Objective To observe the pathologic changes of the rabbit sciatic nerves after the exposure of high intensity ultrasound(HIU) (7.1 MHz,45.86 W/cm2)and to establish the experimental base for protection of the nerves near the organs and tissues treated with HIU. Methods The rabbit sciatic nerves were exposed to HIU of different doses as defined by the action time of the ultrsound(0, 15, 25 and 50 seconds, respectively); The Pathological changes of the nerves were observed at different times after exposed to HIU(1 week,2 weeks,1 month,3 months and 6 months). Results In 0 s (45.86 W/cm2?0 s)group, no significant pathological changes were observed. In 15 s(45.86 W/cm2?15 s) group, slight deformation of the myelin sheath were observed and recovery took place at 2 weeks. In 25 s (45.86 W /cm2?25 s) group, the nerves became broken partly and recovered at 3 months. In 50 s(45.86 W/cm2?50 s) group, great part of the nerves got coagulation necrosis and had not recovered at 6 months. Conclusion The larger the dosage of HIU, the higher degree the injury of the sciatic nerve, the more difficult the nerves to get repaired.

Objective To examine supine fulcrum pressurized radiograph to predict spinal flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods 1. Empirical study: put two points (A and B) on one side of the plastic stick and one point on the other side ( C), pressurize on the plastic stick when point C is in the middle of A and B, and then measure the projection shifting of point A. Repeat the pressure test when the distance between A and C doubled. Analyze the effect of increasing distance on diminishing pressure. 2.Clinical study :45 patients ( 16 males and 29 females) underwent standing anteroposterior radiograph ,fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph, supine lateral flexion radiograph. The Cobb's angles were measured and the flexibility ratio was determined on preoperative fulcrum radiograph. Results (1) If the length of A and C was 25 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 5 cm and 10 cm. If the length of A and C was 50 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 8 cm and 15 cm. The longer the distance, the lesser the pressure force of plastics stick. (2)The Cobb angles and curve flexibility provided by fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph had significant difference from that provided by supine lateral flexion radiograph in male group and female group. Cobb angles of male group was 28. 6°± 4. 1 °, 16. 7°± 4. 6° respectively (t= 7. 438, P < 0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 47. 6% ±8. 1% ,69. 4% ± 8. 5% respectively( t = 7. 438, P < 0. 01 ). Cobb angles of female group was 24.5°± 2. 7°,12. 6°±2. 4° respectively(t = 17. 540,P <0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 53.4% ±5.2% ,76. 0% ±4. 7% respectively(t = 17. 54, P < 0. 01 ). The flexibility of spinal main curve of female patients was obviously higher than male patients. Conclusions Supine fulcrum pressurized technique can make up for the insufficiency of supine lateral flexion technique, and provide a convenient, safe, precise and useful method for evaluation of spinal flexibility in AIS.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance characteristics and epidemic trend of Escherichia coli in Anning, Yunnan, and to provide a reference for clinical rational use of antibiotics. Methods A total of 376 strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from June 2018 to June 2019 from Kungang Hospital of Yunnan Province. The ESBLs producing strains were screened by double disk method and the sensitivity of ESBLs to antibiotics was detected by K-B method. The genotyping of ESBLs strains and the class I, II and III integrase genes in integron 3' and 5' conservative regions was conducted using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results The detection rate of ESBLs producing Escherichia coli was 53.19% (200/376). ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli had a low resistance rate to carbapenem antibacterial drugs with a relatively high sensitivity. The resistance rates to amikacin and piperacillin were 7.50% and 12.50% respectively, which had good antibacterial activity. The resistance rate to other antibiotics was high. There were 74.00% (148/ 200) of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli carrying CTX-M gene, 34.50% (69/200) carrying TEM genes, and 1.00% (2/200) of strains carrying SHV genes. In addition, there were 9.00% (18/200) of strains carrying both CTX-M and TEM genes, and 0.50% (1/200) of strains carrying both CTX-M and SHV genes. The detection rate of integrons accounted for 37.00% (74/200), all of which were class I integrons. Conclusion The prevalence of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli was relatively high in Anning, Yunnan. ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli showed a trend of multi-drug resistance. The genotype was mainly CTX-M, and the integron was classified as class I.

Objective:
To detect the expression of nuclear transcription factor OCT-4 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and its relationship with CD44, and to explore the relationship between OCT-4 and the cancer stem cells and its significance in tumors.
Methods:
Sixty-nine specimens of laryngeal surgical resection were selected from LSCC patients from January 2008 to December 2012 in Lanzhou General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region. Another 18 cases of normal laryngeal mucosa tissues were selected as control. OCT-4, CD44 and OCT-4+ CD44+ cells were observed by using tissue microarray, immunohistochemistry staining and immunohistochemical double staining techniques, and the relationship between their pathological features, such as expression intensity, distribution, cell morphology and clinical parameters were analyzed to explore the clinicopathological significance of CD44+ OCT-4+ cells.
Results:
The percentage of CD44-positive cells in LSCC was significantly higher than that in normal laryngeal mucosa tissues [(63.62±8.76)% vs. (13.61±5.81)%,

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of low-tube-voltage, low injection rate, low contrast agent dosage in combination with iterative model reconstruction ( IMR) algorithm in CT angiography ( CTA) of the head-and-neck vessels .Methods Sixty patients who underwent CT angiography of the head-and-neck vessels were randomly divided into groups A and B with 30 cases in each group .Patients in group A received a conventional scan with 120 kVp and filterback projected ( FBP) reconstruction .Patients in group B received a low-dose scan with 80 kVp, and image reconstruction with FBP ( group B1) and IMR (group B2)algorithm.The contrast agent protocol were as follows: the injection time in all patients was 10s, the injection rate was 4.5-5.5 ml/s in group A while 3.5-4.0 ml/s in group B.The CT values of artery, image noise, signal to noise ratio ( SNR) and contrast to noise ratio ( CNR) were measured and compared among three groups with One-way ANOVA analysis . Image quality was evaluated by two radiologists with five scale method , and compared with Kruskal-Wallis test .The CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) and dose length product ( DLP) were recorded and compared between groups with two independent samples t-test.Results The image quality scores of groups A , B1and B2 were 3-5, 2-4 and 3 -5, respectively .Image quality of twelve patients in group B 1 couldn′t meet the diagnostic requirements but none in group A and B 2.The objective image parameters SNR and CNR for group B 2 were equal to group A ( P >0.05), while those for group B1 were lower than group A (t=13.39, 9.45, P<0.05) and group B2 (t=-12.14, -9.96,P<0.05).CTDIvol and DLP for group B were separately 80.9%, 81.3%lower than those of group A(t=39.1, 32.2,P<0.05).The injection rate and contrast agent volume for group B were separately 22.0%, 22.1% lower than those of group A ( t=20.8, 20.8, P<0.01) .Conclusions It is feasible in CT angiography of the head-and-neck vessels with lower tube-voltage, lower injection rate, lower contrast agent dose and combining with iterative model reconstruction algorithm.This protocol can reduce the radiation dose by 81.3% while maintaining image quality .Trial registration Chinese clinical trial registry ,ChiCTR-BOC-16010060.
