Objective To explore the value of MSCTU in ureterovesical junction diseases.Methods MSCTU data in 41 patients with different diseases in ureterovesical junction were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent plain and triphase contrast en-hanced CT scans.The primary imaging data were transmitted to a worksation to get the maximum intensity projection (MIP),vol-ume rendering (VR),multiplanar reconstruction (MPR)and curve plannar reconstruction (CPR)images.Results (1)CT showed congenital abnormality in 7 patients including ectopic ureteral orifice in 1,megaloureter in 1,duplication of the urter in 4 and uret-erocele in 2.(2)Urinary stone in 25 with bladder filling defect in 1 1.(3)Tumor in 9 including polyp in 1,urothelial carcinoma in 6 and prostate cancer in 2.MSCTU clearly showed the location,shape,size of the ureterovesical junction diseases and the relationship with surrounding structures.Conclusion MSCTU plays an important role in diagnosis of ureterovesical junction diseases with an ac-curate rate of 97.5%(40/41).

To investigate effects of MARCH6 gene knockdown on MCF-7 cell proliferation and cell cycle.
 Methods: 293T cells were transfected with MARCH6 shRNA lentivirus. Fluorescence microscope was used to observe and verify the transfection efficiency. The initial effect of the MARCH6 gene knockdown in MCF-7 cells was observed via fluorescence microscope. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of MARCH6. MTT and BrdU assay were used to examine cell proliferation, and staining flow cytometry was used to analyze cycle distribution of MCF-7 cells.
 Results: MARCH6 shRNA lentivirus was successfully transfected and about 80% of the cells expressed green fluorescent in comparison of the control. About 90% of the cells showed green fluorescence. The mRNA and protein in MCF-7 cells were transcription and expression of protein was significantly decreased after the transfection of MARCH6 shRNA lentivirus accompanied by a decrease in MCF-7 cell proliferation (P<0.01). Flow cytometry showed that the cell cycles were inhibited at the G1 phase and the proliferation index was significantly reduced.
 Conclusion: Knockdown of MARCH6 gene by RNA interference inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, suggesting that the expression of MARCH6 promotes proliferation of breast cancer cells through regulation of the cell cycle.

ObjectiveTo analyze the changing trend of cerebrovascular disease burden in Minhang District of Shanghai from 1996 to 2021， and to provide scientific evidence for government to formulate targeted cerebrovascular disease prevention and control strategies. MethodsMortality， years of life lost（YLL）， years of lived with disability（YLD） and disability⁃adjusted life years（DALY） were used to evaluate the burden of cerebrovascular diseases in Minhang District. Joinpoint linear regression was used to analyze the trend of disease burden. ResultsFrom 1996 to 2021， the YLL rate of cerebrovascular diseases in Minhang District showed a downward trend （whole population： APC=-1.69%， t=-6.9， P<0.05）， The YLD rate of cerebrovascular diseases showed a slow upward trend （whole population： APC=1.17%， t=3.5， P<0.05）， The DALY rate of cerebrovascular diseases showed a downward trend， and fluctuated since 2003 （whole population： APC= -1.43%， t=-5.6， P<0.05）. The YLL rate of cerebrovascular diseases in men was higher than that in women， and the YLD rate of cerebrovascular diseases in women was higher than that in men. After 2014， the DALY of cerebrovascular diseases in men was higher than that in women. With the increase of age， the burden of cerebrovascular diseases increased， and the burden of disease increased significantly in the age group above 70. ConclusionThe burden of cerebrovascular diseases in Minhang District is at a high level， and there are differences in age， gender and other aspects. Measures such as screening， intervention and rehabilitation need to be improved to reduce disability and premature death caused by cerebrovascular diseases and to reduce the burden of cerebrovascular diseases on individuals， families and society.
