Objective To explore the effect and underlying mechanism of Sarcandra glabra Nakai on radiation pneumonnopathy in miniature pigs irradiated with 60Co γ-rays.Methods Totally 60 miniature pigs were randomly divided into blank control group,irradiated group with 15 Gy of 60Co γ-rays,and intervention group administered with Sarcandra glabra Nakai at the dosage of 0.3 g/kg before 15 Gy irradiation.At 4,8,12 and 24 weeks post-irradiation,the respiratory rate and weight were observed,and a portion of the right lung tissue was taken out to conduct HE and Masson staining examination,while the expressions of TGF-β1 and TNF-α as well as the content of hydroxyproline (HP) were detected.Results The respiratory rate,the lung coefficient and the content of HP in the irradiated group showed an increasing trend at 4,8,12 and 24 weeks post-irradiation and significantly higher than those in other two groups (F =21.035,146.014,32.610,P < 0.05).Those indicators were indistinguishable between the control group and intervention group at 4 and 8 weeks post-irradiation (F =0.055,2.456,5.581,P > 0.05),while the indicators of the irradiation group were significantly higher than that of intervention group (F =91.897,93.149,83.487,P <0.05) at 12 and 24 weeks post-irradiation.The pulmonary histopathological results showed that no inflammatory response or fibrosis was found in the control group and intervention TGF-β1 and TNF-α in the intervention group were negatively expressed at 4 and 8 weeks post-irradiation and had low expressions at 12 and 24 weeks post-irradiation which was lower than that of the irradiated group.Conclusions Sarcandrae has protective effect against radiation-induced lung injury in miniature pigs probably by inhibiting the expressions of TNF-α and HP.

Purpose To explore ultrasonic characteristics of complex fibroadenoma (CF) of breast and its differential diagnosis from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).Materials and Methods Sixty-one patients with CF and 81 patients with IDC from January 2010 to February 2016 in the Affiliated Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were enrolled,and the CF and IDC were confirmed by pathology after operation.The preoperative sonographic findings of CF and IDC were retrospectively analyzed and compared.Results Fifty-nine cases with CF were detected by ultrasonography in 61 cases.Ultrasonic findings of 59 cases of CF showed as follows:79.7% (47/59) of the CF cases with an aspect ratio <0.7;79.7% (47/59) with blood flow signal of 0 to 1 level;72.9% (43/59) with liquid dark area,including 67.8% (40/59) with round or oval cystic fluid area showing local sievelike or diffused distribution;72.9% (43/59) with irregular shape;61.0% (36/59) with obscure boundary;61.0% (36/59) with the largest diameter of tumor <2 cm;59.3% (35/59) with calcifications,including 33.9% (20/59) with coarse calcification,25.4% (15/59) with microcalcification and 85.7% (30/35) with distribution of calcified lesions along the linear high echo zone;54.2% (32/59) with echo heterogenicity showing linear high echo and high echo in the middle and low echo.There were significant differences in the detection rates of internal regular fluid area,internal linear high echo or high echo area,and alcification distribution along the linear high echo between CF and IDC lesions (all P<0.01).Compared with IDC,there were higher rates in CF for detecting lesions of largest diameter of tumor <2 cm,more regular shape,more clear border,poorer blood flow signal (P<0.05),but there were lower rates in CF for detecting axillary lymph node enlargement,lesions with edge or spiculation and hyperechoic halo (P<0.01).Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasonography is of great value in the diagnosis of CF and its differential diagnosis from IDC.

Objective:To study the expression and significance of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in nasal polyps.Method:Expression of TGF-β1 in nasal polyps from 34 patients and middle turbinates from 30 patients with deviation of nasal septum were prospectively studied with immunohistochemistry.Each tissue section was observed under optical microscope.Result:①The TGF-β1 positivity in extracellular matrix and in cells in the stroma was significantly higher in nasal polyps than in middle turbinates (P<0.01).②The distribution and shape of TGF-β1 expressing cells in nasal polyps was similar to that of eosinophil,their positivities were significantly correlative (P<0.05).③The positivity of TGF-β1 did not correlate with clinical type of nasal polyps (P>0.05),eosinophil infiltration correlated significantly with clinical type of nasal polyps(P<0.05).Conclusion:①The TGF-β1 may contribute to some of the pathologic changes observed in nasal polyps,such as thickening of the epithelial basement membrane and stromal fibrosis.②Eosinophils in nasal polyps represent a major source of TGF-β1.③Eosinophils infiltration may play a prominent role in the development and recurrence of nasal polyps.

Objective To investigate ultrasonic findings of pure invasive micropapillary carcinoma (PIMPC) of breast. Methods A total of 18 patients with surgically confirmed PIMPC and 40 patients with surgically confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) treated between January 2010 and August 2015 in Affiliated Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University, who had undergone preoperative ultrasound examination, were included in the study. To compared with the postoperative pathological examination, the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of axillary lymph node metastasis was discussed.Ultrasound findings of PIMPC and pathological results were compared. Results Ultrasound analysis of PIMPC masses identified predominantly hypoechoic lesions and irregular shape 100% (18/18), obscure lesion boundaries 88.9% (16/18), spiculated or angular margins 83.3% (15/18), combined microcalcifications 83.3% (15/18), with posterior acoustic enhancement or normal 88.9% (16/18), dcrab claws changes 77.7% (14/18),witout hyperechoic halo72.2% (13/18) and with 0- Ⅰ grade flow signals 55.6% (10/18). Compared to the IDC, the PIMPC had lower proportions in long speculation, hyperechoic halo, aspect ratio ≥ 0.7, posterior echo attenuation, Ⅱ- Ⅲ grade blood flow signals (P < 0.05), while their lesions in the maximal tumor size,shape, boundary, edge bur, microcalcification has no significance (P>0.05). The rate of lymph node metastasis of PIMPC was 72.2% (13/18), which was significantly higher than that of IDC 45.0% (18/40) (t=3.697,P=0.05). 13 cases were pathologically confirmed lymph nodes metastasis in 18 cases, and among them, the ultrasound indicated abnormal 46.2% (6/13), and showed abnormal cortex and medulla structure 30.8% (4/13), eccentric lymph door 30.8% (4/13), poor blood flow signals 38.5% (5/13). The sensitivity, specificity,positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of PIMPC lymph node metastasis by preoperative ultrasound were respectively 46.2%, 60.0%, 75.0%, 30.0%, 50.0%. Ultrasound performance of PIMPC has a certain relationship with its special pathological characteristics. Sonography findings were compared with pathological results: Microscopically, PIMPC cell arranged as pseudo-papillary or tubuloalveolar structures floating in empty spaces; PIMPC with 0-Ⅰ grade flow signals were seen that the small amount of new blood vessels of the tumor were mainly found in the pellucid zone around the cell clusters under the microscope, while IDC with Ⅱ - Ⅲ grade blood flow signals were found that more regenerated blood vessels were distributed in the collagen fibers. PIMPC witout hyperechoic halo were noticed that under the microscope, there were no fibrous tissue clusters in the edge of the tumor, meanwhile, IDC with hyperechoic halo were discovered that fibrous tissue was seen at the edge of the mass of the lens. Conclusions Ultrasound performance of PIMPC has a close relationship with its special pathological characteristics. To be familiar with ultrasound characteristic of PIMPC is significant for improving its ultrasound detection rate.
