Objective To assess the role of MRI in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.Methods A retrospective study of 24 patients suspected of testicular neoplasm was conducted.The histological diagnosis of testicular neoplasms was made and local extension of testicular malignancy was evaluated.The MRI findings were correlated with the pathologic results.Results Histological examination revealed 26 intratesticular lesions,14 of which were nalignant,including 4 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma,7 cases of seminoma,2 cases of embryonal carcinoma,one case of teratoma.Twelve lesions were benign,including 5 cases of epidermoid cyst,2 cases of simple cyst,2 cases of inflammatory granuloma,2 cases of testicular mediastinal tubular expansion and one case of testicular pseudo fibroma.Six malignant testicular tumors were confined within the testis,4 invaded the testicular tunicae or epididymis,2 invaded the spermatic cord,and 2 invaded the scrotal wall.The accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of intratesticular lesions was 92％.The accuracy of MRI diagnosis in the local staging of testicular tunors was 86％.Conclusions MRI is highly accurate in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.It is of great significance to the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Persister bacteria have the characteristic of phenotypic resistance to the anfimicrobial drugs.The presence of such persister bacteria is considered to be one of the major causes for lengthy therapy and treatment failure.Persister bacteria are a group of special subpopulation of bacteria,and have the characteristics different from the ordinary bacteria and resistant mutants.With the improvement of scientific research and technology in recent years,we get a better understanding of persister bacteria.This paper reviewed the research progress on the characteristics of persister bacteria,formation mechanism,the impact of the clinical treatment and drug development The paper also provided the basis for diagnosis,prevention and treatment of the persister bacteria.

Objectives To study the effects of anesthesia, head-up position and CO 2 pneumoperitoneum on cardiac autonomic nerve evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods 20 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were anesthetized with balanced anesthesia. Pneumoperitoneum was introduced by inflation of CO 2. Intra-abdominal pressure was maintained at (11～13) mmHg. HRV was measured in supine and head-up tilt (15?～20?) positions while the patients were awake, in the stable state of anesthesia and CO 2 pneumoperitoneum at 10 minute and 20 minute respectively. Power spectral analysis of HRV was conducted on 256-beat R-R interval segments of interpolated heart rate by using the fast Fourier transformation. Total spectral power (TP), low frequency power (LF) and high frequency power (HF) were calculated by integrating the power spectra between (0～0 5) Hz, (0 03～0 15)Hz and ( 0 15～0 35)Hz. Results The change of positions did not significantly influence HRV. Decreases in LF, HF and TP were noted during the maintenance of anesthesia. The power of LF, the normalized unit of LF and LF/HF ratio increased during inflation period. LF/HF increased from 2 15?1 16 to 4 61?2 04 ( q =4 491, P

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of serum CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells for advanced gastric cancer (AGC).Methods Serum levels of CI4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells were measured by flow cytometry and compared in 20 patients with AGC (experimental group) and 20 healthy adults (control group).Also,serum levels of CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells were measured by flow cytometry and compared before and after surgical treatment in the patients of experimental group.Results The serum levels of CD4 + T cells were decreased and CD8 + T cells were increased in patients with AGC.However,the serum levels of CD4 +T cells were increased and CD8 +T cells were decreased after surgical treatment (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The serum levels of CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cell help to assess the immune status of patients with AGC,which contributes to the illness monitoring for AGC.

Objective To study action mechanism of rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata on enhance the immune function. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, positive control group, traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups. All treatment groups received gavage with relevant medicine for 10 days. From the 8th day, blank control group received intraperitoneal injection with normal saline, while other groups received intraperitoneal injection with cyclophosphamide for 3 days. Through macrophages carbon clearance test, macrophage phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes test, and immunosuppressive mice organ index detection, effects of rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata on nonspecific immune function of immunosuppressive mice were observed. Results Compared with model group and blank control group, traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups could improve the phagocytic activity of immunosuppressive mice, clearance index, and phagocytic coefficient (P<0.05), and increase the organ index of the thymus and spleen. Compared with the positive control group, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups was low. Conclusion Rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata can enhance the immune function, improve the formation of spleen cells of mice serum hemolysin of chicken red blood cell immune.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of platelet autoantibodies in children with persistent/chronic immune thrombocytopenia (pITP/cITP).Methods Total of 34 children diagnosed with pITP/cITP(14 cases and 20 cases,respectively)in the Department of Hematology and Oncology,Shanghai Children's Hospital from December 2013 to August 2014 were enrolled as the study group,including 20 male and 14 female,the median age of 5 years old.The study also included 20 healthy children (the healthy control group) matched with gender and age,and 24 cases of newly diagnosed ITP (newly diagnosed ITP group) serving as the control groups.Platelet-associated immunoglobulin (PAIg) and platelet-specific autoantibodies on surface of platelets were mea-sured by flow cytometry or flow cytometric bead.Results Significant elevation of PAIgA,PAIgM,PAIgD and specific autoantibodies against glucoprotein(GP) Ⅲa,and GP Ⅱb were demonstrated in children with cITP,as well as specific autoantibodies against GP Ⅰ b,GP Ⅲ a,GP Ⅱ b,and granule membrane protein 140 (GMP140) in children with pITP,compared with the healthy control group(P ＜ 0.05);the levels of GPⅨ,GP Ⅲ a,GMP140 in cITP group and GP Ⅱ b in pITP showed significant declination,compared with the newly diagnosed ITP group(P ＜ 0.05);between piTP group and cITP group,autoantibodies GPⅨ,GP Ⅰ b,GP Ⅱ b,and GMP140 in the latter were much lower(P ＜ 0.05).Significant negative relation between PAIgM and platelet count was found in cITP group (P ＜ 0.05).Receiver operating characte-ristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of GP Ⅲ a autoantibodies was larger than that of other platelet-autoantibodies in pITP/ciTP diagnosis.Conclusions Platelet autoantibodies play a significant role in pITP/ciTP,especially platelet-specific autoantibodies,which show a declining tendency in the course and may be the main mechanism.The detection of GPⅢa specific autoantibody is more advantageous against other autoantibodies in the diagnosis of piTP/ciTP.

Objective To explore the effect of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) on lung cancer cell line A549. Methods After M-CSF at 0.1, 1 and 10 ng/ml was given to cultured A549 cells for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 92 h respectively, their morphological changes were observed with inverted microscopy, proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and cell cycles were determined by flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to detect the change of expression of M-CSF receptor. Result The growth of A549 was significantly inhibited by M-CSF in a concentration- and time- dependent manner. The maximum response was obtained at 10 ng/ml of M-CSF. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the treated A549 cells arrested at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of M-CSF receptor was reduced after the M-CSF treatment. Conclusion M-CSF has an anti-tumour activity on lung cancer cell A549.
