?Pathological myopia are often complicated by a series of pathological changes in fundus including foveoschisis, which can lead to visual dysfunction when processing with retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane and vitreoretinal traction diseases. According to the current knowledge, the main mechanism of foveoschisisi might be attributed to the impaired macular structure and function caused by a variety of traction on the retinal and retina poor condition. Surgical treatments have been reported to be effective in treating foveoschisis, however, the indications and surgical procedures are still controversial. ln this article, we reviewed the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment strategies and prognosis of pathological myopia foveoschisis.

This article is to evaluate the correlation between dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials(DSEP) improvement and clinical outcome in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy received nerve root decompression.Twenty two patients diagnosed as radiculomedullary were confirmed by the CT or MRI screen,they were investigated preoperatively and 9 week postoperatively.Compared with the preoperative,the postoperative clinical symptoms of the patients were significantly improved( P

Objective To Analyze the imaging characteristics of intraparenchymal schwannoma and the related pathology,in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and be in favor of the clinics and the prognosis.Methods Four cases were confirmed to be intraparenchymal schwannoma by pathological and immunohistochemistry examination.One case was examined with precontrast and enhanced CT scanning,one with unenhanced MRI scanning,two with unenhanced and enhanced CT and MRI scanning.Their images were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the four cases,three patients were less than 30 years old,with tumors located supratentorially.Cysts were found in all cases,with nodules on the wall in 3 cases.The nodules were enhanced markedly in two cases and moderately in one ease.In addition,calcification was detected in one case and prominent peritumoral edema existed in 1 case.The picture of the pathology demonstrated Antoni type A and Antoni type B.Immunostaining showed intense immunoreactivity for S-100 protein and Vim and negative immunoreactivity for GFAP and EMA.Conclusions Intraparenchymal schwannoma mostly occurred in juvenile,which located supratentorially in most cases.The presence of a cyst and peritumoral edema together with the tumor appears to be characteristic of intraparenchymal schwannoma.Calcification or the enhanced nodule is the helpful sign for the diagnosis.Combining the imaging findings with the pathology and immunohistochemistry results can gain the accurate diagnosis.

Aim To investigate the effects of Aplysin on the inhibition of gastric cancer cell in vitro .Methods MTT assay was used to examine the inhibition of gastric cancer cell 1ine SGC-7901 by Aplysin in different concentrations and at different times.The morphologic changes and the apoptosis of SGC-7901 was observed by inverted microscope and Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE)staining.Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay was used to detect the changes of COX-2 mRNA expressions.Results Aplysin could decrease the proliferation significantly in a dose-dependent manner in SGC-7901 cells.When treating SGC-7901 with Aplysin in concentration of 120, 240 mg·L~(-1) for 24 h, the growth of the cell was obviously inhibited observing by inverted microscope.Aiso, when treating with the same concentration for 18 h, its chromatin became crimpled and breakdown, as well as cell shrinkage and apoptotic bodies formation when using HE staining.The apoptotic rates(%)of SGC-7901 was(15.0±2.12)%, (18.4±2.3)%, respectively, which was significantly higher than(1.4±0.55)% that in control group(P <0.01).60、120、240 mg·L~(-1) Aplysin could not effectively inhibited the mRNA expressions of COX-2(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Aplysin can inhibit the proliferation and induces apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of infectious diseases of CNS.Methods Inpatients treated in the second hospital of Hebei Medical University from 1996 to 2005 were subjected to retrospective study.Results During 10 years,the hospitalization number of infectious diseases of CNS was 3929.The proportion of inpatients with viral meningitis(encephalitis),cerebral cysticercosis,tuberculous meningitis(TBM),purulent meningitis(PM)and cryptococcal meningitis(CM) was 63.8%,17.4%,7.7%,0.7% respectively.The hospitalization number of viral meningitis (encephalitis),TBM,PM and CM in the 2001—2005 5-year period was 53.5%,21.3%,35.3%,and 77.3% higher than that of the 1996—2000 period.Whereas the hospitalization number of cerebral cysticercosis decreased by 32.4% than that of the last 5 years.The peak months of viral meningitis (encephalitis)in a year were July,August and September.The peak months of TBM in a year were April, May and June.The case fatality of viral meningitis(encephalitis),cerebral cysticercosis,TBM,PM and CM was 8.1%,6.9%,22.4%,12.9%,33.3% respectively.Conclusions In the past l0 years,the incidence of common infectious diseases of CNS has increased in Shijiazhuang except cerebral cysticercoids. Our vigilance should be improved and some effective measures should be adopted to keep away infectious diseases of CNS.

Objective To identify PDZ domain containing proteins interacting with PTEN and its characterization with NHERF-1 by proteomic analysis. Methods The interactions between PTEN and PDZ domain containing proteins were screened with PDZ protein array, and the novel one was then identified with GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assay. Results Using a PDZ protein array, we proved PTEN binding with NHERF-1. The interaction of PTEN and NHERF-1 was further characterized by GST pull down assay, and we demonstrated that PTEN associated with NHERF-1 via the binding of PTEN carboxyl-terminal with the PDZ domain 1 (PDZ1) of NHERF-1. The last four amino acids (I-T-K-V) of the PTEN were the key determinants of this interaction as mutation of any of the four amino acids to alanine resulted in markedly reducing association of PTEN with NHERF-1. In addition, the full-length of PTEN robustly associated with NHERF-1 was also determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiment in cos-7 cells. Conclusion PTEN/NHERF-1 association was mediated via the binding of PTEN carboxyl-terminal]with the PDZ1 of NHERF-1, and the last four amino acids of the PTEN carboxyl-terminal were important for PTEN/NHERF-1 interaction.

The expression levels of IL-12 and IL-12 mRNA in gastric mucosa were determined by ELISA and RT-PCR.Results Inflammation of gastric antral mucosa was more severe in Hp-positive mucosa .The expression levels of IL-12 and IL-12 mRNA in Hp-positive mucosa were (66.42?15.15) ng/g and (59.21?15.03)%,which were more than those in (Hp-negative )(22.22?8.79) ng/g and (17.94?7.39)%(P

Objective To evaluate the value of CT virtual endoscopy(CTVE)for microsurgery of pituitary microadenomas via transsphenoidal approach.Methods In 18 patients with pituitary micmadenomas underwent microsurgery via transsphenoidal approach,the presurgical CT data was transfered to work station,the anatomies of the sphenoid sinus were then reconstructed by CTVE.The CTVE images were used to make the preoperative planning and indentify sphenoid sinus, sellar floor,and the position of the tumor during surgery.The CTVE images and the views from intraoperative microscope were compared. Results CTVE could display the anotomoties of sphenoid sinus in a three-dimentional mode.The display rates of superfical antomies such as sphenoid septa,sellar floor,carotid prominence,optic prominence and opticocarotid recess were 344.4%,100%,41.7%,36.1%and 58.3%respectively and the visual fields of these anatomic landmarks were larger than the views from the intraoperative microscope. CTVE could depcit the anatomies of the enhanced carotid ateries and pituitary tissue and some optic canals underlying the sellae by transparent function or heighten the threshold.The sites of the tumor could be marked correctly on CTVE images.CTVE could simulate the operative approach and some operating procedures properatively. Conclusion CTVE can display the anatomies of sphenoid sinus in a three-dimensional mode. In transsphenoidal treatment of pituitary microadenoma,CTVE can help to make preoperative planning,locate the intraoperative structures and make a precise bone window during surgery.
