Radiation brain injury in the temporal lobe is the most common and severe neurological complication after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Early detection and treatment are the key to control the progress of radiation brain injury. However, when abnormal changes were found in conventional MRI, brain injury had developed to irreversible middle and late stage frequently. Functional MRI, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-tensor imaging, and diffusion-kurtosis imaging, can quantitatively reflect the microstructure changes of tissues through many parameters. Some of the parameters could be considered as image markers for diagnosis of radiation brain injury in the early stage. Research advances of functional MRI in early brain injury after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma were reviewed in this article.

Cobb syndrome, or cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis, is a clinically rare manifestation of angiomatosis or arteriovenous malformations of the skin, spine, spinal cord, and viscera in the same spinal segment. A 48 years old female patient with Cobb syndrome treated ecently is reported as follow. The patient was admitted to hospital due to lower limbs weakness for three days. Left lumbar and abdominal pain occurred before onset without obvious causes, and then lower limbs weakness occurred. In this case, clinical manifestations were acute onset and development rapidly. Imaging showsed myeleterosis from C 1 to T 11, consistent with vertebral segments of hemangiomas in the left parotid gland, the left axillary, the left subclavian, the right femoribus internus, and the right lobe of the liver, etc. Her symptoms and imaging manifestations all meet the diagnostic criteria of Cobb syndrome. Cobb syndrome is easy to be missed diagnosis and misdiagnozed clinically with poor prognosis. This paper discussed and analyzed the rare case in combination with relevant literature, in order to improve clinicians′ understanding of Cobb syndrome, so as to achieve early diagnosis and treatment, thus to reduce permanent neurological complications.

Objective To discuss and observe the clinical effect of intervertebral pedicle internal fixation and debride?ment combined with bone graft through posterior approach/trans-intervertebral space approach on the treatment of uni/multi-segmental lumbosacral vertebral tuberculosis (TB). Methods A cohort of 37 patients, with single or multiple segmental ver?tebral destruction due to TB, were treated by trans-intervertebral debridement, posterior pedicle screw system internal fixa?tion and intervertebral bone graft. All patients underwent X-ray,CT and MRI examination to observe the combination treat?ment effect. Results Most patients (n=34) enjoyed primary healing, in which include only 4 cases that presented symptom of nerve root stretch injury during operation but all recovered after 3 months. Other 3 patients underwent secondary healing due to sinus but two were rectifying with anti-TB therapy and wound dressing. The other 1 case suffered from sinus tract was healed through second debridement and rectifying therapy. X-ray, CT and MR at 6 months after operation indicated that all patients present great graft osseous fusion, good recovering of height of vertebral body without kyphosis deformity nor internal fixation loosening nor screw breakage. Conclusion Intervertebral pedicle internal fixation and debridement combined with bone graft through posterior approach/trans-intervertebral space approach is with minimum invasion but good graft fusion ef?fects, harder fixation and satisfactory clinical effects in the treatment of uni/multi-segmental lumbosacral vertebral tuberculosis.

Objective This paper was performed to investigate the effectiveness of problem-based learning in naval hygiene teaching. Methods Totally 257 clinical medicine undergraduates and general practice undergraduates from Grade 2010 and 2009, Faculty of Naval Medicine, Second Military Medical University attended naval hygiene teaching. PBL and LBL approaches were applied in PBL group (Grade 2010, n=117) and LBL group (Grade 2009, n=140), respectively. The learning outcomes were evaluated by three tests covering PBL evaluation (or usually performance), theoretical examination and experimental practice . Questionnaire was used to investigate the recognition of PBL teaching method and new evaluation system. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16.0 and t test was used to compare the average scores of theory,α=0.05. Results The results showed that the average theory scores of Grade 2010 (78.51±7.57 and 71.68±5.74) were higher than those of Grade 2009 (65.36±6.41 and 59.97±7.08) (P=0.000, P=0.000). The questionnaire surveys indicated that more than 85% students in PBL group considered the PBL teaching method could enhance professional and comprehensive quali-ties, and that 84%students were satisfied with new evaluation system. Conclusions PBL showed better learning results than traditional methods in naval hygiene teaching and could better promoted students' comprehensive ability.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the CD+4 CDHigh25 regulatory T cells and cytokine IL-10 and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods Flow cytometric was used to detect the percentage of CD+4 CDHigh25Foxp3High Treg cell and CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127 Treg cell in CD+4 T cells and at the same time ELISA was used to test the serum IL-10 levels in corresponding period. Results 13 patients have received hematopoietic function reconstruction. aGVHD group of CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127/CD+4 and CD+4 CDHigh25 Foxp3High/CD+4 ratio were significantly lower than non-aGVHD group, the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.01); Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD subgroup was lower than Ⅰ - Ⅱ degree of aGVHD subgroup, but no statistical significance(P ＞0.05); the same as between-group CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127/CD+4 and the CD+4 CDHigh25 Foxp3High/CD+4 has no significant difference;aGVHD group of IL-10 concentration was significantly lower than non-GVHD group, the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.01). Treg cell and IL-10 changes in correlation, r = 0.557, P ＜0.05. Conclusion The level of Treg cell was closely related to the occurrence of aGVHD after allo-HSCT. So it is very important to monitor the Treg cell level for clinical early diagnosis of aGVHD and predict prognosis of aGVHD and guide the application of immunosuppressant. CD127 can serve as a Treg cell surface-specific marker, to promote the detection of Treg cell and purification. IL-10 was an important negative regulator. Treg cell and IL-10expression in patients with aGVHD was correlation, which may provide some basis for Treg cell immunosuppressive mechanism.

BACKGROUND:Polylactic acid-glycolic acid polymer is a sustained-release material with relatively large drug loading and long-term release abilities that can degrade with cel growth in the body. However, its poor hydrophily easily leads to aseptic inflammation that is detrimental to the body’s recovery. OBJECTIVE:To study the release and distribution of anti-tuberculosis drug delivery materials local y oriented within the rabbit radius. METHODS:After modeling, 20 New Zealand white rabbits with distal radius bone defect were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, which were respectively given implantation of isoniazid-rifampicin polylactic acid-glycolic acid polymer/β-tricalcium phosphate material and isoniazid-rifampicin polylactic acid-glycolic acid polymer into the defect. Then, X-ray examination of the defect region was conducted at weeks 4, 8, 12 post implantation. Histological observation and detection of peripheral blood or local blood concentration were performed at week 12. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After implantation, Lane-Sandhu X-ray scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05). The defect in the experimental group was healed completely with less release residual among newborn bone trabeculae and osteocytes were markedly visible on the material surface, while in the control group, new bone tissues were interconnected with the surrounding bone tissues at the defect site, and less release residual was found. Both peripheral blood and local blood concentrations in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group after implantation (P<0.05). To conclude, the anti-tuberculosis drug delivery material, isoniazid-rifampicin polylactic acid-glycolic acid polymer/β-tricalcium phosphate, has ideal release effect that can stably deliver anti-tuberculosis drugs for a long term at a high bactericidal concentration.

Wound healing is a complex regeneration process, which is affected by lots of endogenous and exogenous factors. Researches have confirmed that acid environment could prevent wound infection and accelerate wound healing by inhibiting bacteria proliferation, promoting oxygen release, affecting keratinocyte proliferation and migration, etc. In this article, we review the literature to identify the potential relationship between the pH value of wound micro-environment and the progress of wound healing, and summarize the clinical application of variation of pH value of micro-environment in wound healing, thereby to provide new treatment strategy for wound healing.
