Objective To summarize the pathogenesis and diagnosis experience of the ophthalmopathy in Graves' disease. Methods The summarize paper made on eviewing correlative documents. Results ①The endocrine ophthalopathy occupies about 25 percent in the Graves' disease patient. The clinical manifestation is infiltrating exophthalmic tissues, bulbar conjunctiva edema, ophthalmus muscles spasm and anopsia. ②It is a special auto immune disease. Thyrotrophin receptor antibody(TRAb) infiltrates the thyroid gland and internal orbital tissues to cause lymph cells infiltration and inflammatory reaction that can change the visual organ structure. The internal orbital IgA content also rise. ③Antithyroid drug, hormones and postorbital irradiation can be used to treat this disease, but total thyroidectomy can decrease the TRAb concentration in blood which has prominent therapeutic effect. Conclusions Graves disease is an auto immune disease, foe treatment of endocrine ophthalmopathy, total tyroidectomy is necessary as early as possible.

Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2010;04(6):394-395,408
Objective To discuss diagnosis and surgical treatment for chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT). Methods Records of 70 patients who were diagnosed as CLT from 2005 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into two groups according to pathological results. Results There were 6 patients of CLT accompanying with papillary carcinoma. The rest 64 patients were diagnosed as CLT accompanying with benign nodules. All cases were confirmed by pathology and treated with operation. Conclusions Coexistence of nodules which can not be excluded from carcinoma is the main reason for surgical treatment in case of CLT. CLT patients especially for those associated with single nodule and/or microcalcification inside nodules should be given surgical treatment. The operative method depends on pathological results during operation.

ObjectiveTo discuss the diagnosis method and management of Gallbladder polypoeid lesions (GPL).MethodA ten-year (2002-2011) retrospective reviews of all patients result underwent in ultrosenography (US) was conducted.ResultsTotal 591 peatients with GPL detected on US were identified,349 patients (59.1%) were women,the age ranges 20 to 93 years.395 patients had abdominal symtoms,of which 39.9% patients had a single polyp and 9.8% had gallstones.The specifisity of the diagnosis of GPL in US was 92.5 %.Laparascopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the treatment of 136 chosen cases.In cases suspicious of malignancy,it is advisable to do cholecystectomy.ConclusionsMost small GPL are benign and remain static for years.Age more than 50 years old and size of polyp more than 10 mm are the two main important risk factors predicting malignancy in GPL.Other risk factors include concurrent gallstones,solitary polyp,and symptomatic polyp.LC is the treatment of unless since the suspicion of malignancy is high.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,surgical treatment and prognosis of female breast cancer patients under 35 years.MethodsThe clinical data of 140 cases of female breast cancer patients in the young group ( ≤ 35 years) and 326 cases of female breast cancer patients in the control group ( 45 - 59years) undergoing surgical treatment from 2002 to 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.All the data were analyzed with the statistical software of SPSS13.0.ResultsThe difference between the 2 groups had no statistical significance in tumor size or pathologic types( P >0.05).The axillary lymph node metastasis rate was obviously higher in the young group than in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Modified radical mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery were mainly performed.The proportion of patients in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ in the young group was higher than that in the control group.The positive rate of ER and PR was lower while the positive rate of HER-2 was higher in the young group than those in the control group( P < 0.05 ).ConclusionsBreast cancer in young women has the features of high clinical stage,high lymph node metastasis rate,low positive rate of ER and PR,high positive rate of HER-2,high recurrence rate and poor prognosis.The treatment principle of the diseaseis comprehensive therapies mainly based on surgical treatment.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of G CSF on lungs of rats with acute cholangitis and changes in blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 by treating the rats with G CSF. Methods Seventy two Wistar rats were randomized into the control, infected and treated groups. We established the model of cholangitis in the rats with injection of E. coli 25922 into the bile duct. The animals in the treated group were pretreated with G CSF 500 ng/day bid) for 5 days before the E. coli injection. The levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were measured at the 3rd, 6th and 12th h after the injection. Meanwhile, the morphological changes in lungs of the rats were observed. Results The morphological changes in lungs were milder and levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were significantly lower in the treated group than in the infected one (P

Objective To discuss the standard diagnosis and treatment for thyroid nodule.Methods 2 581 patients with thyroid nodule from 2005 to 2009 were studied.Common methods of examination and treatment were analyzed to avoid over-examination and over-treatment.Results 90%of the patients underwent ultrasound examination with a 92.9%sensitivity and 44.3%specificity when there were two or more risk characters.All patients underwent certain kinds of surgery according to their clinical conditions.The recurrence rate was 4%two and half years after lateral thyroid adenectomy or thyroid surgery without excision of thyroid isthmus.Conclusions There are many approaches to thyroid nodule examination and treatment,in which ultrasound is recommended for preoperative examination because of its higher sensitivity,specificity and lower cost,and surgery is still the most useful and effective treatment.Choosing the proper method for thyroid nodule diagnosis and treatment is the key point to avoid over-examination and over-treatment.

Objective To introduce the application of the network training on clinicians'knowledge of malaria diagnosis and treatment in Yunnan Province,and evaluate its effect. Methods Through the platform Yiboshi(www.yiboshi.com),the medi-cal and health personnel at the units of provincial,prefectural,county levels and 25 townships of 25 border counties were trained on the knowledge of malaria diagnosis,treatment,prevention and control,and the effects were evaluated by examina-tions,questionnaires and interviews. Results Totally 7152 participants were trained,the average participation,completion and pass rates of the training were 95.26%,98.55% and 97.30%,respectively. The trainees mainly learned malaria control knowledge from 3 aspects,namely policy of malaria elimination,malaria epidemiology,malaria diagnosis and treatment. The questionnaires showed that 95.94%of the participants considered that their theoretical and technical levels improved,97.30%were interested in the training content,93.24% recognized the arrangement of the training time was reasonable,and 91.89%were satisfied with the service of the platform. Conclusions The network training on knowledge of malaria diagnosis and treat-ment in Yunnan Province has achieved good effect. The network training meets the need of training a large number of clinicians in the malaria elimination and post-elimination stage.

To understand the genetic origin and variation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) prevailing in Henan province,a total of 22 PEDV positive samples from suckling piglets with severe diarrhea were collected from 16 pig farms and amplified by RT-PCR.ORF3 genes were then cloned into pMD18-T vector and sequenced.The result of sequencing showed that the length of ORF3 genes all were 675 bp which encoded 224 amino acids.The strains in this study had eight amino acid substitutions when compared with CV777 strain.The nucleotide homologies of the 22 strains were 95.9%-100% and amino acid homologies were 96.4%-100%.By comparing with those of European strain CV777 and vaccine strain truncated CV777,the nucleotide homologies were 97.1%-97.9% and 94.8%-95.4%,respectively.Based on the phylogenetic relationship of ORF3 genes,the PEDV field strains and PEDV reference strains could be divided into two groups,and all the field strains identified in this study belong to group 2.It suggested that prevalent PEDV strains in this study seem to be closely related to Henan isolates in previous years,domestic strains,Janpanese strains,American strains as well as Korean strains but differ genetically from European strains or vaccine strains used in China.This experiment analyzed the ORF3 gene sequence features in prevailing of Henan region in recent years,which provides a new support of epidemiology study and protein function research of PEDV ORF3 gene.
