Conclusion The technique of RFCA is safe, it causes significant minor myocardial injury and takes 3 months to develop from initially resembling coagulation necrosis to fibrosis. There is no evidence of new arrhythmia occurring for late electrophysiologic sequelae of RFC lesions.

Objective To explore the value of morphometric quantitative parameters in differential diagnosis of common thyroid benign and malignant tumors, and establish a data bank as a basis for diagnosing diseases with the help of computer. Methods Using PIPS-2020 image analysis system to make a morphometric analysis in 32 cases of thyroid benign papillary lesion (TBPL), 32 cases of thyroid papillary adenocarcinoma(TPAC), 27 cases of thyroid follicular adenoma(TFA) and 24 cases of thyroid follicular adenocarcinoma(TFAC). Results Among many morphometric quantitative parameters of nuclei, eight including area, circumferential length, diameter,volume,long diameter, short diameter, largest to smallest diameter ratio, and circular rate were selected to analyze. The eight morphometric quantitative parameters between TFA and TFAC had a highly significant difference(P0.01). Conclusion These nuclear parameters have some value in differentiation of common thyroid benign and malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the expressions of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R) and cytokeratin17 (CK17) in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and clinicopathological significance.Methods The immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting method were employed to detect the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 in normal thyroid tissues (control group,50 cases) and papillary thyroid cancer tissue (observation group,80 cases).Then the correlation between the expressions of GLP-1R and CK17 with pathological factors of thyroid cancer was analyzed.Results Low expression of GLP-1R was found in 22 cases (44.00 ％) of the control group,while GLP-1R was expressed in 77 cases(96.25 ％) of the observation group,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The expression of CK17 was positive in 8 cases(16.00％) of the control group,while 77 cases(96.25 ％) in the observation group were CK17 expression positive,and the difference between both groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The difference between GLP-1 positive expression and clinicopathologic factors had no statistical significance(P＞0.05).The difference between CK17 expression with sex and age had no statistical significance (P＞0.05),and was obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of thyroid neoplasms(P＜0.05).Conclusion GLP-1R and CK17 all are highly expressed in papillary thyroid cancer tissue and CK17 expression is obviously related with the tumor diameter,clinical stages and cervical node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer.

Objective To evaluate the status of self-efficacy and its influencing factors in adult patients with low vision,then explore an effective approach to improve their self-efficacy levels.Methods Seventy adult patients with low vision were sampled by random number table method.General social-demographic questionnaire and self-efficacy questionnaire were used to investigate these patients' general information and self-efficacy.Seventy pieces of questionnaires were issued and returned with the valid rate of 100％.Results The total score of self-efficacy in seventy adult patients with low vision was(16.25:±:1.93) points,92％ of patients had a low level of self-efficacy.The influencing factors of self-efficacy in adult patients with low vision were the attitude toward disease,mental status and gender.Conclusions The selfefficacy in patients with low vision was affected by many factors at different levels,so we should focus on main influencing factors to adopt corresponding nursing measures in order to improve self-efficacy of adult patients with low vision.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between fatty liver disease and liver metastases from colorectal cancer.Methods Eight hundred and ninety patients with colorectal cancer,who were submitted to hospital from 1993 to 2002 and had complete clinical data,were retrospectively analyzed.Of 890 patients,127 were diagnosed as fatty liver(FL)by ultrasonography,and the other 763 who were without fatty liver were served as controls(NFL).The clinical data including pathology,liver matastasis or mortality after surgery were analyzed.The survival rate and liver matastasis after surgery were followed up and statistically analyzed.Results The liver metastases was lower in FL group than that in NFL group(7 cases vs 102 cases,P=0.012).The tumor size was smaller in FL group than that in NFL group[(4.15±1.80)crn vs(4.77±2.25)cm,P=0.0016].The Dukes B(247/732,33.74%)and C(232/732,31.83%)patients were more common in NFL group,whereas Dukes A(41/121,33.61 %)and B(40/121,32.77%)were more common in FL group with significant difference(P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in 7-year survival rate between two groups who had been followed up(P=0.3024).Conclusion The lower incidence of liver metastases is found in FL group,which indicate that fatty liver disease may inhibit liver metastases from colorectal cancer by underlying mechanisms.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis, option of the surgical procedures, preven-tion and treatment of the complications in patients with pancreatic trauma.Methods All patients with pancreatic trauma during the past 20 years were studied retrospectively in respect of sex, age, cause of injury, grade by AAST, style of operation, therapeutic efficacy, complications and factors for death etc.Statistical analysis was made with Chi-square test.Results In all 148 cases of the present series, 132 underwent surgical interventions including simple suture or external drainage alone, distal pancre-atectomy, distal pancreaticojejunostomy or other internal drainage, diverticularization, Whipple's pro-cedure, and Damage Control Surgery (DCS) etc.Postoperative morbidity was 27.83% with a signifi-cant difference of the incidence of pancreatic fistula between pancreas grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ injuries and grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01).The mortality rate was 11.49%.The cause of the deaths was mainly massive bleed-ing due to severe associated injuries(76.47%).Among various grades, the difference of the mortality was not significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion To improve the survival rate, it is important to control massive hemorrhage from associated injuries precedes dealing with pancreas trauma.Selection of surgi-cal procedures should be based on whether the main duct is injured.The removing of devitalized tis-sue, adequate external and internal drainage are essential for treatment of pancreatic injuries.Early recognition of pancreatic injury and correct choice of surgical procedures may obviously decrease the in-cidence of postoperative complications.

Hydrophidae, one of the precious traditional Chinese medicines, is generally drily preserved to prevent corruption, but it is hard to identify the species of Hydrophidae through the appearance because of the change due to the drying process. The identification through analysis on gene barcode, a new technique in species identification, can avoid the problem. The gene barcodes of the 6 species of Hydrophidae like Lapemis hardwickii were aquired through DNA extraction and gene sequencing. These barcodes were then in sequence alignment and test the identification efficency by BLAST. Our results revealed that the barcode sequences performed high identification efficiency, and had obvious difference between intra- and inter-species. These all indicated that Cyt b DNA barcoding can confirm the Hydrophidae identification.
