Objective To improve the recognition of various CT appearances of hepatoblastoma(HB) and evaluate the role of CT in diagnosis. Method In a total of 24 cases, abdominal scan was performed. In 12 of them contrast enhanced CT was available. The CT manifestions of the 24 HB cases were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with clinical pathological findings. Results Fourteen tumors involved the right lobe, 4 tumors involved the left lobe,and 6 both liver lobes. One case invaded the liver diffusely.Most of HB appeared as an intrahepatic well circumscribed round or lobulated solid mass with or without pseudocapsule.Three of them manifested as multiple nodules and distributed in one or both liver lobes.Exophytic growing of tumor was seen in 7 cases. The tumor mass usually exhibited inhomogeneous density and heterogeneous enhancement,some associated with reticular and curvilinear density.Peripheral rim enhancement was present in 3 cases.Calcified foci were found in 6 cases.The hepatic parenchyma outside the tumor was normal in all cases.Two subdiaphragmatic and greater omentum tumor infiltrations could not be found on CT scan. Rare findings included tumor thrombus in one case in IVC, lymphnode metastasis in one case. Conclusion The various CT patterns described in this study are helpful in recognizing and evaluating the prognosis of HB.CT scan could acurately localize and characterize the mass,while not always correct in tumor staging.

?Proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) is a group of disease characterized by neovascular disease complication of diabetes mellitus. Neovascular diseases of eye are one of the major causes of blindness of the world. Recent studies showed that vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and pigment epithelium-derived factor ( PEDF ) are now accepted as the key cytokine in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Recent progress in the investigation of VEGF and PEDF of PDR are summarized in this review.

AlM: To observe clinical effect of vitrectomy with intravitreal ranibizumab for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy ( DR) .
METHODS:From February 2011 to February 2013, there were 90 cases in our hospital diabetic retinopathy patients withvitrectomy surgery. lt was randomly divided into observation group ( 45 cases ) and control group ( 45 cases ) . Two groups of patients were performed vitrectomy. Patients in observation group were injected intravitreal ranibizumab before surgery, then vitrectomy was underwent for diabetic retinopathy. Vitrectomy was only underwent in control group.
RESULTS:The patients in observation group with good effect accounting for 71% (32/45) and good rate was 89%(40/45 ), which were significantly higher than that in control group 51% ( 23/45 ) , 71% ( 32/45 ) . Differences were statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ). Amount of bleeding was 9. 64 ± 2. 27mL, intraocular pressure was 13. 64 ± 3. 27mmHg. lt was significantly less than that in control group 10. 21 ± 3. 14mL, 16. 00 ± 3. 14mmHg. Differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05).

8. Study of quantitative flow ratio-guided surgical coronary revascularization
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2020;40(7):937-942
Objective: To analyze the feasibility, safety and preliminary clinical results of quantitative flow ratio (QFR)-guided surgical coronary revascularization. Methods: From Jan 2018 to June 2019 at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with any coronary stenosis ≥ 50%, evaluated by preoperative coronary angiography visualization, were enrolled consecutively. There were 82 patients with 174 coronary artery vessels. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was recommended with a QFR value ≤ 0.8. The data of baseline characteristics, surgical procedure and perioperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: QFR analysis was successfully carried out in 82 patients and 174 coronary artery vessels. QFR was detected positive ( ≤ 0.8) in 53 vessels (30.5%) and negative (>0.8) in the remaining 121 vessels (69.5%). As guided with QFR, 39 patients (47.6%) with 62 vessels (35.6%) proceeded to surgery for primary heart disease with concomitant CABG as planned, while the remaining 43 patients (52.4%) with 112 vessels (64.4%) changed revascularization strategy or spared CABG. Fifteen patients with simple coronary artery disease avoided CABG and discharged. Among the remaining 67 patients operated on, there were 2 deaths, 4 hemodialysis for new renal failure, 1 perioperative myocardial infarction and 1 stroke within 30 d. No unplanned revascularization was observed. The composite adverse events occurred in 6 cases (9.0%). Conclusion: QFR-guided surgical coronary revascularization is feasible and safe. This strategy could reduce the unnecessary bypass grafting. Further follow-up and prospective clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the effectiveness.

In order to reveal genetic diversity of domestic Andrographis paniculata and its impact on quality, genetic backgrounds of 103 samples from 7 provinces in China were analyzed using SRAP marker and SNP marker. Genetic structures of the A. paniculata populations were estimated with Powermarker V 3.25 and Mega 6.0 software, and polymorphic SNPs were identified with CodonCode Aligner software. The results showed that the genetic distances of domestic A. paniculata germplasm ranged from 0. 01 to 0.09, and no polymorphic SNPs were discovered in coding sequence fragments of ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase. A. paniculata germplasm from various regions in China had poor genetic diversity. This phenomenon was closely related to strict self-fertilization and earlier introduction from the same origin. Therefore, genetic background had little impact on variable qualities of A. paniculata in domestic market. Mutation breeding, polyploid breeding and molecular breeding were proposed as promising strategies in germplasm innovation.
