Objective:To investigate the eye movement anormalities of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and their possible clinical significances. Methods: Exploratory eye movement in 57 patients with OCD according to DSM-IV criteria (27 medicated, 30 un-medicated) and 50 normal controls matched with sex, age and education were examined respectively. Results: Compared with normal controls, patients with OCD demonstrated low scores in most of the indices of exploratory eye movement. The rates of positive discrimiant score in OCD and normal controls were 37%(21/57) and 8% (4/50), respectively (X2 = 12.27, P

The respective sense and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides and their phosphorothiods, targeting at the bcr/abl, were the hallmark gene of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia( CML) and c-myb correlates with CML. K562 cells, derived initially from a patient of CML blast crisis, were incubated with bcr/abl antisense oligodeoxynucleotides asODN or c-myb asODN or with both asODN in combinalion. All kinds of asODN could not only significantly inhibit K562 cells survival with the highest inhibitory rate of 64.7%?3.2%, but also dramatically inhibit DNA synthesis and the highest inhibitory rate was 85. 8 %?4.1%, decrease bcr/abl mRNA level almost completely and induce apoptosis significantly. The inhibition effect of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides phosphorothiodes s-asODN was stronger than that of unmodified asODN. The inhibition of the combination of bcr/abl and c-myb asODN was stronger than that of anyone alnoe. All the inhibitions exhibited in sequence-and time-dependent manner. We concluded that bcr/abl in pathogenesis of CML not only increased CML cells proliferation rate, but also decreased CML cells apoptosis rate. c-myb may participate in CML mainly by regulating bcr/abl. Trie results indicated that the modified asODN and multiple asODN targeting several oncogenes may advance to antisense gene therapy.

BACKGROUND:The application of virtual reality technology in preoperative simulation can reduce the risk in operation effectively and improve the quality of surgery. Virtual reality technology has very important practical significance in the application of surgery. OBJECTIVE:The reverse engineering and virtual reality technology were used to achieve the preoperative simulation of a case of Pilon fracture. METHODS:The affected bones were reconstructed according to the CT data using the patient’s ankle portion in MIMICS software, and the separated bone fractures were restored. According to the characteristics of virtual reality technology, further processing on bone model was carried out using Geomagic software;the models of the fractured bones were exported with STL format. The restored bone fragments were checked up to determine integrity in the virtual reality operation platform. These models were used to do simulated operations in the virtual reality operation platform. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A case of Pilon fracture was simulated by using reverse engineering and virtual reality technology preoperatively. The processed 3D model was introduced into the virtual reality system to simulate the operation and help doctors choose the type, position and direction of the surgical approach and plate;the effect is good.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) by detecting the expressions of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, Smad proteins andα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in kidney biopsy of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods Twenty-eight patients with DN who underwent renal biopsy were col-lected as DN group. Ten subjects without DN who underwent nephrectomy were taken as control group. The expressions of TGF-β1, TGF-βRⅠ,TGF-βRⅡ,Smad2/3 andα-SMA in renal tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry stain. Results (1)TGF-β1,TGF-β RⅠ,TGF-β RⅡ,and Smad2/3 were expressed in the glomeruli and tubules of both DN group and control group, while the expressions of TGF-βand Smad proteins were significantly higher in DN group than those in control group. At the early stage of DN, TGF-βand Smad proteins were significantly expressed even though there was no remarkable lesions observed by light microscopy. There was no correlation between increased expression and the progres-sion of DN. These proteins were not expressed after glomerulus and renal tubule fibrosis. (2) In control group,α-SMA was identified only in the vascular walls, glomerulus and renal tubules, while it was expressed in almost all parts of kidney in DN group. Conclusion TGF-β and Smad signals involved in the pathogenesis of DN, which may have similar pathogenesis with immune complex glomerulonephritis.

Objective To investigate the association between the number of periphery artery atherosclerotic stenosis and cardio-cerebrovascular events in elderly people.Methods Totally 163 subjects aged 60 years and over (median age 83 years) in special outpatient service of PUMC Hospital were retrospectively reviewed and underwent Doppler ultrasound of carotid,lower extremity,and renal artery.General conditions,cardio-cerebrovascular events,risk factors and results of periphery artery ultrasound were assessed.Results Age (F =13.413,P ＜ 0.001 ),hypertension,hyperlipidemia and the statin users(x2 =24.961、13.592、16.207,all P＜0.001) significantly enhanced along with increasing number of peripheral artery stenosis (P＜0.001).The more the peripheral arteries stenosis,the more cardio-cerebrovascular events occurred (x2 =15.258,P ＜ 0.001).Symptomatic peripheral artery obstructive disease increased the prevalence of cardio-cerebrovascular events.Conclusions Multiple periphery artery atherosclerotic stenosis is associated with cardiocerebrouascular events and Doppler ultrasound is effective to detect high-risk patients.

Objective To analyze the symptoms and signs in forty-five Lambert-Eaton myasthenia syndrome (LEMS) patients retrospectively. Characteristics of electrophysiological examinations were investgated. Methods Forty-five LEMS patients were reviewed and information gathered regarding clinical complains neurological symptoms, and other concomitant diseases. The records showed that repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) were performed in all patients. Needle electromyography (EMG) and skin sympathetic response (SSR) were performed in some patients. Results (1) The mean age of neurological clinical onset age was (51.2 ±6. 8) years old. The two most common symptoms were slight weakness of lower extremities ( n = 35 ) and upper extremities (n= 5). Dysarthria was found in 3 patients and neck weakness in 2 patients. Tendon reflex decreased and disappeared in 38 patients. Autonomic nervous system manifestations were presented in 30 patients. (2) RNS increasing was observed in all patients from 156% to 636%. Low frequency RNS abnormalities were found in 29 patients.Sensory nerve conduction velocity abnormalities or sensory nerve conduction velocity combined motor nerve conduction velocity abnormalities were found in 19 patients ( 42% ). Of the 30 patients who underwent a needle EMG examination, 20 had myogenic or neurological damage. Thirteen abnormal findings were observed in 25 patients who underwent SSR examination. Conclusion The most common manifestations were weakness in lower extremities and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Many abnormal electrophysiological results were found in LEMS patients, including NCV and EMG abnormalities. These findings indicated that clinical manifestations exceed the neuromuscular junction and perhaps included the peripheral nerve and muscle.
