Owing to the specific distribution and pathology of intracranial giant aneurysm, the parent artery must frequently be interdicted. In order to avoid cerebral ischemia, many neurosurgeons create effective techniques of extracranial intracranial artery bypass(EIAB) for the treatment of intracranial giant aneurysm. In this review, the author summarized advances in the application of EIAB for the treatment of intracranial giant aneurysm.

Objective To explore the imaging features of pediatric splenic primary solitary tumor. Methods The medical imaging appearances of 6 children with splenic primary solitary tumor conifrmed by surgery and pathology from January 2010 to August 2015 were retrospectively studied. The related literatur were reviewed. Results In 6 children, 2 children of cystic lesions, ultrasound showed anechoic mass, CT scan showed low density mass, without change after contrast, pathologically conifrmed as congenital cyst;2 children’s ultrasound showed solid echo, color Doppler ultrasound explored the blood lfow signals, contrast CT showed the lower strength around the splenic parenchyma, pathologically conifrmed as splenic lymphangioma;one child’s unltrasound showed echo mass with rich signals of blood lfow, MRI scans showed T1WI, T2WI and other signals of lumps, with little homogenity after contrast, pathologically conifrmed as splenic hamartoma;one child’s ultrasound cannot distinguish tumor boundaries, contrast CT scan showed concentric filling reinforcement, pathologically confirmed as hemangioma. Conclusion Splenic primary solitary tumor in children is rare. There are no speciifc clinical characteristics. The image ifndings can deifne the locations and help the differential diagnosis. The ifnal diagnosis depends on pathology.

Objective To study the impact of temperature, light, nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and microcystin-LR production of Microcystis aeraginosa strain under laboratory conditions. Methods M.aeraginosa strain was cultivated in BG-11 medium. Growth was determined by counting cell, while microcystin-LR was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results M.aeraginosa strain had a biggest growth rate at temperature of 25 ℃ and light intensity of 3 000 lx, while microcystin-LR production contents reached maximum at 20 ℃ and 5 000 lx respectively. Under the phosphorus-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa amount and mircrocystin-LR content increased by nitrogen concentration and reached the peak when the nitrogen concentration was 650.0 ?mol/L. But higher concentration of nitrogen could probably restrain the cell growth and toxin production. Under the nitrogen-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa strain grew slowly at phosphorus concentration of 1.43 ?mol/L, but had a higher growth rate when phosphorus concentration was 6.50 ?mol/L. No significant change was found with the increase of phosphorus concentration. And almost similar contents of microcystin-LR produced by M. aeraginosa were observed at different phosphorus concentrations. Positive correlations between total microcystin-LR concentrations and chlorophyll-a contents and M. aeraginosa cell densities were found. Conclusion The optimum conditions for growth and toxin production of M. aeraginosa are not the same. Phosphorus is a probable limitation nutrient factor, and a low concentration will satisfy the growth and toxin production of M. aeraginos. The N∶P atomic ratio at 100∶1 was determined as the optimum for growth and toxin production. The total microcystin-LR concentration can be forecasted by M. aeraginosa cell density or chlorophyll-a content.

ObjectiveTo study the diagnosis and trea tm ent of bilateral renal angiomyolipomas.MethodsThe clin ic data of 13 cases of bilateral renal angiomyolipoms were reviewed.There were 2 male and 11 female patients with an average age of 42.Preoperative ultrasonogra phy and CT scanning have been undertaken in all.Renal angiomyolipoma was diagnos ed in 11 and cancer nodules could not be ruled out in the other 2.Unilateral and bilateral renal sparing surgerys were carried out in 5 and 8 cases respectively .ResultsAll cases were examined with rapid frozen sect ion analysis at operations.The renal function of all the patients except 1 was n ormal after operation except 1 with a temporary rise in Scr (350 ?mol/L).The pa tients have been followed up 1 to 4 years after discharging from hospital and th e renal function became normal in all.No recurrence was found.Conc lusionsUltrasonography and CT are important methods to diagnose ang iomyolipoma with specific manifestations.Rapid frozen section analysis at operat ions is helpful to diagnose and to choose the correct surgical technique.Attenti on should be paid to reserve the renal tissues as much as possible and renal fun ction should be protected properly.

BACKGROUND: Cardiospecific proteins of the troponin-tropomyosin complex in the contractile system of the cardiomyocytes have challenged creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) as the "gold standard" for the early biochemical detection of acute myocardial injury.OBJECTIVE: To investigate cardiac troponin Ⅰ messager RNA (cTnI-mRNA) in peripheral blood and its clinical values in diagnosis of patients with myocardial injury.DESIGN: A basic and observational study for set up a method to analyze cTnI-mRNA.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital, Nantong University.MATERIALS: The project was accomplished from May 2003 to May 2005 in Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology, and Department of Pathology, Affiliated Hospital, Nantong University. The cTnI-mRNA was detected from blood by a nested PCR assay, and its clinical values as a sensitive myocardial diagnostic marker were confirmed in patients with myocardial injury.METHODS: Pathologic features and microstructure of cardiac myocytes were examined by H&E staining or electron microscopy. The cTnI-mRNA was extracted from blood and synthesized to cDNA through random primers and reverse transcriptase, and amplified by a nested PCR assay, and its clinical values as a myocardial diagnostic marker were investigated in patients with myocardial injury.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Microstructure of cardiomyocytes, sensitivity of analysis method and diagnostic values.RESULTS: Microstructure of cardiomyocytes with mitochondria swell,rupture, vacancy-like denaturation, nucleus abnormality, and chromatin condensed were observed by electron microscopy. The cTnI-mRNA fragments from heart and blood were successfully amplified and the sensitivity was 2 pg/μL. The product sequences from tissues or blood were confirmed by sequencing. The cTnI-mRNA from cardiac myocytes was found that it present in blood plasma and not in circulating nucleus cell. The incidence of blood cTnI-mRNA of chronic cardiomyopathy was significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05) than that of serum enzymatic patterns or cTnI quality,respectively.CONCLUSION: The analysis of blood cTnI-mRNA is a sensitive marker for diagnosis and monitoring of myocardial injury.

Objective Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare malignant small round cell tumor .This paper aimed to study the clinical and pathological features of primary pulmonary primitive neuroectodermal tumor . Methods We collected 2 cases of primary pulmonary PNET to review the clinical and pathological features .Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect immune mark-ers, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was applied to detect EWS translocation. Results 2 patients were aged 33 years and 17 years.Microscopically, the tumor cell was composed of single small round cells in diffusion or in distribution of sheets or beams , with scant cytoplasm , oval or spindle-shaped nucleus , high mitotic count .Irregular tumor necrosis scattered in the tumor along with visi-ble rosette structure.Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were positive for CD 99, FLI-1 and Syn, while CKpan, EMA, Desmin, CgA, TTF1, CD34 were negative.EWS/FLI1 translocations were detected positive in both the cases .2 patients died 7 months and 32 months after operation , respectively . Conclusion Primary pulmonary PNET is rare , so the selection of appropriate im-mune markers (CD99, FLI-1, Syn) and FISH for the detection of EWS translocation helps to improve the accuracy of diagnosis .

Objective:The aim of the current study was to investigate the expression of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B) and metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in the small intestine and to explore the potential role of NF-?B and MMP-9 in the damage of gut mucosal barrier after traumatic brain injury.Methods:The trauma was produced by a free-falling weight on the exposed dura of right parietal lobe.The rats were randomly divided into control group and traumatic brain injury groups at hours 3,12,24 and 72,and on day 7.NF-?B binding activity in the small intestine was studied by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA),and the expression of MMP-9 was studied by immunohistochemistry.Results:The results showed that NF-?B binding activity and MMP-9 expression in the small intestine was progressively increased,reached the maximum at 72 h and kept at high level up to 7 d after TBI.Concomitant upregulation of NF-?B~()and MMP-9 was observed.MMP-9 positively immunostained cells were mainly located at villous interstitium,lamina propria,crypt and submucosal layer,including endothelial cells,lymphocytes and neutrophils.Conclusion:It was concluded that cortical contusion trauma could induce a concomitant and persistent upregulation of NF-?B binding activity and MMP-9 expression in the small intestine which might play a central role in the~()damage of gut mucosal barrier.
