1.Seventeen cases report of percutaneous puncture biopsy on pancreas mass under CT guidance
Journal of Chinese Physician 2013;(z1):36-38
Objective To explore the diagnostic value and security of percutaneous puncture biopsy on pancreas mass under CT guidance.Methods Seventeen patients who were found pancreas mass by imaging tests were treated with percutaneous puncture biopsy under CT guidance.And then pathological examinations of the tissue were carried out.Some patients were punctured more than one time.Results Among the total 17 patients,14 patients achieved positive pathological results (positive rate 82.35%).Results diagnosed 8 cases of pancreatic cancers,3 cases of lymphoma,2 cases of chronic pancreatitis and one case of malignant stroma tumor.Conclusion It's an important and minimal invasive technique of percutaneous puncture biopsy on pancreas mass under CT guidance.And it should be promoted in clinic because of its good security,however,adequate preoperative evaluation and preparation is necessary.

The metabolic profiles of control and MCF-7 cells treated with luteolin were analyzed separately using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( GC/MS ) to study the mechanism of the luteolin treatment on MCF-7 cells. Cell viability assays showed that luteolin had inhibition effect on MCF-7 cells. Partial least square discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA) was used to process the metabolic data. Since cells in phase of S were increased significantly, we speculated that luteolin had a blocking effect on pentose phosphate pathway of MCF-7 cells, which contributed to its inhibition effect on proliferation of MCF-7 cells.

Objective:Childhood traumatic experiences greatly influenced the brain network activities of patients with depression,and there is an urgent need to explore the temporal dynamics for these changes.This study aims to investigate the abnormalities of resting-state electroencephalogram(EEG)microstates in eye-open state of depressed adolescents and to explore the correlations between their EEG microstates and the childhood traumatic experience. Methods:Using resting-state EEG microstate analysis,we explored the temporal dynamics of brain activity in patients with adolescent depression.This study selected 66 adolescents with depression as a patient group,and 27 healthy adolescents as a healthy control group.A modified k-means clustering algorithm was used to classify the 64-channel resting-state EEG data into different microstates.Independent sample t-tests were used to compare the microstate parameters between the 2 groups and further assciations between these parameters and childhood traumatic experience in patients were explored via using Spearman correlation. Results:In this study,significant differences were observed in the occurrence and transition probabilities of EEG microstates between the healthy control and the patient group.Notably,there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05)in the occurrence of microstate A across 2 groups,exhibiting a negative correlation with the emotional abuse component within the childhood trauma scores(Spearman's rho=-0.31,P=0.013).Furthermore,patient-specific,non-random transitions from microstate B to A(Spearman's rho=-0.30,P=0.015)and C to A(Spearman's rho=-0.31,P=0.013)were inversely associated with the scores of emotional abuse factors from childhood trauma in the patient group,showing statistically significant differences when comparing to the healthy controls(P<0.05).Upon stratification into quartiles based on the emotional abuse factor scores,the occurrence of microstate A,as well as the transition rates from microstates B to A and C to A,retained statistical significance following adjustment for multiple comparisons(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The abnormal temporal dynamics in brain networks of adolescents with depression are linked to childhood emotional abuse.Those who have suffered severe emotional abuse may show greater impairments in the brain's visual and central executive networks.EEG microstate analysis could be a potential tool for detecting adolescent depression with severe childhood trauma.
