ObjectiveTo study the speciality of hemodynamics in middle cerebral artery(MCA) by means of transcranial color Doppler ultrasound(TCCD) at different tilting angles in patients with cervical and thoracic spinal cord injury.Methods48 patients with spinal cord injury were involved. The velocity of peak systolic(PSV), end diastolic(EDV) and mean velocity(MV) of MCA on the tiltable at 0°,30°,60°,80° were measured.ResultsThere was no significant difference in PSV between 0°and 30°(P>0.05), while EDV and MV showed very significant (P<0.01)from 0°to 30°,60°and 80° position. From 0°to 60°,80°,there were differences not only at EDV and MV, but also PSV(P<0.01).ConclusionThe velocities of MCA were changed at different tilting angles in the patients with spinal cord injury.

ObjectiveTo study the features of lower limb vein thrombus patients after spinal cord injury and the effects of thrombolysis therapy.MethodsWe practiced ultrasonography on 207 patients with lower limb swelling after spinal cord injury. ResultsAmong the 207 patients, 66 had thrombus, the positive rate was 31%: acute thrombus 58 cases, subacute thrombus 1 cases and chronic thrombus 7 cases. Conclusions Ultrasonography provides an important basis for the qualitative diagnoses of lower limb vein thrombus. It has certain clinical guiding effects in choosing methods of treatment.

Background Glucocorticoid is a common drug for treatment of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) with good effectiveness.But some adverse reactions of glucocorticoid are inevitable.At recent years,99technetium-methylene bisphosphonate(99Tc-MDP) is being paid more and more attentions in the treatment of TAO,but its effectiveness and safety is worthy of comparison to traditional treatment methods.Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO.Methods The Cochrane Library,CNKI,PubMed,Wanfang database,Weipu net were searched in computer and Google Scholar was searched manually.The randomized controlled trail (RCT) of intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO were collected from establishment of database through April,2012.The quality of included literature was assessed based on the methodology of the study.The evaluating indexes included the primary treating outcomes,such as total efficacy,exophthalmic extent and recurrence rate as well as secondary outcomes such as adverse effect.RevMan 5.1 software was used for Mate analysis.Results A total of 11 RCTs were identified with 706 patients.Subgroup analysis was carried out based on the outcome measures and intervention.No significant difference was found in the overall effective rate between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and immunosuppressive treatment (RR =0.96,95 ％ CI:0.76 to 1.22,P=0.740).However,the effective rate was significant different between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR =1.25,95 ％ CI:1.06-1.46,P =0.007) or between intravenous injection of 99 Tc-M DP and the blank control group (RR =2.53,95 ％ CI:1.68-3.81,P =0.000).Significant difference also was found in the total effective rate between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP with methyprednisone and methyprednisone alone (RR =1.27,95％ CI:1.05-1.53,P =0.010).There were significant differences in the effective rate of proptosis between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR=2.02,95％ CI:1.44-3.56,P=0.020).The recurrence rate of TAO was significant different between intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP and oral prednisone (RR =0.51,95％ CI:0.33-0.78,P=0.002).Less adverse responses were seen in the intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP group than the oral prednisone group and immunosuppressive treatment group.Conclusions Intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP for TAO appears to be of a similar effectiveness to immunosuppressive method.The combination of intravenous injection of 99Tc-MDP with methyprednisone seems to be more effective than methyprednisone alone,with little systemic adverse effect after application.

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between 18F-FDG uptake and tumor cell density,glucose transporter expression,cellular proliferation and angiogenesis before and after radiotherapy in C6 glioma rats.MethodsThirty C6 glioma-bearing male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:A,B and C ( 10 rats in each group).Two weeks later,18F-FDG PET/CT was performed in group A.In groups B and C,18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed at 48 h and 1 week after radiotherapy,respectively.The ratio of SUVmax of tumor to muscle (T/M) was calculated.HE staining,immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were used to measure tumor cell density,Ki67 labeling index ( LI),microvessel density ( MVD),Glut-1 and VEGF expression quantitatively.The one-way analysis of variance and bivariate correlation analysis were used to compare the changes of each indicator and evaluate the correlation between T/M and biological indicators,respectively.Results Significant differences of T/M,tumor cell density,Ki67 LI,MVD,Glut-1 and VEGF among groups A,B and C were observed ( F =6.77,60.66,104.56,95.49,9.13,24.48,respectively,all P ＜0.05).Least significant difference (LSD) test showed that there was no significant difference between group A and B in T/M,tumor cell density and Ki67 LI ( 10.86 ± 3.31,730.50 ± 78.93,20.02 ± 2.14 vs 9.23 ± 4.56,672.70 ± 92.98,18.56 ± 2.26).However,the indicators of group C (5.16 ± 2.52,355.60 ± 72.62,7.81 ± 1.76 ) were significantly decreased compared with those of groups A and B (all P ＜0.05 ).MVD and Glut-1 expression of group B increased slightly compared with those of group A ( 19.50 ± 1.96,0.20 ± 0.09 vs 17.90 ± 2.02,0.15 ± 0.04),but the difference was not statistically significant.Nevertheless,the two indicators were significantly decreased in group C ( 8.40 +1.84 and 0.07 ±0.06,P ＜0.05).VEGF expression in group B (0.42 ±0.13) was significantly higher than that in groups A and C (0.17 ±0.04 and 0.16 ± 0.09) ( both P ＜ 0.05 ).The changes of T/M were positively correlated with the changes of tumor cell density between groups A and B ( r =O.81,P ＜ 0.05 ).Changes of T/M were positively correlated with the changes of tumor cell density,Ki67 LI,MVD and Glut-1 between groups A and C (r =O.83,0.71,0.68,0.62,all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe changes of 18 F-FDG uptake in C6 glioma rats were only correlated to the changes of tumor cell density at 48 h after radiotherapy.However,the changes of 18F-FDG uptake closely correlate to the changes of a variety of biological indicators at 1 week post radiotherapy.
