Objective Speckle is the inherent problem exists in B-Mode ultrasound image,and effective speckle noise reduction will improve the image quality and contribute greatly to clinical doctors to diagnose,especially in fine ophthalmic examination with high frequency ultrasound.Methods This paper proposed a new speckle reduction method based on the Laplacian pyramid and multiscale analysis.In the Laplacian pyramid,true clinical features were separated from noise,according to the different bandpass ultrasound image characteristics in each layer,and the advanced eight directions speckle reduction anisotropic diffusion (SRAD)was adapted to suppressed the speckle noise,and the identified noise and the extracted features were selectively emphasized by suitable edge,coherence and contrast enhancement filtering from fine to coarse scales.The performance of the proposed method was compared to the traditional SRAD method and coherence-enhancing diffusion method by measuring the equivalent number of looks (ENL) and Time cost.Results The ENL and Time cost value of the proposed method were higher compared to the SRAD and the cedif method,i.e 1.172 3 vs 1.122 3,0.929 3 and 0.864 0 vs 1.396 0,1.468 3.Conclusions In summary,the proposed method can more effectively remove the speckle noise while preserving the edge and details of the images.

Objective To discuss the common causes for postoperative complications after treatment of spinal fractures and their preventive measures.Methods To analyze the 32 failed eases who received internal fixation for their thoracolumbar fractures between July 1998 and April 2005 in our department.Their preoperative and postoperative results of X-ray,CT and MIR examinations were reviewed to find out the causes for failure.Three of them were treated through anterior approach and 29 through posterior approach.Eighteen screws broke in eight eases, the rods got loosened in eight cases and broken in four cases,15 pedicte screws were mis-located in eight cases and the implants got loosened in three cases.Results Thirty patients had to get a reoperation.Two were cured through non-surgical treatment.The causes for failure were found to be as follows:1,incorrect operation approach;2,in- stability of the front-middle colunm;3,unskillful operation;4,ignorance or the lesion to the adjacent vertebral discs; 5,flaws in pedicle screw design.Conclusion To prevent postoperative complications after internal fixation for spinal fractures,surgeons should strictly stick to the indications before operation,choose a proper approach and method for internal fixation,try to stabilize the front-middle column by the first intention,and have a good command of anatomy and operation skills.

Objective To explore the efficacy of intervention combined with traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of early femoral head necrosis. Methods 62 cases of early femoral head necrosis were treated with interventional and traditional Chinese medicine, all patients were assessed for clinical efficacy before treatment and 6 months after treatment. The clinical hip function, pain index evaluation and rating of the femoral head venography were recorded. Results 41 cases were cured, 18 cases improved,no improvement in 3 cases,the total effective rate was 95. 2%. Clinical hip function after treatment compared with before treatment increased by 32.5%,there was a statistically significant difference (P＜0.01); compared with before treatment, significantly reduced pain (P＜0. 01). After treatment, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly increased number of cases, respectively, compared with the preoperative increase of 146.2% and 160.0%,femoral venography ratings before and after treatment had significant difference(P＜0.01). Conclusion Intervention combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment could significantly improve the early femoral head necrosis.

By using microwave extraction, a GC/MS method was developed for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs) content in soil which is around the discharge ditch of oily wastewater, and a correlation analysis of the content of organic matter in soil was carried out. The results showed that PAHs in the surface soil pollution were mainly from 2 to 4 rings of low molecular PAHs, and the PAHs with high molecular were not detected. Each sampling point belongs to slight or moderate pollution and the overall assessment is moderate pollution, which is middle and low lever in comparison with soil data of central regions. The origin may be the low molecular PAHs of oil pollution along with the atmospheric transmission, but it cannot be completely excluded the possibility of fuel combustion pollution. No obvious correlation was found between the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and organic matter.

Objective To study the expression and significance of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The expression of miR-26a in 46 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) tissues and peritumoral tissues was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR).The intrahepatic eholangiocarcinoma cell line HCCC-9810 and RBE were transfected with miR 26a mimics and miR 26a inhibitors,respectively,by lipofectamine 2000.The growth curves were constructed by the CCK 8 method.The migration and invasion ability was demonstrated by wound healing and transwell assay.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.The potential mechanism was illustrated by Western blotting.Results For the 46 ICC tissues and peritumoral tissues,miR 26a levels were significantly higher in the tumor tissues than in the peritumoral tissues (P＜0.05).Vascular invasion,TNM Ⅲ～Ⅳ stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly associated with high miR 26a expression levels (P＜0.05),but gender,age,tumor amounts,tumor encapsulation,tumor diameter and tumor differentiation showed no significant association (P＞0.05).Enhanced cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability,accelerated G0/G1 phase to S phase transition,activated AKT by PTEN suppression were observed in HCCC-9810 cells with up regulation of miR-26a.Conversely,cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability was inhibited,G0/G1 phase was blocked and AKT was restrained by PTEN increase wkh down regulation of miR-26a in RBE cells.PTEN mRNA in versely correlated with the miR-26a level (r=-0.8272,P＜0.01).Patients with a high miR-26a expression had significantly poorer overall survival (P＜0.05).A high miR 26a exprcssion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P＜0.01).Conclusion Overexpression of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma correlated with clinicopath ological features and overall survival,and it potentially promoted tumor proliferation and metastasis through the PTEN/AKT pathway.

Objective Yangqing Chenfei Formula - To investigate the effect of (YCF) on epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) Methods in lung tissues of silicosis model rats. Specific pathogen free adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, tetrandrine group and YCF group, with eight rats in each group. The rats in the model group, tetrandrine group and YCF group were intratracheally injected with 1.00 mL of silica suspension with a mass concentration of 50.0 g/L, and the rats in the control group were given an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. On the 15th day after modeling, the tetrandrine group was given tetrandrine at a dose of 27.0 mg/kg body weight, the YCF group was given YCF with a dose of 8.91 g/kg body weight, while both the control group and model group were given 2.00 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Gavage wasperformed twice a day in the morning and evening for 14 days. On day 29 of the experiment, after evaluating the tidal volume, - functional residual volume (FRC) and vital capacity of rats in each group, lung tissues were collected, and hematoxylin eosin staining and Masson staining were performed to examine the histopathological changes, and the fibrosis score was evaluated. - - Hydroxyproline level was detected by colorimetry. The expression of type Ⅰ collagen (COL Ⅰ), type Ⅲ collagen (COL Ⅲ), - - - - - - E cadherin (E Cad), N cadherin (N Cad) and α smooth muscle actin (α SMA) protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. - The expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and fibroblast specific protein 1 (FSP 1) was detected by Results immunofluorescence. The lung structure was intact and the alveolar structure was normal in the control group. The alveolar structure was destroyed, the alveolar wall was thickened, and cellular nodules were observed/n the model group. The lung tissue lesions of rats in the tetrandrine group and YCF group were reduced compared with that in the model group, and there was no difference in the degree of lesions between the two groups. The tidal volume, FRC and vital capacity of rats in model P< - P< group decreased (all 0.05), the relative expression of E Cad protein in lung tissue decreased ( 0.05), the fibrosis score and - - - - the level of hydroxyproline, the protein relative expression of COL Ⅰ, COL Ⅲ, N Cad and α SMA in lung tissue increased (all P< - 0.05), while the fluorescence intensity of EpCAM protein decreased, and that of FSP 1 protein increased compared with the P< control group. The tidal volume, FRC and vital capacity of rats in tetrandrine and YCF groups increased (all 0.05), the fibrosis - - - score and the level of hydroxyproline, the protein relative expression of COL Ⅰ, N Cad and α SMA in lung tissue decreased (all P< - P< 0.05), the relative expression of E Cad protein in lung tissues increased ( 0.05), while the EpCAM protein fluorescence - intensity increased and FSP 1 protein fluorescence intensity decreased compared with the model group. The relative expression - P< Conclusion of N Cad protein in lung tissues of YCF group was lower than that of the tetrandrine group ( 0.05).
