Objective To explore the correlations between emotions and self-concept in patients with traumatic brain injury. Method The Chinese version of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale was used to test 178 patients with traumatic brain injury.Results The mean scores on positive and negative emotions were (1.93±0.53) and (2.76±0.61), respectively. The mean score on self-concept was (2.45±0.31). The positive emotions of patients were positively correlated with the level of self-concept and the negative emotions negatively with the level of self-concept (r=0.437and -0.363respectively,bothP<0.01). Conclusions For patients with traumatic brain injury,the negative emotions outnumber the positive emotions and their self-concept was at lower level. Nurses should take measures to improve their positive emotions and reduce their negative emotions in order to improve their self-concept level.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of infratentorial primary angiitis in central nervous system (PACNS).Methods A total of 5 cases diagnosed as infratentorial PACNS in the neurology department of Navy General Hospital of PLA in 2015 were enrolled in the study.The clinical,imaging and pathological data were collected and analyzed.Results All the 5 cases were male with the median onset age of thirty-four.Five cases presented with dizziness,two with headache,three with walking unstable,two with facial numbness and one with dysarthria.Rising pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (190-245 cmH2O,1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) was found in 4 cases by the lumbar puncture,mildly increased number of leukocyte in 2 cases [(12-28) × 106/L],increased CSF protein in 3 cases(540-979 mg/L) and increased IgG index in 3 cases (0.84-1.45).Pons lesions were revealed by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in 4 cases,brachium pontis lesions in 2 cases,cerebellum lesions in 2 cases,one with midbrain lesion in 1 case,unilateral lesions in 4 cases and bilateral lesion in 1 case.Different degree of edema and mass effect were shown in all lesions by MRI.Patch like enhancement was found by contrast MRI in 5 cases and meningeal enhancement in 2 cases.Elevation of choline (Cho) peak was found by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 4 cases,reduction of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) peak in 3 cases,appearance of lactate peak in 1 case and lipid peak in another case.Arterial spin labeling (ASL) was performed in 4 cases and no hyperperfusion was found.Susceptibility weighted imaging(SWI) was performed in 3 cases and microhemorrhage in the lesions was found in 2 cases and normal in 1 case.Magnetic resonance arteriography(MRA) was performed in 1 case and no stenosis was found.Digital subtraction arteriography(DSA) was performed in 1 case and multiple stenosis of the intracranial arteries was showed.Two cases had taken the stereotactic brain biopsy and the histopathologic diagnosis was angiitis.Five cases were treated with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide was added on in 1 case.Good prognosis was found in all cases.Conclusions Infratentorial PACNS mostly attacks middle-aged males.The lesions tend to locate in unilateral pons,brachium pontis,cerebellum and midbrain.Hemorrhage or microhemorrhage in lesions is often found by SWI and no hyperperfusion is shown by ASL,which would be useful to distinguish PACNS from malignant tumors.Given the limitations of brain biopsy in clinical practice,clinical and imaging features would be helpful to diagnose PACNS.

Objective: To express the protein of HPV18E6 based on pET-32a(+) at high level and study the expression and significance of HPV18E6 proteins in laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: The HPV18E6 gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into pET-32a(+). The amplified fragment was inserted into the plasmid pET32a (+) that was digested with BamHⅠand Hind Ⅲ. The recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 was transformed into E.coli JM109 which was selected with ampicillin. The recombinant plasmids were successfully introduced into E.coli BL21(DE 3) and were induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis were used to detect the confusion protein. Finally, the optimization of expression conditions, such as temperature, concentration of IPTG, was studied. Results: The recombinant plasmids were identified and confirmed with enzyme digestion and sequencing. The BL21(DE3) transformed recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 had expressed HPV18E6 recombinant protein effectively. The optimum conditions of expression were 37 ℃, 1 mmol/L IPTG. Conclusion:Prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-HPV18E6 was successfully constructed. The high-level expression of HPV18E6 was achieved in E.coli BL21(DE3).

Objective To study whether osteoblast is necessary for IGF-Ⅰ to promote bone resorption by osteoclast.Methods Mouse MC3T3 osteoblast cells and mature osteoclasts induced by RANKL were cultured in vitro.These osteoblasts and osteoclasts were subjected to treatment with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-Ⅰ),and the activation of IGF-Ⅰ receptor was verified by Western blotting.Thereafter,osteoclasts were cultured individually or co-cultured with osteoblast,in the absence or presence of rhIGF-Ⅰ.Osteoclast proliferation and apoptosis were observed by MTT colorimetric assay and flow cytometry.Cathepsin K gene expression was detected by real-time PCR; bone adsorption activity of osteoclast was determined by resorption pits formation on calf cortex slice with toluidine blue staining.Results Western blotting result confirmed that rhIGF-Ⅰ could effectively activate IGF-Ⅰ receptors either in osteoblast or osteoclast.In co-cultured group,in the presence of rhIGF-Ⅰ osteoclast showed inhibited apoptosis,enhanced proliferation and up-regulated cathepsin K expression (P < 0.05).The functional experiment revealed that osteoclasts collected from IGF-Ⅰ treated co-cultured group resulted in more resorption pits formation (P < 0.05); rhIGF-Ⅰ did not show any significant effect on the individually cultured osteoclasts.Conclusion Osteoblast is necessary for osteoclast induced bone resorption resulting from IGF-Ⅰ treatment.

Objective To study the clinical and neuroimaging features of gliomatosis cerebri(GC)so as to enhance the accuracy of diagnosis. Methods The clinical manifestations and cranial MRI characteristics of 10 cases of GC confirmed by neuropathology of brain biopsy were analyzed. Results Main clinical features of the 10 patients were not so severe and varied with headache, dizziness, dementia,aphasia, epilepsy, etc. Cranial MRI scan showed diffuse long T2 signals in frontal lobes, temporal lobes,parietal lobes, occipital lobes bilaterally, as well as corpus collosum, thalamus, paraventricular white matter, caudate nucleus and putamen. Brain stem and cerebellum were also involved. The borders of the lesions were unclear and no obvious mass effect was found. Contrast enhancement was positive only in 3 patients after Gd-DTPA injection. The lesions were always bilateral without cystic formation or hemorrhage.DWI signals of 8 cases were in accordance with pathological grades. Cho/Cr and Cho/NAA ratio increased in all 7 cases with MRS imaging. Cho/Cr in tumor area versus normal area was 1.28 ±0. 15 vs 0. 92 ±0. 17(t=4.201,P=0.0012,95% CI:0.17-0.57).The value of Cho/NAA was 3.21 ± 1.19 vs 0.61 ±0.18(t = 5.716,P=0.0001,95 % CI:1.61-3.59).Biopsy pathological examination showed diffuse infiltrative growth of astroglioma cells of 8 cases with low-grade while 2 cases with high-grade. Conclusions Mismatch between relatively slight clinical manifestations and heavy diffuse imaging features are important in the diagnosis of GC, with the aid of brain biopsy. MRS would contribute to diagnosis and DWI signal may be correlated with GC grade and help judging prognosis.

Objective To study the effects of TRβ△ on apoptosis and proliferation of liver cancer cell line RH-35 from rat in vitro. Methods RH-35 cells were transfected by empty vector pcDNA3. 1 and expression plasmid pcDNA3. 1-TRβ△, then exposure to 10 nmol/ L T3 . RH-35 cells apoptosis and proliferation were observed by flow cytometry and MTT colorimetric assay; Levels of catenin β-1(CTNNB1), senescence marker protein-30(SMP-30) and BCL2-antagonist/ killer ( BAK ) mRNA evaluation were detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). Results In the presence of T3 , overexpression of TRβ△ significantly inhibited the proliferation, increased the percentage of apoptotic, down-regulated CTNNB1and SMP-30 expression, up-regulated BAK expression in RH-35 cells( P < 0. 05). Conclusion TRβ△ could inhibit the proliferation of RH-35 cells and promote their apoptosis, which may be related to upregulation of BAK genes expression and downregulation of CTNNB1 and SMP-30 gene expression, and these effects could be regulated by T3 .
