Objective To evaluate the value of dual-phase MSCT with 3D reconstruction in the staging and resectability of gallbladder carcinoma.Methods Forty patients with suspected gallbladder carcinoma by clinical examination and routine sonography were prospectively studied with dual-phase MSCT. Of these patients, only 35 who underwent a laparotomy for extended cholecystectomy or a palliative surgery were included in the study. Three-dimensional volume rendering and multiplanar reformation was used for evaluation of the vascular invasion and anatomy. The staging and resectability of lesions determined by CT and the results were compared with operative findings.Results On the basis of the CT findings, 13 tumors were resectable and 22 were unresectable. On surgery, 17 tumors were found to be resectable and the remaining was unresectable. Overstaging by CT occurred in 4 patients due to overassessment of duodenal infiltration, pancreatic infiltration and colonal infiltration. CT had a sensitivity of 76.5, a specificity of 100, an accuracy of 88.6, a positive predictive value of 100 and negative predictive value of 81.8 in determining resectability of gallbladder carcinoma. For the diagnosis of hepatic and vascular invasion, and involvement of bile duct by the tumor, there was 100 correlation between CT and surgery. Vascular variations were found in six of 17 patients who underwent radical cholecystectomy.Conclusion Dual-phase MDCT with 3D reconstruction can predict resectability of gallbladder carcinoma and determine the vascular road map before surgery.

Objective To observe the protective effect of acceleration neutruphils apoptosis on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) . Methods The neutrophils were separated using discontinuous Percoll gradients in vitro and cultured for 48 hours with or without clarithromycin. Neutrophil survival was determined by typan blue dye exclusion method. Apoptotic neutrophils were detected with flow cytometry. Immune histochemistry was used to examine the expression of protein of Fas and bcl-2 which interrelated with neutrophil apoptosis. In vivo study twelve adult sheeps were randomly divided into two groups. Pulmonary artery was clamped after CPB was established and the lungs were perfused with 4℃ low molecular weight dextran solution in control group (n = 6) and 4℃ low molecular weight dextran solution with clarithromycin in protective group (n - 6), The bypass was withdrawn after 90 minutes. Respiratory function were recorded during CPB and cytokines in the lung were measured. Lung biopsies and the apoptosis of the neutrophil were also performed after operation. Results Clarithromycin significantly shortened neutrophil survival in a dose-dependent fashion. The result of flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rates at 24h of clarithromycin group were (33.7?4.9)%, (48.0?4.9)%, (52.0?5.4)% and (53.0?7.1)% at 1, 5, 10 and 20 ?g/ml of clarithromycin respectively while the rate in control group was (31.5?3.5)% (P

Objective To observe the effect of saccharomyces boulardii combined with chiropractics in asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance. Methods One hundred and twenty asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance were allocated into observation group (68 patients) and control group (52 patients) by random digits table. The newborn in control group accepted trace feeding and parenteral nutrition treatment, and the newborn in observation group accepted additional oral saccharomyces boulardii and chiropractic therapy on the base of control group. The time of reaching to full enteral feeding, the time of restoring to birth weight, the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia and the total efficiency of treatment were observed. Results The time of reaching to full enteral feeding, the time of restoring to birth weight in either mild asphyxial newborn or severe asphxial newborn in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01 or<0.05). The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in mild asphyxial newborn or severe asphxial newborn in observation group was 16.7%(8/48) and 5/20, in control group was 36.8%(14/38) and 9/14, and there were significant differences (P<0.05). The total efficiency of treatment in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group:91.2%(62/68) vs. 69.2%(36/52), P<0.05. Conclusions Saccharomyces boulardii combined with chiropractics in asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance can reduce the time of reaching to full enteral feeding and the time of restoring to birth weight. It can decrease the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia, and the treatment effect is obvious.

Objective To analyze the new primary mutation in Chinese people with Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). Methods Genomic DNA was collected from 260 suspected LHON patients and 100 normal healthy persons. The mitochondria DNA mutation at nucleotide position (NP) 15257 and the hot spot (14452-14601 bp) of ND6 gene which include the mutations at NP (14482, 14498, 14568, 14596, 14495, and 14459) were screened by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), heteroduplex-single strand conformation polymorphism (HA-SSCP) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and sequencing. Primary mutation spectrum of Chinese race was analyzed. Results Eight kinds of polymorphism of mitochondria DNA were found in 260 suspected LHON patients and 100 normal healthy persons, including NP 14488C, 14518G, and 14617G which hadn't been reported (http://www.mitomap.org/). No mutation at NP 15257, 14482, 14498, 14568, 14596, 14495, and 14459 was found. Conclusion The NP 15257A may not be the primary mutation in Chinese. Because of the race difference, 14452-14601 bp in ND6 gene may not be the hot spot in Chinese patients with LHON, and other hot spots may exist.
