Objective To investigate the advantage and diagnosis rate of different image examination in breast diseases.Methods From January 2010 to February 2014,all image examination data of 389 breast disease pa-tients who received surgical operation were collected and analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent color Doppler ultrasound examination.Breast X-ray photographic examination was performed in 325 patients,and MRI ex-amination in 188 patients,while 122 patients received MSCT examination.Results All surgical specimens were ex-amined and diagnosed pathologically.Of all the patients,176 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer(including 117 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma,48 cases of mucinous carcinoma,and 11 cases of carcinoma simplex),213 patients were confirmed as benign lesions (including 86 cases of adenomas,35 cases of intraductal papilloma,14 cases of lipoma,26 cases of atypical hyperplasia,34 cases of cystic hyperplasia,3 cases of fibroids,12 cases of adenomyosis, 2 cases of phyllodes tumor,and 1 cases with inflammation).The diagnosis rate with color Doppler ultrasound was 91.0%(354 /389),and the results showed suggestive of malignancy was 75.0%(132 /176 cases).The diagnosis rate with breast X-ray photographic examination was 89.5% (291 /325 cases),and suggestive of malignancy rate was 89.8%(158 /176).The diagnosis rate with MRI was 92.0%(173 /188),suggestive of malignancy was 93.8%(165 /176).The diagnosis rate with MSCT was 91.8% (112 /122),while the suggestive of malignancy was 92.0%(162 /176).Conclusions Both MRI and MSCT have a high diagnostic value than other image examination in discriminat-ing benign and malignant breast diseases.However,there is no difference in diagnosis rate in breast diseases whenever color Doppler ultrasound,breast X-ray photographic examination,MRI or MSCT was used.

The effects of monoterpene perilly alcohol (POH) alone or in combination with STI571 on the proliferation and apoptosis of the cell line K562 positive for Bcr/Abl were investigated. By using cell culture, the effect of the drugs on the proliferation of the cells was studied. TUNEL and flow cytometry assay of FITC-Annexin V and PI labeled cells were applied to detect the effects of the drugs on the apoptosis of the cells. The results showed that at 36 h, IC50 of POH on K562 positive for Bcr/Abl and HL-60 negative for Bcr/Abl were 81.0 +/- 11.3 micromol/L and 113.6 +/- 23.4 micromol/L respectively (P>0.05). POH could inhibit the proliferation of K562 in a time- and dose-dependent manner with the inhibitory rate of 100 micromol/L POH on K562 cells at 36 h being (53.2 +/- 3.65)%. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. IC50 of STI571 on K562 cells in 36 h was (0.256 +/- 0.054) micromol/L. In a time- and dose-dependent manner, POH induced the apoptosis of K562 cells with the percentage of apoptotic cells by 100 micromol/L POH at 40 h being (21.0 +/- 3.3)%. Both 100 micromo/L POH and 0.2 micromol/L STI571 had the same inhibitory effects on the K562 cells at 36 h. But at 12 and 24 h, the inhibitory rate of POH was significantly higher than that of STI571 (P<0.05) and the ability of STI571 inducing apoptosis at 36 h was greater than that of POH. 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could obviously increase the inhibitory effects on the cellular proliferation. Combined use of 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L, 200 micromol/L with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could strongly induced apoptosis, especially 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571. It was concluded that the antileukemia effect of POH had no obvious Bcr/Abl positive selectivity. POH can inhibit the proliferation of K562 and induce the apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. POH in combination with STI571 could obviously enhance the abilities of STI571 inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.

Objective To observe the efficacy of the combination of moxibustion and pressing beans on auricular in the treatment of elderly patients with chronic diarrhea.Methods 45 elderly patients met the diagnostic criteria for diarrhea were divided into two groups,the treatment group (23 cases) received the treatment of combined moxibustion with ear pressure beans,the control group (22 cases) received traditional Chinese medicine treatment.The efficacy was observed and compared after two weeks.Results The effective rate reached 95.6％ in the treatment group,81.8％ in the control group (statistically significant difference,odds ratio 1.16).Conclusion Combined ear pressure beans with moxibustion treatment will receive a significant effect for the elderly patients with chronic diarrhea.The therapy is worth clinical application.

After the concept of symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine was defined, the classification of symp-toms in traditional Chinese medicine and the characteristics of clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine were described .It was suggested that the symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine should be classified into 3 kinds, namely symptoms and signs according to the 4 diagnostic methods, symptoms and signs according to the diagnostic devices, symptoms and signs according to the physical constitutions of patients in order to lay a foun-dation for improving the classification in clinical term system of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of artificial liver support system (ALSS)on serum high -sensitivity C -reactive pro-tein (hs -CRP)level and investigate the influence of the change in hs -CRP level on clinical prognosis among patients with hepatic failure. Methods Patients were recruited into three groups:group one included 60 patients who received ALSS due to hepatic failure;group two in-cluded 37 patients with hepatic failure without ALSS treatment;and group three included 37 patients with chronic hepatitis B.The serum levels of hs -CRP were measured in groups two and three,and in group one before and after ALSS treatment.Comparison of continuous data between groups was made by t test,and comparison of categorical data was made by chi -square test.Results The levels of hs -CRP in group one before treatment and in groups two and three were 12.89 ±9.39,12.22 ±9.73,and 2.83 ±6.79,respectively.No significant difference in hs -CRP level between group one and group two was observed (P >0.05).However,the hs -CRP level in group three was significantly different from those in group one and group two (P <0.001 ).The improvement rate in group one after ALSS treatment (78.3%)was significantly higher compared with that in group two (54.05%)(χ2 =6.315,P <0.05).ALSS treatment (t =5.179,P <0.05).ALSS treatment was selectively effective in a subgroup of patients and greatly decreased the hs -CRP level in these patients (t =5.344,P =0.000),resulting in a significant difference from the patients who were unresponsive to ALSS treatment (t =2.368,P =0.038).Conclusion Artificial liver support system can decrease the hs -CRP level in patients with hepatic failure.Serum level of hs -CRP can be used as a clinical indicator of disease progression and predict the clinical outcomes of ALSS in patients with hepatic failure.

In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be one of the key factors of post transcriptional gene regulation, which are involved in occurrence and development of many diseases. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has become an effective alternative treatment approaches for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the most important factors leading patients to withdraw from long-term PD, hence restricts the application and development of PD. MicroRNAs are closely related to the development of peritoneal fibrosis. This article reviews the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis and treatment of peritoneal fibrosis.

[Objective]To discuss the alterations of sesamoid position before and after opertation and its relation to the function of the metatarsophalangeal joints.[Methods]Eighty feet(39 hallux valgus feet,41 normal foot) were selected.The distance from sesamoids to the second metatarsal,the relative position of sesamoid bone to the first metatarsal bone,the function of the first metatarsophalangeal joints were determined and analyzed.[Results]The distance from sesamoid to the second metatarsal had no statistical significance in normal feet compared with the hallux valgus feet(P

Objective To discuss the feasibility and safety of early enteral nutrition (EN) on treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its influence. Methods The advancement about application of early EN on treatment of SAP in recent years were reviewed. Results In patients with SAP, early EN via catheter placed in the jejunum could protect the integrity of intestinal barrier and reduce infectious complications. But no consensus had been reached about the starting time, ingredient and infusion mode yet. Conclusion Early EN may have positive effects on treatment of SAP, but further researches are still needed.

Objective To detect normal rat jejunum epithelial cells to learn about the distribution of peptide YY(PYY)receptor and measured two important parameters of PYY receptor so as to explore the target that PYY binds to and display its physiological function.Methods Receptor radioligand assay was conducted by using 125I-PYY to detect normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.We also measured receptor dissociation constant(Kd),the affinity or the ability that the receptor could bind ligand;maximum binding capacity(Bmax),the concentration of binding site;and Hill coefficient.Results There were PYY receptors in normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.Dissociation constant(Kd)of PYY receptor was(386.69?129.95)pmol/L.Maximum binding capacity(Bmax)was(303.21?116.85)fmol/mg protein.Hill coefficient was 1.PYY receptor had high affinity.Conclusion There are distributions of PYY receptors in normal rat jejunum epithelial cells.Kd means that PYY receptor has high affinity.Bmax means that the number of receptors is limited and decides the characters of saturability.We think that PYY directly inhibits secretion by binding to PYY receptor in jejunum epithelial cells when PYY inhibiting jejunum secretion.
