OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the correlation between tongue body MRI measurements and the lingual region obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS), and the relationship of two diagnosis methods in positioning obstructive level, in order to improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of obstructive level in OSAHS patients .
METHOD:
Fifty-nine patients with OSAHS definited by the AG200 sleep apnea monitoring and obstruction plane positioning system was included. They all underwent tongue MRI scan, after three-dimensional reconstruction, the tongue body length to diameter, relative thickness, basal diameter, wide around central about wide diameter and tongue body volume were measured. The lower blocking (mainly composed of lingual region) constituent ratio P established by AG200 was correlated with tongue parameters measured by MRI. At the same time, To analysis of differences of P in patients with different degree of OSAHS.
RESULT:
Among these patients with OSAHS in different degree, the coefficient correlation between tongue parameters(tongue length, relative thickness, basal diameter, wide middle diameter, tongue body volume) and lower blocking constitute ratio P werer LP = 0.051,rHP = 0.069, r1 = 0.215, r2 = 0.147, rVP = 0.259, respectively. lower obstruction of form than the differences had statistical significance. The measured tongue parameters and value P(the lower blocking constituent ratio) were negatively correlated, which demonstrated that exclusing of the larynx and hypopharynx airway obstruction, the lower airway obstruction detected by AG200 was related with tongue parameters measured by MRI, and was strongestly related with the tongue body volume.
CONCLUSION
The volume of tongue and AG had correlation in judgement of lower blocking. In OSAHS patients the lower blocking constituent ratio varies between the defferent severity groups of the disease, the combina tion of the two method can be used to predict the obstructive plane in OSAHS patients with upper airway obstruction, and provide the basis for the individual treatment of patients with OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the influence of tethered cord syndrome (TCS) on the up-per urinary tract and its etiology. Methods Forty patients with TCS diagnosed by spinal MRI were enrolled in this study. There were 21 males and 19 females with mean age of 23 years old. The course of disease ranged from 1 to 40 years. Urinalysis, mid-stream urine culture, serum creatinine(SCr), urinary system ultrasound, IVU, eystography and urodynamic study were carried out on all patients. Results Urinary tract infection was found in 17 patients and increased level of SCr was found in 6 pa-tients (251.64±98.5μmol/L). Of the 29 patients who underwent urinary system ultrasound examina-tion, 12 cases had hydronephroais and dilated upper ureter. Of the 30 patients who underwent IVU, 10(33.3%) had ureterectasia and hydronephrosis, 22 cases had bladder turriform or Christmas tree like deformity with diverticulum and trabeculum. Of the 22 patients accepted cystography, 17 cases had vesieoureteral reflux on 27 sides. Post-void residual (PVR) was evaluated in 35 patients and found increased in 31 cases. Cystometry had been done in 33 patients. The mean value of maximal detrusor pressure (Pdetmax) during filling phase was 41.2±20.9 cm H2O. The detrusor compliance was 22.35±18.8 ml/cm H2O. During voiding phase, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia(DSD)was observed in 16 patients, detrusor areflexia was observed in 16 patients and detrusor underactivity was observed in 13 patients. Resting urethral pressure profilemetry was measured in 16 patients. Maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP) was 76.1±33.1 cm H2O. The upper urinary tract deterioration was de-fined as increased SCr, hydronephrosis or vesicoureteral reflux. There were 20 patients diagnosed as upper urinary tract deterioration. The compliance of the upper urinary tract deteriorating group and the no-deteriorating group was 9.4±7.8 vs 19.3±15.8 ml/cm H2O, Pdetmax was 43.1±21.2 vs 24.0±11.9 cm H2O, PVR 189.0±138.0 vs 47.8±36.8 ml, MUCP 86.2±32.4 vs 46.8 5±20.8 cm H2O, incidence of damaged detrusor 100.0% vs 69.2% and DSD 65.0% vs 23.1%, respectively. There were significant differences between the 2 groups(P<0.05). And when comparing the VUR group with no VUR group, the incidence of urinary tract infection was 94.1%(16/17) vs 20.0%(1/ 5) (P=0.003). And when comparing urinary tract infection group with no infection group, the inci-dence of upper urinary tract deterioration was 88.2% (15/17) vs 21.7%(5/23)(P=0.000). Condn-sion Low compliance bladder, high Pdetmax during filling phase, increased PVR, high MUCP, damage of detrusor contractive function and DSD are the risk factors for upper urinary tract deteriora-tion in the TCS patients.

AIM:To study the effect of hypertensive arteriosclerosis on cerebral blood flow autoregulation (CBFA), and to introduce a new method to measure the lower limit. METHODS:The blood velocities and blood pressure was recorded simultaneously and the curves of CBFA were analyzed and classified into classical and non-classical pattern. The lower limit were determined by clinical closing pressure (CCP) and the curve CBFA. RESULTS:When the blood pressure was decreasing, the classical and non-classical pattern of the cerebral blood flow autoregulation were 25% and 75% respectively in normal SD rats, while they were 40.55% and 54.45% respectively in renovascular hypertensive rats (RHR). However, when the blood pressure was elevating, the classical and non-classical pattern were 76.47% and 23.53% respectively in SD rats, while they were all classical in RHR. Furthermore, in SD and RHR ras, the lower limits measured by CCP were well in accordance with that measured by CBFA. CONCLUSION:Hypertensive arteriosclerosis could influence the limits and the patterns of cerebral blood flow autoregulation. The lower limit of CBFA can be measured and analyzed by CCP.

Objective To establish a new practical method to assess the cerebral blood flow autoregulation. Methods We assessed the flow velociey of middle cerebral artery with transcranial Doppler and recorded invasively the blood presure simultaneonsly. Then on the basis of critical closing pressure (CCP), the lower limit of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and the blood flow resistance of arterioles were calculated.The data compared with the results generated by routine method. Results The lower limit of autoregulation working out by CCP was 70.88±24.05 mmHg, which was similar to the result measured by routine method. The lower limit of autoregulation and the arteriole resistance in RHR were significantly higher than those of normal controls, and highly relate to arterial blood pressure significantly, especially pulse pressure. Conclusions The physiology and pathology of cerebral blood flow can be evaluated conveniently and accurately by assessment of the lower limit of autoregulation and arterioles resistance with CCP.

Objective To investigate the potential application of human transforming growth factor-beta-1 (hTGF-β1) gene mediated by type 2 recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV2) vector inducing chondrogenic differentiation of canine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. Methods Canine MSCs from bone marrow were isolated and cultured in vitro by density gradient centrifngation and adherence screening methods. The morphology of MSCs was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope and Giemsa stain. Flow eytometry was used to detect surface antigens of MSCs, The third generation of MSCs were transfected by rAAV2-hTGF-β1 with or without MOI of 1 ×105 v.g./cell or 5×105 v.g./cell. The expression of hTGF-β1 was detected by Western blot after 10 days, and TGF-β1 synthesis was determined by ELISA at 3, 6 and 9 day, respectively. After 2 weeks of culturing, mRNA expressions of type Ⅱ collagen and aggrecan were determined by RT-PCR and the collagen Ⅱ protein was detected by immunocytochemistry. Results The MSCs appeared to be morphologically spindle-shaped and showed active capability of proliferation both in primary and passage generations. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that MSCs were universally positive for CD29, CD44 and CD105, but negative for CD34 and CD45. TGF-β1 expression can be observed by Western blot after 10 days in two transfection groups, MOI of 5 × 105 group and MOI of 1× 105 group. With the extension of time, the contents of hTGF-β1 increased in the two groups detected by ELISA, while there was a significant difference between them two (P < 0.01). After 2 weeks of transfection of MSCs by rAAV2-hTGF-β1, the expression of collagen Ⅱ and Aggreacan mRNAs were positive. It also showed positive of collagen Ⅱ detected by immunocytochemistry. Conclusion Canine MSCs show chondrogenesis differentiation after induction by Type 2 rAAV mediated transfer of TGF-β1 gene. The process is a potential application for cartilage tissue engineering.
