Objective To investigate the presentation and radiologic findings of acute marchiafava‐bignami disease(MBD) . Methods Three cases of acute MBD who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed ,including the clinical symptoms ,laboratory tests ,imaging examination(such as cranial CT ,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) ,prognosis .Results Three cases were acute onset .The symptoms may be non‐specific ,such as consciousness disorder ,psychosis ,seizures ,delirium tremor and high fever .The imaging changes in the genu and splenium of corpus callosum could be found ,even in the bihemispheric white matter of all cases .CT revealed low‐density areas ,meanwhile MRI showed iso‐or hypo‐intensity on T1WI and ADC ,hyper‐in‐tensity on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery and restricted diffusion weighted imaging .The lesions involved in bihemi‐spheric brachium pontis in one case and in the body of corpus callosum in another case .Conclusion Acute MBD may present with various clinical forms ,but have characteristic imaging findings .

In the 1960s, modern science began involving the essence of heat syndrome, but there have still no in-depth systematic studies on pathological mechanisms of heat syndrome and action mechanisms of cold and cool herbs. In this study, the animal model with heat syndrome was set up by feeding herbs with hot property, and then cold and cool herbs was applied in the experimental therapy. The two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry technologies were adopted to compare the liver mitochondria proteome of the rats of the heat syndrome model and the ones treated with cold and cool herbs, so as to discover specificity-related proteins after heat syndrome and treatment with cold and cool herbs.

Objective To investigate the influence of primary cultured neonatal rat hippocampal neurons caused by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV AD169) infection on intracellular calcium and its mechanism.Methods Twenty SPF SD rats born within 24 hours(10 cases of male and 10 cases of female) were assigned to establish the primary rat hippocampal neuronal monolayer cells; After cultured 8 days in vitro,the eligible cells were randomly divided into HCMV infection group,HCMV + MK-801 group,MK-801 group and control group,with 10 wells in each group.The fluorescence intensity values of the intracellular free calcium were detected after 24 hours of treatment with Fluo-3AM fluorescence staining.Results Inoculation of HCMV neurons after 24 h turned to round and swollen gradually,and 4days later,most of the cells disappeared; by immunohistochemistry in cultures of hippocampal neurons in HCMV,visible early proteins,brownish yellow granules,hematoxylin were found after being stained with brown pigment.The fluorescence intensity values of neuronal intracellular calcium (215.5 ± 14.9) in HCMV group was higher than that of control group (116.4 ± 5.9) (t =15.2,P < 0.01),whilerise,that in MK-801 group (88.1 ± 4.5) was significantly lower than that of control group,with decreased rate of (24.0 ± 6.7) % (t =-9.3,P < 0.01).The fluorescence intensity values of neuronal intracellular calcium in HCMV + MK-801 group (135.5 ± 8.6) was significantly decreased compared with that of HCMV group (215.5 ± 14.9),with decreased rate of (37.0 ± 3.4) % (t =11.3,P < 0.01).Conclusions Intracellular calcium overload of cultured rat hippocampal neurons in vitro with HCMV AD16 strains infection can be detected.One of its main mechanisms is the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor channel-mediated calcium influx.

Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is very important to explore the biomarkers for the early prediction of preeclampsia. Some peptides released from placenta, such as soluble Flt-1 and placenta growth factor (PlGF), have been revealed for definite prospects of application. Meanwhile, the recent advances in proteomics, metabolomics and microRNA shed light on searching of new biomarkers for preeclampsia prediction.

Objective To observe the curative effect of low melocular weight heparin(LMWH) on the hypercoagulability in acute Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods Forty-six patients were diagnosed KD.Twenty-two cases out of all KD patients whose serum concentration of whether platelet(PLT) or fibrinogen(FIB) was significantly increased or who were found thrombus in their coronary artery by ultrasonic Doppler were treated with LMWH by subcutaneous injection once every day for 7-10 days.All the patients were divided into 2 groups accor-ding to whether using LMWH or not:H group(using LMWH) and NH group(no using LMWH).It were detected before and after treatment that included thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),international normalized ratio(INR),FIB,plasma mucosity,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),hematocrit(HCT) and situation of haemorrhage.Results 1.Before treatment,PLT and FIB of patients in H group were significantly higher than those in NH group(Pa

Objective Our purpose was to improve the konwlege and diagnosis level of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis(EIPD).Methods All 3 cases were underwent single and double contrast esophagograms.Analyze the findings on esophagography in 3 cases.Results Multiple small tiny cyst like outpouchings with a narrow neck extending outward esophageal wall were found in all of the 3 cases, the length range of outpouchings diameter was 1-4 mm,and the length range of neck was 1-2 mm,the pseudodiverticula had a diffuse distribution in 2 cases,and segmental distribution on the middle and the lower esophagus in the other case.Some necks of pseudodiverticula incline to stomach with 30?-45? in 2 cases;and intramural tracking was found in 1 case,the length range of tracking was 5-10 mm;esophageal stenosis in esophagogastic junction and reflux esophagitis was found only in 1 case;1 case underwent endoscopy and ostiums of pseudodiverticula were found;biopsy showed submucosal chronic inflammation surrounding the neck of pseudodiverticula,squamous metaplasia of the epithelium in both the neck and outpouchings.Conclusion EIPD is a rare benign disorder characterized by dilation of the submucosal glands.The value of esophagography is to distinguish sublimes ulcer caused by esophagitis and esophageal fenestrate from EIPD.The characteristic radiographic appearance is numerous intramural esophageal contrast-filled cystiform outpouchings,and some necks incline in the direction of stomach.When the typical appearance found on barium studies,the diagnosis of EIPD can be made.
