Objective To study the application CT scans in Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. Metlhods 648 children with pectus excavatum underwent Nuss procedure from July 2002 to September 2008 The preoperative CT scan was carried out for evaluation of the deformity degree and morphology classification of chest wall malformation, the deformity in relation with adjacent tissue and associated different disorder. Results Nuss procedure was successfully performed in all 648 patients. The preoperative CT scan showed medium deformity of the pectus excavatum in 73 cases ( 11.27% ) and severe deformity in 575 cases (88.73%). Morphologic classification of the pectus excavatum were symmetric type in 407cases (62.81% ) , eccentric type in 83( 12.81% ) ,and unbalanced type in 158( 24.38% ). 116 cases with pectus excavatum were associated with other different disorders, among them 55 cases ( 17.9% )were diagnosed by CT scan. 28 cases received stimultanously operation for their abnormalities. Conclusion CT scan is a useful tool for evaluation the deformity degree and morphology classification, direct the operation, reduce the complications and find other different disorders. It should be a routine examination before Nuss procedure.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine on calcium release in isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes.MethodsThe left ventricular cardiac myocytes isolated from adult Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused withacnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 3 μmol/L for 12 min. The spontaneous calcium release (SCR) rate, the end-diastolic[Ca2+](F0) and the calcium transient amplitude (ΔF) were detected 4 min, 8 min and 12 min after the perfusion. 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, the changes of systolic dynamics and calcium transient were detected for the positive inotropic effect. Results Any of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine induced SCR, mesconitine-induced SCR rate was highest at low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), and aconitine-induced SCR rate highest at high concentration (3 μmol/L). Compared with the control, 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 3 μmol/L elevated F0 (1.459 ± 0.379, 1.585 ± 0.493, 1.213 ± 0.254vs.1.079 ± 0.108, allP<0.05) and ΔF(1.615 ± 0.455, 2.210 ± 0.756, 1.528 ± 0.422vs. 1.036 ± 0.125, allP<0.05), mesaconitine with ΔF higher than aconitine and hypaconitine. At low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), compared with control, aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine increased ΔF (0.409 ± 0.127, 0.423 ± 0.107, 0.414 ± 0.118vs.0.260 ± 0.065;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and contraction amplitudes (5.464% ± 2.239%, 7.449% ± 2.548%, 5.524% ± 1.645%vs.3.428% ± 0.911%;P<0.05 orP<0.01), prolonged the time to peak of calcium transient (0.041 ± 0.016 s, 0.039 ± 0.009 s, 0.038 ± 0.011 svs.0.032 ± 0.007 s;P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine decreased calcium transient time constant (0.301 ± 0.054 s, 0.324 ± 0.064 svs.0.361 ± 0.076 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and diastolic t50 (0.124 ± 0.035 s, 0.126 ± 0.040 svs.0.157 ± 0.056 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionsAconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine reveal the positive inotropic effects couple with the toxic effects. Increased[Ca2+]in cardiac myocytes is the key factor for the positive inotropic effects, but also the risk factor for SCR.

Method The cervical spondylosis patients were randomized into two groups at a ratio of 3:1, 90 cases in the electroacupuncture group and 30 cases in the medication group. The patients who received electroacupuncture were also given cupping and behavioral intervention (raising head for 1 min every 20-30 min and correcting sleep habits). The clinical efficacy was evaluated according to the symptoms and body signs assessment scale. Result Respectively after 4-week, 8-week, 4-month and 6-month treatments, the clinical control rate, markedly control rate and total effective rate in the electroacupuncture group were significantly higher than that in the medication group. Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Jiaji points plus behavioral intervention is an effective solution to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis.

Objective:To investigate the promotive effect of 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) on the apoptosis of the human cervical cancer HeLa cells,and to clarify its effect mechanism in related signaling pathways.Methods:The human cervical cancer HeLa cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group(without TBB) and experiment group(with TBB).MTT assay was used to detect the survival rate of the HeLa cells;the morphology of HeLa cells was observed under inverted microscope;Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry(FCM) were used to determine the apoptotic rates of the HeLa cells;the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins p-Akt,Akt,Bcl-2,Bax,cleaved-caspase-3,and Pro-caspase-3 were detected by Western blotting method.Results:The MTT results showed that the survival rates of the HeLa cells in experiment group were significantly decreased(P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner compared with control group.The apoptotic morphology of the HeLa cells in experiment group were found as cell shrinkage and karyopyknosis under inverted microscope.The Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining and FCM results showed that the apoptotic rates of the HeLa cells in experiment group (3,6,12 and 24 h) were higher than that in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of the anti-apoptotic proteins p-Akt and Bcl-2 in HeLa cells in experiment group were decreased obviously,whereas the expression levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and cleaved-caspase-3 were increased and the expression levels of Pro-caspase-3 were decreased.Conclusion:TBB may promote the apoptosis of human cervical cancer HeLa cells by inhibiting the Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of virtual shopping on cognitive function of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and CNKI were searched for literatures on virtual shopping,mild cognitive impairment,and cognitive function published from database inception to Sep. 2023. The literatures were screened and the data were extracted in strict accordance with the inclusion criteria,and the Review Manager 5.3 was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 382 patients with mild cognitive impairment were included. Meta analysis showed that compared with traditional cognitive rehabilitation training,virtual shopping could improve the comprehensive cognitive function,executive function,attention and abilities of daily living of patients with mild cognitive impairment (all P<0.05),but had no significant effects on the memory,language,or visuospatial ability (all P>0.05). Conclusion Virtual shopping is beneficial for improving the comprehensive cognitive function,executive function,attention and abilities of daily living of patients with mild cognitive impairment.
