Objective To analyze and summarize the MR findings of intraspinal primary melanocytie neoplasms.Methods Five cases of intraspinal primary melanocytic neoplasms were retrospectively analyzed with emphasis on the location,growth pattern and MR signal intensity features of the tumors.Results A total of six tumors were found in five cases (one case had two tumors).The tumors were located in the cercival spine (2),thoracic spine (2),thoracolumbar junction (2) respectively.One tumor was located in the intramedullary space and 5 tumors in the extrumedullary-intradural space.Growth of the tumors were limited in the intradural space without evidence of extradural extension.The intramedullary tumor exhibited hyperintensity on both T2WI and T1 WI.The intradural tumors showed hyperintensity on T1WI and hypointensity or isointensity on T2WI of various degree.Three of these tumors were predominantly hyperintense on T1 WI and homogeneously hypointense on T2WI.Conclusion The intraspinal primary melanocytic neoplasms could be diagnosed pre-operatively due to their unique signal intensity features on imaging.

Objective To explore the correlations of adult attachment with interpersonal conflict resolu-tions styles and differences between soldiers and employees. Methods Relationship questionnaire (RQ),experi-ence in close relationships (ECR),and Rahim handling interpersonal conflict inventory (ROCI-II) were adminis-tered to 543 employees from different enterprises in Beijing and Liaoning province and 701 soldiers. Results The results suggested the distribution of adult attachment style between soldiers and employees were significantly differ-ent. Compared with employees, there were higher dismissing hat lower secure rate in soldier sample. On handling interpersonal conflict strategy indices, such as integrating, avoiding, dominating and obliging but not compromising (t_((1120))=1.97, P<0.05), there were no significant differences between soldiers and employees. Only on in-tegrating, there were significant ditterenees among four adult attachment styles (F_((3,1009))=10.18, P<0.001).Attachment avoidance had a significantly negative correlation with integrating, obliging and compromising (r=-0.31,-0.11,-0.13 respectively), while attachment anxiety had moderate but significant correlations with a-voiding, dominating and obliging and compromising (r=0. 16,0.35, 0.35, 0.39, 0.30 respectively). Conclu-sion Adult attachment is closely related to handling interpersonal conflict strategies, and there was difference on compromising between soldiers and employees.

Objective To investigate the effect of decompression with long-segment (L) or short-segment (S) fusion on the outcomes of the surgical treatment for degenerative adult scoliosis (ADS) patiens.Methods A retrospective study on 32 patients treated in our department for ADS from April 2013 to May 2015 was carried out, including 12 male and 20 female (1 : 1.7).Their average age was 66.4 (range: 51-77 years).All patients underwent decompression and fusion surgeries through posterior approach.They were divided into long-segment fusion group (L) and short-segment fusion group (S) according to fusion range.During follow-ups (FU), clinical outcomes were assessed by means of visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).Radiographic evaluation on full-length standing film included coronal Cobb's angle, distant between C7plumb line and center sacral vertical line (C7PL-CSVL), thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle, lumbar lordosis (LL) angle, pelvic incidence (PI), and pelvic tilt (PT), PI-LL, sagittal vertical axis(SVA).Postoperative complications were also recorded.Results All patients were followed up for average 2.2 years (range:1.5-3.5 years).No significant difference of age or gender was found between two groups (L: 22, S:10) of patients (P=0.066, 0.182).As for the fusion segments, group L (6.3±1.5) was more than group S (2.9±0.3) (P=0.001).Operation time and blood loss of group L were statistically more than group S (P＜0.05).Postoperative VAS sores of back pain and leg pain as well as ODI were all improved significantly in two groups (P＜0.05).At the final FU, back pain VAS was more in group L than in group S (P＜0.05) , but no significant difference was found in leg pain VAS between two groups (P＞0.05);at the final FU, group L's ODI showed better functional recovery than group S's[(12.8±9.3)％ vs.(25.4±11.4)％, P＜0.05].With no obvious difference in the two groups (P＞0.05), coronal Cobb's angle corrected more satisfactional in group L than group S (P＜0.05).The same situation was found in C7-CSVL correction in two goup in FU (P＜0.05).Sagital balance was restored to normal alignment better in group L than group S, with increase of lumbar lordosis after surgery.The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 31.3％, including wound infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, transient neurological symptoms and internal fixed rod breakage, more common in group L than group S.Conclusions Decompression and fusion with internal fixation showed good clinical outcomes in the treatment of ADS.Long-segment fusion yielded better coronal and sagittal correction outcomes with higher peri-operation risks;however, short-segment fusion showed higher safety with relatively inferior correction effect.Appropriate fusion mode should be chose according to the patient's deformity features.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transrectal ultrasound guided transurethral balloon dilation of the prostate (TUDP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of 23 men with BPH who had undergone TUDP were retrospectively analyzed,including 16 men with indwelling urinary catheters before the operation.During the TUDP,the prostatic apex and membranous urethra were dilated by inner balloon,and the prostatic urethra and bladder neck were dilated by outer balloon.The patients were followed up at the 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation,and the observation parameters included subjective symptoms,such as international prostatic symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) score,and objective parameters,such as maximum flow rate (Qmax) and post-void residual (PVR).Results The operation time was 30-165 min,and the intraoperative hemorrhage volume was 5-50 ml.The IPSS scores at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were 10.4± 4.2,8.7±3.2,9.5±4.6 and 8.3±1.5 respectively,which were significantly decreased in comparison to the IPSS score (22.0±7.2) before the operation (P＜0.05).The QOL scores at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were 2.1±1.1,1.6±1.0,1.8±1.1 and 1.6±1.0 respectively,which were significantly improved in comparison to the QOL score (4.9±0.9) before the operation (P＜0.05).The Qmax at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were (10.5±3.4),(12.4±4.2),(10.9±3.9) and (12.7±4.6) ml/s respectively,which were significantly increased in comparison to the Qmax(1.9± 1.9 ml/s) before the operation (P＜0.05).There were 5,4,2 cases of urinary incontinence at the 1st,2nd and 3rd month after the operation,but they recovered at the 4th month follow-up.Besides,there were 3 cases suffered from epididymitis.Conclusion Transrectal ultrasound guided TUDP is a safe,effective and cheap option for the treatment of BPH,especially for the primary hospitals.

Aim To explore the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Liu weiwuling Tablets (LW-WL)in concanavalin A (ConA)induced acute immu-nological liver injury in mice.Methods Mice were randomly divided into control,model,Bicyclol,LW-WL low dose (8 g·kg-1 )and LWWL high dose (16 g ·kg-1 )group.The medicattion was performed once daily for seven consecutive days,then the model of im-munological liver injury was prepared by intravenous injection of ConA (15mg·kg-1)in the tail of mice in each group except for the control group one hour after the last treatment.The pathological changes of liver tissues of mice were evaluated by HE staining with, and the levels of alanine amino transferase (ALT),as-partate aminotransferase (AST),and total bilirubin (TBIL)in serum were analyzed by colorimetric meth-od;the level of interleukin 12 (IL-12 ),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleu-kin 4 (IL-4)and interleukin 10 (IL-10)in liver was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR);the changes of Th1 (IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-4)cells were observed by flow cytometric (FCM)analysis;the expression of Th1/Th2 transcrip-tion factor T-bet/GATA-3 in liver tissue was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with normal con-trol group,the serum ALT,AST and TBIL were signif-icantly increased in model group, the pathological damage of the liver tissue was severe,and the necrosis and apoptosis of hepatic cells were large, which showed that the model was successful .Compared with model group,both low and high dose of LWWL could significantly reduce ALT,AST,TBIL levels in serum induced by ConA;Th1 cells in the spleen decreased, while Th2 cells increased;the expressions of IL-12, IFN-γand TNF-αmRNA were significantly inhibited with IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA expression elevated in mouse liver tissue;the expression of GATA-3 protein was up-regulated,T-bet protein expression showing no significant changes.Conclusion LWWL could regu-late Th1/Th2 balance,thus inhibiting the acute immu-nity hepatic injury induced by ConA.

Objective:To explore the safety, feasibility and clinical value of the "posterior colon approach, uncinate process first" of total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in low volume hospitals.Methods:The clinical data of 3 patients who underwent complete laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy were analyzed from January 2020 to August 2020.Results:All the 3 patients successfully underwent total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. For the 3 patients, the operative time was 430, 385 and 425 min, and the blood loss was 550, 420 and 400 ml. After the operation, no pancreatic fistula, bile leakage, intestinal fistula and astric emptying disorder were found in the patients. The exhaust time of the 3 patients was 4, 5 and 5 days after the operation, respectively. On the 6th day after the operation, the gastric tube was removed. The extraction time of the abdominal drainage tube of the 3 patients was the 7th, 7th and the 9th day, and the postoperative hospital stay was 18, 15 and 16 days, respectively. Postoperative pathological diagnosis results showed that the 3 patients included 1 case of pancreatic head high-moderately differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case of duodenal ampullary high-moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of duodenal papillary well-differentiated adenocarcinoma.Conclusions:"Posterior approach of uncinate process" is safe and feasible in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. It can be popularized in low volume hospitals.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a hidden onset and rapid progress. Most of the patients have lost the opportunity of surgery at the onset, and the systemic treatment effect is not satisfactory. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with targeted therapy have brought hope to HCC patients. In particular, treatment with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab has been recommended by many domestic and foreign guidelines as the first-line treatment for patients with unresectable HCC who have not previously received systematic treatment. In this review, the application status of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, coping strategies for treatment failure, cost-benefit analysis and side effects were described in order to provide reference for clinical treatment.
