Objective To explore the correlation between arterial iodine fraction ( AIF) obtained with energy spectrum CT and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the Child-Turcotte-Pugh of hospitalized 80 patients diagnosed as liver cirrhosis (15 cases of Child -A,40 cases of Child -B,and 25 cases of Child-C) and CT examination results.HD750 spectral three-stage CT scanning was conducted in all patients.AIF was calculated with energy spectrum analysis software,and the correlation between AIF and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis was explored.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the iodine content of hepatic artery and portal vein among different groups(t=1.786,P>0.05).The hepatic artery iodine score pair-wise analysis among different groups showed that the differences were statistically significant(F=30.45,P<0.05). The hepatic artery iodine score was highest in Child-Pugh C group,secondary in Child-Pugh B group and lowest in Child-Pugh A group.AIF and Child-Pugh staging of liver cirrhosis was significantly correlated.Conclusion AIF of liver cirrhosis reveals the state of liver function and is correlated with Child-Pugh staging,thus can be adopted as a supplement in clinical Child-Pugh staging.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the hepatotoxicity of Halothane and altered hepatic calcium homeostasis in enzyme-induced hypoxic rats by means of Ca2+ cytochemistry location and EDX microanalysis combined with micropathological stereology of liver and ultrastructural analysis by computer. The results showed that more calcium precipitated the cytoplasm and mitochondria of liver following Halothane exposure than the controls. Based on the experiments, this alteration appeared to be contributed to the accelerated uptake of Ca2+ by the hepatocytes and lessened to pump out the decreased loaded Ca2+ on the other hand. The release of the reserved Ca2+ was increased by Halothane as compared with controls. These results suggest that a loss of regulation of cellular Ca2+ levels plays an important role in the mechanism of hepatotoxicity by Halothane exposure.

Objective To investigate the effect of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on the cardiac structure and function in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, and stem cells group, 10 rats in each group. The model group received left coronary artery ligation to induce acute myocardial infarction, and the stem cells group received myocardial injection of stem cells after coronary artery ligation. After four weeks, cardiac function and heart tissue pathological changes were observed. Results In the model group, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume and end dias-tolic volume were increased, and left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular fractional shortening rate and cardiac output were decreased as compared with the normal group and the stem cells group (P < 0. 05). The results of pathologi-cal examination showed that myocardiac fibers dissolved or even disappeared, and fibric proliferation and sear occurred in the model group; in the stem cells group, the arrangement of myocardiae fibers was in disorder and there were a few pro-liferated fibers and scar compared with the normal group. Conclusion Allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can improve the cardiac structure and function in rat model of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method for diagnosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma.Methods Urine samples from 81 patients suspected of having bladder urothelial carcinoma were collected for immediate urine cytology and FISH analysis.All patients underwent cystoscopy for identification of bladder lesions.Urine samples from 8 patients with benign disease of urinary system werealso analyzed by means of FISH and cytology.The sensitivity and specificity of FISH were compared with cytology.Results 81 subjects of bladder urothelial carcinoma were verified with pathology,which included 34 non-muscle invasive carcinoma,14 cases with muscle invasive carcinoma,42 cases with high-grade carcinoma,and 24 cases with low-grade carcinoma.Residual cases included 12 verified benign disease of urinary system,and to serve as controls with 8 patients with benign disease of urinary system.The sensitivities of FISH,cytology and cystoscopy were 72.8％,27.2％ and 97.5％.The sensitivity of FISH was superior to cytology,but inferior to cystoscopy.The specificity and diagnostic concordance rate of FISH and cytology were 85.0％,100.0％ and 75.2％,41.6％,respectively.Conclusion FISH analysis as a non-invasive method has good sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing bladder urothelial carcinoma.

Objective To formulate and detect the efficacy and safety of standardized medication strategy of epilepsy. Methods The normalized medication strategy was worked out in 278 new diagnosed patients, whose effect, retention rate and safety were evaluated after 24 months of treatment. Results Of all the 278 patients, 235 patients were taken mono-therapy while other 43 patients used therapeutic alliance.Most patients took CBZ or VPA as mono-therapy drugs. At the time after 24 months, almost 76. 3%(212/278) patients got seizure free, and the effectiveness was 22. 7% (63/278). The retention rate of those mono-therapy drugs were investigated respectively. CBZ presented 69. 8%, VPA presented 76. 2%,OXC was 68.0%, TPM was 69. 6%, LTG was 83. 3%, LEV presented 85.7%, and 100% for PHT.Conclusions All epileptic patients were well-controlled after taking standardized medication. The standardized medication strategy of epilepsy possesses valuable importance in clinical practice, which deserves further popularization.

Objective: To investigate the current situation of cyberbullying and health risk behaviors among secondary vocational school students, to explore the effects of cyberbullying on health risk behaviors, so as to provide a reference for formulating intervention strategies to promote adolescent health related behaviors. Methods: From March to April 2023, a field survey was conducted on 1 184 students from one secondary vocational school each in Jilin City and Yanji City by random cluster sampling method. The data was analyzed using Chi square tests and generalized linear models. Results: Among secondary vocational school students, 839 individuals (70.9%) experienced the cyberbullying, and 1 036 individuals (87.5%) had one and more health risk behavior group. There was a positive correlation between cyberbullying and health risk behaviors ( r=0.60, P <0.01). The generalized linear model analysis showed that female and no Internet addiction were negatively correlated with the health risk behaviors of secondary vocational students ( β =-2.75, -8.90), and the single parent families and peer pressure was positively correlated with the health behaviors of secondary vocational students ( β =2.56, 4.82)( P ＜0.05). Secondary vocational students experienced cyberbullying who from single parent families, peer pressure and social oriented internet usage were more likely to engage in health risk behaviors ( β= 3.41, 4.88, 2.20, P <0.05). Conclusions The incidence of cyberbullying and health risk behaviors among secondary vocational school students is relatively high, and cyberbullying can influence the occurrence of health risk behaviors. It is important to focus on and implement guidance for internet use and health behavior education for secondary vocational students from multiple perspectives, including the family, school, and society. Corresponding intervention strategies should be taken to promote the healthy development of adolescents.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an effective treatment for end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee. Medial tibial plateau fracture or femoral condyle fracture may occur after UKA, and its treatment is very challenging. The causes leading to this complication include: surgical technique errors, such as the weakening of posterior cortical strength of the tibial platform during operation, the reduction of bone mass due to too much tibial osteotomy, and the stress concentration in the bone bed due to bad alignment of the prosthesis, etc. Prosthesis design factors, such as press-fit fixation design of cementless UKA prosthesis, and multiple nail holes fixation for tibial osteotomy guide, etc. And the morphology of tibial plateau, such as tibial platform in Asian people with narrow and small shap and medial overhanging condyles. Correct selection of patients, strict surgical principles and standardized surgical techniques are the keys to prevent periprosthetic fractures during and after medial UKA. After the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment choice mainly depends on the fracture pattern and the stability of the prosthesis.
