Most of pigments were made of aromatics extracted from cola tar. As early as 1895, aromatics were found to be carcinogenic. In 1974, ETAD had tested 50 more kinds of aromatics and found that 22 had carcinogenic role. In 1994, Germany revised the law of articles of everyday use and clearly stipulated that aromatics were prohibited to be used in production of cloth dye. Bayer had prohibited the use of 118 kinds of pigments such as aromatics, etc. In 1997, the number of prohibited pigments rose to 141. The AATCC in America plans to use environment-protecting pigments instead of aromatic pigments. In order to keep the status of great power in export textile, India had prohibited the use of 116 kinds of pigments and built a monitoring center.Internationally, the trader should show the customer a booklet of instructions indicating that the cloth does not have any pigments, which may be carcinogenic, allergenic or have hormone disrupting characteristics.

PURPOSE To explore an efficacious therapy for liver metastasis of colorectal carcinomas. METHODS Basing on excision of primary lesions. 86 cases of colorectal carcinomas metastasize to liver were treated in four different manners, namely: sole resection of the metastasis lesions, chemoembolization-resection, sole chemoembolization. and chemotherapy. We also analyze the efficacy in curing single metastatic liver cancer, multiple metastatic cancer that is confined to one section or both left and right sections of liver. RESULTS One year survival rates in the groups of sole resection and chemoembolization-resection are better than that of sole chemoembolization P

Radiotherapy is the main way to treat the Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. But there are a lot of serious complications, the most common one of then is radioactive xerostomia. It seriously affect the patients's quality of life, even make patients change or stop their radiotherapy. It is extremely important to prevent and treat xerostomia caused by radiotherapy.

Objective To preliminarily investigate the safety and long-term efficacy of endovascular overlapping multi-stent angioplasty for the treatment of vertebral artery dolichoectasia.Methods From May 2009 to January 2011,the clinical and imaging data of 3 patients with vertebral artery dolichoectasia treated with overlapping multi-stent implantation at the Department of Neurosurgery,Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.All 3 patients had prolongation and dilation on the left intracranial vertebral artery.One suffered compression of left medulla oblongata accompanied by old infarction of right thalamus,one complicated with ruptured aneurysm of left posterior cerebral artery received coil occlusion of the parent artery,and the other had a lacuna infarction on the left medulla oblongata with left intracranial vertebral artery dissection.Results 2-5 LEO stents were implanted into the left vertebral artery of each patient and the lesions were covered completely.The revascularization was successful in all patients and no perioperative complications occurred.The 3 patients were followed up for 5-8 years and no new clinical symptoms occurred.The modified Rankin scale score was 0.The DSA follow-up revealed that the vascular morphology of 2 cases was significantly improved compared with that before procedure.Conclusion The preliminary experience has shown that overlapping multi-stent angioplasty for the treatment of vertebral artery dolichoectasia is safe and the long-term effect of revascularization is satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate the survival benefit of amphotericin B (AmB) plus flucytosine or fluconazole for treatment of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated cryptococcal meningitis.Methods The following database were searched from the beginning to October 2013,including Cochrane library,PubMed,OVID,Embase,Wanfang Date,CNKI and Chinese Biomedical Database,and the references of eligible studies were manually screened.Reference lists of relevant articles were screened according to selection and extraction criteria.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.Results Four prospective controlled studies with a total of 399 patients with cryptococcal meningitis were identified,including 386 patients with AIDS-associated cryptococcal meningitis and 13 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients.Two hundred and twentyseven patients were treated with AmB and flucytosine combination therapy,including 217 patients with AIDS-associated cryptococcal meningitis and 10 HIV-negative patients.One hundred and seventy-two patients were treated with AmB and fluconazole combination therapy,including 169 patients with AIDS-associated cryptococcal meningitis and 3 HIV-negative patients.The Meta-analysis revealed that the mortality rate in AmB plus flucytosine combination therapy group was 6.6％ (95％ CI:18.5％-31.6 ％) at two weeks point,which was significantly lower than that in AmB plus fluconazole combination group (19.7％,95％CI:-23.6％-62.9％; OR=0.51,95％CI:0.27-0.93,P＜0.05).But at 10 weeks point,the mortality rate in flucytosine combination group was 12.9％ (95％oo CI:-22.2％-48.0％),which was lower than that in fluconazole combination group (31.4％,95％ CI:-23.1％-85.9 ％).However,there was no statistically significant difference between these two groups at 10 weeks point (OR=0.70,95％CI:0.44-1.13,P=0.15).Conclusion Administration of AmB plus flucytosine at early stage can reduce the mortality rate in patients with AIDS-associated cryptococcal meningitis.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBt)under block anesthesia of bilateral obturator nerves.Methods Seventy-seven patients were chronologically divided into two groups.Forty-six of patients with lateral,bilateral or multiple tumors in the bladder,which underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor under epidural anesthesia from April 2003 to October 2004,were chosen as the Control Group.Thirty-one patients whom were administrated with epidural anesthesia plus bilateral block of the obturator nerve from October 2004 to July 2005 served as the Study Group.Incidences of bladder perforation and obturator nerve reflex were compared between the two groups.Results In the Control Group,obturator nerve reflex occurred in 25 patients(including intense reflex in 11 patients),giving an incidence of 54.3%(25/46),and bladder perforation resulted from the reflex was observed in 8 patients,with an incidence of 17.3%(8/46).In the Study Group,slight obturator nerve reflex happened in 3 patients(9.9%,3/31)and bladder perforation was found in 1 patient(3.2%,1/31).A significant higher rate of obturator nerve reflex was noted in the Control Group than in the Study Group(?2=15.970,P=0.000),but no statistical difference was seen in bladder perforation rate between the two groups(?2=2.359,P=0.125).Conclusions Bilateral block of the obturator nerve can improve the safety remarkably during transurethral resection of bladder tumor,especially when the tumor was located in the lateral bladder wall.

BACKGROUND: Muscarine receptor plays a key role in adjusting contraction of detrusor muscle cell, and M3R, isoforms of its receptor, can mediate contraction of detrusor muscle cell directly. Ca2+ is the direct factor in stimulating contraction of detrusor muscle cell. Of several 10 kinds of Ca2+conjugable receptors protein, Ca2+ conjugated with different receptor proteins can adjust various reactions.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Ca2+-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM) on contraction of M3R-mediated detrusor muscle cell.DESIGN: Compared observation .on the basis of detrusor muscle cell.SETTING: Ourological Center of Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed at Central Laboratory of Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Healthy Wistar rats were selected in this study.METHODS: The primary cultured detrusor muscle cells were divided into experimental group and control group. Cells were inoculated in 6-well plate, and 10-4 mmol/L carbachol and M2R antagonist were added to cells of the experimental group during 70% confluence to block M3R and M2R respectively. Ca2+ concentration and CaM activity were detected by Ca2+ test kit and CaM test kit respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of [Ca2+]I concentration and CaM activity of cells in both groups.RESULTS: The mean channel fluorescence values (log) of [Ca2+]I and CaM were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group(3.26±0.38, 2.06±0.12; 2.87±0.34, 2.14±0.24, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Results in this study suggest that Ca2+-CaM participates in adjusting contraction of M3R-mediated detrusor muscle cells through signal transduction.

Objective To preliminarily analyze the risk factors for rupture of intracranial aneurysms combined with proximal parent artery stenosis. Methods From June 2016 to December 2018, 52 admitted patients with intracranial aneurysms combined with proximal parent artery atherosclerotic stenosis and admitted in Neurosurgery Department of First Hospital Affiliated to Naval Military Medical University were enrolled. All patients were diagnosed by DSA. The 52 patients were divided into the ruptured group and the unruptured group, with each group containing 26 patients. The baseline data, 3D DSA data, morphology and hemodynamic parameters of intracranial aneurysms with parent artery stenosis were collected and compared between the two groups. The baseline data included age, gender, prior history of hypertension, smoking, diabetes, cerebral infarction, oculomotor palsy and multiple aneurysms. 3 D DSA data included degree of stenosis (mild to severe). Morphological and hemodynamic parameters included normalized wall shear stress (NWSS), percentage of low wall shear stress area (LSA), aspect ratio (AR), distance of stenosis, size ratio (SR) and degree of stenosis (quantitative index). Results (1) The proportion of female in the ruptured group was higher than that in the unruptured group (80.8% [21/26] vs. 53. 8% [14/26] , χ2 =4. 282, P = 0. 039). There was no difference in ypertension, diabetes, smoking history, multiple aneurysms, cerebral infarction and oculomotor paralysis between the two groups (all P >0. 05). (2) There was no difference in the degree of stenosis (mild to severe) between the two groups (P > 0.05). (3) The ruptured group had lower NWSS than that of the unruptured group, but higher LSA and AR(0.691 [0. 560, 0. 867] vs. 0.852 [0.701, 1.097], Z = -2. 397; 7. 91% [1.28%, 11. 94%] vs. 1.36%[0.28%, 3.48%], Z = 2.581;[1. 1 ±0. 3] vs. [0. 9 ±0.4], t =2.751; all P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in distance of stenosis, SR and the degree of stenosis (quantitative index) between the two groups (all P >0. 05). Conclusion Female, high LSA, high AR and low NWSS may have an impact on the rupture of intracranial aneurysms with parent artery stenosis.

Objective To detect the clinical factors related with liver metastasis in young patients with rectal cancer.Methods Three hundred and fifty young patients with rectal cancer were collected to set up the database.Single and multi-factor Logistic regression was applied to indicate the independent factors relating to liver metastasis.The regression equation to predict probability of liver metastasis from rectal cancer was established.Results Liver metastasis was 120 cases (34.3%).Single-factor analysis revealed that patho-organization type,pathologytype,infiltration extent,blood vessel invasion (BVI),TNM stage,operation character,the preoperative level of carcino-embryonic antigen,histology grading were related with liver metastasis.Multi-factor analysis revealed that only BVI (P=0.001),TNM stage (P=0.001),pathoorganization type (P=0.005),the preoperative level of CEA (P=0.008) and operation character (P=0.032) were independent factors to predict probability of liver metastasis.Conclusions Rectal cancer of young patients who being with BVI,advanced phase,high preoperative level of CEA,radical operation or poor differentiation degree,are apt to develop liver metastasis.They should be given further individualized intensive adjuvant treatment.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture in the male patients.Methods Clinical data of 479 male patients with post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture were reviewed.One-stage resection of the stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis was performed in 422 patients and scrotal flap with blood pedicle posterior urethroplasty in 57.Results The mean operation time was 115 minutes(range,90-140 minutes).The mean blood loss was 225 ml(range,100-300 ml).No intraoperative blood transfusion was needed.The mean follow-up time was 15 months(range,12-24 months).Among the 422 patients performed end-to-end anastomosis,386 patients had good voiding and 36 had dysuria because of the formation of anastomotic stoma valve(21 patients)or stricture ring(15 patients).The problem was resolved by transurethral valve/stricture ring resection.Among 57 patients undergone posterior urethroplasty,45 patients had good voiding nine patients were found with anterior urethra-skin tube anastomotic stoma stricture,of which four patients were treated by urethral dilatation and five by endourethrotomy; three patients were found with posterior urethra-skin tube anastomotic stoma stricture,of which one patient was treated by urethral dilation and two by endourethrotomy.Conclusions One-stage resection of the stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis is the main treatment for post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture.If the condition of the patients does not allow the end-to-end anastomosis,posterior urethroplasty can be an alternative.
