Objective To prepare human prostatic carcinoma-targeted ultrasound contrast agent and assess its targeted ability in vitro. Methods Human prostatic carcinoma-specific polyclonal antibody PSM(C-15) was attached to the surface of self-made liposome microbubbles by electrostatic attraction to prepare targeted microbubbles. Immunofluorescent staining assay was used to identify the combination of PSM(C-15) with liposome microbubbles and the targeted microbubbles were added to prostatic-carcinoma cells and then observed under the light and fluorescence microscope to evaluate the targeting ability of the targeted liposome microbubbles with prostatic carcinoma cells in vitro, while the common liposome microbubbles were controls. Results Targeted microbubbles were positive in immunofluorescent straining assay. In vitro study of the targeting ability showed the targeted microbubbles could actively adhere to LNCaP cell. While the control was negative. Conclusion The targeted liposome contrast agent with highly specific biological activity was prepared successfully. The contrast agent could bind to human prostatic carcinoma cells specially and effectively in vitro.

Objective To compare the efficacies of the treatment of sternal fracture with wire fixation and the titanium sternal fixation system. Methods Thirty patients with sternal fracture from May 2003 to July 2009 were followed up. Among them,there were 20 patients with wire fixation (wire fixation group), 10 patients with the titanium sternal fixation system (titanium sternal fixation system group). The conditions before, during and after operation,complications and effects were compared to evaluate the effieaeies of titanium sternal fixation system. Results The operative time of titanium sternal fixation system group and wire fixation group were (67.0 ± 7.9) min and (90.0 ± 8.6) min, the blood loss were (11.0 ± 5.4) ml and (48.0 ± 8.4)ml,the duration of drainage were (0.5 ± 0.4) days and (1.9 ± 0.7) days,the amount of drainage were (1.9 ± 1.3) ml and (19.0 ± 4.6) ml, the average hospitalized days were (2.3 ± 0.5) days and (6.9 ± 0.9) days, the duration of pain were (1.5 ± 0.5) days and (3.8 ± 1.1) days, there were all significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). The rates of wound infection, delayed union or nonunion, re-fracture,plate fracture or plate shift of wire fixation group were 5% (1/20) ,5% (1/20) ,5% (1/20), 10% (2/20). But the rates of titanium sternal fixation system group were 0, there were all significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The treatment of sternal fracture with titanium sternal fixation system is a simple and stable fixation,high bone union rate and few complications,especially for the sternal fracture.

Objective To investigate the event-based prospective memory (EBPM) and time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in temporal lobe epilepsy patients,and test the hypothcsis that temporal lobe is involved in the prospective memory network. Methods Sixty-two patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and 30 age- and education level-matched healthy adults were examed with the neuropsychological battery of tests including EBPM and TRPM tasks. Results In comparison with the controls,the TLE patients were impaired on MMSE,DS and VFT.Compared with the healthy adults ( EBPM:6.83± 1.34,TBPM:5.00 ± 1.70),the patients with temporal lobe epilepsy had a significant loss in EBPM (3.95 ±2.77,t =6.72,P ＜0.01 ) and TBPM (3.08 ±2.42,t =4.39,P ＜0.01).There was no difference in the performance of EBPM (3.82 ± 2.70,4.10 ± 2.90 ; t =- 0.40,P ＞ 0.05 ) and TBPM (2.55 ± 2.20,3.69± 2.55; t =-1.90,P ＞0.05 ) between the patients with taking antiepileptic drugs and those without antiepileptic drugs. Conclusions These results suggest that patients with temporal lobe epilepsy may experience general difficulties with prospective memory.It is possible that temporal lobe is involved in the prospective memory network.The passages of TBPM need more self-initiated processes.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of 1126 cases of malignant lymphoma in our hospital from 2005 to 2009. Methods Age, sex, pathological classification, onset locus and clinical staging of the malignant lymphoma were analyzed and summed up, based on the data of the malignant lymphoma patient information in hospital case database from 2005 to 2009 and excluded the cases as pathology was not sure and the repeated cases. Results A male:female ratio of malignant lymphoma in inpatient was 1.94:1. The majority of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) manifested in 20-40 years old, mixed cellularity (64.16 %) and nodular sclerosis (29.48%) was most common. The majority of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) manifested in 50-70 years old, the most common pathological classifications were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (53.31 %), extranode nasal-type NK/T cell lymphoma (7.35 %), mantle cell lymphoma (6.40 %), B chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small B-cell lymphoma (4.30 %), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (4.09 %), precursor T cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (3.88 %), peripheral T cell lymphoma but not otherwise specified (3.46 %), angioimmunoblastic lymphoma(3.04 %), follicular lymphoma(2.94 %), Burkitt lymphoma (2.52 %). The onset locus of both HL and NHL most often involved lymph nodes of the cervical region. Conclusion The gender, age, pathological classification, onset locus and clinical staging of malignant lymphoma were different between HL and NHL.

The intubation of conventional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probes into patients causes serious esophagus irritation,and thus the use of TEE probes in pediatric practice is limited.In this study,we aimed at the development of a special probe which could be inserted through the nasopharyngeal cavity into the esophagus to obtain the same high-quality echocardiography images as those obtained by conventional TEE and improve patients' experience.During the examination,the patients felt relaxed for a longer time and cooperated with the sonographers in the process of cardiac catheterization conducted in the surgery room or the intensive care unit (ICU),resulting in improved accuracy of the diagnosis and timely administration of appropriate treatment.Two years ago,Prof.Xin-fang WANG put theories into practice by inserting the probe through the nasal cavity and pharynx into the esophagus of volunteers to successfully detect the heart and great vessels at the retrocardiac space.Later,Prof.Ming-xing XIE performed the transnasal TEE examination in 12 atrial septal defect (ASD) patients and proved the safety and reliability of this method,which could become a new way for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the association between ambient average temperature and hospital emergency room visits for cardiovascular diseases(International Classification of Diseases,Tenth Vision ICD-10:I00-I99) in Beijing,China.Methods Data was collected on daily hospital emergency room visits for cardiovascular diseases from Peking University Third Hospital,including meteorological data(daily average temperature,relative humidity,wind speed,and atmospheric pressure) from the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service System,and on air pollution from the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center.Time-stratified case-crossover design was used to analyze data on 4 seasolls.Results After adjusting data on air pollution,1 degree(℃) increase of ambient average temperature would associate with the emergency room visits of odds ratio(Ors)as 1.282(95%CI:1.250-1.315).1.027(95%CI:1.001-1.055),0.661(95%CI:0.637-0.687),and 0.960 (95%CI:0.937-0.984) in spring,summer,autumn,and winter respectively.After controlling the influence of relative humidity,wind speed,and atmospheric pressure,1℃ increase in the ambient average temperature would be associated with the emergency room visits on Ors value as 1.423 (95%CI:1.377-1.471).1.082(95%CI:1.041-1.124),0.633(95%CI:0.607-0.660)and 0.971(95%CI:0.944-1.000) in spring,summer,auttmm,and winter respectively.Conclusion These data on outcomes suggested that the elevated level of ambient temperature would increase the hospital emergeney room visits for cardiovascular diseases in spring and summer while the elevated level of ambient temperature would decrease the hospital emergency room visits for the cardiovascular diseases in autumn and winter,suggesting that patients with cardiovascular diseases should pay attention to the climate change.
