Objective To discuss the feature of the ultrasonic image of the fetal congenital absence of the radius. Methods Five cases with congenital absence of the radius were examined by colour Doppler sonography and compared with normal fetuses. Results There were four characteristics of ultrasonic imaging:①The length of three radius was 0 cm in the six disabled limbs,others were 4 time s shorter than the normal identical pregnant fetuses. ②All the disabled limbs showed that the forearm was short and bent, and the hand was lopsided. ③All the cases were combined with hydramnios. ④Three abnormal fetuses were combined with other deformies.Conclusions Ultrasound is superior to other methods in diagnosing fetus congenital absence of the radius.

Objective To observe the effects of improving tumor cell hypoxia on radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Forty-two patients with NSCLC on stage II to stage IV were enrolled randomly, of whom 38 patients were well documented. All patients were treated with oxygenator by intravenous oxygen delivery within thirty minutes before radiotherapy to increase partial pressure of blood oxygen and improve tumor cell hypoxia. The arterial blood gas was analysed for each patients before and after oxygen infusion. All patients receive radiotherapy at a dosage of 2 Gy each time per day, five times per week. The total dosage was 60 to 70 Gy. Another 37 NSCLC patients selected randomly in control group were treated by conventional radiotherapy. The therapeutic effects were analysed statistically according to WHO categorized standard. Results The mean PO2 was (85.6?7.5) mm Hg, (103?9.7) mm Hg, and SaO2 was (89.5?6.1) %, (94.4?5.2) % before and after oxygen infusion respectively in study group. The efficacy of radiotherapy was 63.16 %(24/38), which was higher than that in control group 43.24 % (16/37) (0.05

Objective To explore the preliminary significance of overexpressed MUC-1 mRNA in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma. Method Total RNAs of 23 paired fresh lung samples and lung adenocarcinoma samples were extracted by routine Trizol way. After total RNAs were transcribed into cDNA, the expression of MUC-1 gene was detected in these samples by real-time PCR. Finally, the correlation of MUC-1 expression with the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed. Result Compared with normal lung tissues, the expression of MUC-1 in 20( 87% ) lung adenocarcinoma samples was markedly increased. Compared with early and mid-stage lung adenocarcinoma samples,. the overexpressed MUC-1 in late stage lung adenocarcinoma samples was increased by 2.2 folds. In addition, compared with primary lung adenocarcinoma samples without lymph node metastasis, MUC-1 mRNA was increased in primary lung adenocarcinoma samples with lymph node and distant metastasis ( 2.5 folds). Conclusion Overexpressed MUC-1 may participate in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To study the changes and significance of the hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen in the larynx of old guinea pig.Methods Six young guinea pigs (4 months old) and 6 old guinea pigs (2 years old) were selected as control group and aged group for this study (n=6 for each)The expressions of HA and collagen in the larynx of guinea pigs were detected using Alcian blue and Masson trichrome methods,respectively.The images were managed using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 For Window.Results The optical density (expression level) of HA in the larynx was lower in aged group than in control group (0.69 vs.0.80,F=13.45,P＜0.05).The optical density(expression level) of collagen in the larynx was higher in aged group than in control group (0.71 vs.0.63,F=9.56,P＜0.05).Conclusions The content of HA in larynx is decreased and collagen in larynx is increased in old guinea pig which may result in presbyphonia change through higher viscoelastic properties of vocal cords.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect on organ function by early peritoneal puncture and catheter drainage for intra-abdominal hypertension during the course of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on 405 patients of severe acute pancreatitis with IAH at Department of Pancreatic Surgery,Wuhan Union Hospital from January 2001 to September 2010.In the early course of SAP,137 cases did not receive peritoneal puncture and drainage decompression,268 cases were treated with peritoneal puncture and drainage decompression.ResultsThe differences of the scores of UBP and APACHE Ⅱ were statistically significant between the puncture group and the non-puncture group (P ＜ 0.05).The occurrence of ARDS,ARF and MODS in the group of puncture were significantly lower than those of the non-puncture group (14％ vs.27％,21％ vs.32％,9％ vs.14％,respectively,all P ＜0.05 ).At the same time,the differences between rate of early laparotomy and rate of early mortality in the two groups were statistically significant (4％ vs.12％,3％ vs.6％,respectively,all P ＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the occurrence time of negative balance in the two groups (5.9 ±2.9 vs.5.9 ± 2.4,P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionsEarly abdominal puncture and drainage reduce the abdominal pressure of patients with SAP and IAH.It also reduces the occurrence of organ failure,the rate of early laparotomy and the rate of early mortality in SAP patients.

Objective:To compare the bone dimensional changes following tooth extraction alone with extraction plus ridge preservation ( using deproteinized boving bone mineral Bio-Oss? and bioresorbable collagen mambrane Bio-Gide?) in periodontal compromised extraction sockets .Methods: Eighteen molars of sixteen subjects requiring tooth extraction because of periodontal destruction were enrolled in this study .The subjects were assigned to the control group ( extraction alone , EXT) or to the test group ( ridge-preservation procedure with Bio-Oss? and Bio-Gide?, RP) .Parallel periapical X-rays and cone-beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) scans were taken immediately after tooth extraction alone or plus ridge-preservation ( baseline ) and 6 months later .The changes of horizontal ridge width and vertical ridge height were assessed .Results:At the central buccal aspect , the ridge height increased 2 .9 mm in RP group, and reduced 1.0 mm in EXT group.At the distal buccal aspect , the ridge height increased 1.45 mm in RP group, and reduced 1.45 mm in EXT group.The differences between the groups reached statistical significance (P<0.05).The mean ridge width increased at the 1 mm below the crest (the horizontal ridge width was measured with grafting material at three levels at 1 mm below the most coronal aspect of the crest,HW1), which amounted to 3.40 to 5.80 mm in RP group, and 1.45 to 2.90 mm in EXT group.The mean ridge increased at the 4 mm below the crest ( the horizontal ridge width was measured with grafting material at three levels at 4 mm below the most coronal aspect of the crest ,HW4 ) , which amounted to 0.40 to 3.50 mm in RP group, and reduced 0.10 to increased 0.15 mm in EXT group.The test group and the control group were not significantly different (P>0.05).Conclusion:The ridge-preservation approach using Bio-Oss? in combination with Bio-Gide? can significantly increase vertical ridge height and horizontal ridge width after tooth extraction compared with extraction alone in periodontal compromised molars .

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of rhubarb combined with Probiotics for treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) accompanied by acute lung injury (ALI). Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty patients with SAP and ALI were randomly divided into a rhubarb group and a combination of rhubarb and Probiotics group (combined group), 30 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional therapy. On that therapeutic base, the patients in rhubarb group were treated with rhubarb 3 g·kg-1·d-1 (Raw rhubarb in boiling water 200 mL was cooked for 30 minutes, then the decoction was divided into two parts to be infused through nasal jejunal tube, retaining for 1 hour);while in the combined group, beside the above rhubarb therapy, the patients were additionally given Probiotics [Clostridium butyric acid:Chang Lekang capsule, once 1 grain (0.42 g), twice a day] through nasal jejunal tube. The therapeutic course was 14 days in the two groups. The plasma endotoxin levels, oxygenation index, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score were observed before and after treatment for 7 days and 14 days, respectively. After treatment for 30 days, the time of intestine functional recovery and mechanical ventilation, number of damaged organs, number of infectious sites, number of pancreatic pseudocysts, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and 30-day fatality rate were observed in the two groups. Results With the prolongation of treatment, the plasma level of endotoxin and APACHEⅡscore in the two groups were gradually reduced, and the oxygenation index was gradually increased after treatment for 7 days and 14 days in the two groups compared with those before treatment, and there were statistically significant differences in above indexes on the 14th day after treatment between combined group and rhubarb group [endotoxin (μg/L): 19.16±1.90 vs. 21.20±1.05, oxygenation index (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 369.50±5.45 vs. 341.50±7.36, APACHE Ⅱscore:11.84±0.60 vs. 13.00±0.86, P<0.05 or P<0.01]. The length of intestine functional recovery in the combined group was longer than that in the rhubarb group (days: 5.63±1.75 vs. 5.02±1.54), the number of damaged organs (2.08±0.74 vs. 2.70±1.11), the number of infectious sites (1.93±0.64 vs. 2.23±0.83), the number of pancreatic pseudocysts (1.22±0.34 vs. 1.63±0.11) and the mortality rate [10.0%(3/30) vs. 13.3%(4/30)] in the combined group were lower than those of the rhubarb group, but there were no statistically significant differences between two groups (all P > 0.05). The times of mechanical ventilation (days: 13.40±1.76 vs. 15.60±1.28) and the length of ICU stay (days:16.13±1.25 vs. 17.63±1.30) were significantly shorter in combined group than those in rhubarb group (both P<0.05). Conclusion Rhubarb combined with Probiotics for treatment of patients with SAP and ALI can promote their recovery of lung function and shorten their length of ICU stay.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of manipulation treatment and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on patients with cervicogenic headache. METHODS: Seventy patients with cervicogenic headache were randomly allocated to receive manipulation treatment and TENS treatment, which were given every other day respectively for total 40 days. The headache degree (numeric rating scale, NRS), frequency, lasting time and the range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine 2 weeks before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment, were compared. RESULTS: Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the headache NRS scores , frequency, lasting time and the ROM scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the headache NRS score, frequency, lasting time in the manipulation group decreased significantly (P<0.01), while in the TENS group just the headache NRS score decreased significantly (P<0.05). The ROM scores in both groups showed no significant changes (P>0.05). The response rate of manipulation treatment is 94.5%, significantly higher than 64.5% of TENS treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The manipulation treatment is an effective method for patients with cervicogenic headache.

Objective To evaluate the role of interventional ultrasound technique in prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.Methods Percutaneous ultrasound-monitored amniocentesis and cordocentesis were performed on 186 pregnant women with indicantions for prenatal diagnosis to detect karyotype of the fetus.Results All the cases were punctured successfully.Percutaneous ultrasound-monitored amniocentesis was performed in 105 pregnant women.The archievement rate of the aminiotic fluid was 97.1%,and the detection rate of the chromosomal abnormality was 8.8%.Percutaneous ultrasound-monitored cordocentesis were performed in 81 pregnant women.The archievement rate of the cord blood was 98.8%,and the detection rate of the chromosomal abnormality was 5.0%.There was no significant deviation between them.The valid indications of the puncture included the abnormal serology screening results of pregnant women,the history of abnormal deliveries,the history of the trisomy 21,and the abnormal fetus detected by ultrasound,the last of which was higher than the other indications at the detection of the chromosomal abnormality.Conclusions Interventional ultrasound technique proves to be valid in the prenatal diagnosis,and ultrasound detection of abnormal fetus indicates the possibility of the fetal chromosomal abnormality.
