Objective To explore the characteristics of occult damage of cerebral white matter in patients with small vessel disease by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)technology,and its relationship with cognitive impairment.Methods Twenty-eight patients with CSVD and twenty-three matched volunteers all received T1 WI,T2 WI,DTI examination and montperllier cognitive function scale (MoCA).Then compare the difference between the two groups,and analysis the correlation between ADC and FA value of each re-gion of interested and MoCA score in CSVD group.Results ①FA values on bilateral frontal white matter in CSVD group were lower than control group,and ADC values were higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05 ).There were no significant differences in FA and ADC values on corpus callosum genu and splenium between two groups (P >0.05 );②In CSVD group,the FA value of bilateral frontal lobe white matter were positively correlated with the MoCA score (P <0.05 ),and the ADC value were negatively correlated with the MoCA score (P <0.05 ).there were no significantly correlations between FA and ADC values on corpus callosum genu and splenium and MoCA score (P >0.05 ).Conclusion Bilateral frontal white matter exist fi-ber occult damage in patients with CSVD,and the change of FA and ADC value can reflect the severity of cognitive impairment on a certain degree in patients with CSVD.

Objective To explore the influence of the extract of wen-pi-tang on the memory and SOD and MDA of normal mice and cerebral ischemia reperfusion mice.Method The mice were divided into normal group,sham operation group,model group,aqueous extract and alcohol extract of wen-pi-tang (1.0 g/kg,0.5 g/kg,0.25g/kg).Model mice with cerebral ischemia reperfusion were made by blocking bilateral common carotid artery.The influence on memory behavior of normal mice and mice with cerebral ischemia reperfusion were tested by gavage for 10 days with extract of wen-pi-tang through step-down and step-through tests.Then SOD activity and content of the MDA were tested.Result In step-down test,compared with normal group,extract of wen-pi-tang with all doses made normal mice' latency longer,error frequency fewer,with high does clearest (P＜0.05)(latency:(187.17±99.00) s,(270.73±44.73) s,(260.45±63.78) s,error frequency(1.75± 1.71) times,(0.45±0.69) times,(0.75±0.97) times) ;in step-through test,compared with normal group,aqueous extract with high and middle doses and alcohol extract with longe doses could made latency of cerebral ischemia reperfusion mice longer and error frequency fewer (latency(157.15±84.91) s,(250.63±58.98) s,(251.12±78.22) s,(245±84.82) s,error frequency(2.15± 1.22) times,(0.75±0.89) times,(0.75± 1.16) times,(0.625 ±0.92) times) (P＜0.05) ; extract of wen-pi-tang with high and middle does increased SOD activity obviously compared with normal group(P＜0.05),and the content of MDA was obviously lower compared with normal group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Extracts of wen-pi-tang can improve the memory function of normal mice,and the memory of cerebral ischemia reperfusion mice.The mechanism can be related to the increase of SOD activity and the decrease of the content of MDA.

Objective]To explore the aberrant expression of SOD1 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues,as well as in NPC cell lines,then to observe the effect of SOD1 on NPC cells metastatic ability and investigate the intrinsic?mechanism.[Methods]Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine SOD1 expression in carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues(n=10). Small interfering RNAs and inhibitor LCS-1 were used to knockdown of SOD1 expression and inhibit SOD1 activity, respectively. Then,wound healing test and migration assay were applied to detect cell metastatic ability in vitro. Real-time PCR and Western Blot were used to analyze the expression of EMT-related genes(E-cadherin,Vimentin,Twist).[Results]SOD1 was found to be significantly up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues(n = 7 ,70%),compared to control. SOD1 was also highly expressed in highly metastatic potential NPC cell lines(CNE2,5-8F,S18)compared with low metastatic ability cell lines(6-10B). Knockdown SOD1 expression or inhibit SOD1 activity suppress cell motility in CNE2 and 5-8F cells. Finally,we demonstrate that SOD1 inhibition plays a role in induction of epithelial marker E-cadherin and has an opposite effect on mesenchymal marker vimen tin and transcriptional factor twist.[Conclusion]These results suggest that SOD1 contributes to EMT and might be important for tumor metastasis in NPC.

Objective To observe the post-systolic shortening (PSS) during isovolumic relaxation phase and its clinical significance in regional myocardium in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.MethodsLeft ventricular regional myocardium movement in 60 CHF patients (CHF group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were assessed with tissue velocity imaging (TVI). QLAB software was used to measure the systolic peak velocity (V_s), regional systolic time (T_s), post-systolic shortening velocity (V_(pss)) and post-systolic shortening time (T_(pss)) at the basal and middle levels of left ventricle. Results In CHF patients, the rate of isovolumic relaxation phase PSS was 34.44% both in basal and mid segments, the rate of pathological PSS was 29.44% and 29.72%, respectively. The rate of isovolumic relaxation phase PSS in control group was 26.11% and 20.56%, respectively; none pathological PPS occured. Compared with the physiological PSS of control group, the pathological PSS of CHF group had a higher peak velocity and a longer time (P<0.05). Conclusion The pathological PSS of CHF patients has high peak velocity and long duration, which may be one of the causes leading to the asynchronous movement of left ventricle in CHF.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of surgical site infection(SSI)in neurosurgical patients in a tertiary first-class hospital,and provide reference for the prevention and control of SSI.Methods 47 neurological patients with SSI (49 patients developed SSI,2 were excluded from study due to the lack of appropriate control subject)from December 31 ,2011 to December 31 ,2012 were as infected group,and 94 patients without SSI (1 ∶2 matching)were as non-infected group,risk factors for SSI were analyzed retrospectively.Results There was no significant difference in general condition of two groups of patients (all P >0.05 );among 3 708 patients,49 (1 .32%)developed SSI;intracranial infection was the main type of SSI (89.80%);27 patients were performed ce-rebrospinal fluid (CSF)bacteriological detection,6 (22.22%)of whom were positive for CSF bacteriological detec-tion.Univariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for SSI in neurosurgical patients were operational risk assessment score (OR =2.04),frequency of preoperative antimicrobial use(OR =3.15 ),fre-quency of intraoperative antimicrobial use(OR=2.58),duration of operation(OR=2.70),surgical blood loss(OR=1 .72),indwelling drainage tube(OR=4.30),duration of indwelling drainage tube after operation(OR=2.06),and time for initial dressing change(OR=1 .66);Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the in-dependent risk factors for SSI were frequency of preoperative antimicrobial use(P =0.03,OR =4.86),duration of operation(P =0.05,OR = 2.89 ),and time for initial dressing change after operation (P = 0.01 ,OR = 1 .92 ). Conclusion Risk factors for SSI in department of neurosurgery are multiple,duration of operation,duration of in-dwelling drainage tube after operation,and time for initial dressing change after operation are major risk factors.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness and cost of breast cancer screening strategy that is suitable for the current econom-ic conditions in China. Methods: We collected clinical and cost information of breast cancer screening for Chinese women based on previous screening programs conducted from February 2008 to December 2011 and collected the same information about breast can-cer cases diagnosed in hospitals at the same time. Markov models were developed to analyze the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) for 132 breast cancer screening strategies compared to no screening for Chinese women. Results: In 2010, as compared to no screening, the most cost-effective breast cancer screening strategy was biennial screening with clinical breast examination (CBE) and breast ultrasound, in parallel, for women aged between 40 to 64. This screening strategy could save 1,394 quality-adjusted life years (QALY) per 100,000 women, and the cost of saving breast-cancer related QALY would be 91,944 RMB. Sensitivity analysis indicated that in 2016, the most cost-effective breast cancer screening strategy was biennial screening with CBE and mammography (MAM), in parallel, for women aged 40 to 64, with ICER of 159,637 RMB per QALY. Conclusions: Population-based breast cancer screening would be acceptable in the current conditions in China. As the Chinese economy and level of medical care improve, breast cancer screening would be more cost-effective.
