China Medical Equipment 2016;13(10):40-43
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI and ultrasound imagingr in the breast intraductal papilloma.Methods: 29 patients with multiple or isolated breast intraductal papilloma were selected, who were pathologically confirmed. All patients underwent preoperative breast X-ray, ultrasound, dedicated breast MRI plain and dynamic enhanced MRI. According to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), we observed the lesion size, shape, location, margin, polymorphism and its relationship with the catheter by the ultrasound and MRI scan, and analyze enhancement pattern of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI lesion. Results: In 29 cases of patients with 30 lesions, a total of 28 lesions were detected by MRI, including one patient with bilateral lesions which were positive, and two cases of malignant tumor which were difficult to identify. 25 lesions were detected by ultrasound, in which 4 cases were negative. There were statistical differences in BI-RADS classification of lesions detected by ultrasound and MRI(Z=-2.377,P<0.05). The detection rate of malignant intraductal papilloma lesion by MRI was higher than ultrasound.Conclusion: MRI and ultrasound imaging can be used for diagnosis of intraductal papilloma, but the MRI is superior to ultrasound scanner in lesion detection rate and accuracy, especially in the intraductal papilloma of benign and malignant.

4."Relationship between diabetic retinopathy ""metabolic memory"" and oxidative stress"
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(3):327-330
Metabolic memory means if the hyperglycemia can't be controlled at early stage of diabetes,chronic complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) will continue to develop even if the blood glucose level maintains normal level at later stage.Oxidative stress plays an important role in the metabolic memory of DR,which interacts with the nitrative stress,advanced glycation end products,genetic modification and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the pathogenesis of DR.Further elucidation of the relationship between oxidative stress and metabolic memory of DR can open the way for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets to prevent DR progression.

Objective To understand the influence of the disease-based hierarchical medical system on inpatients flow covered by the new rural cooperative medical system ( NRCMS) , and that on the funding diversion and medical costs so incurred. Methods One county was selected from the eastern, central and western regions of China respectively, where the disease-based hierarchical medical system has been in place. Policy documents of the three counties were reviewed to analyze such changes as NRCMS inpatients flow, inpatients subsidy diversion, NRCMS fund surplus rate of the current year and medical costs per hospitalization before and after the system was in place. Results A comparison with 2014 found a 1. 26%drop of the out-of-county inpatients of county W of the western region, a 2. 00% increase of township hospitals inpatients of county D in the middle region, and the same ratio of out-of-county and in-county inpatients in county F of the eastern region in 2015. Compared with 2014, the fund surplus rate of county W increased 10. 46%, and the inpatient subsidy ratio of county D decreased 2. 51% for those in out-of-county medical institutions in 2015. Thanks for the quota payment of specific diseases under global budget in county W, the inpatient medical costs per hospitalization dropped at both county and township medical institutions. Conclusions The disease-based hierarchical medical system could optimize the NRCMS inpatients distribution among various medical institutions, conducive for establishment and operation of such a system.

Objective To investigate the genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Guangdong Province by linear probe assay (LiPA) and core,non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) sequence analysis,and to evaluate the accuracy of LiPA for genotyping.MethodsOne hundred and ten HCV specimens from chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients in Guangdong Province were genotyped by both core,NS5B sequence analysis and INNO-LiPA 2.0.The data were then analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software.ResultsAmong the 110 specimens,core and NS5B fragment could be amplified from 97 and 62 specimens,respectively,while both fragments were obtained from 57 specimens. The results of genotyping by core sequence analysis were completely consistent with the results of NS5B sequencing.One hundred and two specimens were classified into five subtypes,i.e.genotype 1a,2a,3a,3b,6a,with frequencies of 61.8% (64),9.8% (10),3.9% (4),3.9% (4),20.6% (21),respectively.All but genotype 6 strains can be genotyped correctly by using INNO-LiPA 2.0.However,only subtype 1b and 3b could be genotyped accurately.81.5% genotype 6a strains were genotyped as 1b by mistake. Conclusions Genotype 6a has become the second most prevalent genotype in Guangdong Province.The LiPA cannot distinguish genotype 6a from 1b strains accurately which needs further investigation.

Objective To measure the mRNA expression of immediate-early gene c-fos in endothelial cells by the use of different intermittent hypoxia (IH) protocols. Methods A gas control delivery system was homemade, which pro-duced IH/re-oxygenation(ROX) environmental exposure. The endothelial cells were exposed to IH/ROX cycles, and were di-vided into three groups (A, B and C). There were five sub-groups in each group. Group A included intermittent normoxia group, standard incubator control group, continuous hypoxia group (CH), 1.5%O2 IH group and 10%O2 IH group. There were different frequency IH of 1.5%O2 and 10%O2 sub-groups in group B and group C. Hypoxia time was 15 s. The intermittent hypoxia cycle was 60 and the ROX time was different. The total cycle time was different, including 1.5 h group, 3 h group, 5 h group, 6.5 h group and 9.5 h group. The mRNA expression of immediate-early gene c-fos was measured by real-time PCR. Results There was no significant difference in the level of c-fos mRNA between intermittent normoxia group and CH group. The expression of c-fos mRNA was significantly higher in 1.5%O2 IH group and 10%O2 IH group than that of intermit-tent normoxia group, and there was a higher expression level of c-fos mRNA in 1.5%O2 IH group than that of 10%O2 IH group (P<0.01). It was found that the mRNA expression of c-fos increased gradually at first, and then gradually decreased. The expression of c-fos mRNA was significantly higher in 5 h group than that of other groups (P<0.01). Conclusion The mRNA expression of immediate-early gene c-fos is increased after exposing to IH/ROX in endothelial cells, which is closely related with IH extents and frequencies.
