OBJECTIVETo study the biomechanical change of the craniovertebral junction in conditions of atlas assimilation.
METHODSMimics software was used to process CT data of the craniovertebral junction in a health adult to obtain the three-dimensional reconstruction and the cloudy points of C1, C2 and part of the occipital bone. Then the cloudy points were imported into the Abaqus 6. 8 software to establish the occipito-atlantoaxial finite element model in normal structure. According to the established model in normal structure, the model in conditions of atlas assimilation was set by changing the model parameters. Both models of normal structure and atlas assimilation were loaded with 1. 5 N . m static moment to simulate four motions of flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation respectively. The movement characteristics,joint stress force and ligament deformation was analyzed.
RESULTSUnder 1. 5 N . m moment, in model of atlas assimilation the C1-C2 range of movement decreased from 13. 55° to 11.88° in flexion,increased from 13. 22° to 15. 24° in extension and from 4. 05° to 4. 23° in lateral bending and remained unchanged in axial rotation when compared with the normal model. In flexion movement, the contact force of the atlanto-dental joint increased from 1. 59 MPa to 3. 28 MPa and the deflection of apical ligament, tectorial membrane and alar ligament increased 129. 1%, 157. 6% and 75. 1% respectively when compared with the normal model.
CONCLUSIONSThe normal C1-C2 motion mode is destructed in conditions of atlas assimilation, leading to the changes of the range of movement,joint stress force and the ligament deformation at C1 C2 junction. The atlantoaxial instability will likely occur in flexion motion.

Objective:To study the functional differences between the two progestrone receptor isoforms(PR-A and PR-B) in human endometrial cancer,using antisense oligodeoxynucleotide(AS-ODN) to downregulate isoform B of progestrone receptor in endometrial carcinoma cell lines, After transfection of the oligodeoxynucleotide, several kinds of hormones were added in the cells to observe the different response,whereh to study the functional differences between the two isoforms. Methods: The well-differentiated endometrial cancer cell line Ishikawa and moderate-differentiated endometrial cancer cell line Hec-1B were cultrued in vitro. The cells were transfected with antisense, sense, and scramble-ODN. After 48 hours, the expressions of two progesterone receptor isoforms were detected by Western blot using specific antibody. Then the cells were planted in 96-well plates, transfected with antisense, sense, scramble-ODN and added in several hormones to search for the response in distinct hormones and oligodeoxynucleotides. Results: After transfecting antisense-ODN, two cell lines were down-regulated in progesterone receptor isoform B,but progesterone receptor isoform A was not down-regulated,and the progesterone receptor isoform B of cells transfected with sense and scramble-ODN was not changed. When stimulated by 17?-estradiol(E2)for 72 hours,the growth of Ishikawa cells was significantly higher than that of the control, Hec-1B cells only grew higher than control,but it was to significant in statistics.R5020 inhibited Ishikawa cells significantly after stimulating for 72 hours.There was the same effect in Hec-1B cells after stimulating for 96 hours.On the bases of E2 and R5020, we added mifepristone(RU486) .The cells developed after 96 hours in Ishikawa cells and developed after 48 hours in Hec-1B cells. When PR-B was down-regulated,the stimulating effect of E2 was enhanced, but the inhibitory effect of R5020 was de-creased, RU486 antagonized R5020 weaklier than the control. Conclusion: AS-ODN directed against the human PR-B can inhibit the expression of PR-B effectively,through which the PR-A expresses predominantly. E2 can cause endometrial carcinoma cell growth, PR-B is associated with the stimulating effect of E2 in endometrial carcinoma cells. Progestin (R5020) inhibits the hyperplasia induced by E2,PR-B is involved in the inhibitory effect of R5020. RU486 antagonizes the effect of R5020,inhibiting cell growth, PR-B is involved in the antagonizing effect of RU486.

Objective To observe the changes of serum sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) level in asthmatic patients with different severity of bronchial asthma, and to explore the evaluation value of S1P on the severity of asthma.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. Fifty-two patients with asthma admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University from November 2015 to January 2017 were enrolled. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups. In the same period, 25 healthy subjects were served as healthy control group. All the subjects got the peripheral venous blood collection in the morning fasting, the level of serum S1P was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) was counted, and the pulmonary function test was performed. The correlation among the parameters was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted, and the value of serum S1P on evaluating the severity of asthma was analyzed.Results Fifty-two asthma patients were enrolled, including 17 patients of the mild, 19 of the moderate, and 16 of the severe. Compared with the healthy control group, serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in different degree asthma groups were significantly increased, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was decreased significantly; and with asthma exacerbations, serum S1P levels and peripheral blood EOS were gradually increased [mild, moderate and severe S1P (nmol/L) were 1537.0±120.3, 1980.7±149.5, 2202.2±117.2 (F= 274.624, P= 0.001); EOS (×109/L) were 0.13±0.06, 0.20±0.07, 0.37±0.14 , respectively (F= 44.093,P = 0.001)], and FEV1 was decreased gradually [mild, moderate and severe were 0.89±0.05, 0.63±0.06, 0.42±0.10, respectively (F= 159.756,P = 0.001)]. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in patients with mild, moderate and severe asthma (r value was 0.696, 0.746,0.508, allP < 0.05), and negatively correlations with FEV1 were found (r value was -0.761, -0.655, -0.815, all P < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between serum S1P level and EOS, FEV1 in healthy control group (r value was 0.324 and -0.048, bothP> 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum S1P for assessing mild, moderate and severe asthma was 0.948, 1.000, 1.000, respectively; when the cut-off of S1P was 1181.8, 1534.2, 1708.6 nmol/L, the sensitivity was 88.2%, 100%, 100%, and the specificity was 88.0%, 100% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions During asthma attack, the serum S1P level was gradually increased with the exacerbation of the disease. Serum S1P level has significant evaluative effect on the severity of asthma.
