OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on cochlea morphology and expression of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in guinea pigs with endolymphatic hydrops, so as to explore the possible mechanism of EA on endolymphatic hydrops.

METHODSForty guinea pigs were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a medication group and an EA group, 10 guinea pigs in each one. Model of endolymphatic hydrops was established by using intraperitoneal injection of aldosterone. Guinea pigs in the blank group and model group were treated with identical immobilization as EA group but no treatment was given; guinea pigs in the medication group were treated with intragastric administration of hydrochlorothiazide at a dose of 5 mg/kg, once a day for consecutive 10 days; guinea pigs in the EA group were treated with' EA at "Baihui" (GV 20) and "Tinggong"(SI 19), once a day for consecutive 10 days. The serum ionic concentration in each group was tested by turbidimetric method; hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to measure the severity of cochlea hydrops; immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expression of AQP1 in the cochlea.

RESULTS(1) There was no endolymphatic hydrops in the blank group, moderate-severe endolymphatic hydrops in the model group and slight endolymphatic hydrops in the EA group and medication group. (2) The concentration of K+ and Ca2+ in the EA group was higher than that in the model group and medication group (all P<0. 01); the concentration of Na+ was lower than that in the model group (P< 0. 01) but higher than that in the medication group (P<0. 01); the concentration of Cl- was higher than that in the medication group (P<0. 01), but not significantly different from the model group (P>0. 05). (3) The ratio of expression area of AQP1 in the model group was lower than that in the blank group (P<0. 01); the ratio of expression area of AQP1 in the EA group was higher than that in the model group (P<0. 01), and lower than that in the medication group without significant difference (P>0. 05).

CONCLUSIONEA could relieve the endolymphatic hydrops in guinea pigs; the mechanism is likely to be related with up-regulating the expression of AQP1 in cochlea and ion concentration might be an important factor involved.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a special autoimmune-mediated pancreatitis with the clinical manifestation of obstructive jaundice, and it often has good response to steroids. At present, AIP is classified into type 1 and type 2. The imaging findings of AIP include diffuse or localized pancreatic parenchymal enlargement, and the former is also called the “sausage-shaped” appearance. Imaging examinations of AIP have their own advantages and disadvantages. Ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, PET-CT, and PET-MR help with diagnosis and differential diagnosis and can be used for the monitoring and follow-up of clinical outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the atypical computed tomography (CT) features of primary small intestinal lymphoma (PSIL), and its correlation with pathology. Methods: From July 2007 to June 2018, at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the clinical features and CT imaging data of 29 histopathologically diagnosed PSIL with atypical CT features were retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 29 cases were all confirmed as Non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma including 23 cases of B cell lymphoma and six cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma. In 24 PSIL patients, the intestinal wall was unevenly thickened. While five cases had intra- and extra-intestinal masses. Images of four PSIL patients showed heterogeneous density at unenhanced CT scan, five cases presented with heterogeneous mild to moderate enhancement and five cases demonstrated with obvious enhancement at portal venous phase. Multiple ulcers in mucosa were found in 20 cases, and obviously abnormal mucosal enhancement was found in five cases, and 13 cases showed rough serosa layer of intestinal wall and the fat gap around the intestinal wall disappeared. Adjacent organs were involved in four cases and intestinal obstruction occurred in eight cases. Conclusion The atypical imaging of PSIL can be heterogeneous density of the lesion, heterogeneous or obvious enhancement at enhanced scan, multiple ulcers on the mucosal surface, thickening of the mucosal surface, blurred peripheral fat space, involvement of adjacent organs and intestinal obstruction.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of modified acute aortic dissection risk score in the early diagnosis of acute aortic dissection (AAD).Methods:The general, clinical, and imaging data of 162 patients who complained of chest and back pain who received treatment between January 2019 and January 2021 in the Department of Emergency, The Second Hospital of Jiaxing, China were collected for this study. The included patients were divided into control (non-AAD, n = 120) and observation (AAD, n = 42) groups according to whether they were diagnosed with AAD. The indexes with statistical significance between the two groups were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A score table was established according to the size of OR value. The modified AAD risk score was predicted using the receiver operating curve. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male sex, family history, sudden severe chest and back pain, bilateral blood pressure asymmetry, hypertension, abnormal ultrasound, and D-dimer level were independent risk factors for the diagnosis of AAD (statistical values = 7.84, 6.96, 7.04, 11.38, 7.12, 8.15, 15.07, 9.11, all P < 0.05). Taking the total score of 5 as the prediction standard, the specificity and sensitivity in the prediction of the occurrence of AAD were 84.94% and 95.43%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating curve regarding the modified AAD risk score was 0.909. Conclusion:The modified AAD risk score can be used to conveniently and quickly predict the occurrence of AAD and has a high predictive value. This study is highly innovative and scientific.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of Huoxue Rongluo Decoction on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) rats; To clarify the expression of AMPK signaling pathway during HIBD injury and repair.Methods:On the basis of the hypoxia ischemia reperfusion model, an improved hypoxia bottle was used to establish a full-term HIBD rat model. Totally 60 successfully modeled mice were divided into model group and TCM group using a random number table method, with 30 mice in each group and 30 mice in a control group. Two hours before surgery, TCM group was orally administered with Huoxue Rongluo Decoction 1.17 g/100 g (equivalent dose). The control group and model group were orally administered with equal volume of physiological saline. Two hours after surgery, it was orally administered again, twice a day, for consecutive 5 d. Behavioral tests (convulsion assessment, Longa score, suspension test, water maze test) were used to evaluate the motor nerve function and long-term learning ability of young rats in different groups. HE staining and electron microscopy were used to observe the pathological changes of brain tissue and mitochondrial damage. Evans blue (EB) staining and brain water content measurement were used to detect blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema. The expression of AMPK signaling pathway related genes in brain tissues of different groups of young rats was detected by PCR array technique.Results:Compared with the model group, the convulsions of the rats in the TCM group were improved, the Longa score was significantly reduced, the grip strength test score and suspension time were significantly improved, the escape latency was significantly shortened, and the number of crossing platforms significantly increased ( P<0.05); the degree of neuronal and mitochondrial damage in the TCM group was reduced, and cerebral vascular permeability and brain water content were significantly reduced ( P<0.01). The results of PCR array showed that compared with the control group, 2 genes were significantly up-regulated and 12 genes were significantly down-regulated in the brain tissue of the model group; compared with TCM group, 15 genes were relatively down-regulated in the model group. Conclusion:Huoxue Rongluo Decoction can significantly reduce the degree of brain injury after HIBD, improve the motor nerve function and long-term learning and cognitive ability of model rats, and its damage repair mechanism is related to the expression regulation of AMPK signaling pathway related genes.

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) related upper extremity venous thrombosis (UEVT) in patients with head and neck neoplasm so as to provide a basis for preventing thrombosis.Methods:This study used the design of prospective cohort study. From January 2016 to March 2018, UEVT follow-up examination by B ultrasound was carried out for 1 137 head and neck neoplasm patients with PICC selected by convenience sampling. Single factor and multivariate Cox regression were used to determine the risk factors of PICC related UEVT.Results:There were 3.6% (41/1 137) of patients with PICC related UEVT. Multivariate Cox regression showed that the independent risk factors of PICC related UEVT included the older patients ( RR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.07, P=0.013) , being with a history of PICC catheterization ( RR=3.22, 95% CI: 1.53-6.77, P=0.002) and high frequency of catheter delivery ( RR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.30-3.00, P=0.001) . Conclusions:Patients with head and neck neoplasm have the low incidence of PICC related UEVT. The independent risk factors of PICC related UEVT in patients with head and neck neoplasm include the older ages, history of PICC catheterization and high frequency of catheter delivery. Positive intervention should be carried out for those patients which may reduce the incidence of PICC related thrombosis.
