OBJECTIVETo observe the expression of Clara cell secretory protein(CCSP) in the Kunming mouse model of n-hexane long-term inhalation, and to discuss the functions of Clara cell in injury lung induced by n-hexane.
METHODS24 healthy mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: one control group and three n-hexane groups (4 w, 8 w and 12 w), 6 each group. Primary concentration of n-hexane was 17.6 g/m3, 8 hours per day, 6 d per week. After inhalation, n-hexane concentration of blood from celiac artery was detected. The lungs were embedded with paraffin and HE staining in the routine. The ratio of Clara cells with CCSP reaction in bronchiole and the number of macrophage cells with lysozyme reaction were determined by immuno-histochemistry.
RESULTSIn the poisoning groups, the average n-hexane concentration of blood was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). There were apparent pathologic damages in lungs of the poisoning mice. In poisoning 4 w, 8 w and 12 w groups, the ratio of Clara cells was significantly decreased [(73.33 +/- 4.21)%, (60.98 +/- 4.94)%, (34.04 +/- 2.33)% in terminal bronchiole, and (75.44 +/- 7.91)%, (58.54 +/- 4.86)%, (33.35 +/- 2.67)% in respiratory bronchiole] as compared with the control mice [(80.26 +/- 6.43)% and (81.74 +/- 7.75)%, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01], meanwhile the numbers of macrophage cells were gradually increased [(21.39 +/- 7.41), (28.54 +/- 10.73), (48.97 +/- 19.55) per microscopic field at 200x] in poisoning mice than those in control mice [(7.84 +/- 3.12) per microscopic field at 200x, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01].
CONCLUSIONIn injury lungs after n-hexane inhalation, Clara cells are the target cells of n-hexane toxicity effect. Clara cells play an extensive protective role in lung inflammation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the differences in dielectric properties (relative permittivity and conductivity) between the mucosal surface and serosal surface of malignant colorectal tissues, adjacent tissues at 1 cm and 3 cm from the tumor focus and normal colorectal tissues.
METHODSThe dielectric properties of the mucosal and serosal surface of malignant colorectal tissues, adjacent tissues (1 cm and 3 cm) and normal colorectal tissues from 39 patients with colorectal cancer were measured with an open-ended coaxial probe within the frequency range of 50 MHz-3 GHz, and the corresponding dielectric properties were analyzed respectively; statistical tests of the data were used to analyze the dielectric properties at 6 specific frequency points.
RESULTSThe dielectric properties were significantly higher in the malignant mucosa surface than in the adjacent tissues and normal colorectal tissues at the 6 specific frequency points (P<0.01). The dielectric properties decreased progressively in adjacent tissues at 1 cm and 3 cm and normal mucosa surface. The mucosal and serosal surface of malignant tissues showed significant differences in dielectric properties at 64 MHz, 128 MHz, 298 MHz, 433 MHz, and 915 MHz (P<0.01) but not at 2450 MHz (P>0.01), but such differences were not observed in normal tissues (P>0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe dielectric properties of the mucosal surface of the mucosal decrease in the order of malignant colorectal tissue, adjacent tissues at 1 cm and 3 cm from the tumor foci and normal colorectal tissues. The dielectric properties are higher in the mucosal surface than in the serosal surface in the malignant tissue, but comparable in normal colorectal tissues.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical outcome of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy with D2 dissection by comparing the efficacy of open surgery on radical gastrectomy with D2 dissection for gastric cancer patients. Methods The patients with gastric cancer from October 2008 to August 2013 were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods. Among them, 175 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopy-assisted surgery group, Group L), and 163 patients underwent laparotomy surgery (open surgery group, Group O). The number of lymph nodes dissected, postoperative recovery, complications, mortality and survival rate of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in the number of lymph nodes resect between the two groups [Group L and Group O: (26.3 ± 13.9) vs (26.8 ± 10.2), t = -0.40, P = 0.684]. Compared with open surgery, the laparoscopy-assisted surgery showed significantly less intraoperative blood loss and quicker recovery of gastrointestinal function. The postoperative hospitalization time of laparoscopic group was less than that of laparotomy group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in 3-year survival rate between the two groups (Group L vs Group O: 92.00% vs 92.63%, P = 0.262). Conclusions Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic gastrectomy is safer and has quicker postoperative recovery. There is no statistical difference in the number of resect lymph nodes between lapamscopic and open gastrectomy.

BACKGROUND: A Lenke3 type adult idiopathic scoliosis finite element model was established successfully using Mimics software. However, whether the model fits the actual conditions of individualized patients still requires a further revision and validation.OBJECTIVE: To modify and validate the Lenke3 type adult idiopathic scoliosis finite element model by finite element analysis software.METHODS: Based on the characteristics of Lenke3 adult idiopathic scoliosis model, the three-factor and three-level orthogonal experiment was used to optimize the finite element model, making it more close to the actual one. The vertebrae at T1-T4, T5-T8 and L6-S1 levels (sacral lumbarization) were loaded to simulate left and right lateral flexion,as well as extension and flexion, and the range of motion when left and right rotation were compared with Busscher and Yamamoto experiments in vitro.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) According to the orthogonal experiment, the mean difference and range of each factor and each level were calculated, and finally A1B2C3 combination was the optimal one that can make the model largely consistent with the real situation. The difference in Cobb angles between the clinical lateral flexion test and the parameter pre-modified model simulation was 54.44°, which was decreased to 2.11° after modification. Moreover, the maximum difference in each scoliosis Cobb angle of the modified model was 4.29°. (2) The simulation results of the modified model when compared with the X-ray images when left and right lateral flexion, the two data obeyed normal distribution, so the paired t test was used: left lateral flexion, P =0.082 (P > 0.05); right lateral flexion, P=0.421 (P > 0.05);supine position, P=0.160 (P > 0.05). (3) The range of motion at T1-T4 segments was as followings: left flexion, 3.25°;right flexion, 3.32°; anteflexion 2.52°; extension, 2.89°; left rotation, 3.73°; right rotation 3.76°; the range of motion at T5-T8 segments: left flexion, 1.39°; right flexion, 1.43°; anteflexion 1.35°; extension, 1.34°; left rotation 2.09°; right rotation 2.11°; the range of motion at L6/S1: left flexion: 5.17°; right flexion: 5.19°; anteflexion: 8.92°; extension: 7.35°; left rotation: 1.41°; right rotation: 1.42°. The results were almost consistent with Busscher and Yamamoto experimental results. (4) To conclude, the model is in good agreement with the patient's actual properties after modification. The modified model has good reliability and validity, and provides valid data platform for simulating clinical operation in the future.

OBJECTIVETo study the survival and growth of Vibrio cholerae inside the Acanthamoeba polyphage.
METHODSSurvival and growth of Vibro cholerae O139, co-cultured with Acanthamoeba polyphaga, was observed inside the trophozoites and cysts, using Gram stain and electron microscope.
RESULTSViable O139 was observed inside the amoebal vacuoles in 24 hours. Vacuoles were filled with more bacteria along with the longer period of co-culture. The process of O139 infection with Amoebae would include uptake, formation of O139 vacuole, multiplication, trophozoites lysed and expel under electron microscopy. Some infected trophozoites could subsequently encyst and the surviving O139 could locate in the vesicles inside the cysts.
CONCLUSIONO139 might survive and multiply in the trophozoites and reside inside the cysts of Amoebae, suggesting that Acanthamoebae might serve as one of the environmental hosts of Vibro cholerae.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical feasibility of dual-source computed tomographic urography using dual-energy virtual non-enhanced CT.
METHODSTotally 240 patients received dual-source CT, which included true non-enhanced CT (TNCT) , nephrographic phase scanning with dual-energy mode (100kVp/230mAs and Sn140kVp/178mAs) , and excretory phase scanning. A contrast bolus injection of 100 ml (370 mgI/ml) contrast agent was applied (4.5ml/s) , followed by 100ml normal saline (4.5ml/s) . Virtual non-enhanced CT (VNCT) image sets were reformatted from 'Liver VNC ' software. The mean CT number, noise, signal to noise ratio (SNR) , image quality, and radiation dose were compared between TNCT and VNCT image sets.
RESULTSThere was no significant difference in mean CT numbers of all organs (P>0.05) . However, VNCT images had significantly lower noise and higher SNR than TNCT images (both P<0.05) . Image quality of VNCT was lower than that of TNCT without significant difference (P>0.05) . Radiation dose of nephrographic phase with dual-energy mode was significantly higher than that of TNCT and excretory phase scanning (P<0.05) .
CONCLUSIONDual-energy VNCT requires less radiation dose and therefore has a potential to replace TNCT in the dual-source CT urography.
