Objective To evaluate risk factors of restenosis of vertebral artery origin after stenting.Methods A total of 144 continuous cases were collected for this retrospective analysis.More than 50％ of stenosis in the original sites after treatment was defined as restenosis.Patients were divided into restenosis group (39 patients) and none-restenosis group (105 patients).The risk factors associated with restenosis were compared between the two groups by Chi-square test,including sex,age,presence of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,hyperlipidemia,smoking and drinking,the difference of preoperative neurological symptoms,combination with other vessels,stenosis,as well as stent type and stent size.Logistic regression was used to test the risk factors for restenosis.Results The incidence of restenosis of vertebral artery origin after stenting was 26.4％,and all of them occurred in 5 months.Between the two groups,there was no significant difference of distribution of sex (male 89,female 34,x2 =0.804,P =0.370),age(60 vs 21 patients of more than 60 years old,x2 =2.358,P =0.125),hypertension (67 vs 28 patients,x2 =0.253,P =0.615),diabetes (27 vs 9 patients,x2 =0.914,P =0.91),hyperlipidemia (6 vs 5 patients,x2 =0.478,P =0.489),coronary heart disease(32 vs 6 patients,x2 =2.489,P =0.115),smoking (50 vs 24 patients,x2 =0.129,P =0.719),drinking(20 vs 13 patients,x2 =0.001,P =0.978),diameter of stents (53 vs 18 patients of more than 4 mm,x2 =0.213,P =0.645),length of stents (45 vs 19 patients of more than 15 mm,x2 =0.927,P =0.336),preoperative neurological symptoms (93 vs 29 patients,x2 =0.250,P =0.617).There was significant difference of factors including combination with the bilateral stenosis (43 vs 24 patients,x2 =4.844,P =0.028),combination with the internal carotid artery stenosis(49 vs 26 patients,x2 =4.558,P =0.033) and stent types(59 vs 11 patients of drug eluting stent,x2 =8.916,P =0.003) between the two groups.Bare stents and combination with internal carotid artery stenosis were independent risk factors for restenosis by logistic regression.Conclusions The incidence of restenosis with vertebral artery origin occurs in 5 months after surgery.Bare stents and combination with internal carotid artery stenosis increased the incidence of restenosis,and preoperative neurological symptoms of vertebrobasilar system and presence of the bilateral stenosis may induce restenosis.

Objective:To study the effect and influence factor analysis of DLBCL patient with early stage who receive radiotherapy after chemotherapy.Methods: 374 cases of patients with DLBCL was selected from January 2010 to December 2015 in our hospital. By random number table method, the patients were divided into CHOP group (n=104), R-CHOP+RT group (n=93), R-CHOP group (n=80), CHOP+RT group (n=97). CHOP chemotherapy was given to all patients, 180 patients received radiotherapy after chemotherapy, and 169 patients received rituximab. Survival rates were compared between the 4 groups.Results: The survival rate of R-CHOP group in 12 months, 24 months, 50 months and 100 months were lower than R-CHOP+RT group, but the difference was not statistically significant in twelfth months(x2=2.02,P>0.05). The differences of 24 months, 50 months and 100 months were statistically significant (x2=4.08,x2=4.03,x2=8.79;P<0.05); The survival rate of CHOP group was 12 months and 24 months was higher than CHOP+RT group which the difference was not statistically significant (x2=1.05,x2=0.22;P>0.05); The survival rate of CHOP group in 50 months and 100th months was lower than CHOP+RT, but the difference was no significant difference (x2=1.62,x2=0.03;P>0.05). Smoking index, whether the use of rituximab, the age associated with the survival of patients, the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion: Early DLBCL patients with R-CHOP and radiotherapy combined treatment can be effective in patients with survival, while the use of rituximab chemotherapy, in addition to smoking on the prognosis of patients with serious adverse effects.

AIM: To investigate the effect of 17?-estradiol on insulin action in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts. METHODS: C2C12 mytoblasts were cultured in 35 mm wells of six-well culture plate in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 at 37℃ in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin(1?10 5 U/L) to reach 80% confluence. Insulin-resistance C2C12 mytoblasts were obtained by incubating the cells for 24 hours in the presence of a high concentration (5?10 -7 mol/L) of insulin. After treatmented with 17?-estradiol (1 nmol/L and 10 nmol/L, respectively) for 24 hours, C2C12 mytoblasts were performed to measure insulin-stimulated 2-DG uptake and GS, PFK, PK activities. RESULTS: 17?-estradiol enhanced the capacity of insulin-stimulited 2-DG uptake, increased the GS, PFK and PK activities and prevented insulin-induced resistance in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts. CONCLUSION: 17?-estradiol potentiates insulin action and preventes insulin-induced resistance in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts.

Objective The investigation of diatom species composition and database of diatom scanning electron microscope in the Pearl River of Guangdong province. Methods Using the Lefort aqua regia digestion 19 different sampling sites (6 in the West River, 9 in the North River, and 4 in the East River) were sampled by us in June and September 2012.Water samples from each sampling site was digested and then observed by scanning electron microscopy. The diatom genera found in samples were recorded. Results 21 diatom genera, including Achnanthes, Cocconeis, Coscinodiscus, Cyclotella, Cymatopleura, Cymbella, Diatoma, Diploneis, Gomphonema, Gyrosigma, Hantzschia, Melosira, Navicula, Nitzschia, Pinnularia, Rhoicosphenia, Stauroneis, Stephanodisus, Surirella, Synedra, Tabellaria, were found in all the samples. Conclusion It is helpful to legal medical expert by using database of diatom scanning electron microscope in the Pearl River of Guangdong province. As hundreds of diatoms pictures were taken by SEM, it would be a valuable reference of diatoms identification for forensic experts as well as diagnosis of drowning place.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy of three methods for forensic diatom test, namely strong acid digestion-centrifuge enrichment-light microscopy (SD-CE-LM), microwave digestion-membrane filtration-automated scanning electron microscopy (MD-ME-SEM), and microwave digestion-membrane filtration-light microscopy (MD-MF-LM).

METHODSSixty samples were randomly divided into 3 groups for diatom test using three methods, and the sample preparation time, degree of digestion and recovery rate of diatoms were compared.

RESULTSThe sample preparation time was the shortest with MD-MF-LM and the longest with SD-CE-LM (P<0.05). MD-ME-SEM and MD-MF-LM allowed more thorough tissue digestion than SD-CE-LM. MD-ME-SEM resulted in the highest total recovery rate of diatom, followed by MD-MF-LM and then by SD-CE-LM (P<0.05); the recover rate of different diatom species was the highest with MD-ME-SEM, followed by MD-MF-LM and SD-CE-LM (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSD-CE-LM has a low recovery rate of diatoms especially for those with lengths shorter than 40 µm or densities less than 1/5. With a high recovery rate and accuracy in diatom test, MD-ME-SEM is suitable for diagnosis of suspected drowning cases. MD-MF-LM is highly efficient, sensitive and convenient for forensic diatom test.

Objective To understand the correlation of expression levels of serum stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and β2microglobulin (β2-MG) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with or without myeloma bone disease (MBD). Methods Eighty patients with MM who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2014 to June 2017 were selected; all of the patients met the international diagnostic criteria for MM. According to the symptoms such as bone pain, the patients were divided into group with MBD (45 cases) and group without MBD (35 cases). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum levels of SDF-1α and OPG, and radioimmunoassay was used to detect the expression of MM major prognostic indicator β2-MG. The MBD score was evaluated in 45 patients selected by random number table after sacroiliac joint X-ray and three-dimensional bone reconstruction. The χ 2test was used to compare the categorical variables; the two independent sample t-test was used to compare the continuous variables that conformed to the normal distribution between two groups, and the Pearson method was used for the correlation analysis. Results The expression level of serum SDF-1α in the group with MBD was significantly higher than that in the group without MBD [0.31±0.17) pg/ml vs. (0.18±0.06) pg/ml], and the difference was statistically significant (t ＝-4.21, P < 0.001). The expression level of serum OPG in the group with MBD was significantly lower than that in the group without MBD [(0.73±0.50) pg/ml vs. (1.08±0.31) pg/ml], and the difference was statistically significant (t＝ 3.62, P< 0.001). Pearson analysis showed that β2-MG level in the group was positively correlated with SDF-1α level (r＝ 0.84, P< 0.001), and negatively correlated with OPG level (r＝ -0.48, P<0.001). The β2-MG level in the group without MBD did not show a correlation with the SDF-1α and OPG levels. Conclusions In the serum of patients with MBD, the expression levels of β2-MG and SDF-1α are increased, and the expression level of OPG is decreased. SDF-1α and OPG may be new clinical biochemical indicators for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment in MBD.
