Objective To discuss the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in severity assessment and prognosis prediction of diffuse axonal injury (DAI). Methods A retrospective study was performed on the clinical imaging data and the follow-up results at six months after injury in 29 patients with DAI. The detection rate of DAI lesion by DWI and conventional MRI was compared by means of one-way ANOVA. The correlation between the number of lesion in different areas with GCS and GOS was analyzed with Spearman rank correlation test. Results (1)The average detected DAI lesions were 19.24±5.72 on DWI, 14.41 ±4.50 on FLAIR, 10.58±3.79 on T2WI and 4.83 ±2. 11 on TIWI, with the highest detection number of DAI lesion on DWI (P < 0, 05). (2) There was a significant correlation of the number of central lesions (in corpus callosum, basal ganglia and brain stem) with GCS and COS (P < 0. 05), but there was no correlation of total lesion number or periphery lesion with GCS and COS (P > 0.05). Conclusions DWI is a potentially useful imaging modality in detecting DAI lesion, when the number of central lesion on DWI can be served as an objective marker in severity assessment and prognosis prediction of DAI.

Glycated hemoglobin is internationally recognized as the gold standard for assessment of long-term glycemic status in diabetic patients,but our determination of glycosylated hemoglobin standardization work is still at primary stage at present.Consistency and accuracy of glycated hemoglobin results are still needed to be solved.

Pain due to chronic soft tissue injury of the neck and shoulder is a commonly encountered and frequently occurring condition. Traditional Chinese medicine is a common course of treatment for soft tissue injury and may have better therapeutic effects than biomedical options.

Objective To establish the crystal violet plaque assay for detection of virus titer of recombined Tiantan vaccinia AIDS vaccine,and provide more stable method of virus titration for rTV AIDS Vaccine.Methods Optimized the concentration of Vero cells,the time and temperature of virus adsorption,and the time of determination for CPE,then established the crystal violet plaque assay for virus titer of rTV.Counting and analysis the plaques by BioSpot Reader,then analyzed the relativity of plaques counted with BioSpot Reader and manual; Several lots rTV AIDS Vaccine and Tiantan vaccinia were titrated by the method of plaque formation-hemadsorption assay,neutral red and crystal violet plaque assay,then analyzed the relativity of the results of three methods ; meanwhile,the virus titer of samples were determine repeatedly by the crystal violet plaque assay,then calculated the coefficient of variation( CV),and verified the precision of the method; SPSS17.0 was used in statistical analysis of the experimental results.Results When the concentration of Vero cells was 5.0×105-9.O×105 cells/ml,virus been adsorbesd 2 h at 37℃,then cultivated 72 h after adding the culture medium containing methyl cellulose.Plaques counted by BioSpot Reader was highly related with counted by manual (r =0.985),so BioSpot Reader counting can objectively reflect the virus plaques with various size,and reduce the error by manual counting; compared the virus titration for different lots of rTV AIDS vaccine and Tiantan vaccinia with three methods,the crystal violet plaque assay was highly related with plaque formation-hemadsorption assay (r =0.997,P＜0.01 ) and neutral red plaque assay(r=0.980,P＜0.01 ).Conclusion Crystal violet plaque assay was established for virus titration of rTV AIDS Vaccine.

tralateral parietal lobe. Conclusions CIMT can improve the patients' upper-limb function effectively. The constraint-induced movement of the affected arm during CIMT appears to induce cortical reorganization and compensation as measured by fMRL

Objective:To study the effect of CsA on CD4+CD25+T cells from DO11.10 mice after immunization with OVA.Methods:The amount of spleen CD4+CD25+T cells and Foxp3+T cells was detected by means of flow cytometry (FCM).Results:After immunization with OVA,the ratios of CD4+CD25+T cells to CD4+T cells and Foxp3+T cells to CD4+CD25+T cells elevated in spleen,but CsA significantly decreased the percentage of CD4+CD25+T cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+T cells under either naive state or immune reaction state.Conclusion:CsA inhibits immune responses,while it also suppresses immune tolerance.

Objective:To investigate the suppression effect and apoptosis of the colon cell line HT-29 treated with adenovirus-expressed human hyperplasia suppressor gene(hHSG)and hyperthermia.Methods:Replication-defective recombinant adenovirus containing hHSG was constructed,and then infected into HT-29 cell line to detect its overexpression by western blot.The synergic effect with hyperthermia was observed,cell survival was assessed using Vi-CELL TMXR Cell Viability Analyzer,and cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry.Results:After the cells were treated with 100 MOI(multiplicity of infection)Ad5-hHSG and heated at 42 ℃ for 1 h,the number of viable cells decreased sharply,compared with single treatment with Ad5-hHSG or 42 ℃ for 1 h(P

Objective] To determine the nucleotide sequence of the 3′\|termal of the RESA gene Plasmodium falciparum isolate FCC1/HN, and find out the differences of the sequences of RESA gene among isolate FCC1/HN,FC27,NF7 and Palo Alto. [Methods] 3′\|terminal fragment of RESA gene of P.falciparum isolate FCC1/HN was amplified by PCR method, then was cloned into pMD18\|T vector. The recombinant was screened and identified by BamHI+XhoI and PCR technique. The nucleotide sequence of the 3′\|terminal of the RESA gene was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. DNASTAR and BLAST software were used to compare and analyze the RESA gene sequences among the different isolates. [Results] The 3′\|termal fragment of the RESA gene with about 846 bp was specifically amplified by PCR, the recombinant pMD18\|T\|RESA was successfully constructed. Different degrees of diversity of the RESA gene sequences were found among P.falciparum isolates FCC1/HN、FC27,NF7 and Palo Alto. [Conclusion] There were differences in the sequences of RESA gene among the P.falciparum isolate FCC1/HN and three other isolates (FC27,NF7 and Palto alto).

Objective To investigate the evidence of cortical reorganization in stroke hemiplegia treated with constraint-induced movement therapy(CIMT)by fMRI.Methods Five patients with chronic stroke were evaluated with the Action Research Arm Test(ARAT).The functional MRI(fMRI)was performed on a 3.0-T MRI with echo-planar imaging.The subjects were required to finish the finger-tapping task and undergo fMRI before and after CIMT.A block design was used for the inspection.Results After CIMT,the function of upper limb(sick side)of patients improved significantly assessed by ARAT(P<0.001),and cortical reorganization was found on fMRI.Conclusion CIMT can improve motor function of upper limb of chronic stroke patients with hemiplegia and induce cortical reorganization as measured by fMRI.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of amitriptyline with manipulative therapy for episode tension-type headache (ETTH). Methods 62 patients were randomized into 2 groups: amitriptyline group, amitriptyline with manipulative therapy group. Numbers of days with headache(NDH) and days with medication(NDM), intensity of the headache(IH) between the two weeks before randomisation and 1～2, 3～4 weeks after randomization were recorded by participants in headache diaries. Results In the first 2 weeks after treatment, the NDH in amitriptyline group and amitriptyline with manipulative therapy group were (6.00±2.21) d and (4.19±1.70) d respectively (P<0.05), while in the second 2 weeks, they were (4.00±1.86) d and (2.16±1.21) d respectively (P<0.05). The NDM in amitriptyline group and amitriptyline with manipulative therapy group were (1.77±1.23) d and (1.32±1.22) d respectively in the first 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significantly difference between the two groups in the second 2 weeks. The IH (with Visual Analog Scale) were(3.32±0.94) and (2.39±1.33)respectively (P<0.05) in the second 2 weeks. Conclusion Amitriptyline with manipulative therapy is better than amitriptyline alone in reducing the symptoms of episode tension type headache.
