Objective To discuss magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanning technology for ankle joint and its clinical value.Methods 42 cases of ankle joint trauma were examined with MRI using GPFLX coil.It was performed through sagittal T2WI,T2WI F/S,T1WI;coronal T2WI;axial T2WI.FOV was big enough for the whole trauma ankle joint.To make image clear,some soft materials should be placed between the trauma ankle joint and the GPFLX coil.The injured ankle joint was not allowed to move.The technology of No Phase Wrap is also necessary.Results The high quality rate was up to 90% for the ankle joint.Among 42 cases,6 had traumatic arthritis,14 had ankle joint contusion,9 had Achilles tendon rupture,6 had other structural injuries,4 had late degenerative change,and 3 had normal images.Conclusion MRI is a sensitive technique for injured ankle joint.It can accurately show the degree and location of ankle joint trauma.It has an important clinical significance in finding bone contusion and other structural injuries,and it is very helpful for treatment.

Objective:To investigate the influential factors on the formation of mammospheres from MCF-7,MDA-MB-231 and primary breast cancer epithelial cells,and to detect the proportion of CD44+/CD24-/low among them.Methods:MCF-7,MDA-MB-231 and primary breast cancer epithelial cells were cultured in suspension to generate primary mammospheres.After 7 days of cultivation,the proportion of cancer stem cells was measured in cells derived from mammosphere cells or monolayer culture cells by flow cytometry.Results:MCF-7 had the highest efficiency of mammosphere formation(2.1%?0.3%),while MDA-MB-231 cells hardly had any mammosphere formation,and no mammosphere formation was observed in breast cancer epithelial cells.MCF-7 tended to adhere under stem cell culture conditions without B27.Flow cytometry analysis indicated that,compared with 2.0%?0.1% for the MCF-7 monolayer culture cells,11.8%?0.3% and 8.2%?0.8% of the MCF-7 mammosphere cells from MCF-7 under different conditions were CD44+/CD24-/low(P

Objective To study the inhibit efficiency of lake sediment phosphorus release by adding chemical reagents and to provide the technical basis for the comprehensive management of city lake.Methods In May 20,2008,Mochou Lake upper sediment and water samples were collected.The phosphorus forms of sediments,total phosphorus(TP),NaOH-P,HCl-P,inorganic phosphorus(IP),organic phosphorus(OP) were analyzed and the pH value and content of TP in water samples were determined.Each water(250 ml)-sediment(10 g) system was respectively added by 0-1 000.0 mg/L of Ca(OH)2,2.0-10.0 mg/L of A12(S04)3 and 0-25.0 mg/L of FeCl3.The pH value and content of TP in water were determined,then the control rate of TP release were calculated.Results The pH values were between 7.6-8.0,TP content was 2.0 mg/L in water of Mochou Lake.The contents of TP,HCl-P,NaOH-P,IP,OP were 2 187.06,1 383.89,526.48,1 910.37 and 276.69 mg/kg respectively.With the increase of Ca(OH)2 concentration,pH value of water increased rapidly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.With the increase of A12(SO4)3 or FeCl3 concentration,pH value of water declined slightly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.Conclusion Ca(OH)2,A12(SO4)3,FeCl3 can significantly inhibit the phosphorus release of sediments in Mochou Lake.

Objective To explore the inhibition effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist monoclonal antibody cetuximab (C225) on breast cancer stem cells in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods The effects of C225 on the proliferation of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were detected by MTT assay. MCF-7 cells were cultured to generate primary mammospheres, and were divided into control group, C225 group, epidermal growth factor (EGF) group and EGF + C225 group according to whether or not the culture media contained exogenous EGF and C225.Thirteen days after culture, the volume and number of mammospheres of these four groups were observed, and mammosphere-forming efficiency ( MFE) was calculated. The percentages of CD44~+ CD24~- cells in mammospheres of these four groups and in routinely cultured MCF-7 cells were determined by flow cytometry. Results The inhibition rate on MCF-7 cells increased with the concentration of C225.Compared with control group, the volume of mammospheres in C225 group significantly decreased, and MFE and percentages of CD44~+ CD24~- cells in mammospheres significantly decreased [(0.61 ±0.04)% vs (1.44±0.09)%, P<0.01; (3.50±0.29)% vs (9.07 ±0.52) % , P<0.01]. Compared with EGF group, the volume of mammospheres in EGF + C225 group significantly decreased, and MFE and percentages of CD44~+ CD24~- cells in mammospheres significantly decreased [ (0.68 ± 0.04) % vs (1.61 ± 0.05) % , P < 0.01; (4.00 ± 0.58) % vs (10.47 ± 0.79) % , P < 0.01]. The percentage of CD44~+ CD24~- cells in routinely cultured MCF-7 cells was (2.03 ±0.15) % , and was significantly different from those in EGF group and control group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in volume of mammospheres, MFE and percentage of CD44~+ CD24~- cells in mammospheres between EGF group and control group (P >0.05). Conclusion C225 has significant inhibition effects on CD44~+ CD24~- cells in MCF cells.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and mechanism of total flavonoids from Armeniaca mume on depression in chronic stress depression model rats. METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided into normal saline group,model group,fluox-etine group(positive control,20 mg/kg)and total flavonoids from A. mume low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups(80,160, 240 mg/kg), 10 in each group. Except for normal saline group, the other groups adopted chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)+solitary feeding condition to induce depression model. These groups were intragastrically administered,once a day,for 28 d. Changes of body mass and food intake,degree of preference for sugar were observed;forced swimming test and tail suspen-sion test were used to determine the time that rats did not move;open field test was used to determine the changes of residence time in central square,horizontal crossing lattice,standing times,modification times;tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),cortisol, interleukin 6 (IL-6),serotonin (5-HT) levels in serum after 24 h of last administration were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal saline group,growth of body mass,food intake and sugar preference percentage in model group were decreased;the time that rats did not move was prolonged in forced swimming test and tail suspension test;residence time in central square was prolonged,while horizontal crossing lattice,standing times and modification times were decreased in open field test;serum levels of TNF-α,cortisol were increased,while IL-6,5-HT were decreased,with statistical significances (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Com-pared with model group,except that there were no obvious improvement in sugar preference percentage,the time that rats did not move in forced swimming test,modification times in open field test in total flavonoids from A. mume low-dose group and IL-6, 5-HT levels in serum in total flavonoids from A. mume low-dose,medium-dose groups,the above-mentioned indexes were obvious-ly improved in other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Total flavonoids from A. mume can obviously improve the CUMS-induced depression in rats,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting inflammation response,adjusting the hypothala-mus-pituitary-adrenal axis functions.
