Objective To assess the diagnostic value of CT and MRI findings of toxoplasma encephalitis among AIDS patients.Methods CT and MRI findings of toxoplasma encephalitis were retrospectively studied in 17 AIDS cases.Results The lesions were bilateral and multiple,involving basal nuclei in 12 cases,thalamus in 3 cases,bilateral cerebral hemispheres near corticomedullary junction in 1 case,and cerebellum and brain stem in 1 case.The lesions showed weak hypodensity on CT,and long T 1 and long T2 signal intensity on MRI,with marked peripheral edema effect.After contrast administration,the small ring or twist and target enhancement was seen in 12 cases,large ring enhancement-in 1 case.multiple focus in 15 cases and single focus in 2 cases;MRI was more sensitive in detecting a largest number of cerebral lesions than CT.Conclusion More small ring and twist,nodular,target enhancement are highly suggestive of toxoplasma encephalitis in the basal nuclei.Both CT and MRI are effective in diagnosing toxoplasma encephalitis,but MRI imaging without and with gadolinium is more sensitive than CT in the detection of toxoplasma encephalitis;MRI imaging may reveal a greater number of lesion when it is positive and so the detection rate of MRI is higher than that of CT.

Objective To explore the clinical diagnositic code(CDC)in ovarian endometrial cysts (OEC).Methods 218 cases of pelvic masses were investigated by use of symptoms,signs,B mode sonography and CA125.172 cases were diagnosed with OEC out of 218 cases,While 46 cases were ruled out by combination exploratory laparotomy and laparoscopy.Meanwhile we compared it with revisional american fertility society(r-AVS)including diagnosis and staging.Results The operation results of 218 cases were compared with the results of CDC and its Diagnositic Sensitiveness;Specificness;Positive predictive value;Negative predictive value;Diagnositic accordance rate as well as Diagnositic index of CDC were 96.4%,79.6%.93.0%,90.0%,91.7% and 73.4% respectively(χ2=127.818,P＜0.001).Further more,172 cases of OEC which diagnosed with CDC were further subdivided into three stages as 1,2,3 according to its score,mild;moderate;heavy and this stage category were compared with the category of AFS(Ⅰ-Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ),the Diagnositic accordance rate of two categories were 95.6%,95.6% and 83.0% respectively,No significant difference were found in Var.mitis and medium-sized(χ2=0,P＞0.05).but the Medium-sized and Gravis tape was significance(χ2=4.472,P＜0.05).Conclusion CDC has a better coincidence with operation in the diagnosis of OEC which can be used in the non-traumatic diagnosis and staging of OEC in clinic.

Objective To explore the surgical treatment for acute ulceration of gastric carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with ulceration of gastric carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.All the cases,60 male patients and 8 females with average age of 58 years,were admitted from Jan.1990 to Jan.2007,and divided into three groups randomly,i.e.repair gastrectomy group(control,n=27),partial gastrectomy group(n=21) and radical cure group(n=20).Of the 68 patients,30 cases were diagnosed as ulceration of gastric carcinoma before surgical operation,25 cases were diagnosed as suspected ulceration of gastric carcinoma and 13 cases were misdiagnosed as gastric ulcer.All the cases were undergone operation.The ulcerations located at the superior part(6 cases),middle part(12 cases) or inferior part(50 cases) of stomach.38 cases were on Borrmann Ⅱ,and the other 30 cases were on Borrmann Ⅲ.The postoperative survival time of the patients in partial and radical gastrectomy groups was compared with that of the patients in repair group.Results Twenty-seven patients underwent repair of ulceration;21 patients received partial gastrectomy and 20 received radical gastrectomy(R2 distal subtotal gastrectomy 8 cases,R3 distal subtotal gastrectomy 12 cases).Postoperative complication occurred in 7.4% of the total cases and the mortality was 5.9%.One-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 3.7%,0 and 0 in repair gastrectomy group;52.4%,23.8% and 0 in partial gastrectomy group;and 75.0%,55.0% and 10% in radical cure group.Their Survival time were 5.93?4.95 months in repair gastrectomy groups,28.33?16.44 months in partial gastrectomy groups and 35.25?20.36 months in radical cure groups,respectively(P

The effects of ATP-sensitive mitochondrial K(+) channel (mitoK(ATP)) on mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), cell proliferation and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα) expression in airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) were investigated. Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were immunized with saline (controls) or ovalbumin (OVA) with alum (asthma models). ASMCs were cultured from the lung of control and asthma rats. ASMCs were treated with diazoxide (the potent activator of mitoK(ATP)) or 5-hydroxydencanote (5-HD, the inhibitor of mitoK(ATP)). Rhodamine-123 (R-123) was used to detect Δψm. The expression of PKCα protein was examined by using Western blotting, while PKCα mRNA expression was detected by using real-time PCR. The proliferation of ASMCs was measured by MTT assay and cell cycle analysis. In diazoxide-treated normal ASMCs, the R-123 fluorescence intensity, protein and mRNA levels of PKCα, MTT A values and percentage of cells in S phase were markedly increased as compared with untreated controls. The ratio of G(0)/G(1) cells was decreased (P<0.05) in diazoxide-treated ASMCs from normal rats. However, there were no significant differences between the ASMCs from healthy rats treated with 5-HD and the normal control group. In untreated and diazoxide-treated ASMCs of asthmatic rats, the R-123 fluorescence intensity, protein and mRNA levels of PKCα, MTT A values and the percentage of cells in S phase were increased in comparison to the normal control group. Furthermore, in comparison to ASMCs from asthmatic rats, these values were considerably increased in asthmatic group treated with diazoxide (P<0.05). After exposure to 5-HD for 24 h, these values were decreased as compared with asthma control group (P<0.05). In ASMCs of asthma, the signal transduction pathway of PKCα may be involved in cell proliferation, which is induced by the opening of mitoK(ATP) and the depolarization of Δψm.

BAFF is an essential ligand essential for survival and differentiation of peripheral B cells. By interacting with three receptors, BAFF can promote B cell maturation and class switching, enhance humoral immunity and T cell co-stimulation. Over-expression of BAFF leads to autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in mouse model. Treating the mice model with BAFF antagonists can slow-down disease progression and enhance survival rate. Moreover, in some SLE patients serum level of BAFF is elevated and correlated with serum anti-dsDNA titer. The preliminary clinical trial of anti-BAFF monoclonal antibody has shown to be safe and effective. BAFF antagonists are promising therapeutic drugs for SLE.

0.75).Conclusions The method of single-slice and multi-slice TSE sequence in T_2 measurement is feasible.For bone marrow and extremely long T_2 tissue(for instance,cerebrospinal fluid),however,there may be considerable discrepancy on T_2 values obtained by TSE sequence.

Objective:To summarize the current policies and measures in curbing health corruption in China, and to evaluate the implementation results of these policies and measures.Methods:We made a systematic review to search and screen the literatures, with related thematic information extracted, compared and classified to form an integrated view by the data integration method of thematic synthesis.Results:A total of 147 literatures were included, covering such health policies and measures as the basic drug system, the centralized bidding and purchasing and centralized drug purchasing, the " two-invoice system" , hospital information disclosure system, adverse records of commercial bribery, doctor′s virtue evaluation system and no bribery agreement. These five policies and measures prove effective in curbing the corruption, but some types of corruption tend to evade such restrictions.Conclusions:The five types of policy measures summarized in the study have effectively curbed the high risk exposure of corruptions found in drugs, medical consumables and medical devices, and also guided and restrained the profit-oriented behaviors of the behavior subjects. Stronger measures should be integrated into a broader reform of the healthcare system, in combination with institutional compensation and operational mechanism reform, medical personnel compensation and incentive system, and modern pluralistic governance reform. Meanwhile, studies in the field of corruption need to focus on the direct and indirect effects of multi-level medical reform policies on corruption governance from an integrated perspective, while attention needs to cover more types of corruption behaviors, and to diversify research methods, so as to provide more practical policy support.
