Uveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, typically as chronic anterior uveitis with insidious onset. Delayed and inadequate treatment may result in loss of patients' vision and even blindness. For refractory or severe uveitis related to juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic immunosuppressive agents should be used as early as possible. With the advantage of controlling ocular inflammation, avoiding ocular complications and reducing the use of traditional immunosuppressant drugs and glucocorticoid, tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors have been new therapeutic options for uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, although methotrexate is known as the first-line approach. However, there are no internationally unified guidelines for clinical issues regarding the timing of application, reduction and withdrawal of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, and no agreement on the application of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors in the management of ocular complications either. An in-depth understanding of the application status and progress of tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis has important clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the rule of the aquaporin 4 (AQP 4) expression in the acute ischemic cerebral tissues, and to study the molecular biologic mechanism of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Methods Thirty six Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups randomly, including control group ( n = 12) and operation group ( n =24). The operation group was studied after the right middle cerebral artery was unilaterally occluded (MCAO) at an interval of 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h, respectively ( n =4 for each sub group). The operation process of the control group was the same as the operation group except MCAO. All rats in both groups were examined with DWI. The relative ADC (rADC), relative density (rd), and relative area (rs) of the biggest hyperintensity signal layer on DWI were measured. After that, the animals were sacrificed and perfused with the mixture solution consisting of TTC at different time intervals. The biggest layer of the ischemic cerebral tissues stained with TTC and corresponding to that of DWI was examined with immunochemistry and in situ hybridization. The AQP 4 expression AQP 4 (△S and ?) was measured with the Image Analyzer. Meanwhile, histologic examination was performed at each group. Results There was no significant change of the DWI and the pathology, as well as the AQP 4 expression in the control group. In the operation group, abnormal high intensity was found in DWI of ipsilateral MCA territory at 15 min after MCAO, and rADC value decreased quickly within 1 h after MCAO, while the AQP 4 expression, the rd DWI, and the rs DWI increased rapidly in the stage. With the progress of the time, the rADC value further decreased at 3 h, and then began increasing slowly till 24 h . But the AQP 4 expression (△S and ?) and the rd as well as the rs continuously increased slowly between 1 h and 6 h after MCAO, then they had an increasing peak except the rd. The AQP 4 expression, rd DWI, and rs DWI all showed positive linear relationship with time, presenting as 2 peaks and a plateau. The corresponding sequential pathologic changes were gradual increase of intracellular edema (

Objective　To establish a simple assay for quick scanning of effective agents in growth inhibition and apoptosis induction. Methods　After observing the correlation between cell number and acid phosphatase activity, and between cell apoptosis and acid phosphatase activity, we established a microplate densimetry method to measure the acid phosphatase activity. We also compared the sensitivity with MTT assay and confirmed cell apoptosis by flow cytometry. Results　In two cell lines of cancer (Hep G2 and CBRH-7919 cells), the acid phosphatase activity was correlated well with the cell number, and was directly proportional to the cell number in the range of 0.5×103～0.7×103. The coefficient reached to 0.994. After stimulation of phorbel ester (TPA) for one hour, the acid phosphatase activity rose significantly. In contrast, after the inhibition of cell growth by As2O3, the acid phosphatase activity decreased significantly. The higher the concentration of As2O3, the lower the acid phophatase activity. The acid phophatase activity went down significantly when apoptosis in Hep G2 cells was only 3.98% and no apoptosis in CBRH-7919 cells after 24-hour treatment with As2O3. Conclusions　The acid phophatase activity of cell may be used to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis. Because of the easiness and quickness, acid phophatase assay might be an ideal approach to scan the effective growth inhibitors and apoptosis inducers in a large number of drugs.

Mild cognitive impairment(MCI)refers to cognitive regression which goes beyond one'S age and education level,but does not influence the activities of daily living.More than half patients with MCI will develop dementia within five years.Therefore,MCI is considered as a risk status of dementia.Early diagnosis of MCI prevents against patients developing dementia. Voxel-based morphometry(VBM)technique quantitatively calculates the size of global and local gray matter voxel and signal intensity.It is a full automatic analysis technique of objective brain morphology.This article reviews the application of VBM technique in patient with MCI.

Objective To assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume and to compare these volume calculations with those made by conventional methods. Methods Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was used to acquire volumetric data from the ovaries of 50 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of in-vitro fertilization treatment. SonoAVC was used to automatically measure the volume of follicles and virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL) was also applied to measure volume, which was used as the standard of volume measurement. And the three perpendicular diameters (xyz diameters) of follicles were manually measured by conventional two-dimensional(2D) ultrasound, which were used to estimate volume using the sphere formula. And the validity of each technique was compared using limits of agreement. Results One hundred and seventy-six follicles were studied. SonoAVC and VOCAL provided highly accurate and repeatable follicular volume measurements in all cases. Volumes estimated from manually derived follicular diameter measurements were less accurate and repeatable. VOCAL took more time in follicular volume of measurement than SonoAVC and conventional 2D displays. Conclusions SonoAVC provides highly accurate, repeatable,and efficient measurements of follicular volume.

The management of hospital medical periodicals is now facing many realistic problems such as management system of editorial department, ability of editorial team, quality of articles and outside living environment. Co-publishing periodicals with pharmaceutical enterprises, with foreign publications and innovating publishing model of periodicals have been adopted by some domestic hospitals. By studying cases of periodical management innovation, and summing up the latest domestic point of view on medical periodical management, this paper held the view that the hospital medical periodicals management should be grouped into the framework of hospital scientific research management. Basically, the hospital should focus on solving the problem of management system in priority;developing in a way of specialization, collectivization and brand-orientation;establishing of a high-level editorial team;strengthening international communication and publishing periodicals according to international rules.
