Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, management and prognosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more. Methods Thirty-eight cases of gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more, who were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 1992 and 2002, were reviewed retrospectively. Results The median age was 52 years (range from 50 to 58 years ). The lesions included 5 hydatidiform moles (13%), 19 invasive moles (50%), 12 choriocarcinomas (32%) and 2 placenta site trophoblastic tumors (5%). All of 38 cases presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Twenty-three cases of hydatidiform moles were diagnosed at their first visit to the hospital, and 15 of them received prophylactic chemotherapy, of whom 10 progressed to invasive mole, 3 developed lung metastasis. All of the other 8 cases without prophylactic chemotherapy progressed to malignant changes with metastasis of lung. The use of prophylactic chemotherapy reduced the incidence of subsequent metastasis. All of 38 cases received chemotherapy. Thirty-two cases underwent hysterectomy, complete remission was achieved in 91% of patients; complete remission was achieved in 2 of 6 patients without hysterectomy. Conclusions The diagnosis of pregnancy and pregnancy-related disease should be considered in the elderly women presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding. Once gestational trophoblastic disease in women aged 50 years or more is diagnosed, chemotherapy should be given as soon as possible. Hysterectomy is frequently required to improve the prognosis of gestational trophoblastic disease in the elderly women.

Purpose To summarize the imaging features of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with double-filling method using multi-slice CT enterography (MSCTE), and to evaluate the clinical significance of MSCTE in diagnosis of IBD. Materials and Methods MSCTE data with double-filling method of 52 patients with IBD were retrospectively analyzed. 52 IBD patients included 42 cases of Crohn's disease (CD) and 10 cases of ulcerative colitis (UC). Bowel dilatation and lesions display were evaluated. Results Among 52 patients, ileum dilated optimal in 10 cases (19.23%) and good in 42 cases (80.77%); jejunum dilated good in 21 cases (40.38%) and poor in 31cases (59.62%). Exhaustive evaluation for large bowel diseases were good in 50 cases (96.15%). The ileocecal junction displayed well in 52 cases (100.00%). Among the 42 cases of CD, 20 cases (47.62%) had lesions limited in the small intestine, 22 cases (52.38%) had lesions involved both small intestine and colon. Among 10 cases of UC, 9 cases had lesions limited in the colon, and 1 case with the terminal ileum and the colon involved simultaneously. The MSCTE findings of 52 patients included bowel wall thickening and abnormal enhancement in 52 cases, stenosis in 28 cases, increased mesenteric vascularity in 46 cases, enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes in 27 cases, phlegmon in 10 cases, incomplete intestinal obstruction in 4 cases, abscess or inflammatory masses in 7 cases, fistulas in 3 cases, perianal lesion in 12 cases, serous cavity effusion in 15 cases, sacroiliitis in 13 cases, the urinary and biliary stones in 18 cases, and hepatosplenomegaly in 9 cases. Conclusion MSCTE with double-filling method can delineate the wall lesions of small bowels and colons very well, and can also display extraintestinal lesions and complications. It obviously improves the accuracy of localization and qualitative diagnosis on IBD.

OBJECTIVETo systematically review the efficacy and safety of sodium ferulate (SF) for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
METHODSBy computerized retrieving the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CNKI, VIP, CBM (theses, conference and internet materials), as well as data from internet materials regarding randomized controlled clinical trials of sodium ferulate for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were collected completely. Data were strictly extracted using the simple evaluation method recommended in Cochrane Handbook and Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.0 software.
RESULTSFourteen randomized controlled trials involving 906 patients met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that as compared with the control group, the effects in SF group were superior in terms of reducing urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) at early stage [WMD = 16.08, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 11.01 to 21.15] and clinical stage (WMD = 82.66, 95% CI: 66.95 to 98.37), urinary endothelin/endothelin-1 (ET/ET-1, WMD = 10.78, 95% CI: 8.18 to 13.39), levels of serum creatinine (SCr, WMD = 6.42, 95% CI: 1.83 to 11.01), blood urea nitrogen (BUN, SMD = 1.45, 95% CI: 0.19 to 2.71) and total cholesterol (TC, WMD = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.56 to 1.21, as well as in increasing high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, WMD = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.26), showing significant difference between groups. However, the effects of SF were insignificantly different to those of control in reducing fasting blood glucose (FBG, WMD = 0.17, 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.37) and triglyceride (TG, SMD = -0.13, 95% CI -0.49 to 0.23).
CONCLUSIONSAt present the evidences show that SF is superior to the conventional treatment in reducing UAER, ET, SCr, BUN, TC and increasing HDL-C, but there is no evidence to show that SF is superior in reducing FBG and TG. However, the evidence is not strong enough due to the low quality of included literature. More large-scale, multi-center, randomized trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of SF in treating diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of modified lateral approach to sciatic nerve block guided by ultrasound and nerve stimulator for foot surgery.Methods Sixty-two patients of both sexes,aged 18-60 yr,with body mass index < 30 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective foot surgery,were included in the study.Anesthesia was induced with iv propofol 2-4 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.2-0.4 μg/kg.The laryngeal mask airway was inserted and the patients were mechanically ventilated.Sevoflurane was inhaled continuously.Modified lateral approach to sciatic nerve block was performed with 0.3 % ropivacaine 30 ml under the guidance of the ultrasound combined with nerve stimulator.Rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg and propofol 1-2 mg· kg-1 · h-1 were administered after completion of sciatic nerve block.Additional sufentanil 0.10-0.15 μg/kg was intravenously injected immediately after skin incision and rocuronium 0.15 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 1 h intervals.The depth of puncture and time for puncture and success rate of puncture were recorded.Sensory block was assessed after the patients regained consciousness completely.Nerve injury,hematoma at the puncture site and infection within 72 h after surgery were recorded.Results The time for puncture was (40 ± 17) s.The depth of puncture was (5.8 ± 0.7) cm.The success rate of puncture at first attempt was 77 %.The rate of complete sensory block was 100%.The post-operative follow-up showed that no patients developed nerve injury,hematoma or infection.Conclusion Modified lateral approach to sciatic nerve block guided by ultrasound and nerve stimulator is safe and effective for foot surgery.

The roles of voltage-dependent K(+) channels during activation and damage in alveolar macrophages (AMs) exposed to different silica particles were examined. Rat AMs were collected by means of bronchoalveolar lavage, and were adjusted to 5x10(5)/mL. After AMs were exposed to different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 mug/mL) of quartz particles and 100 mug/mL amorphous silica particles for 24 h, the voltage-depended K(+) current in AMs was measured by using patch clamp technique. Meanwhile the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the viability of AMs were detected respectively. Patch clamp studies demonstrated that AMs possessed outward delayed and inward rectifying K(+) current. Exposure to quartz particles increased the outward delayed K(+) current but it had no effect on inward rectifier K(+) current in AMs. Neither of the two K(+) channels in AMs was affected by amorphous silica particles. Cytotoxicity test showed that both silica particles could damage AM membrane and result in significant leakage of LDH (P<0.05). MTT studies, however, showed that only quartz particles reduced viability of AMs (P<0.05). It is concluded that quartz particles can activate the outward delayed K(+) channel in AMs, which may act as an activating signal in AMs to initiate an inflammatory response during damage and necrosis in AMs induced by exposure to quartz particle. K(+) channels do not contribute to the membrane damage of AMs.
