Objective To analyse 35 cases with failure and malfunction hemodialysis access managed by interventional radiology. Methods 35 cases with failure and malfunction hemodialysis access were examined by angiography and treated by interventional management subseqently. 26 cases of thrombosis occlusilon were treated with thrombolytic therapy and 15 cases of malfunctioning hemodialysis access were done with PTA. Results The initial angiogram showed 9 patients with simple stenosis while 26 patients with thrombosis occlusion, with concurrent stenosis in 13 patients. The rate of immediate recanalization of thrombolysis was 88.4% (23/26). The PTA was successful in 12 cases, 7 of the 13 cases concurrent with stenosis and 8 cases with simple stenosis while the other 3 cases of the 15 cases confronted failure. Follow up was made in 6 patients concurrent with stenosis without further management and 3 patients failure to conduct PTA after thrombolytic therapy. Recanalization occurred in 7 cases within 1 month and then did in all the cases in 3 month. Conclusions Angiography and subsequent interventional management play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of failure and malfunction hemodialysis access.

Objective:To investigate the LOH at regions on chromosomal arm 8p22,11p15,17p13 and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters. Methods:Thirty-four paraffin-embedded tumor and corresponding noncancerous tissues were analysed. PCR was used to amplified three microsatellite markers D8S136,D11S988 and TP53 located at these chromosomal regions. PCR products were electrophoresed on 6%polyacrylamide gel and detected using silver staining. The P53, c-erBb-2,PR,ER status were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results:Of the three markers we studied, D8S136 was detected LOH at a frequency of 12 in 34 tumors(35.29%). D11S988 and TP53 were detected LOH at a frequency of 5 in 34 tumors(14.71%). There were no obvious associations between LOH at D11S988、TP53 and clinicopathological parameters, but the tumors with LOH at D8S136 were significant larger than that without LOH(P=0.0049). Conclusion: Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast has a frequent LOH on chromosome 8p22. The loss or inactivation of putative tumor suppressor genes on 8p22 may contribute to the excessive growth of the tumors.

Objective:To explore the effective diagnosis method and the clinical effect of laparoscopic technique for atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis.Methods:The clinical data of 17 patients with atypical liver cystic echinococcosis from June 2018 to June 2019 in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were analyzed retrospectively, including 11 males and 6 females, (46.0±21.6) years old, all patients with a history of exposure in animal husbandry area. Preoperative hydatid immunity test, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal CT examination were completed, and laparoscopic surgery was performed. Postoperative follow-up was conducted by outpatient review and telephone, and the follow-up period was up to June 2020. The diagnosis, operation and recurrence of hydatid disease by different examination methods were analyzed.Results:Preoperative serum immunological examination of 17 patients showed that 11 were positive and 6 were negative for hepatic echinococcosis. The results of abdominal CT showed that 17 cases were hepatic cyst. Conventional color doppler ultrasound showed that 14 patients were hepatic cyst, 3 patients showed cystic space occupying, and cystic hydatidosis was not excluded; 9 patients observed double track sign or local thickening of cystic wall at the top of hepatic cystic lesions after replacement of high-frequency probe, which was diagnosed as hepatic cystic echinococcosis(CE1) , 8 patients as hepatic cyst. All 17 patients underwent laparoscopic operation, during which they were definitely diagnosed as hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE1). During the operation, there was no conversion to laparotomy. The operation time was (125.0±54.5) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (150.0±84.5) ml without blood transfusion, and the postoperative hospital stay was (6.5±2.5) d. There were no serious complications or deaths in the perioperative period, 2 cases had microbile leakage, and recovered by themselves 5-10 days after the operation; the patients were followed up for 6-12 months, no loss of follow-up, no recurrence of liver and abdominal hydatid.Conclusions:In the process of diagnosis and treatment of liver single cystic lesions, we should pay attention to the differential diagnosis of atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis and simple liver cyst. The effective differential rate of abdominal spiral CT, hydatid immune experiment and abdominal ultrasound is low, which is easy to be misdiagnosed and missed. The high frequency probe of abdominal ultrasound can effectively find atypical CE1 hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Laparoscopic technique is not only an effective diagnosis method but also a treatment method. It is necessary to choose a reasonable operation method according to the patient's hydatidosis. Laparoscopic operation is safe and feasible in the treatment of hepatic cystic echinococcosis.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their correlation. Methods Real-time PCR was used to determine the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA in 43 de novo ALL and 30 non-malignant patients (used as control). Results The positivity rate of CDX2 mRNA expression in ALL group was 93%, but CDX2 mRNA expression couldn′t be detected in the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of β-catenin could be detected in patients in both two groups, butβ-catenin mRNA expression in the ALL group was significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.01). And mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were significantly correlated with WBC counts and LDH level (P<0.01). When the ALL patients acquired complete remission (CR), the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin were significantly decreased compared with their newly diagnosed status , while disease-relapsed the mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were increased again. There was significantly positive correlation between CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA expressions (r = 0.835, P = 0.000). Conclusion Up-regulation of CDX2 and activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway coexist in the ALL patients and the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin are positively correlated.

Objective To develop a tool capable of early and exactly predicting various outcomes in comatose survivors who restore spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and validate its performance.Methods Variables that were both readily available and predictive of outcomes were identified by systematically reviewing published literature on resuscitation.A value was assigned to these variables.We used these variables in combination with APACHE Ⅱ/score to devise a multifactorial prediction score system,which we called PRCSs Prognostication Score (PRCSs-PS).Outcomes in 115 hospitalized comatose survivors after CPR were retrospectively reviewed using PRCSs-PS.Score of patients with different outcomes was compared.The area under the receiveroperating characteristic (ROC) curve was determined to evaluate performance of this tool to identify patients with a poor outcome (CPC4 and 5) and other outcomes (CPC1,2,and 3).Results There were differences of PRCSs-PS score among multiple groups with five different outcomes (CPC1-5)(F=65.91,P=0.000).Pairwise groups with different CPC were compared:no significant difference was noted between CPC 1 and CPC2 (12.41±6.49 vs 17.38±6.91,P=0.092),but difference between other pairwise CPC groups was statistically significant (CPC2 vs CPC3:17.38±6.91 vs 24.50±5.80,P=0.041,CPC3 vs CPC4:24.50±5.80 vs 32.29±5.24,P=0.006).The performance of PRCSs-PS to discriminate patients with a poor outcome from patients with other outcomes went as follows:it had 100% sensitivity,78.6% specificity,and 178.6 diagnostic index at the score cut-off22.5; it had 77.8% sensitivity,100% specificity and 176.4 diagnostic index at the score cut-off32.5.Score 23 and 33 were two key cut-offpoints.The area under the ROC curve was 0.968,showing excellent discrimination.Conclusions The final outcomes in post-resuscitation comatose survivors can be accurately predicted using PRCSs-PS Score.
