Objective:To investigate relationships between serum chemerin and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with newly diagnosed Graves disease (GD).Methods:A total of 120 newly diagnosed GD patients with a course more than 3 months were enrolled from the Department of Endocrinology between June 2013 and June 2015.Sixty age-and sex-matched healthy people served as a normal control.Serum levels of chemerin,β-crosslaps (β-CTX),and N-MID-osteocalcin (N-MID-OT) were measured by ELISA.Fat mass and BMD were evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Results:Compared with the normal control,the fat mass,lean weight,fat mass index (FMI) and body mass index (BMI) in the GD group were decreased,and BMD in all skeletal sites was decreased.There was a positive correlation between them (all P<0.05).Serum level of chemerin was increased and it was positively correlated with β-CTX or N-MID-OT level and negatively correlated with fat mass,FMI or BMI in the GD group.There was a negative correlation between chemerin level and BMD in femoral neck,total hip,lumbar or right forearm distal 1/3 (rs=-0.352,-0.279,-0.379,-0.289,-0.394;P<0.05).After adjusting for age,fat mass or BMI,the correlation of chemerin with total hip or bone mineral density remained significant (rs=-0.273,-0.378;P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that chemerin or BMI was correlated with BMD (P<0.05).Conclusion:The decrease of bone mineral density in patients with GD is not only related to the direct or indirect effect of excessive thyroid hormones on systemic and osteoblastic cells,but it is also related to the negative regulation of bone metabolism due to the elevated chemerin level.

Huang Ti's "Nei Ching Su Wen" is the earliest classical work on medical science in ancient China. It summed up the results of observations made in long years through practice by the ancient Chinese labouring people, accumulating thereby lots of valuable knowledge and experience in different lines of medicine.Some two thousand years ago, Chinese medical scientists in the Chou and the Chin Dynasties already conceived the advanced idea of laying special emphasis on prophylactic measures, and began to adopt diet therapy as a means of medical treatment. Principles of preparing complete diet were worked out by them. And in this connection, it is mentioned in the book "Nei Ching Su Wen" that "five kinds of cereals are the means of subsistence, five kinds of cattle provide beneficial food in the form of meat, five kinds of vegetables can be used for food enrichment, and five kinds of fruits may serve as supplement." These principles point out the necessary sorts of food to constitute a complete diet and their respective positions in it. That is to say, cereals including beans and peas are the staple food and animal meat is of secondary importance, with vegetables to enrich and fruits to supplement the first two. A diet thus prepared will not only consist of all the nutritive elements needed by the human body but also represent an appropriate arrangement of the different kinds of nutrients. Such a diet is, no doubt, in accord with the dietetic theory of modern science.

BACKGROUND:The chitosan-sulfated silk fibroin artificial blood vessel was obtained in our previous study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility and function of the chitosan-sulfated silk fibroin artificial blood vessel replacement into the canine femoral artery. METHODS:Eight Beagles were randomly allotted to two groups, and chitosan-sulfated silk fibroin artificial blood vessel was implanted into the femoral artery (experimental group), but animalsin control group received no intervention. Six months after implantation, the coagulation function was detected, the vascular formation, including endothelial, smooth muscle and fibroblast layers were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining under electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts were found in the experimental group, which were similar with the normal vascular structures. (2) Immunohistochemistry:in the experimental group, there was a deeply stained band at the tissue edege through Factor Ⅷ staining, suggesting the formation of the endothelium;there were abundant brown particles precipitated in á-SMA staining, suggesting the vascular smooth muscle cel formation;Vimentin staining showed various brown particle precipitations indicating the fibroblast formation, and all were close to the normal vascular structures. (3) Electron microscope observed that the inner surface and section of the artificial vessel were similar with the normal one, and the three-layer structures formed in the section arranged irregularly. (4) There were no differences in the prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time and fibrinogen between groups. To conclude, these results suggest that the chitosan-sulfated silk fibroin artificial blood vessel holds good biocompatibility and performances.

Novel oneogene with kinase-domain (NOK) can activate multiple mitogenic signaling pathways including the janus kinases(JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (STAT). It was showed that NOK specifically and physicallyinteracted with STAT3 in human embryo kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells. In addition, NOK could directly interact with most of the STAT3 subdomains except coiled-coil and C-terminal domains. Removing ectodomain and transmembrane domain of NOK markedly enhanced its intermolecular interaction with STAT3. Also, NOK could co-immtmoprecipitate with JAK2. in vivo. Importantly, co-expression of NOK and JAK2 produced a synergistic effect on NOK-mediated STAT3 activation, while inactivating the kinase domain of JAK2 completely prevented this synergistic effect. Overall, the results indicated that NOK might complex with both STAT3 and JAK2 and activate STAT3 signaling by a JAK2-dependent mechanism.

Objective To explore imaging manifestations of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH). Methods CT and MR images in 14 patients with HEH proven by histopathology were retrospectively analyzed. Plain and two-phase contrast-enhanced CT scan were performed in 5 cases, non-contrast and multiphase contrast-enhanced MR scan were performed in 7 cases, CT and MRI were both performed in 2 cases. Characteristics of CT and MR T2WI images were classified and analyzed. All lesions were classified into three types:multiple, diffuse and solitary form. Results (1) Multiple form of HEH:228 lesions were found in 11 patients, including 178 lesions on MRI and 50 lesions on CT. On T2WI, three or two layered-target-signs with hyperintensity core were found in 79.2% (141/178) of the lesions. Three layer-target-sign included hyperintensity core, hypointensity rim and slightly high signal halo from the inside out. Two layer-target-sign included hyperintensity core and slightly high signal halo from the inside out. Characteristics of dynamic contrast-enhanced scan included peripheral two or three layered-rim-like enhancement in 66.3%( 118/178) of the lesions;peripheral, gradual rim-like enhancement with enhanced core in 27.0%( 48/178) of the lesions;heterogeneously mild enhancement in 2.2%( 4/178) of the lesions;centripetal enhancement in 4.5%( 8/178) of the lesions. Fifty lesions were found in CT, which showed low density nodules or masses with clear margins. Two-layered-black-target sign were found in 42 lesions in contrast-enhanced images, white-target sign were found in 3 cases, and centripetal enhancement was found in 5 cases. (2) Diffuse form of HEH:in one of the two cases of this type, the lesions could not be separated from normal liver parenchyma, gradual enhancements were found along with the vessels in the center of the lesions. (3) Solitary form of HEH: one case, the lesion showed heterogeneous density in non-contrast CT images and gradual enhancement in contrast-enhanced images. Conclusions We found some imaging characteristics of HEH. Two or three layered-target-sign on T2WI and black-target sign, white-target sign on contrast-enhanced images were unique imaging features of HEH.
