Objective To evaluate the application of Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)in preoperative diagnosis of gastric cancer and staging. Method 78patients were assigned to EUS and gastroscope examination before operation,the staging result were compared with pathological staging result. Result Compared with pathological staging,the accurate rate of EUS in T staging and N staging before gastric cancer was 85.9% and 80.77%. Conclusion EUS can be used in judgment of gastric cancer staging accurately,may be of significance in the decision of operation plan.

Objective To compare the treatment effects of minimally invasive exfoliation's point of varicose veins pump-stripping surgery and traditional treatment of varicose veins of lower extremity surgery.Methods 106 cases with lower extremity varicose veins were simple randomly divided into A,B groups.A team exfoliation new minimally invasive devices for minimally invasive varicose veins stripping point-pumping operation,B group is the traditional line of lower extremity venous stripping pump surgery,after the results of comparative assessment.Results Hemorrhage (15.3 ± 5.4) mL,operation time (58.9 ± 14.3) min,hospitalization time (4.8 ± 1.3) d and operation cost (5124.5 ± 524.7) yuan of group A were lower than those of group B [(65.4 ± 25.1) mL,(72.5 ± 18.6) min,(6.8 ±2.4) D and (6 179.6 ± 623.8) yuan] (P =0.023,0.035,0.019,0.027).Conclusion The minimally nvasive exfoliation's saphenous vein high ligation stripping point-pumping operation not only small wounds,easy to operate,and less post-operative complications and rapid recovery,and on the cost of hospitalization is superior to traditional surgery.

Objective To investigate the species composition and quantitative dynamic state of rodent and parasitic flea in Huairou District of Beijing City,and to carry out serologic monitoring of animal plague.Methods Rodent density was investigated at different habitats in eight villages and towns between 2009 and 2011.Serum samples from captured rodents were detected by indirect hemagglutination test,and genotypes of collected parasitic fleas were identified.Results A total of 709 rodents which belong to eight different kinds were captured with a rodent density of 2.52％ (83/3 300),and Rattus niviventer and Apodemus peninsulae were dominant species,acounted for 46.4％ (329/709) and 18.1％(128/709),respctively.Five hundred and sixty-three serum samples of rodents were tested by plague indirect hemagglutination,and all of them were plague antibody negative.Two hundred fleas were checked with a flea infected rate of 29.63％ (48/162),and a flea index of 1.23; Paraceras crispus and Leptopsylla pavlovskii were dominant flea species,a total of 30 and 27,respectively.Conclusion Some environment conditions are suitable for rodents survival,even though there is no sign of animal plague epidemic.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a single-stranded and positive-sense RNA, which has a single ORF (open reading frame), encoding a polyprotein precursor. Non-structural protein 3 (NS3) plays an important role in processing the polyprotein precursor and has become an important drug target of flavivirus. In this study, NS2BH-NS3 gene was amplified by PCR and subcloned to the prokaryotic expression plasmid, resulting pET30a-NS2BH-NS3. The fusion protein was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) in soluble form after induction by Isopropyl beta-D-1-Thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity column. Then a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method was used to determine enzymatic activity and the assay conditions were optimized. After screening 113 compounds, we found two compounds inhibiting the activity of NS2BH-NS3. This study provides a convenient and cost-effective method for screening of JEV NS3 protease inhibitor.

Objective To investigate the impact of continued ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)for 1 month,thus to provide effective therapy to control the symptoms of uremia in early stage. Methods A total of 129 nephrotic patients in final stage were treated with CAPD ,dialysis adequacy were assessed after 1 month of CAPD. Complications and biochemical indicators were compared between before and after 1 month of CAPD. Results The dialysis adequacy was good at the end of 1 month of CAPD. Compared to before CAPD,The prevalence of edema after 1 month of CAPD significantly decreased compared to before CAPD (7.8%vs. 24.8% ,χ2 = 13.765, P ＜ 0.05 ). After CAPD gastrointestinal, symptom, such as nausea and vomit significantly decreased from 66.7% to 6. 2% ( χ2 = 101. 821, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Itch of skin significantly decreased from 22. 5% before CAPD to 6. 2% after CAPD(χ2 = 13.914,P ＜0. 05) . Hemoglobin increased significantly from (79. 10 ± 17.13 ) g/L to (96. 50 ± 18. 69 ) g/L after CAPD ( t = - 6. 333, P ＜ 0. 01 ), serum calcium was sisilar, ( 1.99 ± 0.30) mmol/L and (2.07 ± 0. 20) mmol/L at before and after CAPD respectively ( t = -1. 920,P ＞0. 05). Albumin was (30. 62 ±5.24) g/L before CAPD and after CAPD(31.84 ±5.64) g/L ,with no significant difference ( t= - 0.333, P ＞ 0. 05 ) . Serum inorganic phosphorus, kalemia, urea nitrogen and creatinine concentration significantly decreased from ( 2. 06 ± 0. 54 ) mmol/L, ( 4.30 ±: 0. 68 ) mmol/L, 22. 00( 15.87,30.03 ) mmol/L and 864. 00 ( 733.00,1046. 25 ) μmol/L to ( 1.72 ± 0. 52) mmol/L, ( 3.84 ± 0.47 )mmol/L , 17.00 ( 13.91,20. 91 ) mmol/L and 777. 50 ( 627.00, 1047.75 ) μnol/L, respectively ( t = 3.284,4. 669, Z = - 3.717 and - 2. 408, respectively,Ps ＜ 0. 01 or 0. 05 ).. The level of serum PTH increased slightly from [ 184. 80 ( 114. 21,369. 77) ng/L to 226. 26 ( 124. 22,335.92 ) ng/L, but the difference was not significant ( Z = - 0. 597, P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion CAPD had significant effect in early stage of dialysis with good dialysis adequacy. Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia can be improved. The levels of serum kalemia decreased. The iatients's quality of life significantly improved.

Objective To explore the in vivo killing effects of nanosecond pulsed electric fields on mouse breast cancer in tumor bearing BALB/c mice. Methods Twenty four BALB/c mice models with subcutaneous EMT-6 breast cancer were prepared and divided into experimental group and control group (n=12). In experimental group, the mice were treated by the pulsed electric fields with peak voltage of 700 V/cm, rise times of 57 ns, durations of 70μs and duty ratio of 50%on the tumor tissue with two parallel electrodes under anaesthesia. One hundred pulses were given and the energy was just 9.75 J with effective action period of 7 ms. Tumor volume, animal weight and histopathologic changes after 1, 3, 5 and 7 d were observed after irreversible electroporation. Results The tumor volume in experimental group increased more slowly than that in control group, especially at the 1-3 d after treatment with a standstill. Histopathological examination results showed that the tumor tissue had obvious coagulation necrosis and tissue edema after electrical stimulation treatment, and mass vacuole like structure appeared in tumor tissue from the third day after treatment and vascular injury occurred at the early stage. Conclusions In the given field conditions, steep pulsed electric field has inhibitory effect on tumor growth. In order to achieve more ideal tumor therapy effect, further studies on steep pulse dose are needed.

Objective To explore the characteristics of MRI images and pathological features of demyelinating pseudotumor (DPT).Methods Five patients with demyelinating pseudotumor were histologically confirmed.Their MR imaging were re-viewed and the enhancement patterns were analyzed.Results Among the five cases with demyelinating pseudotumor,single le-sion was found in 4 cases,and multiple lesions in 1 case.Most lesions had a clear boundary and these space occupying lesions were irregular (3 cases).The signal intensity on T1 WI was lower than edema,and it had a specific “core and halo”feature,du-al-high signal with different intensity on T2 WI,slightly higher signal intensity on DWI,and on enhanced MRI,nodular or patch-y enhancement and open ring enhancement with edema around the lesions were observed.The pathological results showed that the demyelination occurred but the neuraxon survived,lymphocytes were infiltrated,glial cells were proliferated,megakaryo-cytes also could be found,and multiple monocyte-macrophages were all around the lesions.Conclusion The MRI of DPT has some characteristic features.
