Objective To explore the feasibility of dual-source CT virtual scan replace conventional scan in the CT peritoneography. Methods Prospective enrolled 29 cases who accepted peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment and were highly suspected with PD-related complications. The patients were firstly underwent CT conventional in the fasting state by applied the dual-source CT (single energy pattern), and then 2 L dialysate which mixed with contrast medium was infused into peritoneal cavity, and the CT scan was performed again after 30 min (dual-energy pattern). Scaning data were processed by virtual post-processing software to obtain virtual CT scan imaging. Subjective evaluation (including lesions and image quality score) and objective evaluation (including the CT value, noise and signal to noise ratio) were performed on the conventional scan and virtual scan, and recorded the radiation dose. Wilcoxon test was used to analyse the differences of lesions revealing and image quality score of conventional scan imaging and virtual scan imaging, and paired t test was applied to compare the differences of radiation dose and the other quality objective evaluation index. Results There was no significant difference between conventional CT scan and virtual CT scan in the cyst, calcification, calculus, hematoma and catheterization (P>0.05). The image quality score of conventional CT scan and virtual CT scan was 5.0±0.0 and 4.9±0.4, and there was no significant difference (Z=-1.6,P=0.10). There was no statistically significant difference in CT value of muscle, kidney, subcutaneous fat, urine in bladder and intraperitoneal fluid between the two groups (P>0.05), and the CT value of liver in the virtual CT scan was higher than that in the conventional CT scan (P<0.05), but the value of bone in the virtual CT scan was lower than that in the conventional CT (P<0.05). The noise of conventional CT was significant higher than that of invirtual CT, but the SNR was significant lower than virtual CT scan (P<0.05). The effective radiation dose in the conventional CT scan and virtual CT scan were(9.6±1.4)and(15.9±4.9)mSv, and showed significant difference. Furthermore, the effective radiation dose decreased by 39.6%(6.3/15.9). Conclusion Dual-energy CT scan can replace conventional CT scan in the CT peritoneography, which can guarantee the accuracy of diagnosis and reduce radiation dose.

AIM: To study the effects of astragalosides (AS) on the proliferation and cell cycle of rat glomerular mesangial cell (MC), and verify the correlation between the influence and the AS concentration. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Physiological Laboratory of Liaoning Medical University from December 2006 to July 2007. Rat glomerular MCs were cultured in high glucose for 4-7 passages. The experiments were randomly divided into control group and three AS groups with different concentrations (50, 100, 200 mg/L), which were treated with high-glucose liquid and AS respectively. MC proliferation was determined with MTT colorimetric method in each group at hours 48 after intervention. MC cell cycle was detected with flow cytometry. RESULTS: ①MTT results showed that, the values of A490 nm in AS groups were lower than that in the control group at hours 48 (P

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus moxibustion in treating infantile cerebral palsy. Method Eighty eligible patients with infantile cerebral palsy were randomized into a treatment group of 42 cases and a control group of 38 cases. The control group was intervened by physiotherapy (PT), while the treatment group was given electroacupuncture at scalp acupoints, body acupuncture, and moxibustion along the Governor Vessel in addition to the treatment given to the control group. The two groups were treated once a day, 6 months in total. The comprehensive ability and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) were evaluated before and after the interventions in the two groups, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result After 6-month treatment, the total effective rate was 92.9% in the treatment group versus 78.9% in the control group, and the total effective rate of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group (P<0.05). The motor function and activities of daily living were significantly improved in both groups after the interventions (P<0.05,P<0.01); after the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the motor function and activities of daily living between the two groups (P<0.05). The GMFM scores of each domain were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05); after the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the GMFM scores of each domain between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with being used alone, conventional PT can more significantly benefit the improvement of motor function of cerebral palsy patients when electroacupuncture and moxibustion were added.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus medication and kinesiotherapy in treating cerebral stroke.Method A total of 126 patients with cerebral stroke were randomized into a treatment group of 42 cases, control group 1 of 40 cases and control group 2 of 44 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture, Chinese medication plus kinesiotherapy, control group 1 by acupuncture alone and control group 2 by kinesiotherapy alone. Before the intervention and respectively after 2-week and 4-week treatment, the three groups were observed by adopting the modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), as well as the Activities of Daily Living (ADL).Result After the treatment, the MBI score, FMA score and ADL grading were significantly changed in the three groups (P<0.01). After 4-week treatment, the MBI score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 2 (P<0.05). After 4-week treatment, the FMA score and ADL grading in the treatment group were significantly different from those in both control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus medication and kinesiotherapy is an effective approach in treating cerebral stroke and it can improve the ADL.

Objective:To analyze the genetic test results and ultrasonographic markers of 41 fetuses with short femurs and their relationship.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 41 fetuses who were diagnosed with short femurs by ultrasound during 19-37 gestational weeks and underwent prenatal genetic examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2019. According to the results of genetic examination, these cases were divided into three groups after excluding three cases of variants of unknown significance: genetically normal group, chromosome variation (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) group, and gene mutation (including pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene mutations) group. According to the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL), Z FL, FL/HC, FL/AC, ΔZ H-F and ΔZ H+A-2F for each fetus were calculated. One-way ANOVA and LSD- t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Among the 41 fetuses with short femurs, there were 28 in the genetically normal group, five in the chromosome variation group, three with chromosome variations of unknown significance and five in the gene mutation group. (2) In the genetically normal, chromosome variation and gene mutation groups, Z FL values were -2.78±0.77, -4.36±0.69 and -4.69±0.70; FL/HC ratios were 0.178±0.011, 0.170±0.010 and 0.131±0.022; FL/AC ratios were 0.197±0.013, 0.186±0.011 and 0.151±0.017; ΔZ H-F values were 2.49±1.09, 3.53±1.28 and 8.17±1.30; ΔZ H+A-2F values were 4.44±2.00, 6.78±2.20 and 14.28±1.26, respectively. The differences in Z FL values between the genetically normal group and the chromosome variation group as well as the gene mutation group were statistically significant (both P<0.05); so were the differences in FL/HC, FL/AC and ΔZ H-F values between the gene mutation group and the genetically normal group as well as the chromosome variation group (all P<0.05) and in any pairwise comparison of ΔZ H+A-2F among the three groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The genetic etiology of fetal short femurs is mainly related to chromosomal variations (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) and gene mutation. In fetuses with chromosome variation and gene mutation, the degree of the femoral development delay relative to the development of HC and AC is worse than that in the normal genetic results group.
