Objective To evaluate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholangiol drainage(PTCD) for treating obstructive jaundice. Methods 248 cases of PTCD were performed in 224 patients under the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound. 118 PTCD cases were carried out passing through the inferior segmental biliary duet of Left laterallobe (Left drainage mode). Right lobe drainage mode (right drainage mode)was conducted in 130 patients. Left plus right lobe drainage mode in 16 patients. Results The total success rate was 99.59 %(247/248), and the success rate of the firs time PTCD was 92.33 %(229/248). The success rate of left drainage mode was significantly higher than righl lobe drainage (96.61% vs 88.46 %, P ＜0.05). Conclusion The technique of color Doppler ultrasound-guided PTCD is an efficient method in obstructive jaundice therapy, with the advantages of safety, convenience, minimal invasion, and higher success rate.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination gensenoside Rg1 , Rb1 and notogensenoside R1 in Sanqi Jiegu pills and to investigate the stability of saponins in the granulation process. Methods:The separation was performes on a COSMO-SIL 5 C18 MS-II(250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5μm)column with gradient elution using water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 203nm, the column temperature was 30℃, and the injection volume was 10 μl. The content change of triterpene saponins in Sanqi Jiegu pills prepared by the granulation process at different drying temperature was al-so investigated. Results:The linearity of notogenoside R1 , gensenoside Rg1 and gensenoside Rb1 was good within the range of 0. 211 8-2.648 0 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 7),0.566 1-7.076 0 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 7) and 0.317 2-3.964 5μg·ml-1(r=0.999 7) with the average recovery of 98. 2%(RSD=0. 82%,n=6), 98. 1%(RSD=0. 72%,n=6) and 98. 1%(RSD=0. 59%,n=6),respectively. The content of saponins in Saqi Jiegu pills was decreased obviously with the increase of the drying temperature. Conclusion:The meth-od is simple, quick and reliable, and can be applied in the quality control of Sanqi Jiegu pills. It is recommended that the drying tem-perature in the granulation process should be controlled below 60℃.

Objective To investigate the variance of expression of bcl-2 and bax genes in the genesis of gastric carcinoma as well as their relationship. Methods Thirty-five cases of early-stage gastric carcinoma and Twenty-four cases of chronic atrophic gastritis were studied by immunohistochemical method. Results There were no statistical differences of bcl-2 expression levels between gastric carcinoma and atypical hyperplasia or paracancerous intestinalepithelial metaplasia(IEM)(P＞0. 05). There were statistical differences of bcl-2 expression between normal epithelial tissues (or non-cancerous IEM) and the other three groups (P＜0.05),but no statistical difference between the normal epithelial and the non-cancerous IEM group was observed (P＞0. 05). The expressions of bax protein were found in the normal epithelial and the other groups in varying degrees,but there were no statistical differences between either two of the groups (P＞0.05). The bcl-2/bax ratio was higher in early-stage gastric carcinoma,atypical hyperplasia and paracancerous intestinai-metaplasia than in the non-cancerous intestinal-metaplasia (P＜0. 05) and normal epithelial tissues(P＜0. 01). Conclusion The abnormal expression of bcl-2 protein and bax protein ,especially the increased bcl-2/bax ratio, probably play an important role in the course of carcinogenesis of gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effect of Celosia cristata n-butanol extracts on dysfunctional uterine bleed-ing of rats,and explore its mechanism. METHODS:60 pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group, Gongxuening capsule group (positive control,0.07 g/kg) and C. cristata n-butanol extracts high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(4.32,2.16,1.08 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for the blank group,rats in other groups were intragastrically given mife-pristone and misoprostol on 7th of pregnancy for resulting incomplete abortion to induce models of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Then rats in administration groups were intragastrically given relevant medicines,rats in blank group and model group were intra-gastrically given normal saline once every morning and evening,for 7 d. On 8th d of pregnancy,uterine bleeding amount,and thromboxane (TXA2),prostacyclin (PGI2) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) contents in serum were determined. RESULTS:Compared with blank group,uterine bleeding amount in model group was significantly increased(P<0.01),TXA2 content in se-rum was significantly reduced,PGI2 and TNF-α contents were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with model group,uter-ine bleeding amounts in administration groups were significantly reduced,TXA2 content in serum was significantly increased(P<0.01);PGI2 and TNF-α contents in serum in Gongxuening capsule group and C. cristata n-butanol extracts high-dose group and TNF-α content in serum in C. cristata n-butanol extracts medium-dose group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). CONCLU-SIONS:C. cristata n-butanol extracts show obvious improvement effect on incomplete drug abortion-induced dysfunctional uterine bleeding of rats,and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of TXA2/PGI2 dynamic balance and inhibition of TNF-α tran-sient secretion.

Objective To observe the effect of non-invasive ventilator assisted vibration sputum evacuation on the level of cardiac function indicators in patients with acute heart failure in the intensive care unit(ICU).Methods A total of 120 patients with acute heart failure who received treatment in the ICU of Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from September 2020 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method,with 60 patients in each group.A total of 120 patients were treated with conventional symptom therapy and non-invasive ventilation.The control group received routine nursing intervention,while the experimental group received non-invasive ventilator assisted vibration sputum evacuation.Arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2),respiratory rate(RR),heart rate,blood pressure,central venous pressure,serum and ultrasound cardiac function indicators,and prognosis of two groups of patients were recorded after 2 weeks of intervention.Results After the intervention,PaO2,SpO2,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)were significantly increased in both groups,while PaCO2,RR,heart rate,blood pressure,central venous pressure,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin T(cTnT),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)were significantly decreased compared to before the intervention(all P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the experimental group showed significant increases in PaO2,SpO2,blood pressure,central venous pressure,and LVEF after intervention[PaO2(mmHg,1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa):68.24±5.81 vs.59.63±6.86,SpO2:0.95±0.03 vs.0.87±0.04,systolic blood pressure(mmHg):116.05±4.11 vs.104.13±3.95,diastolic blood pressure(mmHg):68.19±4.13 vs.62.85±4.12,central venous pressure(mmHg):9.42±1.29 vs.8.12±4.12,LVEF:0.49±0.05 vs.0.43±0.04,all P<0.05],while PaCO2,RR,heart rate,NT-proBNP,cTnT,LVESD,and LVEDD were significantly reduced[PaCO2(mmHg):42.12±4.08 vs.52.13±4.61,RR(beats/min):18.85±1.75 vs.21.54±2.51,heart rate(bpm):89.53±8.14 vs.101.11±10.26,NT-proBNP(ng/L):1687.25±589.67 vs.2145.36±751.03,cTnT(ng/L):70.58±5.15 vs.81.45±6.89,LVESD(mm):34.51±3.11 vs.38.89±3.55,LVEDD(mm)46.11±3.22 vs.49.74±3.75,all P<0.05].The mechanical ventilation time,ICU hospitalization time,and pulmonary infection relief time of the experimental group were significantly shortened compared to the control group[mechanical ventilation time(hours):72.14±10.06 vs.78.96±12.97,ICU hospitalization time(days):10.74±2.15 vs.12.88±3.26,pulmonary infection relief time(days):3.58±0.79 vs.5.14±1.12,all P<0.05],and the incidence of pulmonary infection was significantly reduced[1.67%(1/60)vs.11.67%(7/60),P<0.05],However,there was no statistically significant difference in the mortality rate between the experimental group and the control group[10.00%(6/60)vs.21.67%(13/60),P>0.05].Conclusion The non-invasive ventilator assisted vibration sputum evacuation can improve symptoms of hypoxemia and cardiac function,stabilize hemodynamics,shorten the course of acute heart failure in ICU patients,and reduce the incidence of pulmonary infections.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Doppler ultrasonography combined with cytokeratin fragment 19 (Cyfra21-1) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) in cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid micropapillary carcinoma.Methods:102 patients with minimal papillary carcinoma of thyroid confirmed by surgery and pathology admitted to Ultrasound Department, Shanxi Cancer Hospital from Aug. 2020 to Aug. 2023 were selected and treated with thyroidectomy plus central region and at least one cervical lymph node dissection. Among them, There were 24 cases in the LLNM group and 78 cases in the non-LLNM group.Results:There were significant differences in age, shape, nodular and capsule contact area, tumor shape aspect ratio > 1, blood flow, microcalcification, serum Cyfra21-1 and serum sIL-2R levels between the two groups (Cyfra21-1: P<0.001, sIL-2R: P=0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥50 years old ( OR=0.443, 95% CI: 0.217-0.904), microcalcification ( OR=2.787, 95% CI: 1.491-5.208), Cyfra21-1>3.3ng/ml ( OR=3.117, 95% CI: 1.404-6.922) and sIL-2R > 110.45pmol/L ( OR=3.408, 95% CI: 1.473-7.884) were independent risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTMC patients ( P < 0.05). The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve of cervical lymph node metastasis predicted by Doppler ultrasound combined with Cyfra21-1 and sIL-2R was 0.82, and the sensitivity and specificity were 83.67% and 70.56%, respectively. Conclusions:The calcification features of Doppler ultrasound and the elevation of serum Cyfra21-1 and sIL-2R are closely related to cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid micropapillary carcinoma. The combination of Doppler ultrasound with serum Cyfra21-1 and sIL-2R has important reference value in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis.
