Objective:To study effects of different pretreatment methods on the detection of pesticide residues in Angelicae Sinensis Radix,ChrysanthemI Flos,Lych Fructus,Astragali Radix and Lonicerae Japonicae Flos.Methods:The samples were treated with QuEChERS method and high-speed homogenization combined with hydro-phile-lipophile balance(HLB)solid-phase extraction method,and the residual amounts of carbofuran,3-carboxyl-carbofuran,phorate,phorate sulfone,phorate sulfoxide,and methyl isoflurophos were simultaneously determined using UHPLC-MS/MS.With a gradient elutionof 0.1％formic acid solution containing 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate and t 0.1％formic acid solution containing 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate-acetonitrile(volume ratio of 5:95),Ultra-performance liquid chromatography column Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-C18(2.1 mm × 100 mm,2.7μm)was used at 35 ℃ and the electrospray ion source was scanned in the positive ion mode and detected in the multiple reaction monitoring mode in mass spectrometry.Results:The deviation of the results measured by QuECh-ERS method and HLB solid-phase extraction method was between 9.09％-55.56％.Conclusion:In the selection of the pretreatment method for the detection of pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicine,it is recommen-ded to take the measurement data of positive samples as the evaluation index and basis,and choose the method with higher measurement value and high extraction efficiency.

Disulfiram, a drug that has been used for alcohol dependence. As an approved drug in clinical medicine, disulfiram can be used as the anticancer drug in the treatment of breast cancer, prostate cancer, glioblastoma, lung cancer, etc. This paper summarized the mechanism of disulfiram for anticancer treatment and the function for liver cancer therapy, and we also analyzed the potential mechanism of disulfiram for the treatment of liver cancer and its’ value in the clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the contraction function of puborectalis (PR) with shear wave elastography (SWE).Methods Twenty-eight patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q Ⅲ group and POP-Q Ⅳ group,each n=14) and 28 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled.The Young's modulus of PR in the front,middle and back of pubic rectal muscles of each group at resting and maximal rectal state were measured with shear wave elastography,and then were statistically analyzed.Results Youngs modulus of maximum rectal state of each group was higher than that of resting state (all P＜0.05).At resting and maximal rectal state,the Young's modulus and their differences in POP-Q Ⅲ group and POP-Q Ⅳ group were significantly different compared with control group (all P＜0.05),but those in POP-Q Ⅲ group and POP-Q Ⅳ group were not (all P＞0.05).Conclusion Decrease of PR systolic function can be observed in patients with pelvic organ prolapse,and SWE can be used to detect abnormal function of PR systolic function.

Endometrial lesions are common gynecological diseases in women,including submucosal fibroids,endometrial polyps,endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer,etc.Endometrial hyperplasia is one of the precancerous lesions,and early diagnosis can effectively reduce the rate of malignancy.Ultrasound elastography has been gradually used in gynecology.The classification,principles of ultrasound elastography and its application in diagnosis of endometrial lesions were reviewed in the article.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Early adverse life events (EALs) are relevant to irritable bowel syndrome in adulthood. Maternal separation (MS), as one of the EALs, has proved to induce visceral hypersensitivity in adult rats. However, the effect of MS on visceral hypersensitvity from the post-weaning period to adulthood remains unknown. METHODS: One hundred and ten neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: rats in the MS group were exposed to 3 hours daily MS on postnatal day (PND) 2–14; the normal control (NC) group remained undisturbed. Visceral sensitivity was determined by measuring the visceromotor response to colorectal distention on PND21, 35, and 56. Anxiety-like behaviors were measured by the open field test. RESULTS: Compared with NC rats, MS rats showed significant visceral hypersensitivity from the post-weaning period to adult. The proportion of visceral hypersensitive rats decreased with age from 87.5% to 70.0% in the female MS group and from 90.0% to 66.7% in the male MS group. The relative VMR ratio of MS and NC on PND21 was higher than PND35 and PND56. MS rats showed decreased ability of movement and exploration to the novel environment in the post-weaning period, obesity in the prepubertal period, and more anxiety-like behaviors in adulthood. CONCLUSIONS: MS can significantly affect visceral sensitivity and behaviors of rats in different age stages, especially in the post-weaning period. Visceral hypersensitivity of MS rats is more pronounced in the post-weaning period and slightly restored in adults. Thus, visceral hypersensitivity in the post-weaning period might play a more meaningful pathophysiologic role in the formation of adult irritable bowel syndrome.

The injury of anal sphincter complex during childbirth can result in long-term anal incontinence problems.Recently,several new techniques in ultrasound have been used to evaluate the function and injury of anal sphincter,such as tomographic ultrasound imaging,volume contrast imaging and speckle reduction imaging.The diagnosis rate of the injury of anal sphincter complex has been improved rapidly.The development of 2D and 3D ultrasound in evaluating function and injury of postpartum anal sphincter complex were reviewed in this article.

The central nervous system disease and musculoskeletal diseases often involve skeletal muscles.Quantitative evaluation of strength and hardness of a single muscle accurately and rapidly are basis for causation analysis of movement dysfunction.Real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new ultrasonic imaging technique developed in recent years,and still has a preliminary application in the skeletal muscle system.The application and research progresses of SWE in auxiliary diagnosis of disease in skeletal muscles were reviewed in this article.

Objective To explore the effect of different delivering methods on the pelvic floor function in vaginal delivery by transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound.Methods Eighty-four patients delivered transvaginal were classified into three groups according to the mode of delivery (perineal integrity group [n=32],episiotomy group [n=30] and forceps delivery group [n=22]).The hiatal images at resting,Valsalva,levator ani muscle maximum contraction were obtained and compared in three groups.Results There were no differences between perineal integrity group and episiotomy group in hiatal diameter and area (P＞0.05).There were significantly differences between perineal integrity group and forceps delivery group in hiatal diameter,area and change in hiatal area from rest to pelvic floor muscle contraction and from rest to Valsalva (all P＜0.05).Conclusion The injury of the pelvic floor of forceps delivery group is bigger than perineal integrity.And episiotomy is no significant difference with pelvic floor function injury.

Thyroid nodule is a common diseases of neck,which property is usually identified by ultrasound examination.Color doppler ultrasonography can reflect the distribution of blood vessels and blood flow within the nodules.And with development of new technologies,three-dimensional ultrasound increase the accuracy of identification.Three-dimension power doppler ultrasound (3D-PDUS) can reflect blood flow information within the nodule space,which is more accurate than two-dimensional ultrasound and it can be used to evaluate the blood flow in nodules qualitatively and quantitatively,provide a new reference for clinical diagnosis of thyroid nodule.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of comparing enhanced transvaginal ultrasound (E-TVS),none enhanced transvaginal ultrasound (TVS),and transrectal ultrasound (TRS) in preoperative detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the rectosigmoid by Meta-analysis.Methods The literatures published from January 1990 to June 2016 were searched.The information of literatures were selected and evaluated.The included data was statistically analyzed by Meta-disc 1.4 software.Results Totally 25 literatures were enrolled.The pooled sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood ratio,negative likelihood ratio,diagnostic odds ratio were 0.92,0.96,16.64,0.09,227.95 for E-TVS,0.83,0.97,16.95,0.17,112.97 for TVS,0.94,0.96,14.43,0.08,208.72 for TRS,respectively.Area under the curve were 0.980 4,0.966 3,0.979 0,respectively.Conclusion Diagnostic value of the three ultrasonography in preoperative detection of DIE in the rectosigmoid are E-TVS,TRS,TVS.E-TVS can be used as the preferred method of ultrasonic diagnosis of DIE in the rectosigmoid.
