Objective To study the feasibility of endoscopic thyroidectomy with bipolar electrocoagulation. Methods Endoscopic partial thyroidectomy via precordial approach, mainly by using bipolar electrocoagulation and scissors, was accomplished in 21 patients with thyroid tumors with a diameter of 0.7～5.5 cm. Results The operation was accomplished endoscopically in 20 patients, whereas a conversion to open thyroidectomy was conducted in 1 patient. The mean incision length was 22 mm, the operation time was 69?47 min, and the blood loss was 55?41 ml. Postoperative analgesic treatment was required in 2 patients and no serious complications happened. Conclusions Endoscopic thyroidectomy with bipolar electrocoagulation is feasible in the absence of ultrasonic scalpel.

Objective:To investigate the impact of Notch signaling pathway on the migration of human hepatic carcinoma cells and the expression of E-cadherin and COX-2 in these cells.Methods:Cultured hepatic carcinoma cell lines (SMMC-7721,MHCC97H),and normal non tumor liver cell line (HL-7702) in vitro.Transwell cell was used to measure the cell's capacity of invasion and migration.Western blot was used to measure the expression level ofNotch1,E-cadherin,COX-2 protein.DAPT was used to block the Notch signaling pathway,and compared the ability of invasion and migration between hepatic carcinoma cell lines and normal non tumor liver cell line,and the change of expression level of E-cadherin and COX-2 protein in hepatic carcinoma cells.Results:The migration ability of SMMC-7721 cells and MHCC97H cells were higher than HL-7702 cells,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);Compared to HL-7702 cells,the expression level of Notch1 and COX-2 in MHCC97H cells and SMMC-7721 cells significantly increased,the expression level of E-cadherin decreased significantly (P＜0.05);After DAPT treatment,the migration ability of SMMC-7721 cells,MHCC97H cells were weaker than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);After DAPT treatment,the expression of COX-2 and Notch1 in SMMC-7721 and MHCC97H cells decreased significantly,while the expression of E-cadherin significantly increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in the process of liver cancer cell migration and invasion,and its mechanism is related to the expression of E-cadherin and COX-2.

Objective To explore optimized procedures and science decision-making methods for the triage in sanitary train and improve efficiency. Methods The work condition of triage was evaluated with queuing theory and mathematical models. Results The work of triage needs to be further optimized. The M/M/n model of queuing theory can improve efficiency, and then waiting-time that from triage site to specifically sickbed can be shorten consumedly. Conclusion The application and assistance decision on queuing theory in the triage can optimize organization plan and enhance work efficiency.

It's important to find good ways to fix medical equipment in the train when designing and re-constructing a healthy se rvice train for modern war.This article points out some methods for references.

Objective The positron generated at the dose deposition site by using high-energy carbon ions to hit the material annihilate with the negative electron in the material to release the gamma photon.The positron-emitting isotope (PEI) distributions in the target volume are activated significantly by carbon ions.Therefore, the mean values of positron emission tomography (PET) activity could be related to the delivered doses to the clinical target volume from carbon ion.This specialty can be used for the image registration fusion of the carbon ion treatment planning computed tomography (CT) and treatment verification PET-CT.After radiation in the almost same decay period, the relationship between the different target volume and the PET-CT SUV of different every single fraction dose can be found, then the range of SUV for the radiation target could be decided.So this PET-CT standardized uptake value (SUV) range can also provide a reference for the correlation and consistency in planning target dose verification and evaluation for the clinical trial.Methods The head phantom was used as a simulation of the real human body, the 1 cc, 4 cc, and 10 cc cube volume target contouring were done in the TPS, the 90 degree fixed carbon ion beams were delivered in different single fraction effective dose of 2.5 GyE, 5 GyE, and 8 GyE.After the beam delivery, later the PET-CT scanning was performed and parameters of scanning followed the trial regulation.The MIM Maestro software was used for the image processing and fusion to determine the maximum, minimum, average, and total values of SUV in the virtual clinical target volumes for the different single fraction dose.Results The results showed that for the same target volume, the SUV range of target had an approximate linear correlation with effective dose of target (P=0.000).The same effective dose for the different target volumes got the same SUV range (P>0.05).Conclusions For the carbon ion treatment plan, the SUV range from image registration and fusion of planning CT and PET-CT after treatment can be used to make an evaluation for accuracy of the dose distribution.And this method also could be used in the hyper-fraction treatment plan.In the SUV range research of different decay periods, the similar method can be performed for the exploration.
