Objective To investigate the value of selective water excitation technique for the assessment of articular cartilage.Methods MR sagittal scanning of knee joints was performed in the fifteen healthy volunteers.MR scan sequences were 3D-FFE-SPIR and 3D-FFE-WATS.The signal noise ratio (SNR)of the cartilage,the contrast noise ratio(CNR)between cartilage and adjacent tissue and their efficiency were calculated and analyzed statistically.Tweenty-nine patients who were suspected having cartilage injury were performed MR examination anti the image characteristics and the detecting ability of each sequence on cartilage lesions were analyzed.Results In the healthy volunteers,the cartilage SNR was 3D-FFE-SPIR:197.93?18.58,3D-FFE-WATS:187.32?21.50(P=0.159).CNR(cartilage/bone)was 3D-FFE-SPIR:185.50?18.34,3D-FFE-WATS:169.55?24.57(P=0.054).CNR(cartilage/muscle)was 3D-FFE-SPIR:61.40?19.04,3D-FFE-WATS:47.27?21.05(P=0.064).The cartilage SNR and CNR between cartilage and bone,muscle of 3D-FFE-SPIR weren't significantly higher than that of 3D-FFE- WATS.CNR(cartilage/liquid)was 3D-FFE-SPIR:91.53?14.46,3D-FFE-WATS:149.28?32.30(P= 0.000).CNR(cartilage/marrow)was 3D-FFE-SPIR:159.26?18.83,3D-FFE-WATS:176.87? 22.50(P=0.028).CNR(cartilage/fat)was 3 D-FFE-SPIR:134.56?15.80,3D-FFE-WATS:154.01? 22.42(P =0.010).The CNR between cartilage and liquid,marrow,fat were higher in 3D-FFE-WATS and significantly different than that of 3D-FFE-SPIR.Thirty detected cartilage injuries of patients were 3D-FFE- WATS:39,3D-FFE-SPIR:45 and there was no statistical difference between them(P=0.37). Conclusion 3D-FFE-WATS can show the articular cartilage clearly.It has high scan speed and suppress the fat signal evenly.Its ability for finding cartilage damage is equal to that of 3D-FFE-SPIR.So WATS can be used in the routine clinical cartilage examination.

AIM　To Detect the varying of gene expression in cultured dorsal root ganglion cells treated by Nerve Regeneration Factor and explore its molecular mechanism promoting to nerve growth. METHODS　By RT-PCR, the change of gene expression in GAP-43 and NF-L on the cultured DRG cells with Nerve Regeneration Factor were studied during 4 h, 12 h, 24 h. RESULTS　The expression of GAP-43 and NF-L were increased by Nerve Regeneration Factor on DRG′s culture. CONCLUSION　This study indicated Nerve Regeneration Factor may up-regulate the gene expression associated nerve growth on cultured nervous cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation between nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test results and metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods In this prospective study,75 cases were enrolled,including 25 healthy volunteers (group A),25 erectile dysfunction (ED) patients with normal NPT results (group B),and 25 ED patients with abnormal NPT results (group C).At the time of recruitment,all the participants had serum total testosterone higher than 9.9 nmol/L,and were free of MS.At baseline,there was no significant differences in waistline,body mass index,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),mean arterial pressure (MAP),triglyceride,high density lipoprotein (HDL),cholesterol,and serum total testosterone among the three groups (P＞0.05).And there was no significant difference in international index of erectile function 5 score between group B and C.A follow-up survey was conducted three years after baseline to measure the above metabolic indicators and to compare the incidence of MS among the three groups.Results In the three-year follow-up survey,2 participants in group A were lost to follow-up,compared to 3 participants in group B and 5 participants in group C.In the three-year follow-up survey,there was no significant difference in all the indicators between group A and B; between group A and C,significant differences were observed in MAP,FPG,HDL,and cholesterol (P＜0.05); between group B and C,significant differences were observed in MAP and HDL (P＜0.05).In the three-year follow-up survey,2 participants in group A developed MS,compared to 3 MS patients in group B and 7 MS patients in group C.There was a significant difference in the incidence of MS among the three groups (P＜0.05).Conclusions To some extent,NPT reflects and predicts the development and progress of MS.Therefore,NPT can be used as an early indicator of MS.

Objective To discuss the effect of interferon ?-2a on the radiosensitivity and cell cycle for nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-I. Methods Interferon ?-2a was given by different concentration. Then the cells were radiated with X-ray (6?MV) and the cell survival rate was calculated. The change of cell cycle dynamics was measured with flow cytometry. Results The cell survival fraction was 0.62, 0.43 and 0.20 respectively after the interferon ?-2a was given by different concentration(0.5?106, 1.0?106 and 1.5?106?IU/L). The radiosensitization ratio was 1.16, 1.57 and 1.93 respectively. Compared with the control group, increasing cell percentage in G_1 and G_2+M phage and decreasing cell percentage in S phage were observed on 24 h after the interferon ?-2a(1?106?IU/L) was given(P

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) can cause immunosuppression on herds. PCV2, as an essential pathogen of PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), has caused considerable economic losses in pig industry worldwide. Here we review and address the evolution, viral protein and immunolesion of PCV2 and preventive techniques of PCV2-SD.

The diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer are being improved due to the popularized screening of prostate specific antigen. Advanced prostate cancer, in spite of its response to androgen deprivation therapy, may finally develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and shorten the overall survival of the patients. Many efforts have been made by worldwide researchers for new approaches to the management of CRPC, including new hormonal therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and bone metastasis-targeted therapy. This paper reviews the emerging agents undergoing clinical evaluation and drugs that have received approval for the treatment of CRPC in order to provide doctors and patients with more treatment options for CRPC and improve the overall survival rate and quality of life of the patients.
