Objective To investigate MRI features of malignant meningioma,in order to improve diagnostic rate of the disease preoperatively.Methods 18 cases with intact MRI materials proved operatively and pathologically were collected.Results Most tumors showed heterogeneous and low signal intensity on T 1WI,(16/18 cases),and heterogeneous and high signal intensity on T 2WI,(14/18cases). 15 of 18 cases showed significant but inhomogeneous contrast enhancement.The tumors were irregular or lobulated in contour with all or part of the border ill-defined. Conclusion Malignant meningiomas do have characteristic MRI features besides in common with benign ones.

To find out the risk factors of hospital infection in childhood primary nephrotic syndrome(nephrosis) and prophylactico therapeutic measures, 190 cases of child patients hospitalized for nephrosis during the period lasting from 1991 to 1999 were collected. Then a retrospective analysis of the distribution of the various risk factors was made using the single factor analysis and the logistic multi factor regression model. The hospital infection rate was found to be 34.2%, with respiratory infection accounting for 69.7%. The single factor analysis indicated that the risk factors included quantity of urinary protein per kilogram of weight within 24 hours(urinary protein), length of stay, length of hormone usage, entities of antibiotics used and length of such usage. The multi factor analysis indicated that the risk factors included urinary protein, entities of antibiotics used and length of such usage. The authors present the view that strengthening the control of respiratory diseases, setting up clean wards, and ensuring the rational use of antibiotics are some of the key measures for reducing the rate of hospital infection. The quantity of urinary protein is a sensitive index of hospital infection in nephrosis. Once diagnosis of nephrosis has been confirmed, it is necessary to use ACH in full dose and for a complete course of treatment so as to reduce the loss of protein from the urine as soon as possible.

ObjectiveTo study the anti-proliferative effect and the mechanism of arotinoid Ro40-8757 on human pancreatic carcinoma cell line JF-305.MethodsMTT assay was used to evaluate the growth inhibition effect of Ro40-8757 on human pancreatic carcinoma cell line JF-305. The expression of p27 protein was measured by Western blotting, and flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis.ResultsRo40-8757 significantly inhibited the growth of JF-305 cells with a dose-, time-dependent manner. After 72 hours treatment with 10 -5mol/L Ro40-8757, the proportion of cells in G 1 phase increased from 56% to 76% while the cells in S phase decreased from 25% to 7%. Western blot analysis showed that the expression of p27 protein in cells treated with Ro40-8757 increased markedly.Conclusion Ro40-8757 inhibits the growth of pancreatic carcinoma cell line JF-305 possibly by up-regulating p27 protein expression and arresting cell cycle.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and its effect on tumor interstitial angiogenesis and the biological behavior of gastric carcinoma. Methods CD34 was used to explore the microvessel density (MVD) as the marker of endothelial cell. bFGF was qualitatively and quantitatively detected with immunohistochemistry on 74 cases of gastric carcinoma and 17 cases of adjacent normal gastric tissue. Results Measurement of CD34 expression could be used to describe endothelial cell proliferation and vascularity. Strong expression of bFGF was localized in the cytoplasm of tumor cell and interstitial new microvessel endothelial cells. Expression of bFGF in tumor tissue was stronger than in corresponding non tumor normal gastric tissue ( P

Objective To analyze the infection situation and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in children in Yulin, Shaanxi province. Methods A total of 374 preschool children with digestive tract symptoms in Yulin area from December 2019 to December 2020 were selected. All the research object of personal data by using self-designed questionnaire (gender, age), personal experiences and health habits (common tableware, common koubei brushing your teeth, wash your hands before the rice then empress), the life habits (whether diet, koubei utilities, brushing your teeth regularly to suck finger), socioeconomic status, place of residence, with the number of living, family economic income), caregivers has a history of stomach problems (parents, nanny) And so on. The investigation method is the combination of telephone inquiry and on-site investigation. 3ml fasting venous blood was collected, and the supernatant was centrifuged. Serum IL-17 and IL-10 levels were determined by ENZYme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Treg and Th17 cell levels were determined by flow cytometry. Hp infection was detected by 14C urea breath test. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors of Hp infection in children. Results Eighty-three of the 374 children were infected with Hp, and the infection rate was 22.19%. The levels of Treg and IL-10 in peripheral blood of Hp infected children were significantly lower than those of non-hp infected children (P<0.05). The levels of Th17 and IL-17 in peripheral blood of children with Hp infection were significantly higher than those without Hp infection (P<0.05). In univariate analysis, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in age, parental education level, per capita monthly income, sharing tableware, sharing toothbrushing cups, washing hands before and after meals, sucking fingers, parents' knowledge of Hp, and caregivers' history of stomach disease (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that sharing tableware, sharing toothbrushing cups, sucking fingers, parents' lack of knowledge about Hp, and caregivers' history of gastric diseases were independent risk factors for Hp infection in children (P<0.05). Conclusion The infection rate of Hp in children is high, and Hp infection can cause immune system dysfunction in children. It is necessary to take targeted and effective clinical measures to prevent Hp infection.
