Objective To investigate the accuracy of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis of the lymph nodes metastases (LNMs) and stage of rectal cancer (RC).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 65 patients with RC who were admitted to the Peking University People's Hospital between April 2014 and April 2016 were collected.The results of postoperative pathological examination:of 65 patients with RC,24 had positive LNMs and 41 had negative LNMs;N0,N1 and N2 were respectively detected in 41,14 and 10 patients.Imaging data were captured using 3.0-Tesla MRI and body phased-array coil.Diagnostic criteria for LNMs of RC:criterion 1:irregular lymph node boundaries and signal characteristics were not considered;criterion 2:heterogeneous signal of lymph nodes and boundary characteristics were not considered;criterion 3:irregular lymph node boundaries and / or heterogeneous signal of lymph nodes.The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) cancer staging manual (7th edition) have established the N staging scheme for RC.Lymph nodes distribution according to the rectal lymphatic drainage:D1was located in fascia of the mesorectum;D1a above the level of tumor;D1b at the level of tumor;D1c under the level of tumor;D2 around the superior rectal artery and root of inferior mesenteric artery;D3 on the side of pelvic cavity.Observation indicators:(1) Efficiency and comparison of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the 3 criteria (postoperative pathological result as a gold standard).(2) Efficiency and comparison of N stage of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRIaccording to the 3 criteria (postoperative pathological result as a gold standard).(3) Efficiency of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the maximum short diameter of lymph nodes:① maximum short diameter distribution of positive and negative LNMs of RC;②sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and consistency of LNMs diagnosed using different maximum short diameter of lymph nodes as a threshold (postoperative pathological result as a gold standard);③ comparison of accuracy of LNMs diagnosed using maximum short diameter of lymph nodes with highest diagnostic accuracy as a threshold and using the 3 criteria;④ sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and consistency (postoperative pathological result as a gold standard) of LNMs diagnosed using maximum short diameter of lymph nodes with highest diagnostic accuracy as a threshold combined with the highest efficiency in the (1),and its comparison in accuracy of LNMs with highest diagnostic accuracy as a threshold.(4) Distribution of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the 3 criteria.(5) Follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect patients' postoperative survival up to October 2016.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and comparison of ratio were respectively done by the chi-square test.Kappa test was used for consistency,tκ ≤ 0.40was used as low consistency,0.40＜κ≤0.60 as moderate consistency,0.60＜κ≤0.80 as higher consistency,and κ＞ 0.80 very high consistency.Results (1) Efficiency and comparison of LNMs of RC diagnosed by highresolution MRIaccording to the 3 criteria:accuracies of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the criterion 1,2 and 3 were respectively 93.8％,87.7％ and 90.8％,showing very.high,higher and very high consistencies compared with postoperative pathological results (κ =0.87,0.74,0.81,P＜0.05),and with no statistically significant difference in diagnostic accuracy among them (x2=1.495,P＞0.05).(2) Efficiency and comparison of N stage of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the 3 criteria:accuracies of N stage of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the criterion 1,2 and 3 were respectively 87.7％,83.1％ and 84.6％,showing the same higher consistencies compared with postoperative pathological result (κ =0.77,0.68,0.72,P＜0.05),and with no statistically significant difference in N stage among them (x2=0.567,P＞0.05).(3) Efficiency of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the maximum short diameter of lymph nodes:① maximum short diameter distribution of positive and negative LNMs of RC:maximum short diameter ranges were respectively 3-18 mm in positive LNMs and 1-9 mm in negative LNMs,and maximum short diameter ＜3 mm and ≥ 10 mm were respectively negative and positive LNMs.② Efficiency of LNMs of RC diagnosed using different maximum short diameter of lymph nodes as a threshold:diagnostic accuracy of 70.8％was the highest when maximum short diameter ＞7 mm was used as a standard of positive LNMs,showing a low consistency compared with postoperative pathological result (κ =0.29,P＜0.05).③ Comparison of accuracy of LNMs diagnosed using maximum short diameter of lymph nodes ＞7 mm as a threshold and using the 3 criteria:there was a statistically significant difference among them (x2 =15.637,P＜0.05);accuracies of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the criterion 1,2 and 3 were higher than that diagnosed using maximum short diameter of lymph nodes ＞7 mm as a threshold (x2 =10.354,5.656,6.923,P＜0.05).④Comparison of accuracy of LNMs diagnosed using maximum short diameter of lymph nodes ＞7 mm combined with the criterion 3 as a threshold and using maximum short diameter ＞7 mm as a threshold:the criterion 3 was used as a threshold because there was no statistically significant difference in diagnostic accuracy among the 3 criteria (P＞ 0.05).Diagnostic accuracy was 78.5％ when maximum short diameter ＞7 mm combined with the criterion 3 as a threshold,showing a low consistency compared with postoperative pathological result (κ =0.36,P＜0.05),with no statistically significant difference in diagnostic accuracy compared with maximum short diameter ＞ 7 mm as a threshold (x2=0.154,P＞0.05).(4) Distribution of LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI according to the 3 criteria:positive LNMs of RC diagnosed by high-resolution MRI located mostly in D1 (76.1％-83.1％)and D1b(77.8％-81.4％).(5) Follow-up situations:of 65 patients,54 were followed up for 6-25 months,with a median time of 14 months.During the follow-up,7 patients had distant metastases and 47 had tumor-free survival.Conclusions There are higher accuracies of LNMs and N stage of RC diagnosed using preoperative highresolution MRI.Diagnostic accuracy of LNMs of RC cannot be improved when characteristics of lymph node morphology and size are used as a diagnostic standard.The positive LNMs of RC locate mostly in D1 and Dib.

Objective To learn the change trend of live newborn birth condition from 1987 to 2011 in Hongjiang people′s hospi-tal .Methods Cluster sampling was adopted and altogether 2 711 singleton live newborns in 1987 ,1995 ,2005 ,2011 year were retro-spectively analyzed .Results From 1987 to 2011 ,the birth weight changes of live newborn overall showed an increasing trend .The sex ratio of birth appeared rising after 1995 ,especially apparent in parous wowen and rural areas .Incidence of macrosomia showed an increasing trend ,the post-term infant delivery rate decreased after 1995 .Low birth weight infant and premature infant birth rate trend was not obvious .Conclusion 25 years in Hongjiang people`s hospital ,the overall trend of live newborn birth outcomes is good which prompts that the quality of perinatal care in the hospital is improved .In the future ,the perinatal health care should focuse on taking effective comprehensive measures to control the growth of the birth sex ratio and the incidence of macrosomia .

AAIM:To investigate the effect of atorvastatin ( ATO) on electrical remodeling, atrial ion channel protein expression and cardiac function in atrial tachypacing rabbits, and to explore the potential electrical mechanism of ATO in the prevention of atrial fibrillation.METHODS:The rabbits were subjected to atrial tachypacing at 600 min-1 in the absence or presence of treatment with atorvastatin (ATP and ATO groups) for 48 h, and the other 10 as sham group without pacing ( NP group) .The tachypacing model was performed by attaching pacing and testing electrodes to left atrial and connecting with custom animal cardiac pacemaker in the open-chest situation.The animals in ATO group were pretrea-ted with ATO for 7 d and continued during tachypacing.Serial atrial effective refractory period ( AERP) was measured in each rabbit at baseline, 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, 32 h, 40 h and 48 h with different cycle lengths.The changes of cardiac func-tions and cardiac structure were observed by cardiac ultrasonic cardiogram before and after atrial tachypacing.The expres-sion of atrial ion channel proteins CaLα1 and Kv4.3 was detected by Western blotting.RESULTS:Compared with NP group, AERP at cycle lengths of 150 and 200 ms, the adaption of AERP, and the levels of CaLα1 and Kv4.3 expression were all decreased in ATP and ATO group, especially in ATP group.Left atrial dimension ( LAD) was increased in pacing groups as compared with NP group (P<0.05) after pacing delivery for 48 h, while no difference between the formers was observed.No significant change of the left ventricular dimension ( LVD) and ejection fraction ( LVEF) among groups be-fore and after pacing was found.CONCLUSION:Atrial tachypacing significantly shorten AERP, resulting in poor adap-tion of AERP, while ATO pretreatment significantly attenuates the atrial electrical remodeling in rabbits, but had no effect on cardiac structure.ATO suppresses the down-regulation of atrial ion channel proteins CaLα1 and Kv4.3 expression after 48 h, which may be the potential ionic mechanism of atrial electrical remodeling for ATO.
