Objective To evaluate the application of the binary Logistic regression model to analyze ultrasonographie indexes of the solid breast tumors. Methods The indexes of two dimensional gray scale ultrasonography,two dimensional color Doppler flow imaging,three dimensional gray scale ultrasonography, three dimensional color Doppler flow imaging and ultrasonic elastography were evaluated in 151 breast lesions confirmed by surgical pathology. A Logistic regression model for predicting breast rnalignaney on the basis of ultrasonographic indexes was obtained. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the performance of the Logistic regression model. Results Six ultrasonic indexes were finally entering the Logistic regression model. They were elasticity score, shape,internal echo, RI, enhancement of posterior acoustic alteration and the converging pattern in the coronal plane. The area under the ROC curve was 0. 996. The percentage correct of prediction was 97.35 %. Conclusions The multivariate analysis model of binary Logistic regression can describe and analyze the process of differential diagnosis of malignant and benign solid breast tumors by ultrasonography and can select out the valuable indexes of differential diagnosis.

Objective To observe the long term effects of arthroscopic knee debridement and reconstructing operation for treating osteoarthritis in patients with Kaschin-Beck disease. Methods Thirty-one cases of patients with Kaschin-Beck disease were followed for 6 years after operation of articular clearing by arthroscope. Index of pain, symptoms of self-evaluation, range of motion, walking distance, standing test by affected leg when bending at 30° or 60° were recorded and compared with the preoperative results. Results Twenty-four cases were followed up for 6 years. Six years after operation the pain index(3.38 ± 2.87) was dramatically decreased compared to that before operation (6.88 ± 1.45, t = 5.30, P < 0.05). Patients symptoms markedly improved by subjective self-evaluation was 70.83% (17/24), the effective rate was 100% (24/24). The number of cases that could stand up when leg bending at 30° or 60° were 21,18 cases, respectively, compared with that of preoperative of 14, 11 cases, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(x2 = 5.17,4.27, all P < 0.05). Six years after operation the walking distance(3 cases < 1 km, 11 cases 1 - 5 km and 10 cases > 5 km) were greatly improved compared to the results before operation (12 cases < 1 km, 9 cases 1 - 5 km and 3 cases > 5 km, U = 2.88, P <0.05). Six years after operation the knee activity[(132.25 ± 14.52)°] remained at the same level, compared with that of preoperative [(131 .58 ± 14.68) °], the difference was not statistically significant (t = 0.16, P > 0.05) .Conclusions The method of arthroscopic joint debridement to cure Kaschin-Beck disease knee osteoarthritis can significantly reduce pain, improve function and walking distance, with more stable long-term satisfactory outcome.

Objective To investigate the effect and possible signal pathway of brain - derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on apoptosis of rat embryo brain cells suffering from intrauterine hypoxic - ischemic injury. Methods The uterine arteries of the pregnant rats were clamped for 30 minutes in both experimental group and control group. BDNF(2 ?g) was injected into rats in experimental group while saline was injected into rats in control group through caudal veins. The samples were collected at 24, 48 and 72 hours re-spectively after artery clamping. Neuroapoptosis of different groups induced by ischemic damage was measured by TUNEL assay. The expression of extracellular signal - regulated kinase(ERK)and c - Jun - N - terminal kinase(JNK) were observed by immunohisloche-mistry.Results The number of apoptosis cells after hypoxic - ischemic injury increased progressively with time.The apoptosis cells number in experimental group were much lower in number than those of ischemic control group.The expression of ERK increased while the expression of JNK decreased in experimental group, comparing with that of the ischemic control group, with statistical signif-icance (P

Nicotiana tabacum is an important and classical model plant which can respond to the change of environmental conditions by accumulating osmoprotectants, such as glycerol and proline which contribute to the re-establishment of homeostasis when exposed to various adverse environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, high and low temperatures. The optimization of ultrasonic extraction (UE) conditions of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) of tobacco leaf have been built by orthogonal test. It showed that optimum of the powers, treatment times, slot times and leaf-to-solvent ratios of UE was 75w, 2h, 2s, and 1[DK]∶12 g/ml, respectively. Under these conditions, the activity of GPDH has been tested as 0.3937U/mg protein, which was higher than other extraction methods such as liquid nitrogen and grinding on ice bath. According to investigation, it is the first description of determination of content of GPDH with ultrasonic in tobacco. It could provide basis for the further research in the relation of content of glycerol and osmotic pressure in tobacco.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effect of reinforcing Shen method (RSM) and activating blood method (ABM) in treating osteoarthritis (OA) at the molecular level.
METHODSThe physical and chemical characteristics of components from respective recipes of RSM and ABM, and network features of component-target interaction network were analyzed by computer simulation methods including chemical space, molecular docking, and biological network, etc.
RESULTSThe chemical components of RSM and ABM were scarcely scattered with larger overlapping. Among established networks, the distribution of network features was partially similar in RSM and ABM. The average target number correlated with each component was 1.86 in RSM and 2.11 in ABM respectively. Each average target number was respectively correlated with 4.46 compounds and 3.93 compounds, reflecting multi-component and multi-target actions.
CONCLUSIONComputer simulation could intuitively trace out similarities and differences of two different methods and their interaction with targets, which revealed that the compatibility of RSM and ABM could have broader protein targets and potential synergism at the molecular level.
