Objective To explore the early diagnosis and treatment of congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia.Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 4 patients with congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia in Tongji hospital from Nov.2005 to Mar.2007,and combining lite-rature,the diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric hiatal hernia was summed up.Results Four patients were diagnosed in operation.One case was thought as adhesive intestinal obstruction before operation;two patients were on emergency operation and 2 patients were on time-elective operation;one patient preoperative CT scan may suggest mesenteric hiatal hernia;one case had partial resection of small intestinal,the others were replaced the intestine and fixed the defect.One patient occurred early septic shock;all of them had get well.Conclusions It′s hard to diagnose the congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia before operation.Abdomen CT examination and multislice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) help to diagnose.Early diagnosis and timely operation are the therapeutic key of congenital mesenteric hiatual heria.For the patients with recurrent abdominal pain,who was not confirmed with a variety of inspection,laparoscopic exploration can provide diagnosis,and can take the initiative to control the development of disease.

The dynamic changes of germination percentage, germination potential, thousand-seed weight, antioxidase activity in Desmodium styracifolium seeds with different storage time were tested, and electrical conductivity, contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein, starch in seed leach liquor were also determined in order to reveal the mechanism of seed deterioration. The results as the following. (1) The germination percentage, germination potential and thousand-seed weight of D. styracifolium seeds declined, while the seed coat color darkened with the extension of storage time. (2) The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) decreased with the prolongation of storage period. The SOD activity declined fastest in 1,095-1,185 d of storage, while the POD activity declined significantly in 365-395 d of storage. (3) The electrical conductivity and the contents of soluble sugar, starch in seed leach liquor increased, while the content of soluble protein declined with the extension of storage time. (4) Correlation analysis indicated that the germination percentage, germination potential and thousand-seed weight of D. styracifolium seeds have a significantly positive correlation with SOD and POD activity, while have a significantly negative correlation with the electrical conductivity, contents of soluble sugar and starch. It can be concluded that during the storage of D. styracifolium seeds, physiological and biochemical changes including decrease in antioxidase activity, rise in electrical conductivity, degradation effluent of soluble sugar and starch, degradation of soluble protein were the main factors leading to the seed deterioration.

Objective To explore the significance of palpation-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction.Methods 46 cases of small breast tumors with the diameter from 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm were double labeled with methylene blue under the guide of ultrasound l hour preoperatively.The tumors were fixed,drew outward with percutaneous suture and resected accurately.All the 46 cases were rechecked by ultrasound to verify whether residual or false resection occurred 1 month later.Results All the 58 tumors of the 46 patients were accurately resected.No residue or false resection occurred.The average operation duration was 10 min to 20 min.Conclusion Palpable-negative breast tumor resection with ultrasound-guided methylene blue labeling and percutaneous suture traction has the advantages of small invasion,accurate positioning and short operation duration.

Objective To investigate the application value of breast scale membrane marking method to locate breast tumor lesion in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods Before neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 120 cases of breast cancer,adopt scale membrane marking method was used to mark the position and boundaries of breast tumor lesion in the mean time.For non-protuberant breast tumor lesion,scale membrane was adhered directly to the breast and positive mark was made.For tumor lesion with vague boundaries,its boundaries was defined under the direction of ultrasound.For protuberant breast tumor lesion,scale membrane was only adhered to normal mammary skin beyond the tumor lesion and reverse mark was made.After two courses of treatment of TEC scheme,mark was made again and combined with ultrasound,molybdenum target and MRI results to comprehensive judgment of clinical curative efficacy so as to decide whether operation or change to TP scheme for continuous chemotherapy.Before operation,the first marking results were reset and then operation was conducted according to the position and boundaries of the marked tumor lesion.Results There were 26 cases of complete remission,76 cases of partial remission,10 cases of stabile disease and 8 cases of progressive desease.According to mark by scale membrane,breast conserving operations were conducted in 24 cases of complete remission and in 18 cases of partial remission according to position+ boundaries of the tumor lesion and tumor lesion position+ 1.5-2.0 cm beyond the original boundaries of tumor lesion marked by scale membrane,respectively.The simplified radical mastectomy was conducted in other 78 cases according to boundaries of the tumor lesion marked by scale membrane,in which 13 cases had insufficient locally advanced skin edges and adopted abdominal full-thickness free skin flap to cover the wound.Conclusion Tumor lesion location in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and scale membrane positioning method have the advantage of precision and non-invasion,which effectively save normal breat tissues and skin around tumor lesion with high patient compliance and tremendously outmatches traditional coordinate method,body surface tattoo method and mental marker method.Scale membrane marking method is easy to be operated with low cost,which is convenient for popularization and generalization.

Objective We invented mammary lump skin-positioning membrane (named scare membrane) to facilitate localization of mammary lump during ultrasound scan.This study is to measure the radius of mammary of Chinese adult women for designing different types of skin-positioning membrane.MethodsThe radius of mammary glands in 236 cases of adult females was detected with color Doppler ultrasound at 5 different clock positions:12:00,3:00,6:00,9:00 and 10:30 or 1:30.SPSS 16.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data.The cut-off values of mammary glands radius at 99％,95％,75％ and 50％ were calculated.Paired t tests or nonparametric tests (relative sample rank sum tests) were used to verify the consistency of mammary gland radius between left and right sides.ResultsThe cut-off value of 95％ mammary gland radius was:7.700cm at 12:00,7.810 cm at 13:00,8.100 cm at 3:00,5.330 cm at 6:00 and 6.300 cm at 9:00 for left mammary gland ; 7.500 cm at 12:00,6.015 cm at 3:00,5.500 cm at 6:00,8.510 cm at 9:00 and 7.930 cm at 10:30 for right mammary gland.In comparison of left and right mammary gland radius,the difference had statistical significance between the group of left side at 1:30 and right side at 10:30,the group of left side at 3:00 and right side at 9:00(P ＜0.05).The right mamma was relatively larger.The cut-off values of the right mamma at the above two clock points were taken as radius of scale membranes while the average of percentage cut-off values at 12:00,3:00 of both mammas,left side at 9:00 and right side at 3:00 are taken as radius of scale membranes.ConclusionsAccording to the cut-off values of 99％,95％,75％ and 50％ radius of adult female mammary glands,mammary lump skin-positioning membrane radius can be classified into 4 size-types:extra large,large,medium and small.The precise classification of radius of mammary scale membranes according to mammary glands of adult females provides convenience for production,manufacture and clinical application of mammary lump skin-positioning membrane.

To explore the mechanism of the absorption enhancement of borneol, the effect of borneol on the intestinal absorption and the pharmacokinetics of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate after oral administration were investigated. In situ intestinal recirculation was performed to study the effect of various concentrations of borneol on the absorption of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate at duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon. After oral administration of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate, the mixture of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate and borneol and the mixture of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate and verapamil in rats, the concentrations of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate in plasma were determined by RP-HPLC at predesigned time. The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared based on the results of the three animal experiments, and analyzed with software program 3p97. The result showed that tetramethylpyrazine phosphate could be absorbed at all of the four intestinal segments with increasing absorption amount per unit as follows: colon > duodenum > jejunum > ileum, but without saturation, which demonstrated that tetramethylpyrazine phosphate was absorbed via simple diffusion. Borneol could enhance the intestinal absorption of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate, however, not in proportion. There was no obvious difference between the test group and the control group when 10 microg x mL(-1) borneol was added (P > 0.05), while when the concentration comes to 25 microg x mL(-1) and 50 microg x mL(-1), significant differences were observed (P < 0.05). Borneol and verapamil did enhance the bioavailability of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate after oral administration in rats. The enhancing effect of borneol showed only when the concentration came to a certain level but with no specific sites existed in the intestine. One of the mechanisms of borneol on the enhancing effect on absorption of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate might be the inhibition of the metabolism of CYP 3A and exocytosis of P-gp.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of T 2* mapping and zoomed imaging with parallel transmission technique (ZOOMit) intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) DWI in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods:The data of 67 patients with thyroid nodules confirmed by surgery and pathology in Ma′anshan People′s Hospital from July 2019 to March 2020 were retrospectively collected. There were a total of 80 nodules, of which 39 were benign nodules and 41 were malignant nodules. All patients underwent MRI including T 2WI, T 2* mapping, and ZOOMit IVIM sequence scans before surgery to measure the T 2*, D, D *, and f values of the nodules. The comparison of the parameters between benign and malignant nodules was evaluated by independent sample t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. A combined parameter model was established through two-class logistic regression and the predicted probability value was calculated. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter and the combined parameter model in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Results:The T 2*, D, f values of benign thyroid nodule group were higher than that in malignant group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference of D * value between two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.258, P= 0.215). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of T 2*, D, and f values for identifying benign and malignant nodules was 0.703, 0.892, and 0.743, the diagnostic sensitivity was 80.2%, 84.1%, and 80.0%, and the specificity was 65.6%, 81.3%, and 75.0%, respectively. The AUC of T 2*combined with D, T 2*with D * and T 2* with f was 0.925, 0.709, and 0.743, the diagnostic sensitivity was 96.2%, 80.4%, and 80.0%, and the specificity was 81.2%, 65.6%, and 75.0%, respectively. Conclusion:D, f and T 2* derived from ZOOMit IVIM have good value in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules, and the combination of T 2* and D parameters has the higher diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) of three different frequencies (2 Hz,80 Hz and 2 Hz/80 Hz) on the free radicals in hippocampus of vascular dementia (VD) model mice.Methods:A total of 100 Kunming mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group,a model group,a 2 Hz EA group,an 80 Hz EA group and a 2 Hz/80 Hz EA group,with 20 mice in each group.The ischemia-reperfusion VD model was established by repeated blockade of bilateral common carotid arteries.Mice in EA groups began EA treatment on the 4th day after the operation.Baihui (GV 20),Dazhui (GV 14),Geshu (BL 17) and Zusanli (ST 36) were punctured and then connected to EA instrument,with different waves of 2 Hz,80 Hz or 2 Hz/80 Hz (10 min/time) applied accordingly,once a day.During the jumping stand experiment,the learning performance,memory performance and hippocampal calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP),nitric oxide synthase (NOS),malondialdehyde (MDA),changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and true choline esterase (TChE) were observed.In hippocampus,the CGRP level was determined by radioimmunoassay;the MDA level was determined by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method;the activities of NOS and TChE were determined by spectrophotometry;the activity of SOD was determined by xanthine oxidase method.Results:Compared with the sham operation group,the performances of learning and memory decreased significantly in the model group (P＜0.01);in hippocampus,the CGRP level decreased,the MDA level increased,the activities of NOS and TChE increased,and the activity of SOD decreased in the model group.Compared with the model group,the learning and memory performances of the EA groups were significantly improved (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);in hippocampus,the CGRP level increased,the MDA level decreased,the NOS and TChE activities decreased,and the SOD activity increased (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Among EA groups,the 2 Hz/80 Hz EA group was superior to the 2 Hz EA group and the 80 Hz EA group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion:EA can improve the cognitive impairment of mice with ischemia-reperfusion VD.The mechanism may be related to the improvement of cerebral blood circulation,regulation of the central neurotransmitters,fighting lipid peroxidation and promoting nerve cell repair.The therapeutic effects of EA with different frequencies were different,and the intervention effect by EA at 2 Hz/80Hz is the most significant.

Aim To study the therapeutic effect of re-combinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor (rh-aFGF) carbomer 940 gel in the treatment of skin wound healing in type I diabetic rats. Methods Two types of skin trauma models, namely, full-thickness wound and scalded wound,were established in a model of type I diabetes mellitus using STZ-induced SD rats. The rats were divided into control group, vehicle group,90 AU rh-aFGF gel group and 270 AU rh-aFGF gel group in each skin wound models. The wound area and wound healing rate were used to evaluate the thera-peutic effect. The growth of fibroblasts, fibrocytes, collagen fibers and vessel capillaries in the wound was observed using HE staining and analysed by semi-quantitative score. Results The rh-aFGF carbomer gel significantly reduced the traumatic area as well as promoted the wound healing rate of the skin trauma model of SD rats of type I diabetes mellitus (P <0.05). HE staining showed that rh-aFGF carbomer gel significantly promoted the pathological score of fibro-blasts and collagen fibers(P<0.05). Conclusions rh-aFGF carbomer gel might play a protective role in micro-environment of wound and rh-aFGF, which could benefit for proliferation of fibroblasts and colla-gen, therefore promoting the healing process of skin wound in SD rats with type I diabetes mellitus, and it might be expected to be a new preparation for the treat-ment of chronic trauma in diabetes mellitus.
