Objective: To analyze auditory verbal memory impairment after isolated stroke lesions in subcerebral structure. Methods: Auditory verbal memory function was examined in 25 normal elderly and 83 patients at 20th day after their admission to hospital for acute cerebrovascular disease with non-aphasiaand solitary lesions as identified by cranial CT or MRI. Results: Test findings suggested patients with stroke of internal capsule-basal ganglia, cerebellum and pons lesion have processing impairments of recent memory and subjective organization which are related to concentration and arousal levels. Conclusion: Stroke of subcortical regions such as lesions of thalamus,internal capsule-basal ganglia,cerebellum and pons may induce memory impairments with unique impaired cognitive coding modalities.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) combined with low T3 syndrome and its prognosis.Method Eighty-seven ACS patients with low free triiodothyronine (FT3) level (low FT3 group) and additional 64 ACS patients with normal FT3 level(control group) were selected in parallel; all the patients underwent coronary angiography.The contents of FT3,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were recorded,and the related factors were evaluated.The number of stenotic vessels was calculated.Results The contents of NT-proBNP,cTnI and hs-CRP in low FT3 group were elevated significantly compared with those in control group [(1242.14 ± 226.32) ng/L vs.(1126.36 ±195.55) ng/L,(0.92 ± 0.23) ng/L vs.(0.84 ± 0.19) ng/L,(6.46 ± 2.25) mg/L vs.(5.71 ± 1.78) mg/L],and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The contents of FT3 were negatively correlated with NT-proBNP,cTnI and hs-CRP in two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of stenotic vessels between two groups (x2 =4.512,P =0.105).Conclusion In patients with ACS,there is a negative correlation between contents of FT3 and the prognosis,but there is no correlation between contents of FT3 and the number of stenotic vessels.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the changes in the expression of purinergic P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) in spinal cord dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion in a rat model of acute morphine tolerance or inflammatory pain.MethodsThirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal saline group (group NS,n =5);acute morphine tolerance group (group M,n =5) and inflammatory pain group (group F,n =20).Inflammatory pain was induced by subcutaneous injection of 4％ formalin 50 μl into the plantar surface of left hindpaw in group F.The animals received intrathecal morphine 10 μg ( 10 μl) once every 2 h for 6 times (T1-6) in group M,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group NS.The rats were then sacrificed 2 h after the last time administration.Paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to a thermal nociceptive stimulus was measured at T1-6 in groups M and NS,or on day 4,7,10 and 14 after establishing the model of inflammatory pain in group F,The rats were sacrificed after measurement of PWL and spinal cord dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion were removed to detect the expression of P2X4 R by immuno-histochemisty.ResultsCompared with the baseline value,PWL was significantly decreased on day 4-14 after intlammatory pain in group F,and PWL was significantly increased at T1-5,while no significant change was found at T6 in group M ( P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group NS,the expression of P2X4 R was up-regulated in group M,and the expression of P2X4 R was up-regulated on day 4 after inflammatory pain,peaked on day 7 after inflammatory pain,and then was down-regulated gradually on day 10 and 14 after inflammatory pain in group F ( P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionThe expression of purinergic P2Y4 R is up-regulated in spinal cord dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion in rats with acute morphine tolerance or inflammatory pain,and the change may be related to the development of acute morphine tolerance or inflammatory pain.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of adrenal rest tumor.Methods Twelve patients of adrenal rest tumor proved by surgery or clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.Among these 12 patients,12 were examined with ultrasound,11 with MR and 1 with CT. MR and CT were performed without and with intravenous injection of contrast material.The imaging features of adrenal rest tumor were retrospectively summarized and the relevant literatures reviewed. Results The adrenal rest tumors were found in testis in 10 of the 12 patients,and in ovaries and broad ligament in the remaining two.The imaging features of the testicular adrenal rest tumor were summarized as following:all patients had bilateral testicular masses without change of the testicular contour. On ultrasonography,the lesions were hypoechoic, with some hyperechoic areas and appeared highly vascularized on Colour Doppler ultrasonography.The masses showed iso-density on plain CT,and avid enhancement on post-contrast CT images.The masses ranging in size from0.7 cm×1.0 cm×2.2 cm to 2.3 cm ×2.7 cm ×2.9 cm with uniform signal intensity,lobulated margin on MRI.They exhibited iso- or slight hyperintensity on T1 WI and hypointensity on T2WI relative to normal testicular parenchyma.The tumors showed intense enhancement on post-contrast MR images. No abnormality was detected with Colour Doppler uhrasonography and MR in 2 patients of adrenal rest tumor in ovaries and broad ligament. Conclusion Combining imaging features with the typical clinical history,the diagnosis of adrenal rest tumor could be suggested pre-operatively.

Objective To explore the effect of diphosphonate on expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and cathepsin K(CK) in subchondral bone of unstable rabbit knee joints.Methods Fifty male New Zealand white rabbits were divided randomly into three groups according to random digits table:the control group (n=10),the model group (n=20).the diphosphonate group (n=20).Hulth model of unstable rabbit knee joint was achieved in the right knee joint.Ten rabbits from the diphosphonate group and 5 rabbits from the control group were sacrificed by aeroembolism at the second and tenth week postoperatively,respectively.Then the medial femoral condyles of the right knee were harvested.Specimens were processed for immunohistochemical analysis of MMP-9 and CK.Results Cells with expression of MMP-9 and CK could be found in the three groups at the second and tenth week after operation.Compared with the control group,there was a significant increase in the number of cells with expression of MMP-9 and CK in model group at the second and tenth week after operation.Diphosphonate could inhibit expression of MMP-9 and CK in cells.Compared with the model group,the number of cells with expression of MMP-9 and CK in diphosphonate group was fewer; there was a statistical significance between them.Conclusion Diphosphonate can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 and CK in subchondral bone of unstable rabbit knee joints,which can resist the bone resorption and protect articular cartilage.
