Objective To discuss the clinical features diagnosis and treatment of cerebral schistosomiasis. Methods A to?tal of 166 patients with cerebral schistosomiasis were treated and their clinical data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results In 166 cases of cerebral schistosomiasis the confirmative diagnoses of 156 cases were diagnosed according to the clin?ical manifestation etiology immunology and auxiliary examination CT MRI .In among 74 cases were confirmed by pathologi?cal examination 10 cases were diagnosed through to the diagnostic treatment. Totally 102 patients received the oral medication of praziquantel and they all improved and discharged 14?16 days later 64 patients received the craniotomy and praziquantel medication after the operation and 48 patients significantly improved others did not improve or aggravated. There was no opera?tive mortality. Conclusions Neuroimaging and laboratory tests are valuable in the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis. The praziquantel treatment is selected firstly when the diagnosis was established. However in the case of serious intracranial hyper?tension intractable epilepsy and praziquantel treatment fails the surgical treatment is required.

The up-regulation mechanism of membrane type I matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in macrophages stimulated by silica in vitro and the contribution of early growth response 1 (Egr-1) transcription factor in the gene expression pathway were investigated. Macrophages stimulated by silica were treated with Egr-1 antibody or Egr-1 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN). The levels of MT1-MMP proteins were determined by Western blot and the expression of MT1-MMP mRNAs was detected by RT-PCR. The results showed as compared with control macrophages, silica-stimulated group showed up-regulated gene expression of MT1-MMP via Egr-1 (P<0.01). Compared with silica-stimulated macrophages untreated with antibody, the cells treated with 5 microg/mL Egr-1 antibody were associated with reduced expression of MT1-MMP protein (P<0.01) and mRNA (P<0.01). Compared with silica-stimulated untransfected group, the Egr-1 "decoy" ODN group was associated with reduction in the expression of MT1-MMP protein and mRNA (P<0.01). It was concluded gene expression of MT1-MMP which may play a critical role in silicosis was up-regulated by silica in macrophages. Egr-1 participated in the expression of MT1-MMP and positively regulated the expression. Both Egr-1 antibody and Egr-1 decoy ODN suppressed the expression of MT1-MMP through the Egr-1 pathway and may become a potential therapeutic tool in the management of silicosis in the future.

Objective To study the clinical manifestat ions, MR diagnosis and differential diagnosis of sacral meningeal cyst.Methods 25 patients with sacral meningeal cyst proved by operation and pathology, 9 cases of male, 16 cases of female; the age ranged fro m 18 to 56 years old, average age is 40.3. All cases were performed on MR examin ation. Results The shape of cysts in 19 cases were elliptic,long marsupial shape in 3 cases,irregular in 1 case,string shap in 2 cases.The edge of cysts is clear and the wall of cysts is very thin.MR signal in tensity of fl uid in sacral meningeal cysts exhibits similarity to cerebrospinal fluid,which s hows uniform low signal in T 1WI and high signal in T 2WI.There are 8 cases sc an whose MR signal of cysts fluid is much higher than that of cerebrospinal flui d in T 2WI. In 7 cases thin strip nerve root can be found through the cysts in T 1WI and T 2WI. The antrast enhancement was made in 8 cases and there were no any enhancement both in content and wall of cyst.Conclusion MRI is one of the best examing methods for dia gnosiing of sacral meningeal cyst. Correct mastery of MR manifestations can not only help to give right dignosis, but also provide guidance for choices of clini cal treatment.

The degQ gene, amplified from Bacillus subtilis by PCR, was cloned to pUBS (sucrose induced secretion vector). After transformed into DB403, recombination named DB403(pUBSD) was formed. The results of the fermentation showed that degQ gene enhanced the expression of B. subtilis fibrin enzyme. The activity of the enzyme was increased to 2.2 times as the original one. In this article, the effects of different conditions, such as different kinds of sugar, different concentration of sucrose and different induced time were also be investigated and compared.

OBJECTIVETo study which classification model was most suitable for establishing a multi-tumor markers lung cancer prediction model, through established logistic regression model, decision trees model and artificial neural network model.

METHODSRIA analysis, ELISA, spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and atomic absorption spectrometry were used to measure the serum CEA, CA125, gastrin, NSE, beta2-MG, Sil-6 receptors, sialic acid, nitric oxide, Cu, Zn, Ca and the pseudo-urine nucleoside of urine samples in lung cancer patients, benign lung disease patients and healthy controls. The lung cancer diagnosis models were established by logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network training.

RESULTSThe diagnosis sensitivities of the logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network model with 12 tumor markers in lung cancer were 94.00%, 100.00% and 100.00%; the specificity were 100.00%, 98.89% and 100.00%; the total accurate 94.29%, 95.00% and 90.00%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe results of three classification models with 12 tumor markers in diagnosis of lung cancer are ideal. Especially the C5.0 decision tree model and the artificial neural network model are more suitable for the prediction and diagnosis of the lung cancer.

Objective To explore the effects of forepaw sensorimotor deprivation in early life on hippocampus-dependent spatial reference learning and memory in rats. Methods Newborn SD rats were randomly assigned to experiment group (deprivation of forepaw sensorimotor function, n=53) and control group(n=55). Rats of postnatal day 13 (PN13) in experiment group were seleeted, and models of forepaw sensorimotor deprivation were established by microsurgical technique. Open field tests and Morris water maze tests were performed during the time periods of PN25(PN21-31), PN35 (PN31-39), PN45(PN41-50) and PN60(PN56-64) to evaluate the locomotor activity and spatial reference learning and memory, respectively. Results In open field tests, there was no significant difference in parameters of locomotor activity and exploratory behavior between the two groups (P>0.05). In Morris water maze tests, eontrol group performed significantly better than experiment group during training sessions and probe tests on PN25 and PN35 (P<0.05). While on PN45, although there was no significant difference between the two groups during training sessions, control group performed significantly better than experiment group during probe tests (P<0.05). Conclusion The deprivation of forepaw sensorimotor in early life has no signifieant effect on the locomotor activity and exploratory behavior of rats, but can impair the spatial reference learning and memory.
