Objective To study the clinical and imaging features of Marinesco Sjgren syndrome.Methods The clinical,laboratorial and imaging information of a patient with Marinesco Sjgren syndrome (28 years old, female) was reported.Results The clinical findings included besides the major features of the syndrome, e.g. ataxia, cataracts, growth deficiency and mental retardation,chronic renal deficiency, hypoparathyroidism and hypogonadism. Karyotype of chromosome was 46,XX,1q +,22s +. CT scan showed stripped path like high density in both lenticular nucleus, cerebellar atrophy; MRI showed cerebellar vermis and hemispheres of small volume. Other abnormal superatentorial findings were showed in MRI, including enlarged third, fourth and lateral ventricles,and expanded cistern;pachygyria in left temporal lobe and a thin corpus callosum lap.Conclusion The major features of Marinesco Sjgren syndrome were growth deficiency and mental retardation,congenital cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, etc.Skull MRI might be helpful in the early diagnosis of the disorders.

Objective To investigate the effect of local delivery of paclitaxel on bile duct scar formation and biliary stricture in guinea pig.Methods Models of end-to-end anastomosis of the common bile duct were established in 42 guinea pigs.The animals were randomly divided into paclitaxel and control groups.In the paclitaxel group,the drug solution(1000 ?mol/L,0.05 ml) was smeared onto the anastomotic wound before closing the abdomen.The animals were killed in 3 days,2 weeks,and 1 month after the operation(7 in each group at each time point).The sepcimens of the common bile duct were obtained for histological examination.Transmission electron microscopy was employed to observe the ultrastructure of paclitaxel-induced apoptotic cells.Results Histological examination showed inflammatory reaction and hyperplasia of the bile duct wall.The bile duct wall of the paclitaxel group was significantly thiner than that of the control group in 3 days and 1 month after the operation [3 days:(574.41?24.53)?m vs(802.98?24.42) ?m,t=-6.604,P=0.000;1 month:(1383.36?36.64) ?m vs(1518.56?34.89)?m,t=-2.672,P=0.020].Paclitaxel-induced cell apoptosis and injured cell organs were found by transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Single local delivery of paclitaxel can inhibit biliary stricture in one month.

Objective To study content and ascription of the composition of the polysaccharides from Zhou’s Prescription for Resolving Mass. Method The polysaccharide was extracted by ethanol precipitation, and purified by savage method. DEAE-cellulose anion exchange resin was used to prepare the composition of polysaccharides. UV-spectra was used to detect protein and IR-spectra was used to analyses the ascription of the composition of polysaccharides. The content of the composition of polysaccharides was determined by anthranone-sulfuric acid method. Result There was no absorption at 240 nm and 260 nm. The IR spectrum graph of the polysaccharides was similar to Polygonatum odoratum, Radix Ranunculi Ternati and Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. The content of the composition of polysaccharides was 1.41%. Conclusion The composition of polysaccharides does not contain proteins and nucleic acids, and come from Polygonatum odoratum, Radix Ranunculi Ternati and grimonia pilosa Ledeb.

Objective To investigate clinical and pathological features of lupus erythematosus profundus (LEP)of the scalp in children.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 5 children with LEP.The clinical and histopathological features,treatment and prognosis of LEP were analyzed.Results The 5 children with LEP included 2 boys and 3 girls with a median age at onset of 5 months (range,2-38 months) and a median clinical course of 15 months (range,4-72 months).Clinically,the patients presented with arc-shaped or circular purple atrophic plaques on the scalp complicated by alopecia.The occipitalia and tempora were the most commonly involved sites.Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs) were negative in all the patients.Main histopathological changes were hyaline degeneration of the fat,mucin deposition and local aggregation of lymphocytes in fat lobules.Of the 5 patients,2 were treated with oral prednisone (1.5-2 mg/kg/day),1 with oral hydroxychloroquine (5 mg/kg/day),1 with oral prednisone (1.5 mg/kg/day) combined with hydroxychloroquine (5 mg/kg/day),and another 1 with topical halometasone cream and 0.03％ tacrolimus ointment.Lesions were remissed after 2-3 months of treatment,and subsided with growth of new hairs after 6 months.No recurrence was observed during a 1.5-year follow-up.Conclusion Prednisone and hydroxychloroquine are markedly effective for LEP,and pediatric patients with LEP may be treated by topical highpotency glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors.

Objective: Our purpose was to observe the effect of epithelial scrape injury on corneal morphology. Methods: Twenty 4-week-old white rabbits were used. We scraped the corneal epithelia of the left eye of each rabbit (0.2 mm near the limbus of corneal were left in 10 eyes, in the remaining rabbits within 8 mm in the center). The right eyes were control group. We observed the healing of corneal protrusion with slit-lamp microscope, examined the corneal form with corneal topography, and measured the depth of anterior chamber and the corneal thickness with A-ultrasound. Results: The extensive epithelial scrape significantly increased the healing time. The corneal protrusion of experimental group and the depth of anterior chamber increased. The corneal thickness became thinner. Conclusion: The extensive epithelial injury can make cornea thinner, which results in the changes of corneal protrusion.

Objective To evaluate the peripheral dose (PD) from megavoltage cone-beam CT (MVCBCT) imaging for head-and-neck region image-guided radiation therapy,to determine the correlation of PD with monitor unit (MU),and to investigate the impact of imaging field size on the PD.Methods Measurements of PD from MVCBCT were made with a 0.65 cm3 ionization chamber placed in a specially designed phantom at various depths and distances from the field edges.The PD at reference point inside the phantom was measured with the same ionization chamber to investigate the linearity between MU used for MVCBCT and the PD.The homogeneity of PD in the axial plane of the phantom were measured.Results PD from MVCBCT increased with increasing number of MU used for imaging and with increasing the field size.The measured PD in the phantom decreased exponentially as distance from the field edges increased.PD also decreased as the depth from the phantom surface increased.There was a strong linear relationship between PD and MUs used for MVCBCT.The PD was heterogeneous,with higher dose at the anterior than the posterior.Conclusions The PD from MVCBCT depend much on the MVCBCT delivery MU and the scan field size.In clinic,using the smallest number of MU allowable and reducing MVCBCT scanning field size without compromising acquired image quality is an effective method of reducing the PD.

Objective To assess the clinical value of transvaginal ultrasonic hysterography in diagnoio of intrauterine diseases. Methods Two-hundred and ninety-eight patients with transvaginal ultrasonographically diagnosed intrauterine diseases were enrolled in this study. All the patients underwent selective operation of ultrasonic hysterography and hysteroscopy. The results before and after ultrasonic hysterography were compared with those of hysteroscopy and pathology. Results Among 298 patients, 221 were diagnosed pathologically, while 198 were diagnosed with ultrasonic hysterography and 206 with hysteroscopy. The diagnostic coincidence of transvaginal ultrasonic hysterography, transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy was 89.59%, 74.16% and 93.21%, respectively. Conclusion The accuracy of ultrasonic hysterography and hysteroscopy in diagnosis of intrauterine diseases is in coincidence. Ultrasonic hysterography is simple and convenient, worthy of clinical application.in gynecology.

According to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the pathogenetic factors such as platelet activation, adhesion, congregation and thrombosis fall into the category of blood stasis, while the pathological changes such as tissue necrosis, oxidative stress injury and inflammation, etc, are far beyond the etiological category of blood stasis. The toxin or the combination and transformation of toxin and blood stasis of TCM are involved in the pathogenesis of thrombotic cerebro-cardiovascular diseases. It is significant to recognize and stress the combination and transformation of toxin and stasis in pathogenicity so as to enrich TCM etiology and improve TCM clinical efficacy in the treatment of cerebro-cardiovascular and thrombotic diseases.
