Objective To evaluate the value of three-dimensional power Doppler imaging(3D-PDI) in the discrimination between benign and malignant endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding. Methods Eighty-four women with post menopausal bleeding who examined by 3D-PDI were enrolled. All patients scheduled for pathological examination were divided into benign group (30 cases with endometrial polyps and 34 cases with hyperplasia) and malignant group (20 cases with endometrial carcinoma). Endometrial volume, vascularity index ( VI) , flow index ( FI) and vascularity flow index ( VFI) were measured. The diagnostic value of parameters derived from 3D-PDI was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve. Results Differences of these parameters (VI, FI and VFI) were considered statistically significant between two groups, the parameters of endometrial volume had no significant differences between two groups; the area under ROC curve(AUC) of the meaningful data were 0.976,0.888 and 0.894 respectively. Among these parameters, VI had the highest diagnostic value for discriminating between benign and malignant endometrium, the cut-off value of which was 2. 97 with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 86%. Conclusions 3D-PDI is a good diagnostic tools in the discriminations between benign and malignant endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding.

Background Mooren 's ulcer is an immune-related corneal inflammatory disease,and its pathogenesis remains below understood.Previous studies showed that the imbalance of T helper cell type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cell play important roles in the development of some autoimmune diseases.Thereby the influence of Th1/Th2 cells on the pathogenesis of Mooren's ulcer is being concerned.Objective This study was to investigate the change of Th1 and Th2 subsets in periphery blood of patients with active Mooren's ulcer.Methods Eleven consecutive patients with active Mooren's ulcer and 8 age-and gener-matched healthy controls were included in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center,Sun Yat-sen University from January 2012 to July 2013 under the approval of Ethic Committee of this hospital and informed consent of each subject.The peripheral blood samples of all the subjects were obtained separately and periphery blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)were isolated.The percentages of Th1 and Th2 in the PBMCs were assayed by flow cytometer.The relative expressions of T-bet mRNA,GATA-3 mRNA and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5) mRNA in the PBMCs were examined and compared by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) Results The percentage of Th1 cells in CD4+ T cells and Th1/Th2 value was 0.21％ (0.11％,0.31％) and 8.01 (4.49,12.01) respectively in the Mooren's ulcer group,which were significantly lower than 0.35％ (0.22％,0.71％)and 23.90 (22.49,33.49)in the normal control group,respectively (Z =-2.01,P =0.04 ; Z =-3.06,P =0.00).However,no significant difference was found in the percentage of Th2 between the two groups (Z=-1.98,P＞0.05).The relative expressions of T-bet mRNA and GATA-3 mRNA in PBMCs were significantly lower in the Mooren's ulcer group than those in the normal control group (Z =-3.47,-3.06,both at P=0.00) ;While the relative expression of Stat5 mRNA in PBMCs was insignificant changed between the two groups (Z =-1.05,P =0.33).Conclusions Th1 and Th2 cells are unbalanced in the active Mooren's ulcer patients.In addition,the down-expression of relevant transcription factors in peripheral blood also is seen in these patients.It is inferred that Th1 and Th2 cells may participate in the progress of Mooren's ulcer.

To evaluate the application of intracavitary three-dimensional ultrasonography in the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS). The three-dimensional volumes of ovary were measured by intracavitary ultrasonography in 40 PCOS patients and 40 normal controls. The diagnostic value of parameters derived from three-dimensional ultrasonography was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The ovarian volume, stromal volume, and the stromal/total volume ratio in PCOS group were significantly higher than those in control group (both P ＜ 0. 05 ) ; the area under ROC curve ( AUC ) of them were 0. 876, 0. 926, 0. 886 respectively. Among these parameters, stromal volume had the highest diagnostic value for PCOS, the cut-off value of which was 7.52 cm3 with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 90%. Volume parameters of ovary measured by intracavitary three-dimensional ultrasonography can offer quantitative information for the diagnosis of PCOS.

Objective To explore the value of strain rate and dobutamine stress echocardiography(DSE) in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Methods High-dose DSE was performed in 18 patients with coronary heart disease and 10 healthy persons, proved by selected coronary angiography. Ten patients had single coronary lesion, and the other 8 patients had more. By strain rate technology, systolic peak strain rate(SR_ SYS ) was measured in 12 segments of healthy persons and ischemic segments of patients. Results SR_ SYS of healthy subjects enhanced by the increasement of dose of DSE. In patients with single coronary lesion, SR_ SYS enhanced on the first states of baseline, 10 and 20 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 ,while SR_ SYS changed non-significantly on 30 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 , and began to decrease on 40 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 . However in patients with more than one coronary lesions, SR_ SYS of 10 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 became larger than that of baseline, while SR_ SYS didn't increase any longer on 20 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 , and fell significantly on 40 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 . Conclusions Combining stain rate and DSE to quantify local myocardial motion is valuable to offer many important clinic messages, and improves the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a respiratory disorder with high morbidity and mortality caused by various causes. Exosomes can mediate cell communication through paracrine pathways, transfer proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, etc., and interfere with the biological functions of recipient cells. Various cell-derived exosomes have been reported to play an immunomodulatory role in the ALI/ARDS inflammatory model. This article reviews the mechanism of exosomes involved in immune regulation of ALI/ARDS and possible therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To observe the effects of acupuncture at Houxi(SI3)and Huantiao(GB30)on the expression levels of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),and nitric oxide(NO)of NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway in L5 spinal nerve root of lumbar disc herniation(LDH)model rats and explore the mechanism of acupuncture in LDH treatment.Methods:Forty specific-pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group,a model group,acupuncture group 1,and acupuncture group 2,with 10 rats in each group.The non-compression nucleus protrusion model was made by puncturing L4-L5 spinous process space and injecting autologous nucleus suspension.Acupuncture at bilateral Shenshu(BL23),Dachangshu(BL25),and Weizhong(BL40)was carried out in acupuncture group 1,and acupuncture at bilateral Houxi(SI3)and Huantiao(GB30)in acupuncture group 2.All rats were treated with balanced reinforcing and reducing needling manipulations,and the needles were retained for 30 min/time with one episode of needling manipulation every 10 min,once a day,14 times in total.The threshold value of paw withdrawal pain was measured by a thermal stimulation pain instrument;the serum NF-κB,iNOS,and NO levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The pathomorphological changes of spinal nerve roots were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining;quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to detect iNOS mRNA expression in spinal nerve roots;the NF-κB and iNOS protein expression in spinal nerve roots was detected by the immunofluorescence method.Results:Compared with the sham operation group,the threshold of paw withdrawal pain in the model group was decreased,and the expression levels of serum NF-κB,iNOS,and NO were increased;HE staining showed many degenerated and dissolved Schwann cells in spinal nerve roots with vacuolar changes;meanwhile,the expression levels of NF-κB and iNOS proteins,and the iNOS mRNA in spinal nerve roots were increased.Compared with the model group,the paw withdrawal pain thresholds in acupuncture group 1 and acupuncture group 2 were increased,and the increase in acupuncture group 2 was greater(P<0.05);the expression levels of serum NF-κB,iNOS,and NO in acupuncture group 1 and acupuncture group 2 were decreased,especially in acupuncture group 2(P<0.01);the vacuolar changes of spinal nerve roots,and the degeneration and lysis of Schwann cells in acupuncture group 1 and acupuncture group 2 were decreased,which were more obvious in acupuncture group 2;the NF-κB and iNOS protein expression and the iNOS mRNA expression levels in spinal nerve roots of acupuncture group 1 and acupuncture group 2 were decreased,especially in acupuncture group 2(P<0.01).Conclusion:Acupuncture at Houxi(SI3)and Huantiao(GB30)can improve the morphology of spinal nerve roots,inhibit the NF-κB and iNOS protein expression levels in spinal nerve roots and the serum NO level,and relieve the pain caused by inflammation of spinal nerve roots,which may be one of the mechanisms of acupuncture in LDH treatment.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of three dimensional (3D) printing technology in creating models of abnormal fetal aortic arch and its branches.Methods:Eleven cases of abnormal fetuses confirmed fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies from March 2019 to July 2020 in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were prospectively enrolled. All the fetuses underwent two dimensional(2D) echocardiography and spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) technology examination. The 3D volume images of fetal heart were post-processed by Mimics software to create images of the great vessels and their branches in standard tessellation language format (STL) file. The STL file was output to the 3D printer and the 3D printing models of fetal great vessels and their branches were obtained. Compared with conventional ultrasound, the characteristics and application value of 3D printed models of abnormal fetal aortic arch and its branches were analyzed.Results:Eleven fetuses were successfully modeled and printed out large blood vessels and their branch models. The 3D printing model had its own advantages in displaying large blood vessels and their branch abnormalities. It could provide high quality imaging anatomical details and visualize great vessels origin, branch and position and can better display vascular ring spatial relations.Conclusions:It is feasible to use 3D printing technology to make the fetal aortic arch and its branch abnormal model. The 3D printing model can directly display its characteristic changes and provide a certain reference basis for accurately determining the type of vascular ring in the prenatal stage.
