Objective:To observe the effect of Tangshenning on renal function and LOX-1 mRNA expression in the kidney of early diabetic nephropathy rats model. Methods:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was made with high fat diet, STZ and unilateral ne-phregtomy. After the 12-week drug intervention, the rats were sacrificed, the kidneys were removed and the mRNA expressions of LOX-1 in the kidney were observed by the method of RT-PCR. Results:Early diabetic nephropathy rats model was successfully made by the triple-modeling method. The mRNA expression of LOX-1 in the kidney was significantly increased, and Tangshenning could low-er the expression of LOX-1 in the kidney in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:The abnormal expression of LOX-1 could be one of the mechanisms for diabetic nephropathy. Tangshening has good kidney protective effect through decreasing LOX-1 abnormal expression in the kidneys, which deserves further research.

Objective To study the value of 256-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in internal thoracic artery. Methods The angiographic images of 107 patients who were suspected thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases were retrospectively ana-lyzed. The running rule and branches of internal thoracic artery on both sides were observed. Each side of the internal thorac-ic artery was divided into 3 sections according to the running rule. The lumen diameter, vessel length and its branches were measured in three segmental vascular of the internal thoracic artery. The lumen diameter of the diaphragmatic artery diame-ter,and the distance between internal thoracic artery and each border of the sternum were also measured. Results Both sides of the internal thoracic and diaphragmatic arteries were shown in 107 patients (100%). There were significant differenc-es in vascular lumen diameter of intrathoracic artery of both sides (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between both sides of the corresponding segments (P>0.05). The left internal thoracic artery was significantly longer in the left side than that of right side (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the diameter of diaphragmatic arteries and the distance between the internal thoracic artery and the sternal edge of two sides (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of 256-slice spiral CT angiography can clearly show the running rule and anatomical features of internal thoracic artery ,and provide a relatively important clinical information.

Objective To evaluation the anatomy relationship between thoracic artery and coronary artery by using 256 layer spiral CT angiography. Methods The angiographic images of thoracic aortic and coronary artery angiography were re?vealed in 200 patients with chest pain. Values of the major branch length, diameter, length of the aorta-coronary artery by?pass on both sides of the thoracic artery and coronary artery were measured. Results The diameter of thoracic artery was (2.52±0.38) mm, and the length of thoracic artery from the starting point to terminal was (190.12 ±1.90) mm. There were no significant differences in the thoracic artery lumen diameter and length between both sides. The inner diameters of left anteri?or descending coronary artery, left circumflex, diagonal branch, right coronary artery and the posterior interventricular branch were (2.82 ±0.25), (2.60±0.12), (2.22±0.25), (3.02±0.27) and (2.35±0.35) mm respectively. There were no significant differences in thoracic artery diameters except for the right coronary artery diameter, which was higher than that of the thorac?ic artery. About free transplantation the length from 2cm above in the ascending aorta starting to the halfway point of anterior descending coronary artery, to the atrioventricular node along the left circumflex way, to the atrioventricular node along the right coronary artery and from the atrioventricular node to halfway point of posterior interventricular branch was shorter than that of thoracic artery (P<0.05). About situ transplantation in addition to the length from the thoracic artery start department to the point of anterior descending compared with the thoracic artery length, there were no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The length from the thoracic artery start department to the left-hand atrioventricular node, to the right coronary artery atrio?ventricular node was higher than that of the thoracic artery length (P<0.05). Conclusion The branches of internal thoracic artery and coronary artery are similar. About situ transplantation is suitable for the wall blood vessels before the heart. With free thoracic artery transplantation, its length can meet any bridging from the ascending aorta to the coronary arteries.

Objective:To investigate the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma (I-HCA).Methods:The contrast-enhanced ultrasound features I-HCA of 28 cases from April 2009 to November 2019 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed, including arterial phase enhancement pattern, the homogeneity of enhancement, subcapsular enhancement, and the internal perfusion defect. All I-HCA lesions were divided into >5 cm group( n=9) and ≤5 cm group( n=19), the CEUS features between the two groups were compared. Results:All I-HCA lesions were hyper-enhanced in the arterial phase, among which 39.3% (11/28) showed diffuse filling, 39.3%(11/28) showed centripetal filling, and 21.4%(6/28) showed centrifugal filling pattern. Twenty-five percent (7/28) of I-HCAs showed heterogeneous enhancement, 10.7% (3/28) revealed unenhanced areas within the lesions. Subcapsular vessels were observed in 67.7 (21/31) of I-HCA lesions. Heterogeneous enhancement and unenhanced areas were more frequently detected in lesions >5 cm ( P=0.020, 0.026, respectively), while there was no difference in the enhancement pattern and subcapsular vessels between the two groups ( P>0.05). Inportal venous phase, 42.9%(12/28) of I-HCAs showed hypo-enhancement, and 57.1%(16/28) of lesions showed washout in late phase. According to "hyper-enhancement in arterial phase, sustained hyper- or iso-enhancement in portal venous and late phase" by CEUS, the diagnostic accuracy of benign lesion was 42.9%(12/28). According to any of hyper-enhancement pattern in arterial phase, subcapsular vascular enhancement, and sustained hyper- or iso-enhancement in portal venous and late phase, the diagnostic accuracy of I-HCA was 71.4% (20/28). Conclusions:CEUS is valuable in the diagnosis of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the expression of procollagen gene in fracture callus, and to search for the technique of in situ hybridization for undecalcified skeletal tissue. METHODS: In situ hybridization of procollagen gene expression was performed on the undecalcified cryosections of rat fracture callus at 7, 14, and 28 d. RESULTS: The hybridization signals achieved were clear and easy to be localized with high specificity. On the 7th day, the expressions of pro alpha1 (III) in fibroblasts and some chondrocyte-like cells were dominant; and at the end of second week high expression of type-II procollagen mRNA was observed in chondrocytes. At the end of fourth week, the cartilaginous callus was almost all replaced by woven bone tissue, and some type-I procollagen mRNA positive osteoblasts and hypertrophic chondrocytes were found scattering in the woven bone and remnants of cartilaginous callus. CONCLUSIONS: The modified method employed in this study is easier, quicker, and more sensitive with high specificity than the conventional tec hnique for in situ hybridization of procollagen gene expression of decalcified rat fracture callus. The phenomenon of shared phenotype expression, which was demonstrated among cells engaged in fracture healing, indicates an important approach to reveal the mechanism of the origin, differentiation, and orientation of cells.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features and treatment of thyroid microcarcinoma (TMC). Methods From January 1997 to December 2006,311 patients who underwent surgery and defined as TMC(tumor size≤1 cm)were enrolled. Results TMC was identified incidentally by frozen pathologic examination on thyroidectomy specimens in tentative benign goiters in 181 patients; another 130 patients with clinically detectable primary tumors or suspected nodal metastases were grouped to as clinically overt TMC. The clinically overt TMC had a higher incidence of bilateral multifocal tumors (18.5%vs.9.4%,P=0.03),and cervical lymph node metastases(27.7%vs.10.5%,P=0.000)than that in clinically occult TMC group. Conclusion TMC may vary considerably in clinical and biologic behaviors between these two subtypes: clinically overt and occult. Lobectomy for single lesion, total or near total thyroidectomy for multifocal with central compartment nodal dissection should be performed, lateral nodal dissection was not carried out unless US or physical examination detected nodal metastases. Lobetomy, subtotal or more limited thyroidectomy for occult TMC, diagnosed incidentally following thyroid surgery for initially tentative benign thyroid disease, could all be treatment of choice depending on the preference of surgeons.
