Analysis of CT findings and etiology of calcification of the eyeball wall / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate CT findings and the common causes of calcification of the eyeball wall.Methods CT manifestations of 26 cases of calcification of the eyeball wall were reviewed.3 cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology.Etiological diagnosis was made in 23 cases on the basis of detailed history,ophthalmic examination,clinical laboratory and follow-up results.Results Of the 26 patients with calcification of the eyeball wall,19 occurred in unilateral eye,7 occurred in bilateral eyes.The common causes of calcification of the eyeball wall included choroidal osteoma(n= 7),sclerochoroidal calcification(n= 5),subconjunctival lipoma with calcification(n= 4),optic diskdrusen(n=3),long-standing retinal detachment(n=3),recurrent traumatic endophthalmitis(n=2),chronic uveitis(n=1)and postkeratoplasty (n=1).The calcified lesions located in the back of equator of eyeball were showed in 17 patients(66%),in the front of equator in 5 patients(19%),both in the front and back of equator were seen in 4 patients(15%)with multiple lesions.On CT,calcified lesions of the eyeball wall mainly demonstrated some punctiformed,stippled,flat,peltate and irregular high density lesions,and 4 cases with ocular atrophy.Conclusion Most diseases that result in calcification of the eyeball wall have typical location and lesion shape.CT scan is valuable for finding the etiological factors and guiding the clinical treatment.

Effect of Zibai Gelatin for Cervical Cancer SiHa Cells / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To investigate the immunological reaction mechanism of medicated serum in Zibai Gelatin for SiHa cells of the cervical cancer infected by high risk human papilloma virus (HPV). Methods Through immunohistochemical comparison and the cell culture, and after medicated serum was administrated to SiHa cells of cervical cancer for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, optical densities of IL-6, IL-10, CD83 and TNF-αin the same time but different concentrations and different times but the same concentration were observed. Relationships of dose-effect and time-effect between expressions of IL-6, IL-10, CD83 and TNF-α and medicine action were analyzed by calculating average optical density. Results With the increase of medicine concentration and administration time of Zibai Gelatin, the expressions of IL-6 and TNF-αgradually decreased, while the expressions of CD83 and IL-10 gradually increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Zibai Gelatin with medicated serum can inhibit local inflammatory reaction by improving local immunologic function of cervix, which is beneficial to reduce cervix high-risk HPV.

The Meta analysis of different optional time leading to complication and prognosis by laparoscopic cholecystectomy / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of different optional time leading to complication and prognosis by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Search all of clinical randomized trials on early and delay laparoscopic cholecystectomy in CNKI database.The RevMan 5.0 software was used to conduct the Meta-analysis,which was carried out by collecting information based on inclusion and exclusion criteria from all trails' information available,and the pubhcation bias analysis and the susceptivity analysis was also evaluated to make sure the results stable.Results There was significant statistical difference in conversion,surgery time,complication and postoperative hospitahzation time between the ＜ 72 h group and ＞ 72 h group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Meta-analysis shows that in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy progress,the surgical outcome is best with 72h,which can short the surgery and postoperative hospitalization time,reduce the complication and decline the conversion.

Study on intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction induced by postthoracotomyand and protection of alanyl-glutamine dipeptide in aged patients / 中国综合临床

Objective To investigate the changes of intestinal mucosal barrier function and protection of alanyl-glutamine(Alm-Gln) dipeptide during early stage of postthoracotomy in aged patients.Methods A prospective,randomized and controlled trial was conducted and 20 aged patients who underwent non-digestive thoracotomy were randomized into two groups,experimental group (intravenous administration of Aln-Gln dipeptide,0.5 g/(kg · d),for 4 days,n =10) and control group(equal amount saline as placebo,for 4 days,n =10).The indices of boby temperatures,heart rates,respiration and white blood cell count of all patients were daily recorded during administration.Serum concentrations of glutamine (Gln),D-lactate,diamine oxidase (DAO) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were measured before and after operation.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the patients' general information between experimental group and control group including age,gender and body weight.Plasma Gln concentration in postoperative 5 days was higher than that of pre-operation of experiment group ((478.32 ± 47.42) μmol/L vs.(372.67 ± 29.14) μmol/L,P =0.021).The plasma Gln level of control group at 5th day after operation was higher than that in pre-operation ((431.12 ± 42.27) μmol/L vs.(386.29 ± 19.73) μmol/L,P =0.017).The plasma level of Gln in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group after operation((478.32±47.42) μmol/L vs.(386.29 ± 19.73) μmol/L,P =0.012).There were no significantly differences between the two groups in terms of the plasma level of DAO and D-lactate before operation (P ＞ 0.05).Meanwhile the levels of DAO and D-lactate in both group at 5th day after operation were significantly higher than that at before operation(DAO:(2.53 ±0.47) U/ml vs.(1.66±0.32) U/ml,P =0.003;D-lactate:(6.82 ±1.91) mg/L vs.(4.92 ±1.57) mg/L,P =0.024),and the levels of them in experimental group were significantly lower than that in control group(DAO:(1.10 ± 0.23) U/ml vs.(2.53 ± 0.47) U/ml,P =0.013 ; D-lactate:(4.87 ± 1.33) mg/L vs.(6.82 ± 1.91) mg/L,P =0.019).The concentration of TNF-α was significant increase in both two groups at first day after operation,but decreased at the third day.The concentration of TNF-α in experimental group at 5th day after operation was lower than that in control group ((6.89 ± 5.21) pg/L vs.(13.04 ± 4.46) pg,/L,P =0.003).The morbidity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was significantly decreased in experimental group and the rate of SIRS was also lower than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Intestinal mucosal barrier function was damaged after thoracotomy in aged patients.Administration of Aln-Gln dipeptide could increase the level of serum Gln,protect the intestinal barrier and attenuate the systemic inflammatory response.Aln-Gln dipeptide can be used to help aged patients recover rapidly.

CT differential diagnosis of subconjunctival fat prolapse and choristoma / 中国医学影像技术

Objective To investigate CT features of subconjunctival fat prolapse and choristoma. Methods Thirty-eight patients, including 18 with subconjunctival fat prolapse and 20 with choristoma, were retrospectively analyzed. Transverse plain CT scan was performed in all the patients, and then coronal plane images was reconstructed at CT workstation. Results CT features of subconjunctival fat prolapse revealed a crescent-shaped or horn-shaped fat density mass continuous with the orbital fat in the superior temporal quadrant of the orbit. CT features of choristoma revealed a crescent-shaped or triangle fat density mass incontinuous with the orbital fat in the temporal side. Conclusion Subconjunctival fat prolapse typically occurs in bilateral superior temporal quadrant of the orbit in elderly males. Subconjunctival choristoma occurs in the unilateral temporal side in adolescent. CT is helpful to distinguish subconjunctival fat prolapse and choristoma.

Application of ultrasonic integrated backscatter technique in normal retina and retinal disease / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective To examine the retina of healthy adults,hypertensive and diabetic patients by integrated backscatter(IBS), in order to offer the reference for clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis in the various of ocular fundus affection. Methods Retinal IBS of 120 healthy adults,40 hypertensive and 40 diabetic patients was analyzed by HP Sonos 5500. Results IBS% of retina increased with age, and it had positive correlation with age(r= 0.82 ). IBS% of hypertensive group was higher than that of healthy adult group(P 0.05 ). Conclusions IBS% of healthy adults′ retina increases with age; the retinal IBS% of the hypertensive and the diabetic patients are higher than that of the healthy adults.
