Objective To investigate the CT and MRI features of ovarian fibroma.Methods CT and MRI findings of 42 patients with ovarian fibroma confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Twenty-one patients were examined by CT,26 cases was examined by MRI,and 5 cases were examined by CT and MRI.Results In 42 cases of ovarian fibroma,there were simple type in 29 cases,degenerative type in 11 cases,and special type in 2 cases.All the cases had single lesion,morphology were round or elliptic or lobulated,clear boundary in 40 cases,partial fuzzy boundary in 2 cases,3 cases with calcification,hemorrhage in 1 case.The maximum tumor diameter were 1.4-26.7 cm,median value was 5.5 cm.Simple type of ovarian fibroma were equal density on CT,low signal on T1WI and T2WI.Degeneration type was patchy,fissure,low density areas on CT or high signal on T2WI,and the tumor parenchyma was almost no enhancement or only slight enhancement.A large number of hemorrhages had been found in 1 special type patient,and significantly enhanced in the other special type patient.Special type were misdiagnosed as malignant tumor.Conclusion CT and MRI performance of ovarian fibroma has some characteristics,but diagnosis still need to rely on pathology.

Objective ST-T complex change, which represents the ventricle repolarization phase, is the main clinical indicator in detecting myocardial ischemia (MI) based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals.However, its feature point location is not accurate due to interferences. In this paper, a new approach about myocardial ischemia analysis was proposed based on QRS complex. Methods QRS complex, representing the ventricle depolarization process, was used to analyze myocardial ischemia, and some parameters were extracted synthetically in time domain. Then they were used for statistical analysis of myocardial ischemia states and non-myocardial ischemia states. Results Five parameters had significant differences after verification of Non-MI signals in MIT-BIH database and MI signals in long-term ST database (LTST) and they were: QRS upward and downward slopes, transient heart rate, R angle and Q angle in a triangle QRS. Conclusion Five parameters extracted from QRS complex had significant differences. The proposed method provides an important basis for myocardial ischemia detection.

Objective To provide a basis for humanity education in the university by a survey of clinical graduates' recognition of humanity education and humanity curriculum. Method An anony-mous questionnaire was adopted and 514 questionnaires were distributed to the 2014 clinical gradu-ates in Peking University Health Science Center about their understanding of humanity education and humanity curriculum. The investigation data was double entried in Epidata 3.1, apply SPSS 19.0 to make the descriptive analysis, chi-square test. Results 69.3% (167/241) students believed humanity education enhanced their professionalism and competency;52.7%(127/241) students believed humanity education enhanced their doctor-patient communication; 36.4% (174/478) students believed their hu-manity knowledge came from their instructors' personal example and teaching;31.1%(149/479) students said the best way of humanity education was through social practice;59.7%(286/479) students consid-ered the combination of classroom lecturing and discussion as the best way to humanity education. As to the major weaknesses in humanities education, 46.9%(113/241) students chose insufficient curriculum, 23.2%(56/241) chose lack of practical value and 23.7%(57/241) chose monotonous teaching methods;Conclusion The best approach to humanities teaching is to combine class lecture with class discus-sion. Besides, hidden curriculum also contributes to humanity education. The enhancement of clinical graduates education relies heavily on humanity education and its emphasis should be laid on the training of humanity teachers, the study of humanity curriculum and learning from other universities.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a convenient, economic, and non-invasive detecting tool in myocardial ischemia (MI). Its clinical appearance is mainly exhibited by ST-T complex change. MI events are usually instantaneous and asymptomatic in some cases, which cannot be forecasted to have a precautionary measure in time by doctors. The automatic detection of MI by computer and a cued warning of danger in real time play an important role in diagnosing heart disease. With the help of the medical staff, some quantitative approbatory indicators, such as ST-segment deviation, the amplitude of T-wave peak and the rate of ST and heart rate (HR), were combined to judge MI using fuzzy reasoning. After MIT-BIH database and the long-term ST database (LTST) verification, sensitivity and positive predictive values reached 75% and 78% respectively, and specificity and negative predictive values were 85% and 87% respectively. In addition, the proposed method was close to human way of thinking and understanding, and easy to apply in clinical detection and engineering fields.

ST-segment is the main clinical appearance in myocardial ischemia detection based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. However, it is highly sensitive to interferences (baseline wandering, postural changes, electrode interference, etc.), which cause the feature points of ECG ST-segment to be difficult to detect accurately. Currently, the common detection methods of ST-segment are: R+x and J+x, but they are affected badly by T-wave morphological variability and J point location. For these reasons, firstly we proposed a convenient and accurate approach for T-wave onset in this paper. It did not need to locate T-wave peak and was robust to baseline wandering and T-wave morphology. Secondly, we proposed a squeeze approach for ST-segment detection based on R-wave peak and T-wave onset. After the Long-Term ST database (LTST) verification, the proposed method has shown a good timeliness and robustness, and the accuracy of ST-segment detection has reached above 92%.

The effects of catechin on inflammatory response of BV-2 cells were investigated using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model. BV-2 cells were incubated with LPS (1 mg·L-1) for 12 h in the microglia inflammatory model in vitro. After catechin and LPS co-incubation for 12 h, MTT, ELISA and Western blot were used to detect cell viability, cytokines, cell migration and protein expression. In addition, transwell assay was conducted to investigate the effect of catechin on cell chemokaxis. Catechin did not show any cytotoxicity effect on BV-2 cells, but reversed the change in cell morphology and inhibited the release of TNF-α and IL-1β, cell chemotaxis and phosphorylation of NF-κB/p65. In conclusion, Catechin could inhibit the LPS-induced inflammatory response in BV-2 cells.

Objective To explore the effect of knocking down Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK2) gene on the cognitive function of amyloid precursor protein/presenilin-1 (APP/PS1) double transgenic mice and its mechanism. Methods APP/PS1 double transgenic mice were randomly divided into AD model group (AD group), ROCK2 gene knock-down group (shROCK2 group), ROCK2 gene knock-down control group (shNCgroup), and wild-type C57BL/6 mice of the same age served as the wild-type control (WT group). Morris water maze and Y maze were employed to test the cognitive function of mice. Neuron morphology was detected by Nissl staining. Immunofluorescence histochemical staining was used to detect the expression of phosphorylated dynamin-related protein 1 (p-Drp1) and mitochondrial fusion 1 (Mfn1). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression ROCK2, cleaved-caspase-3 (c-caspase-3), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), Bcl2-related protein X (BAX), p-Drp1, mitochondrial fission 1 (Fis1), optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), Mfn1 and Mfn2. Results Compared with AD group mice, the expression of ROCK2 in shROCK2 group mice was significantly reduced; the cognitive function was significantly improved with the number of neurons in the hippocampal CA3 and DG areas increasing, and nissl bodies were deeply stained; the expression of c-caspase-3 and BAX was decreased, while the expression of Bcl2 was increased; the expression of mitochondrial division related proteins p-Drp1 and Fis1 were decreased, while the expression of mitochondrial fusion-related proteins OPA1, Mfn1 and Mfn2 were increased. Conclusion Knock-down of ROCK2 gene can significantly improve the cognitive function and inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells of APP/PS1 mice. The mechanism may be related to promoting mitochondrial fusion and inhibiting its division.
