Objective To observe the influence of Edaravone on the level of serum gastrin and efficacy in patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods 60 patients with craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into Edaravone group(30 cases) and Dexamethasone group(30 cases).Then each group received corresponding treatment.The level of serum gastrin was detected at 1st d,3rd d,5th d and 7th d after treatment.The curative effect was evaluated based on the neuroligical deficit score(NDS) and Barthel index(BI) one month after treatment.Results The level of serum gastrin in Edaravone group began to decrease at the 3rd d after treatment,at the 5th d and 7th d became to normal value.While,in Dexamethasone group 5th d after treatment,the level of serum gastrin began to decrease,but at the 7th d was still significantly higher than the normal value.The levels of serum gastim at 3 d,5 d and 7 d after treatment were significant difference between the two groups(P

砄bjective:To investigate the expression of integrin ? 1 during mandibular fracture healing.Methods:Rabbit mandibular fracture model was used,the fractured bone tissues were obtained and paraffin slices were made on the day 1,3,5,7,14,30,60 and 90 after surgery respectively.Non fractured mandible was used as the control.The expression of integrin ? 1 in bone tissue, especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, was studied with LsAB immunohistochemical method.Results:Integrin ? 1 was widely espressed in the bone tissure close to fracture and surrounding soft tissue.In osteoblasts increased expression of integrin ? 1 was observed on day 7,maximum on day 14～30 and normal on day 90.While in osteoclasts,it was increased and kept at maximum 14～90 days aftere fracture.Conclusion:During mandibular fracture healing,the expression of integrin ? 1 in bone,especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts,was increased.Integrin ? 1 has a critical influence on bone fracture healing.

Objective To determine the clinical value of contrast enhanced MRI in differentiating benign and malignant pancreatic endocrine tumors (PNETs).Methods MRI findings on 13 cases who were pathologically diagnosed as PNETs were retrospectively analyzed , including the tumor volume , border , MRI signal and adjacent organ involvement of Grade 1~3 tumors, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI for diagnosing PNETs were calculated .Results A total of 18 tumors were detected , including 12 benign (Grade 1) and 6 malignant (Grade 2~3) tumors.Eight Grade 1 tumors′(66.7%) maximal diameters were≤2 cm, while 100%(6 /6) Grade 2 ~3 tumors′maximal diameters were ≥2 cm.All of Grade 1 tumors (100%) had clear boundary , while 50%(2/4) Grade 2 and 100%(2/2) Grade 3 tumors had unclear boundary.Ten Grade 1 tumors (83.3%) had intratumoral homogeneous signal , while 100%(6/6) Grade 2~3 tumors had heterogeneous intratumoral signal .Two Grade 3tumors ( 100%) had organ infiltration and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis .The sensitivity ,specificity and accuracy of MRI for differentiating benign and malignant PNETs were 833.%, 85.7%and 84.6%, respectively.Conclusi ons MRI had higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant PNETs , but it was still difficult to differentiate Grade 1 from Grade 2 tumors by MRI.Tumors size could not be considered to be a reliable indicator for differentiating benign and malignant PNETs .

Objective To determine the value of MR in the diagnosis of the medial and lateral meniscal posterior root tears.Methods One hundred and twenty one patients underwent arthroscopy and MR of knee examinations were retrospectively reviewed,and all of them did not have the history of knee surgery before the MR examination.MR images were double-blinded,independently,retrospectively scored by radiology residency (doctor 1) and attending radiologist (doctor 2).The likelihood of the meniscus posterior root tear was scored on basis of arthroscopic findings constituted the gold standard.Sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of MR diagnosis of the lateral and medial meniscus posterior root tear by two physicians were calculated,and the consistency of diagnosis results by two physicians was evaluated using the Kappa statistics.Reasons leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis were discussed.Results Thirty three of the 121 patients were diagnosed with meniscus posterior root tears by arthroscopy,including 14 cases of lateral tears and 19 cases of medial tears.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of posterior lateral meniscus root tears (PLMRT) for doctor 1 were 71.4％ (10/14),82.2％ (88/107) and 81.0％ (98/121),respectively,and for doctor 2 were 71.4％ (10/14),86.0％ (92/107) and 84.3％ (102/121).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of posterior medial meniscus root tears (PMMRT) for doctor 1 were 100.0％ (19/19),88.2％ (90/102) and 90.1％ (109/121),respectively,and for doctor 2 were 100.0％ (19/19),95.1％ (97/102) and 95.9％ (116/121),respectively.The Kappa statistics for PLMRT and PMMRT were 0.67 and 0.81,respectively,demonstrating a good interobserver agreement (P＜0.05).The misdiagnosed cases of the PMMRT were 12 for doctor 1 and 5 for doctor 2.There were 4 cases being commonly misdiagnosed by the two doctors,and there were no any missed cases in this study.For the PLMRT,the misdiagnosed cases were 19 for doctor 1 and 15 for doctor 2.Eleven cases were misdiagnosed and 4 were missed by the two physicians.Conclusion MR is a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting posterior root tears of the medial and lateral meniscus.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of hydrogen saline on oxidative stress damage in rats brain tissues after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods Eighteen adult male pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group (Con group), conventional resuscitation group (ROSC group) and hydrogen saline treatment group (ROSC+HRS group), with 6 rats in each group. All rats were asphyxiated by tracheal clip method to establish cardiac arrest (CA) model, and received first aid with CPR, electric defibrillation and adrenaline until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The rats in ROSC+HRS group were intraperitoneally injected with 2% hydrogen saline (5 mL/kg for the first time and 3 mL/kg every 2 hours). The rats in Con group were only tracheal intubated and mechanical ventilated. The rats were sacrificed after ROSC for 12 hours, and the brain tissue was harvested to determine the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT). The protein expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was determined with Western Blot, and the mRNA expression of HO-1 was determined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared with the Con group, the MDA was significantly elevated in ROSC group (nmol/mg: 8.15±0.11 vs. 3.68±0.16, P < 0.05), the SOD and CAT were significantly decreased [SOD (U/mg): 69.30±2.39 vs. 94.65±2.75, CAT (U/mg): 74.38±1.65 vs. 95.68±1.88, both P < 0.05], HO-1 mRNA expression was significantly elevated (gray value: 1.383±0.194 vs. 1.117±0.083, P < 0.05), and HO-1 protein expression showed no significant change (gray value: 0.350±0.049 vs. 0.175±0.026, P > 0.05). Compared with the ROSC group, the MDA was significantly decreased in ROSC+HRS group (nmol/mg: 4.72±0.28 vs. 8.15±0.11, P < 0.05), the SOD and CAT were significantly elevated [SOD (U/mg): 83.02±1.10 vs. 69.30±2.39, CAT (U/mg): 85.07±1.94 vs. 74.38±1.65, both P < 0.05], HO-1 mRNA expression was significantly elevated (gray value: 3.200±0.200 vs. 1.383±0.194, P < 0.05), and the HO-1 protein expression was significantly elevated (gray value: 0.788±0.059 vs. 0.350±0.049, P < 0.05). Conclusions Oxidative stress damage is an important mechanism of CPR brain damage. Hydrogen saline can increase the expression of HO-1 in brain tissue, and decrease oxidative stress damage of brain after CPR.
