Objective To evaluate the diagnosis accuracy for coronary stenosis from diameter measurements of differ?ent severities of stenosis by using gemstone spectral imaging (GSI). Methods Totally 3 different coronary artery models(in?ternal diameter:3.00 mm) that with different severities of stenosis (residual lumen diameter ratio:75%, 50%and 25%) were placed in a pulsating cardiac phantom (ALPHA 1-VT PC, Fuyo Corporation, Japan). The coronary phantom was scanned in two models:gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) and axial scan model(AXIAL). All the spectral imaging data were analyzed by using GSI viewer to reconstruct the VMS images (40-140 keV by 10 keV interval) and AXIAL. CT values (HU) of the re?mained lumen from all different stenosis lumens were measured. The residual rate (%) was calculated by dividing the diame?ters of the remained lumen to normal lumen on the reformatted short axial images. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the measurement difference of residual rates between VMS images. Student t-test was used to compare the measurement dif?ference of residual rate between VMS and AXIAL. Bland-Altman test was used to compare the measured residual rates and the gold standard. Results There were no significant differences in measured residual rate betweeb VMS images (P>0.05). From student t-test, only significant difference was found on 50%stenosis between 70 keV VMS and AXIAL(t=4.617,P<0.042). From the Bland-Altman test, measurement of residual rate was more accurate from 70 keV VMS than that of AXIAL by taking the stenosis rate of real model as gold standard(t=14.560,P<0.001). Conclusion VMS image (70 keV) shows more accurate rate than AXIAL images on both diameter measurement and evaluation of the coronary stenosis.

BACKGROUND:Epidemiologic reports have indicated that excessive weight-bearing exercise is one of important risk factors for lumbar degeneration, but the effects of weight-bearing activity on normal lumbar motion pattern are stil not clear. OBJECTIVE:To measure the changing characteristics and rules of position at the center of rotation of the lower lumbar spine during a weight-lifting activity of normal person. METHODS: Fourteen asymptomatic subjects with a mean age of (25±5) years were recruited for this study. The L4-5 and L5-S1 segments of each subject were CT-scanned to construct 3D models using dual X-ray imaging system and spiral CT examination combined technology in the aid of computer software. The physiological load and lumbar spinal 3D motion under the loading condition were reproduced when matching the flexion, neutrality and extension in the dual X-ray imaging system and on dual oblique lumbar X-ray image. Coordinate systems were established at the vertebral body of L4-S1 to obtain the center of rotation during flexion-to-neutral, neutral-to-extension and the ful flexion-extension motion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Under physiological load, the center of rotation of L4-5 of normal person was located about 1.0 mm anterior to the central axis of the vertebral body, and the center of rotation of L5-S1 was located about 0.7 mm anterior to the central axis of the vertebral body. (2) With weight loading, the center of rotation of both two segments shifted backward about 0.5 mm. There was no statistical difference between these two loading conditions. (3) When the center of rotation in flexion and extension was calculated respectively, the moving range of the center of rotation at both L4-5and L5-S1 became larger due to taking loads of 10 kg (P < 0.05). In flexion, the center of rotation at L5-S1 significantly shifted forward during a weight-lifting activity (P < 0.05). (4) These results confirm that compared with non-weight-bearing condition, the trajectory of the center of rotation was found to be increased when taking loads, especialy during the flexion-to-neutral motion.

The known members of inhibitor of growth (ING) gene family are considered as candidate tumor suppressor genes. ING4, a novel member of ING family, is recently reported to regulate brain tumour angiogenesis through transcriptional repression of NF-?B-responsive genes, induce G2/M arrest by the increased p21 expression in a p53-dependent manner, suppress the loss of contact inhibition and represses activation of the hypoxia inducible factor, which plays an important role in the progression of tumorigenesis. However, seldom studies about ING4 inducing tumor cells apoptosis were reported.The C6 cells (mouse glioma cells) were infected respectively with the blank adenovirus carrying GFP (Ad) and the recombinated Ad-hING4-His, then RT-PCR assay was used to detect the transcriptions of hING4, as well Western-blotting assay was ued to detect the expressions of hING4. The effects of hING4 expression upon C6 cells were observed, and the growth curve was drawed and tumor control rates were calculated. The C6 cells, which were affected by blank Ad and Ad-hING4-His, were respectively observed by LSCM (laser scan confocal microscope) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), detected by flow cytometry; and the genomic DNA of both groups were extracted and electrophoresised in agarose gel to examinate the DNA fragments. The results showed hING4 can significantly inhibit the growth of C6 cells by promoting the cell’s apoptosis, which probably is the first one to prove this property of ING4.The experimental and theoretical foundation for gene therapy for gliomas with ING4 in the future was established.

Aim To observe histopathological changes of hippocampus after acute epilepsy induced by penty-lenetetrazole (PTZ)in rats.Methods Five groups as control group,PTZ-induced 24 hours(h)group,PTZ-induced 72 hours group,PTZ-induced 1 20 hours group and PTZ-induced 1 44 hours group were designed.PTZ (64 mg·kg -1 )was administered with a single intrap-eritoneal injection for generalized tonic-clonic sei-zures in the current experiment.Control and PTZ trea-ted animals were sacrificed after specific time points. Brain was dissected out and then evaluated for neuro-pathological changes using Nissl staining and immuno-histochemical technique.Results In this study PTZ-induced hippocampal neuron status apoptosis occurred at 24 hours and was sustained for 1 44 hours after status epilepticus.Whereas,activated caspase-3 and AIF ap-peared at 24 hours and were sustained for 1 44 hours af-ter status epilepticus.Conclusion The results of this study show that the significant histopathological chan-ges of hippocampus appear in the vicinity of 1 20 hours after intraperitoneal injection of pentylenetetrazole.

Objective To determine chromosomal localization of the primary gout susceptibility gene in a pedigree.Methods The clinical data and the peripheral blood samples were collected in the pedigree members and the genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood.A genome-wide screening was performed using 400 micro-satellite DNA markers in this family,and linkage analysis was used to determine the chromosomal location of the primary gout susceptibility gene.Results Linkage analysis showed that the maximum LOD score reached 1.50 at marker D4S1572 (at recombination fraction?=0.00).Conclusion Since D4S1572 is localized at 4q25,the primary gout susceptibility gene of this pedigree is localized at 4q25.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of cardiac pacing with a His bundle lead on cardiac electrophysiological and haemodynamical action in dogs and the experience of location technique with His bundle pacing lead. METHODS: With opening chest operation in general-anesthetized dogs, a special lead was located at His bundle based on a typical "H" wave and narrow duration of the QRS wave recorded in ECG; Platinum leads were fixed at the epicardium of the right ventricular apex (RVA) respectively, forming HisB- VVI pacing,RVA- VVI pacing. Cardiac electrophysiological and haemodynamical parameters were compared in sinus rhythm and the different pacing models. RESULTS: The threshold of HisB pacing is similar to that of RVA pacing. Cardiac output(CO)is increased about 18.81% in HisB- VVI pacing than self. It is decreased about 5.41% in RVA- VVI pacing. SV is similar to self,but it is 25.59% higher in HisB- VVI than RVA- VVI . LVSW and RVSW in His B- VVI pacing is superior to that in RVA- VVI . CONCLUSION: His bundle pacing significantly improves cardiac function compared with the RVA- VVI pacing because it can maintain normal physiological electronic activation sequence and systolic synchrony and have a better haemodynamics effect.neral-anesthetizeddogs,as

Objective:To investigate the impact of self-concealment,self-disclosure,coping style and per- ceived social support on university students'loneliness.Methods:Loneliness and related factors were assessed among 482 university students using scales including UCLA Loneliness Scale,Self-concealment Scale(SCS),Self-disclosure Index(SDI),Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ)and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results: The level of university students'loneliness was not high(36.5?7.4);males experienced more loneliness than fe- males(37.4?7.5/35.4?7.3,F=8.25,P0.05). Regression analysis showed that SCS,SCSQ and PSSS predicted UCLA effectively(?=0.207,-0.218,0.157, -0.380).The testing of mediating effect indicated that SCS had direct and indirect impact on UCLA through nega- tive coping style and PSSS;SDI had only indirect impact on UCLA through positive coping style and PSSS.Conclusion:SCS,SDI,SCSQ and PSSS are important factors influencing UCLA,and the intervention of univer- sity students'loneliness should focus on these variables.
