Objective To summarize and classify the CT manifestations of chest wall tuberculosis and to investigate the relationship between CT classification and clinical operation method.Methods CT data of 142cases was collected from patients that were confirmed by surgical pathology of chest wall tuberculosis.Bone algorithm reconstruction and volume rendring three-dimensional reconstruction were applied to observe ribs.Results Four types were classified according to the CT manifestations.Type Ⅰ:27 cases pleural tuberculoma,and all of which were conducted simple removal of lesions.Type Ⅱ:18 cases sternum or ribs tuberculosis,which were conducted surgical removal of the invaded frame and the surrounding lesions in caseous necrosis and all the tuberculous granuloma.Type Ⅲ:21 cases rib outboard tuberculosis,of which 12 cases were conducted simple removal of lesions and 9 cases removal of lesions and small segment of ribs.Type Ⅳ:76 cases hybrid,of which abscess excision plus rib resection in 65 cases and resection with chest wall abscess (muscle) between ribs and rib resection with padded muscle flap surgery in 11 cases.Conclusions CT can clearly show the location,size,scope of involvement of the chest wall tuberculosis,and selecting the preoperative surgical strategy based on CT classification can provide guidance for operation.

Objective To investigate the role of NFIC on the stimulation effects of cAMP-induced differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla ( SCAPs) in vitro. Methods SCAPs isolated from dental papilla of human imma-ture third molars were cultured by enzyme digestion. SCAPs were transfected with lentivirus that overexpressed NF-IC gene ( ov-NFIC) or an empty vector ( LV-empty) and co-treatment with Forskolin. Mineralized nodule formation of each group was measured by alizarin red staining. Quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to test the expressions of RUNX2,ALP,OCN mRNA. Results Forskolin increased the ex-pression of Runx2, ALP, OCN mRNA as well as matrix mineralization in SCAPs, and the stimulation effects of For-skolin were enhanced by overexpressing NFIC gene. Conclusion The results indicate that NFIC can promote cAMP-induced differentiation of SCAPs.

Objective To investigate the best way of delivery for pregnant women with uterine fibroids. Methods The data of 87 pregnant women with uterine fibroids were analyzed. Results Among 87 pregnant patients with uterine fibroids ,68 eases are cesarean section, 19 eases are vaginal delivery. 65 eases are myomeetomy during ce-sarean section,and 3 eases are subtotal hysterectomy. Condusion Myomeetomy during cesarean section doesn't in-crease the risk of the operation when choosing the right eases. It is safe and feasible.

Objective:To study the inhibition of astragaloside on the proliferation of human keloid fibroblasts. Methods: Com-pared with that of normal skin, the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) and its transduction factors Smad in the human keloid fibroblasts was detected. The optimal concentration was screened by MTT after HFF-1 human skin fibroblast was infected with astragaloside at different concentrations. The mRNA expression of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was studied by using real-time. The protein expression of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was detected by using Western blot. Results: Compared with that of normal skin tissue, the expression of Smad protein was significantly increased ( P <0. 05) in the human keloid fibroblasts, and there was no significant difference in the TGF-βRⅡ expression (P>0. 05). The optimal concentration of astragaloside was 0. 5μg·ml-1 . The expression level of Smad2 protein in the two groups was significantly increased, and the level of Smad3 expression was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Astragaloside can inhibit the formation of fi-broblast possibly through Smad2 over-expression and Smad3 inhibition in the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.

Objective To evaluate the role of P2X receptors in the synthesis and release of IL-1β during oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in rat hippocampus. Methods Male SD rats weighing 150-200 g were anesthetized with ether and decapitated. The hippocampi were removed and sagittally sliced (400 μm thick) and placed in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2. One hundred and sixty hippocampal slices were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 40 each): Ⅰ control group (group C); Ⅱ OGD group; Ⅲ OGD +BBG group; Ⅳ OGD + anti-P2X4 group (group OP). In group C, the hippocampal slices were continously incubated with aCSF aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2 . In group OGD, the hippocampal slices were incubated with glucose-free aCSF and aerated with 95% N2-5%CO2 . In group OGD + BBG, the hippocampal slices were incubated with aCSF containning P2X7 receptor-specific antagonist G (BBG, final concentration 1 μmol/L) and aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2 for 20 min, then exposed to OGD, and BBG (final concentration 1 μ mol/L) was added in glucose-free aCSF. In group OP, the hippocampal slices were incubated with aCSF containning P2X4 receptor antibody (final concentration 1.5 μg/ml) and aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2 for 60 min, then exposed to OGD, and P2X4 receptor antibody (final concentration 1.5 μg/ml) was added in glucose-free aCSF. LDH and IL-1β release was detected before OGD and at 20, 40 and 60 min of OGD. Histological changes were observed using HE staining.Intracellular pro-IL-1β precursor protein expression was detected by Western blot at 60 min of OGD. Results LDH and IL-1β release and expression of intracellular pro-IL-1β precursor protein were signifcantly higher in the other groups than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Compared with group OGD, LDH and IL- 1 β release was signifcantly decreased, while the expression of intracellular pro-IL-1β precursor protein un-regulated in group OGD + BBG ( P ＜0.05), but no signifcant difference was found in the prarameters mentioned above in group OP ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion P2X7 receptor mediates the synthesis and release of IL-1β during OGD in rat hippocampus, but P2X4 receptor does not.

Objective To evaluate the role of P2X7 receptors in release of glutamate (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) during oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in rat hippocampus and neuronal synaptosome.Methods Healthy male SD rats weighing 150-200 g were decapitated. Their hippocampi were isolated and cut into slices 400 μm thick or made into neuronal synaptosomes. The hippocampal slices and neuronal synaptosomes were incubated in artificial cerebro-spinal fluid (aCSF) at 35℃ for 30 min and divided into 3 groups ( n = 32 or 24 each): control group (group C); group OGD and group OGD + BBG (brilliant blue G, a specific P2X7 receptor antagonist). OGD was induced by incubating the slices and synaptosomes in glucose-free aCSF aerated with 95% N2-5% CO2. In group OGD + BBG the slices and synaptosomes were incubated in O2-glucose deprived aCSF containing BBG 1 μmol/L 2 ml. Release of Glu and GABA from hippocampal slices and synaptosomes was determined by HPLC at 0, 20, 40, 60 min of OGD (T1-4). Hippocampal slices were examined with microscope.Results ( 1 ) The release of Glu and GABA from hippocampal slices and synaptosomes were significantly increased after OGD ( P ＜ 0.05). (2) Glu released from hippocampal slices was significantly decreased at T3-4 and Glu released from synaptosomes increased at T2-4 in group OGD + BBG as compared with group OGD ( P ＜ 0.05). (3)GABA released from hippocampal slices was significantly decreased at T4 in group OGD + BBG as compared with group OGD ( P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in GABA released from synaptosomes between group OGD and OGD + BBG (P ＞ 0.05). (4) Microscopic examination showed that OGD induced significant histopathological damage to hippocampal slices which was attenuated by BBG treatment. Conclusion P2X7 receptors mediates the release of Glu and GABA during OGD in rat hippocampus and the P2X7 receptors in glial cells plays a leading role.
