In the design of oral cone beam CT, cooperation between synergic control of X-ray source, real-time acquisition of flat detector and motion of mechanical structure affects the CT image quality. Based on the full analysis of the flat detector's timing signal characteristics, this research was carried out with microprocessor controller (MCU), complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and light couplings to design and realize synchronous exposure control system. To evaluate whether the design of the synchronous exposure control system in this project could reach the required imaging accuracy, we employed the projected images in the system to analyze its stability, linear consistency, signal to noise ratio and precede the FDK construction.

A novel method for the detection of moroxydine ( ABOB) residue in tomatoes was developed based on the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of CdTe quantum dots( QDs) in the presence of ABOB. The factors influencing the performance of the QDs fluorescent probes were investigated, and the optimum conditions were determined:the concentration of mercaptoacidic acid ( TGA) capped-CdTe quantum dot was 1×10-4 mol/L, and the reaction time was 20 min at pH=5. 6. Under the optimum conditions, the relative fluorescence intensity increases linearly proportional to the ABOB concentration in the range of 1. 0×10-12-5. 0×10-10 mol/L with a limit of detection of 5. 2×10-13 mol/L, R=0. 9981, the recovery was 97%-106%, without obvious interference on the determinations of moroxydine from the common coexisting ions, antibiotics, and vitamins. The proposed method has been successfully applied in the detection of trace moroxydine hydrochloride residue in tomatoes.

Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the apoptosis mechanisms of glioblasto-ma cell line U87 induced by sodium cantharidinate ( SCA) in vitro.Methods Growth inhibition of U87 by 0.625μg/mL,1.25μg/mL,2.5μg/mL,5μg/mL SCA at 24 h,48 h,72 h were analyzed by MTT assay respec-tively.Morphological changes of U 87 nuclear were detected by fluorescence microscope .U87 cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were detected after SCA treatment for 24 h and 48 h by flow cytometry.The changes of apoptosis-related genes Bcl -2,Bax,Caspase-3 expression were analyzed after 24 h of SCA treatment by RT -PCR as-say.Results MTT assay showed that growth inhibition of U 87 cell induced by SCA was accompanied with the in-creased drug concentration ,Hoechst33258 staining showed the morphology of apoptotic U 87 cells nucleui ,chromo-some condensation ,nuclear condensation ,some nuclear fragmentation and formation of apoptotic bodies .Flow cy-tometry showed that SCA could induce cell cycle arrest at the G 2/M phase,and could induce apoptosis of U87.RT-PCR results showed that after 24 h of SCA treatment caspase -3,bax expression of U87 was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05),bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased (P<0.05),and P53 expression was not significantly increased(P>0.05).Conclusion Our results demonstrate that SCA can inhibit U87 pro-liferation and induce apoptosis of U 87 .

Objective To investigate transcriptional expression and promoter CpG methylation status of A-kinase anchoring protein 12 (AKAP12) gene and analyze their correlation with clinical pathological stage in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Methods AKAP12 mRNA expression level and promoter CpG metbylation status was measured by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR (FQ-RT-PCR) and methylation specific PCR (MSP) in 30 bladder transitional cell carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. The products of PCR were cloned and bisulfite sequenced. Results Decreased AKAP12 mRNA expression was demonstrated in 22 carcinomas (73. 3% ) and was significantly associated with turnout grade (P =0. 02).The frequency of promoter methylation of AKAP12 gene was 53. 3 % (16/30) and correlated with the tumor stage(r =0.52,Pn =0.03)and grade(r =0.61,Pn =0.01). Conclusion Aberrant promoter methylation of AKAP12 can result in the loss of gene expression and may association with bladder transitional cell carcinoma.

Cellular therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a research hotspot in the field of neu-roscience in recent years. Compared with other cells,bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) are one of the most attractive therapeutic cells because BMMNCs can be rapidly isolated from bone marrow,are enriched with stem cells and permit autologous applications. Numerous basic researches showed that BMMNCs trans-plantation can decrease infarct volume and promote neurological outcomes in animal stroke model,indicating BMMNCs transplantation may has therapeutic values in acute ischemic stroke,and the transformation from basic research to clinical applications is on the key phase. In this paper,the progress of BMMNCs transplan-tation is reviewed in acute ischemic stroke on the aspects of BMMNCs component,methods of purification, route of transplantation,therapeutic mechanisms and problems from basic research to clinical application.

The damage caused by space microgravity environment to the body systems of astronauts directly affects their work efficiency.This paper reviewed previous studies on the effects of space microgravity environment and ground simulated microgravity environment on cognition and emotion, potential mechanisms and interventions. It was found that a microgravity environment led to dysfunction in learning, memory, spatial orientation and other aspects, and caused anxiety and depression. The mechanisms of cognitive and emotional impairment associated with microgravity environment are complex, including neuronal damage, brain structure changes, neurotransmitter disorders, synaptic dysfunction, oxidative stress injury, and energy metabolism disorders. Pharmacological approaches such as natural extracts, physical interventions such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and new therapies such as probiotics were expected to reduce cognitive impairment and mood disorders caused by microgravity exposure. With the development of aerospace medicine in China, the potential mechanism and interventions of microgravity environment on cognitive and emotional impairment remain to be further studied.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of flow diversion combined with coil embolization in treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods:The clinical data of 110 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by flow diversion in our hospital from April 2015 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In these patients, 48 were treated by flow diversion combined with coil embolization and 62 were treated by flow diversion alone; the efficacy and safety of patients from the two groups were compared.Results:Blood flow diversion was successfully implanted into all 110 patients, with technical success rate of 100%. Immediate complete occlusion rate in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group (16.7%) was significantly higher than that in the flow diversion group (1.6%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications between flow diversion combined with coil embolization group and flow diversion group (4.17% vs. 4.84%, P>0.05). During the mean follow-up of 6.72±3.80 months, modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores of patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group were all 0; one patient had mRS score of 1, one patients had mRS scores of 2, and 60 patients had mRS score of 0 in patients from the flow diversion group; no significant difference was noted between the two groups ( P>0.05). Patients in the flow diversion combined with coil embolization group had significantly higher rate of complete aneurysm occlusion than those in the flow diversion group (88.3% vs. 66.1%, P<0.05). Conclusions:Flow diversion is an effective and safe strategy in treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Flow diversion combined with coil embolization can effectively promote early healing of aneurysms in selective patients.

Objective:To evaluate the necessity, safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for cerebral infarction caused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery.Methods:The clinical and surgical data of patients with MCA atherosclerotic disease who underwent endovascular treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 6 patients with cerebral infarction caused by MCA stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery were selected. The preoperative and postoperative clinical imaging characteristics, perioperative complications and follow-up of these 6 patients were summarized and evaluated.Results:After the endovascular treatment, the imaging of the lenticulostriate artery in all the 6 patients was clearer than that before the operation, and the number of main trunks of the lenticulostriate artery shown by imaging in 2 patients was more than that before operation. The computer tomography perfusion of 6 patients after the endovascular treatment showed that perfusion in the supply area of the lenticulostriate artery was significantly improved compared with pre-operation. No stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and death occurred during the perioperative period. The time of clinical follow-up was 360 (322, 495) days, and there were no stroke, TIA or death occurring in the corresponding artery. All the 6 patients underwent imaging follow-up, of which 3 patients underwent digital subtraction angiography and 3 underwent CT angiography. The lumen of the target vessels showed patency in all patients.Conclusions:With rigorous imaging evaluation, endovascular treatment may be safe and effective for cerebral infarction caused by MCA stenosis with hypoperfusion in the blood supply area of the lenticulostriate artery.
