Objective To study clinical application and complication of heavy silicon oil (Densiron68) in the treatment of traumat- ic proliferative vitreoretinopathy.Design Non-comparatives,retrospective case series.Participants Twenty patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy resulting from ocular trauma were recruited,whose retinal detachment arising from inferior or posterior retinal breaks. Methods Heavy silicon oil was applied to patients during vitrectomy.Silicone oil or gas was applied to patients with redetachment after heavy silicon oil was removed.Main Outcome Measures The rate of retinal attachment,vision,intraocular pressure,inflammatory re- action of anterior segment and silicone oil emulsification period.Results The rate of retinal attachment with one operation using heavy silicon oil was 50%(10/20 eyes)and 15%(3/20 eyes)with further surgery.The average follow-up time was 3.90?1.41 months.At the end of the follow-up,all tamponade agents were removed in 50% patients.Patients' logMAR vision after the surgery was 2.19?0.86,which was better than before the surgery (2.63?1.00) (P=0.037).There was little evidence of high intraocular pressure,excessive inflammatory reaction of anterior segment and cornea endothelial cell damage,but cataract became more serious without exception.Emulsification rate was 100% and the average emulsification period was 2.18?0.87 months.Conclusions Heavy silicon oil tamponade in vitreoretinal surgery for traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy has good efficacy and relatively few complications.However,its emulsification period is relatively short,which may constraint its application to a certain extent.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the characteristics of contrast-enhanced sonography of intraoperative glioblastoma multiform (GBM) and molecular markers of isocitrate dehydrogenase-1(IDH1).Methods:A retrospective analysis were performed in 30 patients who underwent neurosurgery and pathologically confirmed to be GBM at Beijing Tiantan Hospital from May 2018 to April 2019. All neurosurgical glioblastoma patients after craniotomy underwent conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) guided navigation. The characteristics of the ultrasound imaging (whether the tumor involves the structure of the corpus callosum, the clarity of the tumor boundary after enhanced ultrasound and whether the tumor has necrotic areas with enhanced ultrasound images) were analyzed. The ratio between tumor necrosis area and whole tumor area (N/W) was measured, and the correlation with IDH1 gene expression was analyzed.Results:There were statistical differences in clarity of tumor boundary after CEUS and tumor necrosis after CEUS between positive IDH1 and negative IDH1 groups(all P<0.05). The positive expression of IDH1 was negatively correlated with the N/W area of the contrast-enhanced ultrasound mode( r=-0.756, P<0.05), suggesting that the expression level of IDH1 gene was negatively correlated with the area of tumor necrosis. Conclusions:Ultrasound contrast agent examination can more accurately distinguish the active proliferation area, hemorrhagic necrosis area and peripheral edema area of glioblastoma. Accurately identifying the extent of tumor necrosis area through ultrasound contrast agent examination can predict expression of IDH1.

Phospholipase D(PLD) is ubiquitous in bacteria,fungi,and mammal.In pathogenic microorganisms,PLD can be pathogenic determinant and play a role in spore generation.In mammalian cells,PLD functions in several signal transduction pathways,such as membrane transportation,mitosis regulation,and actin cytoskeleton regulation.In the process of pathogens invasion host cells,both of the pathogen and host cells’ PLD will be activated and a series of cascade reaction will be generated.During this process,pathogen’s PLD can regulate the polymerization and reorganization of its own actin filaments and induce the polymerization or reorganization of the host cell actin filaments near the foci,thus to promote the phagocytosis of the pathogen by host cell.Investigating the role of PLD activation in the infection will be significance for further understanding the molecular mechanism of pathogen-host cell interaction.

Objective To evaluate the imaging performance and characteristics of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNET), in order to raise awareness of the disease and the diagnostic accuracy. Methods Thirteen patients with pPNET who confirmed by puncture or pathology were enrolled in this study. The CT and MRI features were retrospectively analyzed. Four patients received simple routine CT examination, and 9 patients had MRI examination based on X-ray, CT examination. Results The part of body involved was more widely.Two patients occurred in the sinuses, 1 patient in the chest wall, 1 patient in the lung, and 3 patients in the abdominal and pelvic(1 patient involved the pelvic floor through the pelvic wall lesions to basins), 1 patient in the spine, and 5 patients located in the extremities. The characteristics of pPNET by CT and MRI in soft tissue of 8 patients showed single large soft tissue mass, and the biggest was 11.2 cm × 10.6 cm. In bonds and joints of 5 patients, CT and MRI showed wide range of soft tissue mass, mixed internal signal/density with obviously uneven enhancement, significant bone destruction and dissolvable osseous changes, and no obvious tumor bone and calcification. Conclusions Each site has its relative imaging characteristics of pPNET. CT and MRI can show lesions involving the scope, internal structure, with or without adjacent tissue invasion and metastasis, and provide guidance for clinical treatment and selecting treatment regimen. But in the end, it depends on the diagnosis of pathological and immunohistochemical examination.

Objective To confirm whether the open-ended coaxial line is effective in detection of the differences in dielectric properties between colorectal cancer tissues and surrounding normal tissues and evaluation of the depth of tumor invasion. Methods The open-ended coaxial line system at frequencies ranging from 50 to 500 MHz in 98 freshly excised colorectal cancerous specimens obtained from the operating theatre of Zhujiang Hospital, was used to detect both the relative permittivity and conductivity on the serosal surface of the carcinoma nidus, the mucosa of the carcinoma nidus, and the mucosa of the surgical resection margin. Pathological examinations were conducted on each specimen after surgery. Results The values for relative permittivity and conductivity of the colorectal cancerous mucosa were significantly higher than those of the normal mucosa (P < 0.01). For the tumor which had invaded or penetrated the serosa (stage ≥ T3), the dielectric properties of both the cancerous serosa and mucosa were higher than the one restricted to muscularis propria or less intestine wall (stage < T3) over the measured frequency range, and there existed statistical differences at the common frequencies of 213 MHz and 426 MHz. Conclusion The open-ended coaxial line system may result in fast and effective diagnostic differentiation between cancerous and normal colorectal tissues as well as reasonable assessment of the tumor infiltration depth.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)which were tested by immunity transmission turbidity in early kidney injury after elective percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods A case-control study was conducted.All 201 stable angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome patients undergone percutaneous coronary intervention in TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital,during April to August 2013,were enrolled in this study.Before and 2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h,48 h after the operation,the plasma creatinine of the patient samples were tested by enzymic method.Before and 2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h after the operation,the plasma NGAL was tested by immunity transmission turbidity method.Before and 8 h,24 h after the operation,the urinary NGAL was tested by immunoturdimetric method.The data were compared between contrast induced nephrpathy (CIN) and non-CIN groups.For normal distribution of quantitative data,t test were used and for non-normal distribution of quantitative data,nonparametric rank and inspection were used.Results CIN occurred in 8 of 201 enrolled patients,the incidence was 3.98％.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis confirmed the diagnostic accuracy of the plasma NGAL in CIN,and the area under the curve(AUC) of 2 h plasma NGAL was 0.928,95％ CI 0.800-0.985,with the cut-off value NGAL as 109 ng/ml,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for CIN were 87.5％ and 100％ ;the AUC of 8 h plasma NGAL was 0.945,95％ CI 0.824-0.992,with the cut-off value NGAL as 96 ng/ml,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for CIN were 87.5％ and 87.5％ ;the AUC of 8 h urinary NGAL was 0.969,95％ CI 0.859-0.999,with the cutoff value NGAL as 91 ng/ml,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for CIN were 87.5％ and 100％.Conclusions The change of plasma and urinary NGAL is earlier to that of serum creatinine for the early diagnosis of CIN.It can be used as the predictor of early renal damage after elective coronary artery interventional.
