Objective To investigate the value of low-dose MDCT in the diagnosis of breast cancer using ROC analysis. Methods Retrospectively analyze the breast images of 105 cases that had performed both 64-row CT and pathological examinations. The case number that underwent CT examination with routinedose parameters was 48; and that with low-dose was 57. Two radiologists with clinical experiences more than 5 years evaluated the breast lesions, respectively. And ROC curve was used to test the diagnostic efficacy of breast cancer between the two groups. Results Compared with the routine-dose group, the quality of CT image was high enough to disclose the breast lesions while the exposure dose was significantly decreased. The areas under the ROC curve between the routine-dose group (0.943) and the low-dose group (0.908) did not show significant difference (P >0.05). Conclusion Low-dose thin-slice MDCT with contrast enhancement can efficiently and safely diagnose breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the effects of Ileus tube (IT) along with somatostatin (SS) used for treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Under conventional treatment,75 patients with SAP were divided into three groups as per different additional treatments,namely group A (IT and SS),group B (nasogastric decompression tube and SS),and group C (IT alone),and the therapeutic efficacies of those treatments were evaluated in respects of improvement of physical signs and symptems,dynamic changes in decompression drainage and prognosis.Results Therapeutic efficacy was 100％ in group A,84％ in group B and 80％ in group C.The difference between group A and B was x2 =8.26 (P ＜0.01) ; group B vs.C was x2 =0.38 (P ＞ 0.05).The physical signs and symptoms in group A were improved more rapid than those in group B and C (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant differences in those signs and symptoms between group B and group C (P ＞ 0.05).In comparison of decompression drainage,the t value of group A vs.group B was 2.14,group B vs.group C was 3.83,and group A vs.group C was 2.23 (P ＜ 0.05).As cure rate of patients with SAP in hospital on the 14th day,rate of transferring to surgical treatment as a last resort and mortality in group A were compared with group B and C,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),while group B vs.C,the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Application of IT combined with SS can significantly improve the condition of patients with SAP,thereby reducing the operation rate,shortening hospital stay,lowering mortality and improving the outcome,and it is worthy of clinical popularization.

Brucellosis is an infectious-allergic anthropozoonosis caused by invasion of Brucella.It belongs to category B infectious disease in China.The epidemic situation of brucellosis is raging again in China just like the rest of world.Especially after 2000,brucellosis became one of the fastest growing infectious diseases.By 2012,all Chinese administrative units at provincial levels except Taiwan had reported the cases of brucellosis.In this paper,we analyzed the epidemic features,prevention and control of brucellosis.We elucidated deep social reasons and the root problems,which impede the prevention and control of brucellosis.We have also discovered the important problems,which should be focused on and solved in the process of prevention and control of brucellosis.

Objective To determine the expression level of microRNA-25 in animal models of diabetic nephropathy and human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) cultured in different conditions, and to explore its regulating effect on the fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy. Methods The expression of microRNA-25 was detected by real-time PCR. The downstream target protein of microRNA-25 was verified by bioinformatic prediction, transient transfection of cells and Western blotting. Results MicroRNA-25 was down-regulated in animal models of diabetic nephropathy and HK-2 cells which were cultured in high-glucose medium (P<0. 01). MAP2K4 might be the downstream target protein of microRNA-25. Overexpression of microRNA-25 reduced the protein expression of MAP2K4 and α-SMA (P<0. 01). Conclusion MicroRNA-25 inhibits the fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy by regulating the expression of MAP2K4.

Objective To study the effects of wet paking the ligustrazine phosphate to cure the effusion when using chemotherapy medicine. Methods Divided 120 patients into 2 groups randomly. In the experimental group, ligustrazine phosphate was used to cure the effusion, while in the control group, the traditional method was used. Compared the effects of differences between the two groups. Results The effects about curing the effusion in the experimental group was significant better than those of in the control group. Conclusion It is an effective method about wet packing the ligustrazine phosphate to cure the effusion when using chemotherapy medicine.

Objective:To research the solubilization of sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin ( SEB-β-CD) on voriconazole and the sta-bility of voriconazole with different pH values. Methods:Phase-solubility diagram was applied to study the solubilization of SEB-β-CD on voriconazole. Meanwhile, the impurity of voriconazole was determined to study the stability. Results:SBE-β-CD could increase the solubility of voriconazole significantly and the apparent stability constant was similar within the pH range of 5. 0-8. 0. The stability of voriconazole was decreased with the increase of pH. Conclusion:SEB-β-CD is an ideal solubilizer for voriconazole, while the stability is influenced by pH.

Objective To investigate the effects of acupoint catgut-embedding therapy(ACT) on hypothalamic of hypothalamic norepinephrine(NE),dopamine(DA),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),5-hydroxyindole acetic acid(5-HIAA) in menopause rats,and to explore the preventive and therapeutic mechanism of ACT for climacteric syndrome.Methods Sixty female SD rats were equally randomized into treatment group,model group and sham-operation group.Except the rats in the sham-operation group,the rats in other groups received removal of bilateral ovaries to establish ovariectomized menopause rat models.The treatment group received catgut-embedding on acupoints of Shenshu,Sanyinjiao and Zigong,once per week,and the treatment lasted 4 weeks.After treatment,the hypothalamic NE,DA,5-HT,5-HIAA levels were measured by radioimmunoassay.Results NE and DA levels were significantly decreased(P

There has been emergence of evidence suggesting that specific variants of the vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) family, based on their ability to regulate angiogenesis, would be pivotal in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study was aimed at determining whether high levels of VEGF-A could be found in the serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with endometriosis. VEGF-A levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum and PF from 46 patients with surgically confirmed endometriosis, and 40 controls with no clinical evidence of the disease or detectable endometriotic lesions at the time of surgical examination. The results showed the mean VEGF-A levels were significantly higher in the serum and PF of patients with endometriosis than in the controls. The VEGF-A levels in the serum and PF of patients with severe endometriosis (stages III-IV) were significantly higher than in those with minimal endometriosis (P<0.001). It was concluded that endometriosis was associated with significant modulation in the levels of circulating VEGF-A.

Objective To determine the effects of non-thermal biological effect of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (LFPEF) with 15 Hz and 30 mT on ulcer wound during the plateau stress ulcer cure.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three equal groups:control,normal cure group (NC) and exposure treatment groups (ET).The plateau rats stress ulcer models were constructed with the combination method of a hypoxic and low-pressure acclimation and the stimulation of absolute ethyl alcohol irrigating stomach.The LFPEF equipment generated the LFPEF of 15 Hz,40％ duty cycle and 30 mT to expose and treat the rats' stomach of ET group with the frequency of 3 hours each day.After 6 days of exposure treatment,the stress ulcer cure situation of each group was evaluated by the methods of macroscopic observation,the gastric juice pH values detection and ulcer index (UI) measurement.Results After 6 days of model,the macroscopic observation showed that the ulcer of NC group was worse than the that of ET group (P＜0.05).The pH values and UI of ET group were significantly different with those of NC group,and closed to those of the control group.Conclusion The nonthermal biological effect of LFPEF could promote the plateau stress ulcer cure.
