Objective To evaluate specific clinical and imaging features of osteogenesis imperfecta V and to improve diagnostic accuracy of this disease. Methods Data of 15 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta type V were retrospectively analyzed for their clinical and imaging features. There were 10 males and 5 females, aged from 1 year and 30 years old (median age,12.5 years ). All 15 patients had plain X-ray, and 4 of 15 had CT. All data were analyzed by 3 experienced deputy chief doctors in OI according to OI V standard. Results X-ray:calcification of the interosseous membrane between radius-ulna was detected in all patients and calcification of the interosseous membrane between tibia-fibula was detected in 2 of 15 patients. Dislocation of the radial head was seen in 13 of 15 patients,bilateral in 9 and utilateral in 4.All patients showed restriction in the pronation and supination of the forearm and restricton in the flexion and extention of the elbow joint. Patients with dislocation of raidal head were associated with large coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna. Hyperplastic callus of the extremities were detected in 7 of 15 patients (7 at femur , 3 at humerus, 1 at tibia.In early stage, hyperplastic callus showed thin cortice, and clear boundares with the diaphysis showing and low density, irregular, mesh-like lamellation inside. In the later stage, there were dense calcification inside hyperplastic callus, and no difference in density with the diaphysis. Diaphysis surrounded by hyperplastic callus had clear boundaries with the hyperplastic callus. No cortical destruction was detected. CT:there were sparse needle-dot calcification inside hyperplastic callus, with the patterns of granular, ring-and-arch,irregular streaky mineralization. The cross section of proximal femoral shaft showed irregular shape , flat square shape and tiny medullary cavity, with no calcification on the edge of hyperplastic callus. CT value:-91 HU inside hyperplastic callus; 283 HU in femoral shaft. Conclusions Interosseous membrane between radius-ulna or tibia-fibula, hyperplastic callus ,dislocation of the radial head are specific features in osteogenesis imperfecta V. X-ray can make a definitive diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta V. CT scan is helpful in the differential diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta V from osteosarcoma.

Objective:To explore the effect of histone demethylase JMJD3 on B cell activation and apoptosis.Methods:B cells were sorted and purified from the peripheral blood of healthy people and SLE patients by using magnetic bead.After B cells were treated with IFN-αor R848 or IFN-α+R848,the percentages of CD86+B cells,CD69+B cells,CD86+Annexin V+B cells and CD69+Annexin V+B cells were detected by flow cytometry.The expression of JMJD3 was detected by Real Time PCR and Western blot.Results:The purity of sorted B cells was up to 95%.IFN-αenhanced both the activation and apoptosis and the JMJD3 expression of TLR7-activated B cells.The expression of JMJD3 was dependent on MAPK signal pathway,but not the NF-κB signaling pathway.Moreover,JMJD3 was highly expressed in B cells of peripheral blood from SLE patients compared to those from healthy people.Furthermore,JMJD3 inhibitors could inhibit the activation and apoptosis of IFN-αand R848 activated B cells.Conclusion:JMJD3 participated in the activation and apoptosis of IFN-αand TLR7-induced B cells, suggesting JMJD3 inhibitors may possess therapeutic effect for alleviating symptom of SLE.

Objective:To explore the change of B cell numbers in active MRL/lpr lupus mice , and their regulation mechanisms.Methods:B cell cycle and the percent of B cells in spleen lymphocytes of active MRL /lpr lupus mice and normal C 57/B6 mice were analyzed by using flow cytometry .The apoptotic B cells and their subclass were analyzed by Annexin V and PI staining.Further more ,B cells were purified by magnetic sorting , and real-time quantitative PCR was carried out to detect apoptosis-related gene.Results:Compared with the C57/B6 mice,the percent of B cells in active MRL/lpr lupus mice were significantly reduced (P<0.01),while the percent of apoptotic cells were significantly increased (P<0.01).The percent of early apoptotic B cells were sig-nificantly increased ( P <0.01 ) which including the immature and mature B cells , while the late apoptotic B cells were unchanged.Further more,we found that the anti-apoptotic protein BIRC3 was significantly reduced in active lupus B cells (P<0.01), while the pro-apoptotic protein BCL2L1 and BBC3(PUMA) were significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion: B cells in active lupus mice were significantly reduced while early apoptotic B cells were increased , which may be attributed to the changed balance between the anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins , suggesting the reduction of B cells in SLE patients may be related to their increased early apoptosis .

Objective To explore the status of postpartum mental health among pregnant women so as to take relevant measures to keep their mental health.Methods SCL-90 was used to measure the mental status of 146 pregnant women,and DXC-Ⅲ type was used to transforme data.Results Among 146 pregnant women,except for the factor of somatization,other factors were significantly different from norm( P ＜0.01 ).The average score of somatization,depression,hostility and paranoid in less than 30 years old group was ( 1.42 ± 0.37 ),( 1.32 ± 0.45 ),( 1.40 ± 0.60),( 1.24 ± 0.45 ) respectively which was higher than ( 1.26 ± 0.28 ),( 1.19 ±0.25 ),( 1.20 ± 0.34 ),( 1.12 ± 0.20 ) in more than 30 years old group,and the difference was statistically significant( t =2.73,2.03,2.27,2.01;P ＜ 0.01 ). The score of somatization,depression,anxiety,mental disorder in less than 30 days after delivery was significantly higher than that in more than 30 days after delivery (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Pregnant women after delivery have hostility mental and the younger they are,the more negative emotions they experience.So,society and family should pay attention to it and give more support.

OBJECTIVETo determine the effect of butylphthalide on the expressions of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and P53 in the brain tissue of rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

METHODSSixty male adult rats were randomly divided into AD model group, butylphthalide group and control group (n = 20). AD models were established by injecting beta-amyloid protein 1-42 into the hippocampus of rats. Sixty days later, the learning and memory abilities of the rats were evaluated using Y-maze test, and the expressions of PDI and P53 in the brain tissue of the rats were measured by immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the rats in AD model group exhibited significantly reduced learning and memory abilities, lowered expressions of PDI in the hippocampus and increased expression of P53 in the cortex (P > 0.01). In comparison with the model group, the rats in the butylphthalide group showed significantly increased PDI-positive cells in the hippocampus and decreased expression of P53 in the cortex (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONButylphthalide improves the learning and memory abilities of rats with experimental AD, the mechanism of which may involve inhibition of P53 expression and enhancement of PDI expression in the brain tissues.

BACKGROUNDTo study the methods for monitoring nephrotoxicity of cisplatin in lung cancer chemotherapy.

METHODSThe serum urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine (Cr) and urine β2-microglobulin ( β2-MG),α1-microglobulin(α1-MG), albumin (Alb), transferrin (TRF), and retinol-binding-protein (RBP) were measured dynamically in 61 patients with lung cancer who received high-dose chemotherapy with DDP (80- 120 mg/m2) (totally 114 cycles), and some indexes of early nephrotxcity were screened.

RESULTSAt the early stage of chemotherapy (d1-5), the abnormal rates of urine β2-MG and α1-MG were much more predominant than those of other indexes (P < 0.001). The abnormal rates of serum BUN and Cr were increased significantly in the late period of chemotherapy (d10). There were abnormal elevation of urine β2-MG and/or α1-MG at the early stage of chemotherapy for the patients whose serum BUN and creatine were all abnormal at the late stage.

CONCLUSIONSThe urine β2-MG and /or α1-MG might be the valuable indexes for early diagnosis of nephrotoxicity in lung cancer chemotherapy with cisplatin.

OBJECTIVETo determine the expression of S100-beta protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in hippocampal astrocytes of rats with Alzheimer disease (AD) model rats, and observe the effect of butylphthalide on their expression.

METHODSSixty male adult rats were randomized equally into model group, butylphthalide group, and control group, and in the former two groups, AD models were established by injecting beta-amyloid protein 1-40 into the hippocampus. Sixty days later, the rats were sacrificed and the bilateral hippocampuses were taken for immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSThe number of cells positive for S100 and GFAP in the hippocampus in butylphthalide group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P/0.01), but lower than that in the model group (P/0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe expression of S100 protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein increased significantly in the hippocampal astrocytes of rats with AD, and butylphthalide can inhibit the increase of their expression.
