In order to study the variation of complex impedance and characteristic parameters on human normal and tumor lung tissue during the extracorporeal time, we established a real part-imaginary part chart of complex impedance on lung tissue which provided the basic theory and the reference data for research on elementary medicine and clinical diagnosis of lung cancer and meanwhile provided prior information for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) research. In the experiment carried out in our laboratory, when operation was finished, we kept the lung cancer tissue and normal tissue neatly separated into the cylindrical testing cavities and kept the temperature and humidity at expected values. Then the measurements of complex impedance property are performed at frequency from 1 000 Hz to 30 MHz using 4294A impedance analyzer of Aglient Company. With time changing, the results showed that there was a significant change occurring on the complex impedance of human normal and tumor lung tissue. However, the impedance of normal lung tissue is greater than that of tumor lung tissue. We consider that this change should be related to the change in extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid and cell membrane.

Abstract Objective: To study the relationshiop between the HBV pre-c mutant and the clinical the, the host immunity. Methods: Mu-tation specific PCR(msPCR) was employed for detecting pre-c mutant in 92 cases with HBV-DNA positive;T subpopulations were determinedby APAAP immune-bridge assay; the cytokines (TNF?、 sIL-2R ) levels by ELISA. Results: 57 cases had Pre-c mutant, the rate was ahaut 62 %;pre-c mutant existed popularly in different e systems status, mainly in anti-HBe(+) serum. The reat increased with the deterioration of liverfunction, and was highest in fulminant hepatitis, the percentage of CD4 T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were aignificantly lower in mu-tational group than in wild group,but CD8 T lymphocyte was obviously higher, the quantity of sera TNF? and sIL-2R in mutational group wereobviously higher than in wild group, both groups were obviously higher than control group. Conclusion:PreC 1896 mutant existed popularly inpatients with HBV infection. There were more serious disturbance in host immunity in mutant group. The mutant may be associated with the pre-ssare of host immune system.The mutant type virus could provoke host immunity resulting in severe liver damage.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA).Methods From September 2013 to September 2015,the clinical data of 35 patients who underwent posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were reviewed.There were 14 males and 21 females,aged 15-70 years,with the average of 45.8 years.Preoperative CT scan showed 19 adrenal tumors in the left side,16 in the right side,and one case with the left adrenal adenoma combining with right renal cyst.Tumor diameter is between 10 ~ 60mm,with the average of 31mam.Twenty-two cases were diagnosed as primary aldosteronism,4 pheochromocytoma,and 9 non-functional adrenal tumor.The posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy were performed in all of the cases,which are under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and prone position with hip joints and knee joints flexion of 90.Results Thirty-five operations were successfully completed via the posterior approach demonstrating clear anatomical layers.The operation time was 38-138min(mean 70 min),the drainage tube indwelling duration was l-Sd(average 2d),and the hospital stay was 2-6d (average 4d).Total costs of hospitalization were 14 789-31 992 yuan RMB,with an average of 21 239 yuan RMB.No complications occurred during the perioperative period.The average follow-up was 11 months,and no complications such as tumor recurrence occured.Conclusions Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy provided clear anatomical views.It could be a safe and effective operation for the treatment of adrenal tumors.

Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the risk of cardiovascular problem.The symptom of dyspnea on exertion may be associated with pulmonary dysfunction or heart failure, or both. The study objective was to determine whether cardiac dysfunction adds to the mechanism of dyspnea caused mainly by impaired lung function in patients with mild-to-moderate COPD. Methods Patients with COPD and healthy controls performed incremental and constant work rate exercise testing. Venous blood samples were collected in 19 COPD patients and 10 controls before and during constant work exercise for analysis of N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP). Results Peak oxygen uptake and constant work exercise time (CWET) were significantly lower in COPD group than in control group (15.81±3.65 vs 19.19a±6.16 ml/min kg, P=0.035 and 7.78±6.53 rain vs 14.77±7.33 min, P=0.015, respectively). Anaerobic threshold, oxygen pulse and heart rate reserve were not statistically significant between COPD group and control group. The NT-pro-BNP levels both at rest and during constant work exercise were higher in COPD group compared to control group, but without statistical significance. The correlations between CWET and NT-proBNP at rest or during exercise in patients with COPD were not statistically significant. Conclusions Heart failure does not contribute to exercise intolerance in mild-to-moderate COPD.

Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) has developed more than 40 years in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. TLM is especially important in the minimally invasive surgery of laryngeal carcinoma. Compared with the traditional open surgery, it is a major breakthrough, which has the significant advantages such as safety, effectiveness, low rate of local recurrence and high rate of larynx preservation. Not only can cure early laryngeal cancer, but also more and more the use of TLM in advanced supraglottic and glottic laryngeal cancer were reported. This article will review the characteristics, indications, superiority, surgical options and efficacy of the TLM in laryngeal carcinomas.

[Summary] Osteoporosis in elderly women are commonly accompanied by elevated levels of ferritin. Abnormal iron metabolism plays a key role in the progress of osteoporosis. Research on bone metabolic disorders caused by iron accumulation remains at the exploratory stage, including NF-κB pathway in differentiation of osteoclasts. A review on the relationship between NF-κB pathway and osteoporosis induced by iron accumulation is herewith presented, with a view to provide further ideas for transforming the clinical outcomes.
