Background and purpose:Thermal ablation (radiofrequency ablation, RFA/microwave ablation, MWA) is the most commonly used minimally invasive technique for the treatment of liver cancer. Real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new type of ultrasonic imaging technology, which was used in our study to monitor thermal ablation of liver cancer. This study aimed to investigate the stiffness change of liver cancer and that of surrounding liver parenchyma before and after thermal ablation, and to evaluate the application of SWE for monitoring thermal ablation for liver cancer.Methods:From Oct. 2014 to Apr. 2015, a total number of 36 patients, with 39 lesions, were treated with RFA or MWA and got complete response. SWE examination was performed before and after ablation. The SWE-mean, SWE-min, SWE-max, SWE-SD of lesions and the surrounding liver parenchyma were measured. Statistical analysis was made to compare the stiffness changes of liver cancer with those of the surrounding liver parenchyma before and after thermal ablation, and to determine whether there were differences between two different ablation modes.Results:Before and after ablation, the SWE-mean of lesions was (30.09±11.67) kPavs (52.11±17.56) kPa,SWE-min was (10.46±8.22) kPavs (20.57±11.42) kPa, SWE-max was (51.50±20.84) kPavs (88.54±27.75) kPa, SWE-SD was (10.63±4.30) kPavs (16.89±7.72) kPa; There were statistically signiifcant differences (P<0.05). Before and after ablation, the SWE-mean of surrounding liver parenchyma was (8.84±2.82) kPavs (8.91±2.78) kPa, SWE-min was (4.77±1.95) kPavs (4.69±1.90) kPa, SWE-max was (13.82±3.79) kPavs (14.34±3.97) kPa, SWE-SD was (3.24±1.32) kPavs (3.37±1.29) kPa; There were no statistically signiifcant differences (P>0.05). After ablation, the SWE-mean of RFA and MWA was (45.55±10.91) kPavs (60.59±20.99) kPa, SWE-min was (18.95±8.86) kPavs (25.93±10.93) kPa, SWE-max was (76.58±15.51) kPavs (104.01±32.59) kPa, SWE-SD was (13.82±3.52) kPavs (20.85±9.77) kPa; There were statistically signiifcant differences (P<0.05).Conclusion:SWE can quantitively analyze the stiffness of lesions. The ablation zone became stiffer after RFA or MWA, and the ablation zone of MWA was stiffer than that of RFA. Two kinds of ablation methods did not signiifcantly affect the stiffness of liver parenchyma around the lesion. SWE could potentially be used to monitor thermal ablation of liver cancer.

Objective To study the clinical and radiographic characteristics of complicated axis fractures combined with adjacent segment instability and explore reasonable surgical treatment strategy. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 21 patients with axis fractures treated from August 2003 to June 2009. There were 14 males and 7 females at mean age of 34 years. The treatment strategy was based on the fracture type and the stabilities of adjacent atlantoaxial joint and intervertebral C2/3.Treatment strategies included anterior C2/3 interbody discectomy and fusion, anterior cervical plate internal fixation, odontoid screw fixation, posterior C1-2 pedicle screw fixation, cervical lateral mass screw fixation or combined anteroposterior approach. Results All patients were immobilized in a hard collar for thee months and followed up for 6-36 months (average 12 months), which showed bony fusion and cervical stability, with no intraoperative surgery-related complications such as loosening, extrusion or breakage of fixation, vertebral artery injury, nerve damage, cerebrospinal fluid leakage or wound infection. Neurological recovery was observed in five patients. Conclusions For complicated atlas fractures, correct identification of fracture type and instability disturbance of adjacent atlantoaxial joint and C2/3 as well as active treatment can conduce to better effect.

Objective To explore whether IL-27 inhibited the pulmonary fibrosis through regulating the expression of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model. Methods Forty male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group(group A),bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis group(group B),bleomycin+IL-27 group(group C)and bleomycin+IL-27 antibody group(group D) with 10 in each. Five mice in each group were sacrificed on days 7 and 28 after with intratracheal bleomycin. TGF-βR1,Smad1 and Smad3 in right lung tissue were measured by Western Blot. Results 1. In the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model,the expression of TGF-βR1 was higher on days 7 and 28,which was inhibited by IL-27. 2. The expressions of p-Smad1 and p-Smad3 were highest in group D on days 7 and 28, but were lower in group C on day 7 than those in group B. Conclusion Exogenous IL-27 might alleviate pulmonary fibrosis through inhibiting the related protein phosphorylation in TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
