Objective To overview the clinical and endoscopic features of the ischemic colitis. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted. Results Of the 60 cases, 87% were over 50 years, and females were more than males. 76.7% of the cases were associated with the basal diseases such as cardio cerebrovascular disorders, diabetes and hematological diseases as well as the history of abdominal operation. Colonoscopy showed mucosal edema, congestion, erosion and ulceration. 87.1% of the cases were cured after treatment and 16.7 % were improved. The outcome may be associated with the age, severity of the lesion, course, basal diseases and the complications. Conclusions Endoscopy plays a vital role in the early diagnosis of ischemic colitis.

Neurogenesis refers to a biological process of neural stem cells self-proliferate and differentiate into new neurons, and are integrated into the neural networks, including the embryonic neurogenesis and adult neurogenesis. Studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in neurogenesis. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of miRNAs in the regulation of embryonic and adult neurogenesis as well as the possible regulatory roles of miRNAs in the process of neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To evaluate the application of Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) in assessment of cardiac function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction (MI) for long term follow-up. Methods 86 patients with MI were divided in PCI group (45 cases) and conventional therapy group (41 cases). All the patients received two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) and DTI measurements. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), peak E, peak A wave velocities and peak E versus peak A (E/A) of 2DE were recorded, as well as the velocity of systolic wave(s), early diastolic filling wave(e), late filling wave(a) and wave e versus wave a (e/a ) of DTI. Results The LVEF and the average velocity of systolic wave (s) of mitral annulus was increased after PCI (P<0.05). S wave was related to LVEF, but the sensitivity of s wave is better than that of LVEF. There was no difference in the pulse Doppler trans mitral flow velocity E/A before and after PCI (P>0.05) , but the average velocity of mitral annulus (e/a ) was remarkably increased after PCI (P<0.01).Conclusion The left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in MI patients be improved after PCI. DTI is a sensitive method to detect the cardiac function after MI and PCI.

The involvement of astrocytes and correlation between neuronal injury and astrocyte response were studied. Blockingmiddle cerebral artery and reperfusing o. 5～48 h, H-E staining, immunoccytochemistry single-and double-labeling, dotble label-ing combined with TUNEL and GFAP immunocytochemistry were used to investigate neuronal injury and astrocyte response.The is chemic area peaked at 24 h of reperfusion. The neurons presented irreversible degeneration at 6 h of reperfusion. At24 h,ischemic area in the preoptic area developed into infarcted area; astrocytes exhibited differential morphological features: reactive,malnourished and degenerative changes. At 48 h of reperfusion, the number of astrocytes began to go up. The astrocytes in is-chemic area didn't proliferate within 48 h. By contrast, a few astrocytes underwent apoptosis. In conclusion, these data indicatethat the reaction of astrocytes is closely connected with the extent of neuronal injuries. The reactive astrocytes imply that astro-cytes positively respond to the neuronal injuries, which might play a role in promoting neuronal survival.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of cryoablation in treating pain caused by malignant paravertebral and mesenchymal tumor. Methods:Cryoablation was performed in 31 patients with unresectable and painful malignant paravertebral and mesenchymal tumors whose pain was poorly controlled by conventional treatment methods. Tumors ranged in size from 3 cm to 20 cm. Pain experienced by the patient was assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) at 0, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-cryoablation. Results:BPI scores were divided into two categories, i.e., the influence and the se-verity of pain. Both categories showed downward trend after cryoablation. Pain severity score significantly decreased (P=0.001, t=3.862;P=0.031, t=2.261) 1 day and 1 month after cryoablation. Pain influence score also significantly decreased (P=0.016, t=2.566;P=0.036, t=2.195) 1 day and 1 week after cryoablation. Two patients (6.45%) had mild complications, and no serious complication was ob-served. Conclusion:Cryoablation is a low-risk and well-tolerated topical treatment for pain caused by unresectable malignant paraverte-bral and mesenchymal tumors.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of anti-aldosterone on left ventricular function in patients with myocardial infarction. Methods130 patients with myocardial infarction were divided into anti-aldosterone group (spironolactone 20～40 mg/d + enalapril 10～20 mg/day, n=61) and control group (enalapril 10～20 mg/d, n=69). The echocardiogram and Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) were performed at enrolling time, and 6, 12 months after treatment. ResultsIn the anti-aldosterone group, the average mitral systolic wave (s) was significantly increased 6 months after treatment （P<0.05） to the enrolling time. LVEF and LVEDD improved 12 months after treatment （P<0.05）. In the control group, the average mitral systolic wave, LVEDD and LVEF did not significantly improve (P>0.05). Ratio of peak early to late diastolic filling velocity (e/a) was no significantly different between the anti-aldosterone group and the control group. ConclusionThe combination of anti-aldosterone and ACEI in patients with myocardial infarction can improve the left ventricular systolic function after 6 and 12 months, but cannot to the diastolic function.
