Depression is a common mental disorder with high incidence rate and low remission rate.The prediction of therapeutic effect in depression is limited to clinical features and neuroimaging.Reviewed the Results of magnetic resonance imaging for predicting the treatment response in depression and explored the Objective image markers for predicting the therapeutic effect in depression.It showed that the studies mainly focused on emotion regulation neural circuitry and few on reward neural circuitry.Prefrontal cortex,cingulate cortex,amygdala and hippocampus play important roles on predicting therapeutic effect.The study of magnetic resonance imaging for predicting therapeutic effect in depression is a feasible research field.More researches of finding the role of reward neural circuits in predicting the effect of antidepressants are needed.The brain structure and function of the neural circuits involved in depression and predicting the effect of anti-depression need to be studied by multimodal MRI method.

Objective To investigete the effect of low-concentration ozone (O3) on voltage-gated calcium channels in fetal rat spinal cord neurons in vitro. Methods The spinal cord neurons were cultured in vitro and identified by immunohistochemistry staining. Then the cells were seeded into the culture dish and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (group C, n = 5), O3 15 μg/ml (group O3-15, n = 4) and O3 20 μg/ml group (group O3-20, n = 8). The cells were exposed to O3 15 and 20 μg/ml in group O3-15 and O3-20 respectively, while the cells were exposed to air in group C. After 20 min incubation, the electrophysiological activity of calcium channels in neurons was recorded using whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Results Peak calcium current density was significantly increased in group O3-15 and O3-20 compared with group C ( P ＜ 0.05). Half-activation voltage was significantly lower in group O3-15 and O3-20 than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05). Peak calcium current density was significantly higher in group O3 -20 than in group O3-15 ( P ＜ 0.05) . There was no significant difference in half-inactivation voltage among the three groups ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Low concentration of O3 can make the activation of the calcium ion channel easy in fetal rat spinal cord neurons in vitro.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Sky Bone Expander System in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures in the elderly.MethodsTwenty-five cases (26 vertabrals)with osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures were treated by Sky Bone Expander System.ResultsAll the 25 cases completed the surgery successfully,with an average operation duration of 35 min (range:30 -60 min).We injected 2.7 -4.5 ml bone cement to each vertebrae with an average of 3.5 ml.No blood vessels and nerves damage or other complications were found.The height of vertebral was restored.ConclusionSky Bone Expander System could effectively treat osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures in the elderly.The height of vertebral could rebound and kyphosis could be improved.Furthermore,Sky Bone Expander System could relieve pain and reduce the leakage of bone cement

Objective To construct a geometric skull model by using three-dimensional reconstruction, computer tomography scanning and rapid prototyping technology and evaluate its significance in treatment of complex oral and maxillofacial deformities. Methods A cranial and a goldenhar syndrome patient with complex oral and maxillofacial deformities bone received continuous volumetric scanning of skull and the data acquisition was done by an electron computed tomography, by which reconstruction was performed and the obtained images saved as STL files. Then the data were input into rapid prototyping machine to make three-dimensional geometric model. Direct measurement, designation and surgery simulation could be done on this three-dimensional model. Then the mandibular mirror physical model was manufactured using rapid prototyping according to the normal side. Results A computer-aided model according to CT data could represent the three-dimensional anatomic structures and their relationships precisely. The replica exhibited dimensional errors ranging 0.02 mm to 0.53 mm. Which provided strong basis for accurate understanding of disease status and reasonable surgical plans and helped improve the curative effect of surgery. Conclusion Rapid prototyping can help surgeons in many ways for therapy of the complex oral and maxillofacial deformities.

Thirty-three patients with esophageal carcinoma (T3N1M0 or less) underwent thoracoscopic surgery in lateral prone position for esophagectomy from February 2010 to November 2012.Their postoperative outcomes and survivals were retrospectively analyzed.The results confirmed the feasibility and safety of this mini-invasive thoracoscopic procedure in lateral prone position for patients with esophageal carcinoma.A possible advantage of lateral prone technique is that in case of an emergency switch to open surgery,precious time may be saved in changing body position.

Objective To reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) image of heart and coronary artery on internet and explore the reliability. Methods After the contrast medium was injected into coronary artery of 2 heart specimens, hearts were scanned by UFCT with enhancement volume. One patient's UFCT images of coronary artery angiography were also chosen.Then the primitive images were transposed format, removed noise, specified interesting areas. 3D software on server was applied to reconstruct heart and coronary artery. Results The reconstructed 3D images of the heart and coronary artery were realistically displayed, freely rotated and transected.Main parts and branches of coronary artery were similar to those in the images of the UFCT. Conclusion Heart and coronary artery can be reconstructed on internet,which offers a new approach for reconstructing organs and tissues of human being.;

Objective To evaluate the prognostic impact of a wide spectrum of pathologic parameters in a consecutive series of homogenously treated and well-characterized patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, and to investigate the prognostic value of lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) in disease-free survival rate detected by immunohistochemistry with epithelial membrane antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen. Methods The study included 126 patients operated on by a single surgeon for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal tumors. The postoperative follow-up was performed for 64 to 106 months. At least 10 lymph nodes were harvested and examined in all the specimens. The prognostic value of 10 pathologic parameters, including lymph node occult disease (micrometastasis) detected by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Results Multivariate analysis identified lymphatic vessel invasion (absent or present;P=0.009) in lymph node positive and negative by immunohistochemistry. The five-year disease-free survival rates were 78.7%, 65.5% and 43.8% for the lymph node negative, isolated tumor cells and micrometastasis groups, respectively. There was significant difference between the lymph node negative and micrometastasis groups (P=0.005). However, the difference between the lymph node negative and isolated tumor cells groups was not statistically significant (P=0.144). Conclusions We propose that for patients found micrometastasis in lymph node with high-risk stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer, adjuvant therapies are justified and effective.

Motion segment and extraction from continuous signals is the premise of surface electromyography (sEMG) analysis. For the problem that sEMG energy threshold required repeated manual testing to set, this the paper established a this mathematical model of continuous actions based on Gaussian sEMG energy curve, in which the energy threshold was set according to the distribution of Gaussian signal section, and differentiated the action signals from no-action signals combined with energy comparison method. The experiment results showed the method can achieve continuous repetitive action segmentation, and compared with manual segmentation of the same signal, has a higher degree of coincidence.
