Objective:To discuss the X-ray digital tomosynthesis (Digital Tomosynthesis, DTS) application value in the occult fractures of the scaphoid. Methods: we selected 19 patients in our hospital in 2012 examined by DTS, who were negative or highly suspicious of occult fracture with X-ray examination, and spiral CT (SCT) three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions were applied in seven patients. Results:There were 17 patients with fracture by DTS.7 patients showed fracture by spiral CT(SCT) three-dimensional(3D) reconstructions. Conclusion:Compared with X-ray examination, the image quality of Digital Tomosynthesis (DTS) is higher, which can show occult fracture better. Compared with CT, DTS can show spatial location of bony anatomy more clearly and can obtain more detailed information. With the important extension and supplement of CT and MRI, the distal tomosynthesisis is worth to be generalized for lower radiation, lower price, higher positive rate and high quality of the pictures.

The water extract frem the style of Zea mays L.showed a therapeutic effect on diabetes caused by alloxan, and obviously reduced blood glucose level of heperglycemia induced by glucose or epinephrine in mice, but no affect in normal mice, when it was administrated orally. In addition, it could decrease cholesterin content.

Objective To investigate the expression of c-erbB-2 in breast cancer and its relationship with prognosis.Methods The expression of c-erbB-2 in breast cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry assays in 60 cases of breast cancer.Results The positive expression level of c-erbB-2 in invasive breast cancer was signifi-cantly higher than that in other kinds of breast cancer(P<0.01).The positive expression level of c-erbB-2 in the metastatic breast cancer with four lymph nodes was higher than in the early cancer with no lymph node involvement (P<0.01).The 10 years survival rate in negative expression of c-erbB-2 was higher than in positive expression(P<0.05).Conclusion c-erbB-2 is important for physicians to instruct the treatment of the breast cancer and judge the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of triptolide on asthmatic airway remodeling and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), acid neutrophil chemokines (eotaxin) impact. Methods The total of 30 mice with ovalbumin (OVA) model of asthma were randomly divided into three groups, control group, asthma group and triptolide group. After 24 hours of the last shot, lung tissue was stained Bronchial inflammatory cell infiltration was determined by using semi-quantitative method and calculate the proportion of goblet cells in airway epithelial cells. Hydroxyproline was determined by McMillan airway mucus score. The mRNA level and protein level of STAT6 and eotaxin in airway epithelium were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with asthma group, peribronchial inflammatory cells infiltration of triptolide group were reduced, which mucus index is (1.31 ± 0.23) and hydroxyproline is (284 ± 13) μmg/100 mg. it had a significant in asthma group (P < 0.05). Besides, the protein level and mRNA level of STAT6 and eotaxin were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, it was a positive correlation between STAT6 and eotaxin level in airway epithelial (r = 0.668, P < 0.05). Conclusion Triptolide can inhibit airway remodeling and might through the down regulation of STAT6 and eotaxin expression.

Objective To observe the curative effects of Jawei-Wendan decoction in treating acute exacerbation of COPD due to phlegm blocking in lung. Methods From July 2010 to June 2013, 66 enrolled cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 33 in each. Aside from receiving anti-infection and symptomatic treatment as the control group did, the treatment group was also given orally Jawei-Wendan decoction. The symptoms, pulmonary function and the variety of the laboratory indexing were observed before and after the treatment. Results ①The treatment group attained better curative effects(P<0.05) and got shorter symptomatic relief time of cough, expectoration and breathless(The T-value is respectively 16.770, 8.635, 16.762, P<0.05). ②After 7-days treatment, the cure rate of the treatment group was 63.64%, and the control group was 39.39%. Their difference was conspicuous(P<0.05). The total effective rate in treatment group was 96.97%, which was 90.91% in control group. Their difference was inconspicuous(P>0.05).③The pulmonary function indices increased significantly in the treatment group[The values of FEV1、FVC and FEV1/FVC% are (1.41±0.46)L, (2.18±0.63)L and (66.41±6.33)% before treatment, which were (2.21± 0.55)L, (2.83±0.53)L and (77.37±7.64)%after treatment, P<0.01]. A comparison of the two groups showed significant differences regarding the pulmonary function indices(P<0.05). Conclusion Jawei-Wendan decoction had good curative effect in treating acute exacerbation of COPD due to phlegm blocking in lung.

Objective To evaluate MRI in diagnosis and follow-up of Achilles tendon rupture. Methods From April 2003 to May 2005, 24 cases of closed Achilles tendon rupture were examined in our department with MRI. It was performed through sagittal T1WI, T2WI, GE-STIR and axial TME imaging. Four cases were followed up with MRI after 4 to 8 weeks. Results MRI could determinate the severity and exact location of Achilles tendon rupture by demonstrating signal changes of Achilles tendon. In this series, complete rupture of Achilles tendon mostly occurred at the median part, with augmentation and high signal on T2WI. MRI demonstrated high signal on T2WI in partial rupture of Achilles tendon. The signal intensity in the four cases followed up by MRI was shown to decrease. Conclusion MRI is a valuable tool for clinical diagnosis and follow-up of Achilles tendon, because it provides enough information through signal changes at the tendon.
