Objective To evaluate the applied value of CT guiding the liver cancer ablation with cluster electrode radiofrequency hyperthermia. Methods 105 cases with local lung cancer were ablated with cluster electrode radiofrequency hyperthermia by whole body CT-ELSCINT 2400ELECT. Results Success rate of 105 cases CT guiding was 98.3% and the total remission rate was 82.8%. Conclusion It is with CT that the location of percutaneous puncture can be optimally selected, and the point view and depth of the electrode can been detected anytime; also, the internal local focus can be monitored. So, the CT guiding is the optimal method to guide cluster electrode radiofrequency hyperthermia ablation for lung cancer.

Objective To study the difference between images of DR with or without equilibrated reconstruction. Methods 200 samples undergoing DR abdominal imaging from April 2003 are chosen orderly. Results All details of different tissue can be displayed in an image by adopting Equilibrated Reconstruction, while standard DR images should adjust the width and position of the window to get the same effect. Conclusion Equilibrated Reconstruction technology could improve image quality of different tissues without loss of details of other parts, and make DR more consummate and operation more convenient. It raise the ratio of displaying lesions.

Objective To investigate the role of NFIC on the stimulation effects of cAMP-induced differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla ( SCAPs) in vitro. Methods SCAPs isolated from dental papilla of human imma-ture third molars were cultured by enzyme digestion. SCAPs were transfected with lentivirus that overexpressed NF-IC gene ( ov-NFIC) or an empty vector ( LV-empty) and co-treatment with Forskolin. Mineralized nodule formation of each group was measured by alizarin red staining. Quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to test the expressions of RUNX2,ALP,OCN mRNA. Results Forskolin increased the ex-pression of Runx2, ALP, OCN mRNA as well as matrix mineralization in SCAPs, and the stimulation effects of For-skolin were enhanced by overexpressing NFIC gene. Conclusion The results indicate that NFIC can promote cAMP-induced differentiation of SCAPs.

Objective To investigate the influence of different timing of surgery on patients with poor-grade intracranial aneurysm. Methods The clinical data of 86 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (Hunt-Hess gradeⅣ toⅤ)were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into an ultra-early treatment group (the operative time within 24 h after onset;n=40),an early treatment group, (24 to 72 h after onset;n=27),and middle and late treatment group (>72 h after onset;n=19)according to the different timing of surgery. The prognosis of patients at 6 months after procedure was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)scores. The differences of the rate of good prognosis (mRS 0 to 2)and mortality in patients of the 3 groups were compared. Results (1 )The ratios of good prognosis in the ultra-early treatment group,early treatment group,and middle and late treatment group were 55. 0%(n=22),33. 3%(n=9),and 21. 1%(n=4),respectively. There were significant differences (P<0. 05). The mortality rate of the ultra-early treatment group (7. 5%)was lower than that of the early treatment group (25. 9%) or middle and late treatment group (42. 1%). There were significant differences (P<0. 05). (2)There were significant differences in the rate of good prognosis in different timing of surgery in patients with gradeⅣ(P<0. 05);there was no significant difference in the rate of good prognosis in patients with grade Ⅴ(P>0. 05). The mortality ratios in patients of the 3 groups were 2/18,4/11,and 6/11,respectively. There were significant differences (P<0. 05). Conclusion Ultra-early operation may benefit part of the patients with poor-grade aneurysm,particularly in patients with gradeⅣ. As for the patients with grade Ⅴ, ultra-early operation may help to reduce short-term mortality rate,however,the rate of vegetative state is high.

Objective To evaluate the application value of different MR sequences in cerebral developmental venous anomalies (DAVs),and to explore the relationship between DVAs and its associated lesions.Methods MRI findings in 38 patients of DAVs were analyzed retrospectively.Imaging performance and characteristics of DAVs and its associated lesions in different MR sequences were analyzed.Results In all of the 38 cases,3 cases were multiple DVAs without associated lesions,1 case was combined right lateral ventricle hemorhage,1 case was combined with multiple cavernous hemangioma,8 cases were single DVAs with solitary cavernous hemangioma,5 cases were combined with astrocytoma,1 case was combined with intracranial hematoma,and 19 cases were single DVAs with no comorbidity.DVAs in 16 cases showed strip or small patchy hypo-intensity lesions and 15 cases were not visible on T1WI;16 cases showed strip or small patchy hypo-intensity,5 cases showed strip or flocculent hypo-intensity and 10 cases could not seen on T2WI;19 cases showed patchy or strip hypo-intensity and 8 cases showed iso intensive signal on DWI;8 of the 10 cases who performed susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) examination showed dendritic low signal,showing a typical caput medusae sign,2 cases showed no lesions on SWI;30 cases underwent 3D-T1WI enhanced scan showed clearly all lesions of DAVs,19 cases of them showed typical caput medusae sign and large draining veins.Conclusion Routine MR sequence can demonstrate part of the DVAs and associated peripheral lesions,DWI showed lesions of DAVs is superior to routine MR sequence,SWI and enhanced 3D-T1WI can accurately diagnose DVAs and show the venous drainage.

Objective To assess the safety of combined lung resection and cardiac surgery in patients with synchronously occurring lung tumor and heart disease. Methods Fourteen patients with synchronously lung tumor and heart disease received lung resection combined with open heart surgery between 2003 and 2008 in our hospital. There were 11 men and 3 women with a mean age of 64 years. Lung resection consisted of lobectomy in 8 patients, sleeve lobectomy in 1, and wedge resection in 5.Pulmonary tumor pathology was squamous cell in 4 patients, adenocarcinoma in 6, undifferentiated carcinoma in 1, hamartoma in 2 and sclerosing hemangioma in 1. Cardiac procedure included coronary artery bypass grafting (off-pump) in 12 cases, mitral valve replacement in 1 and valve repair in 1. Results No patient died or needed to do re-exploration for bleeding. One patient developed atrial fibrillation postoperatively and recovered soon. One patient developed pneumonia and ARDS who bad to receive tracheostomy but finally he discharged from hospital one month later after the operation. Conclusion Combined lung tumor resection and cardiac surgery are relatively safe in selected patients, especially concomitantly with off pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Lung resection and system medinstinal lymph node dissection for lung canner through second incision had low and acceptable operative morbidity.

Objective To establish an animal model of PCOS and to detect the DNA methylation states of LHR, INSR and AR genes. Methods 24-days-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups. The rats in the experimental group were given subcutaneous implanting of levonorgestrel silica gel staff and injected 1.5 IU hCG twice daily for 9 days from the 4th day. The rats in the control group were injected with normal saline at the same time. Ovarian morphologic changes, sex hormone levels, fasting serum insulin and glucose were detected. The LHR, INSR and AR genes' DNA methylation patterns were checked by methylation specific PCR in modeling group and control group. Results The ovarian weight and volume in modeling group were higher than those in control group. The ovaries in modeling group showed multiple follicular cysts, and the number of theca cells and interstitial cells increased. Less developed follicles and corpus lutea were seem. The serum level of progesterone, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, fasting insulin and glucose were significantly higher in experimental group than those in control group, so as the LH/FSH ratio and HOMA index. No methylation of LHR and AR genes were found in both groups. The methylation frequency of INSR gene (76.7%) was significantly higher in modeling group than that in control group (P<0. 001). Conclusion The depression of INSR gene's transcriptional induced by DNA methylation is important in the development of insulin resistance in PCOS.

Objective To compare the pros and cons of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) with those of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in the treatment of common bile duct stones.Methods We searched The Cochrane library,Medline,Pubmed,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP and Wan Fang database in any language.RCTs that compared EPBD with EST for the removal of common bile duct stones were included from January 1983 to September 2012 and qualities of the trials were evaluated.Statistic analyses were carried out using RevMan 5.1 software.Results A total of 18 randomized trials with 2385 participants met our inclusion criteria.EPBD compared with EST resulted in similar outcomes with regards to stone removal on 1 st attempt,overall stone removal,perforation,total short-term complication,long-term cholangitis or mortality.EPBD carries a higher risk of pancreatitis (RR =1.99,95％ CI:1.41-2.81) and severe pancreatitis (RR =4.68,95 ％ CI:1.36-16.11),and requires higher rates of mechanical lithotripsy (RR =1.31,95％ CI:1.14-1.50).Conversely,EPBD not only has statistically significant lower rates of bleeding (RR =0.14,95％ CI:0.06-0.34),but also leads to significantly less long-term cholecystitis (RR =0.38,95％ CI:0.19-0.76),long-term stone recurrence (RR =0.67,95％ CI:0.47-0.96) and total longterm complications (RR =0.52,95 ％ CI:0.40-0.67).Conclusion On the basis of lower rates of bleeding or long-term complications,EPBD should be the preferred strategy over EST for endoscopic management of common bile duct stones,however,the rate of pancreatitis,especially the severe pancreatitis is higher with EPBD.
