Totally 126 patients with malignant breast tumors diagnosed with ultrasound were followed up.The ultrasonic image characters were analyzed and compared with the pathologic outcomes. Ultrasound had a 92.1%(116/126) veracity in the diagnosis of malignant breast tumor,which were characterized by strong echo in the border of the tumors and halo (72.2%, 91/126).There were differences in ultrasonic images of malignant breast tumors with different pathologic types. Ultrasound can determine the character of most breast tumors.

Objective:To explore and evaluate the application of flipped classroom in the integrated curriculum of pathology and pathophysiology overview.Methods:This study included in 172 students from the 8-year program of clinical medicine of Batch 2016 (observation group), and 142 students of Batch 2014 (control group). The observation group adopted traditional classroom teaching combined with flipped classroom teaching, and the control group used only traditional classroom teaching. In the observation group, the teaching contents were redesigned in the form of flipped classroom. The relevant knowledge points were provided before class. Group discussions and in-class presentations were used in the teaching. And the cultivation of students' learning autonomy, interaction and innovation were emphasized. The teaching evaluation was obtained from the questionnaire survey and final exam performance of the two groups of students. SPSS 21.0 was used for t test. Results:Students in the observation group had high satisfaction with flipped classroom which was helpful to improve students' independent learning ability, oral expression ability and innovative thinking ability. However, there was no significant difference in the final exam scores between the two groups ( P=0.306). Conclusion:Flipped classroom teaching can improve students' interest in learning and stimulate their independent learning and innovation. However, the teaching effect evaluated only by the final performance can't reflect the superiority of flipped classroom, which should be assessed by more evaluation indexes.

AIM: To evaluate the ability of spectral domain optic coherence tomography ( SD-OCT ) parameters to detect progressive structural damage in primary open angle glaucoma ( POAG) by contrasting with visual field. ·METHODS: Retrospectively we evaluated 48 subjects (48 eyes ) of POAG, followed up 14 to 62mo. The parameters of SD-OCT and visual field were obtained. The correlation between the change of visual field measurements and OCT measurements were analyzed. Visual field progression was defined as reproducible drop of at least 2dB of mean deviation (MD) from the baseline visit. ROC curve was made to evaluated the ability of OCT parameters in detect progression of POAG. ·RESULTS: The 25 eyes were classified in progression group and 23 eyes were in non-progression group. No significant correlation was seen between OCT parameters and visual field in non-progression group. In progression group, OCT parameters which were significantly correlated with MD reduce were rim volume ( r=-0. 5997, P=0. 0007), C/D vertical ratio (r=-0. 6309, P=0. 0003), RNFL(r= 0. 4201, P= 0. 0260), and GCC(r= 0. 7080,P<0. 01). ROC curves showed the GCC reflected the reduce of MD accurately (P=0. 013). ·CONCLUSION: Part parameters of SD-OCT can reflect the progression of POAG accurately and provided a new method to detect the damage of visual function of POAG.

Objectives To observe the expressions ofα-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) and type III collagen (Col-III) of tubuloin-terstitial ifbrosis(TIF) induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in rat and the intervention effect of supplemental hydrogen sul-ifde (H2S). Methods Ninety-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, sham-operated group, UUO model group, NaHS low-dose group and high-dose group. TIF rat model was established via UUO. After UUO operation, low-dose and high-dose group were intraperitoneally injected twice a day with 1.4μmol/kg and 7.0μmol/kg NaHS, respectively. Sham-operated group and UUO model group were given an equivalent volume of normal saline. Eight rats in each group were killed randomly at 7, 14 and 21 days after UUO operation. The concentration of plasma H2S was detected using deproteinization. Renal tubulointerstitial damage was evaluated with routine Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and Masson staining under microscope. The expressions ofα-SMA, Col-III were measured with immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with sham-operated group, renal tubulointerstitial injury was severer in UUO model group and was alleviated after intervention of NaHS. There was signiifcant difference in tubulointerstitial injury among all groups (P<0.01), but no difference was found between high-dose and low-dose group. Exogenous H2S supplement could down-regu-late the expressions ofα-SMA and Col-III in renal tissues (P<0.05). There was no difference between high-dose and low-dose group in the expressions ofα-SMA and Col-III (P>0.05). Conclusions TIF induced by UUO is associated with decreased level of endogenous H2S. H2S supplementation can ameliorate the development of UUO-associated TIF in part through down-regulating the expressions ofα-SMA and Col-III in renal tissues. However, a dose dependent manner between the two doses of exogenous H2S supplementation was not observed.

Objective To assess the in vitro affinity and apoptosis-inducing effect of 131I-K237 peptide (H-His-Thr-Met-Tyr-Tyr-His-His-Tyr-Gln-His-His-Leu-OH) to LNCaP prostate cancer cell line.Methods The K237 peptide was radiolabeled with 131I by the Iodogen method.The radiolabeling efficiency and radiochemical purity after purification were then characterized by TLC in vitro.LNCaP cells were inoculated in 96-well cell plate and divided into following groups (3 duplicate wells for each group):15 kBq 131I-K237was added in the experimental group,different doses of Na131I (5,10,15 kBq) were added in 3 negative control groups,15 kBq 131I-K237 with different doses of unlabeled K237 (1,2,4,8,16 μ g/μl) were added in 3 blocking groups,and PBS was added in blank control group.The cellular binding ratios were calculated after 48 h.LNCaP cells were inoculated in 24-well cell plate and divided into 3 groups:131I-K237group,which including 3 different dose subgroups (5,10,15 kBq) ; unlabeled K237 group,which including 3 different dose subgroups (1,2,4 μg/μl) ; blank control group with 100 μl PBS.All the cells were cultured for 48 h,then optical microscopy (OM) and fluorescence microscopy (FM) were used to observe the cell morphology ; DNA gel electrophoresis was conducted and flow cytometry (FCM) was used to estimate the apoptotic rate of LNCaP cells.One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD)-t test were used to analyze the data.Results The labeling efficiency of 131I-K237 was (73.7±3.2) ％ and the radiochemical purity was (96.7±0.6) ％ after purification.The binding ratio of experimental group was (95.8±1.5)％,whereas the ratio of negative groups with 5,10,15 kBq Na131I and PBS group was (8.2±0.4) ％,(8.3±0.6) ％,(8.6±0.5) ％ and 0,respectively.The binding ratio of 131I-K237 and LNCaP significantly declined with the increased dose of unlabeled K237 (t=4.71,P＜0.01).The apoptosis of LNCaP cells cultured with 131I-K237 was observed.Typical DNA ladder was found by DNA gel electrophoresis.The apoptotic rates of 5,10,15 kBq131I-K237 groups were (34.1±2.9)％,(37.3±3.4)％ and (41.7±3.6)％,respectively; whereas those of unlabeled K237 groups and blank control group were (10.8±1.0) ％,(12.5±2.1) ％,(13.1±2.4) ％ and (2.9±0.3) ％,respectively.There were significant differences of apoptotic rate among groups (F=76.31,P＜0.05).The difference among 5,10,15 kBq 131I-K237 groups was statistically significant (t=3.09,3.27,4.52,all P＜0.05).Conclusion 131I-K237 can bind to LNCaP cells with highly affinity and has significant apoptosis-inducing efficacy on the prostate cancer cell line.

Objective To explore the clinic value and efficacy of color Doppler ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave/radiorequency thermoablation for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods Fifty-six cases of secondary hyperparathyroidism who came from nephrology department of Beijing Friendship Hospital in the period of September 2012 to September 2013 were treated by color Doppler ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave/radiorequency thermoablation. One hundred and thirty-eight glands underwent this treatment and were evaluated by contrast enhanced ultrasound before, during and after operation. The levels of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured before and at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after treatment. Results The whole 56 cases achieved 1 month follow-up and 34 cases and 12 cases achieved 6 months and 1 year follow-up, respectively. Two special cases had been excluded. The PTH levels of 54 cases were signiifcantly different between after and before treatment [(369.5±183.4) ng/L vs (1321.6±471.4) ng/L, t=10.727, P=0.000]. The PTH levels continued to fall at the ifrst week after treatment, but there was no statistical signiifcance between the ifrst week and the ifrst day after treatment [(324.6±172.8) ng/L vs (369.5±183.4) ng/L], while there was signiifcantly different between the ifrst week after treatment and before treatment [(324.6±172.8) ng/L vs (1321.6±471.4) ng/L, t=9.364, P=0.000]. The PTH levels increased from (324.6±172.8) ng/L to (332.5±164.9) ng/L at 1 week and 1 month after ablation, while there was no signiifcant difference.But there is signiifcantly different between 1 month after treatment and before treatment (t=11.348, P=0.000). The PTH level at 6 months after treatment [(205.2±136.3) ng/L] and 1 year after treatment [(177.1±171.5) ng/L] had signiifcant difference compared with the value before treatment (t=8.737, P=0.000; t=7.655, P=0.017). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave/radiorequency thermoablation can be considered as a feasible and effective nonsurgical alternative treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between high myopia and MMP-2 in aqueous humor (AH), by comparing the protein level of MMP-2 in AH from patients with cataract combined with high myopia and with emmetropia. Design Experimental study. Participants 30 AH samples of patients with age-related cataract. Methods AH samples were collected from the patients with age-related cataract during phacoemulsification, including 15 AH samples from patients combined with high myopia (experimental group) and 15 AH samples from patients with emmetropia (control group). The expression of pro-MMP-2 and MMP-2 in AH were ana-lyzed by Western blot technique. Main Outcome Measures The gray value of MMP-2 protein band detected by Western blot. Results The level of pro MMP-2 was statistically higher than that of MMP-2 in experimental group (430.4±57.3 versus 294.5±35.2, t=10.400, P= 0.000) and control group (402.8±57.7 versus 280.3±49.7, t=8.400, P=0.000). There was no statistically difference in the level of pro-MMP-2(t=1.320, P=0.200)and MMP-2 (t=0.900,P=0.375) between the two groups. Conclusions No abnormal expression of MMP-2 was detected in AH from patients with high myopia, according to this study based on limited samples. Pro-MMP-2 was the main form of MMP-2 in AH of patients with cataract combined with high myopia or emmetropia, which possessed potential ability of transferring into form of active MMP-2.
