Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of thrombolytic drug infusion via carotid artery on experimental central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and observe the changes of fibrinolytic activity in the systemic circulation. Methods To dissolve the thrombi in 15 cats (30 eyes) with CRAO established by laser irradiating a branch of central retinal artery after intravenous injection of photochemical drugs, urokinase (UK) was directly infused via carotid artery in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group A or intravenously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group B, and isotonic saline solution was intravenously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group C respectively. The patency of the artery was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography. Moreover, the changes of fibrinolitic activity in the blood were observed by blood biochemical examination. Results Four hours after UK infusion, the complete repatency proportion was 80% (5 cats 8 eys) in group A, and 50% (4 cats 5 eyes) in group B. There was significant difference between the two groups. Besides, after the infusion, the indexes of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and anti-fibrinolysis in group A were better than those in group B and C (P

Objective To study the preventive effect and mechanism of aesculin on intestinal mucosa in rats with experimental ulcerative colitis (UC) . Methods Forty specific-pathogen free SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, salicylazosulfapyridine (SASP, 600 mg/kg) group and aesculin (EH, 100 mg/kg) group, 10 in each group. Rats in model group, SASP group and EH group were given enema with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ( TNBS, 100 mg/kg) for the establishment of UC model. The rats in SASP group and EH group were given gastric gavage of SASP and aesculin respectively. At the end of experiment, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 10 ( IL-10) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The general state, histological features of intestinal mucosa and serum TNF-αand IL-10 levels of rats in each group were compared. Results Aesculin significantly improved the general state and relieved the inflammation of the colonic mucosa of UC rats. The disease activity index ( DAI) scores and tissue damage index (TDI) scores in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group ( P<0.01) . The DAI scores and TDI scores in the medication groups were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01) . The serum TNF-αlevel was significantly higher and IL-10 level was significantly lower in the model group than the normal group ( P<0.01) . After treatment, TNF-α was decreased and IL-10 was increased in SASP group and EH group as compared with the model group (P<0.01) . Conclusion Aesculin has certain therapeutic effect on TNBS-induced UC in rats through significantly relieving the symptoms of UC rats. The mechanism may be related with the inhibition of TNF-α secretion and the increase of IL-10 expression, and then improving the disorder of intestinal immune function.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of texture analysis derived from conventional MR imaging in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. Methods Thirty-six patients with malignant breast lesion and 33 patients with benign breast lesion were retrospectively analyzed in our study. All patients underwent conventional MR imaging including axial T1WI, T2WI, and contrast-enhanced T1WI before surgery. Texture features were calculated from manually drawn ROIs by using MaZda software. The feature selection methods included mutual information (MI), Fishers coefficient, classification error probability combined with average correlation coefficients (POE + ACC) and the combination of the above three methods(FPM). These methods were used to identify the most significant texture features in discriminating benign breast lesion from malignant breast lesion. The statistical methods including raw data analysis (RDA), principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA) were used to distinguish malignant breast lesion from benign breast lesion. The results were shown by misclassification rate. Results In the three kinds of sequences, the texture features for differentiating malignant breast lesion and benign breast lesion were mainly from T2WI which had the lowest misclassification rate 4.35%(3/69). The misclassification rates of the feature selection methods were similar in MI, Fisher coefficient and POE+ACC (15.94%to 56.52%for MI;17.39%to 56.52%for Fisher coefficient and 17.39%to 56.52%for POE+ACC). However, the misclassification rate of the combination of the three methods (4.35%to 53.62%for FPM) was lower than that of any other kind of method. In the statistical methods, NDA (4.35% to 27.54%) had lower misclassification rate than RDA (33.33% to 56.52%), PCA (33.33% to 53.62%) and LDA (15.94% to 44.93%). Conclusion Texture analysis of conventional MR imaging can provide reliably objective basis for differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.

Objective To compare the efficacy and complications between transurethral resec-tion of the prostate(TURP) and transurethral vaporization-resection of the prostate (TUVRP). Methods 637 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)were divided into 2 groups, 298 cases un-derwent TURP and 339 underwent TUVRP. The maximal flow rates (Qmax) were (9.8±2.3)ml/s, (10.1±2.1) ml/s, the international prostatic symptom scores (IPSS) were 15.3±3.1,15.1±3.7 re-spectively. The surgical outcomes and the complications of the 2 groups were analyzed. Results For the TURP group and TUVRP group, the postoperative Qmax were (19.0±2.9)ml/s and (18.0±2.3) ml/s, both significantly higher than those of preoperation(P<0.01). There was no significant differ-ence between the 2 groups(P0.05). For the TURP group, the mean operation time was (52±16) rain, visual hematuria lasting for (9.0±2.3) d, secondary bleeding in 6 cases (2.0%), lower urinary tract infection in 14 cases(4.7%), 1 month after operation lower urinary tract symptom(LUTS) in 26 case(8.7%), IPSS was 5.0±1.4, contemporary incontinence in 6 cases(2.0%), memberanous sticture 4 cases(1.3%). For the TUVRP group, the mean operation time was (68%19)min, visual hematuria lasting for (12.0±3.6) d, secondary bleeding in 19 cases (5.6%), lower urinary tract infection in 38 cases(11.2%) ,1 month after operation LUTS in 59 cases(17.4%) ,IPSS was 8.0±1.6,contemporary incontinence in 13 cases(3.8%), memberanous stieture in 16 cases (4.7%). There were significant differences between the 2 groups. For the TURP group, blood loss during operation was (126±29) ml, resected tissue weighed (31±8)g, pre- and post-operative serum natium consentration balance was (8±6)mmol/L,TURS developed in 3 cases(1%). For the TUVRP group, blood loss during opera-tion was (122±38)ml, resected tissue weighed (33±9)g,pre- and post-operative serum natium con-sentration balance was (7±7) mmol/L, TURS developed in 2 cases(0.6%). There was no significant differences(P0.05). Conclusions TURP and TUVRP have similar efficacy treating symptomatic BPH. The incidences of complications of TUVRP are slightly higher than those of TURP.

Objective To study the changing of vertebral body marrow fat fraction(FF) in different age and sex and the relation-ship between FF and bone mineral densities (BMD). Methods Eighty-five healthy volunteers aged from 21 to 70 years old and twenty patients with osteoporosis based on T score after dual X-ray absorptionmetry examination underwent proton magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy (MRS) in L_3 vertebral bodies. The volunteers were divided into five groups according to the age(10 years and 16～18 cases in each group). Results The FF values in 21～30 years group,31～40 years group,41～50 years group,51～60 years group , >60 years group and the osteoporotic group were 30.7%±4.4%, 35.5%±6.8% , 41.9%±6.6%, 46.8%±5.5%, 51.7%±5.2% and 59.2%±7.4%, respectively. The FF values in L_3 vertebral bone marrow in men were high than that in women in the same age group (P<0.05) except >60 years group. There was negative correlation between marrow fat content and T score in osteoporotic group(γ=-0.6, P<0.01). Conclusion The vertebral marrow fat content in healthy adults was significantly in-creased with the aging. MRS may be used as a new way to evaluate the physiological and pathological process of bone marrow.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction ( BYHWD) on PC12 cell apoptosis induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation ( OGD) and to screen out the main ingredients of BYHWD on protecting PC12 cell from injury induced by OGD. Methods Seven herbs of BYHWD were selected as the influencing factors, and they were Radix Astragali, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, the carda part of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Pheretima Asiatica, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Semen Persicae, and Flos carthami. Two levels were designed for each factor, and the experiment was arranged according to L8 ( 27) orthogonal test table. Apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by OGD was detected by serum pharmacology method and flow cytometry techniques. With apoptotic rate as the evaluation index, visual analysis and variance analysis were used for the comparison of apoptosis of PC12 cells in the blank control group ( oxygen + sugary medium + blank serum) , model group (oxygen-glucose-free medium + blank serum) and drug groups (oxygen-glucose-free medium +serum containing BYHWD or the separate recipe of BYHWD ) . Results Compared with the blank control group, apoptotic rate was increased in PC12 cells of the model group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Compared with the model group, the apoptotic rate was decreased in BYHWD group, and the differences was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The results of orthogonal analysis showed that Semen Persicae, Flos carthami and Radix Paeoniae Rubra were the main active ingredients of BYHWD on depressing apoptosis of PC12 cell induced by OGD ( P<0.01). The apoptotic rate of serum containing the prescription with Radix Paeoniae Rubra was lower than that of the prescription without Radix Paeoniae Rubra. Conclusion BYHWD could inhibit OGD-induced PC12 cell apoptosis, and Radix Paeoniae Rubra is the main active herb on depressing apoptosis in BYHWD.
