Objective To assess the cesarean section scar morphology and size with transvaginal ultrasound and the healing of incision diverticulum after the repairing operation.Methods Forty cases with cesarean section scar defects needed repairing operation,40 cases of cesarean section without symptoms and 40 cases of vaginal delivery were involved.The scar condition and measured the size of cesarean section defects were observed.For the 40 cases needed repairing operation,the healing of the scar and measured the size of the defects were observed which still existed before and after the surgery.For the transvaginal delivery cases the thickness of uterine isthmus were measured.Results After the scar defects repairing operation,there were 9 cases who still had diverticulum,but the defects were smaller than that before operation (P <0.05).The symptoms were relieved.Among the 40 asymptomatic cases,there were 1 1 cases had defects,but the diverticulum were smaller than that of needed operation patients (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The transvaginal ultrasound is a noninvasive and convenient method to observe the cesarean section scar.

Objective To observe the expression of fibroblast specific protein-1 (S100A4) in human lung cancer,and investigate roles of S100A4 in the infiltration and metastasis of lung cancer. Methods Immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of S100A4 in 50 lung cancer tissues and 6 normal lung tissues. Results The expression of S100A4 was up-regulated in lung cancer tissues.Significant differences of the expression rates of S100A4 was found between lung cancer and normal groups (P

Objective To investigate the change of inferior vena cava pressure (IVCP) in type Ⅱ Budd-Chiari syndrome patients undergoing atrial caval shunting and its relationship with postoperative artificial blood vessel (ABV) patency rate.Methods We recruited 209 patients who had undergone atrial caval shunting for type Ⅱ Budd-Chiari syndrome and evaluated IVCP,right atrial pressure (RAP) and free portal vein pressure (PFP) before and after ABV opening.Presure changes were compared by t-test.These patients were followed up by color Doppler ultrasonograthy for ABV patency.The correlation between IVCP and postoperative ABV patency were analyzed By Kaplan-Meier test.Results IVCP (t =0.56,P ＜ 0.05)and PFP (t =0.72,P ＜ 0.05) decreased and RAP increased significantly after ABV opening (t =0.52,P ＜ 0.05).Follow up result showed that ABV patency rate was lower in patients with IVCP descent ＜ 1 kPa than those with IVCP descent ＞ 1 kPa (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Significant IVCP descent correlates with high ABV patency rate after atrial caval shunting in type Ⅱ Budd-Chiari syndrome patients.

Objective To investigate the influence of diameter of liver outflow vein on portal hypertension and artificial blood vessel (ABV) patency rate in Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) patients undergoing atrial caval shunting (ACS).Methods We recruited 209 patients,who had undergone ACS for Ⅱ type of BCS.Those patients with unobstructed liver outflow vein were included into group A and the patients with stenosed liver outflow vein into group B.Free portal pressure (FPP) was measured before and after ABV opening.Portal vein velocity (Vpv),liver function,spleen volume and function,esophagogastric varices and ABV patency were evaluated postoperatively.Results After ABV opening,FPP decreased significantly in group A than group B (t =10.45,P ＜ 0.05).Vpv accelerated significantly in group A 2 weeks after operation than group B (t =12.81,P ＜ 0.05).Apparent improvement of liver function,spleen function and esophagogastric varices and reduction of spleen volume were observed in group A patients than group B patients (P ＜ 0.05).Reduction of esophagogastric varices in group A was better than in group B (x2 =44.73,P ＜ 0.05).By postoperative follow up,ABV patency of group A was higher than group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patency status of liver outflow vein significantly influences postoperative portal vein pressure and closely correlats to ABV patency rate after ACS.

Objective To determine the expression of indole-2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) in human acute leukemia,and to investigate its correlations with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in acute leukemia.Methods The expression of IDO in protein and RNA levels was detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative RT-PCR,respectively,and the correlations of IDO with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M5 were analyzed.Results The positive rate of IDO protein was 63.3 ％ (38/60) in human acute leukemia,while it in AML (34/49,69.4 ％),especially in AML-M5 patients (29/35,82.9 ％),was significantly higher than that of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (4/11,36.4 ％).The expression of IDO protein in healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was negative.The RNA expression level of IDO in AML-M5 or non AML-M5 patients were significantly higher than that of healthy people (P ＜ 0.001),and AML-M5 patients had significantly higher IDO RNA level than that in non AML-M5 patients (P ＜ 0.05).The IDO gene expression was not correlated with sex,age and drug sensitivity,while it was closely related with these factors in the patients without complication of pulmonary infection.IDO could not act as an independent prognostic marker.Conclusion The expression of IDO in AML-M5 patients is significantly higher than that in non AML-M5 patients and healthy people.The positive expression of IDO is associated with poor prognosis of AML-M5 patients,but it is not an independent poor prognostic indicator.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between expressions of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and B7-H1 with clinico-pathological features and their prognostic significance in pancreatic cancer (PC).Method95 patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy for PC were studied.The IDO and B7-H1 expressions in tissue specimens were determined by immunohistochemistry.ResultsIDO and B7-H1 expressions were higher in pancreatic carcinoma tissues than in normal pancreatic tissues (P＜0.05).IDO and B7-H1 expressions positively and significantly correlated with pathological grades and tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stages (P＜0.05).They were prognostic of poor cancer-specific survival.After adjusting by the Cox proportional hazards regression models (P＜0.05),only a combined IDO/B7-H1 expression served as an independent prognostic marker.ConclusionsIDO and B7-H1 were expressed in PC,and they were important markers for malignant progression of PC.A combined IDO/B7-H1 expression served as an independent prognostic marker for PC.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of different doses of flurbiprofen axetil on analgesia effects of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS:120 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected and randomly divid-ed into group A,B and C,with 40 cases in each group. Group A,B and C were given the mixture 100 ml of flurbiprofen axetil 100,150 and 200 mg combined with tramadol 600 mg and ondansetron 4 mg respectively and 0.9% Sodium chloride injection for patient controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)at the end of operation. Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)and static and dynamic visual analogue scale(VAS)scores were observed in 3 groups at the end of operation,4,8,24 and 36 h after sur-gery. The incidence of incision pain,neck-shoulder pain and hypochondrium,the occurrence of ADR were recorded 36 h after oper-ation. RESULTS:After operation,There was no statistical significance in comparison of 3 groups with MAP,HR,static and dynam-ic VAS(P>0.05),4,8,24,and 36 h after operation,MAP,HR,static and dynamic VAS score of group B and C decreased sig-nificantly,there was statistical significance,compared with group A(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in above indi-cators between group B and group C(P>0.05). After operation,the incidence of incision pain,neck-shoulder pain and hypochon-drium in group A were significantly higher than group B and C,with statistical significance(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance between group B and group C(P>0.05). After operation,the incidence of ADR in group A and B were significantly lower than in group C,with statistical significance(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance between group A and group B(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Flurbiprofen axetil 150 mg combined with tramadol 600 mg and ondansetron 4 mg can improve he-modynamics and patient controlled intravenous analgesia in patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with lower incidence of ADR.

Objective To investigate the relevance ratio of abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) and describe the abnormal ECG index among the residents in Keshan disease (KD) area.To assess the KD illness severity and provide comparable quantitative indicators,provide the scientific basis for elimination of KD.Methods Non probability sampling method was used,and monitoring stations with the highest incidence of KD at the county level were selected in 2012.Clinical examination and 12 lead ECG was carried out.According to The KD Diagnosis Standard (WS/T 210-2011),eight common changes in ECG of KD were scored.According to age and sex group,check the abnormal rate of ECG detection of Keshan disease,while analysed the changes of abnormal ECG index score in latent KD patients and chronic KD patients.Abnormal ECG index to determine:If there was one change,the score was 1 and the abnormal ECG index was 1.And so on,the highest score was 8.Results Totally 61 831 residents were surveyed and 9 634 were found with abnormal ECG,and the relevance ratio of abnormal ECG was 15.58％;totally 3 862 residents had eight ECG changes of KD and the relevance ratio was 6.25％;totally 508 residents were diagnosed with KD and the relevance ratio was 0.82％.The relevance ratio of abnormal ECG among all age groups was statistically different (x2 =3 065.64,P ＜ 0.05).The relevance ratio of abnormal ECG in women was higher than that of men [3.91％ (2 419/61 831) vs 2.33％ (1 443/61 831),x2 =86.30,P＜ 0.05].Abnormal ECG index score was (1.06 ± 0.25) which was not statistically different between gender [men:(1.07 ± 0.27) vs women:(1.06 ± 0.24),t =1.41,P ＞ 0.05].The abnormal ECG index score in latent KD patients was lower than that of chronic KD patients [(1.09 ± 0.30) vs (1.60 ± 0.69),t =-4.87,P ＜ 0.05].In eight ECG changes,the most check out items were T wave and/or ST segment changes (2 816).Conclusions The relevance ratio of abnormal ECG in KD area is at a higher level.The abnormal ECG index can be used to assess the KD illness severity and provide comparable quantitative indicators,in order to provide a new train of thought for the evaluation of KD elimination.

Objective To study the surgical diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis(TB). Methods The clinical data of 42 cases with renal TB were analyzed retrospectively and the experiences of clinical diagnostic and treatment were summarized. Results Cystic irritation symptoms(78.6% ,33/42)and gross hematuria(64. 3%,27/42)were the most common symptoms in these patients. Abnormal urine were found in 83.3 % cases. Acid-fast stains on urinary sediment were positive in 28.6%(12/42)of cases. The diagnostic accuracy of B-ultrasonicgraphy,IVU,retrograde pyelography and CT examination in these patients were 19.0%(8/42),33.3% (14/42),26.2%(11/42)and 71.4%(30/42)respectively. Among all cases enrolled in the study,6 patients received antiphthisic medicine treatment,3 of them were cured and the other 3 accepted nephrectomy and partial ureterectomy after 6-12 months because of severe renal function impairment 36 cases received surgical treatment. In the 39 cases treated with operation,all of them were proved to carry renal tuberculosis by the postoperative pathological examinations. Conclusions The medical history,urine analysis,image examination should be considered synthetically in the clinical diagnosis of renal tuberculosis. The patients should be followed up closely during antiphthisic treatment period. Seriously damaged or nonfunctioning kidney should be removed promptly.
