BACKGROUND:The patients with porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns who do examination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can cause artifacts. In recent years, researching for MRI artifacts of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials has been some progress, but there are less quantitatively reports on the MRI artifacts of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the artifact sizes shown on fast spin-echo T 2-weighted sequence caused by different kinds of porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
METHODS:Forty-eight lower right first molar crown patients who had MRI examination in MRI room were enrol ed. The patients were divided into nickel-chromium al oy group, cobalt-chromium al oy group and titanium crown group. Al patients were examined with fast spin-echo T 2-weighted sequences by means of 1.5 T MRI apparatus. MRI artifacts areas of same sequence on the MRI images of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials were analyzed with variance test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Forty-five cases appearing to have high signal samples with clearly curved boundary zone that can be measured were selected, 15 cases for each material. Different artifact sizes were produced on the same sequence of different porcelain-fused-to-metal materials, which were (321.67±33.29) mm in the nickel-chromium al oy group, (263.53±34.95) mm2 in the cobalt-chromium al oy group, and (143.67±31.13) mm2 in the titanium crown group. There were significant differences between groups (P<0.05). The artifact size is smal est for the titanium crown and largest for the nickel-chromium al oy crown.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of bronchial artery embolization(BAE) and pulmonary artery embolism(PAE) for massive hemoptysis.Methods 48 cases with massive hemoptysis were treated with embolization,of them,43 underwent selective bronchial arteriography and BAE with microballoon of Baiji,three cases underwent selective bronchial arteriography and treated with PAE at the same time,two cases underwent PAE.Results The abnormal features of arteriography were displayed in all hemoptysis stopped after operation 48 h later.Three cases recurred during followed up six months later,but the hemoptysis decreased.Conclusion Pulmonary arteriography and PAE therapy should be preformed when BAE fails for massive hemoptysis.

Objective To predict the target genes and function of has-miR-26b,has-miR-1972,has-miR4485,has-miR-4498,and has-miR-4743 by bioinformatics analysis,and provide the theoretical basis for the further research.Methods The targets of the five microRNAs were predicted by Target Scan,miRBD,and DIANA-microT-CDS,and the result were analyzed by gene ontology and pathway analysis using FunNet.Results 734 predicted targets were obtained by finding the intersected genes of Target Scan,miRBD,and DIANA-microT-CDS.GO analysis showed that biological processes regulated by the differentially expressed microRNAs included diverse terms,among which some terms (e.g.,central nervous system development,neuron differentiation,axonogenesis,synaptic transmission,learning,and memory,etc.) had direct relationship with the central nervous system and brain functions.The pathway analysis showed that a significant enrichment in several pathways related to neuronal brain function,such as axon guidance,glutamatergic synapse,Wnt signaling pathway,mTOR signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,etc.Among the five microRNAs,has-miR-26b,has-miR-1972,has-miR-4498 might have more important regulatory functions.Conclusion Bioinformatic analysis indicates that has-miR-26b,has-miR-1972,has-miR-4485,has-miR-4498,and has-miR-4743 are closely related to the mechanism and pathogenesis of major depressive disorder.

Objective:To investigate the effects of superagonistic CD28~- specific monoclonal antibody JJ316 (supCD28 MAb) on preferentially expanded rat CD4~+CD25~+Treg (Treg) cells in vivo and its applicability in obliterative airway disease (OAD).Methods:The heterotopic tracheal transplantation model in rats was used.One group received mIgG-treatment(0.5 mg/rat) as control.The experimental group was treated with supCD28 Mab(0.5 mg/rat) via intraperitoneal injection on the day of transplantation.The changes of Treg cell population in cervical lymph nodes were monitored by flow cytometry after 7 days.Tracheas were harvested after 21 days for further histologic evaluation.Results:SupCD28 MAb administration was revealed with a significant increase in the CD4~+CD25~+ T and CD4~+Foxp3~+ T cells population in cervical lymph nodes compared to treatment with mIgG group on day 7 after transplantation,[8.5%±3.4% and 11.5%±2.7% (P<0.05 vs mIgG group)in the supCD28 Mab group,1.8%±1.9% and 3.2%±2.1% in the mIgG group,respectively].Furthermore,the allografts from animals treated with supCD28 MAb were significantly less airway obliteration and destruction of the epithelium compared with that of control group animals on day 21 after transplantation.Conclusion:SupCD28 MAb targets expansion of Treg cells and attenuates airway lumen obliteration in rat obliterative airway disease.

Objective: To estimate the blood concentration of isoflurane with the inspired andexpired concentrations during laparoscopic surgery. Methods: 2 sections were divided in this experiment: section 1:23 adult patients (ASA I～II)were received abdominal surgeries,of whom,12 patients for non-laparoscopic surgeries and the others for laparoscopic surgeries. Central venous blood samples were collected for gas chromatography determination 20, 40, 60, 80 min after inhalating isoflurane . We could receive two different F value (the fraction of uptake of isoflurane)through the formula. Section 2: 27 patients were recruited for abdominal surgeries, 13 for laparoscopic surgeries and the others for non-laparoscopic surgeries. All of the processes were the same as the former. Then we confirm the results obtained from section1. Results: The F was 0.52 in the laparoscopic surgeries and 0.44 in the nonlaparoscopic surgeries. In the laparoscopic surgeries, the bias (MDPE) was 17% , accuracy (MDAPE)was 22.88% and the wobble was 11.7% .The correlation coefficient (r)was 0.83. In the nonlaparoscopic surgeries, the MDPE was 5.37% , the MDAPE was 16.02% , the wobble was 15.86% .The correlation coefficient was 0.90. Conclusion: The formula could be used in abdominal surgeries to evaluate the concentration of isoflurane according to the clinical standard of MDPE

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of microRNA (miRNA) in peripheral venous blood for depressive disorder.Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to verify expression level of miRNAs in peripheral blood of non-specific mental retardation children,which were aberrantly expressed in depressive disorder patients,and then Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)curve was employed to confirm the sensitivity and specificity of abnormal miRNA expression in depressive disorder and non-specific mental retardation.Results MiR-1972,miR-26b,miR-4485,miR-4498 and miR-4743 were upregulated significantly in case group of depressive disorder(P＜0.05),meanwhile miR-4485 and miR-4743 in aforementioned 5 miRNAs also upregulated significandy in patients of non-specific mental retardation(P＜0.05),but miR-26b showed no significant difference between case group of non-specific mental retardation and the control group (P＞0.05).The ROC curve of miR-26b in depressive disorder patients and their control group showed that the sensitivity and specificity were 0.609,0.664 respectively,and the area square under the curve was 0.614(P=0.021).The ROC curve of miR-26b in patients of depressive disorder and non-specific mental retardation indicated that the sensitivity and specificity were 0.784 and 0.471,and area square under the curve was 0.643 (P=0.003).Conclusion miR-26b probably have diagnostic value for depressive disorder,which may comorbidity with non-specific mental retardation.But genetic and psychosocial mechanism of comorbidity still needs further exploration.

Objective:To obtain the normal reference range of ultrasound hemodynamic parameters after liver transplantation through big data query and statistical analysis, and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The clinical liver transplantation Ultrasound Image Database Software V1.0 developed by Tianjin First Center Hospital was used to query adult patients after liver transplantation from December 2012 to June 2021. The ultrasonic hemodynamic parameters including the diameter of portal vein (PVD), the flow velocity of portal vein (PVV), the peak flow velocity of hepatic artery (S), the end diastolic flow velocity of hepatic artery (D), the S/D of hepatic artery, the resistance index of hepatic artery (RI), the diameter of middle hepatic vein (MHVD), the flow velocity of middle hepatic vein (MHVV), the diameter of right hepatic vein (RHVD), the flow velocity of right hepatic vein (RHVV), in the first day (1D), the seventh day (7D), the first month (1M), the sixth month (6M), the first year (1Y), the fifth year (5Y) and the tenth year (10Y) after operation were analyzed statistically, and the 95% reference value range of each parameter was obtained.Results:A total of 1 740 patients with 12 242 monitoring results after adult liver transplantation were included, and the longest follow-up time was 22 years. There was no significant change in PVD. PVV decreased slightly from postoperative 1D to long-term follow-up. The S and D of hepatic artery were the highest in group 7D after liver transplantation, and then decreased gradually with the extension of postoperative time. Hepatic artery S/D was the lowest in group 7D after operation, with the extension of monitoring time after liver transplantation, it showed an upward trend, but fluctuated. Hepatic artery RI was the highest in postoperative 1D group, and fluctuated with the extension of monitoring time after liver transplantation. There was no significant change in MHVD and RHVD.MHVV and RHVV were the highest in group 7D after liver transplantation, with the extension of postoperative monitoring time, they showed a decreasing trend and fluctuated. The normal range of each parameter was estimated according to the range of 95% medical reference value. The influencing factors of blood flow monitoring of transplanted liver were analyzed, including the various factors in perioperative period, the surgery, the primary disease before operation, the source of donor, the postoperative infection, rejection, drug damage, individual differences and so on.Conclusions:This study obtains the trend of each parameter with the extension of follow-up time and the reference value range of each parameter after liver transplantation, which is of great clinical significance for early detection and diagnosis of postoperative vascular complications. However, the blood flow after adult liver transplantation is affected by many factors. In clinical monitoring, it is necessary to make judgment combined with the individual state of patients and conduct dynamic follow-up.
