Objective: To analyse the acuracy of color doppler ultrasound examination in the measure- ments of blood vessels in tissue flaps. Methods: 110 pieces of associated blood vessel in tissue flaps in 64 cases were measured with color doppler ultrasound examination before operation. The quality of blood vessel, its diameter, blood stream filling, the vascular pedicle length and its depth were measured. The results were checked and compared with the findings in operation. Results: Of all 110 pieces of associated blood vessel evaluated by doppler, the accurate ratio confirmed by the finding in operation was 100%. The inner diameter of 38 pieces of blood vessel measured in operation was coincident with that measured by doppler before operation, or with little difference. Conclusion: The color doppler ultrasound examination is a reliable method for evaluating the blood vessel both of the donor and host areas in maxillofacial reconstruction surgery with tissue flap.

BACKGROUND:Co-transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can improve the survival rate following radiation damage. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanisms of BMSCs in hematopoietic reconstitution and immunomodulation after radiation damage. METHODS: Relevant articles included in the Web of science from 2005 to 2016 were retrieved, and the keywords were mesenchymal stem cells; radiation; radiation injury; hematopoietic stem cells; hematopoietic reconstitution; immunomodulatory in English. Then we sorted and analyzed the articles which were closely related to the theme. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BMSCs can repair broken DNA double bonds by autophagy and HR/NHEJ pathway; support and protect HSCs by intercellular interactions and paracrine action; and repair radiation-induced hematopoietic injury by inhibiting inflammation and immune responses to maintain HSC homeostasis. Therefore, BMSCs may function as an effective treatment for radiation-induced hematopoietic injury.

Objective:To evaluate 2D ultrasonography(2DUS), color Doppler flowing imaging(CDFI) and color Doppler energy (CDE) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors of salivary glands.Methods:According to the characters of 2DUS and CDFI examination, benign and malignant tumors in 142 cases of salivary glands were distinguished. The results of ultrasound examination and postoperative biopsy were checked and compared. Meanwhile the same tumor's blood flow information and hemodynamics index were compared. Results:In 2DUS examination, the inter echo and post echo of benign and malignant were different. In CDFI examination, the blood flow form could be displayed clearly. Besides Warthin tumors, the blood supply ranking of benign tumors was usually levelⅠor Ⅱ-(78.7%), and that of malignant tumors was levelⅡ+ or Ⅲ(80.0%). The artery's peak systolic velocity(PSV) of malignant tumors was higher than that of benign tumors. The rates(%) of sensitivity, specificity,accuracy,false negative, false positive, positive predicting and negative predicting of 2DUS were 70.2,87.4,81.7,29.8,12.6,73.3 and 85.6,those of CDFI 80.9,65.2,70.4,19.1,34.7,53.0 and 87.3,those of the integrated usage of ultrasonic methods 89.3,90.5,90.1,10.6,9.5,82.4 and 94.5 respectively.Conclusion:With the integrated usage of ultrasonic methods, higher accuracy of differential diagnosis for benign and malignant salivary glands tumors may be obtained.

The results of experiment showed that B. subtilis BR151 and MI112 containing plasmid pUB110 in LB liquid medium is more stabl than in LB slant. Stable recipient strain BSG for plasmid pUB110 was obtained by mutagenesis with NTG. The strain BSG is more efficient recipient of transformation for shuttle vectors pPTE4 and pBE2 from E.coli than its parent. The chimeric plasmids which contain small inserts are stable in strain BSG after 30 generations.

Objective To evaluate the value of intraduetal ultrasonography (IDUS) in diagnosing biliary and pancreatic disorders. Methods The findings by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and IDUS from 19 patients with suspected biliary and pancreatic disorders from July 2006 to August 2007 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 19 patients, 17 had obstructive jaundice (including 6 eases of cholangiocarcinoma, 2 pancreatic adenocareinoma, 2 gallbladder carcinoma, 2 chole-docholithiasis with bile duct stricture, 2 autoimmune pancreatitis, 1 papillary adenocarcinoma, 1 papillary adenoma, and 1 sclerosing cholangitis) and 2 intraduetal papillary mueinous tumor (IPMT). The diagnosis was confirmed by surgery and pathological findings in 11 patients. The diagnostic accuracy of ERCP and IDUS was 73. 7% (14/19) and 84. 2% (16/19), respectively, and that of ERCP combined with IDUS was 89. 5% (17/19). The sensitivity and specificity of ERCP to differentiate benign bile duct strictures from ma-lignant ones were 100. 0% (11/11) and 83.3% (5/6), respectively; and those of IDUS were 100. 0%(11/11) and 100. 0% (6/6), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of ERCP in diagnosing cholan-gioeareinoma were 83.3% (5/6) and 60% (3/5), respectively; and those of IDUS were 100. 0% (6/6) and 40. 0% (2/5), respectively. Conclusion Combination of ERCP with IDUS can improve the diagnostic accuracy of pancreaticobiliary disorders. Additionally, IDUS shows higher sensitivity and specificity in differ-entiation between benign and malignant bile duct strictures, but it is still difficult to identify the etiologic factors of malignant bile duet strictures by IDUS.

BACKGROUND: Abnormal hematopoietic microenvironment is an important factor causing dyshematopoiesis. However, no consensus has been reached on the sensitivity of hematopoietic stromal cells to irradiation.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of marrow stromal cells (MSCs) cycle and DNA content during the early stage of irradiation damage in mice, so as to further understand dyshematopoiesis due to radiation and provide scientific basis to avoid deleterious factors in hematopoietic environment.DESIGN: Completely randomized grouping and randomized controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Central laboratory of altitude military affairs medical department and altitude research institute of preventive medicine department, a military medical university of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This study was carried out at the Experimental Animal Center of Third Military Medical University between October 2002 and April 2003. A total of 60 healthy male Kunming mice were randomly divided into irradiation damage group and healthy control group, each having 30 mice.METHODS: The 30 mice in irradiation damage group were exposed to 60Co-γ of irradiation at a dose rate of 1.27 Gy/minutes within a distance of 4 m. Then the mice' marrow cells were harvested at day 3 and day 7 after irradiation, and were cultured in vitro for 14 days and 21 days for observation. Meanwhile the other 30 healthy mice unexposed to irradiation were considered as normal controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Post-radiation number of MSCs colonies,cell cycle and DNA content.RESULTS: Although MSCs could grow and be adhered to walls after being exposed to irradiation of 5.0 Gy/s, the number of MSCs colonies was found significantly decreased compared to that of rnormal control group( P < 0.01 ).The colony number of the MSCs irradiated for 7 days obviously increased than that of MSCs irradiated for 3 days; however, MSCs recovered slowly and resulted in prolonged culture time, indicating the inhibited proliferation of MSCs due to irradiation damage. Results of flow cytometry showed that cells in G2+ M phase(2.60±0.41, 4.20±1.27) and DNA content (58.40±0.79,61.17 ± 1.35) in irradiation groups after 3-day and 7-day irradiation were obviously lower than those of normal control group(12.60 ±0. 75, 78.57±0. 83)(P <0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: MSCs have relatively high sensitivity to irradiation damage and longer persisting period.

Objective To explore the CT and MR features of cystic nephroma. Methods CT and MRI findings of 8 patients with cystic nephroma comfirmed surgically and pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Results In all 8 patients, cystic nephromas were unilateral and solitary, and diameter of lesions was 2.92-7.81 cm. The CT and MR scans showed multilocular cystic lesion with clear border. These locules did not communicate with each other. The septa were intact and smooth, and showed slight to moderate and gradual enhancement. The interlocular septa were demonstrated clearly on coronal T2WI, and showed hypointensity signals. The intracapsular liquids were heterogenous in 4 patients on MR images. The CT scanning showed a patchy calcification in 1 case. Histopathology proved that the capsule and septa of the lesions were lined by cuboidal or flattened epitheial cells, of which hemosiderin depositions were presented in 4 patients. Conclusion CT and MR are valuable in the diagnosis of cystic nephroma, and MRI can reflect the pathology of cystic nephroma more clearly, and supply the accurate reference information for diagnosis.

Objective To investigate status about the heart rate variability and executive function in patients with insomnia.Methods The study involves 165 cases of patients with insomnia and 92 cases normal.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) screening for insomnia,Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) for the assessment of executive function and Self-generate Physiological Coherence System (SPCS) were used to collect the data of heart rate variability (HRV).Results The SDNN,RMSSD,TP,LF,HF of HRV of the insomnia group were significantly higher than these factors of control group (t=2.712,2.726,2.427,2.542,2.338,P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01).In the WCST,number of completed categories,conceptualization percentage of the group of patients with insomnia were significantly lower than the control group (t=-2.368,-2.165,all P＜0.05),persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of patients' group were significantly higher than the control group (t=2.712,2.991,2.690,all P＜0.01).TP,LF,HF,LF/HF of HRV and the number of error responses,persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of WCST had significant negative correlations (r=-0.171--0.245,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the conceptualization percentage were significantly positively correlated (r=0.198-0.227,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion The results show that insomnia not only cause individual autonomic disorders,but damage the executive function of prefrontal.HRV and executive function in patients with insomnia have close relationships.
