Objective To elucidate the MRI appearance of prostatic abscess,the DWI and enhanced MRI features.Methods 12 cases of prostatic abscesses were retrospectively analyzed,the clinical symptom mainly manifested as lower urinary tract symptoms and fever.All of the patients were given routine MR examination including DWI sequence,6 patients received further enhanced MR examination.Results In the 12 cases,there were 4 cases behaved as single type,8 cases as multifocal type.The abscess showed iso-or slightly hypo-signal intensity on T1 WI,hyper-signal intensity on T2 WI,markedly high signal intensity on DWI and correspond-ing markedly low signal intensity on ADC.Complete abscess walls showed iso-or slightly hyper signal on T1 WI,hypo-signal inten-sity on T2 WI.The mature abscess walls were thin and smooth,which showed homogeneously ring enhanced in 4 cases.The imma-ture abscess walls showed uneven thickness and moderately enhanced in 2 cases.Septum in the abscess could be found in 4 cases, which showed similar enhancement to the abscess walls,while the abscess cavity showed non-enhanced.Abscesses involved the sur-rounding structures in 2 cases,the involved area showed obvious hyper-signal on T2 WI fat-suppression sequence.Conclusion DWI is the best sequence in the diagnosis of prostatic abscess,the markedly high signal intensity on DWI is the characteristic sign.The enhanced MRI showed the walls and septa clearly,the extent and involvement of adjacent structures.The multi-parametric MRI is a prominent procedure in the diagnosis of prostatic abcess.

Bone marrow microenvironment is a complex network consisting of hematopoietic stem/pro-genitor cells (HSPCs),non-hematopoietic cells,extracellular matrix and various cytokines.Its components interact to support normal hematopoiesis.Emerging evidence indicates that the dysfunction of mesenchymal stem cells,myeloid-derived suppressor cells,cytokines and the epigenetic alterations of HSPCs in the bone marrow microenvironment could influence normal hematopoiesis.Abnormal hematopoiesis contributes to the occurrence of hematological malignancies,such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).Animal models have confirmed that bone marrow microenvironment plays an important role in the original generation and maintenance of malignant diseases of hematopoietic system.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Leprosy Elimination Compaigns (LEC) integrated with routine case- finding of leprosy in the high leprosy- epidemic areas in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces. Methods Extensive health education of leprosy in the community, training of paramedical workers on leprosy, clue survey and contact survey were carried out to make diagnosis and provide treatment. Results A total of 122 new leprosy cases were detected in 6 high leprosy- epidemic counties through LEC in 1999 with a detection rate of 3.7/100 000, but in contrast, the annual number of newly detected leprosy cases was 67 cases with an average detection rate of 2/100 000 during the period of 3 years before LEC. Among the newly detected leprosy cases, about 47％ were leprosy household contacts. Conclusion LEC combined with routine activities of case finding can improve the detection of the back- log cases in the communities. In the high epidemic areas, especially in the remote and difficult- to- access areas, majority of leprosy cases can be detected through combining active and passive case- finding methods, providing extensive health education, improving leprosy services in skin clinic, leprosy contact and clue surveys.

AIM: To observe the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on the subsequent permanent ischemic rat retina. METHODS: A model of two-vessel occlusion (2VO) was used to give an ischemic insult to rat retina. Bilateral carotid arteries were occluded directly in the simple ischemic groups. A procedure of double 2 min ischemia- 3 min reperfusion was applied to IPC groups before their carotid arteries were occluded. Experimental control groups received the same operation except that their exposed vessels were not occluded. Other 6 normal rats served as immunohistochemical controls. Eyeballs were taken out after being subjected to 1, 3 and 7 days of ischemia. The morphometry of retina was measured by stereologic methods. The apoptosis during the retinal ischemia was detected by TUNEL. Immunohistochemistry staining was used for the localization of bcl-2 in retina. RESULTS: In IPC groups, the thickness of retina was thinner than that in simple ischemic groups. The apoptosis was less when compared with the simple ischemic groups at the same ischemic time. The apoptotic cells show only in INL and the apoptosis of RGCs was not appeared until 7 days postischemia. There was no significant difference of the numerical density of RGCs at the different time after the operation. The bcl-2 immunoreactivity was weaker than that of the simple ischemic groups too. CONCLUSION: IPC reduced the injury caused by ischemia in retina, showing a protective effect.

Objective To study the main causes of hearing disability in Beijing residents. Methods The second national sample survey on disability of China was carried out in Beijing on April 1,2006. Muhiphase, stratified, proportional and cluster samplings were adopted to investigate 74 795 residents in Beijing, including 36 753 males and 38 042 females. 55 773 were urban residents while 19 022 from rural areas. The method of descriptive study was used to analyze the data of hearing disabitity in Beijing. Results Top five causes of hearing disability (including multiple disabilities) in Beijing were presbycusis, unknown, systematic diseases, noise induced, and odds media. The prevalence was 1.10%, 0.30%, 0.30%, 0.20% and 0.17%, respectively. Heredity, unknown and others were the main causes of children under 0～14 years. Unknown, ototoxicity, and otitis media were the main causes of people aged 15 ～59 years. Presbycusis, systematic diseases, noise induced and unknown were main causes of people aged 60 years and older. Presbycusis was the top cause of hearing disability for male and female residents as well as people live in urban and rural areas in Beijing. Conclusion Presbyeusis, unknown, systematic diseases, noise induced, and otitis media were main causes of hearing disability (including multiple disabilities) in Beijing.

In view of the current conditions and reasons about the reform of medical and health system in China,the paper expounds the feasibility of authorized operation with state-owned assets of public hospital and the concrete operational pattern from the angle of hospital operational mechanism, which proposes a new idea about how to effectively solve the contradiction between the limited investment on state-owned health resources and the growing demands on medical health.

Objective To investigate the effect of vibroacoustic therapy on the behavioral problem for children with cerebral injury. ethods 20 cerebral injury children (aged 6~8 years) with behavioral problem judged with Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) ccepted vibroaacoustic therapy. Their PSQ scores were reviewed before and after treatment. Results Comparing with the norm, the scores f conduct problems, learning problems, anxiety and impulsivity-hyperactivity were higher in cerebral injured boys, while the scores of hysical symptoms and anxiety were higher in girls. The scores of learning problem, anxiety, impulsivity-hyperactivity and hyperactivity index educed after the vibroacoustic therapy (P<0.05). Conclusion Vibroacoustic therapy can alleviate the behavioral problems of children ith cerebral injury.

Objective To observe the location of pelvic organs, the morphology and function of levator ani muscle (LAM) in primiparous women post vaginal delivery at 6 months postpartum using static and dynamic MRI, and investigate the correlation between LAM injury and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods A perspective analysis of static and dynamic MRI was performed in fifty-one primiparous women post vaginal delivery at 6 months postpartum and thirty-five nulliparous women without experience of pregnancy and delivery as control group from June 2014 to January 2015. Previous pregnancy and abortion history, previous pelvic surgery and pelvic mass diseases were excluded. Cases with pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms were excluded from the control group. All of the women underwent static and dynamic MRI. The primiparous group was divided into two groups on presence or absence of POP on MRI findings:primiparous POP group and primiparous control group. The levatorani scoring system based on static MRI was used to characterize morphological changes of LAM into none, minor and major injury by the total score of bilateral LAM. A series of parameters including H line (the distance between the inferior margin of pubic symphysis to anorectal junction), M line (the perpendicular distance between the distal end of H line to pubococcygeal line), levator plate angle (LPA), iliococcygeal angle (ICA), and levator hiatus length and area were measured on static and dynamic MR images. Fisher exact test was performed to compare difference in distribution of the LAM injury between the primiparous group and control group, as well as the primiparous POP group and primiparous control group. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney test was used to compare difference in LAM parameters between the primiparous POP group and primiparous control group. Results In the 51 cases primiparous group, 44 cases showed none injury, whilst 5 cases with minor and 2 cases with major injury in the puborectal muscle. Thirty two cases showed none injury, whilst 10 cases with minor and 9 cases with major injury in the iliococcygeal muscle. In the 35 cases control group, none injury was shown in puborectal muscle, whilst 32 cases with none, 2 cases with minor and 1 case with major injury in the iliococcygeal muscle. There was no significant difference in the puborectal muscle injury between the two groups (P=0.203), and there was significant difference in the iliococcygeal muscle injury between the two groups (P<0.05). In the 24 cases primiparous POP group, 20 cases showed none injury, whilst 2 cases with minor and 2 cases with major injury in the puborectal muscle. Fourteen cases showed none injury, whilst 6 cases with minor and 4 cases with major injury in the iliococcygeal muscle. In the 27 cases primiparous control group, 24 cases showed none and 3 cases with minor injury in the puborectal muscle, whilst 18 cases with none, 4 cases with minor and 5 cases with major injury in the iliococcygeal muscle. There was no significant difference in the puborectal muscle injury and iliococcygeal muscle injury between the two groups (P=0.588 and 0.559, respectively). The LH during Valsalva status in primiparous POP group and primiparous control group were (6.7 ± 1.1) and (5.0 ± 0.6) cm, respectively, whilst the LHA was (41.6 ± 12.6) and (24.2 ± 5.5) cm2. There were significant difference between the corresponding groups (P=0.042 and 0.004, respectively). There was no significant difference between the corresponding groups of the other LAM parameters on static and dynamic MRI (all P>0.05). Conclusion Vaginal delivery may cause various degrees of LAM injury, the LAM functional deficiency were observed in primiparous women combined with POP.
