Objective To investigate the factors influencing the diagnostic accuracy in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy of lung lesions. Methods CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy was performed in 435 patients with surgical pathologic confirmation or clinical follow-up.Univariant statistical analysis and multivariant stepwise Logistic regression analysis were used to study the influence of lesion-related factors(benignancy or malignancy,size,location,depth,presence of cavity),procedure factors(laser-guidence,position of patient) and patient-related factors(sex,age,presence of emphysema);with the accuracy of the diagnosis. Results ① 289 lesions were diagnosed as malignant ones and 146 as benign ones.The accuracy of CT-guided biopsy was(83.4%)(363/435).Univariant analysis showed that the diagnostic accuracies for malignant and benign lesions were(88.9%)(257/289) and(72.6%)(106/146),respectively(?~2=(18.71),P=(0.00002)).Laser-group was superior to non-laser group((88.4%) versus(80.9%),respectively,?~2=(4.00),P=(0.0456)).Mean diameters of lesions in correct diagnostic group and non-correct diagnostic group were(3.78)?(1.64) cm and(3.02)?(1.26) cm,respectively((F=)(13.79),P=(0.0002)).②Multivariant stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that among the various factors influencing the final benign or malignant diagnoses(Wald ?~2=(14.01),P=(0.0002)) and using laser-guidence(Wald ?~2=(3.92),P=(0.0477)) were significantly associated with the diagnostic accuracy. Conclusions Final correct diagnoses(benign,malignant) are closely related to the application of laser-guidence for determining the diagnostic accuracy in CT-guided transcutaneous thoracic needle aspiration biopsy.

Objective To evaluate the the safety and efficiency of precise liver resection for patients with primary liver cancer. Methods 86 patients with primary liver cancer were randomized to receive conventional routine hepatectomy (n=44) or the precise liver resection (n=42). Outcomes were compared between the precise hepatectomy group and the routine group, including, the blood loss, operation time, morbidity and mortality. Results There were significant differences in morbidity rates (7.1% vs. 20.5%; P<0.001), the blood loss [(320±315) ml vs. (613±526) ml;P<0.001) , postoperative alanine aminotransferase (ALT) value (in postoperation 7 d, 82.7 U/L vs.321.7 U/L; P<0.001) and length of hospital stay (12.3 d vs. 18.6 d; P<0.001) between precise hepatectomy and routine groups. The 1 year tumor recurrence rate and 1 year survival rate were 26.2%(11/42) and 78.6% (33/42) in precise liver resection group, 38.6% (17/44) and 65.9%(29/44) in routine liver resection group,with significant difference (P=0.010;P=0.018). Conclusion Precise liver resection is safe and effective in the treatment of liver tumor without much injury to patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of MK-801 on levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID)in Parkinson' s disease (PD). MethodsRat models ( n = 25) of Parkinsonism related motor complications were established and were randomly divided into levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) group (n = 10), MK801 treatment group (n = 10) and PD group (n =5). Another 5 rats were served as control group. The behaviors of LID rats treated with MK-801 were observed. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to determine the expression of β-arrestin1 in the striate of rats.Results After MK-801 treatment, abnormalinvoluntarymovementscores and peakturning weredecreasedin LIDrats.Immunohistochemistry showed that β-arrestin1-positive cells of the lesioned side ((2. 95 ± 0. 44) × 104) in LID rats were decreased compared to the contralateral side ( ( 3.78 ± 0. 37 ) × 104, t = 5. 415, P < 0. 05 ).Western blot showed that the levels of β-arrestinl in PD group ( presented as lesioned side/contralateral side) were ( 81.02% ± 2. 23% ). The levels of β-arrestin1 (64. 88% ± 3. 10% ) were deceased in LID rats compared to PD rats ( t = 9.47, P < 0. 01 ). However, the levels of β-arrestin1 ( 89. 26% ± 1.90% )were increased in MK-801-treated rats (t = 14. 82, P <0. 01). ConclusionsMK-801 reduces LID in PD rats. The beneficial effect of MK-801 may be mediated through the increased expression of β-arrestinl which in turninhibits the overactivation of glutamate receptors.

Objective To investigate the relationship between G protein-coupled receptor kinase 6 (GRK6) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the mechanism study underlying motor complications in Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods The rat models (n= 25) of Parkinsonism related motor complications were established and were randomly divided into levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) group (n= 10,intraperitoneal injection of levodopa for 23 d),MK-801 treatment group (n= 10,intraperitoneal injection of MK-801 at day23 after intraperitoneal injection with levodopa for 22 days) and PD group (n= 5,intraperitoneal injection of vitamin C).Another 5 rats were served as controls (sham-operation group).The behavior changes of rats in MK-801 treatment group were observed,and the expression of GRK6 in the striate of rats was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results After the chronic treatment with levodopa methyl ester,PD rats displayed abnormal involuntary movements,which was similar to levodopainduced dyskinesia in PD patients.Immunohistochemistry showed that GRK6-positive cells of lesion side were decreased in LID rats as compared with PD rats [(3.23±0.41 ) × 103 vs.(4.81 ± 1.31 ) ×103,P<0.01].Rats in MK-801 treatment group displayed the decreased AIM scores and increased peak rotation,and the increased GRK6-positive cells of lesion side as compared with LID rats (P<0.05).Western blot showed that the levels of GRK6 was 83.7% ±2.1% in PD group (presented as lesion side/unlesion side),76.8% ± 2.2% in LID group and 91.1% ± 2.7% in MK-801 treatment group (intergroups comparison:all P<0.05).These results were in accordance with the results of immunohistochemistry.Conclusions Antagonist of NMDA receptor can be used to reduce the motor complications in rats.It may be due to increased GRK6 which inhibits the overactivation of glutamic acid receptors.
