Desmoplastic small round cell tumor( DSRCT) is a kind of highly uncommon malignant tumor which is reported in very recent years.Since it has been firstly reported by Gerald in 1991,DSRCT has only a-round one hundred reported cases globally, and very limited cases domestically.This report illustrates the first case of DSRCT in our hospital so as to share and to discuss with clinicians.

Objective To investigate the treatment effect of minimally invasive excision in intrahepatic bile duct stones. Methods Ac-cording to different treatment methods, 280 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones were divided into the treatment group (180 cases) and the control group(100 cases). The control group were given open hepatic lobectomy while the treatment group were given minimally invasive treatment of hepatic lobectomy by laparoscopy. Results All patients had successfully completed surgery and the stones were removed. Compared the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,and blood transfusion of the two groups,and there were no statistically significance (P>0. 05). The postoperative hospitalization,time of drainage tube remove, time of analgestic drug use in treatment group were obviously lower than those in control group,which had statistically significance (P<0. 05). The common postoperative complications of the two groups were bile leakage,wound infection,pleural effusion and subphrenic abscess,et al. The complication rate of treatment group was 2. 2%, while it was 10. 1% in the control group, which had significant difference (P<0. 05). All the patients were followed-up for 6 months, and there was no death in patients. Conclusion Intrahepatic bile duct stones in progress could be treated by hepatic resection surgery. Laparoscopic techniques could accelerate the recovery of patients and reduce the complication rate,and it would become a new treatment option.

Heterotrophic nitrification bacteria are able to utilize organic carbon sources to grow and produce hydroxylamine,nitrite and nitrate from nitrogen compounds,and most of them can also denitrify these products to gaseous nitrogen compounds simultaneously.Therefore,more and more attentions are paid to heterotrophic nitrification bacteria for wastewater treatment.This paper reviews the denitrification characteristics of some isolated heterotrophic nitrification bacteria,and analyzes the influence of various conditions to the heterotrophic nitrification bacteria,such as temperature,pH,DO,carbon sources,C/N,and inhibitors,etc.At last,the present situation and potential applications of wastewater treatment by heterotrophic nitrification bacteria are introduced.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of gold buckwheat fermented tea on both acute and chronic inflammation in mice. Ear swelling was induced by xylene. Toe swelling was induced by carrageenan. The acute inflammation model was induced by the increasing of capillary permeability in the abdomen of mice by acetic acid. The chronic inflammation model of granuloma was used in the evaluation of anti-inflammatory function of gold buckwheat fermented tea. The results showed that the gold buckwheat fermented tea can obviously decrease the rate of xylene-induced ear swelling and the degree of carrageenan-induced toe swelling in mice. And the gold buckwheat fermented tea had antagonism effect on acute inflammation caused by acetic acid through the increasing of capillary permeability in abdomen of mice. Furthermore, the gold buckwheat fermented tea had obvious inhibition effects on proliferation of granuloma in chronic inflammation. It was concluded that the gold buckwheat fermented tea had the prevention and treatment effect on both acute and chronic inflammation.

Objective To study the morphology of the persistent foramen of Huschke (PHF)and the weakness of the remains of foramen of Huschke (WRHF)in the external auditory canal (EAC)by high resolution computer tomography (HRCT)in vivo. Methods The thin HRCT images of 525 cases elder than 5 years were retrospectively reviewed by two radiologists,to detect the PHF or WRHF,and to depict the precise location,size and the distance to the tympanic membrane.The incidence,sex differences, and morphologic data of PHF and WRHF were statistical analyzed.Results ①PHFs were found in 146 EACs of 40 males and 77 fe-males with the prevalence of 13.91%,and were found on both sides in 29 cases.Mean maximum axial diameter was 2.35 mm± 1.1 6 mm (0.6-5.8 mm)and sagittal diameter was 2.09 mm±1.2 mm (0.5-6.2 mm).Mean distance between the inner edge of PFH and the sulcus tympanicus was 1.61 mm±2.4 mm (0-10 mm).②WRHFs were found in 233 EACs of 58 males and 122 fe-males with the prevalence of 22.1 9%,and were found on both sides in 53 cases.Mean maximum axial diameter was 2.43 mm± 0.89 mm (0.8-5.4 mm)and sagittal diameter was 2.08 mm±0.73 mm (0.6-4.3 mm).Mean distance between the inner edge of WRPFH and the sulcus tympanicus was 1.55 mm±1.2 mm (0 - 9.9 mm).③The distance to the sulcus tympanicus was within 3 mm in 137 cases (90.73%)of PFHs and 221 cases (94.43%)of WRFHs.Conclusion Both PHF and WRFH are common by the CT morphological study in vivo.The medial part of EAC is predominant and female is predominant.The incidence and the location of PHF and WRFH are no significant difference.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-inflammatory effect of Fukang granules (FK,prepared from traditional Chinese herbs,such as Radix Astragali,Radix Codonopsis,Angelica sinensis,etc.). METHODS:The anti-inflammatory action of FK was studied by carrying out rat paw edema test,mouse auricular swelling test,rat chronic pelvic inflammation test and rabbit salpingitis test.RESULTS:FK could lessen rat paw edema,mouse auricular swelling and rat pelvic inflammation and rabbit salpingitis,reduce blood viscosity and blood reduction viscosity and the coefficients of cell aggregation and thrombosis. CONCLUSION:FK has anti-inflammatory effect and the action of activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis.

T-type calcium channels are expressed in various tis-sues and play key roles in physiology and pathophysiology,inclu-ding neuronal firing,hormone secretion,pain,and cancer,etc. Hence,it is critical to understand the molecular mechanisms un-derlying the regulation of T-type channels.Substantial literature suggests many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)and related second messengers can modulate T-type channel in some extent. Here,this review focuses on the modulation of T-type calcium channels by GPCRs and related second messengers.

Objective To evaluate the compliance effect of secondary prevention on high risk patients of gastric cancer and to investigate their knowledge,attitudes,and practice about gastric cancer.Methods 206 high risk patients of gastric carcinoma cancer were investigated with questionnaires.Results of all cases,54 patients were compliant,69 patients semi-compliant,and 83 patients were not compliant in monitoring cohort.The results showed distribution of the compliant patients was significantly different with their gender,occupation and family income per person,and not significant with their education background.Conclusion The compliance and KAP of the patients on high risk for gastric cancer aren't satisfied,which needed to be enhanced in the future.

International medical community has seen the prevail of outpatient teaching for medical students in recent years. A student-centered and faculty-run teaching clinic was set up based on current outpatient resources in 2008 by Division of General Internal Medicine (DGIM) in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). We concluded that teaching clinic was an effective teaching mode for medical students to improve clinical skills, diagnostic proficiency and health-care professionalism in internal medicine.

Objective To study the CT and MRI features of primary middle ear carcinoma invading jugular foramen.Methods CT and MRI images of 7 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed primary middle ear carcinoma invading jugular foramen were analyzed retrospectively,including high resolution CT (HRCT) scan in 6 cases,CT enhancement scan in 1 case and MR plain and enhancement scan in 7 cases.Results On HRCT,the soft tissue lesions mainly located in tympanum,tympanic sinus,the deep of external auditory canal and jugular foramen,and irregular “moth-eaten” bone destruction could be seen,including the destruction of jugular foramen in 7 cases,eustachian tube in 7 cases,facial nerve canal in 4 cases,carotid artery canal in 4 cases,external auditory canal wall in 3 cases,auditory ossicles in 2 cases,vestibular window and horizontal semicircular canal in 1 case.CT plain scan showed the density of soft tissue mass was uniform in 4 cases with CT value of 30-55 HU,and heterogeneous in 2 cases,in which small pieces high density lesions could be found.CT enhancement scan in 1 case revealed moderate and homogeneous enhancement.On MR plain scan,the soft tissue masses with hazy margins could be seen,and compared to the gray matter of brain,the lesions were isointense or slightly hypointense on T1 WI and isointense or slightly hyperintense on T2 WI.The signal was homogeneous in 5 cases and inhomogeneous in 2 cases with small pieces of hypointensity both on T1WI and T2WI.After enhancement,the lesions were enhanced moderately and homogeneously in 5 cases and inhomogeneously in 2 cases with small pieces of nonenhanced area.MRI also showed the erosion of carotid artery in 4 cases,sigmoid sinus in 1 case.Conclusion The primary middle ear carcinoma can invade the jugular foramen area extensively,which may lead to misdiagnosis.HRCT can precisely depict the bone destruction and the invasion of the important anatomic structures in the primary middle ear carcinoma,and the destruction of eustachian tube can help to reduce misdiagnosis.MRI can more clearly show the extent of tumor and the mass signal and enhancement pattern.
