Purpose To explore the ultrasonic features of tibial nerve (TN) in tarsal tunnel of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and to provide the basis for assessment and treatment. Materials and Methods Fifty-four patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into the DPN group including 31 patients with diabetic periphreal neuropathy and the non-DPN group including 23 patients without diabetic periphreal neuropathy, 22 cases of non diabetic patients were also enrolled as the control group, all the subjects underwent medial tibial nerve ultrasound examination, and the ultrasonic features of tibial nerve (including morphological parameters:left-right diameter, anterior-posterior diameter, thickness sectional area and color Doppler lfow signals) were compared. Results Left-right diameter and anterior-posterior diameter of DPN group were larger than those of non-DPN group and the control group (P<0.01). Ultrasonic features of tibial nerve of DPN group included nerve bundle hypoechoic, vaguedscreen clothstructure, thickening and fuzzy of neural membrane, and the unclear boundaries to adjacent tissue. There was no statistically signiifcant difference in color Doppler signal of TN (P>0.05) among the DPN group, non-DPN group and the control group. Conclusion There are some characteristics features of tibial nerve in tarsal tunnel of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with DPN, ultrasound can be used to evaluate the morphology of TN in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with DPN and to provide morphological basis for evaluation and treatment selection.

Objective To compare the image quality and radiation dose between prospective ECG-trigering and retrospective ECG gating technique in coronary artery imaging. Methods 33 patients suspected coronary artery disease were included in this study and divided into experimental group (prospective ECG-triggering coronary artery imaging, heart rate < 65 bpm, 16 patients)and control group (retrospective ECG gating coronary artery imaging, heart rate < 75 bpm, 17 patients). Radiation dose was recorded for statistical analysis. At the same time, image quality was evaluated. Results There were no significant differences in image quality 3.2 msy. Effective dose reduced 76.47 %. Conclusions Prospective ECG gating coronary artery imaging can obtain the similar image quality compared with prospective ECG gating coronary artery imaging but the effective dose reduced 76.47 %. Prospective ECG gating coronary artery imaging has clinical value to peoples who are able to not accept high radiation dose and with low heart rate.

Objective To investigate the effect of different dose of dexmedetomidine for pre-venting the visceral traction reaction during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia.Methods Two hundred ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients,full-term primiparas scheduled for elective cesarean sec-tion were enrolled in this randomized,placebo-controlled study.Patients were randomly allocated to receive dexmedetomidine in four groups:group C (0.9% normal saline),group D1(dexmedetomidine 0.6 μg/kg),group D2(dexmedetomidine 0.8 μg/kg),group D3 (dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg),50 cases in each group.Two minutes after cutting umbilical,groups D1,D2,D3 received an intravenous infusion single-dose of 0.6,0.8,1.0 μg/kg dexmedetomidine respectively for 10 minutes.Group C was injected the same dose of saline.Maternal blood pressure (BP),heart rate (HR),Ramsay scores,visceral traction reaction conditions were recorded at three points:before iv (T0 ),10 min af-ter iv (T1 )and abdominal exploration (T2 ).Results As for the inhibition of visceral traction pain, groups D2 and D3 were obviously better than groups D1 and C,and there was no statistically signifi-cant difference between groups D2 and D3 at T2 (P <0.05 ).The effects of slowing down heart rate and increasing blood pressure were weaker in group D2 than that in group D3 at T2 .Ramsay scores were higher in groups D2 and D3 than in groups D1 and C (P <0.05),and there was no significant difference between groups D2 and D3 at T2 .Conclusion Administration of dexmedetomidine 0.8 μg/kg could alleviate the visceral traction reaction and had little effect on maternal hemodynamics.

To investigate the effect of semi-joint prosthesis replacement in treating osteosarcoma around the knee joint,15 children with osteosarcoma around the knee joint underwent semi-joint prostheses replacement and removal of the section with tumor from October 1998 to July 2006.Imageology showed that tumor of 9 children was located at the distal femur,and 6 cases at the proximal tibia.The pathologic changes involved the upper segment of the tibia 9-11 cm in length.All the children had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma by pathological examination,which was graded as stage Ⅱ a according to Enneking staging system.All the patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy preoperatively for 1-2 courses.The size of prosthesis was determined based on preoperative X-ray,CT and MRI.The length of the prosthesis should be 1.0-2.0 cm longer than that of the excised bone.Patellar and collateral ligaments were reconstructed in the artificial semi-knee joint prosthesis.All the 15 patients had a successful semi-joint prosthesis replacement.During the follow-up of 2 to 6 years,body height of the children increases by 4-6 cm,and the affected limbs shortened 1-3 cm.All children could live and study normally.There were 7 excellent,5 good,2 fine and 1 poor according to Enneking evaluation system.The semi-joint prosthesis replacement in the limb salvage surgery for child osteosarcoma around the knee joint can reconstruct knee joint function,remain normal osteoepiphysis,minimize affected limb crispation after operation,and create the condition for total knee replacement in adults.

Objective:To observe the effect of xylitol on the cyclooxygenase(COX)-2 expression of renal tubule in diabetic rats.Methods:The Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group(group NC),diabetes control group(group DC),5% xylitol-treated group(group 5%),10% xylitol-treated group(group 10%)and 20% xylitol-treated group(group 20%).At the end of 8 weeks,the expression of COX-2 in kidney tissue,the level of serum uric acid,allantoin and creatinine were tested in rat groups.Results:The levels of serum uric acid and allantoin were higher in group 5% and group 10% compared with that of group DC.The differences in levels of serum uric acid and allantoin were statistical significance between group 10% and group DC(P ＜ 0.05),whereas,the lower levels of serum uric acid and allantoin were found in group 20% compared with those of group DC(P ＞ 0.05).The levels of urine uric acid and allantoin were lower in group 5% and group 10% than those of group DC(urine uric acid,P＞ 0.05 and allantoin,P＜ 0.05),whereas,group 20% had higher levels of urine uric acid and allantoin than those of group DC(P＜ 0.05).The fractional excretion of uric acid(FEUA)was lower in group 5% and group 10% compared with that of group DC(P ＜ 0.05).The FEUA was higher in group 20% than that of group DC(P ＜ 0.05).The expression of COX-2 was significantly increased in group 5% and group 10% compared with that of group DC(P ＜ 0.05),but the expression of COX-2 decreased in group 20%(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The lower and mediate doses of dietary xylitol could aggravate the tubular injury through increasing the level of serum uric acid and the expression of COX-2 in renal tubule.The higher doses of xylitol could increase the excretion of uric acid and down-regulate the expression of COX-2 in renal tubule.
