Objective To explore the clinical application value of whole-brain CTA-CTP imaging in cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM).Methods Fifteen patients diagnosed with cAVM by CTA-CTP imaging were included in this retrospective analysis study. The angioarchitecture of cAVM lesions were recorded from 4D-CTA images.Using DSA as the golden standard,the diagnostic accuracy of 4D-CTA was evaluated in 13 cases.The perfusion patterns of vessel nidus and peritumoral tissues were analyzed from the CTP images.Bleeding ratios of patients with different angioarchitecture and perfusion patterns were compared.Results 4D-CTA could dynamically display the angioarchitecture details of cAVM lesions and show the whole process of the contrast agent in and out of the vessel nidus.Although the result of 4D-CTA was consistent with that of DSA in most cases,a few fine feeding arteries and draining veins were missed.The nidus in thirteen cases was with high perfusion and the peritumoral tissues were with low perfusion.Another two cases were with low perfusion due to the presence of hematoma.Nine cAVMs suffered from small size,single feeding artery,deep venous drainage and vessel nidus with increased MTT,peritumoral tissues with decreased MTT were more likely to suffer a hemorrhage (P<0.05).Conclusion Whole-brain CTA-CTP imaging could be a valuable adjunct in noninvasive diagnosis of cAVM and predicting the bleeding risk factors.

An innovative approach,named associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS),has made possible a marked increase in future liver remnant (FLR) over a short period of time,and has challenged the concept of unresectability.To date,ALPPS has been employed for a variety of primary and metastatic liver tumors from many centers across the world.Many technical variations of ALPPS have been described.However,much controversy has surrounded this procedure,and many problems remain to be solved,such as the reasons for rapid hypertrophy,the technical feasibility,safety and long-term oncologic outcomes,and the result compared with the conventional two-stage hepatectomy.These aspects are needed to be evaluated further in large-scale studies.We believe that the ALPPS procedure will has much room for further development.

Objective:To study the HBV infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in mediating the role of mother -to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.Methods: The peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs ) in maternal and cord blood mononuclear cells ( CBMCs ) in newborns were conventionally isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque medium.The loads of HBV-DNA in peripheral blood of maternal and cord blood of newborns were both detected by PCR .Results:The clinical data showed that the positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in serum and PBMCs of pregnant women with HBeAg (+) were 100.00%( 25/25 ) and 72.00%( 18/25),and the positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in the neonatal umbilical cord blood serum and CBMCs were 60.00%(15/25) and 44.00%(11/25),respectively.There were significantly difference between HBeAg (+) and HBeAg(-) in the pregnant women (P<0.05 ).The positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in neonatal umbilical cord blood serum and CBMCs were higher in the group with high HBV loads (more than 106copies/ml) in PBMCs than those of low HBV loading group (102-103copies/ml).The significantly difference was explored between the two groups.Conclusion: Mononuclear cells can not only be infected by HBV , but also play a critical role in the intrauterine vertical transmission of HBV via the pathway transmitted from PBMCs in pregnant women to CBMCs in newborns.

Objective To explore the effect of oleanic acid on key enzyme activity in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. Methods The HepG2 cells were divided into normal control,model control,metformin,and oleanic acid groups.Glycogen content in insulin-resistant HepG2 cell model were detected by hepatic glycogen test kit upon treatment with oleanic acid.Activities of glucokinase ( GK) ,phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PEPCK),and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) were assayed by the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase coupling colorimetric, lactate dehydrogenase coupling colorimetric and ammonium molybdate constant phosphorus methods. Results The oleanic acid enhanced glucose consumption,lowered the activity of G-6-Pase and PEPCK by 54.8% and 18.8%,respectively,and increased the activity of GK and glycogen content in also insulin-resistant HepG2 cells by 100.6% and 98.6%,respectively. Conclusion Aqueous extracts of shirako play a role in lowering PEPCK and G-6-Pase activities and inhibiting glucogenesis, resulting in the reduction of endogenous glucose in the cell. In addition,it can augment the activity of GK,accelerate the process of glucolysis,increase the glycogen content,and alleviate insulin resistance of HepG2.

OBJECTIVE:To validate the microbial limit tests of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid.METHODS:The recovery rates of 4 kinds of test organisms including E.coli treated by Shuanghuanglian oral liquid were detected by routine method,culture medium dilution method,and membrane-filter procedure respectively.RESULTS:Shuanghuanglian oral liquid was found to be of bacteriostatic action.The contamination of solution couldn't be detected by routine method.The recovery rate of the test organisms detected by membrane-filter procedure was higher than by culture medium dilution method,but the recovery rates in both methods were all up to the requirement.CONCLUSION:Membrane-filter procedure should be considered preferentially in performing microbial limit test for Shuanghuanglian oral liquid.

Objective To confirm the vancomycin loaded gelatin/β-TCP composite porous scaffolds could be used as sustained-release system,and investigate its efficiency of eliminating infections and repairing bone defects for the treatment of infected bone defects in rabbit.Methods The biodegradable gelatin sponge containing different contents (0,10％,30％,50％) of β-tricalcium phosphate ceramic (β-TCP) was prepared for the controlled-release of vancomycin and labeled with G-0 TCP,G-10 TCP,G-30 TCP and G-50 TCP respectively.Examinations of scanning electron microscopy,porosity analyses and mechanical test were performed.The K-B method was used to investigate the controlled release of vancomycin.Chronic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis models of rabbit were established.After thorough debridement,the infected bone defects were treated in four different groups:blank control group,G-0 TCP group,G-10 TCP group,and G-30 TCP group.At 4 and 8 weeks after implantation,X-ray and histological examinations were carried out to investigate the efficiency of eliminating infections and repairing bone defects.Results The prepared gelatin/β-TCP scaffold exhibited a homogeneously interconnected-3-D porous structure.And the β-TCP granules were localized evenly on the walls of the composite scaffold.There were no significant differences in the pore size of different scaffolds.However,the β-TCP granules can improve the interconnection.The porosity exhibited an obvious increase in G-10 TCP and G-30 TCP composite scaffolds compared with G-0 TCP scaffold.In contrast,too high content of β-TCP granules decreased the porosity.And the porosity exhibited an obvious reduction in the G-50 TCP composite scaffold.The compressive modulus of the vancomycin loaded scaffolds increased with the increase of the β-TCP amount.The scaffold G-0 TCP exhibited the longest duration of vancomycin release and the duration reached 8 weeks.With the increased content of β-TCP granules,the release duration shortened obviously.Compared with the G-50 TCP composite scaffold,the G-10 TCP and G-30 TCP composite scaffolds revealed a better controlled release of the drugs,and the total amount of the drugs was released within 7 weeks.However,the total amount of vancomycin released from the G-50 TCP composite scaffold lasted for 3 weeks.In the treatment of chronic MRSA osteomyelitis of rabbits,the G-30 TCP composite scaffold showed a better performance in the eliminating infections and bone defects repair.At 8 weeks after implantation,signs of osteomyelitis,including osteolysis,development of periosteal reactions,and sequestral bone formation were observed in the animals of blank control group.Signs of infection were absent in other treatment group.In the group treated with G-30 TCP composite scaffold,the bonedefects were repaired completely at 8 weeks after implantation.However,in the groups treated with G-0 TCP and G-10 TCP composite scaffold,the bone defects were not repaired.Conclusion The composite scaffolds could achieve local therapeutic drug levels over an extended duration.And the gelatin with 30％ β-TCP granules composite scaffold had optimal porosity,interconnection,mechanical properties and controlled release performances.It exhibited good performances in infection control and bone defect repair in the chronic MRSA osteomyelitis model.

Objective To explore the effects of different concentrations of propofol postconditioning against glutamate neurotoxicity to brain slices of neonatal rats.Methods The brain slices of neonatal rats were prepared and cultured in complete medium.They were randomly divided into five groups:the normal control group,glutamate injury group(RI group),1 mg/L propofol postconditioning group(PL1+RI group),3 mg/L propofol postconditioning group(PL3+RI group),5 mg/L propofol postconditioning group(PL5+RI group),12 cases in each group.The RI,PL1+RI,PL3+RI,PL5+RI groups were cultured for 6 days,then the brain slices were moved into the culture medium containing glutamate(1 mmol/L) and incubated for 30 minutes.And then,respectively,the brain slices of RI group were put into another complete culture medium,the PL1+RI group,PL3+RI group and PL5+RI group were put into the medium containing corresponding concentrations of propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion injection.All of the above were cultured for 24 hours in order to establish the injury model.The numbers of the Nissl body,the LDH release rates and the brain tissue damage rates of each brain slice were detected to evaluate the effects of propofol postconditioning on the reperfusion injury in the glutamate-damaged brain slices of neonatal rats.Results Compared with the RI group,the numbers of the Nissl body of the PL1+RI group,PL3+RI group and PL5+RI were higher,the LDH release rates and the brain tissue damage rates of the PL1+RI group,PL3+RI group and PL5+RI were lower,the diferences were significant(P<0.05).Among the three PL+RI groups,the LDH release rates and the brain tissue damage rates of the PL3+RI group were lower than those of the other two groups,the diferences were significant(P<0.05),at the same time,the numbers of Nissl body were more than the other two groups,the diferences were significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Propofol postconditioning has protective effects on the reperfusion injury in the glutamate-damaged brain slices of neonatal rats.However,the protective effects are not dose-dependent,and 3 μg/mL is the best dose of propofol to keep the glutamate-damaged brain slices from reperfusion injury in this research.
