Objective To evaluate the clinical features, diagnosis, and outcome of the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, and the relationship between CMV retinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods A total of 95 eyes of 56 patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis and AIDS were studied. The fundus feature, visual acuity and CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were analyzed and the follow up periods ranged from 2 weeks to 18 months. Results Before the definitive diagnosis of CMV retinitis, the courses of AIDS were 4 to 26 months in all patients. In the initial examination, the granular form of CMV retinal lesion was noted in 55 eyes (57%) in which retinal lesion of 46 eyes was peripheral. The fulminant form of CMV retinitis of 25 eyes (26%) was found in the posterior pole and consisted of densely opaque retinal lesions with blotchy hemorrhage and vasculitis. The overlap between these two presentations was noted in 15 eyes. Papillitis was observed in 7 eyes of CMV retinitis in this series of patients. The visual acuity ranged from finger counting to 0.5. The patients with extensive CMV retinitis or CMV retinitis in the posterior pole got poorer vision. The CD4 + T lymphocyte counts of 30 patients was 0 30 (mean, 15?9/?l), and the survival time ranged from 2 weeks to 18 months (mean, 6.4?3.3 months). The vision was improved and CD4 + T lymphocyte counts was significantly higher in the group treated with ganciclovir, and progression of CMV retinitis occured and the vision decreased in the non treated group. Conclusion CMV retinitis is the most common intraocular complication in patients with AIDS. Diagnosis of CMV retinitis is based on the characteristic of necrotizing retinitis which was typically associated with retinal hemorrhage and vasculitis. Ganciclovir is effective for the treatment of CMV retinitis.

Objective To study the associations between neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)sensitivity and expression of relative proliferation and apoptosis genes in cervical cancer tissues. Furthermore,the potential roles of relative genes expression as monitor in the chemotherapy against cervical cancer tissues were studied. Methods Fifteen pathologically proved Ⅱ A stage cervical cancer patients with HPV 16 positive were divided into effective group and non-effective group according to the clinical response to NACT, the changes of HPV16-E6, p53 genes and proteins expressions were measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. At the same time, MTT assay was used to detected proliferative activity to paclitaxel liposome and carboplatin (paraplatin) in HeLa cells. Results In effective group, the overall response rate was 73.3 % (11/15) and the HPV16-E6 mRNA and protein level after NACT was significantly decreased than that before NACT (t=3.359, t=3.614, P<0.05), while p53mRNA and protein level increased significantly (t =5.852, t=2.838, P <0.05). However, there have no significant different between pre-NACT and Post-NACT of the two genes in the non-effective group. After using chemotherapy HeLa cells growth decreased. Conclusion HPV16-E6 and p53 expreesion level are useful paraneters in evaluating NACT response in cervical cancer tissues. The detection of the two genes expression is a method for predicting efficacy in NACT.

Objective To investigate the effects of β-blockers on cardiac protection and hemodynamic in patients with septic shock. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Forty-one patients with septic shock in accordance with early goal directed treatment and met the target within 6 hours,and admitted to intensive care unit (ICU)of Affiliated Huxi Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2012 to January 2014 were enrolled. The patients were divided into treatment group (n=21)and control group (n=20)by random number table. The patients in both groups were given the standard treatment,esmolol was giving to patients in treatment group in order to control the heart rate (HR)below 100 bpm within 2 hours,and the patients in control group only received standard treatment. The changes in hemodynamic parameters〔mean arterial pressure(MAP),central venous pressure(CVP), HR,cardiac index(CI),stroke volume index(SVI),systemic vascular resistance(SVRI),global end diastolic volume index(GEDVI)〕,biochemistry metabolic of tissue〔central venous oxygen saturation(ScvO2),lactic acid(Lac)〕,and cardiac markers 〔troponin I (cTnI)〕before and 12,24,48,72 hours after the treatment were recorded. Results①Before treatment,the hemodynamic parameters,tissue metabolism index and cTnI had no significant differences in both groups (all P>0.05).②The hemodynamic parameters after treatment in the control group showed no significant difference compared with that before treatment. HR and CI in the treatment group were gradually declined after treatment,SVRI and GEDVI were gradually increased. There were significant differences in HR,CI,SVRI,and GEDVI between treatment group and control group from 12 hours on〔HR(bpm):93±4 vs. 118±13,CI (L·min-1·m-2):3.3 ±0.8 vs. 4.5 ±0.6,SVRI (kPa·s·L-1·m-2):159.2 ±27.4 vs. 130.5 ±24.2,GEDVI(mL/m2):668 ±148 vs. 588 ±103,P<0.05 or P<0.01〕. MAP,CVP and SVI in the treatment group showed no significant changes. ③Lac after treatment in both groups was decreased slowly,Lac (mmol/L)at 12 hours after treatment was significantly decreased compared with that before treatment (control group:8.8 ±3.2 vs. 9.8 ±3.4,treatment group:9.5±3.1 vs. 10.5±4.1,both P<0.05). The Lac of control group and treatment group were 2.5±1.2 and 2.7±1.1 at 72 hours after treatment,and there was no significant difference between two groups (all P>0.05). The ScvO2 was not decreased in both groups.④Compared with before treatment,cTnI in the control group was gradually increased,peaked at 72 hours,and that in the treatment group was gradually increased,peaked at 24 hours and then gradually declined. Compared with control group,the cTnI (μg/L)in the treatment group was decreased significantly at 24,48,72 hours (1.15 ±0.57 vs. 1.74 ±0.77,0.93 ±0.52 vs. 2.15 ±1.23,0.52 ±0.36 vs. 2.39 ±1.17,all P<0.01). Conclusionsβ-blockers (esmolol) can improve cardiac function and myocardial compliance,reduce the myocardial injury in patients with sepsis shock. Although β-blockers can decrease cardiac output,it has no influence on the circulation function and tissue perfusion.

The mobilization efficiency of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) to bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs) in mice was observed, and the changes of CXCL12/CXCR4 signal were detected in order to find out the mobilization mechanism of stem cells. Kunming mice were randomly divided into two groups. The mice in treatment group were subjected to subcutaneous injection of G-CSF at a dose of 100 mug/kg and SCF at a dose of 25 mug/kg every day for 5 days, and those in control group were given isodose physiological saline. The MNCs were separated, counted and cultured, and the colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) was evaluated. CD34(+)CXCR4(+) MNCs were sorted by flow cytometry. The expression of CXCL12 protein in bone marrow extracellular fluid was detected by ELISA, and that of CXCL12 mRNA in bone marrow was measured by RT-PCR. The results showed that the counts of MNCs in peripheral blood and bone marrow were increased after administration of G-CSF/SCF (P<0.01). The factors had a dramatic effect on the expansion capability of CFU-F (P<0.05). Flow cytometric of bone marrow MNCs surface markers revealed that CD34(+)CXCR4(+) cells accounted for 44.6%+/-8.7% of the total CD34(+) MNCs. Moreover, G-CSF/SCF treatment induced a decrease in bone marrow CXCL12 mRNA that closely mirrored the fall in CXCL12 protein. In this study, it is evidenced that G-CSF/SCF can effectively induce MNCs mobilization by disrupting the balance of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling pathway in the bone marrow and down-regulating the interaction of CXCL12/CXCR4.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of whole?body bone scan combined with SPECT/CT imaging for osteofibrous dysplasia( OFD) . Methods A total of 30 patients ( 14 males, 16 fe?males, age range 10-48 ( average age 29.2) years) with OFD confirmed by pathology from June 2007 to De?cember 2014 were included. The images of whole?body bone scan and SPECT/CT imaging were retrospec?tively analyzed. Results Nineteen patients (63.3%, 19/30) showed monostotic OFD, which mainly in?volved extremities (n=18), especially the femur. Eleven patients(36.7%, 11/30) showed polyostotic OFD, which frequently be seen unilaterally (n=7). Highly or obviously abnormal uptakes of radiotracer were shown in most lesions (95.3%, 81/85) on whole?body bone planar images, the ribs and extremities showed abnormal uptake along the backbone orientation, while the cranium, pelvis and spine showed irregu?lar bulky uptake of radioactivity. On SPECT/CT images, the lesions of high or obvious abnormal uptake of radiotracer mainly showed cystic expansion growth, ground glass, vegetable sponge and mixed appearance;and the higher the radioactive aggregation degree was, the more the morphological changes were. The density and morphological changes on CT were not obvious for lesions with moderately and mildly abnormal uptake of radiotracer. Conclusion The whole?body bone scan combined with SPECT/CT imaging is an effective diag?nostic method for OFD.
