PurposeTo explore the multislice CT (MSCT) and clinical manifestations of diaphragmatic hiatus hernia with hernial sac effusion, in order to improve its diagnostic rate.Materials and MethodsMSCT data were retrospectively analyzed for morphologies and clinical manifestations in 32 patients with diaphragmatic hiatus hernia and hernial sac effusion.Results32 patients included 21 males and 11 females (χ2=0.64,P>0.05). 25 patients were older than 60 years and 7 cases younger than 60 years (χ2=13.58,P<0.01). There were 27 cases with non-viscera hiatus hernia including 23 cases of combined fat-water hernia and 4 cases of simple effusion. 5 cases were of viscera type hiatus hernia (χ2=5.47,P<0.05). 28 cases showed ascites including 23 cases with non-viscera hiatus hernia and 1 case with viscera type hiatus hernia (χ2=9.56,P<0.01). The axial images from different levels of non-viscera hiatus hernia with liquid hernial sac demonstrated quasi-circular, meniscus, ringlike and teardrop shapes.Viscera type hiatus hernia and liquid hernial sac were found to be irregular shape . All patient sufferered from dysphagia, chest distress and epigastric discomfort.ConclusionThe increased pressure gradient between thorax and abdomen driving ascites into supradiaphragmatic hernial sac and clamping by hiatus may be the main mechanism. Quasi-circular, meniscus, ringlike andteardrop were the characteristic signs of diaphragmatic hiatus hernia with hernial sac effusion.

Objective To explore the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization ( TACE ) on the apoptosis proteins fas,bax,and bcl-xl in hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) . Methods Sixty-three cases with HCC proved by histopathologically were studied, which included 42 cases treated with surgical resection alone,and 21 cases underwent TACE . The expressions of fas,bax,bcl-2 and bcl-xl were detected with immunohistochemical SP method .Results The positive rate of fas was 47.62% ( 10/21 ) in HCCs treated with TACE,and 21.43%(9/42) in those treated with surgical resection alone, there was significantly difference between the two groups(?0.05). Conclusion TACE can increase the expression of fas and decrease the expression of bcl-xl, it can increase the rate of apoptosis of HCC, make HCC lesion contract. The effect of TACE to bax need more research.

Objective:To explore the application value of MRI texture analysis in combination with imaging features to predict the WHO/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) nuclear grading in pre-operative patients with clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods:MRI images of 78 patients diagnosed as ccRCC by surgical pathology from July 2016 to July 2020 in First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to the WHO/ISUP grading system, the patients were divided into low grade group (49 cases, grade Ⅰ in 2 cases and grade Ⅱ in 47 cases) and high grade group (29 cases, grade Ⅲ in 25 cases and grade Ⅳ in 4 cases), and then were assigned to training set ( n= 63) and validation set ( n=15) in a ratio of 7∶3 using random indicator method. MRI radiological features were evaluated and MRI imaging texture features were extracted. The largest-diameter slice of lesion on cross-sectional images was selected and ROIs were drawn on T 2WI and corticomedullary phase (CMP) images, respectively. Quantitative texture analysis software MaZda was used to extract texture features, including gray-scale histogram, co-occurrence matrix, run-length matrix, gradient, autoregressive model and wavelet transform. The extracted texture features were preliminarily selected by the combination of Fisher, probability of classification errorand average correlation coefficient, and interaction information, and then the reduced texture parameters or imaging features were tested by the independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test or χ 2 test. Parameters with statistically significant differences were used to construct a multi-factors binary logistic regression model and the ROC curve was used to analyze its effectiveness in predicting high grade ccRCC. Results:In training set, there were significant differences intumor length, shape and margin, enhancement degree of CMP, vein thrombosis and 47 texture features between the low and high grade ccRCC groups. In the training set, 7 multi-factors binary logistic regression model were constructed, including radiological features model (M1), T 2WI texture features model (M2), CMP image texture features model (M3) and combination radiological features of T 2WI texture features model (M4), combination radiological features of CMP images texture features model (M5), combination T 2WI texture features of CMP images texture features model (M6) and combination of all features model (M7). The area under ROC curve of M7 in predicting nuclear grading of ccRCC was the largest, which were 0.901 (95% CI 0.828-0.974) and 0.820 (95% CI 0.564-0.974) in the training set and validation set, respectively. Conclusion:MRI texture analysis combined with imaging features is hopeful to be an effective preoperative noninvasive method in predicting WHO/ISUP grading of ccRCC.

Objective To investigate the dose- and time-effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(XGA) on collagen of myocardial fibroblasts in rats.Methods The myocardial fibroblasts of rats were separated by collagenase and trypsinase digestive method,and the cell culture system was established. After XGA in different concentrations and at different time points was administered in fibroblast culture systems,the mRNA expression levels of collagen,matrix metalloproteinases(MMP)-1,-2,-9,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP)-1 and -2 were measured with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) test.Results After XGA administration with different doses and at different time points was adminstered,the gel electrophoresis product of RT-PCR in fibroblast culture system expressed the mRNA of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagens,MMP-1,-2,-9,TIMP-1 and -2;but the mRNA expression levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagens,TIMP-1 and -2 decreased and the mRNA expression levels of MMP-1,-2,and -9 increased compared to those before XGA administration;the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagens,MMP-1,-2,-9,TIMP-1 and -2 decreased or increased gradually with the increase of doses and the prolonged time of XGA use.The mRNA expression levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ collagens,TIMP-1 and -2 were negatively related to the doses and action times of XGA(r=-0.927 to -0.637 P= 0 to 0.024);and the mRNA expression levels of MMP-1,-2 and -9 were positively related to the doses and action times of XGA(r=0.672 to 0.962 P=0 to 0.034).Conclusion XGA can markedly reduce the collagen formation of myocardial fibroblasts in rats,and its mechanisms are related to the inhibiting of collagen synthesis and the increase of collagen degradation.

Objective To study the effect of feto-matemal microchimerism in the treatment of activated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical mobilized peripheral blood cells against solid tumors. Methods Genomic DNA samples of 25 pairs of HLA haploidentical donors and recipients were extracted. The donor-derived HLA-DRB loci were detected with nested PCR-sequence specific primer(SSP) typing. The mixed lymphocyte proliferation action between the patients and respective donors, the engraftment of donor's cells and the serum levels of Th1/Th2 type of cytokines were measured with MTT,FISH and EIJSA method respectively. The survival time of patients with or without feto-matemal microchimerism were compared as well. Results Using nested PCR-SSP typing, the positive rates of feto-maternal microchimerism in the 25 pairs of HLA haploidentical donors and recipients were 40% in the maternal/children pairs and 0 in the paternal/children pairs. The chimerism positive patients showed less proliferation activity when cocultured with respective donors as compared with unrelated ones (P=0.03).Only one chimerism positive patient experienced the engraft of donor's cell 3 months after treatment as the donor derived XX chromosome was identified with FISH. When the data of chimerism positive patients were deleted, the serum levels of IFNγ 1 month after treatment dropped dramatically from 171.4 (26. 3～258.4) ng/L to 29. 4(1.2～39.9)ng/L. The survival time in chimerism positive patients of the maternal/children pairs was significantly longer than that in chimerism negative patients, which was (31.2±4. 3) months and (11.1±3.3) months, respectively (P=0.036). Conclusion Feto-maternal microchimerism might induce anergy in the HLA haploidentical donors, favor the engraftment of donor's progenitors and maintenance of positive microenvironment and prolong the survival time.
