Objective To observe and analyze the correlation between the DNA methyltransferase-3B (DNMT3B) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs 1569686 and the susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) in Tianjin Han population.Methods A case-control study was performed.89 CRC patients and 94 normal controls were examined,and Sequenom MassArray system was applied to detect the genotype of rs1569686 in DNMT3B gene polymorphisms.The association results were analyzed of the SNP and CRC.Results The frequencies of genotypes TT,GT and GG at SNP rs1569686 were 74.2％,24.7％ and 1.1％ in CRC patients respectively,which there were no significant differences from that in controls(73.4％,23.4％ and 3.2％; P＞0.05).Conclusion It suggests that the SNP rs1569686 of DNMT3B gene may not be related to susceptibility of CRC in Tianjin Han population.

Objective To discuss X-ray, CT and MR findings of primary bone lymphoma. Methods The X-ray, CT and MR findings of 6 cases with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone proved pathologically were retrospectively analysed.Results The average age of 6 cases was 51 years old and the lesions all localized at long bone(especially the metadiaphysis) and pelvis. Imaging findings included: osteolytic or moth-eaten bone destruction,surrounding soft tissue mass formation which generally exceeded the extents of bony changes, the cortex bone was destructed and discontinuity.Conclusion primary bone lymphoma has prevalent age and certain imaging specificity.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of omapatrilat on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in culture. Methods Cultured HUVECs were randomly divided into 4 groups:①control; ②AngⅡ;③omapatrilat and ④AngⅡ+omapatrilat. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage was evaluated by spectrophotometer and cell cycle by flow cytometry (FCM); Nitric oxide (NO) was measured by colorimetry and endothelin-1 (ET-1) by radioimmunoassay. Results 10 -7 mol?L -1 AngⅡ significantly increased LDH leakage and ET-1 release, and this increase was inhibited by omapatrilat (10 -6 mol?L -1). Omapatrilat promoted HUVECs proliferation and NO release. Conclusion Omapatrilat can protect human umbilical vein endothelial cells injury induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in culture, suggesting that it may play an important role in prevention and treatment of vascular diseases.

Objective To develop an alignment technique based on the movement of body gravity center. Methods As join forces in the system of balance is zero, the position of body gravity center can be calculated by body gravity which is taken from weight sensors, by the special software. Meanwhile, the position of body gravity will be sent to control unit, which can be transformed to driving signal of motor. The sliding table with laser, linked to motor, can make pursuit movement following with body gravity. A precise alignment can be made as the movement of body gravity. The balance function test is also used to make an assistant estimate for the alignment. Results and Conclusion An alignment technique has been developed for the fit of prosthesis and orthotics.

Objective To analyze the imaging performances and significance of Modic changes on X-ray,CT and MRI.Methods The imaging data (MR,CT and X-ray)of patients with low back pain were retrospectively analyzed.The selected patients’images were studied on the same work station by the two physician experts in muscle and bone imaging.A double-blind method was used. Firstly,MRI was used to sort the MC.Then,the alterations of the density in the lesions on X-ray plain film and CT image were measured.if the judgments of the two readers were inconsistent,another professor of radiology will join the discussion and consist-ent results will be got finally.The data were recorded using Excel 2010,and processed for statistical analysis using SPSS 1 6.0.Re-sults A total of 47 cases that met the requirements were collected which included 1 6 males and 31 females,aged from 32 to 76 years,with a median age of 56.0 years.A total of 93 on MRI endplate were changed.However,a part of lumbar endplates with MC on MRI images were displayed as higher density than normal vertebral body on the X-ray and CT reconstruction images (total of 36).The occurrence rates of Type Ⅰ,Type Ⅱ,Type Ⅰ/Ⅱ were 40.0%,14.8%,58.3%,respectively.But the occurrence rate of Type Ⅲ (100%)and hybrid Type which contained type Ⅲ were 100%.Conclusion Some Modic typeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅰ/Ⅱchanges in X-ray plain film, CT reconstruction images had a higher density,speculating that there is reactive new bone formation,which reflects the internal ver-tebral body bone mineralized rather than the change of the bone marrow.

Objective To evaluate the endocrine glands derived VEGF (EG-VEGF) influence on growth, migration and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells MiaPaCa Ⅱ. Methods MiaPaCa Ⅱ were treated by 100,200 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 24, 48, 72, 96 h, and MTT assay was used to determine the proliferation; and cell scratch experiment was used to investigate the percentage of cell migration distance, flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptosis of the cancer cells. Results After MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells were treated by 0, 100,200 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 72 h, the proliferation of MiaPaCa Ⅱ was 0. 253 ± 0. 012 , 0. 374 ± 0.013,0. 383 ±0.015, respectively EG-VEGF could significantly promote the proliferation of MiaPaCa Ⅱ ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). After MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells were treated by 0, 100 ng/ml EG-VEGF for 24 h, the percentage of cell migration distance was (27.40 ± 3.45 ) % and ( 13.21 ±4.65 ) % ,respectively with statistical difference ( P ＜ 0.05 ), EG-VEGF could significantly promote the migration ability of MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells and inhibite the apoptosis. Conclusions After EG-VEGF treatment, the growth and migration ability of MiaPaCa Ⅱ cells increases, apoptosis decreases.

AIM: To observe the changes of bone in female Sprague Dawley rats aged 4.5 and 7.5 months. METHODS: Forty 4 month old virgin female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4.5 month group and 7.5 month group. Bone histomorphometric analysis of the proximal tibial metaphysis (PTM), tibial shaft (Tx) and the fifth lumbar vertebral body (LV5) was performed in undecalcified sections. RESULTS: There was no significant change in bone volume of PTM, LV5 and Tx between 4.5 and 7.5 months of age. However, the bone formation parameters (%L.Pm, MAR, BFR/TV, BFR/BV, BFR/BS) of LV5 and Tx fall rapidly between 4.5 and 7.5 months of age. CONCLUSION: There is no significant change in cancellous and cortical bone mass, but the bone formation of LV5 and Tx decreases in female Sprague Dawley rats aged from 4.5 to 7.5 months.

Objective To identify related anatomical parameters and the strongest risk predictor leading to patients with recurrent patellar instability.Methods 52 young patients with recurrent patellar instability that failed of conservative treatment were retrospec-tively evaluated by MRI.Measurements included parameters of patellar tracking,which was characterized by bisect offset index (BSO),trochlear congruence angle (CA)and patellar lateral tilt (PTA),and anatomical parameters of patellofemoral joint,which were characterized by the sulcus angle (SA),lateral trochlear inclination (LTI),trochlear facet asymmetry,trochlear depth,Insall-Salvati Ratio (ISR),Caton-Deschamps index (C-D)and tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG)distance.The collection data were analyzed including the Pearson's correlation and multiple stepwise regression analysis.Results The patellofemoral joint ma-lalignment was significantly correlated with LTI,TT-TG distance and ISR,but not or partly with the trochlear depth,SA,trochlear facet asymmetry and C-D.Linear regression models including LTI,TT-TG distance and ISR explained 0.58,0.47 and 0.43 of the va-riance in BSO,CA and PTA,respectively (P<0.001).And the standardized beta coefficient was largest for LTI,then were TT-TG distance and ISR.Conclusion At full extension of the knee,anatomical related factors measured on MRI explain some degree of re-current lateral patella shift and tilt,the strongest predictor among anatomical related factors that could lead to maltracking is LTI, and then are TT-TG distance and ISR.
