Objective To explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary intestinal tumors (PIT), to improve the diagnosis and treatment. Methods Retrospectively analysis was made on the clinical data of 72 patients with PITs admitted to our hospital from 1988 to 2002. Results Out of the 72 cases, 20.8% (15/72) had benign tumors, while the remaining 79.2% (57/72) were malignancies. The former were mostly adenoma and liomyoma, each accounting for 40.0% (6/15) of the benign tumors. Adenocarcinoma was the most common type of malignancy (36.8%,21/57), following lymphadenoma (30.0%, 17/57). The main diagnostic methods were X-ray,B-ultrasonic,CT, endoscopy and superior mesenteric arteriography.The misdingnosis rate was 62.5% before operation in this series.Of the 72 cases underwent operation,25 underwent emergent operation (33.3%, 25/72), because acute intestinal obstruction, digestive tract bleeding or perforation,acute appendicitis were diagnosed before the operation.In this series,there was no operative death;the 1,3,5 year survial rates of malignance were 62.5%,47.5%,25.0%,respectively. Conclusions PIT is not easily diagnosed before operation, and the misdiagnosis rate and emergent operation rate are high. Superior mesenteric arteriography,radiologic contrast examination of the small bowel are the important means of diagnosis in jejunum or ileum tumour, and the best way to diagnosis duodenal neoplasms is hypotonic duodenography and endoscopy. Once the diagnosis of PIT is made, the best choice of treatment is operation.

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of cyclosporine and tacrolimus on self-rated health in kidney transplantation patients with or without post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM). METHODS: Outpatients with kidney transplantation were divided into group with PTDM, group without PTDM, cyclosporine group and tacrolimus group according to mainly used immunosuppressant and patients with or without PTDM. Self-rated Health Measurement Scale (SRHMS) was applied for investigation. RESULTS: The level of physical health, psychological health and social health of kidney transplantation patients with PTDM were markedly lower than patients without PTDM (P

Folic acid-O-carboxymethyl chitosan ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (FA-OCMCS-USPIO-NPs) are a novel molecular targeting MR contrast agent. This paper reperts the pharmacokinetics and magnetic resonance response characteristics of FA-OCMCS-USPIO-NPs in normal rats and mice, and discussed its distributing regularity in animals, providing basis for tumor targeting imaging. O-phenanthroline method was used to determine iron content in rats' plasma and mice's organs following high and low doses of nanoparticles injected through tail vein, and the blood concentration-time curve was drawn, the calculated t1/2 of two groups were greater than 7 h. The results of tissue distribution showed that only a small part of nanoparticles were swallowed by the liver and spleen, while none in the heart, lung and kidney. At the same times, the phagocytosis of nanoparticles did not change with the dose. The results of MRI showed that renal excretion occurred 4 hours after injection, and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of liver and kidney returned to normal levels 24 hours after injection. There were no nanoparticles in the lungs. So a part of nanoparticles escaped from phagocytosis of liver and spleen, and it owned lower toxicity and longer half-life. indicated its use for tumor-targeting imaging. All of these indicated its use for tumor-targeting imaging.

0.05).CONCLUSION:The optimized preparation technics for magnetic fluids manifested even distribution in particle size,good stability and strong magnetism.

Objective To research the effect of mir-520c-3p targeted GPC3 to the hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 cell proliferation,migration,and the influence of the attack ability and find new theoretical basis for liver hepatocellular carcinoma clinical treatment.Methods The cells were divided into three groups:not transfection of mir-520c-3p group (cell group),negative control group (Nc group),and transfection of mir-520c-3p group (treat ment group).Then used fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western Blot to detect GPC3mRNA gene and protein expression quantity.Cell proliferation of change was detected by the EDU.Made use of Transwell to detect cell invasion and migration ability of the change.Results Fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that Cell group,NC group and treatment group were 1.13 ± 0.23,1.28 ± 0.15 and 1.05 ± 0.19 (P ＞ 0.05),mir-520-3p could not reduce the GPC3mRNA; but Western Blot detection results showed that GPC3 protein expression level reduce significantly after transfection mir-520c-3p,Cell,NC and treatment group were 2.16 ± 0.08,1.99 ± 0.04 and 0.499 ± 0.05 (P ＜ 0.01).The EDU detection results showed that hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 cell proliferation ability obviously inhibited after transfection mir-520c-3p,Cell group,NC group and treatment group were (90.12 ± 1.93) ％,(91.02 ± 0.35) ％ and (77.73 ± 5.88) ％ (P ＜ 0.05),and Transwell test found that hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7cell invasion abilities were restrained,Cell group,NC group and treatment group were 0.071 ±0.008,0.105 ±0.001 and 0.048 ± 0.002 (P ＜ 0.05),in the same the cells' migration abilities were reduced,Cell group,NC group and treatment group were 0.546 ± 0.010,0.328 ± 0.002 and 0.151 ± 0.002 (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Mir-520c-3p can target GPC3 so that affect hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 cell proliferation,invasion and migration abilities.

OBJECTIVETo determine the physical and magnetic properties of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticle prepared in our laboratory and evaluate its possibility for use as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

METHODSThe SPIO nanoparticle was obtained by means of classical coprecipitation in dextran solution and its size determined by electron microscopy and photon-correlation spectroscopy. The iron content was determined by phenanthroline photometry, and T(2) values as well as relaxivity evaluated with a clinical MR system at 1.5T.

RESULTSDextran-coated magnetite particles with a hydrodynamic diameter of 85.9 nm were prepared. The iron core size was 15 nm and the formation of Fe(3)O(4) crystal in SPIO nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. These particles possessed some characteristics of superparamagnetic and show a smaller spin-spin relaxation, with relaxivity and saturation magnetization of 0.1567 mmol(-1)/ms(-1) and 80 emu/g Fe, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSA stable SPIO nanoparticle with a dextran coating have been developed, and in vitro evaluation of its physical and magnetic properties suggests its potential for use as the contrast agent in MRI.

OBJECTIVETo anatomically reconstruct the oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, and abducent nerve by skull base surgery.

METHODSSeventeen cranial nerves (three oculomotor nerves, eight trochlear nerves and six abducent nerves) were injured and anatomically reconstructed in thirteen skull base operations during a period from 1994 to 2000. Repair techniques included end-to-end neurosuture or fibrin glue adhesion, graft neurosuture or fibrin glue adhesion. The relationships between repair techniques and functional recovery and the related factors were analyzed.

RESULTSFunctional recovery began from 3 to 8 months after surgery. During a follow-up period of 4 months to 6 years, complete recovery of function was observed in 6 trochlear nerves (75%) and 4 abducent nerves (67%), while partial functional recovery was observed in the other cranial nerves including 2 trochlear nerves, 2 abducent nerves, and 3 oculomotor nerves.

CONCLUSIONSComplete or partial functional recovery could be expected after anatomical neurotization of an injured oculomotor, trochlear or abducent nerve. Our study demonstrated that, in terms of functional recovery, trochlear and abducent nerves are more responsive than oculomotor nerves, and that end-to-end reconstruction is more efficient than graft reconstruction. These results encourage us to perform reconstruction for a separated cranial nerve as often as possible during skull base surgery.
