RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of acupotomy on inhibiting abnormal formation of subchondral bone in rabbits with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS: A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups of 6 rabbits each [control, model, electroacupuncture (EA) and acupotomy]. Eighteen KOA model rabbits were established using a modified Videman method. Rabbits in EA and acupotomy groups received the intervention for 3 weeks. Then, the cartilage and subchondral bone unit were obtained and the histomorphological changes were recorded. Osteo-protegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in subchondral bone were evaluated by Western blotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with the model group, both the acupotomy and EA groups showed a significant decrease in the Lequesne index (both 0.01) and Mankin score ( 0.01, < 0.05). In addition, both EA and acupotomy groups had a higher expression of total articular cartilage (TAC) ( 0.05, < 0.01) and lower expression of articular calcified cartilage (ACC)/TAC ( 0.05, < 0.05) compared with the model group. The thickness of the subchondral bone plate in EA and acupotomy groups were decreased (both 0.01) compared to the model group. Moreover, trabecular bone volume (BV/TV), protein and relative expression of OPG and the ratio of OPG/RANKL in the subchondral bone of acupotomy group were decreased statistically significant, while these parameters were not significantly changed in the EA group compared with the model group. CONCLUSIONS: In the rabbit model of KOA, acupotomy inhibits aberrant formation of subchondral bone by suppressing OPG/RANKL ratio as a potential therapy for KOA.

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the role of the combination of ultrasound and enhanced CT in analyzing lymph node metastasis in thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) patients by compartment.@*METHOD@#Clinical data of 115 cases (141 sides) with PTC were collected. All had undergone ultrasound in neck and enhanced CT both in neck and in mediastinum before surgery. They were divided into ultrasound group. CT group, and the combination of ultrasound and enhanced CT group to evaluate lymph node metastasis.@*RESULT@#For the central compartment, the accuracy of ultrasound was 61.0%. CT was 48.9%, and the combination of ultrasound and CT was 62.4%. For the lateral compartment, ultrasound was 87.9%, CT was 78.7%, the combination of ultrasound and CT was 85.8%. Ultrasound had higher accuracy than CT in the central (P 0.05). There was no significant difference in accuracy between ultrasound and the combination of ultrasound and CT neither in central (P > 0.05) nor in lateral (P > 0.05) compartment. Six cases of lymph node metastasis in mediastinum and 1 case in parapharyngeal space detected by CT were pathologically proven. CT found that five patients with pulmonary metastasis.@*CONCLUSION@#The combination of ultrasound and CT or single ultrasound has higher accuracy in preoperative evaluation than single CT for lymph node metastasis in PTC. CT can assess some compartments such as mediastinum which can't be detected by ultrasound, and at the same time to evaluate lung metastasis. To evaluate lymph node metastasis in PTC, the combination of ultrasound and CT is more accurate and considerate than single method.

OBJECTIVE@#The purpose of this study was to discuss the role of the combination of carbon nanoparticles and medical imaging to manage the cervical lymph nodes in patients with thyroid carcinoma.@*METHOD@#Eighty one patients with thyroid carcinoma that primary treated were divided into two groups: trial group and control group. Carbon nanoparticles were injected into the thyroid gland of trial group patients. Central compartment (level VI) dissection, levels IIl and IV dissection, lateral node (levels II-V) dissection were performed respectively in all the patients on the basis of medical imaging and pathology. Total lymph nodes, metastasis lymph nodes, black stained lymph nodes and black stained metastasis lymph nodes of trial group were counted respectively in different dissection specimens. Total lymph nodes and metastasis lymph nodes of control group were counted respectively in different dissection specimens. Parathyroid glands of thyroid or central compartment dissection specimens were counted in two groups.@*RESULT@#In trial group, rate of staining lymph node was 80.0% in central neck dissection tissue, 54.9% in levels III and IV dissection specimen, 39.1% in lateral node dissection specimen. In central compartment dissection tissue, lymph nodes on average in control group were less than in trial group (3.03 ± 2.07 vs. 4.72 ± 2.97) (P 0.05). There was no statistic difference between control group and trial group for the metastasis lymph nodes in difference dissection specimens. Parathyroid gland was found in 3 thyroid or central compartment dissection specimens among trial group, which was found in 9 specimens among control group, the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#During levels III and IV dissection in cN0 patients or central compartment dissection, lymph nodes can be signed well by carbon nanoparticles, which can improve the lymph node detection rate, but can not increase the lymph node detection rate in cN+ patients. Parathyroid gland can be preserved by carbon nanoparticles during the thyroid gland resection and central neck dissection.

Temporins are a kind of small,hydrophobic and C-terminus amidated antimicrobial peptides from Rana species.They are effective against bacteria,fungi,yeast,protozoa and viruses.Two novel temporins named as temporin-La(LLRHWKILEKYLanifc) and temporin-Lb(LFRHVVKIFEK.Ylamid.) were cloned from Lithobates catesbeianus.Synthetic peptides of temporin-La and temporin-Lb showed strong antimicrobial activities against bacteria tested,especially Gram-positive bacteria.Besides,temporin-La showed no haemolytic activity to rabbit erythrocytes at the concentration of 250 mg/L while temporin-Lb showed weak haemolytic activity(LC50≈ 230 μmol/L).Transmission electron microscopy showed that temporin-La and temporin-Lb induced different effects on bacterial structure of Staphylococcus aureus.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility of cervical approach for goiter in posterior mediastinum.@*METHOD@#According to the mechanism that goiter filed into posterior mediastinum and the dissection of thyroid gland and mediastinum, we designed the following surgery principles (1) From top to bottom. (2) Find out recurrent nerve at the place where it enters larynx, then dissect recurrent nerve as long as possible and protect it carefully, meanwhile, search thyroid vessels along recurrent nerve. (3) To avoid and uncontrollable serious hemorrhage in the operation, all normal and aberrant blood vessels must be ligated cautiously, and avoid pulling great vessels in the thoracic part. (4) Separating tumor of hemorrhage under surgical capsule. Bluntly, it can avoid damage important structure in most occasions. (5) If the tumor of hemorrhage was difficult to be separated from the surrounding structure, ask thoracic surgeon for cooperation.@*RESULT@#Two operations case were operated under the above guideline successfully, and the operations were performed with satisfactory effect, minimal invasion, rapid recovery and low medical cost.@*CONCLUSION@#Cervical approach for goiter in mediastinum posterior is an ideal method of surgery, but it has following operative indication. (1) imaging date indicate that tumor of posterior septum is not connected to the surrounding structure. (2) It is not accompanied with superior vena cava syndrome. (3) The size of large thyroid tumor of posterior septum could be decreased by taking out the center part of tumor, and it is suitable for liquidized center tissue especially, then take out the tumor from neck. If it is hard to be taken out, you can ask thoracic surgeon for help.
