Objective To assess the role of MRI in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.Methods A retrospective study of 24 patients suspected of testicular neoplasm was conducted.The histological diagnosis of testicular neoplasms was made and local extension of testicular malignancy was evaluated.The MRI findings were correlated with the pathologic results.Results Histological examination revealed 26 intratesticular lesions,14 of which were nalignant,including 4 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma,7 cases of seminoma,2 cases of embryonal carcinoma,one case of teratoma.Twelve lesions were benign,including 5 cases of epidermoid cyst,2 cases of simple cyst,2 cases of inflammatory granuloma,2 cases of testicular mediastinal tubular expansion and one case of testicular pseudo fibroma.Six malignant testicular tumors were confined within the testis,4 invaded the testicular tunicae or epididymis,2 invaded the spermatic cord,and 2 invaded the scrotal wall.The accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of intratesticular lesions was 92％.The accuracy of MRI diagnosis in the local staging of testicular tunors was 86％.Conclusions MRI is highly accurate in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.It is of great significance to the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Antineoplastic agents-induced pulmonary toxicity is one of important reasons causing respiratory failure,which clinical manifestations are pulmonary inflammation,allergic reaction,vascular permeability reaction and pulmonary vascular disease.All of these may be caused by drug toxicity,immune response and increased capillary permeability and so on.Because of the nonspecific performance,it is important to exclude the other lung diseases.Once the diagnosis is clear,the antineoplastic gents should be immediately stopped and the patients should be timely administered high-dose eorticosteroid therapy.How to reduce the pulmonary toxicity induced by antineoplastic agents is becoming one of the future focuses about antineoplastic agents research.

Objective To investigate the applicetion value of combined ultrasonic scalpel in laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods 140 patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis,gallbladder stone patients,received intraoperative ultrasound combined electrosurgical knife,suction devices auxiliary red line LC.The clinical effects were observed.Results 138 cases were completed cholecystectomy.Blood loss ( 8.16 ± 1.85 ) ml,operation time(38.13 ±4.35) min,Postoperative hospital stay(3.25 ± 1.18)d,4 cases of intraoperative rupture of the gallbladder,Hepatobiliary burns in 1 case,2 cases because of dense adhesions around the gallbladder and gallbladder more extensive anatomical triangle unclear laparotomy.Conclusion The rational use of combined high-frequency ultrasonic scalpel knife,suction devices auxiliary red laparoscopic cholecystectomy,surgical conditions that meet medicalrecords,are safe and reliable,quicker recovery can be achieved by minimally invasive medical treatments.

Objective To evaluate effectiveness of clinical pharmacists'intervention in perioperative antimicrobial use in type Ⅰ incisional surgery.Methods Clinical data of 1398 patients undergoing type Ⅰ incisional surgery in a hospital between January and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,633 patients who underwent surgery between January and June were as pre-intervention group,765 patients who underwent surgery between July and December were as post-intervention group (clinical pharmacists were assigned to strengthen the management and control of rational antimicrobial use),antimicrobial prophylaxis between pre-intervention group and post-interven-tion group were compared.Results In pre- and post-intervention groups,antimicrobial prophylaxis were 56.71%and 28.37% respectively(χ2= 113.26,P<0.05). Rational selection rates of antimicrobial types were 60.45% and 89.86% respectively,rational rates of administration time were 49.58% and 82.49% respectively,the rates of anti-microbial prophylaxis course≤24 hours were 11.42% and 29.95% respectively,>24 hours were 88.58% and 70.05% respectively,combination antimicrobial use were 10.31% and 0 respectively,the differences between before and after intervention were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Incidence of surgical site infection in pre-and post-intervention groups were 0.79% (5/633)and 0.26% (2/765)respectively(P= 0.255).Conclusion Through clini-cal pharmacists'intervention in perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis in type Ⅰ incisional surgery,antimicrobial prophylax-is rate decreased dramatically,antimicrobial management is more standardized,scientific and systematic.

The study of 102 T2DM patients and 55 non-diabetes subjects showed that the average and largest IMT of carotid arterier had positive relation with age and HOMA-IR, and negative relation with insulin sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the remission rate of the therapy of integrated TCM into intensive insulin treatment, and the relationship between each factor and the remission rate. The effect of TCM on improving ?-cell fimction and remission rate was also studied. Methods Forty-seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were shortly treated with both continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and Chinese medicine. The remission rate was observed. The relationship between each factor and remission was analyzed by logistic regression. The ?-cell function of patients in remission group were evluated at the end of the treatment and during the period of follow-up. Results After treatment of (11.8?2.5)d, BMI and the ratio of the days of blood glucose reaching the standard and the total treatment days were the mainly factors affecting the remission. The remission rate at the end of treatment, one month after treatment and follow-up period (about six month) was 46.8%, 55.3%, 53.3% respectively. In following up, the remission rate in the Chinese medicine group and the control group was 66.7%, 44.4% respectively. Conclusions About half of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients obtain clinical remission after the short-term intensive treatment of integrated insulin and Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine may have positive impaction on remission and extending honeymoon period.
