Objective To explore the value of multiple-mouse MRI in evaluating the therapeutic effect of endostatin for transplantation tumor models of colorectal carcinoma in mice.Methods 24 subcutaneously transplantation tumor’s models of colorectal carcinoma (CT-26) in mice were established, 1 week later, 16 tumor-bearing mice were sieved out and divided randomly into two groups: endostatin (ES) group and normal saline (NS) group, treated with intraperitoneal injection of endostatin 6 mg/kg?d 0.2 ml and equal volume of saline respectively for 14 days. Subsequently, MMMRI was performed, and then the mice were killed immediately and the tumors were cut into sections which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Results Subcutaneous fat layer in NS group presented thinner or disappeared on T1WI,while subcutaneous fat layer in ES group presented thicker. The tumors presented inhomogeneous high signal and intratumoral stippled necrosis on T2WI. The tumor’s volumes measured by MRI and pathology were(2723.26?1136.91) mm3 and (3505.76?1350.12) mm3 respectively,there was no difference between these two measures. And there was correlation between MRI results and pathological results. There was no difference of absolute signal intensity between ES group and NS group on T1WI and T2WI. The signal intensity ratio of ES group (3.19?0.28) was higher than which of NS group (2.60?0.47) on T2WI, and there was no difference on T1WI. Conclusion The therapeutic effect for endostatin on transplantation tumor models of colorectal carcinoma in mice can be displayed distinctly in MMMR image, and the inhibition rate of results can be displayed exactly and noninvasively.

Objective To compare the inspiratory cycling-off synchronization with expiratory trigger sensitivity (ETS) setting during noninvasive pressure support ventilation (PSV) under the different conditions of respiratory mechanics. Methods Bi-level pressure ventilator was connected to a lung model (Hans Rudolph Series1101 simulator). And its mechanics was set to normal, obstructive and restrictive ventilation dysfunction. Tests were performed with pressure support levels of 10 (in normal condition, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa) and 15 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The data including cycling delay time (Td), tidal volume (TV) and airflow were collected in the presence of air leaks (24-28 L/min). Results Significant performance on airflow was observed in various respiratory mechanics conditions. The peak inspiratory flow (PIF) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were different, and the tidal volume, PEF and inspiratory time were increased after decreasing the ETS level. Premature cycling occurred frequently in normal and restrictive model. Delay cycling was found only when the ETS setting was at the lowest level (about 5% of PIF), at which Td were (15.20 ± 0.43) ms and (105.00 ± 15.82) ms. In obstructive model, PIF and PEF were significantly decreased, and delay cycling was always present. Td were increased after the ETS setting was changed from the most sensitive level to moderate level:(51.30 ± 12.63) ms vs. (162.40 ± 15.59) ms, as cycling-off criteria were reduced from (34.52 ± 3.36)% to (16.04 ± 2.58)% of PIF, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Severe delay cycling was found when the ETS level was at the lowest level. Conclusions There are significant differences in performances and cycling-off synchrony in various respiratory mechanics models during PSV. For Curative Flexo ST30 bi-level pressure ventilator, its flow cycling-off criteria range is about 5%-35%of PIF. The higher ETS level might be beneficial to improve patient-ventilator synchrony in patients with obstructive airway diseases, which could result in premature cycling in patients with restrictive disease.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) combined with artificial dermis grafting and autologous skin grafting on repair of open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture.
METHODSEleven patients with open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture, hospitalized from November 2008 to November 2014, were enrolled in the study. According to the differences of the first stage treatment, all patients were divided into experimental group ( n = 6, including 4 patients of open joint wounds, 1 patient of wound with exposed bone fracture, and 1 patient of open joint wound with exposed bone fracture), and control group ( n 5, including 2 patients of open joint wounds, 2 patients of wounds with exposed bone fracture, and 1 patient of open joint wound with exposed bone fracture). After debridement, the wounds in both groups were grafted with punctured artificial dermis, while NPWT was only used over the artificial dermis of experiment group for 1 week. In the operation at sacsod stage, autologous split-thickness skin was grafted on the vascularized artificial dermis in both groups. Results In 5 patients of open joint wounds in experimental group, the artificial dermis was vascularized well, autologous skin grafts survived, and wounds were healed. In 3 patients of open joint wounds in control group, the artificial dermis grafting all failed due to local infection, and then these wounds were repaired with local tissue flap grafting. Artificial dermis in 3 patients of wounds with exposed bone fracture in both groups was vascularized well after grafting, and the wounds were healed after autologous skin grafting, whether or not NPWT was used.
CONCLUSIONSNPWT combined with artificial dermis grafting and autolognus skin grafting can be used for repairing open joint wounds and/or wounds with exposed bone fracture.

Purpose To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factorIImRNA binding protein 3 ( IMP3 ) and microvessel density (MVD) in squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) and analysis their relationship in SCC. Methods The expression of IMP3 and MVD was examined by immunohistochemistry SP method in normal cervical epithelium ( NCE) , low-grade cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia (CIN-L), high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-H) and SCC. Results (1)The positive expression rates of IMP3 in NCE, CIN-L, CIN-H, SCC tissues were 0(0/15), 0(0/11), 37.5%(9/24) and 86.0%(43/50), the difference was statistically significant (x 2 =53.345, P=0.000). IMP3 expression was significant difference among NCE and CIN-H, SCC (P<0.008 3), and that was also among SCC and CIN-L, CIN-H (P<0.008 3). (2)The MVD count was increased with the development of cervical squamous lesion, there was significant difference among those groups (F=145.968, P<0.01), and the difference was al-so statistically significant between every two groups (P<0.05). The positive expression of IMP3 and MVD count in 50 cases of SCC tissues showed statistical difference in different pathologic grade, lymph node metastasis, and depth of tumor invasion groups ( P<0.05), but didn't in different patients’age groups (P>0.05). And the positive expression of IMP3 was closely related with MVD count in SCC tissues (rs =0.323, P<0.05). Conclusion IMP3 plays an important role in the occurrence, infiltration and metasta-sis of SCC, and the abnormal expression of IMP3 may relate with the angiogenesis of tumors.
