OBJECTIVE: To explore the applications of imaging examination on rib fracture sites in forensic identification. METHODS: Features including the sites, numbers of the processed imaging examination and the first radiological technology at diagnosis in 56 cases of rib fractures from 163 injuries were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The detection rate of the rib fractures within 14 days was 65.6%. The initial detection rate of anterior rib fracture proceeded by X-ray was 76.2%, then 90.5% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 66.7% and 80.0%, respectively. The initial detec- tion rate of rib fracture in axillary section proceeded by X-ray was 27.6%, then 58.6% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 54.3% and 80.4%, respectively. The initial detection rate of posterior rib fracture proceeded by X-ray was 63.6%, then 81.8% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 50.0% and 70.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION It is important to pay attention to the use of combined imaging examinations and the follow-up results. In the cases of suspicious for rib fracture in axillary section, CT examination is suggested in such false X-ray negative cases.

Objective:To retrospectively investigate the efficiency of Jinlong capsule combined with transarterial chemoemboli-zation for the treatment of advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: Sixty advanced pancreatic carcinoma patients between January 2009 and May 2013 were randomly assigned into the experimental group (n=30, Jinlong capsule combined with transarterial chemoem-bolization) and the control group (n=30, transarterial chemoembolization). Both groups were subjected to superselective pancreas artery chemotherapy with GEMZAR at a dose of 1.0 g/m2. Results:The overall response rate (CR+PR) was 53.3%and the control rate was 70%(CR+PR+SD) (CR 0, PR 16, SD 5) in the experimental group, whereas those in the control group were 36.7%and 56.7%(CR 0, PR 11, SD 6), respectively. The short-term therapeutic efficacy was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). No significant difference in adverse reactions, including digestive reactions and myelosuppression, almost I-II degree, was observed be-tween the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in the Karnofsky performance status was observed between the two groups af-ter the treatment (P<0.05). The 24-month survival rate of the experimental group was 50.0%, whereas that of the control group was 33.3%(P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of Jinlong capsule combined with transarterial chemoembolization for the treatment of advanced pancreatic carcinoma showed good clinical effects. The patients also showed good tolerance to this treatment.

Objective To explore application value of blood flow ratio indexes in the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT) with different thyroid functions.Methods One hundred and four patients who were diagnosed clinically as HT were enrolled in the study.The patients were classified into three groups according to thyroid functions:the hyperthyroidism group,the hypothyroidism group and the euthyroidism group.Thirty-two volunteers with normal thyroid functions were enrolled as control group.All the cases were examined with ultrasound and five blood flow ratio indexes were calculated automatically.Their differences in the four groups were compared.Results ①Among the five blood flow ratio indexes,three indexes(mean ratio,maxratio and minratio) had significant differences between each two groups(P ＜ 0.001),the other two indexes didn't have any differences among the four groups.②Two receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves on meanratio were drew:a)HT with hyperthyroidism and HT with euthyroidism;b) HT with euthyroidism and HT with hypothyroidism.The cutoff value as a result of the ROC analysis of HT with hyperthyroidism and HT with euthyroidism was 0.235 with the maxim of specificity and sensitivity.The cutoff value of HT with euthyroidism and HT with hypothyroidism was 0.113 with the maxim of specificity and sensitivity.Both Bland-Altamn scatter diagrams and high intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) showed that blood flow ratio indexes have high repeatability.Conclusions Blood flow ratio indexes are promising quantitative indexes in reflecting the vascularity of thyroid parenchyma,and they are helpful in the differential diagnosis of HT with different thyroid functions.

Objective To investigate the role of endothelial progenitor cells ( EPCs ) transplantation in rats with sepsis induced by endotoxin ( lipopolysaccharides, LPS ). Methods Sixty clean grade Sprague-Dawley ( SD ) rats with genetic background were divided into three groups according to random number table method:control group, model group, and EPCs transplantation group, with 20 rats in each group. The sepsis model was reproduced by intravenous delivery of LPS 5 mg/kg. Rats in control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline. EPCs were isolated, and cultured and identified were fluorescently labeled with the green fluorescent protein ( GFP ) adenoviral transfection method. The EPC transplantation group was injected with LPS, then a fluorescently labeled EPCs suspension was injected via the tail vein 1 hour later. The expression of fluorescent markers of EPCs was detected with both small animal in vivo imaging instrument and frozen section. Seven days after transplantation, abdominal aorta blood was collected to determine interleukins ( IL-6 and IL-10 ) in peripheral blood with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ), and the lung, liver, and kidney tissues were harvested, the wet/dry ratio of the lung ( W/D ) was calculated, and hematoxylin and eosin ( HE ) staining was performed to observe, the change in histopathology. Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4 ) mRNA expression in lung, liver, and kidney tissues was determined with real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ). Results The positive rate of EPCs cells with double marking of CD133 and CD34 was 99.0% at the 5th generation of subculture by using flow cytometry. After the transplantation of EPCs labeled with the green fluorescent protein, the appearance of fluorescence indicated that EPCs were mainly localized in the chest, and a stronger fluorescence was observed near the blood vessels. EPCs transplantation could significantly reduce the inflammatory cell infiltration and cell damage in lung, liver, and kidney tissue in septic rats. Compared with control group, the expression of IL-6 and IL-10 in the peripheral blood, W/D ratio, and TLR4 mRNA in lung, liver, and kidney were increased significantly in the model group. Compared with model group, the expressions of IL-6 and IL-10 in the peripheral blood were significantly reduced after EPCs transplantation [ IL-6 (μg/L ):2.127±0.118 vs. 2.664±0.438, IL-10 ( ng/L ): 24.5±3.9 vs. 31.5±3.8, both P < 0.01 ]. EPCs transplantation reduced the W/D ratio of lung, liver and kidney tissues ( lung: 4.68±0.24 vs. 5.48±0.15, liver: 3.33±0.11 vs. 3.94±0.09, kidney: 4.08±0.20 vs. 4.84±0.21, all P < 0.05 ], and down-regulated the expression of TLR4 mRNA ( ×103, lung: 782±131 vs. 1 136±126, liver: 39.1±14.0 vs. 69.2±8.7, kidney: 52.2±15.2 vs. 83.5±17.1, all P < 0.01 ). Conclusions EPCs can enter the lung, liver and kidney tissues of the rat successfully after transplantation of EPCs via vein. EPCs transplantation can down-regulate pro-inflammatory process, help to recover the balance of pro-and anti-inflammatory processes, alleviate the damage to the lung, liver, and kidney tissue significantly.

Objective To determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane in Chinese neonates.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ neonates,aged ≤ 28 days,with normal body weight,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were enrolled in the study.Anesthesia was induced with inhalation of 6.00％ sevoflurane in oxygen.The infants were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.The inhaled concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to achieve the preset end-tidal concentration and maintained at this level for 20 min.Skin incision was then performed.The concentration of sevoflurane was determined by modified Dixon's up-and-down method.The initial end-tidal concentration of sevofluren was 3.00％.Each time the concentration increased/decreased by 0.25 ％ in the next infant according to the infant's response.Successful skin incision was defined as no body movement during skin incision.The MAC,ED95 and 95 ％ confidence interval of sevoflurane were calculated using logistic regression analysis.Results The MAC and ED95 (95 ％ confidence interval) of sevoflurane required for successful skin incision were 2.82％ (2.66％-2.98％) and 3.39％ (2.89％-3.89％),respectively,in neonates.Conclusion The MAC of sevoflurane is 2.82 ％ in Chinese neonates and lower than the present reference values previously described in foreign reports.
