Objective: To compare the diagnostic value of two-dimensional time-of-flight (2D TOF) magnetic resonance venography in the sagittal plane, 2D TOF in the coronal plane, and three-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance venography (3D CE-MRV) for intracranial venous sinus disease. Methods: Thirteen patients were suspected of having intracranial venous system abnormalities in the Neuro-surgical Outpatient Department, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were included from July 2011 to March 2012. 2D TOF and 3D CE-MRV scan in the sagittal and coronal planes were performed at the same time. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) was used for 3D reconstruction. The diagnostic results were compared with DSA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa value of the 8 main vein structures (superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, bilateral transverse sinus, bilateral sigmoid sinus and bilateral transverse-sigmoid sinus junction) of the 2D TOF in the sagittal plane, 2D TOF in the coronal plane, and 2D TOF in the sagittal plane in combination with coronal plane were calculated. Results: Circled digit oneCompared to the diagnostic results of DSA, there was significant difference in using the diagnosis with TOF in the sagittal plane or coronal plane alone (all P <0.05), but there was no significant difference after combining the two methods (χu2 =1.500, P>0.05). Circled digit twoTaking DSA as a standard, the consistency of 3D CE-MRV and DSA conclusions was the highest (P<0.01, Kappa =0.933). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predicting value were 94.4%, 98.8%, 94.4%, and 98.8%, respectively. The consistency of the diagnostic results of 2D TOF in the coronal plane in combination with sagittal plane and the DSA conclusions were higher than that of 2D TOF in the coronal plane or 2D TOF in the sagittal plane alone (Kappa values were 0.815, 0.635, and 0.608, respectively). Conclusion: When it is difficult to diagnose intracranial venous sinus disease with 2D TOF in the coronal plane or 2D TOF in the sagittal plane alone, the 2D TOF sequence of other direction should be added, the collaborative diagnosis of both may improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The diagnosis of 3D CE-MRV and DSA showed a high degree of consistency. They may be used as a routine examination for the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus disease.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that the basement membrane matrix can induced the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, but there is a wide gap between its mechanical properties and practical application, and further research is needed. OBJECTIVE:To prepare a suitable matrigel/chitosan scaffold that has appropriate mechanical properties and remarkable bioactivity for cartilage repair. METHODS: We selected genipin as cross-linking agent, and mixed Matrigel with cross-linked chitosan at different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:3). Then rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were seeded on different scaffolds and cultured for 14 days. The mechanical properties of materials were measured by DMA. Cel counting kit-8, FDA staining, ELISA kits and Alcian blue staining were used to measure the bioactivity of materials. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The storage modulus of scaffolds was raised from 0.48 kPa to 1.78 kPa with increase ratio of chitosan. Cels spread wel in the early period on al scaffolds, and then the cels on the chitosan scaffold showed reduced chondrogenic activity, but cels on the scaffolds with matrigel could maintain chondrogenic differentiation. The matrigel/chitosan scaffold at a ratio of 1:1 had appropriate mechanical properties and higher levels of colagen II and colagen X at 14 days. The prepared matrigel/chitosan scaffold with decent mechanical performance can promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into chondrogenic lineages, which can be used in cartilage tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the role of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) in the treatment of testicular cancer. Methods The clinical data of 39 cases (age range,20-58 years;median age,29 years) of germ cell tumor who underwent RPLND were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 39 cases,17 had the tumors on the left side and 22,on the right.One case was of seminoma,and the other 38 were of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT).According to the clinical examinations and radiology, 20 cases were of stage Ⅰ,15 of stage Ⅱ,and the rest 4 could not be staged. Results Of the 39 cases,10 with stage I tumors underwent nerve-sparing modified RPLND and the other 29 underwent bilateral RPLND.No metastasis was found in the dissected tissues in 22 cases,while metastasis,in 17 (including 4 of clinical stage I).All the patients with pathological metastases or elevation of blood tumor markers received postoperative chemotherapy.Follow-up was carried out for 1-149 months.The disease-free survival rate was 97.4%(38/39).Of the 10 cases receiving modified RPLND,8 regained their ejaculation function. Conclusions The probability of presence of the non-seminomatous components must be considered in the diagnosis and follow-up of seminoma cases,and the RPLND should be done if necessary.Nerve-sparing modified RPLND should be performed for clinical stage Ⅰ patients;while postoperative chemotherapy should be chosen for pathological stage Ⅱ patients.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic time window and the dose response effects of epirubicin on the expression of c-FLIP in breast cancer.Methods MCF-7and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were divided into two groups: epirubicin groups were treated with 4.0,2.0,1.0,0.5 and 0.25mg/L of epirubicin,and control groups were treated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution at the same dose.After treatment for 24,48 and 72 h,the incubated cells were collected for the measurement of c-FLIP by RT-PCR,and for examination of percent of apoptosis cells with flow cytometry.ResultsA dose-time-dependent pattern was observed.The expression of c-FLIP in MCF-7and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines declined gradually as the epirubicin concentration increased and treatment time was prolonged.Percentage of apoptosis breast cancer cells increased gradually as the epirubicin concentration was increased and treatment time was prolonged,and percentage of apoptosis cells was the highest when breast cancer cells were treated with 2 mg/L epirubicin for 72 h.ConclusionsEpirubicin can promote apoptosis of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of c-FLIP,and its inhibitory effect is most pronounced when breast cancer cells are treated with 2 mg/L epirubicin for 72 h.
