Sphincter of Oddi manometry (SOM) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD),especially the type Ⅰ SOD.The dysfunction of sphincter of Oddi can lead to other comorbidity.Therefore,SOM is of special importance for such patients.When performing SOM,we need to intubate into the papilla,so it requires high technique and is associated with a relatively higher risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis.Recently,the equipment of SOM is being updated constantly.The use of modified catheter and high resolution gastrointestinal dynamic system for recording and analyzing has made the technology more accurate and safe than ever before.Due to the widespread use of ERCP,SOM is expected to be one of the routine examinations in clinical practice and its application has a promising prospect.This article reviews the latest research progress on SOM in recent years.

Objective To explore the expression of glutathione-S-transferase-π(GST-π),P-glycoprotein (P-gp),topoisomerase Ⅱ (Topo Ⅱ) and thymidylate synthase (TS) in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and the clinical significance.Methods Envision method of immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of GST-π,P-gp,Topo Ⅱ and TS in sample of 64 gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and 12 normal gastric mucosas,and their corresponding clinical data were comprehensive analyzed.Results The expression positive rates of GST-π,P-gp,Topo Ⅱand TS were respectively 76.6 ％(49/64),64.1％ (41/64),84.4 ％ (50/64) and 53.1％ (34/64),that were all higher than in gastric mucosa [8.3 ％ (1/12),8.3 ％(1/12),16.7 ％ (2/12),0],the differences were statistically significant respectively (P ＜ 0.01).Their positive expression rates were closely relevant to the degree of differentiation (P ＜ 0.05),but not to the patients' gender,age,tumour size,clinical staging,invasive depth and lymph node metastasis (P ＞ 0.05).The expressions of GST-π,P-gp and TS in high and middle differentiation adenocarcinoma were high.er than in low differentiation,but the expression of Topo Ⅱ in high and middle differentiation adenocarcinoma was lower than in low differentiation (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion GST-π,P-gp,Topo Ⅱ and TS are over-expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma,which is related to the multidrug resistance of gastric adenocarcinoma.The joint detection of the expression of GST-π,P-gp,Topo Ⅱ and TS in gastric adenocarcinoma can be looked as an important symbol for guiding its chemotherapy drug and prognosis.

AIM:To observe the characterization in neural cells derived from the hippocampus of embryonic rats and to examine the effect of myelin-associated glycoprotein(MAG) on the proliferation,differentiation and neurite growth of neural stem cells(NSCs).METHODS:The hippocampus cells of embryonic rats were isolated and cultured in vitro.The expressions of nestin and doublecortin,the marks of NSCs,were observed by immunocytochemical method.The rate of proliferating cells was examined by BrdU immunocytochemistry.The average neuronal neurite length and the percentage of differentiated neurons were detected by immunocytochemistry staining.RESULTS:The hippocampus cells of 16 days old embryonic rats had the characteristics of NSCs.The percentage of differentiated neurons(?-tubulin Ⅲ-positive cells) was 18.17%?2.79% and the average neuronal neurite length was(136.27?33.66)?m,seven days after the differentiation initiated in vitro in control group.After NSCs were treated with MAG-Fc(200 ?g/L),the percentage of differentiated neurons and the average neurite length were decreased,respectively,to 10.05%?3.42%(P0.05).CONCLUSION:MAG-Fc inhibits the differentiation and neurite growth of the NSCs,but has no effect on the proliferation.

Objective To establish an enterovirus 71(EV71) infection model of tree shrew primary renal cells.Methods Tree shrew primary renal cells were obtained by trypsin digestion.After subculture and purification,EV71 virus was used to infect these primary cells.The culture supernatant of these EV71-infected cells was collected for virus titer detection at 1,2,4,6 and 8 days post-infection.The cells were collected for detection of EV71 VP1 protein by Western blot assay.Furthermore,the expression and location of VP1 protein in the infected cells were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay.Vero cells were taken as positive control to evaluate the infectivity of EV71 virus to tree shrew primary renal cells.Results Morphologically,the cultured cells were proved to be majorly consisted of the primary renal cells after subculture and purification.The obtained primary cells were infected by EV71 virus.The virus titer was up to 1.3×106 TCID 50/mL during 48-96 h post-infection,proving that EV71 virus infected and proliferated in the tree shrew primary renal cells.Western blot showed that the viral VP1 protein was detected from infected primary cells at 2 to 8 d post infection.VP1 protein was also observed in the cytoplasm at 2 to 6 d post infection by indirect immunofluorescence.Compared with Vero cells,the infectivity of EV71 virus to tree shrew primary renal cells and its proliferation were confirmed.Conclusions Based on the successful establishment of cell culture of tree shrew primary renal cells,the infectivity to the obtained cells and proliferation of EV71 virus in the cells are confirmed.The model of EV71 virus-infected tree shrew primary renal cells is initially established.

AIM To study hypoxia reoxygenation induced apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and the roles of nitric oxide in this process. METHODS Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were divided into two groups. Cells of one group were cultured in an incubator of 950 mL?L -1 N 2 and 50 mL?L -1 CO 2 for 16 h, 32 h and 48 h followed by normal incubation for 6h to form the cell model of hypoxia reoxygenation injury.Cells of another group were cultured in the same hypoxia condition for 16 h, 32 h and 48 h. Before they were put in normal condition for 6 h, NO donor SNAP was added to the media to form the final concentration of 100 ?mol?L -1 . Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and flow cytometer. RESULTS Apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL after hypoxia of 16 h, 32 h and 48 h followed by 6 h reoxygenation and the apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes were (5 5?0 7)%, (11 0?1 1)% and (14 2?1 6)% respectively detectedby flow cytometer. The apoptotic rates of myocardiums with SNAP were (3 2?0 7)%, (7 8?0 7)% and (10 9?1 0)% respsctively. CONCLUSION The apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes undergoing hypoxia reoxygenation injury increase with time of hypoxia; NO can inhibit apoptotic rates of cardiomyocytes in this pathological process and thus may have a protective effect on cardiomyocytes.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on cerebral edema and cerebral blood flow perfusion with MRI following cardiac arrest (CA) and on successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in dogs.Methods Sixteen beagle dogs were induced CA with alternating current on epicardium,then were randomly (random number) divided into the EECP and control group after successful ROSC.MR scanning brain of all animals was carried out by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) before CA and on the first,second and third days after ROSC.Blood pressure,right common carotid artery flow,and intracranial microcirculation perfusion were measured.Results There were no significant differences in mean artery pressure at all intervals between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was significant increase in right common carotid artery blood flow and intracranial microcirculation of dogs in EECP group compared with the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) of water molecule on the first and third days after ROSC were significantly higher in the EECP group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Ratios of post-ROSC relative cerebral blood flow (RCBF) /original cerebral blood flow were higher in the EECP group than those in the control group on the first,second and third days after ROSC (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EECP treatment could improve cerebral blood flow perfusion and relieve ischemic cerebral edema,alleviating brain injury in dogs following CA and successful ROSC.

Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a tool that uses the intrinsic nature of local magnetic fields to enhance image contrast in order to improve the visibility of various susceptibility sources. SWI has blood oxygen levels dependent effect and is sensitive to the change of the cerebral oxygen saturation. This imaging method is applied to various diseases with abnormal deoxyhemoglobin concentration, such as ischemic stroke and cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Patients with acute ischemic stroke have elevated levels of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the affected area, so the ischemic area can show abnormal venous imaging on SWI images. SWI could recognize penumbra and guide the management of patients with acute stroke. Besides, SWI also could evaluate the severity of symptoms, predict prognosis and future surviving state. This paper reviews the research progress of the prominent hypointense vessels sign and its application in acute ischemic stroke.

Because the brain and kidneys share a common basis for small vessel lesions, the related research on cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is gradually increasing. The development of neuroimaging technology has significantly increased the detection rate of CMBs, but there is still controversy over whether CKD will increase the incidence of CMBs. This article reviews the relationship between CKD and CMBs, pathogenesis, biomarkers, and treatment.

Objective To analyze the aminoglycoside ( AG ) antibiotics resistance rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ( CRKP ) and its molecular mechanisms.Methods One hundred and four strains of CRKP isolated from 4 hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2013 to June 2014 were collected, including 56 strains from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital , Zhejiang University School of Medicine ( S hospital ), 22 from the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine ( Z hospital), 13 from Yiwu TCM Hospitals (Y Hospital) and 13 from Fuyang First People's Hospital (F Hospital).VITEK 2 Compact method and K-B disk method were used to detect the susceptibility of commonly used antibiotics including three kinds of AGs (kanamycin, gentamycin and amikacin ).PCR and sequencing techniques were used to screen the aminoglycoside resistance -related 16S rRNA methylation genes (rmtA, rmtB and armA) and the aminoglycoside modified enzyme resistance gene [aac(6′)Ⅰb].The relationship between drug resistance and carrier status of drug resistance genes was analyzed .Homologous analysis of rmtB-positive strains was performed using PFGE to examine the epidemic spread of strains in each hospital.Results All 104 CRKP strains were multi-drug resistant and had high resistance to cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones ( ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin ) and nitrofurantoin.The resistance rates to gentamicin, kanamycin and amikacin were 73.1%(76/104), 64.4%(67/104) and 56.7%(59/104), respectively.The carrying rates of aminoglycoside-resistance genes were: rmtB 56.7%( 59/104 ), aac (6′)Ⅰb 17.3%(18/104), armA 1.9%(2/104); while no rmtA was detected.Thirty-seven strains did not carry the screened genes.Amikacin-resistant strains were resistant to both kanamycin and gentamicin, and both were rmtB-positive strains.The PFGE classification results showed that 104 strains were divided into 11 clonal populations, and there were scattered non-population clones in each hospital. There were seven major clonal populations (Ⅰ-Ⅶ) carrying rmtB genes, of which typeⅠ, typeⅢand typeⅤwere prevalent in S hospital ; typeⅡ, typeⅥand TypeⅦwere popular in Z hospital ; the distribution of strains in Y hospital was scattered ; F hospital had one independent clone type Ⅳ(3 strains).Conclusion AGs still have certain sensitivity to CRKP strains.The main mechanism of strain resistance to AGs is the rmtB gene-mediated 16S rRNA methylase.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction score for the needs of coronary care unit (CCU) care in stable condition acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 805 STEMI patients who accepted PCI in the First Hospital of Jilin University from November 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the patients, 654 patients from November 2017 to July 2018 were served as the modeling group, the patients with needs of CCU had 125 cases, and the patients without needs of CCU had 529 cases; 151 patients from August 2018 to October 2018 were served as the validation group, the patients with needs of CCU had 28 cases, and the patients without needs of CCU had 123 cases. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the risk prediction model and determine the score standards. The critical value was determined according to the best Youden index of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Among 805 patients with STEMI, 153 cases (19.01%) had the needs of CCU, and the most common reason was pump failure (heart failure and cardiogenic shock, 113 cases). In the modeling group, age (60 to 74 years old, OR = 1.513, 95% CI 0.945 to 2.424, P = 0.085; ≥75 years old, OR = 2.740, 95% CI 1.371 to 5.478, P = 0.004), total ischemic time>4 h ( OR = 1.701, 95% CI 1.022 to 2.831, P = 0.041), admission shock index ≥0.8 ( OR = 1.910, 95% CI 1.178 to 3.099, P = 0.009), multi-vessel disease ( OR = 2.090, 95% CI 1.272 to 3.432, P = 0.004), preoperative diseased vessels thrombolysis in myocardial ischemia (TIMI) blood flow grade 0 ( OR = 2.099, 95% CI 1.313 to 3.353, P = 0.002), acute anterior myocardial infarction ( OR = 3.696, 95% CI 2.347 to 5.819, P<0.001) and previous history of stroke ( OR = 3.927, 95% CI 2.057 to 7.500, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for CCU needs in STEMI patients undergoing PCI. The scoring criteria were as followings: age<60 years old was given 0 score, 60 to 74 years old 1 score, ≥75 years old 2 score; total ischemic time>4 h in 1 score, admission shock index ≥0.8 2 scores, multi-vessel disease 2 scores, preoperative diseased vessels TIMI blood flow grade 0 2 scores, acute anterior myocardial infarction 3 scores, previous history of stroke 3 scores, and the total score was 15 scores. The patients with 0 to 6 scores were low-risk, and the patients with 7 to 15 scores were high-risk. ROC curve analysis result showed that, in modeling group, the area under curve (AUC) of risk prediction score for predicting the needs of CCU in STEMI patients was 0.740 (95% CI 0.692 to 0.788, P = 0.580); in validation group, the AUC of risk prediction score for predicting the needs of CCU in STEMI patients was 0.755 (95% CI 0.658 to 0.853, P = 0.755). Conclusions:A predictive risk score based on seven risk factors such as age, total ischemic time, admission shock index, multi-vessel disease, preoperative diseased vessels TIMI blood flow grade, acute anterior myocardial infarction and previous history of stroke is constructed in order to predict the needs of CCU in STEMI patients with stable condition who receive PCI treatment. It can be used to help doctors to identify high-risk patients before the admission to CCU, thus providing simple and practical clinical tool for rational allocation of limited CCU resources.
