Objective To evaluate the morphological and signal intensity changes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction , and to analyze the correlations between MRI evaluation and clinical examination .Methods Totally 34 patients who underwent anterior cruciate liga-ment reconstruction in our hospital from July 2013 to June 2015 were given MRI examination .The morphology ,orientation and signal intensity of the anterior cruciate ligament grafts were evaluated on axial ,sagittal and coronal images .The grafts were assessed with Rak method ,and the clinical assessment was adopted with physical assessment method ,including drawer test ,axial shift test and Lachman test .The correlations be-tween MRI evaluation and clinical examination results were further analyzed by SPSS 16.0.Results After anterior cruciate ligament recon-struction,79%of the graft were visualized as a smoothly continuous low signal (well-defined type),15%of the graft showed increased signal intensity with only a small part of low signal bands ( intermediate type ) ,and 6% of the grafts showed remarkably increased signal intensity (indiscernible type).A statistically significant correlation was identified in MRI evaluation and clinical examination results (P<0.05). Spearman’ s correlation coefficient was 0.747 2 which indicating significantly positive correlation .Conclusion Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive high-resolution imaging technology and it is an effective tool for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction .

AIM To study the effects of dexamethasone on expressing monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP 1 ) mRNA in the rats with pulmonary fibrosis, elaborate the molecular mechanism of dexamethasone (Dxs) in pulmonary fibrosis therapy. METHODS The model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by instilling bleomycin intratracheally. After treating with Dxs ip , the levels of MCP 1 mRNA were determined by RT PCR. The histological changes were observed and the numbers of inflammatory cells were counted in optical microscopy field. RESULTS The accumulation of inflammatory cells decreased markedly, and the symptom of pulmonary fibrosis was alleviated. Furthermore, Dxs evidently inhibited the expression of MCP 1 mRNA in lung tissues with pulmonary fibrosis. CONCLUSION The molecular mechanism of Dxs in pulmonary fibrosis therapy was associated with inhibiting the expression of MCP 1 mRNA.

Objective To determine the effect of age,body figure and risk framing in making treatment decision for female patients with breast cancer.Methods Two groups of healthy female:one group of 60 female ages 18-24 from undergraduate student and the other group of 60 female ages 35-60 from the university community.Healthy women imagined that they had been diagnosed with breast cancer and received information regarding lumpectomy versus mastectomy and recurrence rates.Participants indicated whether they would choose lumpectomy or mastectomy and reasons.Results The different concern levels of body appearance between younger and older women influences treatment selection of lumpectomy versus mastectomy.Facing the risk information,older women were unlikely to select the breast conserving operation.Conclusions The factors of age and the attention to body figure would effect the choice of breast conserving operation or mastectomy.Risk information on the selection of treatment would not affected directly,but the effects of risk information on younger and older female is different.Nurses should provide the age-appropriate information who recently have been diagnosed with breast cancer regarding treatment alternatives to ensure their active participation in the decision-making process,female who have different levels of investment in body figure also may have different concerns about treatment,and should be alert on empathetic of such concerns.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of brainstem auditory evoked potentials(BAEP) and somatic evoked potentials (SEP) with therapeutic outcome of brain stem hemorrhage patients.MethodsBAEP and SEP were detected in the early period of 25 caees with brain stem hemorrhage by evoked potential instrument,and were surveilled dynamically.ResultsThere was good prognosis in the patients whose BAEP and SEP were normal in the first time and repeated detection.Poor prognosis happened in ones whose BAEP and SEP were abnormal in the first time and repeated detection.The difference was significant between them(P＜0.05).ConclusionCombined detection and dynamic surveillance of BAEP and SEP could predict accurately the curative result of patients with brain stem hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate whether miR-200b suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting DNMT3A. Methods A qRT-PCR was employed for detecting the expression of miR-200b in different non-small cell lung cancer cells and human bronchial epithelial cells. A549 cells were transfected with miR-200b mimics, scramble, DNMT3A-siRNA and control-siRNA, respectively. The scramble and control-siRNA were served the negative control of miR-200b mimics and DNMT3A-siRNA, respectively. Western blot assay was conducted to detect the expression of DNMT3A protein in A549 cells. MTT and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining were employed to detect the proliferation ability and apoptosis rate of A549 cells. The effects of miR-200b mimics and DNMT3A-siRNA on the proliferation and apoptosis rate of A549 cells were compared between groups. Results Results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-200b was significantly down-regulated in A549, H1299, L78 and H460 cells than that of 16HBE cells. Among them, the most obviously reduction was found in A549 cells (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that the level of DNMT3A protein was inhibited by restored miR-200b or knock-down DNMT3A in A549 cells. After transfection of miR-200b mimics or knock-down DNMT3A for 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, MTT showed that the OD values, which reflected the optical density of cell proliferation were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Annexin V/propidium iodide staining showed that apoptosis rates of A549 cells after transfection of miR-200b mimics or knock-down DNMT3A were (23.33%±0.90%and 20.41%±0.70%), compared with the control group (5.28%± 0.55%and 5.68%±0.47%, P<0.01). Conclusion miR-200b suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by targeting DNMT3A in non-small cell lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo study the sirolimus (SRL)-associated interstitial pneumonitis,which is a severe side effect of sirolimus therapy. Methods In 7 renal grafts treated with SRL, interstitial pneumonitis (8 times) was diagnosed. One patient suffered a relapse after sirolimus treatment was given again. Two patients received de novo sirolimus treatment, and rest 5 patients were switched from a calcineurin inhibitor-containing regimen to a SRL-based protocol for various indications: chronic allograft nephropathy (n = 4) and cancer (n = 1 ). The patients presented with fever, dyspnea on exertion and the chest X-ray or computed topographic (CT) scan on admission showed bilateral mostly peripheral interstitial infiltrates. ResultsSRL was discontinued in 4 patients and the dose was reduced in the remaining 3 patients. Symptoms were improved within 3-14 days in all patients, the radiographic findings improved within 2-4 weeks, and the lesions were absorbed completely in 2-6 months.ConclusionThe frequency of interstitial pneumonitis appears to be increased in renal transplant patients receiving SRL. Discontinuation or reduced dose of SRL appears to be the safest treatment option for the patients with interstitial pneumonitis.
