Objective To evaluate the clinical value of prone flexed posture lumber CT/MRI examination for lumber disc herniation. Methods Supine posture CT/MRI (SPCT/MRI) and prone flexed posture CT/MRI (PFPCT/MRI) examinations were performed on 1200 patients with lumber disc herniation.The imaging findings on SPCT/MRI and PFPCT/MRI of each case were compared. According to the CT/MRI diagnostic criteria for encapsulated lumber disc herniation ( HLDH ), adhered lumber disc herniation (ALDH) and ruptured lumber disc herniation ( RLDH), the 1200 cases were divided into three groups. On the basis of PFPCT/MRI findings, 868 cases were selected for percutaneous lumbar diskectomy (PLD) with half to twelve years follow up. Treatment effects of PLD on HLDH, ALDH and RLDH were analyzed with x2test. Results Among 249 ALDH cases diagnosed by SPCT/MRI 35 were identified as HLDH by PFPCT/MRI. Among 163 RLDH cases diagnosed by SPCT/MRI, 9 HLDH and 17 ALDH were identified by PFPCT/MRI. In 868 cases treated with PLD, the effective rate of HLDH ( n = 832), ALDH ( n = 25 ), RLDH ( n =11 ) were 825/832 (99. 2% ), 13/25, and 1/11 respectively. The effective rate of HLDH is significantly different from that of ALDH and RLDH ( x2 = 369. 69, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion PFPCT/MRI may change the grouping result of lumber disc herniation made by SPCT/MRI and can be used to objectively select patients for PLD.

BACKGROUND: More and more patients with periodontal disease require orthodontic treatments. Thus, the remodeling process and its mechanism of inflammatory periodontal tissues become a hot point during orthodontic tooth movement.OBJECTIVE: To observe the remodeling of inflammatory periodontal tissues during orthodontic tooth movement.METHODS: A total of 50 Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control and periodontitis groups. In the periodontitis group, rats were established periodontitis models. After that, all rats were prepared for orthodontic tooth movement models. The remodeling of periodontal tissues was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after orthodontic tooth movement.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The movement distance of the periodontitis group was greater than that of the control group. At 0-7 days after orthodontic force application, there was obviously bone resorption at the pressure side and the bone formation was inhibited at the tension side; at 14 days after force application, the bone resorption was diminished, associated with large numbers of multinucleated osteoclasts at the pressure sides in both groups. The findings showed that rats with periodontitis suffered more periodontal traumatism during orthodontic tooth movement, thus, treatment should be delayed until the inflammatory signs were controlled and the local inflammatory was eliminated.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of Ezrin and β?catenin in breast cancer. Methods Immunohistochemical staining method was adopted to detect Ezrin and β?catenin protein expression level in 145 cases of breast cancer tissues,and their correlation with clinical data and prognosis of breast cancer was analyzed. Results Ezrin was expressed in 70 cases(48.3%),β?catenin was expressed in 82 cases (56.6%),and there was significantly negative correlation(r=0.267,P=0.001). The higher histologic grade of breast cancer,the higher expres?sion level of Ezrin(P=0.007),and the lower expression level of β?catenin(P<0.001). Ezrin expression level was increased significantly(P=0.027),but β?catenin expression level was reduced significantly(P=0.011)in lymph node positive breast cancer tissue. Ezrin expression was sig?nificantly correlated with shorter overall survival(P=0.004)and disease free survival(P=0.017)of breast cancer patients,but β?catenin expres?sion was significantly correlated with longer overall survival(P<0.001)and disease free survival(P=0.001)of breast cancer patients. However , Ezrin and β?catenin were not the independent risk factors of breast cancer patients as determined by multivariate Cox regression. Conclusion Ez?rin was significantly negative correlated with β?catenin in breast cancer. They play a role in the progression and poor prognosis of breast cancer , which can be used as breast cancer treatment targets.

Objective To understand the etiology of acute hepatitis B (AHB) in adults and investigate the mechanisms of hepatic injury and viral clearance in AHB. Methods One hundred and twenty adult AHB patients were enrolled. Epidemiological and clinical data were collected from the case history records or face-to-face inquiry, and serum samples were collected during hospitalization and follow-up. To observe dynamic patterns of AHB etiology, the markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the level of HBV DNA and HBV genotype were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Enumeration data were analyzed by non-parametric rank sum test. Comparison between groups was done by t test and that between rates of samples was done by Pearson χ2 test. Results Serum HBV DNA was positive in 48.33% of patients at the time of diagnosis with mean level of 9.84×04 copy/mL, and became undetectable after 12.5 days on average. The median levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were 1600 U/L and 1490 U/L in HBV DNA positive and negative groups, respectively (z=-0. 678, P=0. 498). However, the mean levels of serum ALT were (2058±123) U/L and (1393±139) U/L in groups of HBV DNA<1×104 copy/mL and>1×104 copy/mL, respectively, which was significantly different (t=-2.17, P=0. 049). Genotype B accounted for 52.5%, genotype C 42.5 and genotype B and C mixed type 5.0% in 58 patients with HBV DNA positive. Eight patterns of serum HBV markers were presented at first visiting. HBsAg(+), HBeAg(+), anti-HBc(+), anti-HBc IgM(+) and HBsAg(+), anti-HBe(+), anti-HBc(+), anti-HBc IgM(+) were the most common patterns, which accounted for 38.3% and 30.0%, respectively. The dynamic patterns of serum HBV markers of 28 AFIB patients were prospectively followed up. The rate of serum FIBsAg loss was 100. 0% and the median time of negative-conversion was 3 weeks. The cumulative positive rate of anti-HBs was 85.7% after 52 weeks of follow-up. The rate of serum HBeAg loss was 100.0%. HBeAg was negative in 53.6% of patients at first visiting and the rest of patients achieved negative within 4 weeks after onset. The positive rate of anti-HBe was 82.1% during 52 weeks of follow-up. Total anti-HBc (including IgG and IgM) was keeping positive in all patients within 52 weeks, and the negative rate of anti-HBc IgM was 39. 3% after followed up for 52 weeks. Conclusions Rapid HBV clearance andserum HBV marker conversion are significantly different between AHB and chronic hepatitis B.

PurposeIt has been reported that women have higher incidence of Modic changes than men and it may be related to the change of female hormone levels during menopause which leads to osteoporosis and other factors. This paper investigated the relationship between vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) of menopausal female suffering from chronic low pain and lumbar vertebral Modic changes on MRI, to explore the effect of vertebral bone mineral density upon Modic changes.Materials and Methods A total of 205 menopausal women with chronic low back pain were enrolled and underwent vertebral bone mineral density measurement and lumbar MRI examination. The bone mass of vertebral body and bone imaging data were observed. All patients were divided into three groups according to their level of bone mass: group of normal bone mass: 128 cases; osteopenia group: 58 cases; osteoporosis group: 19 cases. The incidence rate of Modic changes was compared among the three groups and the relationship between bone mineral density and vertebral Modic changes was further analyzed.Results Among 205 patients, 128 were with normal bone mass, 44 had Modic changes (type I: 19 cases; type II: 22 cases; type III: 3 cases) and the incidence rate was 34.4%; osteopenia occurred in 58 patients, among whom 34 had Modic changes (type I: 15 cases; type II: 17 cases; type III: 2 cases), which showed that the rate was 58.6%; 19 patients presented osteoporosis, 15 of whom appeared Modic changes (type I: 6 cases, type II: 7 cases;type III: 2 cases), with the rate of 78.9%. There was statistically signiifcant difference in incidence rate of Modic changes among the three groups (χ2=18.995,P<0.05). Pearson column connection numberC=0.29<0.40. The osteopenia group and osteoporosis group both had higher incidence rates than the group of normal bone mass (χ2=9.636 and 13.680,P<0.01), and the incidence rate showed no difference between the osteopenia group and osteoporosis group (χ2=2.555,P>0.05).Conclusion Lumbar vertebral bone mineral density is correlated to the incidence of vertebral Modic changes in menopausal women with chronic low back pain. With the loss of vertebral bone mass, the incidence of vertebral Modic changes gradually rise. However, the correlation is rather weak; Modic change is a dynamic process, which is also influenced by other factors except vertebral bone mineral density.

Ohjective To observe the inhibition effect of total glucosides of Picrorhiza on hepatitis B virus covalently closed circular DNA (HBV cccDNA) in HepG 2.2.15 cell line. Methods HepG 2.2.15 cells were incubated with culture medium containing 50 mg/L of picrosides or 5 mg/L of adefovir dipivoxil for 2 or 5 days. HBV DNA in the supernatant, intracellular cccDNA, relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) and pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) were quantified by specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and inhibition rates were calculated. The means were compared by t test. Results After treated with picrosides for 2 and 5 days, the inhibition rates of HBV DNA in thesupernatant were 49. 74% (t=4.723, P<0.05) and 79.48% (t = 7.512, P<0.05), respectively. The inhibition rates of intracellular cccDNA were 43.55% (t = 5.216, P<0.05) and 56.43% (t=7.262, P<0.05), respectively, while those of intracellular rcDNA were 43.39% (t=4.137, P<0.05) and 63.86% (t=7.861, P<0.05), respectively, and those of intracellular pgRNA were 54.72% (t=4.532, P<0.05) and 56.08% (t=4.833, P<0.05), respectively. Comparatively, after treatment with adefovir dipivoxil for 2 and 5 days, the inhibition rates of HBV DNA in the supernatant were 25.56% (t=2.874, P<0.05) and 92.44% (t =10.276, P<0.05), respectively. Those of cccDNA were 18.54% (t=2.736, P<0.05) and 47.19% (t=6.852, P<0.05), respectively. Those of rcDNA were 21. 20% (t=3.206, P<0.05) and 71.47% (t=8.332, P<0.05), respectively, pgRNA were 11.14% (t=1.761, P>0.05) and 37.61%(t=3.632, P<0.05) respectively in HepG2.2.15 cells. Conclusions Pierosides may inhibit the replication cycle of HBV, including the formation of cccDNA in HepG 2.2.15 cells. The mechanism of pierosides on cccDNA may differ from adefovir dipivoxil's due to its earlier inhibition time phase.
