Objective To investigate the clinical and characteristic imaging findings of intracranial gliosarcoma. Methods The imaging findings of surgery and pathology proved intracranial gliosarcoma in 15 cases were retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 44 to 67 years (mean age 58 years). Results All tumors were located in supratentorium, including 13 cases in the temporal or parietal lobe, 1 cases in the occipital lobe, and 1 cases in the thalamus. Tumors appeared as round or ellipse in shape. The lesions ranged in size from 3 to 9 cm (mean 4.6 cm). CT scan showed mingled hypo and isodensity in 7, hypodense in 4 with CT value from 18 to 22 HU, hyperdense in 4 with the CT value from 48 to 55 HU. Enhancement appeared as an irregular pattern. The margin was clear. Most intracranial gliosarcoma showed perifocal edema. MRI were examined in 6 cases, whichappeared as low signal on T 1WI, and as high signal on T 2WI. There was irregular enhancement of the mass. Conclusion It was difficult to make the correct preoperative diagnosis for gliosarcoma, but it was possible to make a tendency diagnosis using CT or MR combined with the history. Contrast enhanced CT and MRI should be useful in differentiating gliosarcoma from glioblastoma.

Objective To compare L 5 anterior roots which is mostly composed of somatic motor nerve fibers and S2 anterior roots which is mostly composed of parasympathetic nerve fibers as dynamic nerve on bladder reinnervation and functional reconstruction after spinal cord injury. Methods Randomly select one side as experimental side and the other side as control, then L 5-S2 anterior roots cross extrameningeal anastomosis in the experimental side and S2-S2 self extrameningeal anastomosis in the control side were performed in 5 dogs. The changes of bladder pressure, urethral pressure responsed to electrical stimulation of the anastomosis roots on each side were recorded in the mean time and the two groups data were compared after one year. Results There were no significant difference between the changes of bladder pressure, urethral pressure responded to the stimulation of left side and right sides anterior roots as the anastomosis operation performed. After one year, both of experimental sides L 5 and control sides S2 anterior roots established neural relationship with bladder detrusor and urethral sphincter. There were no significant difference in the change of bladder pressure responded to electrical stimulation of the anastomosis roots between experimental side (5.0?2.1) kPa and control side (4.6?1.8) kPa(P=0.17) as well. The change of urethral pressure responded to electrical stimulation of the anastomosis roots between experimental side (4.2?1.7)kPa and control side (4.4?1.6)kPa also has no significant difference(P=0.31). Conclusion In the treatment of bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury, L 5 anterior root can serve a similar role as S2 on bladder functional reconstruction as a dynamic nerve.

To introduce a new modification to simplify the neuroprosthesis of sacral anterior root stimulated micturition for Chinese patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Spinal cord was transected at T 10 in six dogs and they were randomly divided into 2 groups. In dogs of group I, bilateral L 7 ～S 3 posterior rhizotomy (complete de afferentation, SDAF) was performed. In animals of group II bilateral L 7 , S 2 , S 3 posterior rhizotomy plus bilateral S 1 anterior rhizotomy (partial de afferentation combined with partial de efferentation) were performed. Cystometrogram (CMG) was carried out weekly after the operations. For clinical studies, ten patients with complete SCI above cone were included. Intraoperative electrical stimulation of each individual S 2 ～S 4 roots was carried out and bladder pressure changes were recorded simultaneously. The results showed that the dogs in group II manifested a similar CMG to that of group I, indicating that a flaccid bladder with good compliance and storing function was resulted. For parasympathetic innervation to bladder detrusor in Chinese, it had been found that S 3 root was the most frequent (100%) and the most efficacious (52 2%) contributor, S 4 ranked the second frequent (90%) and a lesser but still significant efficacious (44 9%), and S 2 the least frequent (25%) and the minimal contributor (2 9%). It suggested that using one cable with two electrodes placed on the anterior roots of S 3 and S 4 bilaterally, combined with severance of S 3 and S 4 posterior roots as de afferentation, or plus division of anterior root of S 2 as de efferentation, could restore both voiding and storing function of the bladder in Chinese SCI patients. This new modification has the advantages of reducing the cost of neuroprosthesis and broadening of its indication

Objective To investigate serum NK cell levels in HBeAg positive early pregnancy women with immune activation.Methods Fifty four HBeAg positive pregnant women admitted in Taizhou People's Hospital from September 2010 to April 2013 were enrolled in the study.Among them,the serum HBV DNA load decreased ≥2 log at 12 weeks after pregnancy in 24 cases (immune activation group) and HBV DNA did not decrease in 30 cases (immune tolerance group).The serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total bilirubin,HBeAg,HBV DNA load and NK cells were measured.Results At week 12 of gestation,the mean ALT levels and ALT abnormality rate in immune active group were higher than those in immune tolerance group [(146.7 ±93.1) vs.(44.1 ± 14.7) U/L,t =2.95,P＜0.05,50.0％ vs.6.7％,x2 =4.97,P ＜0.05].There was no significant difference of HBeAg level between two groups before pregnancy,while HBeAg level in immune activation group was lower than that in immune tolerance group at week 12 week of gestation [(291.8 ± 170.5) vs.(443.7 ± 289.9) S/CO,t =2.81,P ＜0.05].The percentage and absolute number of NK cells in immune activation group were higher than those in immune tolerance group [(26.7 ±9.1)％ vs.(17.1 ±7.8)％,t =2.52,P ＜0.05 and (370.9 ±136.4)/μl vs.(213.2 ±97.8)/μl,t =2.38,P ＜0.05,respectively].Conclusions In HBeAg positive early pregnant women with immune activation,the inhibition of HBV DNA might be associated with the activation of NK cells.

Objective To study the effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs of propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem on c-type Kv1. 4 channels in Xenopus laevis oocytes with two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. Methods Defolliculated oocytes ( stage Ⅴ - Ⅵ) had transcribed cRNAs of ferret Kv1. 4△N channels injected. The oocytes were continuously perfused with control solution or propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem under monitoring of software of Clampfit v 9. 0. Results All of the three drugs blocked ferret Kv1. 4△N channel in voltage-, frequency- and concentration-dependent manners. The values of IC50 (50%inhibiting concentration ) of propafenone, amiodarone and dilthiazem were ( 103.4± 2. 2 ) μ mol/L,(501.22 +5.9) μmol/L and (353.62 +9.9) μmol/L, respectively. The currents under the actions of propafenone , amiodarone and dilthiazem were decreased to 41%, 32% and 21% of control group, respectively. Propafenone (100μ mol/L), Amiodarone (500μmol/L), dilthiazem (350μmol/L) inhibited currents to (54. 6 + 1.9 ) %, ( 46. 3 + 3.5 ) %, ( 52. 8 ± 2. 8 ) % of control group in voltage-dependent blockage. Conclusions The results suggested that all the three drugs blocked the kv1. 4△N channel in the open state. The three drugs block the kv1. 4△N channel maybe had the similiar effects in some respects, but each had its unique characteristics.

Objective: To explore the relationships among social support, depression, anxiety and suicide ideation among middle school students in rural areas of south Sichuan Province so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting middle school students’ mental health and reducing suicide ideation. Methods: A sum of 2 217 students of grade 7 and 10 from 2 township middle schools in mountainous areas of Zizhong County, Sichuan Province, were investigated by means of typical sampling and cluster random sampling. Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Self-rating Scale for Depression (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-compiled adolescent health questionnaire were used to measure suicidal ideation, and structural equation model was used for statistical analysis. Results: The depression score of middle school students was (13.51±12.57), and the self-rating scale for Depression score of girls was (14.61±12.67), higher than that of boys (12.24±12.34). The SSRS score of Social Support Rating Scale of junior high school students was (35.49±5.88), which was higher than that of senior high school students (34.70±5.43), and the differences were of statistical significance(t=4.46, 2.67, P<0.05). The results of structural equation model showed that depression and anxiety directly affected suicidal ideation, and the standardized effects were respectively 0.11 (95%CI=0.06-0.16) and 0.09(95%CI=0.05-0.14). Depression and anxiety were the intermediate variables in the relationship between social support and suicidal ideation, and the mediating effects were respectively -0.46(95%CI=-0.51--0.41) and -0.21(95%CI=-0.27--0.16). Studying period could play a mediating role in the indirect effect made by social support on suicide ideation through anxiety. Conclusion Anxiety and depression have significant mediating effect on the relationship between social support and suicidal ideation among middle school students in rural areas of south Sichuan province. Anxiety and depression intervention are important measures to reduce suicide ideation among low social supporters.

Objective To explore the care burden and its influencing factors of primary caregiver of patients with spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 120 primary caregiver of spinal cord injury patients were selected as research object. The general information of SCI patients and their primary caregiver were investigated by SCI patient general data questionnaire and primary caregiver in SCI patient general data questionnaire, caregiver burden of spinal cord injury were investigated bycaregiver burden inventory. The relationship between the general information of patients and caregivers and the care burden analyzed. Results Caregiver burden of elderly patients was significantly lower than that of younger ones (F=54.053,P<0.01). The more serious of spinal cord injury, the higher of care burden (F=315.104,P<0.01). The patients with neck and multiple segmental spine injury and postoperative complications had a higher care burden (F=199.203,t=6.462, 32.195,P<0.01). When the caregivers were female, spouses or children, with poor health condition, with higher education degree, and as cadres or workers, caregiver burden was higher (t=6.061,F=22.073-52.392,P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of spinal cord injury, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients were the main factors that influenced the care burden. Conclusions The main factors influencing the care burden are spinal cord injury degree, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients. Clinical managers needs to develop appropriate social support system for the factors which affect the caregiver, in order to ease the caregiver′s care burden.

[Abstract ] Objective Numerous studies had shown that synaptic-associated proteins (SNAPs) were closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors .The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of synaptosomal-associated protein 47 (SNAP47) and its correlation with the clinicopathological features in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods The expres-sions of SNAP family (SNAP23, SNAP25, SNAP29 and SNAP47) were extracted and analyzed through the gene expression microarray and the cancer genome atlas ( TCGA) data-base.SNAP47 mRNA expression in 52 cases of lung adenocarcinoma and their correspond-ing normal tissues were detected by quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR) . Results Among 52 cases of lung adenocarcinoma , SNAP47 mRNA expression levels of 41 cases(78.9%) were significantly higher than the adjacent lung tissue (P<0.05).The mRNA level of SNAP47 was associated with lymph node invasion and advanced clinical patho-logical stage .The mRNA levels of SNAP47 of patients in II/III stage were significantly higher than those of I stage patients ( 6.558 ± 4.730 vs 2.718 ±2.370, P<0.05).The mRNA levels of N1+N2 were higher than those of N0 (6.609 ±4.942 vs 3.360 ±2.987,P<0.05). Conclusion The high specificity of SNAP47 expression in lung cancer tissues might be associated with the invasion and lymph node metastasis of NSCLC , which is the potential therapeutic target of lung cancer .
