Professor Zhang Yonghong thinks that the deficiency of lung qi always exists in advanced lung cancer cases. Pathogen infection, phlegm and blood stasis are key factors to the occurrence and development of lung cancer. Clinical treatment in advanced lung cancer should emphasize on the benefiting of qi and supplementing the lung as well as reducing phlegm, removing blood stasis and disintoxication. Attention should be paid to both syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation with the combination of strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil factors according to different stages of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation,pathogenesis and imaging features of hemichorea associated with hyperglycemia in primary diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods Analyze the clinical manifestations,the neuroimaging features and the treatment of the three patients with hemichorea induced by hyperglycaemia in primary DM,and review the literatures about this disease.Results All of the three cases had a long history of uncontrolled diabetes,among whom,two were non-ketotic hyperglycemic patients and one was ketotic hyperglycemic patient.All of them had an acute onset hemichorea which was almost continuous during awakeness and ceased during sleep.The early CT findings in this disorder were high density in the caudate nucleus,putamen and/or globus pallidus on the side contralateral to the involved limbs,but showed decreased attenuation or completely resolved in about a month.T1-weighted MR images in all cases showed high-signal intensities without edema or mass effect in the diseased region which decreased after several months,while the T2-weighted images were more variable.Conclusion Hemichorea induced by hyperglycemia often happens in the patients with poorly controlled DM,and both of the non-ketotic hyperglycemic and the ketotic hyperglycemic state can be the cause.In the major affected region-corpora striata,CT shows hyperdense lesions,T1-weighted MR images show hyperintense lesions and T2-weighted images show variable lesions in the early time.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-and mid-term indwelling AO clavicular hook plate (CHP) on the shoulder function following surgery for acromioclavicular dislocation(from grade Ⅲ to grade Ⅴ by Rockwood's classification).Methods A retrospective study was done of 95 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation who had been fixed with AO CHP from December 2002 to May 2011.They were 80 men and 15 women,aged from 20 to 63 years (average,45.0 years).By the Rockwood's classification,there were 40 cases of type Ⅲ,35 ones of type Ⅳ and 20 ones of type Ⅴ.Time from injury to surgery ranged from 2 to 7 days (average,4.6 days).The CHP was indwelling in 70 patients but removed in 25 patients from 12 to 23 mouths post-surgery (average,16.5 months).The University of California (UCLA) shoulder scoring system was used to compare the shoulder functions between those with an indwelling CHP and those without,as well as between the healthy and affected shoulders among those with an indwelling plate.Results The follow-up time for all the 95 cases ranged from 7.5 months to 9 years,with an average of 38 months.Of those with an indwelling CHP,subacromial bone erosion occurred in 45,internal implant failure in 3,impingement in 13,screw loosening in 2 and frozen shoulder in 5,giving a complication rate of 97.1％ (68/70).Of those without an indwelling CHP,subacromial bone erosion occurred in 3 and no redislocation was found in this group,giving a complication rate of 12.0％ (3/25).The UCLA score for the affected shoulder among those with an indwelling CHP(27.0 ± 11.0 points) was lower than that for the healthy one (34.0 ± 1.0 points) and lower than that for the affected shoulder among those without an indwelling CHP(32.0 ± 6.5 points).Conclusion Long-and mid-term indwelling AO CHP can have a significant adverse impact on shoulder function,leading to a very high rate of postoperative complications.

Objective To probe the surgical approach and effect on upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancrea. Methods Thirty patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas or tissue around pancrea were treated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results Three patients died in 1 month after operation due to multiple organ failure. The patients with gallbladder cancer and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 35 months. The patients with gastric antrum carcinoma infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 31 months. The patients with recurrent gastric cancer infiltrating caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 13 months. The patients with pancreatic and duodenal invasion by cancer of hepatic flexure of colon were followed up averaged 41 months. The patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic lymph nodes fixed behind caput pancreatis were followed up averaged 11 months. Conclusion The patients with upper abdominal malignant tumor infiltrating pancreas should be operated by radical resection on primary tumor combined pancreaticoduodenectomy, which can increase the rate of tumor resection, and be expected to prolong the survival period.

Objective To explore the effects of baicalin in the treatment of a preeclampsia (PE) rat model by detecting the expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and cysteine containing aspartate-9 (Caspase-9) and observing the ultrastructure of mitochondria in trophoblast cells.Methods Forty-eight pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:12 in the control group and 36 in the PE model group.The PE model was established with subcutaneous injection of l-nitro arginine methyl ester with 100 mg/kg per day from the 13th day of pregnancy.Beginning from the 16th day of pregnancy,the PE rats were injected with different doses of baicalin till cesarean section,and divided into three groups:non-intervention PE model group treated with saline (NIP group),low-dose baicalin intervention group (IDB group) at 50 mg/kg per day,and high-dose baicalin intervention group (HDB group) at 100 mg/kg per day.The rat tail artery blood pressure and 24-h urine protein level were measured at pregnant day 10,16 and 20.The levels of XIAP and Caspase-9 in placenta were measured by immunohistochemistry.The ultrastructure of mitochondria of trophoblast cells of the rat placenta was observed under electron microscope.T test,F test and LSD-t test were applied for statistical analysis.Results (1) On pregnant day 10,no significant differences were observed in rat tail artery systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and 24-h urine protein level between the control group and PE model group (all P＞0.05).On pregnant day 16 and 20,the systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and 24-h urine protein level of NIP,IDB and HDB groups were significantly higher than those of control group [pregnant day 16:systolic blood pressure:(137.74±5.21),(136.15±4.86),(138.28±4.79) and (110.57±3.79) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),diastolic blood pressure:(89.58 ± 5.50),(88.45 ± 8.59),(89.42 ± 6.29) and (80.28 ± 7.36) mmHg,24-h urine protein:(7.78 ± 0.45),(7.53 ± 0.54),(7.86± 0.57) and (6.45 ± 0.56) mg;pregnant day 20:systolic blood pressure:(145.26 ± 4.67),(131.28 ± 4.34),(130.93 ± 5.33) and (110.40 ± 6.92) mmHg,diastolic blood pressure:(89.87±6.55),(85.34±7.33),(84.64±7.36) and (80.19±7.34) mmHg,24-h urine protein:(11.18±0.42),(9.65±0.54),(9.06±0.56) and (6.31 ±0.45) mg] (all P＜0.01).On pregnant day 20,the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and 24-h urine protein level in IDB and HDB groups were significantly lower than in NIP group (all P＜0.05),but showed no significant differences between IDB and HDB groups (allP＞0.05).(2) Compared with NIP group,the expression of XIAP in control group,IDB and HDB groups were significantly increased(210.39±0.78,180.56±0.82,195.36±0.96 and 192.84± 1.06,all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the expression of XIAP between IDB and HDB groups (P=0.66).The expression of Caspase-9 in control group,IDB and HDB groups were significantly decreased compared with NIP group (210.36±0.55,195.53±0.96,198.42± 1.01 and 185.25±0.64,all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the expression of Caspase-9 between IDB and HDB groups (P=0.65).Ultrastructure of mitochondria in NIP group showed different degrees of damage,matrix swelling,and mitochondrial cristae bresk or disappearance.In IDB group,mitochondrial matrix swelling was not obvious,and mitochondrial cristae were visible.In HDB group,mitochondrial cristae were neat and clear.Conclusions Baicalin may play an important role in the treatment of preeclampsia by reversing the trophoblast apoptosis and improving the ultrastructure of mitochondria through its regulation of XIAP expression and downregulation of Caspase-9 expression.

Objective To introduce our experience of performing posterior or anterior renal lip incision for partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal hilum endophytic renal cell carcinoma.Methods From Jan.2010 to Jan.2014,five female patients with renal hilum tumors were treated in our institute.The median age was 54 (51-72) years.The median tumor diameter was 4.0 (2.8-4.8) cm.The median preoperative creatinine was 53.9 (52.6-75.4) μmol/L.One of them was solitary kidney with absolute indication; three cases had basic disease with relative indication; one was with selective indication.The patients were put in supine or lateral position.After general anesthesia,we preformed partial nephrectomy by cutting posterior renal lip in 3 cases and the anterior lip in 2 cases.We clamped the renal artery,opened the renal posterior or anterior lip,then dissected the tumor beside the pseudo-capsule.After removing the tumor,we used 3-0 absorption suture to control bleeding and repair the opened collecting system.Finally,we used 2-0 absorption suture to close the renal defect.Results The median operation time was 195 (155-215) min; the median renal warm ischemia time was 35 (15-70) min; the median postoperative hospital stay was 8 (7-9) d.There was no secondary bleeding and urine leakage happened.The pathological results showed that 3 cases with clear cell carcinoma,1 with papillary carcinoma and 1 with renal medullary interstitial cell tumor.All patients showed normal kidney shape.The median postoperative creatinine was 63.0 (59.4-75.4) μmol/L.After a median follow up of 24.2 mon,all patients survive without tumor recurrence.Conclusions The short-term result of posterior or anterior renal lip incision partial nephrectomy in treating endophytic renal hilum endophytic renal cell carcinoma is safe and feasible.

Objective To study the relationship between Tei index and the myocardial enzymes in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia. Methods Forty-four newborns with mild asphyxia,27 newborns with severe asphyxia and 20 healthy newborns hospitalized in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2008 were enrolled in this study.The peak E and peak A and E/A ratio at mitral valve,the ejection fraction,isovolumetric contraction time,isovolumetric relaxation time and Tei index were measured by conventional echocardiography,and aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,and cardiac troponin T were tested also.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time in the severe asphyxia newborns were 0.62±0.13,(47±7)ms and(52±8)ms,higher than those in the mild asphyxia newborns[0.51±0.14,(41±6)ms and(43±6)ms],those in the mild asphyxia newborns were higher than in the healthy newborns[0.39±0.12,(34±6)ms and (37±6)ms] (all P<0.01).Aspartate aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase,creatine kinase and its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T in the severe asphyxia newborns were higher than in the mild asphyxia newborns and healthy group(P<0.01).Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time were positively related to the myocardial enzymes.The positive relationships were more statistically significant in Tel index,creatine kinase,its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T(r=0.762,0.821,0.778,P<0.01).Conclusions Combination of Tei index and myocardial enzymes can not only be applied to assess the cardiac function in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia,but also to evaluate the degree of cardiac dysfunction accurately and dynamically.
