Objective To evaluate the pattern of development of fetal cerebral sulei by prenatal ultrasound and its clinical significance. Methods Sixty hundred and ninety-two fetuses at age from 17 to 40 weeks were observed for the development and depth of cerebral sulci (parietal-occipital sulcus, calcarine suleus, central sulcus, eingulate sulcus, cingulate gyrus, and sylvian fissure) by transabdominal ultrasonography. Results Parietal-occipital sulcus,calcarine sulcus,and sylvian fissure were visible at about 19 weeks of gestation, central sulcus was at about 25 weeks, cingulate sulcus and cingulate gyrus were at about 26 weeks. One case of them was considered as cerebral sulei growth retardation due to the signs of invisible parietal-occipital sulcus and sylvian fissure at 24 weeks of gestation. Two cases were considered as cerebral sulci growth retardation due to the signs of invisible parietal occipital sulcus and central sulcus and the shallow blunt shape of sylvian fissure at 29 weeks of gestation. There were positive correlations between the depths of fetal cerebral sulci and gestational weeks, and negative correlations between their relative depths and gestational weeks(all P <0.05), Conclusions Transabdominal ultrasonography can be use to observe the development of fetal cerebral sulci (parietal-occipital sulcus, calcarine sulcus, central sulcus, eingulate sulcus,cingulate gyrus,and sylvian fissure). The depth of cerebral sulci is relative to gestational weeks,and would be considered for prenatal assessment of cerebral sulci maldevelopment, such as cerebral sulci growth retardation and lissencephalia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and value of bronchoscopy combined with normal treatment for postoperative complications-atelectasis and pneumonia. Method A systematic search in PubMed, CNKI, WANFANG was performed using “bronchoscopy” crossed with “atelectasis”, “pneumonia”. All the randomized controlled trials (RCT) on bronchoscopy used for postoperative complications were collected, which contain atelectasis or pneumonia. Meta-analysis was handled by RevMan 5.3. Result A total of 543 clients included in 8 studies, There were statistically significant differences in development of postoperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia treated with normal treatment or ifbrotic bronchoscopy additionally [OR^ =3.80, 95%CI (2.24, 6.45), P=0.000]. Conclusion Bronchoscopy combined with normal treatment is more effective and useful than normal treatment in postoperative complications-atelectasis and pneumonia.

Thymopentin (TP5) and bursopentin (BP5) are both immunopotentiators. To explore whether the TP5-BP5 fusion peptide (TBP5) has adjuvant activity or not, we cloned the TBP5 gene and confirmed that the TBP5 gene in a recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. TBP5 significantly promoted the proliferation of thymic and splenic lymphocytes of mice. The potential adjuvant activity of the TBP5 was examined in mice by coinjecting TBP5 and H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) inactivated vaccine. HI antibody titers, HA antibodies and cytokines levels (IL-4 and IFN-γ) were determined. We found that TBP5 markedly elevated serum HI titers and HA antibody levels, induced the secretion of both IL-4 and IFN-γ cytokines. Furthermore, virus challenge experiments confirmed that TBP5 contributed to inhibition replication of the virus [H9N2 AIV (A/chicken/Jiangsu/NJ07/05)] from mouse lungs. Altogether, these findings suggest that TBP5 may be an effective adjuvant for avian vaccine and that this study provides a reference for further research on new vaccine adjuvants.

Objective: To observe the effects of manganese( Ⅲ ) meso-tetrakis (N, N'-diethylimidazolium-2-yl) porphyrin (MnTDM) in treatment of early Parkinson's disease(PD) mouse model induced by subcutaneous injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP) and to discuss its possible mechanism. Methods:Forty male C57BL/6 mice were evenly randomized into 4 groups: MPTP model group(subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg MPTP for 3 days), MnTDM+ MPTP group (15 mg/kg MnTDM was subcutaneously injected 1 h before MPTP injection), MnTDM control group, and normal saline group. Performance of animals in the pole and swimming test was observed 3 days after the last injection. Levels of dopamine (DA) and its metabolites(3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid [DOPAC] and homovanillic acid [HVA]) in the striatum of animals were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector(HPLC-ECD). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method was used to examine the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA). Results: Acute injection of MPTP could be used for establishment of PD model. The striatal levels of DA, DOPAC and HVA in MPTP group were significantly lower(P＜0.01)and the striatal level of MDA was significantly higher(P＜0.05) than those of the control group. MPTP had no obvious effect on the behavioral performance of the animals in a short term. MnTDM could partly inhibit the above effects of MPTP. Compared with MPTP group, MnTDM+ MPTP group had significantly higher DA, DOPAC, and HVA levels and significantly lower MDA level(all P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the behavioral indices of animals between the 4 groups. Conclusion:MnTDM can inhibit lipid peroxidation and promote DA production; it has preventive and therapeutic effects on MPTP induced PD.

Objective To explore the safty and feasibility of transrectal ultrasound guided transperineal seminal vesicle biopsy in the evaluation of clinical staging of prostate cancer.Methods Retrospectively study 57 suspected prostate cancer patients with seminal abnormality during 2010.7-2015.1,age ranged from 50 to 78 years,average 65 ±7 years,serum total prostate specific antigen (tPSA) 3.2-131.1 μg/L, average (23.7 ± 11.3) μg/L.Twenty-two cases had palpable prostate nodules through rectal examination.All the 57 patients underwent ultrasound and template guided transperineal prostate and seminal vesicle puncture biopsies.Results Forty-four cases out of 57 found prostate cancer cells in biopsies, and 32 cases had seminal vesicle invasion (positive group) while the other 12 were negative.Twenty cases had been performed prostatectomy in the positive group and their post-operative pathological examination all showed prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion.Eleven cases in the negative group had been performed prostatectomy ,and 2 cases showed seminal vesicle invasion.The clinical stages of all cases in the positive group were considered as T3b both pre-operatively and post-operatively.In the negative group however, 11 cases were considered as T2 stage pre-operatively,while 2 cases were increased to T3b stage post-operatively.The sensitivity of puncturing seminal vesicle was 91％ (20/22) ,specificity was 100.0％ (9/9).Positive predictive value was 100.0％ (20/20),while negative predictive value was 82％ (9/11).All the 57 cases did not present fever after puncture biopsies, while 23 cases presented hematuria (40％) ,20 cases presented hemospermia (35％) and 1 case presented urinary retention (2％).Conclusions Transrectal ultrasound-guided transperinealseminal vesicle puncture is safe and reliable, it helps to improve the accuracy of pre-operative staging.
