Aim To study the receptor mechanism of carvedilol(CAR) on heart failure.Methods Established rat model of heart failure was induced by abdominal aortic coarctation.With modified Langendorff model of rat,isoproterenol(ISO),carvedilol,propranolol(PRL) and the specific ?3 adrenergic receptor(?3AR) blocker SR59230A were given perfusion on heart failure and normal rats' hearts.Then the cardiac function was investigated.At the same time,plasma norepinephrine in normal and heart failure group was measured.Results ① The ?dp/dtmax of heart failure group were significantly reduced compared with those of the normal group,and the norepinephrine level was remarkably higher than that of the normal group.② In heart failure group,perfused PRL on the basis of ISO,the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise(+dp/dtmax) decreased by 40.37%? 2.52%,the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure decrease(-dp/dtmax) reduced by 41.36%?1.10%;perfused CAR on the basis of ISO,+dp/dtmax decreased by 24.73%? 3.60%,-dp/dtmax reduced by 22.05%?1.27%.There were differences between these two groups,and the cardiac function perfused CAR was better than PRL.③ Perfused CAR in heart failure group,+dp/dtmax increased by 41.57%?14.98%,-dp/dtmax increased by 33.39%?6.41%;perfused ?3AR specific blocker SR59230A,+dp/dtmax increase by 45.75% ?2.64%,-dp/dtmax increased by 42.81% ?9.62%.There were no differences between these two groups.Conclusion Another receptor mechanism of CAR in heart failure model was probably blocked by ?3AR.

Objective To explore the surgical techniques of keyhole approach craniotomy in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in old patients. Methods CT-guided keyhole approach craniotomy was performed to treat 50 old patients with hypertensive hematomas from January 2000 to August 2003. Results CT scans within 12 postoperative hours showed over 90% hematomas were removed. The activity of daily living (ADL) classification results 6 months after the surgery were: grade Ⅰin 10 cases (20.0%), grade Ⅱ in 21 cases (42.0%), grade Ⅲ in 9 cases (18%), grade Ⅳ in 3 cases (6.0%), grade Ⅴ in 2 cases (4.0%), and grade Ⅵ in 5 cases (10.0%). Conclusions Senility is by no means a contraindication for surgery in the treatment of hypertensive hematomas and keyhole approach minimally invasive craniotomy can give a satisfactory effect.

Effects of Sini decoctiou (SD ) on ischemic (anoxic ) electrocardiogram (ECG ) and possible action mechanism of SD were studied.Results indicate that SD significantly improves the pituitrin induced ischemic ECG of rabbits, significantly prevents S-T scgment from desconding and suppresses the elevation of T wave; SD can also lengthen significantly cardioe lectric activity time of anoxic mice. The protective cffects of SD on ischemic (anoxic ) myocardium may be related to the significant increase of myocardial nutritional blood flow induced by administrating SD.

Objective To study the probability of transferring the regulatory T cells induced by TGF-β1 to prolong the allograft survival and the mechanisms involved.Methods According to the different culture conditions.three experimental groups were established:control group(T cells from C57 BL/6 mice cultured with II-2),MLR group(T cells from C57BL/6 mice activated by alloantigen)and TGF-βgroup(T cells from C57BL/6 mice activated by alloantigen and cultured with 5.0 ng/ml TGF-β1).After the culture,the ratio of CI4+CD25+T and the Foxq3 expression were measured by FACS and RT-PCR,respectively.On 9th day,the pathologic analysis was performed and the ratios of TH1,TH2 and Treg and the proliferation of lymphocytes were measured.Results The ratio of CD4+CD25+T in TGF-β group was higher than that in control group and MLR group(P<0.05),and Foxp3 was expressed in CD4+CD25+T cell from TGF-βgroup.After transferring ofthe cells,the allografi survival time in TGF-β group was prolonged and its mean survival time(MST)was(22.8±1.9)d,which was longer than that in MLR group and control group (P0.05),lower than that of control group(P<0.05). And the ratio of CD4+CD25+T in TGF-β group was higher than that in control and MLR group obviously(P

Objective To explore the effectiveness of sandplay therapy combined with family counseling in children with school phobia and its influence of child′ self-consciousness. Methods Integrative sandplay therary with family consulting were used to treat 28 patients with school phobia regularly for 2 months. Sandplay and family consulting therapy were given once a week for 45 minutes . Clinical outcomes were assessed using CGI-GI and Piers-Harris children′s self-consciousness scale before and after treatment as well as 3 months posttreatment. Results Overall response rate was 85%. In addition, the physical appearance and characteristic factor before and after treatment were no significant difference (P>0.05). The rest of the various factors and total score compared with pre-treatment significantly improved (P<0.05). After treatment for 3 months, every factor in self-consciousness of children and total score were no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Integrative sandplay therapy with family counseling has better and long-lasting treatment effect to self-consciousness of children with school refusal.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, the effectiveness of stem cel transplantation in the treatment of spinal cord injury has been validated in animal models, and mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for treatment of spinal cord injury has been studied most widely. Currently, there are a number of relevant clinical studies that have shown a good prospect. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for spinal cord injury in human with a system review. METHODS:PubMed database, EMBASE database, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of knowledge, CBM database, VIP database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched from their start year up to July 2015 for relevant randomized clinical trials on the treatment of spinal cord injury with mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. The key words were“spinal cord injury, paraplegia, cel transplantation, transplantation, mesenchymal stem cel , bone marrow transplantation, stem cel , randomized control ed trial”in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 260 articles were retrieved, including 6 randomized clinical trials (252 cases). In the aspects of ASIA touch sensation score, overal Frankel score and daily life activity training score, the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation were significantly superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, ASIA motor function score and residual urine volume were also improved in the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, low fever was more common in the patients undergoing mesechymal stem cel transplantation (P<0.05). Another side effect was lower limb numbness, but there was no difference from the control group (P>0.05). These findings suggest that mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has limited efficacy in the treatment of spinal cord injury and cannot induce severe complications, but there is a need for high-quality randomized control ed trials to prove the efficiency and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

Aim To study the differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells ( HM-SCs) into retinal cells in vitro. Methods HMSCs were isolated from human bone marrow after Ficoll den-sity gradient centrifugation. The adherent cells after at least 5 passages were used for study. Immunopheno-type of the cells was analysed by flow cytometer, and cellular differentiation was identified by immunofluores-cence labeling technique. Results The target cells derived from human bone marrow adhered to the plate with fibroblastic-like morphology, whose surface mark-ers were similar to mesenchymal stem cells. Major cells
were positive for CD90 , CD44 , CD147 , while they were all negative for CD34, CD45, HLA-DR. In the differentiation study, HMSCs cultured in induced me-dium can differentiate into nestin ( neural stem cell ) -positive cell, GFAP ( glial fibrillary acidic protein ) -positive glial cells and retina-specific neurons express-ing Rhodopsin with CD90 ( mesenchymal stem cells )-negative. Conclusion HMSCs have the ability to dif-ferentiate into retinal neural cells in vitro.

Objective To compare the curative effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with microwave ablation (MWA) with that of simple TACE in treating large liver cancers.Methods A computer-based search assisted by manual searching for TACE+MWA vs simple TACE clinical control trials for large liver cancers was conducted.The patient survival,tumor response and complications were enrolled in the scope of analysis.Results A total of 16 papers met the inclusion criteria,which included 1199 patients in total.Meta-analysis indicated that one-,2-and 3-year survival rates of TACE+MWA group were better than those of simple TACE group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.01).The complete response (CR) rate and partial response (PR) rate of TACE+MWA group were higher than those of simple TACE group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.01).The stable disease (SD) rate and progressive disease (PD) rate of TACE+MWA group were lower than those of simple TACE group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.01).Conclusion For the treatment of large liver cancers,TACE +MWA is superior to simple TACE.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:225-231)

Objective To evaluate the value of virtual touch tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ),which was combined with ultrasound Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS),for differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.Methods Totally 190 patients with 214 breast lesions were enrolled in this study.All lesions were classified according to the BI-RADS for sonography.The maximum,minimum and mean shear wave velocity (SWV) values on VTIQ in the lesions were obtained.The SWV between benign and malignant lesions were analyzed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were plotted to determine the cut off value of VTIQ for differential diagnosis of breast lesions. Results Pathology confirmed 166 benign lesions and 48 malignant lesions.The SWVmax,SWVmin,SWVmean of malignant lesions were significantly higher than those of benign lesions (all P<0.001).The SWVmean 3.67 m/s as the best value in the diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the combination of the SWVmean and BI-RADS classification standard in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions were 77.6%,97.5%,92.7%,91.3%,respectively.Conclusions The combination of VTIQ and ultrasonic BI-RADS can improve the ability of differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of malignant invasion of major intrahepatic ductal structures (the portal and hepatic venous vasculature, the bilie duct) by primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using multi-detector-row spiral CT (MDCT). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 68 documented HCC patients with tumorous invasion of the major intrahepatic ductal structures who had undergone contrast-enhanced dual-phase MDCT scanning of the upper abdomen.The morphological changes of the portal and hepatic venous vasculature, the bile duct, and the liver parenchyma at both the hepatic arterial phase and portal venous phase images were carefully observed and recorded. Results Among the 68 patients, 47 patients had malignant invasion of the intrahepatic portal venous vessels with secondary tumor thrombus formation; 12 patients had tumor involvement of the hepatic veins and intraheptic segment of the inferior vena cava; Tumor invasion of the bile duct was seen in 9 patents. The direct CT signs of tumor invasion of intrahepatic venous vessels included: ①dilatation or enlargement of the involved vein with intraluminal soft-tissue “filling defect”; ②enhancement of the tumor thrombus at hepatic arterial phase, the so-called “venous arterialization” phenomenon. The indirect CT signs included: ①arterial-venous shunt, ②early and heterogeneous enhancement of the hepatic parenchyma adjacent to HCC focus, ③cavernous transformation of the portal vein. The CT signs suggesting tumor invasion of the bile duct included: ①dilation of the bile ducts near or proximal to HCC lesion, ②soft-tissue nodule or mass inside the bile ducts. Conclusion Invasion of major intrahepatic ductal structures by HCC will present corresponding CT imaging features. Contrast-enhanced MDCT dual-phase scanning combined with appropriate image post-processing techniques can better evaluate the malignant invasion of major intrahepatic ductal structures.
