Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) guided interstitial chemotherapy for the pancreas in canine model. Methods A therapeutic 19gauge needle was inserted into the pancreas with EUS guidance,and seeds with sustained release of 5-iluorouracil were implanted into the tissue. After 14 days of clinical observation,the animals were sacrificed and the tissue response to local chemotherapy was examined. Results All the seeds were implanted successfuUy and no migration was observed. Chemotherapy induced tissue fibrous necrosis was localized in the pancreas without significant complications. The apoptotic index of tissue within 1 cm of the seeds increased.Biochemical parameters were normal in all the dogs. Conclusion EUS-guided implantation of seeds is a safe,simple and minimally invasive technique for interstitial chemotherapy in the pancreas.

Objective To determine the value of EUS- guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)for the diagnosis of submucosal lesions.MethodsWe found 28 patients with upper gastrointestinal tract solid submucosal lesions by endoseopies. EUS was performed to assess the lesions arised from the specific layer of the wall and the lymph node metastasis. After excluding extrinsic normal tissues compressing the gastrointestinaltract, EUS guided FNAB were carried out. Results Among these patients, two were extrinsic normal tissues compressing the gastrointestinal tract and all other 26 patients were examined by EUS guided FNAB. EUS- guided FNAB failed in only 3 patients. Among the other 23 patients, cytology demonstrated malignant tumors in 4 patients(lymphoma, n=2; leiomyosarcoma, n=2) and benign lesions in 19 patients(leiomyoma, n=1;lipoma, n=1 ). The results of EUS-guided FNAB were validated by surgery (n=20), endoscopic treatment (n=1) or clinical follow-up (n=7). Conclusion EUS guided FNAB is a safe and accurate method for di-agnosis of submucosal lesions.

At present, central nervous system involvement is the most common in neuropsychiatric lupus.This article discus-ses the research status of central nervous system lupus in the past few years which include characteristics of clinical presentation, etio-pathological mechanism, neuroimaging diagnosis and therapeutic strategy.Actually, the advanced technology, especially neuroimmu-nology and neuroimaging, in combination with early diagnosis, effective assessment and treat to target strategy could decrease global disease activity, ameliorate quality of life and increase life expectancy.Furthermore, the prospective researches should be paid more attention in lupus registries, neuropsychiatric questionnaires, damage index and improvement of severe refractory cases in clinic.

Objective To determine the value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. Methods EUS was performed in 23 patients with pancreatic lesions detected by CT, MRI, or US to assess the shape, size, and position of the lesions and the status of lymph nodes metastasis. After excluding blood vessel between the lesions and the fine needle by EUS, EUS guided FNAB was carried out. Results All patients were performed EUS-guided FNAB and only 2 patients failed. Among the other 21 patients, cytology and pathology demonstrated tumors in 10 patients (pancreatic carcinoma, n=8; pancreatic cystadenoma, n=1; non functional neuroendocrine tumor, n=1). The results of EUS-guided FNAB were evaluated by surgery (n=16), or clinical follow-up (n=7). The sensitivity was 83%, and speciality was 100%, and no complication occurred. Conclusions EUS-guided FNAB is a safe and accurate method for differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions.

Objective To evaluate the method of endoscopic band ligation in resecting upper gastrointestinal leiomyoma . Methods We selected 59 patients with 64 small upper gastrointestinal tract leiomyo-mas by endoscopy , EUS and EUS guided fine needle aspiration. Of the 64 leiomyomas, their distribution were in esophagus 50, stomach 12 and duodenum 2. When the endoscope with transparent cap was introduced to reach the lesion, it was sucked into the cap, then released the band to ligate it. Two weeks after operation, endoscopic monitoring of the lesion was performed weekly until the complete healing of the wound. Results In the 64 lesions, 50 esophageal and 2 duodenal leiomyomas were thoroughly resected and the mean concrescence time is 3. 1 weeks and 4. 5 weeks respectively. Nine of 12 gastric leiomyomas were resected thoroughly and the other 3 were partially ligated and resulted in incomplete excision with the mean concrescence time of 4. 5weeks. No perforation occurred. Conclusions Endoscopic band ligation is an ideal method in resecting the small upper gastrointestinal leiomyomas.

Objective To explore the research progress of the multimodal clinical support system (CSS). Methods With recognized development and operation of the multi-model CSS, and compared to the traditional CSS, to explore the research progress of the multimodal CSS. Results Based on the realization of the concept, purpose and characteristics of the multimodal CSS, it has been known that the international research progress of the multimodal CSS. Conclusion The developing and evolving of the CSS model have offered a new assist to the multi-disciplinary treatment model, and have enhanced the improving system associated with the practice of evidence-based medicine. However, the application of clinical support system program (CSSP) in our country still needs more research.

Objective:To observed the effects of electroacupuncture frequency on the nerve function and postsynaptic destination-95 (PSD-95), growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in brain tissue of rats with cerebral ischemia were observed.Methods:Healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group, sham operation group, model group and 2 Hz, 50 Hz, 100 Hz electroacupuncture groups. MCAO models were prepared in each group, except blank group and sham operation group. After modeling, Qiansanli and Waiguan acupoints were given stimulation with 2 Hz, 50 Hz and 100 Hz respectively in 2 Hz electroacupuncture group, 50 Hz electroacupuncture group and 100 Hz electroacupuncture group, 1 time/d and 20 min/time for 21 consecutive days. All groups were scored by Bederson score on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21th day after operation. The ultrastructure of synapses was observed by transmission electron microscope, and the positive expression of PSD-95 and GAP-43 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:After modeling 7, 14 and 21 days, compared with the model group, the Bederson behavioral score (1.70 ± 0.52 vs. 2.40 ± 0.56, 1.20 ± 0.65 vs. 2.30 ± 0.46, 0.70 ± 0.72 vs. 2.00 ± 0.86) in 50 Hz electroacupuncture group significantly decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). The expression of PSD-95 (58.67 ± 1.72, 55.22 ± 2.45, 60.10 ± 2.49 vs. 70.87 ± 2.34) intergral optical density of rats’ cortex in 2 Hz, 50 Hz, 100 Hz electroacupuncture groups significantly decreased ( P<0.01), the expression of GAP-43 in 2 Hz and 50 Hz electroacupuncture groups (58.89 ± 1.28, 64.76 ± 3.94 vs. 53.24 ± 2.58) significantly increased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Electroacupuncture with different frequency can improve motor nerve disfunction of cerebral ischemia rats, and 50 Hz electroacupuncture group showed the most obvious effect. It can regulate PSD-95 and GAP-43 expressions of ischemic area, lower neural excitatory toxicity, increase neuronal axon regeneration and exert the neural protect function.

As the dressings currently used in clinic settings unflat shape in general, they can't be fitted completely on occiput, heel, elbow, knee and other body parts unflat. This paper developed one kind of foam dressing of special shape based on local anatomy. The foam dressing is waterproof and air permeable, it can cover the wound closely enough to prevent bacteria from invasion and infection. With a saturated absorption ratio of 1: 8 or higher, it can keep the wound clean and moisture by absorbing large amounts of wound inflammatory secretions and is almost completely permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Assuring safety and effect meanwhile, it has better outcomes than common dressings in the same application settings.
