Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of DCE-MRI and breast MR reporting and data system(BI-RADS-MR)in differentiation of breast lesions. Methods Seventy-five patients with 75 pathological-confirmed breast lesions underwent DCE-MRI before treatment and DCE-MRI quantitative analysis. Two senior doc-tors assessed the imaging features blindly by BI-RADS-MR. The pathology results were set as a gold standard. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)interpretation of two physician′s curve analysis was used to evaluate the sensitivity,specificity of BI-RADS classification. Results According to the BI-RADS MR score,38 breast cancer patients were rated as 1 case in grade Ⅰ,0 case in grade Ⅱ,4 cases in gradeⅢ,13 cases in gradeⅣ,20 cases in grade V;37 breast benign tumors were rated as 17 cases in grade Ⅰ,5 cases in grade Ⅱ,12 cases in gradeⅢ,3 cases in gradeⅣandⅤ0 cases. The statistical difference of Tpeak,S max,K1 between benign and malig-nant breast tumors were significant(P<0.05). On ROC,the area under the curve was 0.940,95%confidence in-terval was from 0.887 to 0.994. The sensitivity of BI-RADS in the diagnosis of breast cancer was 94.59%and speci-ficity was 92.11%. Conclusion DCE-MRI combined with BI-RADS-MR classification in diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors has an important value and can improve diagnosis and differential diagnosis level.

Objective:
To investigate the mediating effect of parent-child conflict on paternal phubbing and externalizing behavior problems in children, so as to provide insights into the prevention and interventions of childhood externalizing behavior problems.
Methods:
The fathers of children at ages of 3 to 6 years were sampled from seven kindergartens in Liaoning Province and one kindergartens in Sichuan Province using a convenience sampling method in June 2021. The Generic Scale of Phubbing, the Parent-child Relationship Scale, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire in Children were employed. The mediating effect of parent-child conflict on paternal phubbing and externalizing behavior problems in children was examined using a structural-equation model and Bootstrap method.
Results:
A total of 583 questionnaires were allocated, and 531 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 91.08%. The fathers had a mean age of (34.86±8.39) years, and 172 fathers had an educational level of bachelor degree and above (32.39%) and 285 had a single child (53.67%). Among paternal phubbing questions, the mean scores of nomophobia, interpersonal conflict, self-isolation and problem acknowledgement dimensions were (3.71±1.53), (2.02±1.18), (2.26±1.29) and (3.07±1.38), respectively, and the mean score of parent-child conflict was (2.25±0.82). Among all childhood externalizing behavior questions, the mean scores of conduct and attention deficits/hyperactivity dimensions were (0.31±0.26) and (0.82±0.46), respectively. Paternal phubbing posed an direct positive effect on childhood externalizing behavior problems (β=0.165, P=0.005), and indirectly affected childhood externalizing behavior problems (β=0.449, P<0.001) via parent-child conflict (β=0.358, P<0.001). The mediating effect of father-child conflict was 0.161 (95%CI: 0.104-0.221), and was contributed 49.39% to the total effect.
Conclusions
Parent-child conflict plays a partial mediating role in the association between paternal phubbing and childhood externalizing behavior problems. Paternal phubbing may directly affect childhood externalizing behavior problems, and may indirectly affect childhood externalizing behavior problems through the positive effect on parent-child conflict.

Objective To evaluation the efficacy of ketamine on the expression of adhension molecular CR3and intracellular cAMP, cGMP in neutrephils in patients associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), as well as the cardiovascular function of the CPB patients. Method Sixty patients operated on with prosthetic valve replace-rnent under CPB were randomly divided into 4 groups: placebo, ketamine 0.1 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅰ) ,ketamine 0.5 mg/kg ( ketamine Ⅱ) ,ketamine 1 mg/kg( ketamine Ⅲ). Each group included 15 eases. Venous blood sam-pies were obtained during anesthesia induction (T1), 10 min before CPB (T2), end of CPB (T3) and 24 hoursafter operation (T4). The expression of CR3 was measured by Flow cytometry and the concentration of cAMP/cGMP by HPLC. Results Ketamine with various dosages decreased the expression of CR3 at the T3 and T4 inpatients of ketamine groups compared with patients of placebo group (P<0.05). The dosages of ketamine Ⅱgroup and ketamine Ⅲ group had more significant effect than that of ketamine Ⅰ group. The dosages of ketamineⅡ and ketamine Ⅲ group increased the intracellular cAMP at the T3 and T4 compared with ketamine Ⅰ groupand placebo (p<0.05), respectively. However,cGMP was lower in ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group thanthat in ketamine Ⅰ group and placebo (P<0.05) at the T3.Morever,the mean arterial blood pressure was higherin ketamine Ⅱ and ketamine Ⅲ group at T4. Only the patients of ketamine Ⅲ group required less inotropic drugsafter operation. Conclusions Ketamine can reduce the expression of adhhension molecular CB3 and intracellularcAMP, cGMP in neutrophils from patients associated with CPB.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of glomus tumor and its differential diagnosis. Methods Clinical, morphologie and immunohistoehemical representations were described in 11 cases of glomus tumor. Results The tumors were located at the hyponychial in 7 cases, forearm subcutaneous in 2 cases, knee subcutaneous in 1 case, gastric antrum forewall in 1 cases. Localized pain was the primary symptom. 9 giomus tumors were histopathologically classified as solid type, and 2 glomangiomatous type. The prominent morphologic features of glomus tumor were as follows: the tumor cells were small, round, uniform, the tumor cells arranged around capillary vessel or expansion of the small vein showing nest pattern,some tumor cells in fasciation pattern; focally myxoid change in the stroma were seen. Immunohistochemistry: 11 cases were positive for SMA and Vimentin; while other markers including CK, CD117, CD34, CgA, Syn, Desmin, S-100 and HMB45, were all negative. All 11 cases were without any evidence of recurrence or metastasis in followed-up for 12-30 months. Conclusion Glomus tumor is extremely rare. The diagnosis depends on the histology and immunohistochemistry. Glomus tumor is rare in visceral sites. It may be misdiagnosed and needs to he differentiated from other tumors.

Objective To explore the relationship between the proliferation of neural stem cells (NSCs)and the expression of β-catenin protein in neonate rats with hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD) after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Methods One hundred and eighty Sprague-Dawley rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a normal control group (CON) , a HIBD model group and a HBO treatment group. The HIBD model was induced using Rice's method. Beginning 3h after the HIBD, HBO was administered to the HBO treatment group at 2 atmospheres for 60 min, once daily for 7 days. The HIBD model group was not given any treatment. The expression of nestin/β-catenin protein in the subventricular zone of the ischemic brain was double-stained for immunofluorescence and analyzed by confocal scanning microscopy dynamically at 3 hours, 21 hours, and then on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 14th day of HBO therapy. The expression of whole cell β-catenin and nuclear β-catenin protein in the left brain were also examined by Western blotting at these 6 time points. Linear correlation was used to analyze the correlation between β-catenin and nestin protein. Results The expression of β-catenin protein in NSCs increased initially at the 21st hour after HBO therapy in the model group and the HBO group as compared with the normal control group.β-catenin protein in the model group reached a higher level, though there was no significant difference between model group and the HBO group. At the 5th day of HBO therapy β-catenin protein in the HBO group had reached a significantly higher level than in the model group. At the 14th day the average expression of β-catenin in the HBO group began to decrease. The expression of nestin protein began to increase 21 hours after HBO therapy began, and it peaked at the 7th day of HBO therapy and then decreased. In the HBO group the increase in nestin protein was linearly correlated with that of β-catenin protein. The whole cell β-catenin protein and β-catenin nucleic protein readings increased initially by the 21st hour of HBO therapy and by the 5th day were significantly higher than the levels in the model group. Conclusion HBO treatment is capable of stimulating the proliferation of NSCs in HIBD neonate rats.The proliferation of NSCs is correlated with the activation of β-catenin protein.
