Objective To evaluate the clinical value of ultrasonography in diagnosis of benignPHand malignant thyroid nodules by binary Logistic regression model.Methods A retrospective analysis of 240 cases of thyroid nodules confirmed by pathology after operation excision was conducted.173 nodules were benign as control group,67 nodules were malignant as observation group.The ultrasonic features of thyroid nodules were collected.The factor had statistics significance by x2 test between the two groups were analyzed by binary Logistic regression.A logistic regression model was created.The ROC curve was drawn and the area under the curve was calculated.Results There were statistically significant differences among boundary,aspect ratio,shape,internal echo,calcification,acoustic halo,cervical lymphadenectasis between the control group and observation group(x2=45.392,7.590,30.039,24.168,37.406,6.893,16.078,all P<0.01).And after Logistic regression analysis,six variables that entered the regression equation were boundary(P=0.000,OR=8.437),aspect ratio(P=0.000,OR=12.816),microcalcification of the nodules(P=0.000,OR=8.893),shape(P=0.000,OR=8.791),internal echoes(P=0.001,OR=8.313)and cervical lymphadenectasis(P=0.001,OR=6.891).The accuracy of the model was 90.7%(223/246)in predicting malignant nodules in thyroid.The area under the ROC curve was(0.904±0.031).Conclusion The binary Logistic regression can be used to differentiate malignant and benign thyroid nodules,and make a more accurate judgment for the nodules in thyroid.

Objective To construct the RNAi vector targeting survivin gene, in order to observe its effect on lung adenoearcinoma A549 cell radiosensitivity, and explore the possible mechanism. Methods One pair of RNA interference sequence targeting survivin gene was designed according to the eDNA sequence, the recombinant RNAi plasmid pGenesil2-survivin was constructed. After certified by enzyme digestion and sequencing, the pGenesil2-survivin plasmid was transfected into A549 cells. Survivin mRNA and protein was measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The apoptosis was analyzed with flow cytometry. The radiosensitivity was measured by clone formation assay. Results The pGenesil2-survivin vector was successfully established. After the pGenesil2-survivin was transfeeted into A549 cells for 48 h, surviving protein and mRNA in pGenesil2 group were not obviously changed compared with that in normal group. They were increased after 5 Gy X-ray irradiation, but obviously inhibited in pGenesil2-survivin group. The cell apoptosis in pGenesil2-survivin and 5 Gy X-ray groups was obviously increased (t1 = 10.63, P < 0.001 ; t2 = 3.75 , P < 0.05), the effect was more manifest in combined group(t = 4.83, P < 0.05). D0 and Dq in normal and pC, enesil2 group were not obviously different, but those in pGenesil2-survivin group were lower. Conclusions RNAi targeting survivin gene could inhibit survivin mRNA and protein expression, enhance the A549 cell apoptosis rate and cell radiosensitivity.

BACKGROUND: A skull defect is inevitable after decompression treatment for traumatic brain injury. Titanium mesh as the most recognized skull repair material has good biocompatibility and has been widely used in clinical practice. However, the timing for skull repair after brain injury is still in dispute.OBJECTIVE: To compare the changes of brain perfusion and the recovery of neurological function in patients with skull defects before and after early and late-stage titanium mesh repair based on CT perfusion technique.METHODS: This was a single-center, prospective, observational clinical trial that was completed at the Taihe Hospital,Hubei University of Medicine in Hubei Province, China. Eighty-six patients with craniocerebral injury who had undergone decompression with removal of bone flap from January 2013 to January 2016 were recruited and subjected to skull repair using titanium mesh. All the patients were randomized into two groups: test group (n=40) with early skull repair within 1-3 months after decompression and control group (n=46) with late-stage skull repair within 6-12 months after decompression. CT perfusion technology was used to observe changes of brain perfusion at 3 days operatively and at 10 days postoperatively. The Barthel index was evaluated at 30 days postoperatively. The trial was registered with ClinicalTrial.gov (identifier: NCT03222297) on July 12th, 2017. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Taihe Hospital with the approval No. 2012 (08), and performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki,formulated by the World Health Organization and the hospital's ethical requirements for human research. All the patients and their families were voluntary to participate in the trial, were fully informed of the trial process, and then signed the informed consent prior to the initialization of the trial.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The postoperative cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow at the parietal cortex on the side of skull defect and at the cortex in the defect region were significantly higher in the two group than the baseline (P < 0.05), while the time to peak was lower than the baseline (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group,significantly higher cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow as well as shorter time to peak were observed in the test group (P < 0.05). The Barthel index of the test group was also significantly higher than that of the control group at 30 days postoepratively (P < 0.05). Overall, early skull repair with titanium mesh is helpful to improve the cerebral blood perfusion at the affected side and the recovery of neurological function. In addition, CT perfusion technology is a safe and effective method to monitor hemodynamic changes in the brain.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intrathecal injection of TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus on bone cancer pain(BCP) behaviors in rats.Methods40 female SD rats successfully received intrathecal catheter implantation and without motor dysfunction were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 in each group):Sham group (S),BCP group (B),negative control lentivirus group (C) and TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus group (T).Group B,C and T were induced bone cancer pain by intra-right-femur inoculation of Wallker 256 cells,while rats in group S were injected of inactivated cell.Rats in group T were intrathecally treated with 5 μl TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus while rats in group C received 5 μl negative lentivirus on 1~6 d after surgery.All the rats received pain behaviors including paw withdrawal thermal latency(PWTL) and paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) at 1 d before BCP and 1,3,6,9,12,15,18 and 21 d after BCP.L4~L6 spinal cords were reserved for RT-PCR and Western Blot.ResultsCompared with group S,PWTL and PWMT of group B were decreased (P<0.05).On the 9th day,PWTL of group T was higher than that of group C((17.52±2.15)s vs (14.36±1.67)s,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in PWMT between group T and group C((16.89±1.54)g vs (15.53±1.36)g,P>0.05).The results of RT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated that the expression of TPPV3 in group T was decreased compared with that in group C(P<0.05).ConclusionIntrathecal injection of TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus can inhibit the expression of TRPV3 and thus alleviate symptom of PWTL,but not PWMT.

Objective To investigate endplate shape in low lumbar spine in patients with herniated nucleus pulposus, and analyze the relationshipbetween endplate shape and herniation of intervertebral disc, Modic changes. Methods The preoperative MRI of 110 patients wasreviewed. The endplate shape was divided into 3 types. Disc degeneration was classified with the Pfirrmann's way. Results Concave typewas the most common in the lower lumbar spine. Flat was more prevalent in lower than in upper. The L5~S1 segment was flat in most cases.Irregular type was the least and mainly appeared at the L5~S1 segment. Disc degeneration worsened from concave, flat, to irregular. Herniatedintervertebral disc dominated with flat and irregular endplates, and no-herniated ones dominated with concave. Modic changes more associatedwith irregular endplates. Conclusion Endplate shape may respond to the disc degeneration. Modic changes associate with irregularendplate.
