The earliest and the most common metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occur in the intrahepatic portal venous system, which indicates its worst prognosis. In 28 HCC patients with intraportal tumor thrombus, we employed 2 procedures, ie. the transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization(THAE), transcatheter superior mesenteric or splenic arterial infusion (TSAI) and portal vein embolization (PVE) in 12 cases, and THAE alone in 16 cases. In the former group, tumor size reduced more than 50% in 8 cases (partial remission PR), in particular tumor thrombus disappeared in 3 and decreased in size in 8; whereas in the latter group, PR was achieved in 3 only, without change size of the intraportal tumor thrombus in all 16 cases (P

Objective To observe the treatment effect of early rehabilitation training on acute cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegia,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods One hundred cases of acute cerebral infarction hemiplegia in our hospital from January 2013 to June 2016 were selected and divided into the rehabilitation training group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases).The control group was given the routine medication therapy and the rehabilitation training group was given early rehabilitation training on the basis of conventional medication therapy.The functional independence assessment (FIM),Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of early rehabilitation training.The level of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) in peripheral blood was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the level of CD34+KDR+ in peripheral blood was measured by flow cytometry.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the FIM total score,FIM sports function score,FMA score,MBI score,SDF-1α and CD34+KDR+ levels before treatment between the rehabilitation training group and the control group (P>0.05).After treatment,the FIM total score,FIM sports function score,FMA score,MBI score and SDF-1α and CD34+KDR+ levels of the rehabilitation training group were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of early rehabilitation training on acute cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegic is remarkable.The mechanism may be related to promoting the expression of SDF-1α and CD34+KDR+ in peripheral blood.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of different reduced caloric intake on mice transplanted with S180 ascitic tumor. METHODS: The institute for cancer research (ICR) mice were randomly divided into control group, 3.0 standard feed (SF) group, 2.0 SF group and 1.3 SF group. The mice in control group were fed enough (about 5 g/d) dietary intake, while the amounts of dietary intake in the latter three groups were scaled down in the proportion of 65%, which were 3.0 g, 2.0 g and 1.3 g standard feed respectively. Meanwhile the essential vitamins were added to the latter three groups to keep the amount of intake the same as that of the control's. RESULTS: For most of the mice, the caloric intake obviously prolonged the mean survival days and improved the life quality was 7.14 kcal/d, and the fasting blood glucose level was 2-3 mmol/L. CONCLUSION: Properly reduced caloric intake and keeping lower blood glucose level is beneficial to prolonging the survival time of mice transplanted with S180 ascitic cancer.

Objective To study the prevalence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants in Xiamen, Fujian. Design Retrospective case series. Participants From Oct. 2004 to Dec. 2008, 375 infants with birth weights ≤2500g or gestational age ≤32w were screened in Xiamen the First Hospital. Methods Initial examinations with the binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and the scleral depression began at 4～6 weeks after birth or at 32 weeks postconception. All infants were followed-up until a stable retinal situation was reached. Main Outcome Measures The prevalence of ROP. Results Retinopathy of prematurity was detected in 10.93% of 375 neonates, including 18 eyes of stage 1, 48 eyes in stage 2, 14 eyes in stage 3, 2 eyes in AP-ROP. The prevalence of ROP in the infants with the birth weight ≤1000g, 1001-1500g and 1501-2000g was 45%, 17.07%, 7.01%, respectively; the occurrence rate of ROP in the infants with the gestational age ≤28 weeks, 29-30 weeks, 31-32 weeks, 33-34 weeks was 34.48%, 2.07%, 12.71%, 8.25%, respectively. Conclusions Earlier screening for ROP is very important. Low birth weight and young gestational age are the most important risk factors in the development of ROP.

Objective To investigate imaging findings of lung injury after seawater drowning.Methods The imaging data in 12 cases with seawater drowning treated in our hospital in the past 8 years were analyzed retrospectively.Results After 2 to 12 hours of leaving the water,the initial chest X-ray examinations or CT scans were taken.The initial X-ray films displayed the lung markings increase,the small patch shadows or wide distribution patch shadows.CT showd large ground-glass density,diffuse patchy or flocculus shadows and different degress of emphysema in bilateral lung.Most of the foci were absorbed obviously in 1 to 3 days.In 1 case,the focus formed pulmonary abscess later.Conclusion X-ray and CT examinations can clearly show the severity and changes of lung damage in seawater submersion victims,and that can provide important informations for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Chaenomeles speciosa total extract shikimic acid(SA) on the degranulation of compound 48/80(C48/80) stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells and the anti-inflammatory.Methods: Qualitative analysis of shikimic acid in the total extract of Chaenomeles speciosa by high performance liquid phase;RPMC were identified by toluidine blue,immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy;CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of RPMC in each concentration group.The release rate of β-hexosidase was determined by substrate method.The content of histamine in supernatant was detected by ELISA.Results: SA had no significant effect on the growth of RPMC at the concentration of 0-90 μg/ml.Compared with the positive control group,SA could effectively inhibit the release of β-hexosidase and inhibit the secretion of histamine.Conclusion: SA inhibits the release of histamine in inflammatory mediators by inhibiting the degranulation of RPMC stimulated by C48/80,and then exerts anti-inflammatory effects.

Objective To evaluate the clinical performance of an automated image analysis systems named CellaVision DM96 in classifying White Blood Cells.Methods A total of 2267 peripheral blood samples (male 1 235, female 1 034, average age 46) were obtained from outpatient and inpatient in Peking Union Medical College Hospital ( PUMCH ) . These samples were selected to evaluate the precision, sensitivity, specificity and the analytical error of the system.We first evaluated the coincidence rate of reclassification and manual microscopy.On the base of favourable coincidence rate, we then evaluated the correlations between the pre-classification and reclassification of segmented neutrophil, band neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophile, basophile, blast cell, promyelocyte, myelocyte, metamyelocyte, plasma cell and reactive lymphocyte.Results The sensitivity and specificity of pre-classification of White Blood Cell were 46% -100% and 24%-92%, respectively.When studied on the cell level, the total coincidence rate of pre-classification was 88%.And the coincidence rates of pre-classification and reclassification of White Blood Cell were 6%-95% and 25%-100%, respectively.When assessed on the sample level, the coincidence rates of pre-classification and reclassification of leukocytes were 64%-98%and 84%-100%, respectively.The correlations of pre-classification and reclassification of leukocytes in order from high to low were: lymphocyte, segmented neutrophil, eosinophile, band neutrophil, monocyte, basophile, when r were 0.943 9, 0.915 2, 0.785 4, 0.775 6, 0.676 2 and 0.289 1, respectively.The correlations between reclassification and manual microscopy of White Blood Cell were higher than those between pre-classification and manual microscopy.Order from high to low was: eosinophile, segmented neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, band neutrophil, basophile.And r were 0.972 1, 0.968 5, 0.957 0, 0.831 9, 0.800 6 and 0.648 7, respectively.The ability of this automated image analysis systems at pre-classification in distinguishing between band cell and segment cell, atypical lymphocyte and normal lymphocyte was not good. Conclusion The performance of reclassification was better than pre-classification.The reclassification can be substitute for the microscopy inspection, and be used in the Clinical practice.
