Objective To study the anatomic characteristics of the infraorbital ethmoid cells on muhislice CT(MSCT)and explore the relationship between the infraobital ethmoid cells and mueosal swelling of sinuses.Methods Two hundred sixty patients(520 sides) of consecutive axial scans by GE HisDeed VCT and the multiplunar reformation(MPR),virtual endoscopy(VE)reconstruction images by GE AW 4.2 workstation were reviewed retrospectively.The following CT features were assessed:(1)the anatomic characteristics of the infraobital ethmoid ceils,including the frequency of identification,origin,classification.(2)presence of mucosal swelling of sinuses,(3)the maximal transversal diameter of the inflraobital ethmoid cells in ostium of maxillary sinus(perpendicular to the uncinate process),and the diameter of the ostium of maxillary sinus,(4)presence of infraobital ethmoid ceils inflammatory findings and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinus.The results were analyzed by using Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis with the statistical software SPSS 11.5.Results (1) UniLateral infraobital ethmoid cells were f10und in 68 patients(26.1%),and bilateral infraobital ethmoid cells were found in 81 patients(31.2%).Infraobital ethmoid ceHs were found in 230 sides on left Bide (120 sides)and right side(110 sides).(2)Infraobital ethmoid cells originated from the anterior ethmoid cells in 124 sides(53.9%)and from posterior ethmoidal cells in 62 sides(27%),originated from both the anterior ethmoidal cells and the posterior ethmoidal cells in 44 sides(19.1%).(3)The classification of the infraobital ethmoid cells included three types.Infraobital ethmoid cells with different origination differed significantly in theirtypes(x2=193.433,P<0.01).Most ofthe infraobital ethmoid cells originated from tlle anterior ethmoidal cells were type Ⅰ(160 sides),while the type Ⅱ(48 sides)and Ⅲ(45 sides) frequently originated from the posterior ethmoidal ceHs(4)The mueosal swelling of sinuses,were found in 165 sides in presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells and 192 sides in absence of infraobtial ethmoid cells.The presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells had no effect on mucosal swelling(X2=1.824,P>0.05).The maximal transversal diameter of the infraobital ethmoid cells in ostium of maxillary sinus did not differ significantly between the cases with or without mucosal swelling of sinuses(t=0.273,P>0.05).and the diameter of the ostium of maxillary sinus were not significantly related with mucosal swelling of sinuse8 (Wald=2.534,P>0.05).Presence of infraobital ethmoid cells inflammatory findings (Wald=10.817. P<0.01,OR=4.125)and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinus (Wald= 6.640,P<0.01,OR=3.728)were significantly related to mucosal swelling of 8inuses. Conclusions (1)MSCT scan could clearly demonstrate the detailed information of infraobital ethmoid ceIIs.(2)The presence of infraobtial ethmoid cells Was not a risk factor for chronics sinusitis. When we assess inflraobtial ethmoid cells as a possible etiologic factor in chronics sinusitis we should observe presence of infraobital ethmoid cells inflammatory findings and a contact between the mucosal surface of the ostium of maxillary sinud.

Objective To investigate the correlation between relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and tumor character of meningiomas. Methods Thirty-six (GradeⅠ: n=30, GradeⅡ+Ⅲ: n=6) patients with meningioma underwent conventional MR and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) . The pulse sequence of PWI was single shot GRE-EPI-T2~*WI. The CBV maps were calculated from the original data of perfusion images and the maximum rCBV of meningiomas was acquired from CBV maps through measurement on the region of interest (ROI). The differences of rCBV in tumor and edema between benign and malignant tumors were analyzed. Results The mean rCBV in tumor of benign meningioma (9.78±4.69) was higher than that of malignant ones (3.59±0.28) (t=7.168, P<0.001). The mean rCBV in edema of benign and malignant meningiomas was 3.06±1.76 and 3.58±1.93, respectively (P>0.05). Conclusion CBV map and quantitative study of rCBV are feasible for differential diagnosis of meningiomas and have instructive function for clinical treatment and assessment of prognosis.

Results On DTI,the abscesses displayed as hyperintense signal with hypointense or isointense signal of edema;but glioblastomas and metastases all showed as hypointense signal with isointense or hypointense signal of edema.On ADC map,the abscesses showed as hypointense signal,the mean ADC value was (0.66?0.07)x10~(-3)mm~2/s,The mean ADC value were(2.50?0.11)x10~(-3)mm~2/s and(2.37?0.52)x10~(-3)mm~2/s for the glioblastomas and metastases,respectively,all demonstrated as hyperintense signal with slightly hyperintense signal of edema.The difference between abscess and necrotic tumors was statistically significant(F=108.80,P

Objective To evaluate the mental status of malignant hematologic patients, explore the morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients, and investigate valid interventional treatment on them. Methods 134 malignant hematologic patients were evaluated by SDS and HAMD, and 49 patientswere selected who was diagnosed depressive disorder then randomly divided into 2 groups. One was experimental group and the other control group. The patients of experimental group were treated with antidepressant drug and mental intervention during common therapy, while the patients of control group only took common therapy. The change of immunological function after treatment was detected. Results The morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients was 37 %. The scores of SDS and HAMD were significandy decreased and the depressive symptoms were notablely improved in experimental group and there were significant differences after treatment and before treatment (P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group (P >0.1). The NPY plasma levels significantly increased after treatment in experimental group(P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group(P >0.05); the CD+4/CD+4 values of patients in the experimental group were significantly increased after treatments. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the experimental group patients between pre-treat and after-treat (P <0,05),but no obvious difference in the patients of control group (P>0.5). Conclusion Mental intervention and antidepressive treatment can improve all of the depression, immunological function and quality of life of malignant hematologic patients.

BACKGROUND: Fish oil is one of mainly natural resources of n-3 fatty acids, which can inhibit cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and prolong the survival of cardiac allograft. But, the mechanism is unclear. Recent in vitro data suggested that n-3 fatty acids could inhibit the release of inflammatory transmitter by the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y (PPARy). OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that n-3 fatty acids from fish oil ameliorates CAV development via activating PPARy. METHODS: A total of 6 Lewis rats and 18 Fisher344 rats were randomly selected as heart donors. An additional 24 Lewis rats were randomly and equally divided into 4 groups. In isograft group, heart transplantation was performed among Lewis rats, without any drug. In low-dose fish oil-treated group, F344→Lewis transplantation was performed. At 1 day following surgery, 0.03 mL/kg fish oil was treated by gavage for 8 weeks. In high-dose fish oil-treated group, F344→Lewis transplantation was conducted. At 1 day following surgery, 0.06 mL/kg fish oil was treated by gavage for 8 weeks. In control group, F344→Lawis transplantation was conducted. Cyclosporine A was administrated by gavage for 8 weeks. In the low-dose and high-dose fish oil-treated groups, cyclosporine A (1.5 mg/kg) was given daily by intramuscular injection for 2 weeks following surgery. CAV was evaluated by histological examination. Activity of nuclear factor (NF) k-B and PPARy was assessed in homogenate. Contents of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interferon-inducible protein 10 were measured by enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Chemokine receptor CCR2 and CXCR3 expression was determined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All 24 receptor Lewis rats were survived following surgery. The donor heart could regularly beat at 8 weeks following transplantation. Compared with the isograft group, severe CAV was detected in the control group al 8 weeks. Compared with the control group, CAV was significantly relieved, the activity of PPARy was significantly elevated, the activity of NF k-B was significantly decreased, levels of intragraft monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interferon-inducible protein-10 were significantly reduced in the low-dose and high-dose fish oil-treated groups (P < 0.001, P < 0.05), especially in the high-dose fish oil-treated group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in expression of chemokine receptors CXCR3 in the low-dose and high-dose fish oil-treated groups and control group. Our results demonstrated that n-3 fatty acids from fish oil can attenuate CAV development, possibly through activating PPARy and subsequently inhibiting the NF-kB activation, the chemokines secretion and its receptor expression in a dose-dependent fashion in rat models.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of reduced dose idarubicin and cytarabine,semustine(IAS) regimen as induction therapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.MethodsA total of fifty-eight newly acute myeloid leukemia(AML) patients were randomly divided into 2 groups,including 30 cases with IAS regimen,28 cases with DA regimen The IAS regimen was treated with reduced dose idarubicin (8 ～ 10 mg/m2,days 1 to 3) and cytarabine( 100 ～ 150 mg/m2,days 1 to 7),semustine(200mg,d0).The DA regimen was treated with daunorubicin(40 ～60 mg/m2,days 1 to 3) and cytarabine ( 100 ～ 150 mg/m2,days 1 to 7).The responses ( CR and overall response rate ) were compared between the 2 groups.Results Complete remission(CR) rate in IAS and DA groups were 24 of 30( 80.0％ ) and 16 of 28 (57.1％ ) respectively,while the overall response rate were 26 of 30 ( 86.7％ ) and 18 of 28 ( 64.3％ ) respectively.There was significant difference in CR rate and overall response rate between IAS group and DA group( P ＜ 0.05 ).Myelosuppression and infections due to neutropenia were the most frequent adverse effects,severe nonhematologic toxicity was not observed.The incidence rates of toxicities in the 2 groups were not significantly different ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion The effect of reduced dose idarubicin and cytarabine,semustine regimen in the treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is superior to that of DA regimen,and the toxicities are tolerable.IAS regimen can be as the optional induction therapy in newly patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
