Objective To study the type variation of microglial activation in spinal dorsal horn of rats after sciatic nerve injury.Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control and experimental groups, 24 rats in each group.The experimental group underwent ligation of sciatic nerve trunk to generate nerve injury in the rats.The pain behavior in the rats was measured at the 1th, 7th and 14th postoperative days, and the changes of microglial activation in the rat lumbar spinal cord dorsal horn was detected by immunofluorescence staining.qRT-PCR assay was used to validate the activation trends of M1 and M2 types of microglia cells.Results No significant changes were found in the microglial cells in the spinal cord dorsal horn of rats in the sham-operation group during 14 days after operation.In the sciatic nerve ligation group at 1 day after operation, no significant change was observed in the number of microglial cells, but the expression of marker of M1 microglia was significantly increased.At 7 and 14 days after operation, the number of microglial cells and the expression of M1 microglia marker in the spinal cord dorsal horn were increased significantly.Conclusions Microglia activation in the spinal dorsal horn starts at the first day after sciatic nerve injury, and lasts at least for two weeks after the operation.M1 microglia activation dominates during this period.

A set of Mushroom Shaped Surface Prosthesis of Femoral Head was designed. Methods Based on biomechanical of the femoral head and the principle of transferring the force through femoral head while reducing stress-sheltered, nickel-titanium alloy and other new medical alloy materials were used to develop a prosthesis, which not only can be a weight-bearing device, but also promotes bone-growth. Results The prosthesis is novel, compact and little-volume, and the manipulation of surgery is convenient and secure. Conclusion The design of this prosthesis can provide new ways or ideas for designing the femoral head replacement prosthesis to solve problems on loosening and subsidence.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electroacupuncture on IL-1β in brain tissue of rats after total cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.MethodsThirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, model group and acupuncture group, in each group. In acupuncture group and model group, 4-vessel-occlusion method was used to make a rat model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion. Acupuncture group used electroacupuncture on points Quchi and Zusanli, 6 hours after reperfusion. The rats of each group were killed and ELISA was used for the measurement of IL-1β in brain tissues.ResultsIL-1β in brain tissue in model group increased significantly compared with sham operation group and acupuncture group(P<0-001). No significant differences were found between sham operation group and acupuncture group (P>0-05).ConclusionAcupuncture can lower IL-1β content of brain tissue of rats with brain ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Objective To study the imaging findings of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (PLC) and discuss it′s clinical value. Methods The imaging materials of 40 cases with PLC which were proved by bronchoscopic or pleural or open-lung biopsy were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical application of imaging diagnosis were investigated. Results The primary tumorous pathological types of PLC included:13 cases peripheral type carcinoma of lung,2 cases central type carcinoma of lung,11 cases mammary cancer,6 cases gastric carcinoma,4 cases pancreatic carcinoma,3 cases renal carcinoma,1 case colon carcinoma. The major imaging features of PLC were showed as pleural nodes, lobular core nodes, intralobular small reticular and nodular shadows, small beaded thickened interlobular septums, beaded thickened bronchovascular bundles, tumescent pulmonary hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes. Conclusion PLC possess relative imaging feature, particularly HRCT may accurately reflect pathological feature of PLC. Imaging diagnosis is a satisfactory method in diagnosing pulmonary lymphangial metastasis of malignant tumor.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their correlation. Methods Real-time PCR was used to determine the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA in 43 de novo ALL and 30 non-malignant patients (used as control). Results The positivity rate of CDX2 mRNA expression in ALL group was 93%, but CDX2 mRNA expression couldn′t be detected in the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of β-catenin could be detected in patients in both two groups, butβ-catenin mRNA expression in the ALL group was significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.01). And mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were significantly correlated with WBC counts and LDH level (P<0.01). When the ALL patients acquired complete remission (CR), the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin were significantly decreased compared with their newly diagnosed status , while disease-relapsed the mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were increased again. There was significantly positive correlation between CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA expressions (r = 0.835, P = 0.000). Conclusion Up-regulation of CDX2 and activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway coexist in the ALL patients and the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin are positively correlated.

Esophageal submucosal hematoma is rarely seen in clinical practice and its clinical presentations are untypical.Gastroscopy might injure the esophageal mucosa and cause bleeding.Computed tomography had the advantages of quick examination and formation of imaging,as well as non-invasiveness,which is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the esophageal submucosal hematoma.The clinical data of 9 patients with esophageal submucosal hematoma who were admitted to the Yueqing People's Hospital,the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University,the First Affiliated Hospital of the Zhengzhou University and the Third People's Hospital of Wenzhou from July 2005 to February 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The features of computed tomography examination of esophageal submocosal hematoma include the range of the esophageal submucosal hematoma exceeds 2 parts of the esophagus,the rip of the esophageal mucosa begins and ends at the physiological narrowing of the esophagus,thickening of the esophageal wall,stricture of the esophagus,annular thickening and eccentric thickening of the esophageal wall,crescent,spot or gas shadows of the esophageal cavity,the density of the hematoma decreases as the time passed by.These features of computed tomography are of great importance for the diagnosis of esophageal submucosal hematoma.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD). Methods Totally 234 subjects underwent coronary angiography, including 148 men and 86 women with complete data on metabolic syndrome ( MS) and abdominal ultrasonography; the mean age was 66. 6 years. The severity of CAD was assessed by coronary stenosis index (CSI). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to the Guideline on Prevention and Treatment of Blood lipid Abnormality in Chinese Adults. Results Ultrasonography revealed that 62 patients had NAFLD (26. 5%). In patients with NAFLD, the prevalence of central obesity was higher than those without NAFLD (75. 8% vs 50. 0% , P< 0.01). With regards to age, CAD patients with NAFLD were more common in patients under 60 years (27.4% vs 13.7% , P=0.005). CSI score was similar in CAD subgroup and CAD & NAFLD subgroup (P>0.05), however the age of patients in CAD & NAFLD subgroup was significantly lower compared to CAD subgroup ( P = 0.006). According to the results of logistic regression, central obesity was the independent risk factor of NAFLD (β= 1.701, P<0.001). Logistic regression demonstrated that age was independently associated with CAD (β = 0.032, P=0.027). Further more, multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age was the single parameter that best predicted CSI score (β= 0. 125, P = 0. 022). Conclusions It is important to screen coronary artery disease in middle aged patients with central obesity or NAFLD.
