The purpose of this study was to evaluate the features of mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer patients during endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS), and to establish the clinical method for the preoperative staging of lung cancer using EUS. The EUS patterns of 103 lymph nodes in 21 patients with lung cancer were evaluated. Confirmation of benign and malignant lymph nodes was obtained by surgical resection and pathology. The following features were compared between benign and malignant lymph nodes: short axis , long axis, distinct margins and the shape of nodes. The results showed that all of the lymph nodes were hypoechoic. Both the short axis greater than 1.0cm and distinct margins or round shape independently predicted malignant invasion ( P

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of radio gu ided surgery (RGS) in lung carcinoma by using ~18F-FDG. Methods Forty mice bearing lung adenocarcinoma were divided randomly into two gro ups according to presence or absence of the lung metastasis. A dose of 200?l (1 00?Ci) of ~18F-FDG was injected via the tail vein. The external radioimmu nography was performed after injection. All viscerae and tumor were detected i n vivo by means of a hand-held gammaray-detecting probe (GDP), and the radio active distribution was analyzed with the well-gammaray detector. Resul ts The tumor images in mice were clear, and the images were best at two hours after injection. The values of %ID/g of tumor and heart obtained by well -gammaray detector were higher than those of other organs. Ratios of tumor/norm al tissue (T/NT) except cardiac muscle being detected by GDP ranged from 3.71 t o 13.57. There was a significant difference between the radioactivity of lung t issues in lung metastasis group and that of control group (P

To prepare salvianolic acid phospholipid compound. With the compound of salvianolic acids and soybean phospholipid as the index, mono-factor experiment and orthogonal design experiment were conducted to screen its technical parameters. According to the results, the optimal preparation conditions of salvianolic acid phospholipid compound were that THF were taken as the reaction solvent, the concentration time was 3 h, the reactant concentration was 5 g x L(-1), the mass ratio of salvianolic acids and phospholipid was 1: 1.5, and the reaction temperature was 40 degrees C. The oil/water partition coefficient of the prepared salvianolic acid phospholipid compound significant increased in water and buffers with different pH values. The results of phase analysis such as DSC, XRD and FTIR indicated that salvianolic acids existed in phospholipid in an amorphous state.

Objective To summarize the experience of general anesthesia management in pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension who had to undergo cesarean section. Methods Clinical data, anesthesia methods and outcome of 6 pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension were analyzed. Among them, 1 case of patent ductus arteriosus had to undergo cesarean section twice, because the interval time of twice cesarean section was longer (2 years), and the number of pregnant women was counted to 7 cases. Results Seven patients had to undergo cesarean section with general anesthesia, and all the pregnant women′s hemodynamic were stable during the operation. After operation, 1 pregnant woman discharged from hospital against the doctor′s advices because of massive brain infarction, and the others were all rehabilitated. Seven newborns status:preterm in 3 cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 2 cases, the Apgar score of the others newborns was 9-10 scores. Conclusions Pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension have high peri-operative risk, especially those who undergo general anesthesia. To improve the survival rate, anesthetist should reinforce the perioperative care, maintain oxygen supply, reduce the stress response, maintain the preload and blood pressure, and avoid the increasing of pulmonary pressure.
