Objective To compare SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI in the diagnosis of benign hip lesions. Methods Twenty-two patients suspected avascular necrosis of femoral head with hip discomfort, pain or action limited were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent radionuclide bone scan and MR examination within 5 days, and the diagnosis was proved with clinical follow-up. Results Eighteen necrosis of the femoral head and 4 hip arthritis including 1 patient with ankylosing spondylitis were found in 44 hip joints of 22 patients. MRI detected 17 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis, while SPECT/CT fusion image found out 18 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis. There was corresponding relationship in signs of hip lesions between MRI and SPECT/CT fusion imaging. Conclusion SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI has no markedly difference in the diagnosis of hip benign lesions, and is complementary to each other. SPECT/CT fusion image can distinguish the hip lesions from the femoral head lesions, and has a higher accuracy of diagnosing hip lesions than whole body bone scanning.

This study was aimed to investigate effects of electroacupunture on PC6-Ne iguan and PC5-Jians hi points on heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) in fear emotion. A total of 120 healthy volunteers were randomly allo-cated into the acupuncture group and control group, with 60 cases in each group. After 20 min frightening audio stimulation, volunteers in the acupuncture group received electroacupunture on PC6 and PC5 of both sides for 20 min and continued to repose for 20 min after needles were removed. Volunteers in the control group reposed for 40 min in the waking state. The heart rate and HRV of each subject was recorded during the whole process through Actiheart. The results showed that the experiment data was divided into two parts, rate rise and decreased or un-changed parts, after listening to audio and analyzed, respectively. Compared to the period of listening for 20 min, there were significant differences on average heart rate, HF, LF/HF of the post listening period between the acupunc-ture group and the control group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences on average heart rate, RMSSD, HF under the condition of heart rate decreasing or unchanging after 20 min (P < 0.05). It was concluded that elec-troacupunture on PC6 and PC5 had immediate regulating and post effects on autonomic nerve and bidirectional regu-lations of the plant nerve function disorder caused by fear, which can treat diseases through excitatory or inhibitory vagus nerve function.

Objective To construct the male and female rat model of fluorosis and to explore the gender difference in fluorosis. Methods A total of 48 clean-grade SD rats with the body weight of about 150 g (male∶female=1∶1) were equally divided into the control group and fluorosis model group. Rats in the fluorosis model group were fed with fluorine-containing (100 mg/kg) feedstuff. The general condition, changes in body weight and dental fluorosis of the rats were observed every three days. A batch of female and male rats were sacrificed by femoral artery bleeding on the 70th and 110th day of experiment, respectively, when all rats showed dental fluorosis. The levels of urinary fluoride and bone fluoride of the rats were measured by a fluoride ion-selective electrode. Results All the male and female rats in the control group did not show dental fluorosis during the entire experiment. The female and male rats in the fluorosis group showed dental fluorosis visible to naked eye began approximately on the 60th and 80th day, respectively, indicating that the appearance of dental fluorosis of the male rats was about 20 days later than the female rats. After 30 days or so, the male and female rats went into a rapid growth period, and there were significant differences between the body weights of the male and female rats (P< 0. 01). The body weight of the male and female rats in the fluorosis group was higher than that of the control group on the 110th day. With the progression of fluorosis, the levels of urinary fluoride and bone fluoride of the rats were gradually increased, and finally significantly higher than those of the control group (P< 0. 01). There was a positive correlation between the levels of urinary and bone fluoride and the time of fluorosis. The levels of urinary and bone fluoride of the male rats were significantly higher than those of the female rats (P< 0. 01), indicating that they are affected by gender. Conclusions The body weight of the rat model of fluorosis, the starting time when dental fluorosis occurs and the levels of urinary and bone fluorine are all different between male and female rats.
