Objective To assess the application of three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) in evaluation of ruptured intracranial aneurysm after clipping and to discuss the different variable use of vol-ume rendering(VR), gradient rendering (GR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP). Methods From January 2011 to December 2012 , 88 patients with 92 ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated with clipping using titani-um clips in our hospital and followed up by both 2D-DSA and 3D-DSA. Residual aneurysms , Clips place, clips and parent arteries and stenosis of parent arteries were evaluated by volume rendering (VR), gradient rendering (GR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP). Results Among 92 clipped aneurysms, 23 residual aneurysms were found by 3D-DSA. Residual aneurysms were recorded according to the Sindou grade: 15 of gradeⅠ, 3 of gradeⅡ, 4 of grade Ⅲand 1 of grade Ⅳ. Three patients of grade Ⅲand 1 of grade Ⅳwith residual aneurysms were retreated by clipping or coiling, and 1 patient of grade Ⅲ was dead with rupture of residual aneurysm. The clips and number of clips were clearly visualized , and relationship between the clips and the aneurysms was well demonstrated by VR, GR and MIP images. VR, GR images showed the remnants clearly. Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography did not showed accurate details of the stenosis of parent arties which required an analysis of 2D-DSA. Conclusion Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography can be used for definite evaluation of resid-ual aneurysms after clipping, especially by VR, GR images. It is helpful to manage the residual ruptured aneurysms.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Shen warming Pi strengthening method on expressions of serum T cell subsets (C045+%, C03+%, and C04 +/COB+) in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-0) rats. Methods An IBS-0 rat model was established referring to AL-Chaer's modeling method combined with tail clamp and intragastric administration of sanna leaf. After modeling 30 SO rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to random digit table, i.e., the model group, the high, middle, low dose Wenshen Jianpi Recipe (WJR) groups, and the Sishen Pill control group, 6 in each group. A normal control group consisting of 6 SO rats were also set up. Rats in high, middle, low dose WJ R groups were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free WJ R at the daily dose of 3. 100, 1. 550, 0. 775 g/kg, respectively. Rats in the Sis hen Pill control group were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free Sis hen Pill at the daily dose of 0. 736 g/kg. Equal volume of normal saline was given by gastrogavage to rats in the model group and the normal control group. All medication lasted for 2 successive weeks. Rats' general state, expressions of T cell subsets (CD45+%, CD3+%, and CD4+ /CDB+) changes were observed.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% increased, but CD4+ /CDB+ decreased with statistical difference (P < 0. 05). Compared with the model group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% decreased, but CD4+ ICDB+ increased with statistical difference in high, middle, low dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group (P <0. 05). Compared with the Sis hen Pill control group, there was statistical difference in all indices except CD45+ value in the low dose SWPSM group (P <0. 05). Compared with the low dose WJ R group, the expression of CD3+% decreased in high and middle dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group; CD4+ /CD8+ increased in the Sishen Pill control group and the high dose SWPSM group (all P < 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONSWJR showed better treatment effect. The mechanism of Shen warming Pi strengthening method might be achieved by regulating expressions of CD45+% and CD3+%, and CD4+ /CD8+ ratios.

In this paper, the process performance indexes (PPIs) P(p) and P(pk) were introduced and applied to evaluate the process capability and quality consistence of Chinese medicine products. The historical quality analysis data of Qingkailing injection were collected and taken as the research object. The confidence intervals of P(p) and P(pk) were estimated based on the Bootstrap sampling methods. Results showed that the value and width of the confidence interval P(p) of were smaller that of P(pk) suggesting that the P(pk) index was more sensitive than P(p) in process capability analysis. Within the production period concerned, the P(pk) values estimated from different quality indexes of Qingkailing injection, such as baicalin, cholic acid, geniposide and total nitrogen, were 1.122, 2.055, 1.564 and 0.891, respectively. It could be found that the cholic acid had the highest process capability, followed by the geniposide and baicalin. The total nitrogen had the lowest process capability, indicating that it is necessary to reinforce the quality management of total nitrogen related manufacturing processes. The case studies demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of PPIs, which are convenient to be used in production practice of Chinese medicine.

Objective:To explore the relationship between vesicular monoamine transporter 2(VMAT2) density in the striatum and the non-motor symptoms(NMSs) in patients with Parkinson′s disease(PD).Methods:From December 2018 to December 2019, 29 normal controls (16 males, 13 females, age: (48.8±14.2) years), 31 patients with PD at the Hoehn-Yahr (mH-Y) Ⅱ stage (16 males, 15 females, age: (53.4±8.5) years) and 36 patients with PD at mH-Y Ⅲ stage (19 males, 17 females, age: (63.1±8.2) years) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were prospectively enrolled in this study. All subjects underwent 18F-fluoropropyl-(+ )-dihydrotetrabenazine( 18F-FP-(+ )-DTBZ, 18F-AV133) PET/CT imaging, then the specific uptake ratios (SURs) of striatal subregions were measured with the occipital cortex as the reference background region. The clinical data, laboratory data and imaging results were collected. The NMSs of each patient were evaluated with Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Parkinson′s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Parkinson′s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQL) and Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS). The independent-sample t test and one-way analysis of variance (the least significant difference t test) were used to compare data differences. Finally, the association of the striatal SURs with the clinical symptom scores were evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis and multivariable stepwise regression analysis. Results:Significant differences were found in depression (3.51±1.34 vs 11.36±3.87), anxiety (2.35±1.45 vs 6.00±3.32), sleep disorder (132.90±12.26 vs 110.34±19.69) and life quality (7.58±3.37 vs 24.01±10.15) scores between the mH-Y stage Ⅱ and the stage Ⅲ patients ( t values: from -10.573 to 5.439, all P<0.05), while cognitive scores did not differ significantly between the 2 PD groups ( t=1.067, P>0.05). Compared with healthy control group (1.28±0.22), the PD groups displayed a more marked decrease of SURs in the bilateral putamen and in the caudate nucleus (0.65±0.16 and 0.31±0.14; F=83.11, P<0.05), and the SURs of patients at stage Ⅱ were higher than those of the patients at stage Ⅲ ( t=9.116, P<0.05). NMSs scores of PD patients, with the exception of cognition scores, were correlated with striatal SURs ( r values: from -0.647 to -0.426, all P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that total striatum SURs was the best predictor of PDSS and NMSS scores ( R2 values: 0.234, 0.378, both P<0.001), while contralateral caudate nucleus SURs were best predictor of HAMD scores ( R2=0.402, P<0.001). The SURs of contralateral putamen were best variables for predicting HAMA scores ( R2=0.204, P<0.001). Conclusion:The correlation between the decreased striatal VMAT2 and a broad spectrum of NMSs in patients with PD is established, suggesting that the defect in dopamine supply may be an early abnormality promoting mechanisms leading to the development of NMSs in PD.

Objective To explore the most effective route of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation (MSCs) in D-galactosamine (D-gal) induced porcine model with acute liver failure (ALF) and the potential mechanism.Methods BA-MA mini-pigs with D-gal-induced ALF were transplanted with porcine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through four routes:intraportal injection (InP),peripheral intravenous injection (PV),hepatic intra-arterial injection (AH) and intrahepatic injection (IH).The survival time was recorded.The blood samples before and after MSC transplantation were collected for detecting liver function.Liver histology was interpreted and scored.Hepatic apoptosis and regeneration were detected by Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase dUTP Nick End Labeling (TUNEL) assay and Ki-67 assay.The protein expression of cleaved caspase-3,survivin,AKT and ERK were analyzed by Western blot.Results The average survival time in each group was (10.7 ±1.6) days (InP),(6.0 ±0.9) days (AH),(4.7 ±1.4) days (PV),(4.3 ± 0.8) days (IH) when compared with D-gal group [(3.8 ± 0.8) days].The histopathological scores revealed a significantly decrease in InP group (3.17 ± 1.04,P ＜0.05) and AH group (8.17 ± 0.76,P ＜ 0.05) when compared with that in D-gal group (11.50 ± 1.32).The apoptosis rate in InP group (25.0 ± 3.4％,P ＜ 0.05) and AH group (40.5 ± 1.0％,P ＜ 0.05) was lower than that in D-gal group (70.6 ± 8.5％).The expression of active caspase-3 was inhibited,while the expression of survivin,AKT and ERK was elevated in InP group.Conclusions The intraportal injection was superior to other pathways for MSCs transplantation.Intraportal MSC transplantation could improve liver function,inhibit cell apoptosis,promote cell proliferation and prolong the survival in porcine ALF model.

Objective To study the relationship between the MDR1 gene expressions and CD56 antigen expression in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML) and to explore the role of this two factors in clinical drug resistance and their correlation. Methods A real-time quantitative RT-PCR method was established for detecting MDR1 expression levels and three-color flow cytometry analysis using CD34/ SSC gating was used to examined CD56 antigen expression in 79 de novo AML patients. Results CD56 an-tigen was recorded in 19 out of 79 cases (24.1%) and particularly in those with M5 cytotypes. Moreover, CD56 expression was significantly associated with unfavorable cytogenetic abnormalities (P<0.05), Patients with t(8:21)had a significantly higher incidence (57.1%, 4/7) of CD56 expression than those with favora-ble karyotype(P<0.05). CD56~+ AML patients had a higher incidence of splenohepatomegalia and lactate dehydrogenase level than CD56~- patients(P<0.05). The median expression levels of MDR1 was statistical-ly higher in CD56~+ AML patients than that in CD56 patients(P<0.001). Patients with both high levels of MDR1 and CD56~+ had a significantly lower CR(complete remission) rate than those with both low MDR1 level and CD56 (58.8% vs 89.2%, P<0.01). Conclusion There is a linear correlation between MDR1 gene expression and CD56 expression in AML. Quantification of the MDR1 gene expression together with CD56 antigen expression is more effective to the judgement of prognosis in AML.

A total of 1 100 patients underwent renal transplantation in the Organ Transplantation Center,Second Affiliated Department of General Hospital of Chinese PLA between 1988 and 2008 were collected,and retrospective analysis was performed in five female patients with malignant tumor,which appeared at 68 months (20-132 months) following renal transplantation,including 2 with renipelvic and uretal cancer and 3 with bladder cancer. Two of the 3 patients with bladder cancer presented homolateral renipelvic and uretal metastasis. Three cases and 1 case of upper uretal cacer were observed at the homolateral or heterolateral of kidney grafts respectively. The main characteristic of sign was iterative and painless gross hematuria. The 5 patients underwent renal transplantation with intravesical instillation therapy and nephrectomy. All patients were survived without rejection in the 1-62 months follow-up. The incidence of malignancy in renal allograft recipients is much higher than that in normal ones,which is related to the long term use of immunosuppressants. Urinary epithelial cancer is the main complicating carcinoma and the first choice of treatment is surgical operation. Based on the normal renal grafts function,the dose of immunosuppressants should be as low as possible,Moreover,radiotherapy or chemiotherapy should be adopted according to the types and stages of tumor complicating renal transplantation.
