PURPOSE: Chronic granulomatous disease(CGD) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by recurrent pyogenic infections of the respiratory tract, skin,and soft tissue. The aim of this study is to describe the radiological findings of CGD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed radiological findings of 11 patients of CGD, which were diagnosed by nitroblue tetrazolium test. We analyzed the pattern of pneumonia on chest radiograph in all infants. Three cases of chest CT and one case of digital subtraction angiography were performed. According to infant's symptom, abdominal ultrasonography(n=8), abdominal CT(n=5), simple bone radiography(n=2), and brain CT(n=I) were performed. RESULTS: Repeated infiltration(100%), mass-like consolidation(73%), hilar or mediastinal lymph node enlargement(64%), scattered nodules(55%), cavity formation(27%), and pleural effusion(27%) were found on the chest radiographs(n=11) and CT(n=3). On the abdominal imagings(n=8), there were hepatosplenomegaly(n=6), calcifications in the liver(n=2) and kidney(n=1), hepatic granuloma(n=1) and renal abscess(n=1). Two patients had osteomyelitis. There were findings of meningitis on brain CT(n=1). CONCLUSION: We believe that the combinations of these radiological findings may suggest the diagnosis of CGD in patients with history of reccurent infection.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of sertraline combined with brain function treatment instrument for depressive episodes.Methods According to sequence of hospitalization,80 patients with depression without severe physical disease randomly divided into sertraline with brain function treatment group (40 cases,group A) and only take sertraline group (40 cases,group B),and two groups were given Sertraline 100 mg/day for 8 weeks.24 Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) and 20 Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS-20) were assessed before and after 1,2,4,6,8 weekend treatment.Results The scores of HAMD-24 and SDS-20 were not significant difference between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05),but there were statistically significant after treatment (P＜0.05).They were significantly decreased after 8 weeks treatment in group A and were decreased slightly in group B with HAMD-24 and SDS-20.Clinical efficiencies of HAMD of the two groups were 87.2 ％,76.3 ％,respectively,and those of SDS were 89.7 ％,78.9 ％,respectively.Clinical efficacy in group A was significantly better than that in group B (P＜0.05).Conclusion Sertraline with brain function treatment instrument can shorten the onset time and improve its effect.

Objective:To observe the feature of Lorenz plots of dual parasystole ,and explore its differential diagnosis significance .Methods :Lorenz plot data of seven patients diagnosed as dual parasystole was retrospectively analyzed . They were compared with those of single source premature beat ,dual premature beat and single source parasystole . Results :All case data were divided into six groups (seven cases in each group) ,its features were :group 1 [ (single source atrial premature beat (APB)] ,plots were characterized with three distribution and sinus rhythm located on 45° line ;group 2 (dual source APB) were five distribution with the same sinus rhythm location ,the points set before and after premature were located on its two sides ,the plot was symmetry ,slopes of line B were within 0~1 in group 1 and 2 and its slopes were no significant difference (P>0.05);group 3 was single source ventricular premature beat (VPB) ,show four distribution pattern ,sinus rhythm was located on 45° line ,the points set before and after prema-ture were almost parallel to X and Y axis ;group 4 ( dual source VPB) were in six distribution with the same sinus rhythm location ,its difference with single source VPB was the points set before and after premature were symme-try;slopes of line B all trends to 0 in group 3 and 4 ,their slope also no significant difference (P>0.05);Group 5 (single source parasystole ) was characterized as four distribution vertical to 45° line ,premature point set was vertical to 45° line ,point set before and after premature were vertical to axis X and Y respectively ;group 6 (dual parasysto-le) were seven distribution vertical to 45° line ,were similar to that of single source parasystole ,the difference was figure of group 6 was dual distribution ;slopes of line B were close to ∞ in group 5 and 6 ,and its difference were no significant (P>0.05) .The line B slopes in group 5 and 6 were significantly higher than those of group 1&2 [ (∞ ) vs .(4.78 ± 0.19)] ,and those of group 1&2 were significantly higher than those of group 3&4 (0.36 ± 0.06) ,P<0.01 all .Conclusion:There are significant difference in Lorenz plot features among single (dual) source atrial/ven-tricular premature beats ,single source parasystole and dual parasystole .Lorenz plot is helpful to differential diagno-sis of parasystole .

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical value of the trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic operation with routine apparatus in treatment of hepatobiliary diseases. Methods From Mar 2010 to Sep 2012, 415 patients with hepatobiliary disease, splenic disease, abdominal cavity disease or combine hysteromyoma were performed by trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic operation with routine apparatus. The clinical data of 415 cases were analyzed respectively.Result All patients except one patients who was added one port for hysterectomy, were performed successfully trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic operation with routine apparatus without conversion to laparotomy or conventional laparoscopic surgery. Conclusions The trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic operation with routine apparatus is safe and effective in treatment of hepatobiliary diseases. Limited by the anatomy position, the trans-umbilical single-port laparoscopic operation with routine apparatus can cure most hepatobiliary diseases. So the operator must have the experience both in single-port laparoscopic operation and traditional laparoscopic operation. With the improvement of rotatable equipment, the practical procedure is expected to be generalized in the future.

Objective To summarize perioperative care and effect of surgical treatment of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in newborns and babies within 6 months.Methods From September 2001 to May 2013,ninetytwo consecutive patients with TAPVC received surgical correction under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with moderate or deep hypothermia.The anatomic subtype included supracardiac type 48,intracardiac type 36,infracardiac type 6 and mixed type 2.There were 36 newboms.Pathological diagnosis was made by echocardiogram,computerized tomography and operative findings during operation.The option of procedure was determined by findings.Respirator assisted breathing after operation and cardiac function was maintained by a variety of positive inotropic drugs,to prevent the happening of the pulmonary hypertension crisis.Results Severely low cardiac output syndrome occurred in 8 patients and they died within 24 hours after operation.The remaining cases postoperative recover smoothly and receive postoperative follow-up about 1 month to 12 years,3 cases of postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis (PPVS) occurred.Conclusion Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection should be surgical treatment as soon as possible with satisfied effect.The key of perioperative care is maintenance of left heart function,negative balance of liquid,prevention and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of maintenance hormonal treatment after response to chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer. Methods8 patients with advanced breast cancer were treated with chemotherapy,maintenance hormonal therapy were given after response to chemotherapy.The efficacy was evaluated every 2 cycles of chemotherapy and 2 months of endocrine therapy according to RECIST standard.Results8 patients received chemotherapy for 2-8 cycles (median 4 cycles). All patients got PR, the duration of chemotherapy was 1-6 months (median 2 months), the time to failure of chemotherapy was 4 months. Until the last follow-up day (31th December 2010), the time to progression was 6-86 months (median 13.5 months).Survival was 6-86 months(median 21.5 months).Seven patients quit the chemotherapy due to severe side effects of hematologic toxicity,fatigue or nausea vomiting.One patient died because of allergy to paclitaxol.Conclusion Maintenance hormonal treatment after patients with metastatic breast cancer response to chemotherapy may prolong the duration of effective therapy and improve the QOL.

Objective Myocardial infarction and subsequent heart failure remain the most dominant health challenges worldwide.Therapeutic angiogenesis has emerged as a potential novel treatment for severe ischemic heart disease and there is increasing evidence that cell transplantation may improve the perfusion and contractility of myocardium in animal models.This study was designed to examine the endothelial growth potential and whether transplantation of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells can improve local blood flow in a mouse ischemic hindlimb model.Methods The mesenchymal stem cells derived from human umbilical cord of passage 5 were differentiated in an endothelial differentiation medium containing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in vitro.Samples were observed for 2 weeks.The human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells were transplanted into a hindlimb ischemia mouse model in vivo.Four weeks later,immunofluence was used to identify the migration and differentiation of the transplanted cells towards endothelial linage.Laser Doppler perfusion image was used to evaluate the local blood flow of the hindlimb.Results Results After incubation with VEGF and bFGF,the human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells started to form interconnected clusters and a network was formed.Four weeks after transplantation,the transplanted cells were sprouting f0rom the local injection and differentiated into endothelial cells,contributed to the recovery of local blood flow obviously as compared with control group.Conclusion Human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into endothelial cells,contribute to the local angiogenesis in a hindlimb ischemia mouse model and represent a new source for therapeutic angiogenesis for clinical applications.
