Objective To explore the differential diagnosis among lacunas, demyelination and perivessel space in the aging brain. Methods T1 and T2 weighted image for 100 aging brains were analyzed retrospectively. All examinations were performed using GE 1.5 T scanner. Results In 100 subjects, 61 had multiloci of infarction and constituted a total of 110 loci. They located at pontine(17), cerebellum(14), lentiform nucleus(24), internal capsal(10), thalamus(12), periventricular and head of caudate nucleus (26), semioval centrum (7). They were round, elliptic, triangle, curve and irregular in shape, respectively. Ninety-five patients had 125 countable perivessel spaces. They located at ganglia (84) and semioval centrum (41). Demyelination was seen in 71 subjects and involved pontine and semioval centrum. Conclusions Most of lacuna, demyelination and perivessel space is distinguishable based on their signal, shape and location.

In order to evaluate the relationship between MDR of ovarian cancer and expression of neutral glycosphingolipids(N-GSLs) in ovarian cancer cell lines, the effects of TAM and VRP on the growth of COC1/DDP were assayed by MTT method. N-GSLs of the cells were isolated and purified with the modified Hakamoris method and analysed by HPTLC. The results showed that the expression of N-GSLs was different between parent cell lines and resistant cell sublines, the level of CMH was higher in COC1/DDP than in COC1. TAM and VRP could render multidrug-resistant cells sensitive to chemotherapy, while the level of CMH concomitantly was sharply decreased. It suggested that the expression of N-GSLs is associated with MDR of ovarian cancer, and CMH may be a kind of MDR related glycolipids in ovarian cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship between periodontal disease and preeclampsia and the effects of periodontal treatment on preeclampsia.Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database,WANGFANG DATA,China Dissertation Full-Text Database,China Proceedings of Conference Full-Text Database,Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMbase,Elsevier,Springer,and Science Direct OnSite were extracted from inception till September 30,2014.The case-control,cohort and randomized controlled trials about the association of matemal periodontal disease and preeclampsia were searched according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RevMan5.1 and Stata12.0 were used to test the heterogeneity of the results among the different studies and amalgamate the effect size using fixed or random effect models.Results Twenty studies (15 case-control and 5 cohort) involving 8 775 women assessed the association between periodontal disease and preeclampsia.A positive association was found (OR=2.48,95％CI:1.76-3.48,P ＜ 0.01).Meta-analysis of the case-control studies showed more than twice in the odds of preeclampsia with the presence of periodontal disease (OR=2.75,95％CI:1.93-3.92,P ＜ 0.01).Meta-analysis of cohort studies did not reveal any significant differences (OR=1.84,95％CI:0.91-3.74,P ＞ 0.05).Four randomized controlled trials with 3 712 women evaluated the effect of periodontal treatment on preeclampsia,and meta-analysis showed no relative risk reduction in preeclampsia with periodontal treatment (RR=1.04,95％CI:0.84-1.30,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Periodontal disease appears to be a possible risk factor for preeclampsia,but treatment during pregnancy does not prevent preeclampsia.High-quality prospective studies are needed to confirm the relationship between periodontal disease and preeclampsia.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule combined with Tolterodine in the treatment of overactiver bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).Methods 63 TURP patients with bladder disease (OAB) in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2012 were selected and randomly divided into a treatment group (n=32) and a control group (n=31). From the date of operation, the control group was treated with tolterodine 2 mg, 2 times a day, while the treatment group was additional treated with Ningmitai capsule 4mg, 3 times a day based on the control group. All patients stopped to take medicine 5 days after catheter removal. The pain frequency and duration of bladder spasm after TURP in catheterization period and the urine volume per time, the number of urgent incontinence, and the number of urgent micturition average day in automatic micturition period were scored by OABSS.Results The number of bladder spasm in the first postoperative day(3.5 ± 0.5vs.4.4 ± 0.8,t=2.650), the second day(1.5 ± 0.9vs.1.8 ± 0.2,t=2.350) and the third day (0.4 ± 1.6vs. 1.1 ± 1.8,t=2.210) of the treatment group were all less than the control group (P>0.05). The 24 h average frequency of urination after catheter removal (6.2 ± 1.3vs. 9.4 ± 1.8,t=2.710), the average number of nocturia (1.5 ± 0.4vs. 3.9 ± 1.0,t=2.580), the average number of 24h urinary urgency (1.1 ± 0.3vs. 3.2 ± 0.8,t=2.660), the average number of incontinence in 24 h (0.5 ± 0.2vs. 2.4 ± 0.6,t=2.700) and OABSS total score  (4.6 ± 1.2vs. 6.9 ± 2.1,t=2.470) of the treatment group were all better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ningmitai capsule combined with tolterodine in the treatment of overactiver bladder after TURP has significant clinical effect, helping patients recovery and improving quality of life.

Objective To develop a chemiluminescence imaging DNA microarray method for simultaneous,fast and accurate detection of nine rash-and fever-causing pathogens,namely,Measles virus,Rubella virus,Enterovirus type 71, Varicella zoster virus,Dengue fever virus,Human small FDNA virus B19,Coxsackie virus type A16,A-βStreptococcus pyogenes (hemolytic streptococcus)and Salmonella typhi.Methods Primers and probes were designed based on the specific sequence in the conserved region of genomes of the nine pathogens.The nucleic acids of the nine pathogens were amplified and labelled by multiplex PCR method.The multiplex PCR amplification products were hybridized with specific probes of microarray that was scanned after washing and chemiluminescence coloration to identify the nine pathogens.After the optimization of the multiplex PCR system,hybridization and chemiluminescence imaging,the specificity,sensitivity and reproducibility of the chip were evaluated.The serial diluted nucleic acid of Enterovirus type 71 was detected using microarray and real-time PCR approach to compare the sensitivity of these two methods.Results Nine specific primers and eleven specific probes were selected.The microarray demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity.The minimum detection limit of plasmid DNA and in vitro transcribed RNAs was 3 ×103 copies per reaction.The detection sensitivity of this microarray was 10 percent of that by the real-time PCR method.The rate of sensitivity and specificity of clinical sample detection was 95% and 85.7% respectively,and the rate of accuracy was 93.2%.Conclusion A chemiluminescence imaging DNA microarray method for simultaneous,fast and accurate detection of nine pathogens that cause rash and fever illnesses is established successfully,which can serve as a new high throuthput screening method for clinical diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of rash and fever illnesses.

Objective To observe the effect of intensive insulin therapy (ⅡT) on prognosis of severe chest trauma (SCT) pateints.Methods 42 consecutive patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups:ⅡT group (n =21) and the conventional insulin therapy group (CIT group,n =21).Blood glucose was maintained at the level of 4.4 -6.1mmol/L in ⅡT group,and 10.0 -11.1mmol/L in CIT group.The 2 groups were observed in terms of fatality rate during hospital stay,infection rate,the duration of mechanical ventilation,ICU stay length,pleural drainage day and count of neutrophils.Results No death or hypoglycemic reaction happened during hospitalization.Compared to CIT group,infenction rate,mechanical ventilation time,ICU stay length,and the time required for white blood cell to resume normal in ⅡT group were decreased significantly ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The difference had no statistical significance between the 2 groups in duration of pleural drainage and incidence of hypoglycemia (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion ⅡT improves the short-term prognosis of SCT patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in non-stroke population with over 50 years old from Dongcheng District and Shijingshan District of Beijing.Methods A total of 9 524 of non-stroke population with over 50 years old were selected as our subject,which were sampled from Dongcheng District and Shijingshan District of Beijing by using stratified cluster random sampling method.Investigation and physical inventory check were conducted on all subbjects conduct,and the results was statistical analyzed by using SPSS 17.0 software.Results Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of all subjects increased with the increasing of BML The prevalence of hypertension of three age groups were significant different between male and female (Z =-50.47,P ＜ 0.001).The prevalence of hypertension in males with 50-59 years old was considerably higher than that of females (x2 =14.74,P ＜0.001).However,the prevalence of hypertension in females with 60-69 years old and ≥70 years old group were higher than that of males (x2 =12.39,P ＜ 0.001 ; x2 =10.36,P =0.001).Overall,the prevalence of hypertension between males and females was no significant (male for 37.9％,female 37.3％,x2 =0.31,P =0.578).BMI increased with the increasing blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension,taking the people with BMI ＜ 18.5 kg/m2 as reference,OR values of the risk for male people with BMI 18.5-24.0kg/m2,24.0-28.0 kg/m2,and ≥ 28.0 kg/m2 to get hypertension people were 1.622 (95％ CI:0.653 -4.029),2.405 (95％ CI:0.940-5.940),4.248 (95％ CI:1.709-10.559) respectively,while for female people were 2.212 (95％ CI:1.193-4.104),3.870 (95％ CI:2.092-7.157),6.603 (95％ CI:3.557 -12.258) respectively.Conclusion Overweight and obesity are risk factors of hypertension.Obesity control contributes to the prevention and treatment of hypertension in middle-aged and elderly population.

Objective To evaluate the differential diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT between pancreatic lymphoma (PL) and pancreatic carcinoma (PC).Methods The 18 F-FDG PET-CT data of 16 patients who were pathological diagnosed with PL were retrospectively reviewed and compared with those of 32 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who were pathologically diagnosed and randomly enrolled.The age,location,diameter and the maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) of pancreatic lesions,pancreatic ductal dilatation,distal pancreatic atrophy,serum CA19-9 level and extrapancreatic organs involvement were analyzed.Results The 16 patients with PL included 8 men and 8 women,the mean age was (46 ± 17)year,and 11.1％ (1/9) patients had elevated CA19-9.The 32 patients with PC included 15 men and 17 women,the mean age was (61 ± 12)year,and 81.3％ patients had elevated CA19-9.There were no significant differences on gender between the two groups,while the mean age of PL patients was younger than that of PC,elevated CA19-9 was less common than that in PC,and the differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).There were 12 cases of diffusive large B cell lymphoma,2 cases of B lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia,1 case of follicular lymphoma and 1 case of dysplastic large T cell lymphoma in 16 PL patients.There was no significant difference on the site of pancreatic lesions between the two groups,but long diameter of PL lesions was larger than that of PC [(6.6 ± 3.3) vs (4.3 ± 1.8) cm,P =0.038].Dilated pancreatic duct and distal parenchyma atrophy in PL were less than those in PC (3/16 vs 17/32,1/16 vs 13/32),and SUVmax of PL lesions was significantly higher than that of PC (12.0 ± 5.5 vs 8.6 ± 3.8),indicating that the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The cut-off value of SUVmax was 9.95,and Youden's index was 0.406 with the sensitivity and specificity of 68.8％ and 71.9％ for differentiating PL from PC.The incidence of extrapancreatic lesions including bone marrow and kidney and spleen infiltration was significantly more frequent in patients with PL than that in patients with PC(56.3％ vs 6.25％,43.8％ vs 3.1％,50.0％ vs 6.3％),while the incidence of liver metastases was significantly lower than that in PC (12.5％ vs 5.0％),indicating that the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜0.01).There were no significant differences on the incidence of other extrapancreatic lesions.Conclusions PL should be considered in relatively younger patients and manifested as a bulky mass with significant FDG uptake and extrapancreatic involvement of bone,kidney and spleen but without distinct pancreatic ductal dilation or distal parenchymal atrophy or liver metastasis.

Total 1350 subjects were selected by cluster random sampling from Chongwen District and Shijingshan District in Beijing with a populations of 100 000.Chongwen District represented a typical urban district and Shijingshan represtnted a newly extended urban district.Qualified investigators conducted face-to-face survey using the uniform questionnaire and measurement, dealing with the knowledge, attitude and behavior for risk factors of stroke in two districts.The results showed:in Chongwen District, the awareness rates of "the diagnostic criteria of hypertension", "antihypertensive drugs can lower the risk of cardiocerebral vascular disease", and "criteria for obesity" were 71.3%, 87.3% and 22.9% respectively,which were significantly higher than those in Shijingshan District.The awareness rate of "bad temper may increase the risk of cardiocerebral vascular disease" was lower in the Chongwen District.There were no significant differences in attitude between two districts.In Chongwen District the level of three risk factors (smoking and obesity) was significantly lower than Shijingshan, but action of self-examination was also significantly lower.Generally, there was higher level in health knowledge and lower level of risk factors in Chongwen District.The hypertension-related knowledge and behavior was not entirely consistent.It is necessary to transform knowledge into behavioral changes or intervention of risk factors in population with high awareness like Chongwen District.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, angiographic features and clinical significance of kinking of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods The clinical and radiological data of 21 patients with kinking of extracranial ICA were retrospectively reviewed in our hospital from April 2003 to July 2007. Fisher exact test was performed. Results Of the 21 patients, 7 hod no clinical symptoms, the other 14 showed manifestations of cerebral iachemia with varying degree. One of the characteristic clinical manifestations that neck rotation or specific positions of head and neck might induce the occurrence of clinical symptoms was found in 5 cases. The whole-brain coverage DSA accurately showed the location of kinking of extracranial ICA and the degree of vascular stenosis. In patients with α < 66%, 80% > α≥ 66% and α≥ 80%, clinical symptoms were found in 3 out of 5,7 out of 10 and 4 out of 6 patients, respectively. Fisher exact test revealed that the positive rates of clinical symptoms in three groups had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Kinking of extracranial ICA is a frequent vascular morphologic variation, and it is also a kind of potential disease. The whole-brain coverage DSA is a relatively reliable method to detect this variation.
