Objective To evaluate the value of CT virtual gastroscopy (CTVE) in clinical applications. Methods 52 patients (65 foci of stomach) were examined by CTVE combined with 2D CT, gastrointestinal series (GI) and fibric gastroscopy (FG). The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating, qualitative and staging diagnoses was compared. Results CTVE demonstrated the diameter of 0.3 cm foci in stomach. The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating and qualitative diagnoses with combination of CT and CTVE was higher than that of GI (P<0.001 ) but lower that of FG (P>0.05); In staging, CTVE was better than GI and FG. Conclusion CTVE is a complementary gastric examination, which can replace GI in the diagnosis of common physical gastrical diseases.

In this study ,we detected the positive rate of anti‐HBs and anti‐HBc antibody among the subject population in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital ,and to evaluate different detection methods of anti‐HBc antibody .The positive rate of anti‐HBs and anti‐HBc antibody were detected by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and one‐step com‐petitive enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from the year 2012 to 2013 .The subject population was divided into three groups :group 1 with the age of less than 2 years old ,group 2 with the age of 2‐20 years old ,and group 3 with the age of more than 20 years old .The positive rates of anti‐HBV antibody in the different groups were analyzed .Furthermore ,anti‐HBc antibody of 92 samples selected from the immunized population was detected by CMIA and three kinds of ELISA reagents . Meanwhile ,the detection of anti‐HBc antibody by the same ELISA reagent but different operating modes were performed in these samples .The highest positive rate of anti‐HBs antibody was detected in group 1 ,and there was no significance difference of positive rate between two detection methods of anti‐HBs antibody among three groups .The positive rate of anti‐HBc anti‐body using CMIA was significantly lower than those with ELISA among group 1 and 2 .Among the 92 samples ,the positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody was 2 .2% using CMIA .With three kinds of method of ELISA reagent ,the positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody were 79 .3% ,82 .6% and 94 .6% ,respectively ,and there was no statistical significance among the results of three ELISA reagents .Anti‐HBc was not detected from 19 samples using ELISA methods with different operating modes .It's con‐cluded that the anti‐HBs antibody declined with the increase of age ,and it is necessary to discriminate the specific population to strengthen immune system .The obviously higher positive rate of anti‐HBc antibody was found by ELISA in immunized popula‐tion than that by CM IA . Concerning on the false positive of ELISA , specimen sampling with one specific test item or the CMIA method was recommended to detect the anti‐HBc antibody .

AIM: To study the expression and the role of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 of MAPKs pathways in the development of neural tube defects induced by hyperthermia. METHODS: The animal models of golden hamster were produced by hyperthermia. The expression of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2, and levels of their phosphorylation were measured by Western blotting in control group and hyperthermia group. RESULTS: p-ERK1/2 steadily expressed in each control group, and the expression of p-ERK1/2 significantly decreased, which was different from that in the corresponding control group (P<0.05). The activity of p-JNK1/2 increased in hyperthermia group and the amount of p-JNK1/2 increased as compared to control group. The peak appeared at 16 h after exposed to hyperthermia (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Hyperthermia, which induces a decrease in p-ERK1/2 expression and increases the expression of p-JNK1/2 of MAPKs pathway, results in the unbalance of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and induces neural tube defects.

Objective To perform facial nerve monitoring in patients under the low level of neuromuscular blockade during resection of acoustic neurinomas.Methods Twenty-eight patients with large,or medium acoustic neuroma underwent the surgery of acoustic neurinomas resection. During the operation,TOF and EEG monitoring were performed in order to detect the degree of muscle relaxation and the depth of anesthesia. Neuromuscular relaxation was maintained at T_4/T_1=25%~50% by adjusting doses of muscle relaxant and aneasthetic. Free-run EMG and Triggered EMG of orbicularis oris, orbicularis oculi, masseter and trapezius were recordered to monitor the function of the facial, trigeminal and accessory nerves, respectively. The function of the facial nerve was evaluated at first week and half year postoperatively according to House-brackmann classification.Results The facial never was successfully identified and mapped by neurominitoring in all 28 patients. successfully, tThe electrical stimulation was 0.1 mA-0.3 mA and no any involuntary body movement was observed in all patients ne of patients have moved during operation. The preservation of the facial nerve function following surgery was good. Five patients had a HB grade I, 13 a HB grade II, 8 a grade III and 2 a HB grade IV The facial nerve function was HB Grade Ⅰin 5 of 28 patients, HB GradeⅡ in 13, HB Grade Ⅲ in 8 and HB Grade Ⅳ in 2 immediately after operation. Six months after surgery, 10 casespatents showed demonstrated a HB GradeⅠof facial never function, 12 cases exhibited a slight palsy (HB Grade II) , and 5 cases exhibited a HB Grade III palsy and . Another 1 cases a exhibited severe palsy (HB Grade IV).Conclusions Facial nerve monitoring in patients under the low level of neuromuscular blockade can ensure the surgical safety and preserve the facial never function.
