Objective To explore the value of E-flow technique in ultrasound examination of fetal pulmonary vein.Methods The pulmonary veins of 332 fetus were examined using lungs as acoustic window by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE), color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and E-flow.Visualization ratios of the three methods were compared.Results The fetal pulmonary veins were displayed as following:7 cases were showed by 2DE,49 cases by CDFI and 73 cases by E-flow among 118 cases during 12 - 22 gestational weeks.The visualization ratio of E-flow was higher than that of the other two methods (P <0.001).Fourty-one cases were showed by 2DE, 171 cases by CDFI and 177 cases by E-flow among 214 cases during 23 - 40 gestational weeks.The visualization ratios of E-flow and CDFI were higher than that of 2DE (P < 0.001).The visualization ratio of E-flow and CDFI has no distinct differrence (P > 0.0167).Conclusions E-flow was sensitive to pulmonary vein blood flow and better than 2DE and CDFI in early stage of the second trimester.

Purpose To investigate the significance of arterial phase display of right ovarian vein (ROV) for patients with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) through multi-slice CT angiography (MSCTA) Materials and Methods Forty-three patients with PCS confirmed clinically who underwent MSCTA were involved in the study. Revascularization was realized via add vessel volume rendering technique and maximum intensity projection (MIP) and the relationships among ROV early development, location of converging vascular, development of LOV and pelvic draining veins were analyzed. Results Out of 43 cases of ROV early development during arterial phase, 21 cases (48.8%) took ROV as draining vein of PCS, among which 17 cases (81.0%) converged into the inferior cava vena. In 19 cases (44.2%), ROV took part in the formation of PCS, all originating from the main right renal vein. Three cases (7.0%) were renal vein-derived PCS, among which two ROV originated from the main right renal vein and one from the branch of the right renal vein. Conclusion According to the imaging features of bilateral ovarian veins and pelvic veins, ROV, as draining veins, is associated with the formation of PCS.

Lynch syndrome is the most common type of genetically determined colon-cancer predisposition syndrome, accounting for 5%of all colorectal cancer (CRC) cases. This hereditary syndrome is characterized by the germline mutation of human mismatch repair genes and microsatellite instability. Recent studies have shown that Lynch syndrome and sporadic CRC differ in diagnosis and treat-ment;these results are especially relevant for the clinical management of Lynch syndrome. In this review, we reverted to the original characterization of Lynch syndrome, and the developments in its screening and diagnosis were summarized. Furthermore, the manage-ment of families with this disorder was discussed.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and the efficacy of external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy for severe infant hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial regions.Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 126 cases with severe infant oral and maxillofacial hemangiomas were retrospectively analyzed in Henan Provincial People's Hospital between June 2004 and December 2009.The patients included 45 male and 81 female cases,and the average visiting age of the patients was 3.9 months (ranged 10 days to 1 year and 4 months).Among 126 patients,24 cases occurred with Kasabach-Merritte syndrome (KMS).The patients were treated with ligation of external carotid artery,insertion of a tube inside the lesion and injection of 400 g/L Carbonyldiamide after operation.Methylprednisolone was added in infusion if the patients were combined with KMS.Results The mean follow-up period was 6.1 years (ranged 4.3 to 10.2 years).All of 126 cases were cured through the management including external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy in 94 cases,and the combination treatment of the infusion and local Carbonyldiamide injection in 32 cases.The size of hemangiomas gradually shrank and disappeared after the therapy.The hemangiomas in 105 cases disappeared completely in 6-12 months,and 21 cases disappeared in 1-2 years.Twenty-four patients were complicated with KMS.The thrombocyte count and blood coagulation function also returned to normal after the therapy.Among the 24 cases,the thrombocyte count in 13 cases was back to normal within 3-7 days,and 7 cases within 8-14 days.In the remaining 4 cases,it normalized within 15-30 days.The weight,height,immunity of the patients were in keeping with the healthy counterparts after long term follow-up.And no serious adverse effect was observed.Conclusions For severe infant hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial regions,the external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy can obviously shorten the treatment time,and reduce the drug side effects.It is a better and more reliable treatment method.

[Objective]To investigate the micro-structural alterations within whole brain white matter(WM) in cough syrup abuse addiction patients containing codeine,and to explore the correlation between aberrant WH and abuse time of cough medicine abuse patients.[Methods]Thirty cough syrup abuse addiction patients containing codeine and 30 controls participated in the study. Structural changes in FA and(mean diffusivity)MD were examined in cough syrup abuse addiction patients containing codeine which derived from DTI tractography. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to compare the mean FA value and duration of cough syrup abuse addiction in patients.[Results]Cough syrup abuse addiction patients containing codeine had lower FA value in bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule(ALIC)and higher MD in the bilateral hippocampus and insula,right anterior cingulate cortex(ACC)and superior temporal gyrus,compared to the controls. Cough syrup abuse addiction group also had positive correlation between mean FAvalues and duration of cough syrup abuse addiction in patients.[Conclusion]Micro-structural alterations within whole brain white matter(WM)are found in cough syrup abuse addiction patients containing codeine. This disturbance progresses as duration increases of cough syrup abuse addiction in patients.

An offline two-dimensional system combining a rat cardiac mascle cell membrane chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CMC-TOF/MS) with a high performance liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-TOF/MS) was established for investigating the parent components and metabolites in rat urine samples after administration of the roots of Aconitum carmichaeli. On the basis of the analysis of the first dimension, retention components of the urine sample were collected into 30 fractions (one fraction per minute). Then offline analysis of the second dimension was carried out. 34 compounds including 24 parent alkaloids and 10 potential metabolites were identified from the dosed rat urine, and then binding affinities of different compounds on cell membranes were compared and influences of some functional groups on activity were estimated with the semi-quantification and curve fitting method. As a result, binding affinities decreased along with the process of deacylation, debenzoylation and demethylation, which may be related to the alleviation of toxicity in the procedure of herb processing or metabolism. Moreover, some minor components in rat urine (Songorine, 14-benzoylneoline, Deoxyaconitine, etc. ) exerted relatively strong affinity on cell membranes are worth exploring. The results delivered by the system suggest that the CMC can be applied to in vivo study.

Objective To study the early protective effect of NADPH on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the expression of occludin and MMP9 induced by oxygen glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R). Methods HUVECs were cultured and divided into blank control group, OGD/R group and OGD/R+NADPH 20 μmol/L group. The proliferation of HUVECs after treatment was detected by CCK-8 assay. The cytotoxicity was detected by LDH release assay. The morphological changes of HUVECs were observed by inverted microscope. Superoxide dismutase (SOD MDA) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by commercially available kit. The expressions of occludin and MMP9 were detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with the OGD/R, NADPH enhanced the cell viability significantly (P<0.05), reduced the release of LDH (P<0.05), promoted the maintance of HUVECs morphology, reduced MDA generation (P<0.05) and increased SOD activity (P<0.05). Following OGD/R,the treatment of NADPH can inhibit MMP9 level (P<0.05) and promote the recovery of occludin level (P<0.05). Conclusion NADPH can protect HUVECs from the damage induced by OGD/R by reducing oxidative stress and regulating the expressions of MMP9 and occludin.
