Objective To investigate the clinical value of bone metabolism biochemical marker N-MID,TP1NP and beta-CTx combined with whole body bone scintigraphy in early diagnosis of bone metastasis of tumor.Methods The concentration of the 3 markers were measured by the electrochemical luminescence analysis method in 30 cases of healthy control group and 210 cases of patients with malignant tumor,which were divided into non bone metastasis group(45 cases) and bone metastasis group(165 cases).The bone metastasis group were divided into 4 grades(0-grade Ⅲ) by Soloway classification according to whole body bone imaging.Results The levels of serum N-MID,TP1NP and beta-CTx in 165 malignant tumor patients with bone metastasis were significantly higher than in 45 malignant tumor patients with bone metastasis and in 30 healthy control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).With the increase of the number of metastatic lesions in the bone metastasis group,the serum levels of N-MID,TP1NP,and beta-CTx were increased gradually,and they were positively correlated with the progression of the disease.According to the analysis of ROC curve,the cut-off value,sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of tumor bone metastasis were 17.59 ng/mL,70.3％,88.9％ for serum N-MID,43.04 ng/mL,78.2％,95.6％ for TP1NP,and 0.48 ng/mL,73.9％,93.3％ for beta-CTx.Under the ROC curve(AUC) was 0.831 for serum N-MID,0.890 for TP1NP,and 0.869 for beta-CTx.The sensitivity and specificity of three bone metabolic markers in the diagnosis of bone metastasis of malignant tumor were significantly higher.Conclusion Bone metabolism biochemical markers:Serum N-MID,TP1NP and beta-CTx for diagnosis of bone metastasis of malignant tumor are sensitive,accurate and simple,which can significantly improve the efficiency of diagnosis of bone metastasis,and can be combined with whole-body bone scintigraphy in early diagnosis of bone metastasis with malignant tumor.

Objective:To anslysis the hemodynamic states of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia based on computational fluid dynamics technique.Methods:The original DICOM format image data from a patient with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD), were imported by the Mimics software directly,and the 3D Objects were constructed.The simulation of model was made with Ansys software, the hemodynamic pa-rameters such as streamlines, wall shear stress( WSS) and wall pressure were described.Results:There was stable laminar flow in proximal basilar artery and was no blood flow mixed by bilateral vertebral arter-y.However, Spiral flows were appeared in distal tortuous basilar artery.The low WSS regions in the ver-tebra-basilar junction section and inferior segment of basilar artery were coincide with the high wall pres-sure regions.It could be speculated the initial growth regions might be located in the vertebra-basilar junction section and inferior segment of basilar artery.Local regions with low WSS and high wall pressure might be associated with the occurrence and development of VBD.Conclusion: CFD numerical simula-tion maybe can provide a theoretical basis for the role of hemodynamic factors in occurrence and develop-ment of VBD.

Objective:To study the morphology of middle cerebral artery ( MCA ) M1 segment .Me-thods:We selected the MRA data of 794 MCA (400 of the left side and 394 of the right side ) from Ja-nuary 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011 consecutively and analyzed the morphology of the MCA M 1 segment in axial, anteroposterior and lateral view , measured the length of the M1 segment, and analyzed the simila-rity of the left and right side M1 segment morphology .Results:In axial, anteroposterior and lateral view , the MCA M1 segment showed C-shape >L-shape >S-shape .In axial view , it was about 373 ( 47%) M1 segment performance for the C-shape, of which 340 (42.8%) M1 segments showed bowing to the dorsal side, only 33 (4.2%) M1 segments showed bowing to the ventral side .In anteroposterior view, it was about 322 (40.6%) M1 segments of the performance of the C-shape, of which 262(33.0%) M1 segments showed a bowing to the superior , 60 (7.6%) showed bowing to the inferior .The similarity of the left and right MCA M1 segments was 27.2% (114/419) in axial view and 42.7% (179/419) in anteroposterior view.It was more similar in anteroposterior view than in axial view .Along with the increase of age, in the axial view, L-shape converted to C-shape very obviously, but only mildly elevated in S-shape .In anteroposterior view , the L-shape converted to the C-shape or S-shape along with the increase of age.Conclusion:The different morphology of MCA M1 segment in axial and anteroposterior view may be involved in the development of intracranial atherosclerosis .

Objective:To evaluate the performance of Autoderm, an artificial intelligence application, in the diagnosis of skin diseases in Chinese patients.Methods:Totally, 920 patients with confirmed skin diseases were prospectively recruited in the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Every patient provided 1 clinical image, which was uploaded onto the Autoderm application for the diagnosis of skin diseases. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the Autoderm application were estimated, and the kappa values for the diagnostic agreement between the Autoderm application and dermatologists were calculated.Results:Among the 920 patients, 871 (94.7%) could be diagnosed with an Autoderm′s in-distribution skin disease, whereas 49 (5.3%) had out-of-distribution skin diseases. According to the top 1 and 3 diagnoses given by the Autoderm application for the 920 patients separately, its mean diagnostic sensitivities were 41.8% and 65.8%, mean specificities 96.8% and 91.5%, and mean accuracies 92.9% and 89.9%, respectively, and there was moderate overall agreement between the Autoderm application and dermatologists (κ = 0.420, 0.464, respectively). However, for an out-of-distribution skin disease, the Autoderm application could output 5 definitely false diagnoses.Conclusion:Autoderm may be used as as clinical decision support tool for the diagnosis of common skin diseases in most Chinese patients, with moderate diagnostic sensitivity, high specificity, and high accuracy, but misdiagnosis may occur.

Objective:To investigate the progress and prognosis of cervical high-grade squamous epithelial lesion (HSIL) in pregnancy and its effects on pregnancy outcome.Methods:Eighty-five pregnant women who were complicated by cervical HSIL and accepted prenatal care and delivered in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively recruited as case group. Another 85 pregnant women without cervical lesions were recruited as control. The progress and outcome of cervical HSIL in the case group and the association with delivery mode were analyzed. The pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups by two independent sample t-test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results:In the case group, the regression rate of cervical HSIL was 29% (25/85) with 10 cases regressing to low-grade squamous epithelial lesion or atypical squamous epithelial cells of undetermined significance and 15 to chronic cervical inflammation; the persistence rate was 64%(54/85); and the progression rate was 7%(6/85). All six progressed patients gave birth to alive babies and one case progressed to invasive cervical cancer and five to HSIL with micro-invasive cervical cancer after delivery. There was no significant difference in the progression rate [7%(4/60) vs 8%(2/25)], regression rate [32%(19/60) vs 24%(6/25)] or persistence rate [62%(37/60) vs 68%(17/25)] between vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery women ( χ2=0.509, P=0.775). The incidence of premature birth of the HSIL group was higher than that of the control group [9%(8/85) vs 1%(1/85), Fisher's exact test, P=0.017], while there were no significant differences in the incidence of other complications or adverse pregnancy outcomes such as intrauterine fetal death, preterm premature rupture of membranes, low-lying placenta, amniotic fluid contamination of Ⅱ-Ⅲ degree, placental abruption, oligohydramnios and fetal distress between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The progression rate of HSIL during pregnancy is low. Thus, a close follow-up could be conducted if invasive carcinoma is ruled out and the postpartum treatment should base on pathological results. HSIL during pregnancy could increase the risk of preterm labor, but is not an indication of cesarean section.

Objective:To explore the effect of functional electrical stimulation on cognition and on the expression of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), synaptophysin (SYN) and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) using a rat model of vascular dementia.Methods:Ninety pathogen-free male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a placebo stimulation group and an electrical stimulation group. Both the placebo and electrical stimulation groups underwent bilateral occlusion of the common carotid artery to establish a model of vascular dementia. In the sham operation group the arteries were exposed without occlusion. Each group was then sub-divided into 3, 7 and 14 days subgroups with 10 rats in each subgroup. Beginning seven days after the surgery, the rats in the electrical stimulation group were given 30-minutes of stimulation every day while those in the sham operation group and the placebo stimulation group were given false electrical stimulation. After 3, 7 or 14 days the rats′ cognitive functioning was quantified using the Morris water maze test. The rats were then sacrificed and the expression of BDNF mRNA was measured using in situ hybridization. MAP2 and SYN levels were quantified immunohistochemically.Results:After 14 days the average latency in the placebo stimulation group was significantly longer than in the other groups. On the sixth day the average time in the target zone among the placebo stimulation group was significantly shorter than the other two groups′ averages. After only 3 days of simulation, the average expression of BDNF mRNA in the CA1 area of the hippocampus was significantly lower in the placebo stimulation group than among the others. After 7 days of stimulation the placebo group′s average was significantly lower than that of the sham operation group. The average expression of MAP2 had decreased significantly in the placebo stimulation group compared with the other two groups after 7 and 14 days of simulation. After 7 days the average expression of SYN in the placebo stimulation group was significantly lower than in the sham operation group, and after 14 days it was significantly lower than in the other two groups.Conclusions:Functional electrical stimulation may improve learning and memory in rats modelling vascular dementia through increasing BDNF, SYN and MAP2 expression levels.

Objective:To observe the presence or absence of necroptosis in PC12 cells after radiation injury, and to detect the expression of receptor-interacting protein 3(RIP3) and evaluate its regulatory effect on necroptosis.Methods:PC12 cells were treated with different doses of irradiation and their necroptosis was detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release at different time points. After pretreatment with necroptosis inhibitor Necrostatin-1(Nec-1), the changes of cell necroptosis were detected by LDH. The expression level of RIP3 after irradiation intervention was detected by Western blot (WB). After pretreatment with the RIP3-specific inhibitor GSK′872, the changes of cell necroptosis were detected by LDH. The best transfection sequence of RIP3 knockout was screened by WB. The cells were divided into the control group, irradiation group, solvent control group, no-load control group and pretreatment group. WB, immunofluorescence staining, MTT, LDH and Annex V-fluorescein Isothiocyanate/Propidium Iodide (AnnexV-FITC/PI) flow cytometry were used for detection and analysis.Results:After 4 Gy irradiation, the degree of cell necrosis was the highest after 3 hours of culture, and the expression level of RIP3 protein was up-regulated. The cell necrosis was decreased after Nec-1, GSK′872 and RIP3 gene knockdown pretreatment.Conclusions:The radiation injury of 4 Gy can induce the necroptosis of PC12 cells, and the most significant effect can be observed when cultured for 3 hours after irradiation. RIP3 is involved in the process of necroptosis of PC12 cells induced by radiation injury, and plays a pivotal positive regulatory role.
