Objective To investigate the mechanism of anti-breast cancer cell proliferation induced by doxorubicin (DOX).Methods AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) activator AICAR,AMPK siRNA,AMPK inhibitor compound C(AMPKi) and doxorubicin treated MCF-7 cells at different time points; AMPK,acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC),p38 activation were detected by Western blot.MTT was used as cell viability assay. Results Doxorubicin-induced activation of AMPK, AMPK agonist (AICAR)or in combination with doxorubicin activated AMPK and increased MCF-7 cell proliferation rate [the difference of cell viability between group AICAR+DOX(17.7±1.6 ) ％ and group DOX(71.4±1.8 ) ％ was significant(P＜0.001)].After AMPKi or AMPK siRNA and doxorubicin combined administration, P-AMPK and P-ACC expression was significantly decreased,the level of p38 was not affected,and MCF-7 cell proliferation inhibition rate decreased [the cell viability of group AMPKi+DOX(72.7±1.8 ) ％ vs group DOX(96.3±1.7 ) ％,P＜0.001 ;group AMPK siRNA +DOX( 76.9±2.2 ) ％ vs group scramble siRNA+DOX(95.9±1.8) ％,P＜0.001].Conclusion AMPK is involved in doxorubicin-induced anti-breast cancer cell proliferation.

Objective To establish a novel Monte Carlo simulation method for reconstruction of medical accelerator model and X?ray energy spectrum based on IAEA Varian 6 MV X?ray phase?space file and photon energy spectrum of the target accelerator. Methods The verified 6 MV X?ray phase?space files were preprocessed to elevate the energy of each particle. Particles were saved in different Phase?Space?Let ( PSL) files according to their position and energy, yielding an initial photon energy spectrum for Monte Carlo simulation of accelerator under an initial target energy. The initial photon energy spectrum was fit to a photon energy spectrum of an accelerator ( Elekta Precise 10 MV X?ray accelerator) under an unknown target energy to yield a fitting coefficient, which was the weight of each PSL. Finally, an accelerator model under an unknown target energy was reconstructed using the initial PSL files and the weight information. The percentage depth dose ( PDD) distribution was calculated in different square open fields. The effectiveness of this method was verified using one dimensional gamma passing rate. Results The peak position and overall distribution of the reconstructed 10 MV photon energy spectrum were in accordance with those of the verified 10 MV photon energy spectrum. The PDD calculated from the reconstructed 10 MV accelerator model agreed well with the measured PDD. The one?dimensional gamma passing rate was above 96%( 1%/1 mm, threshold=0%) . Conclusion The Monte Carlo reconstruction method proposed in this study is reliable, accurate, and effective.

Objective To evaluate MR and CT imagings of desmoplastic fibroblastoma(DF) and aggressive fibromatosis(AF) in neck and shoulder girdle, and to emphasis upon the MRI findings with pathological correlation. Methods MR and CT appearances of DFs(4 cases) and AFS(3 cases) confirmed by surgical and pathologic findings were retrospective analysed, which were correlated to the pathologic features. Four cases of DF were male patients, with a median age at 48 years. Two cases of AF were female (20,29 years respectively), and another AF patient was male (79 years). Results (1) Four DFs were round mass located in the intermuscle space of neck, and the margins were mostly well-circumscribed. Envelope was seen in one lesion on MRI. On unenhanced CT, the masses showed homogeneous low attenuation (2 cases) or slightly low attenuation with several heterogeneous areas in it (1 cases). Enhancement was not obvious on post-contrast CT images. MRI studies were done in two patients. Signal intensity (SI) on MR was homogeneous and heterogeneous one lesion respectively on unenhanced T_1-weighted images. Mixed SI as low or high SI nodes within isointense compared with muscle on T_2-weighted images. No evident enhancing was noted after administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine. (2) All three lesions of aggressive fibromatosis arose from musculoaponeurotic structures. The masses were irregular margin and appeared elongated, which oriented in the direction of the muscle bundle. On unenhanced CT examination, the masses had poorly defined and isodense relative to adjacent musculature (2 cases). On T_1-weighted images, three masses consisted of poor margination and isointensity relative to adjacent muscle. On T_2-weighted images, two lesions were heterogeneity of signal, which predominantly slightly high in SI with strip- or node-shape low SI, and one lesion had homogeneous high SI. On post-contrast T_1-weighted images, all lesions showed marked enhancement, heterogeneity of signal and irregular margin appeared distinctly. Of them, two masses had claw-shape invasive margin. Conclusion Both DF and AF, the age range of affected persons different, were fibroblastic origin soft-tissue neoplasms. The distinct imaging characteristics of these two disorders were related to their different [JP3]pathologic features. Concerning the effect of diagnose and differential diagnose, MRI was predominance over CT. [JP]

Objective To explore the multi-modal MRI characteristics of breast cancers in dense breasts.Methods 120 patients with breast cancer shown on mammography underwent breast MRI,which were solitary and confirmed by pathological examination. According to the BI-RADS classification of breast,the 120 cases were divided into two groups including dense type breast and non-dense type one.The differences in morphological features,ADC values (b=1 000 s/mm2 )and time-signal intensity curve (TIC)of the lesions between two groups were analyzed and compared.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS1 6.0.Results The breast cancers in dense breast were vulnerable to have a spiculated margin (44/68 in the dense breast group vs.1 6/52 in the non-dense breast group,P =0.000).The size of the lesion in dense breast (1.83 ±0.98)cm was bigger than that in non-dense breast (1.40±0.46)cm (P =0.005).The non-mass-like enhancement of the lesion in dense breast was much more than that in non-dense breast (P =0.000).In addition,the average ADC values of the lesion in dense breast (0.89±0.12)×10 -3 mm2/s were lower than in non-dense breast (0.95±0.10)×10 -3 mm2/s(P =0.01 6).Conclusion The breast cancer in the dense breast has different MRI findings in comparison with non-dense breast.

BACKGROUND:Dorsal digital block refers to the commonly used anesthesia for adults in smal or moderate hand injury surgeries, but in recent years, modified transthecal digital block technique is gradualy respected, which is favored with a rapid and good effect and fewer complications.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical anesthetic outcomes of modified transthecal digital block and traditional dorsal digital block technique for the treatment of hand injury of adults in emergency by a prospective randomized controled study.
METHODS:Totaly 60 adult patients with hand injury were enroled and divided into two groups of modified transthecal digital block and traditional dorsal digital block randomly. Blocks were performed by one single surgeon. The operation time, local anesthetic dose, onset time of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, success rate of anesthesia, visual analogue scale scores and complications were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anesthesia effects in the two groups were acceptable. There was no significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia, success rate of anesthesia and complications between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time of anesthesia, local anesthetic dose, and visual analogue scale scores were significantly different between the two groups (P< 0.05). Modified transthecal digital block is more convenient and has less pain than the traditional root digital block, which is a safe and reliable anesthetic technique.

Objective To investigate the effects of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)transplantation on the neurological function recovery of injured spinal cord and the underlying mechanism.Methods Rats were subjected to contusive spinal cord injury by using NYU spinal cord contusive impactor system ( NYC lmpactor).Seven days after spinal cord injury,the transplantation of BMSCs ( BMSCs group) or injection of PBS ( PBS group) was performed around the epicenter of injured spinal cord in rats.Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score was used to evaluate the function of spinal cord.The cavity volume of the injured spinal cord was measured and the axons in the injury center of spinal cord were examined under transmission electron microscopy.The BMSCs of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)transgenic rats were used to trace the transplanted cells and the survivor of BMSCs in the injured spinal cord and their differentiation into neural cells were observed.A mini-channel implantation model was employed to further investigate the role of BMSCs transplantation on the axonal regeneration.Results The BMSCs group showed a higher BBB score and a smaller lesion volume as compared with the PBS group.Transmission electron microscopy examination displayed that the number of axons in the BMSCs group was far more than that in the PBS group.A great number of BMSCs-GFP were founded around the center of the injured spinal cord at 4 weeks after BMSCs transplantation.lmmunohistochemistry showed that the implanted BMSCs-GFP did not express the surface marker of neurons,astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.In the mini-channel implantation model,NF-positive nerve fibers grew into the BMSCs-seeded channel,while there were no nerve fibers in the channel without seeding of BMSCs.Conclusions The BMSCs transplantation for the injured spinal cord promotes its functional recovery,and the related mechanism is in correlation with BMSCs transplantation inducing axonal regeneration.

Methods Seventy-five parturient primiparas who had no complication were randomly divided into three groups: group Ⅰ: ambulatory labor analgesia was begun to use when the cervix was 1.0 cm dilated, group Ⅱ: ambulatory labor analgesia was begun to use when the cervix was 2-3 cm dilated, group Ⅲ: control group without use of ambulatory labor analgesia. Analgesic effects were observed, changes of uterine contraction were recorded by fetal monitor. Meanwhile, total stage of labor ,outcome of delivery and Apgar score were recorded. Results Duration of total stage of labor had no significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ.The duration of the first labor stage was significantly longer in group Ⅰ than that in group Ⅱ(P

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic values of the breast imaging reporting and data system-MRI (BI-RADS-MRI)description about non-masslike enhancement by data mining. Methods Fifty-five patients with non-masslike enhancement lesions showed on breast contrast-enhanced MRI were evaluated using two data mining algorithms (Logistic regression and decision tree) and 10-fold cross-validation methods. Results There were 28 malignant and 27 benign lesions. The most frequent findings of the malignant lesions were clustered ring enhancement and clumped enhancement [ 12 and 4 lesions, respectively; 84. 2% (16/19) in decision trees, partial regression coefficients in Logistic model were 2. 128 and 1.723, respectively], whereas homogenous, stippled, reticular internal and linear ductal enhancement were the most frequent findings in benign lesions [ 4、9、1 and 7 lesions, respectively; 72. 4% (21/29) in decision tree, partial regression coefficients in Logistic model were 0.357 (homogenous), 1. 861 (stippled) and 18. 870( reticular), respectively]. 10-fold cross-validation indicated that decision tree (C5.0) achieved an accuracy of 69.3% with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 71.7% in comparison to the Logistic regression model with an accuracy of 57. 0%, a sensitivity of 43.3% and a specificity of 71.7%. Conclusions The diagnosis efficacy of non-masslike enhancement interpretation according to BI-RADS-MRI is not high. It is very important to find more potential features of non-masslike enhancement to improve the diagnosis accuracy.
