Objective The chief aim of the present work is to investigate features of sternum of Chinese adults and to establish the sex determination method to evaluate its effect based on 3D recombinant morphology indicators. Methods Based on chest spiral CT scans, 2D images of multi-level recombination and 3D model of volume rendering, the experiment concludes an sex determination equation from 8 measurement indicators of the sternum and 3 ratio indicators. The 8 measurement indicators include full-length, handle length, body length, maximum width of the handle, maximum width of the body, maximum thickness of the handle, maximum thickness of the body, and thickness of the upper body. Results According to the 11 indicators of sex differences in statistics (P<0.05), especially indicators of the full-length, body length, maximum width of the handle and maximum thickness of the body, the body's sex is easier to be determined. All indicators equations, length indicators discriminant equations and stepwise discriminant equations have higher reliable rate (88.6%) which was consistent with the recent foreign research reports. Conclusion The method of sex determination based on multislice spiral CT 3D recombinant techniques is practicable and has an relatively high accuracy. It is expected to be applied to researches in age estimation by sternum and other virtual bones.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of total alkaloids from Picrasma quassioides(TAPQ)on collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)in rats. TAPQ were prepared by acid extraction and alkali precipitation. The qualitative analysis of TAPQ by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was carried out. Fourteen alkaloids were obtained and three of them were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC. The anti-inflammatory activity of TAPQ was investigated on RAW264. 7 induced by LPS. Dexamethasone was used as a positive control. The model of bovine type II collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis in SD rats was established. Daily tail intravenous injection of 0. 907 or 1. 814 mg/kg of TAPQ was administered for 18 days continuously, using dexamethasone as a positive control. The changes of mean arthritis scores in the paw of the rats and the volume of the paw were measured every day. Compared with the model group, the TAPQ significantly reduced the degree of paw swelling(P< 0. 001). After the rats were sacrificed, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum were measured. The TAPQ could significantly reduce the level of TNF-α(P< 0. 01)and IL-6(P< 0. 001). The pathological changes of the joints were observed by HE staining, the anti-inflammatory activity of TAPQ was good, and the degree of joint damage in rats was obviously reduced.

A new method based on rat liver microsomes and chromatographic fingerprint comparison was established to investigate the possible herb-drug interactions between Liuwei Dihuang Pills(LDP)and nifedipine(NIF). LDP and NIF were incubated simultaneously with rat liver microsomes at 37 °C for 60 min in a shaking water bath. The separation was achieved on a C18 column using 0. 1% formic acid solution and acetonitrile as mobile phase with a liner gradient program. The flow rate was set at 1. 0 mL/min. Detection was achieved by UV light at 240 nm. To evaluate the interactions between LDP and NIF, the similarity of the fingerprinting chromatograms before and after co-incubation was calculated by similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of TCM. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic experiments in rat suggested that there was no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters of the typical components in LDP.

Objective To discuss the role of empowerment management mode in radiation protection after 125I seed implantation.Methods A total of 66 patients,who received first-time 125I seed implantation at the authors'hospital from October 2020 to October 2022,were randomly divided into control group(n=33)and study group(n=33).The patients of the control group received traditional health education,while the patients of the study group received the empowerment management mode on the basis of the traditional health education.The self-efficacy,health education effect,and protection compliance were compared between the two groups.Results The self-efficacy,health education effect,and protective compliance of patients in the study group were better than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The implementation of health education by empowerment management mode can improve the effect of health education in patients after 125I seed implantation,and the patients can get better understanding about 125I seed therapy,which can strengthen their sense of self-efficacy and improve postoperative protection compliance,ensuring the safety of the surrounding crowd.The empowerment management mode is worthy of clinical promotion.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:82-85)

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of ABCB1 genotypes on the efficacy and safety of taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS By searching Embase，the Cochrane Library， PubMed， CNKI， and Wanfang databases， cohort studies and case-control studies about taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer were collected from the establishment of the database to July 2023. After screeningliterature， extracting data and evaluating quality， meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were included， involving 1 321 patients. There was no correlation between the three genotypes and effective rate， the incidence of myelosuppression， the incidence of neurotoxicity （except for the allele and recessive model of ABCB1 C1236T）， and the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions （P＞0.05）. The subgroup analysis showed that there was a correlation between ABCB1 C1236T dominant model and effective rate when using anthracyclines+5-fluorouracil+cyclophosphamide+taxanes （P＜0.05）， there was a correlation between ABCB1 C3435T recessive model and effective rate when using taxanes+trastuzumab （P＜0.05）. ABCB1 C1236T allele model and recessive model were correlated with sample size ≥100 and using cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+5- fluorouracil+paclitaxel or cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+paclitaxel+trastuzumab or cyclophosphamide+epirubicin+5-fluorouracil+ trastuzumab+paclitaxel regimens； recessive model with sample size ＜100 and the African region were correlated with the incidence of peripheral neuropathy； recessive model was correlated with cutaneous adverse reactions （P＜0.05）. ABCB1 C3435T recessive model was correlated with the incidence of reduced neutrophil count with sample size ≥100； the incidence of white blood cell count reduction with sample size ＜100 and using docetaxel+epirubicin+cyclophosphamide was correlated with both the allele model and the dominant model； the incidence of infections was correlated with the dominant model （P＜0.05）. The incidence of neutrophil count reduction with the sample size ＜100 was correlated with allele model of ABCB1 G2677T/A； the incidence of edema with sample size ≥100 was correlated with allele model and recessive model； the incidence of infection was correlated with allele model and dominant model， especially in patients with neutrophil count complicated with fever （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 genotypes are not correlated with effective rate of taxanes in the treatment of breast cancer， but ABCB1 C3435T genotype is associated with decreased neutrophil counts， decreased white blood cell counts and infections； ABCB1 C1236T genotype is associated with neurotoxicity and cutaneous adverse reactions； ABCB1 G2677T/A genotype is associated with decreased neutrophil counts， infections， and edema.

Activation of the heart normally begins in the sinoatrial node (SAN). Electrical impulses spontaneously released by SAN pacemaker cells (SANPCs) trigger the contraction of the heart. However, the cellular nature of SANPCs remains controversial. Here, we report that SANPCs exhibit glutamatergic neuron-like properties. By comparing the single-cell transcriptome of SANPCs with that of cells from primary visual cortex in mouse, we found that SANPCs co-clustered with cortical neurons. Tissue and cellular imaging confirmed that SANPCs contained key elements of glutamatergic neurotransmitter system, expressing genes encoding glutamate synthesis pathway (Gls), ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors (Grina, Gria3, Grm1 and Grm5), and glutamate transporters (Slc17a7). SANPCs highly expressed cell markers of glutamatergic neurons (Snap25 and Slc17a7), whereas Gad1, a marker of GABAergic neurons, was negative. Functional studies revealed that inhibition of glutamate receptors or transporters reduced spontaneous pacing frequency of isolated SAN tissues and spontaneous Ca
