Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI and ultrasound imagingr in the breast intraductal papilloma.Methods: 29 patients with multiple or isolated breast intraductal papilloma were selected, who were pathologically confirmed. All patients underwent preoperative breast X-ray, ultrasound, dedicated breast MRI plain and dynamic enhanced MRI. According to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), we observed the lesion size, shape, location, margin, polymorphism and its relationship with the catheter by the ultrasound and MRI scan, and analyze enhancement pattern of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI lesion. Results: In 29 cases of patients with 30 lesions, a total of 28 lesions were detected by MRI, including one patient with bilateral lesions which were positive, and two cases of malignant tumor which were difficult to identify. 25 lesions were detected by ultrasound, in which 4 cases were negative. There were statistical differences in BI-RADS classification of lesions detected by ultrasound and MRI(Z=-2.377,P<0.05). The detection rate of malignant intraductal papilloma lesion by MRI was higher than ultrasound.Conclusion: MRI and ultrasound imaging can be used for diagnosis of intraductal papilloma, but the MRI is superior to ultrasound scanner in lesion detection rate and accuracy, especially in the intraductal papilloma of benign and malignant.

Objective To measure the maximum movement of the hyoid bone and ventriculus laryngis during normal swallowing. Methods Forty volunteers were selected as subjects, and an X?ray simulator was used to collect the videos of normal swallowing. Video analysis software was used to capture continuous and quick screenshots of these videos, and the maximum movement of the hyoid bone and ventriculus laryngis was measured. The difference in movement was analyzed by one?way analysis of variance. Results The mean time for swallowing in 40 volunteers was 1.13±0.28 s. During the process of swallowing, the hyoid bone and ventriculus laryngis moved upward first, then outward, and finally returned to the resting position. The maximum movement of the hyoid bone forward and backward was 0.90±0.30 cm;the maximum vertical movement of the hyoid bone was 0.93±0.36 cm. The maximum movement of the ventriculus laryngis forward and backward was 0.69± 0. 25 cm;the maximum vertical movement of the ventriculus laryngis was 1.04±0.45 cm. Further studies showed the effect of age on the time for swallowing (P=0.03), with similar results for the male and female ( P=0.13) . Sex and age had no effects on movement of the hyoid bone and ventriculus laryngis (P=0.28?0.81 and 0.20?0.88). Conclusions During normal swallowing, the hyoid bone and the ventriculus laryngis move first upward and then forward. These movements should be considered during the development of radiotherapy plan for head and neck cancer.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of tube potential of 80 kV combined with personalized contrast agent protocol in carotid artery CT angiography (CTA).Methods:A total of 136 consecutive patients undergoing neck CTA were prospectively enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into Groups A, B, C and D. Tube potential of 100 kV and 15 s contrast agent injection protocol was used for Group A (53 cases) as conventional group, while tube voltage of 80 kV and 10 s contrast agent injection protocol was used for Groups B, C and D as experimental groups, with the contrast agent dosages of 20, 25 and 30 ml used according to the body weights of ≤50 kg(Group B, 20 cases), 50-70 kg (Group C, 38 cases), and 70-90 kg (Group D, 25 cases), respectively. The subjective and objective evaluation results of image quality and the effective doses were compared among the four groups.Results:The effective doses in Groups B, C and D were 1.54±0.91, 1.89±1.08 and 2.14±1.27 mSv, respectively, significantly lower than that in Group A [(5.66±0.56) mSv] ( F=169.34, P<0.05). The image quality of four groups met the requirements of clinical diagnosis. No significant differences were found in subjective evaluation and diagnostic efficacy of the four groups ( P>0.05). The CT number of carotid artery, signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of the neck region were significantly lower in Groups B, C and D compared with Group A ( F=14.9, 12.94, 14.43, P<0.05). The CT numbers of target carotid vessel were all higher than 250 HU. Conclusions:The scanning protocol of low tube potential (80 kV) combined with 10 s contrast agent injection protocol could not only reduce the doses of radiation and contrast agent, but also preserve the diagnosis effect. Thus, this scanning protocol was feasible and valuable in clinical application.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes and radiological results of arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft transplant to treat shoulder recurrent instability. Methods: Data of 27 patients diagnosed as shoulder recurrent instability with the bone defect of 10%-15% from July 2016 to August 2018 who were treated by arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft transplant were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 males and 7 females with an average age of 30.8 years old (range, 19-50). The bone loss of the glenoid was 10%-15%. The time between the first dislocation and the surgery was 24.1±15.8 months. The patients were treated with arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft transplant. Postoperatively the affected shoulder was immobilized by the abduction brace for 6 weeks, after that the passive motion was applied. Strengthening exercise began at 10-12 weeks and sports was allowed after 6 months. Constant-Murley score and the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score were used to evaluate the shoulder function, and visual analogue score (VAS) score was used to evaluate the degree of pain. Computed tomography scans were obtained one week post-operation and at the latest follow-up, from which the length, width, height and volume of the bone graft were measured and the absorption rate of the bone graft was calculated. The subjective satisfaction degree of patients at the latest follow-up was also recorded. Results: All 27 patients were followed up for 19.8 months (range, 13-39 months). No infection or neurovascular injury was identified. At the latest follow-up, the Constant-Murley score was 85.15±5.62 (range, 76-94), the DASH score 13.39±5.51 (range, 3.19-21.95) and the VAS score 1.29±0.45 (range, 1-2), thus all of those were improved significantly compared to those of pre-operation. At the latest follow-up, the anterior flexion was 153°±24°, lateral rotation by side 38°±21°, internal rotation 70°±21°, and abduction was 139°±18°. At the latest follow-up, the absorption rate of the bone graft was 46.1%±20.6% (range, 24.0%-71.7%). Among all the 27 patients, 19 patients considered the outcome as very good, and 6 patients considered as good, 2 patients fair. Conclusion Arthroscopic autologous scapular spine bone graft transplant could successfully treat shoulder recurrent instability with glenoid bone loss at 10%-15%. This technique could achieve satisfactory clinical results, improve glenohumeral stability, decrease the re-dislocation rate.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of rotator cuff repair combined with transposition of the long head of the biceps tendon in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears with or without subscapularis injury.Methods:A total of 73 patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair combined with transposition of the long head of the biceps tendon in the Department of Upper Arm, Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital from January 2019 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 35 males and 38 females, aged 58.8±7.6 years (range, 46-73 years). There were 11 cases on the left side and 62 cases on the right side. Causes of injuries: 6 cases of car accidents, 13 cases of fall injuries, 54 cases of no obvious cause of injury. The patients were divided into subscapularis injury group (37 cases) and no subscapularis injury group (36 cases) according to the subscapularis injury or not. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant - Murley score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score and range of motion were used to evaluate shoulder pain and functional improvement. MRI of the shoulder was taken at the final follow-up and the rotator cuff was assessed for retear using Sugaya grading.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. The VAS score at 1 year postoperatively in the group without subscapularis injury was 0.58±0.87, which was less than 1.16±1.14 in the group with subscapularis injury ( t=-2.426, P=0.018). The Constant-Murley score and UCLA score at 1 year postoperatively in the group without subscapularis injury were 94.03±6.19 and 32.94±2.59, respectively, which were greater than those of the group with subscapularis injury, which were 86.51±11.96 and 30.38±3.33, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Anterior flexion and body external rotation at 1 year postoperatively in the group without subscapularis injury were 137.22°±26.79° and 54.72°±13.20°, which were greater than those in the group with subscapularis injury of 121.08°±22.83° and 38.65°±17.19°, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the difference between the two groups in body internal rotation was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The subacromial spacing at 1 year postoperatively was 9.4±1.3 mm in the group without subscapularis injury and 9.0±1.5 mm in the group with subscapularis injury, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=1.318, P=0.192). There were 2 cases of rotator cuff retear 1 year after surgery without subscapular muscle injury and 5 cases of subscapular muscle injury. Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair combined with transposition of the tendon of the long head of the biceps tendon in the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears with or without subscapularis muscle injury is satisfactory, and the improvement of pain and function is more obvious in patients without subscapularis muscle injury.

As a severe clinical manifestation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease， nonalcoholic steatohepatitis （NASH） is characterized by lipid deposition and inflammatory damage in the liver. At present， clinical medications for NASH are still in the exploratory phase， and it is urgent to make progress. Recent studies have shown that the pathogenesis of NASH is associated with circadian rhythm disorders in the liver， with the specific manifestation of dysregulated expression of liver clock genes such as BMAL1， which increases hepatic lipogenesis， reduces fatty acid oxidation， and activates pro-inflammatory factors. Therefore， improving circadian rhythm of the liver and regulating the expression of liver clock genes are feasible strategies for the prevention and treatment of NASH. Currently， some medications for NASH via activating the proteins encoded by clock genes have been applied in animal experiments， for example， the REVERB full-agonist SR9009 can inhibit the development of liver inflammation， which confirms the possibility of NASH treatment by targeting the proteins encoded by clock genes. This article summarizes the role of hepatic clock genes in regulating lipid metabolism and the development and progression of inflammation in the liver and elaborates on the recent advances in medications targeting clock genes and the proteins encoded by clock genes， in order to provide new targets for the treatment of NASH.

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics of children with adenovirus pneumonia and provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment timely. Method: This retrospective study included 89 children who were confirmed to have adenovirus pneumonia in hospital from January 2015 to December 2016. All the immunofluorescence test result of the 89 children showed that the exfoliated nasopharyngeal cells from the 89 children were all adenovirus antigen positive. All the severe type children reached the diagnostic criteria of severe pneumonia by the respiratory group in the society of pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association. The children were divided into 2 groups (severe type group and common type group). Different factors such as epidemiologic feature, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination and imaging data were analyzed. Results: Among the 89 pediatric patients, the male to female ratio was 1.5∶1. The ages ranged from 1 month to 14 years. Children under 5 years of age accounted for 96.6%(86/89). The incidence was 37.1%(33/89)in winter and 30.3%(27/89)in spring. The lengths of hospital stay were 3-48 days and the median length of stay was 8.25±4.75 days. All of these 89 cases had fever and cough. The proportion of severe adenovirus pneumonia was high among male, under 2 years of age, those with dyspnea, hepatosplenomegaly, tachycardia, leukocytosis, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), PCT, myocardial enzymes, electrocardiogram abnormality and cluster shadow in chest CT. Differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Special attention should be paid to the male children under the 2 years of age with abnormal related indicators to consider severe adenovirus pneumonia. Early detection and treatment are the key to improve treatment and reduce death.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effect of Xingpi capsules on functional dyspepsia（FD） and the potential mechanism. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male SD neonatal rats（7 days old） were randomly divided into the normal group（n=12） and the modeling group（n=48）， and the FD model was prepared by iodoacetamide gavage in the modeling group. After the model was successfully prepared， the rats in the modeling group were randomly divided into the model group， the low-dose and high-dose groups of Xingpi capsules（0.135， 0.54 g·kg^-1） and the domperidone group（3 mg·kg^-1）， with 12 rats in each group. Rats in the normal and model groups were gavaged with distilled water， and rats in the rest of the groups were gavaged with the corresponding medicinal solution， once a day for 7 d. The general survival condition of the rats was observed， and the water intake and food intake of the rats were measured， the gastric emptying rate and the small intestinal propulsion rate were measured at the end of the treatment， the pathological damage of the rat duodenum was examined by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， and the expressions of colonic tight junction protein（Occludin） and zonula occludens protein-1（ZO-1） were detected by immunofluorescence. The differentially expressed genes in the duodenal tissues of the model group and the normal group， and the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules and the model group were detected by transcriptome sequencing after the final administration， and Gene Ontology（GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） enrichment analyses were carried out. The transcriptomic results were validated by Western blot， immunofluorescence， and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）， and the active ingredients of Xingpi capsules were screened for molecular docking with the key targets. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the general survival condition of rats in the model group was poorer， and the water intake， food intake， gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were all significantly reduced（P<0.05）， inflammatory infiltration was seen in duodenal pathology， and the fluorescence intensities of Occludin and ZO-1 in the colon were significantly reduced（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the general survival condition of rats in the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules improved significantly， and the water intake， food intake， gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were all significantly increased（P<0.05）， the duodenal pathology showed a decrease in inflammatory infiltration， and the fluorescence intensities of colonic Occludin and ZO-1 were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Transcriptomic results showed that Xingpi capsules might exert therapeutic effects by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K）/protein kinase B（Akt） through the key genes such as Slc5a1， Abhd6. The validation results showed that compared with the normal group， the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt proteins， the protein expression level of interleukin（IL）-1β， and the fluorescence intensities of IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly increased in the model group（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the mRNA levels of Slc5a1， Abhd6， Mgam， Atp1a1， Slc7a8， Cdr2， Chrm3， Slc5a9 and other key genes were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt， the protein expression level of IL-1β and the fluorescence intensities of IL-6 and IL-1β in the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the mRNA levels of Slc5a1， Abhd6， Mgam， Atp1a1， Slc7a8， Cdr2， Chrm3 and Slc5a9 were significantly reduced（P<0.05）. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis and molecular docking results showed that E-nerolidol and Z-nerolidol in Xingpi capsules were well bound to ABDH6 protein， and linarionoside A， valerosidatum and senkirkine were well bound to Slc5a1 protein. ConclusionXingpi capsules can effectively improve the general survival and gastrointestinal motility of FD rats， its specific mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to alleviate the low-grade inflammation of duodenum， and E-nerolidol， Z-nerolidol， linarionoside A， valerosidatum and senkirkine may be its key active ingredients.
