Objective To introduce a new flap of cutaneous branches of posterior tibial artery on the part of superior medial malleolus to repair soft tissues defect on the feet and the ankles Methods From October 1997 to December 2001,a flap with the pedicle called cutaneous branches of posterior tibial artery on the part of superior medial malleolus were used to repair 11 cases which suffered skin and soft tissue defect on the feet and the ankles due to various trauma Results The flaps were survived completely on 10 cases and the flaps distal had about 2 cm necrosis on 1 case,the size of the flap ranged from 28 cn?11 cm to 8 cm?6 cm,all of the 11 cases were evaluated as satisfactory after 6 months to 2 years follow-up Conclusions The new procedure can repair mostly soft tissue defect on the foot and the ankle and does not sacrifice the major arteries. The flap is easy to be performed,and it is an safety and ideal method.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of yang-supplementing moxibustion in treating cancer-induced fatigue of yang-deficiency type. Method Seventy-five patients with cancer-induced fatigue of yang-deficiency type were randomized into 3 groups by using random number table: yang-supplementing fire moxibustion group, fire therapy group, and a conventional control group, 25 patients in each group. The improvements of fatigue, quality of life and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome were observed. Result The three treatment protocols were all effective in improving fatigue, quality of life and TCM syndrome, and the effects of yang-supplementing fire moxibustion were more significant than the other two treatments, and that of fire therapy group was superior to that of the conventional control group. Conclusion Yang-supplementing fire moxibustion can effectively improve fatigue, yang-deficiency symptoms, and the quality of life in cancer-induced fatigue of yang-deficiency type.

Objective To explore the risk factors of newly emerging advanced schistosomiasis patients in endemic areas.Methods The study areas were selected in two counties of Dongting Lake regions and a 1 :2 match case-control study was designed.Sixty schistosomiasis patients,who newly evolved into advanced schistosomiasis from 2006 to 2007,were selected into the case group,and 120 cases with chronic schistosomiasis into the control group.Questionnaires including potential risk factors of advanced schistosomiasis were designed and the information was collected based on face to face interviews.SPSS 12.0 was used to analyze the simple factors and multi ones (logistic regression) attributable to the development of advanced schistosomiasis.Results The history of hepatitis B (OR = 10.729),models of water contact (OR = 3.919) ,yearly exposure days to the infested water (OR = 5.457) and times of chemotherapy in the nearly 10 years(OR = 1.578) were the risk factors of development of advanced schistosomiasis.The times of examinations with positive schistosome eggs were protective factors.No association was found between yearly income,education degree,times of checking for schistosomiasis,times of examination with sera positive results and the emergence of advanced schistosomiasis.Conclusion The high frequency of exposure to the infested water,repeated infections,incomplete diagnosis and treatment are the risk factors of advanced schistosomiasis.The concurrent infection with hepatitis B is associated with the acceleration of development of advanced schistosomiasis.

Abnormal metabolism in vivo of uric acid leads to many diseases.Recent discovery shows that glucose transporter-like protein-9,which belongs to glucose transporter family not only transports glucose,but also plays an important role in the process of uric acid transport,which is also affected by pH,glucose,estrogen,etc.The variation of glucose transporter-like protein-9 results in metabolic diseases.Therefore,the study of glucose transporterlike protein-9 in uric acid transport and related drug will provide new ideas to control the development of hyperuricemia and related cardiovascular disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endourologic treatment of benign uret-erointestinal anastomotic strictures in patients with urinary diversion. Methods Nine cases of benign ureterointestinal anastomotic strictures with a length of 1-3 cm following radical cystectomy and uri-nary diversion accepted endourologic treatment. 8 cases were treated by antegrade percutaneous ap-proach, 1 case by retrograde ureteroscopic approach. The strictures received balloon dilation, and ure-teral stents indewelled. Results In a follow up of 0.5-5.0 years, 1 case received percutaneous ne-phrostomy for complete ureterointestinal anastomotic atresia and refused to open operation reconstruc-tion. 5 cases had no recurrence after 2-3 endoscopic sessions. 3 cases needed long time ureteral stents indwelled. Conclusion Endourological technique for ureterointestinal strictures following urinary di-version avoided the disadvantages of open operation.

Objective To evaluate the reproducibility of normal liver ADC measurements by different respiratory motion compensation techniques. Methods A total of 31 young healthy volunteers who are 20 to 40 years old without any hepatic diseases were selected to research. Each volunteer underwent liver DWI twice in 24 hours with the same parameters and location. The imaging was performed with free-breath(FB), breathhold(BH), rspiratory-triggered(RT)and navigator-triggered(NT)techniques, and the ADC values of the left hepatic lobe and right hepatic lobe (upper, middle and lower) was acquired with two scans. Analysis the the ADC values of various anatomic locations of liver with two-way analysis of variance of randomized block design. Reproducibility of ADCs was assessed with the Bland-Altman method. Analysis of variance and paired-sample t test was used to assess ADCs from both right and left liver lobe among the four techniques. Result The ADC values acquired from the four techniques were significant differences (P<0.01),and the ADC values of the right lobe were less than the left lobe's(P<0.01). It showed a trend to decrease moving from superior to inferior levels in both left and right lobes, and the ADC values among The middle and lower were significant differences (P<0.01). The limit of agreement of ADC of twice imaging among the four techniques were as follow: the right lobe was less than the left lobes, and the breathhold was less the others. As the result, reproducibility in the right liver lobe was better to that in the left and the reproducibility with breathhold was better than the other respiratory motion compensation techniques. Conclusions Both anatomic location and DWI technique influence the liver ADC measurements and their reproducibility. The reproducibility of BH is the best.

Objective To improve detectable rate of gastric schwannoma by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Method Clinical data and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) imaging features of 4 cases were retrospectively ana-lyzed which diagnosed as gastric schwannoma pathologically and immunohistochemically while diagnosed as gastric stromal tumor by EUS from May 2008 to June 2015 and reviewed the literature. Results 4 cases of gastric schwan-nomas are female and benign, all 4 lesions are solitary, 3 in gastric body, and 1 in fundus by endoscopic. By EUS, all lesions are originated from muscularis propria, hypoechoic change, even echoes and clear board without calcifica-tion or cystic changes. 2 cases have halo artifacts around the lesion. Literature review found that gastric schwannoma tended to occur in female, halo artifacts could be the feature of gastric schwannoma, calcification or cystic changes were rare in gastric schwannoma which were common in gastric stromal tumors. Conclusion It was difficult to distin-guish gastric schwannoma and gastric stromal tumors that originated from muscularis propria by EUS. For female patients with lesions originated from muscularis propria, originated from muscularis propria and occurred in gastric body, it was necessary to observe lesions whether there was being calcification or cystic and halo artifacts. Integrated all these performance, we should be in consideration of gastric stromal tumors, meanwhile, excluding the possibility of gastric schwannoma.

Objective To investigate the independent echocardiographic pathogenesis associated with left atrial spontaneous echo contrast(SEC) formation in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods Twenty-one patients with valvular AF and twenty-three patients with nonvalvular AF undergoing transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography(TTE/TEE) were studied.Morphological and functional parameters of the heart in patients with AF were detected by TTE,while the sizes of the left atrial appendage(LAA),its Doppler flow patterns,Doppler flow patterns of the left upper pulmonary vein and integrated backscatter(IBS) values of left atrial SEC relative to those of the left ventricle were measured by TEE.Results There were the following 10 variables significantly associated with the left atrial SEC,some of which associated positively with SEC were left atrial diameter(r=(0.40252),P=(0.0061)),diameter of the open mouth of LAA to the left atrium(r=(0.37816),P=(0.0161)),while the others of which associated negatively with SEC were antegrade/retrograde blood flow velocity peak,integrate(RVi) and retrograde blood flow velocity mean(RVm) values,and S/D wave peak,S wave integrate(Is) and D wave mean(Md) values,their r values ranged from(-0.40379) to(-0.32832),their P values between(0.0018) and(0.0386).Collinearity analyses suggested that RVi,RVm,Is,Md represented completely all the blood flow velocity parameters of LAA and the left upper pulmonary vein,respectively.Multivariate analyses demonstrated that RVm and Md were the independent predictors of the left atrial SEC in patients with AF(both P
