Objective To analyze the hemodynamic characteristics in patients with iron deficiency anemia(IDA) using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography(TCD),and to discuss the diagnostic value of it.Methods There were 46 patients with IDA,among them 28 patients had moderate or severe anemia,and 18 patients had mild anemia.Hemodynamic changes in patients were observed with TCD,and compared with 40 case healthy controls. Results In addition to 3 case results of TCD were normal,the increase of velocity were found in the others patients.The cerenbral blood flow velocity of the moderate or severe anemia group were significantly higher than that of the mild anemia group(P<0.05),and these were significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).The pulsatility index of the moderate or severe anemia group were significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).2 case artery stenosis in 46 patients were found by TCD,there were 5 case with syncope in 46 patients.Conclusion The severness of anemia can be observed by the increased cerenbral blood flow velocities.TCD may be evaluat Effestiveness of blood flow,and TCD may be possible to raise the discover rate of artery stenosis in anemia.

Objective To explore the clinical new ways to repair the soft tissue defect of upper lip.Methods The soft tissue defect of upper lip caused by various reason were repaired with the buccal region of nasolabial groove flap.The size of flap was designed based on the range of soft tissue defect and located in the buccal region along nasolabial groove.The maximum scale of flaps between the length and width were 2∶1 and slit to the SMAS layer.The soft tissue defect of upper lip was repaired by direct vicinity aversion of the flap.The wound after the flap diversion was direct sut in favour of propulsion of the flap and relief the tension of flap pedicle.Results The flaps completely survived in 15 cases without obviously scar accrementition.The cosmetic result were satisfactory.Conclusion The buccal region of nasolabial groove flap is characterized by simple designation,easy dissection,reliable blood supply with the vascular net of fascia without well-known blood vessel damaged and repaired by direct vicinity aversion.Therefore,it is an ideal new method to repair the soft tissue defect of upper lip.

Objective To detect the expressions of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) as well as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in the lesions of lichen planus.Methods Biopsy specimens were collected from the lesions of 32 patients with lichen planus and normal skin of 12 healthy human controls and subjected to paraffin embedding.Immunohistochemical avidin-biotin complex (ABC) method was used to detect the expressions of NGF,TrkA and p75NTR.Results NGF and TrkA,which were located in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes,were strongly or moderately expressed in the lesional skin specimens,but absent or weakly expressed in the normal skin specimens (both P ＜ 0.01).No significant differences were observed in the expression of p75NTR between the lesional and normal skin specimens,or in the expressions of NGF,TrkA or p75NTR among specimens from patients in different age groups,patients of different gender or lesions at different sites (all P ＞ 0.05).There was a positive correlation between the expression of NGF and TrkA in the lesions of lichen planus (R2 =0.535,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion NGF may play a certain role in the development of lichen planus via its highaffinity receptor TrkA.

A total of 120 patients with Ⅲ/Ⅳ degree hemorrhoids were randomly divided into 3 groups.Self-made drainage(A group),traditional device(B group)and stuffing(C group) were used at the end of operation.The patient postoperative complications and satisfaction were observed and compared.The results showed that postoperative abdominal distension,pain,medical dressing dampness and satisfaction were better in A group than those in B and C groups(all P ＜0.01).Postoperative abdominal distention in B group was lighter than that in C group and medical dressing dampness less in C group than that in B group (all P ＜ 0.01).Thus the self-made drainage device may reduce the levels of postoperative abdominal distension,pain and medical dressing dampness and increase postoperative patient satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the association of promoter hypermethylation of secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRPs) in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods The promoter hypermethylation of SFRPs in 20 sporadic colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent mucosa were detected by methylation-specific PCR. The amplified DNA was subcloned into the T-A cloning vector and sequenced. Two colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116 and SW480) were treated with 5-aza-2' deoxycytidine for demethylation. The promoter hypermethylation and protein expression of SFRPs in colorectal cancer cell lines were detected by methylation-specific PCR and Western blotting. Results It was demonstrated that the hypermethylation of SFRP 1, 2, 4 or 5 was 19/20,17/20,3/20 or 13/20in cancer tissues, respectively, whereas it was 12/20, 8/12, 1/20 or 7/20 in adjacent mucosa,respectively. SFRP 1, 2 or 5 methylation was more frequently found in cancer tissue than in adjacent mucosa (P～0.05). Methylation of SFRP 1, 2, 4 and 5 were found in HCT116 cell line, but only SFRP1 and SFRP2 were found in SW480 cell line. There was a negative correlation between protein expression and methylation of SFRPs. The Western blotting revealed that SFRP protein re-expressedafter it treated with 5-aza-2' deoxyeytidine. Conclusion Methylation of SFRP 1, 2 or 5 gene is associated with the evolution of eolorectal cancer, and is closely related to silencing expression.

Background and purpose:Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with K-ras mutation won’t benefit in the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) treatments. Thus K-ras mutation analysis is mandatory before this treatment. There is controversy that K-ras mutation analysis should be performed on primaries or related metastases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the concordance of K-ras status between primary and related metastases tumors, thus investigate the validity and rigorousness of clinical K-ras testing. Methods:Seventy-six patients with confirmed mCRC treated in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were enrolled. After DNA extraction and PCR amplification, tumor specimens with paired primary tumors and related metastatic sites were put into sequencing analysis. And the K-ras mutation status in exon 2 was assessed. Results: K-ras mutation was detected in 31 out of 76 primary tumours (40.8%) and also 40.8%of the metastatic sites. But discordance was found between primary tumor and metastasis in 15 cases (19.7%):8 primary tumors had a K-ras mutation with a wild-type metastasis, meanwhile 7 primary tumors were wild type with a K-ras-mutated metastasis. Conclusion:Our study indicated that quite a few mCRC cases have different K-ras status between primary tumors and related metastatic sites, and it’s not very rigorous to choose the anti-EGFR treatments merely according to the primary tumor-K-ras mutation.Further study and consultation are needed on this problem.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and prognosis of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)on acute cerebral ischemic stroke,to provide clinical evidence for the treatment of patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke.Methods Total171 patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke were enrolled and measured the NIHSS and mRS,before EECP,after36 hours EECP,and 3-month after attack.Then contrast the difference of these indicators.Result Compare with the control group,after EECP treatment and after 3-month attack,the scores of NIHSS were statistically significant,(after EECP:44.1％ vs 31.5％;after 3-month attack:55.6％ vs 40.5％),(P＜ 0.05).Compare with the control group,after 3-month attack,the score of mRS in EECP group was declined statistically significant,and the rate of favourable prognosis rise obviously (P＜0.05).Conclusion EECP can effectively improve neurological function and promote health and improve prognosis in the patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke.

Objective To evaluate core needle biopsy (CNB) in detecting estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) of HER2,Ki67,and molecular classification of breast cancer.Methods Clinical data of 188 breast cancer patients admitted from Nov 2012 to Jun 2015,were retrospectively analyzed.All patients received both CNB and open excision biopsy (OEB).Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate the expression of ER,PR,HER2 and Ki67.All cases were categorized into four molecular subtypes:Luminal A,Luminal B,triple negative breast canccr and HER2 over-expression breast cancer.Kappa test was used to evaluate the consistency of CNB and OEB.Results Concordance rate of ER,PR,HER2 receptor status and Ki67 value were 94.68％,93.62％,94.68％ and 73.40％.There was no difference between CNB and OEB for non-Luminal tumors (P =0.774).Ki67 expression in OEB samples was higher than in CNB samples (25.90％ vs.21.65％,P ＜ 0.001).Concordance rate between CNB and OEB for molecular subtypes was 72.34％ (K =0.606 4).Conclusions CNB is accurate in evaluating ER,PR,HER2 and Ki67 in breast cancer.CNB is accurate in diagnosing non-Luminal molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
