Objective To study imaging features of neuronal tumors, and to evaluate the value of CT and MRI in diagnosing these tumors. Methods The CT and MRI studies in 10 patients with pathologically proved neuronal tumor were retrospectively reviewed. Results (1) CT showed a mixed attenuation cystic solid mass with calcification in 3 gangliogliomas; The mixed signal intensity on T 1 or T 2WI with heterogeneous contrast enhancement was common in ganglioglioma. (2)Three central neurocytomas had mixed signal intensity. (3)Three dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) had decreased signal intensity on T 1 weighted MR images and well demarcated increased signal intensity on T 2 weighted images without peritumoral edema and calcification. Prominent MR imaging features were a gyriform configuration on T 1 or T 2WI. The tumor contrast enhancement was not common; (4)A desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) was located in the frontal and parietal lobes, appearing as cystic tumors with a solid cortical component enhanced intensely. Conclusion Some neuronal tumors possess of specific imaging features, but diagnosis of the tumor with imaging modalities alone may be difficult. Therefore, combined clinical history could help to establish a correct diagnosis.

Objective:To describe the status of subjective well-being among junior high school students in a city of Jiangxi Province and to explore the relationship between family functioning and subjective well-being.To explore the relationship between growth environment and subjective well-being among ju-nior high school students in the perspective of family functioning and to provide basis and data for the mental health education among junior high school students.Methods:630 students in a junior high school in Jiangxi Province were sampled by stratified cluster sampling,and 103 junior high school students from 18 villages were sampled by household survey.They were investigated by subjective well-being scale for adolescents and Family Assessment Device.Results:(1)The overall subjective well-being of junior high school students was in the lower-middle level.Regarding all the dimensions of subjective well-being,they had the highest satisfaction on family and friendship,lowest academic satisfaction,low positive as well as passive emotion.(2)Girls had higher satisfaction on friendship and freedom than that of boys;children from families with more than one kids had more negative emotion than that of single child;boarding students had higher satisfaction on family,academics and freedom than that of non-boarding students;family residence and structure affected the satisfaction on family;grade and learning achievement affected some dimensions of subjective well-being among junior high school students.(3)Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis showed that some dimensions of family functioning were related to certain dimensions of subjective well-being among junior school students,and family functioning could predict the level of subjective well-being.Conclusion:The overall subjective well-being of junior high school students is in the lower-middle level,and further improving is needed.Family functioning has a great influence on junior school students' subjective well-being.Junior high school students who have healthy family functioning are more likely to have higher life satisfaction,and tend to experience higher subjective well-being.

OBJECTIVE：To establish characteristic chromatogram of Cornus officinalis and its different wine-processedproducts，investigate the differences of chromaticity values，and analyze them with chemical pattern recognition technology.METHODS：UPLC method was adopted. Using loganin as reference，UPLC characteristic chromatograms were drawn for 10batches of C. officinalis and 20 batches of different wine-processed products （stewing with wine，steaming with wine）. TCMFingerprint Similarity Evaluation System（2012A edition）was used for similarity evaluation，and common peaks were confirmed.The chromaticity values [lightness（L），red and green tone value（a），yellow and blue tone value（b），color difference value（ΔE）]were determined by spectrophotometer. SPSS 20.0 and SIMCA 14.0 software were used for cluster analysis，principal componentanalysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis；taking the area of characteristic peak and chromaticity value as indexes，andthe variable importance projection greater than 1 as the standard，the difference markers affecting its quality were screened.RESULTS：There were 6 common peaks in the chromatograms for decoction piece of C. officinalis，7 common peaks forwine-processed C. officinalis（stewing with wine）and wine-processed C. officinalis（steaming with wine）. Four components wereidentified as gallic acid，5-hydroxymethylfurfural，morroniside，loganin. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was produced after processing.The similarity between C. officinalis and different wine-processed products （stewing and steaming with wine） was low（0.869-0.937，0.845-0.944），but the similarity between different wine-processed products was higher than 0.99. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔEof C. officinalis decoction pieces and wine-processed C. officinalis decoction pieces（stewing in wine）were －9.42-－3.58，－24.92- －15.00，－11.33- －7.00 and 17.01-28.12，respectively. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔE of C. officinalis decoction pieces and wine-processed C. officinalis（steaming in wine）decoction pieces were －8.58-－2.42，－25.08-－13.83，－10.92-－6.08，15.58-28.67. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔE of wine-processed C. officinalis decoction pieces（stewing and steaming with wine）were －2.17-3.00，－0.75-2.50， 0.25-1.42 and 1.25-3.83，respectively. Results of cluster analysis showed that 30 batches of sample were clustered into two categories，S1-S10 were clustered into one category，and S11-S30 were clustered into other category. Principal component analysis showed that cumulative contribution rate of former two main components was 83.147％. Results of partial least squares-discriminant analysis showed that morroniside，No.5 peak and chromaticity values（L，a，b）were the difference markers affecting its quality. CONCLUSIONS：Established UPLC characteristic chromatogram is stable and feasible，and can be used to rapidly identify C. officinalis and its different wine-processed products. Established chemical mode can be used to identify different wine-processed products.

0.05).In addition,in different medication intervals and the same total dosage(200 mg),there was no difference in the number of patients who reached ASAS20,ASAS50 anti BASDAI50 in both groups.The changes of other parameters were not observed.Conclusion Two dosages and different medication interval of rhTNFR-Fc have similiar efficacy onset time and maintenee period.Mean- while,at the same total dosage,there is no signifieant difference in therapeutic effect in the two dosage groups. However,50 mg(1/7 d)regimen has better compliance than 25 mg(1/3 d).

Objective To investigate the role of CD4~+CD25~+ Treg cells on the pathogenesis of ankylos- ing spondylitis(AS), and to study the machanism of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-?blocker on the treatment of AS by detecting the number of CD4~+D25~+ Treg cells before and after the treatment. Methods The diagno- sis of 10 AS patients was made based on the 1984 modified New York criteria. The patients received subcuta- neou injection of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor-Fc fusion protein(rhTNFR-Fc)(etaner- cept)50 mg weekly for 8 weeks and 10 heathy subjects were enrolled for control. The mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood in beth patients and controls. The number of CD4~+CD25~+ T cells and CD4~+ CD25~(high)T cells and the expression of CTLA-4. were detected by flow cytometry. Results The proportion of CD4~+CD25~+ T cells(24?19)% in total CD4~+ T lymphocytes of peripheral blood and CD4~+CD25~(high)T/CD4~+ T (6?6)% from AS patients before treated with rhTNFR-Fc was higher than that in healthy volunteers and AS patients after treatment(P

The prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 in patients with cervical cancer, the physical status of HPV-16 in patients with cervical lesions, and the role of HPV-16 integration in cervical carcinogenesis were investigated. HPV genotyping was performed by using PCR approach with the primer GP5+/GP6+ and type-specific primer on biopsy specimens taken operatively from 198 women. Multiple PCR was done to detect physical status of HPV-16 in a series of cervical liquid-based cytology samples and biopsy specimens obtained from different cervical lesions with HPV-16 infection, including 112 specimens with cervical cancer, 151 specimens with CIN I, 246 specimens with CIN and 120 specimens with CINIII. The results showed that there were 112 cervical cancer samples (56.57% of total cervical cancer patients) with HPV-16 infection. The frequency of HPV-16 pure integration was 65.18% (73/112), 56.57% (47/120), 23.58% (58/246) and 7.95% (12/151) in cervical cancer, CINIII, CINII and CINI patients respectively. In situ hybridization was performed on some paraffin-embedded sections of CINII, CINIII and cervical cancer to verify the physical status of HPV-16 infection. Significant difference was observed between cervical cancer and CIN I, CINII, CINIII in the frequency of HPV-16 integration (P<0.01). It is suggested that HPV-16 is the most prevalent type and is associated with cervical cancer. In the case of HPV-16 infection there are close associations between the severity of cervical lesions and the frequency of HPV-16 integration. The application of testing HPV genotyping and physical status based on detection of HC-II HPV DNA would be in favor of predicting the prognosis of cervical precancerosis and enhancing the screening accuracy of cervical cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of full-responsibility nursing model in rehabilitation exercise on patients with chronic heart failure (HF).Methods Eighty-six patients with HF were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 43 cases in each group.sixteen nurses were randomly divided into A and B group ; A group carried out full - responsibility nursing model and was in charge of the rehabilitation exercise of observation group,B group carried out routine holistic nursing model and was in charge of the rehabilitation exercise of control group.After 4 weeks,the effects including EF,6MWT,the knowing of rehabilitation exercise,satisfaction to the hospital were evaluated.Results Before rehabilitation exercise,there were no significant differences in EF and 6MWT( P ＞ 0.05 ).After 4 weeks,EF was( 54.13 ± 9.12 ) and 6MWT was (402.63 ± 74.81 ) in the observation group,while EF was (43.26 ± 8.57 ) and 6MWT was ( 336.16 ±75.82) in the control group.There were significant differences between the two groups ( t =2.093,2.145 ; P ＜0.05).there were significant differences before and after rehabilitation exercise in two groups ( P ＜ D.05 ).After 4 weeks,EF and 6MWT of the two groups were both increased,but the effect of the observation group was better (P ＜ 0.05 ). After 4 weeks,there were significant differences in the knowing of rehabilitation exercise and the satisfaction to the hospital in the two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Full-responsibility nursing model in rehabilitation exercise can make an effective effect.

OBJECTIVETo investigate if the interaction between TGF-beta1/Smad pathway and ERK pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells exists.

METHODSThe rat arota was removed. The primary VSMC were isolated and cultured in vitro, then the VSMC were divided into four groups: (1) control group, (2) (TGF-beta1 group, (3) ERK blocking agent group, (4) TGF-beta1 + ERK blocking agent group. The expression of Smad2/3, ERK1/2 proteins, the content of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and Smad2/3 proteins were detected by Western blot, and the expression of Smad2/3 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) .

RESULTS(1) In contrast to control group, the content of phosphorylated Smad2/3 and phosphorylated ERK1/2 proteins in TGF-beta1 group was increased (P < 0.05), that in ERK blocking agent group was decreased (P < 0.05). There was no difference between control group and TGF-beta1 + ERK blocking agent group. Compared with TGF-beta1 group, the contents of phosphorylated Smad2/3 and phosphorylated ERK1/2 proteins in TGF-beta1 + ERK blocking agent group was decreased (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the expression of Smad2/3 and ERK1/2 proteins among different groups. (2) There were no differences in expression of Smad2 and Smad3 mRNA among different groups.

CONCLUSION(1) TGF-beta1 can induce Smad2/3 proteins to be phosphorylated dependent on the activated ERK pathway. (2) ERK pathway does not effect the expression of Smad2/3 at the level of protein and mRNA.

AIMTo investigate the effect of taurine on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide products (NO2 /NO3 ) content in myocardium and plasma during shock resuscitation.

METHODSTwenty-four rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups (n=8): control group, shock group, taurine group. The model of hemorrhagic shock resuscitation was used. The activities of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the contents of nitric oxide products (NO2- /NO3-) in plasma were observed before shock and shock 1.5 hours, after resuscitation 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours. The activities of NOS and the contents of NO2-/NO3- in myocardium homogenate were measured after resuscitation 3 hours. Meanwhile, pathologic samples treated routinely.

RESULTS(1) During resuscitation, the activities of NOS, LDH and the contents of NO2- /NO3- in plasma of shock group were significantly higher than that of before shock and shock 1.5 hours (P < 0.01). (2) After resuscitation 3 hours, the activity of NOS and the contents of NO2- / NO3 in myocardium of shock group were significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.01). The cardiac myocyte appeared edema, fatty degeneration. (3) All the changes of above mentioned could be attenuated by intravenous injection taurine (40 mg/kg) (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that the NOS activation and NO release may mediated myocardium injury induced by shock resuscitation, taurine can ameliorate the myocardium injury, which may be related to decreasing the generation of NO.

AIMTo approach the relationship between lung injury induced by shock/reperfusion and nitric oxide as well as the beneficial effect of taurine.

METHODSTwenty four rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups (n = 8): control group, shock group, taurine group. The model of lung injury induced by shock/reperfusion was used. The activities of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide products (NO2-/NO3-) in plasma and lung homogenate, lung wet/dry weight, lung water content, lung permeability index, and protein content in the pulmonary alveolar lavage fluid were measured. Meanwhile, pathologic samples treated routinely.

RESULTS(1) At 3 hours after reperfusion, the activities of SOD in plasma and lung homogenate decreased markedly, but the other indexes above mentioned were increased significantly compared with the control group (P < 0.01). (2) A close correlation was shown between MDA content and NO2-/NO3- content in plasma and lung. Furthermore, the content of NO2-/NQ3- in lung homogenate showed strong positive correlation with the lung injury parameters. (3) Taurine (40 mg x kg(-1) i.v.) could attenuate all the changes above mentioned at the same time points of reperfusion.

CONCLUSIONNO may play an important role in lung injury induced by shock/reperfusion. Taurine can ameliorate the lung injury, mechanism of which may be related to decreasing the generation of NO and anti-lipoperoxidation.
