Objective:To explore the characteristics of color Doppler ultrasound images of breast lymphoma, and to improve the coincidence rate of ultrasound diagnosis.Methods:The color Doppler ultrasound images characteristics of 24 lesions in 21 patients with breast lymphoma in Fujian Cancer Hospital from June 2011 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the diagnostic coincidence rate was counted.Results:All the patients were female, 18 cases were unilateral, 3 cases were bilateral. ALL cases were confirmed as primary or secondary breast lymphoma by coarse needle biopsy or surgical pathology. Pathological types included 18 cases (85.7%) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma, 1 case of Burkitt lymphoma or unclassifiable lymphoma with features intermediated between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma. The maximum diameter of the lesions was (5.7±2.1) cm (range 1.4-16.0 cm), and all lesions were solid in ultrasound images; 19 lesions (79.2%) were mass-type and 5 lesions (20.8%) were diffuse. According to the characteristics of internal echo, the lesions were divided into hypoechogenicity (2 lesions, 8.3%), hyperechogenicity packed with hypoechogenicity (12 lesions, 50.0%), and hyperechogenicity interweaved with hypoechogenicity (10 lesions, 41.7%). According to Adler semi-quantitative method, the blood flow of the lesions was 3 lesions (12.5%) in grade Ⅰ, 6 lesions (25.0%) in grade Ⅱ, and 15 lesions (62.5%) in grade Ⅲ. The detection rate of lesions by color Doppler ultrasound was 100.0% (24/24), but the diagnostic coincidence rate was only 41.7% (10/24).Conclusions:Most of the breast lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the lesions can be effectively screened by color Doppler ultrasound, but the diagnostic coincidence rate is low. Most of the breast lymphoma grows in the form of mass with abundant internal blood flow signals. When the ultrasound image of the breast lesion is hyperechoic packed or interweaved with hypoechoic, the possibility of breast lymphoma should be considered.

This study seeks to explore the early signs of cognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). According to polysomnography, twenty patients diagnosed with OSAHS and twenty normal controls underwent event-related potential (ERP) examination including mismatch negativity (MMN) and P300. Compared with normal controls, OSAHS patients showed significantly prolonged latency of MMN and P300 at Cz. After controlling age and body mass index (BMI), MMN latency positively correlated with apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen reduction index, stage N1 sleep and arousal index, while MMN latency negatively correlated with stage N3 sleep and mean blood oxygen saturation; and P300 latency positively related to AHI and oxygen reduction index; no relationships were found among MMN latency, MMN amplitude, P300 latency and P300 amplitude. These results suggest that the brain function of automatic processing and controlled processing aere impaired in OSAHS patients, and these dysfunction are correlated with nocturnal repeatedly hypoxemia and sleep structure disturbance.

Objective To evaluate the effect of bispectral index (BIS) and muscle relaxation monitoring on robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in elderly patients.Methods One hundred elderly patients (aged 65-80 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ) who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy were randomly allocated into BIS and muscle relaxation monitoring group (group AA,n=50) and control group (group AC,n=50).In group AA,propofol was infused to achieve the BIS value of 45-55,and we monitored the muscle relaxation to conduct closed-loop infusion of cisatracurium.In group AC,we regulated the depth of anesthetic with the patients` vital signs according to anesthetists` experience.Mean arterial pressures (MAP),heart rates (HR),airway platform pressure (Pplat),and airway peak pressure (Ppeak) were recorded at following time points: before anesthesia induction (T0),after anesthesia induction (T1),10 min (T2),60 min (T3) after artificial pneumoperitoneum,and the end of operation (T4).We recorded dosage of propofol,cisatracurium,sufentanil,remifentanil,vasoactive agent,extubation time and PACU stay time.Results At T1,T2 and T4,the MAP and HR in group AC were significantly higher than those in group AA (P<0.05);at T3,MAP in group AC were apparently lower than those in group AA (P<0.05).Compared with T0,MAP and HR in group AC were significantly increased at T1,T2 and T4(P<0.05),MAP in group AC were obviously reduced at T3 (P<0.05),MAP and HR in group AC were also fluctuated obviously at different time points.MAP and HR in group AA at each point had no statistically significant difference.Compared with T1,Pplat and Ppeak in the two groups were significantly increased at T2-T4 (P<0.05).Pplat and Ppeak in grpup AC were higher than those in group AA at T2,T3 (P<0.05).Compared with group AC,the dosages of propofol and cisatracurium were less in group AA.The postoperative extubation time and PACU stay time were shorter in group AA.Conclusion BIS and muscle relaxation monitoring in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy can effectively stablize hemodynamics,reduce airway pressure fluctuation and the dosage of anesthetics.It also shortens the extubation time and the PACU stay time and improves the anesthesia recovery quality.

Objective To investigate the alterations of connexin 43 (Cx43) expression and its distribution at different stages of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats after transplantation of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).Methods Wistar rats were ligated on the left anterior descending coronary artery to make MI models.They were injected with allogenic MSCs,which were induced by 5-aza and labelled by DAPI,during the second operation after 7 days of MI.In subgroups,MSCs were detected by fluorescence microscope.Cx43 expression and GJ distribu-tion were examined by immunohistochemistry after 4,8 or 12 weeks respectively.Results MSCs differentiated into cardiac muscle cell-like cells which were capable of pulsing spontaneously,expressing cTnT and forming myofilament in vitro.Transplanted MSCs can survive in MI host and upregulate Cx43 expression and normalize Cx43 distribution at ischemic zones after 4,8 and 12w.No change of Cx43 was seen at infarcted zones.Conclusion MSCs have the plasticity of differentiating into cardiac muscle cell-like cells which can continuously upregulate Cx43 expression and normalize Cx43 distribution at ischemic zones after 4,8 and 12w.

BACKGROUND: Stem cell transplantation in repairing infarct myocardium and in improving cardiac function has been widely accepted. However, whether transplanted cells and host cells formed an effective electricity and mechanical couple, whether a relevant independent electrical system with contractile function formed or whether severe malignant ventricular arrhythmia formed, are still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate electrophysiological abnormaltiy and left ventricular remodeling in rats with myocardial infarction following allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal study was performed at the Experimental Center, Guangxi Medical University from December 2005 to October 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 120 healthy Wistar rats were equally randomized into normal control, sham operation, saline control and cell transplantation groups. Healthy Wister rats aged 1 month were selected to harvest bone marrow.METHODS: At the third passage, rat BMSCs were collected and treated with 5-aza, and differentiated into cerdiomyocytes.BMSCs were labeled with DAPI at 2 hours before transplantation. In the saline control and cell transplantation groups, rat models of myocardial infarction were established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. In the sham operation group, the coronary artery was not ligated, but only braid. At 7 days following ligation, BMSCs in the cell transplantation group at 2×10-1/L were infused into the edge and center of myocardial infarct region by multipoint injection. Rats in the other three groups were subjected to an equal volume of saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electrocardiogram and cardiac electrophysiology were performed. Ultrasonic cardiography was used to detect left ventricular function. Infarct size was determined. DAPl-labeled donor cell migration and distribution was observed with a fluorescence microscope.RESULTS: BMSCs could differentiate into cardiacmuscle cell-like cells which were capable of pulsing spontaneously, expressing cardiactoponin T and forming myofilament in vitro. Compared with the saline control group, PR interval, QRS duration and ventdcular effective refractory period shortened, ventricular fibrillation threshold increased at 4, 8 and 12 weeks (P < 0.05); left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole reduced, and left ventricular ejection fraction and shortening traction was significantly increased (P< 0.05). At 8 and 12 weeks, infarct size was significantly smaller (P < 0.05). At 4 weeks, DAPl-labeled BMSCs could be seen under the fluorescence microscope, and still could he detected at 12 weeks. However, the fluorescence became weak with prolonged time.CONCLUSION: BMSCs have the plasticity of differentiating into cardiac muscle cell-like cells, which can modulate theelectrophysiological abnormality and left ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Avastin on aquaporin4 (AQP4) expression in human retinal Müller cells in vitro under hypoxia, so as to explore the mechanism of Avastin treating retinal edema. The human Müller cells were cultured using the enzymatic digestion method. Müller cells were identified under the transmission electron microscopy and by using immunofluorescence staining. By using semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expression of AQP4 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in Müller cells cultured with 500 μmol/L CoCl(2) for 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h, and with 0, 100, 300, 500 and 700 μmol/L CoCl(2) for 24 h was detected. The expression of AQP4 mRNA in Müller cells cultured with 50 ng/mL exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h, and with 0, 25, 50 and 75 ng/mL VEGF for 24 h was detected. Amplified cDNA products of AQP4 mRNA in Müller cells cultured with 500 μmol/L CoCl(2) and 200 μg/mL Avastin for 24 h were detected. The results showed that more than 95% cells displayed positive immunofluorescence reaction. Characteristic 8-10 nm intracellular filaments could be seen in the cytoplasm under the transmission electron microscopy. In the CoCl(2) experimental groups, the expression of AQP4 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in Müller cells was increased as compared with the control group. Alteration of AQP4 mRNA and VEGF mRNA levels showed a significantly positive correlation (r (2)=0.822, P<0.05). The expression of AQP4 mRNA in Müller cells was increased by VEGF. The expression of AQP4 mRNA was significantly decreased by Avastin as compared with the control group. It is suggested that Avastin can decrease the expression of AQP4 mRNA in human Müller cells under chemical hypoxic conditions partially via VEGF path, which may be one of the mechanisms of Avastin treating retinal edema.

Objective To evaluate the value of DWI in assessing the biological characteristics of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).Methods Eighty-seven IDC lesions confirmed by postoperative pathology were involved in this retrospective study.The ADC values of IDC were compared among different lymph node status,grades,and molecular subtype.The correlations of ADC value and lymph node status,grades,and molecular subtype were evaluated.Results The ADC value of IDC with positive lymph node was lower than that with negative lymph node (P=0.035),and the ADC value of the high grade IDC was lower than those of medium grade IDC and low grade IDC (P=0.021,0.002).There was no significant difference of ADC value between different molecular subtypes.There was low negative correlation of ADC value with grades (r.s =-0.357,P 0.001) and week negative correlation of ADC value lymph node status and nolecular subtype (rs =-0.227,P=0.034;rs-0.093,P＜0.001).Conclusion DWI can provide useful information in evaluating the biological characteristics of IDC.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of secondary Hodgkin's lymphoma of ureter.Methods We retrospectively analyzed one case with retroperitoneal Hodgkin's lymphoma involving right ureter.A 63-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital on January 22th,2013 with right hydronephrosis for 15 days,detected by abdominal color Doppler ultrasound due to constipation and difficult defecation without any urinary symptoms.Urinary CT scan revealed that there were dilation and hydrops of right pelvic and ureter in the middle and upper segment.The distal portion of ureteral wall was thick with a stenosis lumen.There was multiple larged lymph nodes surrounding the abdominal aorta.So,it was clinically diagnosed as right ureteral carcinoma with lymphadenopathy and right hydronephrosis.The patient was then performed ureteroscopic inspection under general anesthesia.There was too narrow to go through smoothly the proximal ureter when the ureteroscope ascended 15 cm.Then,the exploratory surgery of right ureter was subsequently undergone.During operation,periureteral nodular mass and thickened wall were seen in the distal segment of ureter.Then the ureter lesion was partially excised with 1 cm and fast frozen pathology was undergone during operation.The result suggested chronic inflammation of ureteral.A 6Fr double J stent was left in the ureter.Then,the ureter was closed by 3-0 monocryl suture.Results The final pathological diagnosis was retroperitoneal Hodgkin's lymphoma with the lymph node involving the right ureter.After 40 days,the patient manifested high fever,night sweat,general lymphoadenomegalies.So,the clinical stage was classified as stage Ⅱ EB and poor prognosis group.Then,the patient received regular chemotherapy according to the ABVD (pirarubicin 20 mg/m2,bleomycin 10 mg/m2,vinblastine 1.4 mg/m2,dacarbazine 375 mg/m2) regimen over 8 cycles.Finally the symptomatology and diagnostic reassessment (hemato-chemical examinations and PET/CT) showed a clinical complete recovery after the follow-up period of 3 months.The follow-up plan is ongoing.Conclusions Because secondary Hodgkin's lymphoma of ureter is rare with concealed onset feature,lacking of characteristic clinical manifestations,it is relatively difficult to achieve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Therefore,pathology and immunohistochemistry should be assigned to confirm the diagnosis.It is stressed that physicians should be aware of the possibility of malignant lymphoma when unexplained hydronephrosis and thickness of the ureteral wall are found clinically.Generally it has a good prognosis and combination therapy for the treatment is given priority to with chemotherapy.
