Results The ratio of success was 97%. No significant difference was found among the groups of different maximal tumor size, minimal tumor size and TNM stage (P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion ( 1 )For the diagnosis of the suspicious malignant palpable mass, core needle biopsy is effective, safe, microtraumatic and suitable to be used in different-class hospitals ; (2) The success of core needle biopsy for palpable breast cancer is correlated with dexterity of operator; (3)Biopsy channel should be in the range of operation and avoid of affecting sentinel lymphatic channels.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar spinal stenosis can result in lumbar nerve root pain and other symptoms or even disability, which seriously impacts people’s quality of life. Interbody fusion is the main clinical treatment. Studies have shown that an interspinous fusion cage is prone to have hairline fractures and loss of implant; therefore, biomechanical properties and biocompatibility of the interbody fusion cage at L4/5need to be studied.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stability of the interspinous fusion cage at L4/5, and to explore the biomechanical properties and biocompatibility of adjacent segments.
METHODS: Ten adult fresh frozen spine specimens were selected and divided into normal group and model group, with five specimens in each group. The specimens were numbered and placed in a special fixture. The interspinous fusion cage, made in Zhengzhou Cast Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., China, was implantedin vivo and fixed using a cage fixator made of Ti6AL-4V ELI.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Artificial vertebral bodies had less strain changes than the normal vertebrae in different implantation positions in terms of central compression, anteflexion, rear protraction, lateroflexion (P < 0.05). During vertebral displacement under the maximum load of 500 N, the linear displacement and angular displacement in anteflexion, rear protraction, left lateral flexion, levorotation were decreased significantly in the model group than the normal group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the interspinous fusion cage can maximaly preserve the range of motion of the injured vertebral body, maintain the stability of the segment, and reduce the stress of the intervertebral disc.

The diagnosis of local recurrence after radiochemotherapy for esophageal cancer requires the combination of multiple imaging methods (esophageal X-ray,computed tomography,endoscopic ultrasonography,and positron emission tomography-computed tomography),dynamic changes in esophagoscopy,and biopsy.The main treatment of recurrence includes salvage surgery,radiochemotherapy,endoscopic mucosal resection,and chemotherapy.The overall survival rate after the above treatment is improved compared with palliative care but still unsatisfactory.Early diagnosis of recurrence is fundamental for improved treatment outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the clinical applications of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Methods From Jan.2002 to Apr.2004 60 patients in Dalan Municipal Central Hospital were randomly assigned to receire conventional oxygen therapy or NMV supplied by a standard ventilator through a face mask,with adjustment of pressure support at 8-15 cm H_2O in addition to a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5-8 cmH_2O.Blood gas and vital signs were obtained at 1 h,2 h,3 h,4 h,and 12h.Results Endotracheal intubation was required in 5(16.7%)of 30 patients assigned to receire NMV and in 12(41.4%)of 29 assigned to receive conventional oxygen therapy(P=0037). Resolution time was significantly shorter in the NMV groupmedian 40(5~77)vs145(49~263)min,P

A new theory called respectful education has been brought up and studied in the preliminary education of ourcountry in recent years. It is the kind of education that calls for a respectful way of interaction among the supervisors,teachers and students and it mostly emphasizes the satisfaction of one's psychological need and the opportunity of anall-around development. As an important component of the quality education in our country, we military academy isundergoing a teaching reform, in which we have found the lack of training on our students' ability of innovative thinkingand nurturance of creativity and a good personality. Therefore, we borrow the ideas and experience presented in thetheory of respectful education in order to discuss the meaning of advocating the theory in the education in militaryacademy and the principles of applying the theory to the practice of education reform.[

Objective To study the effect of propofol on vascular reactivity and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) in septic shock.Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 10 in each group) : group Ⅰ control; group Ⅱ septic shock; group Ⅲ septic shock + propofol and group Ⅳ septic shock + melatonin. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 40 mg?kg-1. The femoral artery and vein were connulated for MAP monitoring and drug administration. The animals were breathing spontaneously. Septic shock was induced by intravenous LPS 15 mg?kg-1 . In group Ⅲ a bolus of propofol 10 mg?kg-1 was given i.v. at 1 h after intravenous LPS followed by intravenous propofol infusion at 10 mg?kg-1?h-1. In group Ⅳ melatonin 10 mg was given intraperitoneally at 1h after LPS i.v. . Six hours after LPS administration 4 doses of phenylephrine (PE) 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5 ?g?kg-1 were given i.v. in succession. The next dose was given when MAP returned to the baseline level after previous PE. The percent change in MAP after each dose was recorded. Blood samples were taken at 6 h after LPS administration for determination of plasma MDA and NO concentrations. After the in vivo experiment the animals were sacrificed and thoracic aortas were removed and cut into segments of 3 mm in length which were bathed in Krebs buffer aerated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 at 37℃. The aortic rings were stretched to a resting tension of 2.0 g. The segments were then exposed to increasing concentrations of PE (from 1 nmol?L-1 to 30 ?mol?L-1). The dose-response curves were obtained. Emax and EC50 were calculated. Results The percent increase in MAP induced by PE was significantly reduced by septic shock (groupⅡ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ) as compared with control group (Ⅰ), but was significantly larger in propofol and melatonin groups (Ⅲ,Ⅳ) than in group Ⅱ. In the in vitro experiment the maximum response to PE and EC50 were significantly reduced in rats with septic shock as compared with rats in control group (P

Objective To evaluate preventive and therapeutic effects of low dose of unfractioned heparin on severe sepsis. Methods 52 Patients with severe sepsis hospitalized in Intensive Care Units were randomly divided into control group and heparin group. On the basis of conventional therapy, patients with sepsis were given low dose of unfractioned heparin or isovolume physiologic saline by continuous intravenous drip infusion over 5 days. Acute Physiologic and Chronic Healthy Evaluation (APACHE-Ⅱ) score, blood platelet count(BPC), prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(aPTT), thrombin time(TT), plasma fibrinogen(FDP) and D-dimer levels were assessed on admission, 3rd, 5th day after intervention. Incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC) and 28-day mortality between heparin group and control group were compared. Results There were no significant difference in APACHE-Ⅱ, BPC, PT, aPTT, TT, and FDP levels, incidence of DIC, and 28-day mortality between heparin group and control group. D-dimer levels in both groups decreased along with time. D-dimer levels on 5th day after treatment in heparin group was markedly decreased than that of control group(740?135?g/L vs 853?179?g/L, P
