Objective To establish an animal model of high-iodine and low-protein in Wistar rats,and to observe the effect of combined excess-iodine and low-protein diet on growth,metabolism and morphological changes in thyroid.Methods According to body weight[(110 ± 10)g] and sex(half male and half female),one hundred and ninety-two Wistar rats,1 month after weaning,were randomly divided into ① normal iodine control group (NI),② 10-fold excess-iodine group (10HI),③ 50-fold excess-iodine group (50HI),④ 100-fold excess-iodine group (100HI),⑤ low-protein control group (LC),⑥ low-protein and l 0-fold excess-iodine group (L10HI),⑦low-protein and 50-fold excess-iodine group (L50HI),⑧ low-protein and 100-fold excess-iodine group(L100HI).Twenty-four rats were in each group,with the experimental period of 6 months.The iodine content of NI and LC groups was 4.65 μg/d; 10HI,50HI and 100HI groups were 46.50,232.50 and 465.00 μg/d,respectively.The animal's body weight,water and feed consumption were recorded weekly.At the end of 60,120,180 days,urine and blood samples were collected from eight rats in each group.Urinary iodine was tested by arseni cerium catalytic spectrophotometry; serum iodine was tested by the method of chloric acid.Histological change of the thyroid gland was observed by transmission electron microscopy and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining at the end of 6 months; apoptosis of thyroid was tested by terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) method.Results At the end of 4,8,16,18,22 and 24 weeks,the differences of body mass of rats among groups were statistically significant(F =4.26,3.75,4.98,4.09,3.28,3.95,all P ＜ 0.05).At the end of 60,120,180 days,the differences of iodine concentration in urine and blood among groups were statistically significantly (H =5.37,6.03,all P ＜ 0.05).Light microscopy showed that thyroid follicular epithelial cells became flattened,and follicles became distended with colloid following increasing of iodine concentration.Electron microscopy showed increased glial vesicles,condensation of nuclear chromatin,karyopyknosis,and karyolysis with increasing of iodine concentration.The differences of apoptotic indexes among groups were statistically significant (F =4.59,P ＜ 0.01).The apoptotic indexes of L50HI and L100HI groups [(21.50 ± 5.20)‰,(26.70 ± 6.40)‰] were higher than those of 50HI and 100HI groups [(11.20 ± 4.30)‰,(19.40 ± 4.80)‰,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Excessiodine and low-protein can cause growth retardation,abnormal iodine metabolism,and thyroid follicular epithelium damage in Wistar rats.

Objective To compare the efficacy of sequential therapy combined with probiotics,pure sequen-tial therapy and standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication.Methods Selected the clinical data of 240 patients admitted.The 240 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups.Group A received standard triple thera-py,group B received sequential therapy and Group C received sequential therapy in combination with probiotics. Then,we compared the eradication rate,the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms before and after treatment,and the side effects among 3 groups.Results The eradication rate was 72.5% in groupA,87.5% in group B,and 96.3% in group C.The eradication rate of group C was significantly better than group A and group B (χ2 =18.531,P <0.001).There was no difference in the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms before treatment(F =0.206,P >0.05),but they all significantly decreased after treatment among 3 groups(P <0.05),with group C a better result(F =25.581,P <0.05).The side effects of 3 groups were 16.3%,13.8%,3.8%,respectively.There were a significantly differencec between group C and the other 2 groups(χ2 =7.011,P =0.030).Conclusion Sequential therapy in combination with probiotics can achieve a higher eradication rate,improve the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and decrease side effects.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of determining the maximum comfortabl level by using the acoustically evoked stapedius reflex threshold via cochlear implant. METHODS Eleve cases of Nucleus C124 cochlear implant recipients operated in our hospital were selected(8-39 years old, who can decide TIC value by themselves with the postoperative time ranging from device initiation to 1 year after operation),of those four cases were diagnosed as bilateral large vestibular aqueduct syndrome,1 case as common cavity dysplasia,.neural response telemetry of these five patients with inner ear dysplasia were very high or barely measurable.Real-MCL level and acoustically evoked stapedius reflex threshold under activated condition were measured respectively. The stimulating sound was 110dB of white noise.RESULTS The two group values of ASRT and real-MCL were found to be consistant .There is no significant difference statistically (P＞0.05). The thresholds of ASR increase with the increasing of real-MCL at the beginning of device initiation. CONCLUSION The acoustically evoked stapedius reflex threshold may reflect (ASRT) the maximum comfortable stimulation level under activated conditions in patients with cochlear implants.it is simple, reliable and may be used to determine the MCL of child cochlear implanted patients.

Objective To summarize the common types and clinical characteristics of ureter disease;which can increase manipulation difficulties and adverse events during rigid ureteroscopic procedures. Methods From Jan 2001 to Dec 2010,our team performed 317 rigid ureteroscopic Drocedures for ureteroscopic examination or treatment;including 60 difficult procedures(34 male and 26 female).The mean age of the patients was 37 years (range,18 to 71).The ureteral diseases were classifted into five types according to the pathological characteristics:Type Ⅰ calculous stenosis,Type Ⅱ neoplastic stenosis;Type Ⅲ non-congenital stenosis,Type Ⅳ congenital stenosis,Type Ⅴ expansion of tortuous ureters.The operative time,complications,and conversion to open surgery were evaluated,and the therapeutic methods were analyzed. Results Of the 60 difficuhly-manipulated procedures,the mean manipulated time was 75 min (range,31 to 200).Intra-operative complications occurred in 9 procedures,including 4 cases of mucosal bleeding,2 cases of submucosaI false passage and 3 cases of ureteral perforation.Eleven procedures were converted to open surgery. In five procedures only a double J tube was inserted for drainage due to the difficulty of entering the ureter.Fiftyfive patients were followed up for 17 months (range,3 to 110);48 patients were cured,5 patients improved and 2 patients were unchanged. Conclusions The five types of ureteral disease can increase operative difficulties and risks of rigid ureteroscopic procedures.We should be cautious during surgery and should stop manipulation or convert to other surgeries if necessary.
