Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of tracking movement of normal patellar using volume scan on sensation 320 CT. Method Data of dynamic scans of 30 knees was collected using the motor function of 320 CT and retrospectively analyzed. The data of movement of the patellorfemoral joint was obtained during flexion (from 0° to 120°) within 10-sec by 320 CT from all volunteers. The 3D coordinate of the center of patella was recorded to investigate the dispose relation of patellofemoral joint.Result With the knee angle changed from 0° to 90°, the patella moved rapidly along the Y-axis direction ( sagittal plane) down about (53.87 ± 0. 45 ) mm, and then entered the plateau phase with little change.When the knee flexion reached 10°-30° ,the patellar movement along the X-axis reached the largest range of (2. 31 ±0. 52)-(3.36 ± 0. 43 ) mm, and subsequently moved to the opposite lateral direction with the maximum about (8. 53 ± 0. 44 ) mm at 120°. In the Z axis, the track initially showed plateau, and then presented a rapidly downward trend after 30°. The patellar tracking is like an outward arc during the whole knee flexion. Conclusion The motor functional imaging of 320 CT can pinpoint the patelar tracking in a fast, painless way.

BACKGROUND: Ethanol chemical damage method can be used to establish thin endometrium rat model. Expression of proliferation-related proteins is decreased in thin endometrium animal model, which contributes to the study of thin endometrium-related mechanism and provides guidance for clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To explore the changes in vimentin and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in rat modelsof high concentrations of ethanol-induced thin endometrium. METHODS: 0.3 mL 95% ethanol was slowly injected in the right uterus of female Sprague-Dawley rats to establish rat models of thin endometrium. An equal volume of physiological saline was injected into the left uterus as control sides. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The thickness of endometrium in the injured uterus was significantly thinner than the control ones. Number of glands reduced, structure became disorder, and vimentin and vascular endothelial growth factor expression markedly diminished. These results suggest that 95% ethanol injury can effectively establish rat models of thin endometrium. Proliferation-related protein expression altered in the thin endometrium.

BACKGROUND:Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is involved in the process of a variety of diseases, and plays a very important role in the tumor, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, angiogenesis, fibrotic diseases and so on. These biological characteristics are similar to keloids. OBJECTIVE: To compare the distribution and number of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in normal skin, hypertrophic scar and keloid. METHODS: We colected 40 clinical pathological scar specimens after surgery, including 20 hypertrophic scars and 20 keloids. Another 10 samples of the normal skin were used as control group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to test the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in pathological scars and normal skin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Macrophage migration inhibitory factor was positively expressed in the normal skin, hypertrophic scar and keloid, and the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in keloid was significantly higher than that in hypertrophic scar and normal skin (P < 0.01). It means that the abnormal infiltration of macrophage migration inhibitory factor may be associated with the formation of keloid.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and expressions of different viral genes on CDC37 level in hepatocytes.
METHODSWe amplified and cloned 6 HBV genes (P, preS1, preS2, S, C and X) into pCMV expression vectors, which were transfected in Huh7 and HepG2 hepatoma cell lines, and CDC37 expression level in the cells was detected using Western blotting. Wealso cloned the promoter sequence of CDC37 into pGL3 vector, and co-transfected pGL3 with pCMV recombinant plasmids into Huh7 and HepG2 cells and the fluorescent signals were detected. To study the influence of HBV replication on CDC37 expression, we constructed 1.28-copy overlength genomes of HBV genotypes B, C, D and CD recombinant. The overlength HBV genomes were transformed into Adeasier-1 cells for recombination and into 293 cells for packaging. Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines infected with the packaged HBV recombinant adenoviruses were examined for CDC37 expression with Western blotting.
RESULTSWestern blotting showed that the expression of different HBV genes did not obviously affect the protein level of CDC37 in the hepatocytes. The protein expression of HBV genes had no effect on the activity of CDC37 promoter. Huh7 and HepG2 cells infected with 1.28-copy HBV replicon showed no significant changes in the expression level of CDC37.
CONCLUSIONHBV replication and its gene expression have no effect on the level of CDC37 in hepatocytes in vitro.

Objective To explore the safety and short?term efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE)ablation which is a novel ablation technology in unresectable hepatic neoplasms. Methods Patients with pathologically diagnosed as liver cancer or liver metastases were prospectively enrolled. The patients were not suitable for surgery with PS score ≤ 2. Exclusion criteria included who was not tolerate general anesthesia, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, and with cardiac pacemaker. A total of 16 patients were included in this study. There was 12 males and 4 females, aged 40 to 86 years with mean age (60 ± 10)y. Ultrasound and CT guided percutaneous IRE ablation was performed. Perioperative hemodynamic changes were reviewed. Liver and kindey function before and 7 d after ablation was compare by t test. The adverse reactions within 30 d after ablation treatment were recorded. CT and MR scans within 1 month were performed and the 30 d curative effect was evaluated by the modified RECIST criteria. Results All patients received IRE treatment successfully, and some patients experienced adverse reactions within 30 days after ablation, including abdominal pain in 7 cases, peritoneal effusion in 5 cases, hydrothorax in 4 cases, fever in 3 cases, cough, nausea and vomiting in 2 cases, biliary tract infection and thrombocytopenia in 1 case. After symptomatic treatment, these symptoms were improved. Severe complications, such as massive haemorrhage and bile leakage didn't occur. At 30 days after ablation, the curative effects were evaluated. Complete response (CR) was achieved in 1 patient , partial response (PR) was achieved in 12 patients, stable disease (SD) was in 2 patients , and progressive disease(PD) was 1 patients . The tumor relief rate (complete response+partial response) was 81.3%. Conclusions IRE ablation in the treatment of unresectable hepatic malignant tumor could have many advantages, including high safety, mild adverse reactions, and short?term efficacy. However, its long?term effect still need further observation.

In recent years, large numbers of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified in C. elegans but their functions are still not well studied. In C. elegans, CEP-1 is the sole homolog of the p53 family of genes. In order to obtain transcription profiles of ncRNAs regulated by CEP-1 under normal and UV stressed conditions, we applied the 'not-so-random' hexamers priming strategy to RNA sequencing in C. elegans, This NSR-seq strategy efficiently depleted rRNA transcripts from the samples and showed high technical replicability. We identified more than 1,000 ncRNAs whose apparent expression was repressed by CEP-1, while around 200 were activated. Around 40% of the CEP-1 activated ncRNAs promoters contain a putative CEP-1-binding site. CEP-1 regulated ncRNAs were frequently clustered and concentrated on the X chromosome. These results indicate that numerous ncRNAs are involved in CEP-1 transcriptional network and that these are especially enriched on the X chromosome in C. elegans.
