Objective To investigate the necessary and feasibility of fistulous tissue-saving anorectoplasty for low anorectal malformation with fistula in children.Methods The clinical data of 67 cases of low anorectal malformation with fistula were analyzed retrospectively, there were 59 girls with rectovestibular fistula, 8 boys with rectoperineal fistula. The patients′ average age were 10 months, ran -ging from 3 months to 16 years. The clinical manifestations of all patients were intractable constipation, or out of position of anus. Cut-back procedure had been performed on 4 patients in infancy. The anterior sagittal anorectoplasty was performed in all cases.Results In all cases returned for follow-up at 3 and 6 months after operation, the longest was 8 years. The postoperative course of 65 patiens was uneventful without wound infection, and had a normal-looking perineum, other 2 cases with anal rupture in operation were with sagittal wound infection resulted from perforation in repairing anus, and formed finally rectoperineal fistula with a normal-looking anus. Sixty-four cases (95.5%) had good continence by 5-6 score, another 3 cases (1 boy, 2 girls) with intractable constipation defecated with help of Glycerinum.Conclusions The fistulous tissue-saving anterior sagittal anorectoplasty is a reliable and feasible procedure for low anorectal malformation with fistula. This operation provides good results.

Objective To investigate the anti-fatigue mechanism of Relieving Fatigue Decoction(RFD). Methods 33 male SD rats were evenly randomized into control, model and RFD groups. 21d exhausted swim exercise was used to make an exercise-induced fatigue rat model. RFD group was given RFD in routine doses by gastric perfusion for 21d, once a day. After decapitation, the rats’ testis, liver and blood were taken, detecting MDA with thio-barbituric acid method, GSH and GSH-PX with chromatometry method, SOD with xanthine oxidase method, testosterone and corticosterone with ELISA method respectively. Results (1)Compared with control group, the serum MDA in model group increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH, GSH-PX reduced significantly(P0.05); the serum testosterone and corticosterone increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH increased significantly(P0.05); the liver SOD increased significantly(P0.05); the serum corticosterone decresed significantly(P0.05).Conclusion RFD may improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in liver, testis and serum, and raise serum T/C level, which may underlie its action in impoving fatigue.

Objetcive To analyze the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)features in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) of different size and to discuss the diagnostic value of CEUS in CCRCCs. Methods The contrast-enhanced and conventional US features of 80 CCRCCs confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Samples were divided into three groups by diameters: small CCRCCs (≤30 mm), medium CCRCCs(＞30 mm) and large CCRCCs(＞50 mm). The tumoral vascularity, lesion homogeneity and presence of an anechoic rim were observed on conventional US. The enhancement of echogenicity, homogeneity and pseudocapsule were evaluated on CEUS. Results Among the 80 renal masses, 32 were small CCRCCs, 28 were medium CCRCCs while the large CCRCCs were 20. On conventional US, 18.8%(6/32) of small CCRCCs, 71.4%(20/28) of medium CCRCCs and 95%(19/20) of large CCRCCs demonstrated as heterogeneous and the differences were highly statistically significant, whereas there were no differences in the tumoral vascularity and the presence of pseudocapsule sign among the three groups. On CEUS, 28.1%(9/32) of small CCRCCs, 85.7%(24/28) of medium CCRCCs and 100%(20/20) of large CCRCCs showed a homogeneous enhancement. The incidence of pseudocapsule sign in medium tumors was higher than small and large groups(71.4%,50% and 25%,respectively). There were statistically significant differences among the three groups in the enhanced homogeneity and the presence of pseudocapsule sign. However, all the three groups revealed mainly isoechoic and hyperechoic and there were no differences among them. Compared with conventional US, CEUS depicted significantly the increased tumoral vascularity (51.3% vs. 87.5%) and pseudocapsule sign(22.5% vs. 51.3%). Eight lesions demonstrated heterogeneous contrast enhancement on CEUS while homogeneous on conventional US, but there were no differences in lesion homogeneity between conventional US and CEUS findings. Conclusions Different sizes of CCRCC showed distinct CEUS features in the enhanced homogeneity and the presence of pseudocapsule sign. CEUS is more effective on improving the sonographic characteristics of tumoral visualization and may provide important information of US findings for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.

?DJ-1 has been reported to act as aredox-activated chaperone and sensor of oxidative stress participated in a variety of activities in cellular, playing an important role in resisting oxidative stress, regulating signaling pathways and gene transcription, and maintaining mitochondria dynamic balance. DJ -1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Recently, the effect of DJ-1 in eye diseases has drawn more attention, and researchers have found its significant role of resistance to oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy ( FECD) and age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) .This review will state the mechanism of DJ-1 against oxidative stress and its role in the development of eye diseases.

Borneol is a traditional Chinese medicine. In the past few years, many studies showed that borneol can improve the bioavailability of other drugs, promoting drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier, so the potential drug interactions between borneol and other medicines have attracted great attention, but the influence of borneol to CYP450 and its isoforms are rarely reported. In this research, male Wistar rats were orally administered by borneol for 7 days, then the mRNA and protein expression and the activities of CYP2D were detected, we also compared the pharmacokinetic parameters of CYP2D's specific substrate between control group and borneol group. The results show that borneol (33, 100 and 300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) have no significant effect on CYP2D, while the activites of CYP2D increased 1.71, 1.97 and 2.89 times comparing to the control group. At the same time, borneol (300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) caused the C(max) decreased 10.6% (P > 0.05), AUC(0-∞) decreased 27.5% (P < 0.01), CL/F increased 41.1% (P < 0.01), V(z)/F increased 23.1% (P > 0.05) of dextromethorphan. Our data provided that borneol speed up dextromethorphan's elimination in vivo. Since the activity of CYP2D can be induced by borneol, the metabolic interactions might happen when borneol and the substrate drug CYP2D are used together.
