Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in differentiating vertebral metastatic tumors from benign deseases after studying the early changes of signal intensity.Methods Twenty patients were scanned by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.The parameters of signal intensity were measured and calculated,and time-intensity cures(TICs)were drawn.Then,they were compared with those of normal verte- braes,the characteristics were analyzed.Results The parameters of vertebral metastatic tumors:peak signal intensi- ty,signal intensity minimum signal intensity of post-peak,peak slope,initial ratio of enhancement,maximum ratio of enhancement was respectively(50.61?11.38),(46.75?10.23),(0.73?0.12),(0.33?0.08),(1.03?0.31); that of normal vertebraes was respectively(40.53?12.12),(34.72?14.06),(0.31?0.11),(-0.25?0.05), (0.69?0.28);and ten normal cases showed negative in initial percent of enhancement,but only two abnormal ver- tebraes showed that.All of the above had significant statistical difference.Four types of TICs were concluded:early rapid rise and early rapid descent followed by steady phase(type A),persistently rise(type B),rise phase followed by steady phase(type C),rise phase followed by rapid descent phase(type D).TICs of abnormal vertebraes were respec- tively 6,5,5,5 cases;types of normal vertebraes were mainly type C,15 cases.Type A and type B and the type with the characteristic of early rapid descent phase were features of abnormal vertebraes;type C was the feature of normal ones.Conclusions Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI could quantitatively show the characteristics of early changes of signal intensity of vertebral metastatic tumors,which were significant statistically different from those of normal ver- tebraes.Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was worth performing in the early diagnosis of vertebral metastatic tu- mors.

Objective To study the surgical diagnosis and treatment of renal tuberculosis(TB). Methods The clinical data of 42 cases with renal TB were analyzed retrospectively and the experiences of clinical diagnostic and treatment were summarized. Results Cystic irritation symptoms(78.6% ,33/42)and gross hematuria(64. 3%,27/42)were the most common symptoms in these patients. Abnormal urine were found in 83.3 % cases. Acid-fast stains on urinary sediment were positive in 28.6%(12/42)of cases. The diagnostic accuracy of B-ultrasonicgraphy,IVU,retrograde pyelography and CT examination in these patients were 19.0%(8/42),33.3% (14/42),26.2%(11/42)and 71.4%(30/42)respectively. Among all cases enrolled in the study,6 patients received antiphthisic medicine treatment,3 of them were cured and the other 3 accepted nephrectomy and partial ureterectomy after 6-12 months because of severe renal function impairment 36 cases received surgical treatment. In the 39 cases treated with operation,all of them were proved to carry renal tuberculosis by the postoperative pathological examinations. Conclusions The medical history,urine analysis,image examination should be considered synthetically in the clinical diagnosis of renal tuberculosis. The patients should be followed up closely during antiphthisic treatment period. Seriously damaged or nonfunctioning kidney should be removed promptly.

The characteristic fingerprint of conventional dairy Nanhanshuishi was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD), based on similarity of caculation on public peaks by MATLAB software, and the feasibility of new dairy technology of microwave method was explored between XRD and the dissolution rate in artificial simulation gastric juices. The result showed that similarity of shared peak in XRD of conventional dairy Nanhanshuishi was > 95%, This XRD characteristic fingerprint of conventional dairy Nanhanshuishi had strong specificity, could be used to provide a reference for identification and quality evaluation. This study also showed that the similarity of microware dairy products and conventional dairy products was good, and the sample of microwave 15 min was the best, and new dairy method by the microwave could replace the traditional method.

Objective To investigate the hepatoprotective effect of silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex(SPC) in sepsis rats.Me-(thods) Fifty Wistar immature rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control(10 cases),septic group(30 cases) and interfe-(rence) group(10 cases).In septic group and interference group,rats were treated by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).Meanwhile,the interference group was given SPC before 2 hours of CLP and after 2 hours of CLP.Blood of rats was taken from all groups to determine the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),interleukin-1(IL-1),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) at varying intervals.Results The levels of serum TNF-?,IL-1,ALT and AST after CLP were significantly elevated in septic group compared with the normal control group(P

Objective To explore the effect of nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-?B) on cardiac myocyte apoptosis and understand the molecular mechanism of decrease of heart function in septic shock rats.Methods Twenty Wistar rats were randomly divided into the septic shock group and the normal control group.The septic shock group(n=10) were fixed with anaesthesia and made into 1.5 cm slices just along the abdomen midline.Then the roots of appendices were returned to the belly cavity after being ligated and punctured 4 times with the No.14 pinhead.After that,the slices were sewn up layer by layer.After 12 hours,the rats were all sacrificed,the blood taken and the serum separated.In the end,the heart specimens of the septic shock group were set aside.Meanwhile,the normal control group were dealt with in the same way except that they were not subjected to cecal ligation and puncture.Then NF-?B protein levels in cardiac tissue and the index of cardiac myocyte apoptosis were measured.Results NF-?B protein levels in the septic shock group(9 cases were strong masculine gender,1 case was middle masculine gender)elevated significantly compared with the normal control group(8 cases were negative gender,2 cases were weak masculine gender) in cardiac tissue(P

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and management and prevention of spontaneous renal allograft rupture. Methods A retrospective analysis of 12 spontaneous renal allograft rupture was conducted. Clinical presentations were similar in all patients: sudden pain and swelling over the graft and declining blood pressure accompanied by anufia. Color-ultrasound combined with clinical manifestation had higher sensitive in detecting a case. Eleven cases were performed emergency operation, 3 of them lost their kidneys, 8 of them were performed transplant-preserving operation,2 cases lost their allograft because of rerupture of the kidney. Conservative therapy was carried on 1 case. Results Five cases of transplant nephrectomy were given hemodialysis to maintain, 6 eases who had accepted surgery to retain kidney transplantation and 1 case of using conservative treatment were cured and discharged. Conclusions Acute rejection and acute tubular necrosis are the main causes of spontaneous renal allograft rupture. Color-ultrasound combined with clinical manifestation have higher sensitive in detecting a case. As soon as possibly adopting internal medicine, surgery for a joint deal with the breakdown of renal aUograft rupture is important.Prevention should begin with the removal of the kidney, operation of the renal graft, rational use of immunodepressants, and early management of transplant rejection.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and tolerability of dose-dense chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil( PF regimen)in distant metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC)patients. Methods From April 1,2008 to April 30,2014,168 patients were assigned to traditional group(n = 83) and dose-dense group(n = 85)using digital random table in 1 : 1 ratio. All patients received PF regimen,and once every 28 days in traditional group and once every 14 days in dose-dense group. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival(PFS)and the secondary endpoint was overall survival(OS),toxicity and response rate. Results The median PFS,median OS,1,2,3-year survival rate,complete response rate and objective response rate were significantly improved in dose-dense group which were 13. 3 months,20. 2 months,80. 2% , 36. 0% ,16. 1% ,16. 5% ,84. 7% ,and those in control group were 10. 0 months,16. 1 months,59. 6% , 10. 1% ,0,3. 6% ,54. 2% respectively(χ2 = 24. 47,P = 0. 000;χ2 = 16. 65,P = 0. 000;χ2 = 8. 41,P =0. 004;χ2 = 16. 96,P = 0. 000;χ2 = 14. 91,P = 0. 000;χ2 = 7. 63,P = 0. 006;χ2 = 18. 47,P = 0. 000). The rates of grade 3-4 adverse events in dose-dense and traditional group were 38. 8% and 6. 0%(χ2 = 25. 81, P = 0. 000). Conclusion Dose-dense chemotherapy of PF is more efficient and acceptable toxic than the tra-ditional one. It can be a new treatment option for patients with distant metastases of NPC.
