Objective To explore the pathological basic of some common characteristic of papillary microcarcinoma of thyroid in ultrasound. Methods Totally 117 thyroid papillary microcarcinomas that were completed all thyroid ultrasound examinations before the surgical excisions were collected. Shape, border, internal echogenicity, halo, posterior echogenicity and calciifcation were observed in ultrasound. While the degree of inifltration of the tumor, the tumor’s internal structure as well as calciifcation was observed in pathology. Results IIrregular shape (87.18%, 102/117), unclear border (80.34%, 94/117), hypoechoic (90.60%, 106/117) and microcalciifcations (65.81%, 77/117) were recognized by ultrasound while the main pathological features were invasive growth (93.16%, 109/117), cell components internally (46.15%, 54/117) and calciifcation (56.41%, 66/117). Of the 109 neoplasms which were invasive growth in pathology, 102 (93.58%) nodules presented irregular shape in ultrasound while 91 (77.78%) presented unclear border. All of the 8 neoplasms which were not invasive growth in pathology showed regular shape in ultrasound. Thirteen nodules showed halos in ultrasound, and 8 of them showed visible ifbrous capsule surrounding the mass. Whatever the tumor’s internal structure was, most nodules presented hypoechoic. And the hyperechoic nodules were all found cell components internally. Of the 66 neoplasms which were found calciifcation by microscope, 35 (53.03%) nodules showed calciifcation in ultrasound and 31 (46.97%) did not. And of the 51 neoplasms in which calciifcation were not found by microscope, 42 (82.35%) nodules showed calciifcation in ultrasound and 9 (17.65%%) did not. Conclusions There is no doubt that all the performances of papillary microcarcinoma in ultrasound have bases in pathology. It is helpful to the judgment of a thyroid nodule if we could understand the correlation of performances in ultrasound and pathology.

Objective To explore the effect of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and its receptor on visceral sensitivity and colon motility of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rats. Methods sixty SD rats were divided randomly and equally into control group (without treatment),model group (sensitized in turn with camphor odor as conditional stimulation and physical restraint in combination with rectal distention pressure as non-conditional stimulation),treatment control group (injected physiological saline into lateral ventricles before treatment),treatment group 1 (injected CRF-R1antagonist into lateral ventricles before treatment),treatment group 2 (injected CRF-R2 agonist into lateral ventricles before treatment). Then the rats' visceral sensitivity were assessed by AWR,and colonic electricity activities such as volatility,maximum amplitude of fast wave and slow wave,interdigestive number of contraction wave and index of contraction were recorded. The data was analyzed with SPSS 16. 0 software. Results By the amount of ractal water injection to reach AWR=3 as the evaluation index,model group [(0. 90±0. 11) ml] showed higher visceral sensitivity than that of control group [(1. 23±0. 07) ml,F=82. 586,P<0. 01],and colonic electricity activity increased (P<0. 05),model was successfully set up. There was no significant difference of the amount of ractal water injection between model group [(0. 90±0. 11) ml] and treatment control group [(0. 81±0. 11) ml,F=3. 734,P>0. 05]. Compared with treatment control group,the visceral sensitivity decreased in treatment group 1 [(1. 28±0. 07) ml,F=161. 878,P<0. 01] and treatment group 2 [(1. 22±0.05) ml,F=121. 564,P<0. 01]. There was no significant difference between treatment control group and model group in electricity activities such as volatility,maximum amplitude of fast wave and slow wave,interdigestive number of contraction wave and index of contraction (all P>0. 05). While the electricity activities was weakened in treatment group 1 and 2 compared with the treatment control group (all P<0. 05). Conclusions CRF plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IBS. Inhibition of CRF-R1 or activation of CRF-R2 may lower visceral hypersensitivity and decrease colon motility of rats.
