0bjective To investigate the relationships between the peripheral lung cancer and pulmonary vessels or bronchi by 16-row muhislice computed tomography(MSCT)and analyze the related factors.Methods Fifty-four patients with peripheral lung cancer confirmed pathologically underwent contrast-erdaanced MSC TI Multiplanar reformation(MPR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP)in all patients were used to demonstrate the relationships between the peripheral lung cancer and pulmonary vessels,bronchi.The relationships were categorized five types:Type 1,erupted at the edge of nodule. Type 2,erupted at the center of nodule.Type 3,penetrated through the nodule.Type 4,contacting the nodule but stretched or encased.Type 5,contacting the nodule but smoothly compressed.The pathology type,stage,size,density and location of the peripheral lung cancer were recorded and the relationships with five types were evaluated by using Chi-square test and correlation analysis.Results (1)Tumor-bronchi relationship:type 1(33,61.1%)was more often seen in≥2.0 cm and solid lesions with stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ.while Type 2(14,25.9%)was often seen in<2.0 am and part-solid or non-solid lesions with stage Ⅰ.(2)Tumor-PA relationship:Type 1 was more often seen in≥2.0 am and solid lesions with stage Ⅱ-Ⅳ.while Type 2 was often seen in part-solid or non-solid lesions with stage Ⅰ.(3)Tumor-PV relationship:type 4 was the most common type(29,53.7%).Type 2(13,24.1%)was more often seen in part-solid or non-solid lesions.(4)Tumor-bronchi relationship and tumor-PA relationship had a positive correlation(r=0.5265,P<0.01).Conclusions MSCT can demonstrate the relations between the peripheral lung cancer and bronchi.PA and PV.It is useful for the differential diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of the lung csncer.

Objective To introduce details of a new procedure of sleeve gastrectomy in mice by using titanium clip,and to observe whether this model has the same post-surgical metabolic effects as traditional procedure of sleeve gastrectomy in mice by using running stitch.Methods Thirt-one male FVB-Tg (NPY-hrGFP) mice,6 weeks (29-31 g) were randomly divided into SG (running stitch) group (n =8),SG (titanium clip) group (n =15) and Sham Operation (SO) group (n =8) by using random number table.Titanium clip was applied to close the side incision of stomachin SG (titanium clip) group,while running stitch was used in SG (running stitch) group which was detailed described in current references.Ligaments around stomach were detached without any stomach incision in SO group.Operation duration,mortality,and changes of post-surgical body weight and food intake were observed.Measured data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ((x) ± s).Independent sample t test was used for comparison between the two groups.The variance of the data between the three groups was equal and analysis of variance (least significant LSD method) was used to compare each group.Preoperative and postoperative data were compared using a paired t test.Results Operation duration of SG (running stitch) group and SG (titanium clip) group were (44.60 ± 3.13) min and (28.25 ± 2.77) min,respectively.Compared with SG (running stitch) group,operation duration was significantly reduced in SG (titanium clip) group (P ≤ 0.01).Mortality of SG (running stitch) group and SG (titanium clip) group were 37.5％ and 20％,respectively,which has no significant difference (P =0.621).Compared with SO group,postoperative food intake was significantly reduced in both two SG groups (P ≤ 0.01),but there's no difference between two SG groups (P =0.149).At the end of the 6-week-postoperative,body weights of SG (running stitch) group and SG (titanium clip) group were reduced (17.67 ± 5.06) ％ and (18.76 ± 7.87) ％,respectively,while body weight of SO group increased (7.17 ± 2.31)％.Compared with SO group,postoperative change of body weight was significantly reduced in both two SG groups (P≤ 0.0 1),but there's no difference between two SG groups (P =0.746).Conclusions SG by using titanium clip in mice can reduce food intake and body weight as traditional SG by using running stitch does.But with shorter operation duration,this new model of SG in mice can provide a better and stable surgical model in research of mechanism of SG.

ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） chronic disease management programme in preventing postoperative recurrence of colorectal polyps. MethodsThe clinical data of 447 postoperative colorectal polyp patients were retrospectively collected， and the patients were divided into an exposure group and a control group taking the acceptance of TCM chronic disease management programme as exposure factor， and the polyp recurrence rate as the main outcome indicator， comparing the differences in baseline characteristics， outcome events， and safety assessment between the two groups， and conducting correlation analysis between the length of medication and polyp recurrence. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of receiving the TCM chronic disease management programme （TCM treatment and life management for spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome， dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome， and intestinal dampness and heat syndrome）， gender， age， co-morbidities， TCM syndrome， and dietary and exercise factors on the outcome events. ResultsAmong 257 postoperative patients with colorectal polyps， there were 172 in the exposure group and 85 in control group. The recurrence rate of polyps in exposure group was 22.7% （39/172）， while the recurrence rate in control group was 57.6% （49/85）， and the difference between groups was statistically significant （P＜0.01）. The diameter of recurrent polyps in exposure group （median= 4.0 mm） was smaller than that in control group （median= 5.0 mm， P＜0.01）. The correlation analysis between the duration of medication taking and the recurrence of polyps in the spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome group showed Phi value as -0.345 （P＜0.001）； the correlation analysis within the group of dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome showed Phi value as -0.361 （P＜0.05）， indicating a negative correlation between the duration of medication taking and polyp recurrence. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the positive effect of accepting TCM chronic disease management programme on preventing polyp recurrence is statistically significant （OR=0.224， P＜0.01）. ConclusionAccepting TCM chronic disease management programme for colorectal polyps can help reducing the recurrence rate after polyp surgery， which is a protective factor for patients to the outcome event.

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) is primarily impaired in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), leading to progressive loss of photoreceptors and sometimes choroidal neovascularization (CNV). mTOR has been proposed as a promising therapeutic target, while the usage of its specific inhibitor, rapamycin, was greatly limited. To mediate the mTOR pathway in the retina by a noninvasive approach, we developed novel biomimetic nanocomplexes where rapamycin-loaded nanoparticles were coated with cell membrane derived from macrophages (termed as MRaNPs). Taking advantage of the macrophage-inherited property, intravenous injection of MRaNPs exhibited significantly enhanced accumulation in the CNV lesions, thereby increasing the local concentration of rapamycin. Consequently, MRaNPs effectively downregulated the mTOR pathway and attenuate angiogenesis in the eye. Particularly, MRaNPs also efficiently activated autophagy in the RPE, which was acknowledged to rescue RPE in response to deleterious stimuli. Overall, we design and prepare macrophage-disguised rapamycin nanocarriers and demonstrate the therapeutic advantages of employing biomimetic cell membrane materials for treatment of AMD.
