The principle of Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) is similar to abdominal ultrasonography. The difference between them is the installment of a high-frequency ultrasound miniature probe at the tip of the endoscope for real-time ultrasound scanning. The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ. The insertion of the ultrasonic endoscope into the stomach and duodenum can clearly demonstrate the structure of the pancreas on ultrasound scanning. With the extensive application of EUS and development of endoscopic accessories, EUS is becoming more important and it plays an important role in the minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic diseases. EUS-FNA and injection technique, EUS-CPN,EUS-guided radiation seed implantation, endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture and drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst broaden the application of EUS techniques. EUS will become another important minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for pancreatic diseases following ERCP.

CD36 is involved not only in the metabolism of lipids,but also in the inflammatory reaction,in the formation of foam cells and in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.Monocyte/macrophage CD36 has been shown to play a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions by its capacity to bind and en-docytose oxidized low density lipoproteins(oxLDL),and it is implicated in the formation of foam cells.CD36 expression and regulation mechanism already provides a new understanding and the relevant drug research has attracted more attention of scholars.This article is to carefully review the importance of CD36 as an essential component in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Objective To study the effect of Shugan Tongluo Recipe on the patients with upper limb swelling after breast cancer surgery, and to explore the efficiency of treatment.Methods84 patients with breast cancer were selected from June to December 2015 in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic of Ge zhen,, were randomly divided into control group and observation group, control group using beta seven yezao sodium and conventional rehabilitation therapy, observation group based on the combined application of Shugan Tongluo Decoction, and compared the effectiveness of treatment.ResultsThe effective rate of the observation group was 92.8%, significantly better than the control group 78.6%, the difference between the two groups significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05).At the same time, the observation group VAS score, IL-6 score and CCL-18 score were lower than the control group, EORTC QLQ score is higher than that of the control group, the treatment of feedback better(P<0.05).In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions was 4.7%, 9.5% in the control group, the observation group treatment.ConclusionThe prescription of Shugan Tongluo decoction has a good effect on the treatment of upper limb swelling after breast cancer surgery, and it has high safety and good patient satisfaction.

Radiation therapy or chemoradiation will be used much more commonly in the treatment of patients in postoperative gastric cancer . We have reviewed the indication, toxicity, radiation dose, radiation field in postradiotherapy of gastric cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the techniques of electrical defibrillation and their application to cardiopulmonary re-suscitation(CPR).Methods On the basis of reviewing the definition of electrical defibrillation,the main defibrillation tech-niques and their developments were introduced,as well as the selection of shock energy.The role that defibrillation played during CPR was defined according to the consensus.Results As an unfashionable technique,monophasic waveforms was inclined to be replaced by present biphasic waveform including biphasic truncated exponential(BTE) waveform and recti-linear biphasic waveform(RBW).The selected shock energy varied with the waveform that a defibrillator made use of,i.e.a monophasic defibrillator required a higher energy level as usual,whereas a biphasic one did not.It was deemed that biphasic technique presented an excellence in less damage to heart in addition to higher rate of successful defibrillation.In the critical care for sudden cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm,the protocol of "1 shock + 5 cycles of CPR" should be recommended.Conclusion Electrical defibrillation techniques consist mainly of monophasic waveform and biphasic wave-form,between which the latter gains an advantage over the former.On the grounds of modern emergency medicine,defib-rillation has to be performed in combination with CPR.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) of the salivary gland constitutes approximately 21.9%-24.0% of all salivary gland malignant tumors,and is described as a tumor with indolent,but persistent and recurrent,growth and late onset of metastases,leading eventually to death.This review focuses on the advances in the studies of the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of ACC in the recent years.

The present situation of automated external defibrillator in inferior troops is analyzed.The shortcomings of current equipment are explained from both the troop itself and outer objective conditions from the aspects including false operation,low efficiency,use limited,etc.The potential prospects are given for the application of automated external defibrillator in inferior troops the inferior troops bring in the automated erternal defibrillator,not only the technical personnel,but also the sergent can operate it,making the warking more effectively.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):72-73]

Objective: To determine the expression of AC133 and EpCAM in human pulmonary adenocarcinoma by dual immunofluorescent labeling technique and to isolate AC133+ EpCAM+ cells by flow cytometry, so as to provide a basis for further investigation of human pulmonary adenocarcinoma stem cells. Methods: The human lung adenocarcinoma tissues were obtained and subjected to cryosection and dual immunofluorescent staining. AC133+ EpCAM+ cells in human pulmonary adenocarcinoma were identified by using laser confocal microscopy. The fresh adenocarcinoma tissues were prepared into single cell suspension with the collagen and red blood cell removed. AC133 and EpCAM were used to label cells and the AC133+ EpCAM+ cells were isolated by flow cytometry. ResuIts:AC133+ EpCAM + cells were found in human pulmonary adenocarcinoma and they could be isolated by flow cytometry. Conclusion:The existence of AC133+ EpCAM+ cells has been confirmed in the lung adenocarcinoma tissues; the double positive cells can be isolated by flow cytometry, which provides a basis for further investigation of lung cancer stem cells.
