescence and hyperfluorescence were seen in the lesion with pinpoint fluorescein leakage loop around it. CT examination had been performed on 3 patients and the shadow of flat homogenous tumor was seen. MRI examination had been performed on 1 patient and high signal intensities on T1W and low signal intensities on T2W were found. In all the 6 patients with primary lung carcinoma, 5 were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and 1 with cellule carcinoma through pathological examination, and 5 patients were diagnosed with choroidal metastatic carcinoma from adenocarcinoma and 1 with choroidal metastatic carcinoma from cellule carcinoma through pathological examination. Conclusion Rapid visual acuity decrease, severe ophthalmalgia, flat neoplasm in ocular fundus and secondary retinal detachment are the main clinical characteristics of the choroidal metastatic carcinoma from lung carcinoma. Most histopathological manifestations of the metastatic carcinoma like that of the primary focus, and adenocarninoma is the most common histoclassification.
