In order to measure and analyze three dimensional masticatory muscle force vectors in craniofacial region, the multiresolution method based on wavelet pyramid was used for the fusion of cranio jaw facial CT and MRI image, then these images were visualized. The results showed that the area of physiological cross section (PCS) and the maximum muscle force were different during functioning in the masticatory muscles system. The various masticatory muscle forces or various sides in the same muscle were also different in the three dimensional directions. The results suggested that determination of three dimensional masticatory muscle vectors is feasible by CT and MRI fusion image technology in craniofacial region, and can provide significant results for the basic research in the masticatory muscle system.

Objective To investigate the influence of c-myc on the growth, proliferation, apoptosis,invasion and cell cycle of the gastric line HFE145. Methods The cDNA of c-myc was subcloned into a constitutive vector pcDNA3.1 followed by transfection in HFE145 by using liposome. Then stable expression clones (HFE-myc) were selected. The apoptosis and cell cycles were detected using flow cytometry. The growth and proliferation were analyzed by making cell growth curves and colony formation assay respectively. The ability of invasion were tested using cell migration assay. Results HFE-myc group grew faster than HFE145and HFE-pc. The cell counts of HFE-myc in five of seven days were more than those of others significantly (P＜0.05). There was no difference between the two control group. Cell cycle analysis showed that HFE-myc group proliferated faster, mean proportion of cells in G2-M was about 25 % and higher significantly (P ＜0.05)than those of the two control groups. Results of colony formation assay showed that the mean colony formation rate of HFE-myc was 0.27 and higher than those of the control groups(P ＜0.05). The results of cell migration assay suggested that the cell migration rate of HFE-myc was not higher significantly than those of the control groups (P ＞0.05). Conclusion c-myc can promote the growth, proliferation. It can increase the proportion of cells in division stage, so promote the division. But it have little influence on the invasion of cells.

Objective The purpose of this research is to study the preventive and therapeutic effects of suramin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse model of acute lung injury and its molecular mechanism.Methods A total of 24 healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups: Control group and suramin group.LPS (5 mg/kg, iv) induced acute lung injury model was used in this study.The severity of lung injury was evaluated using haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining after the injection of LPS for 0, 24 and 72 hours.The expression of TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA levels were also detected by RT-PCR.In vitro, THP-1 cells were stimulated by LPS (100 ng/mL) with saline or suramin pre-treatment.The expressions of p-ERK1/2, p-JNK and p-P38 were analyzed by Western blot at 10 min, 20 min and 30 min after LPS insult.A 2-tailed Student's t test was used to compare difference between two independent groups.Results Compared with the saline group, the lung tissues injury were significantly decreased in the suramin group of 72 hours after the injection of LPS (saline 3.90 ±0.35;suramin 2.50 ±0.12) (t =7.668, P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of TNF-α (saline 8.35 ± 1.63;suramin 4.62 ± 0.70) (t =4.187, P＜0.01) andIL-6 (saline10.53 ± 2.10;suramin5.53±1.10) (t=4.224, P＜0.01) mRNA were also obviously reduced in suramin group after the injection of LPS for 24 hours.The expression levels of pERK1/2, p-JNK and p-P38 were obviously down-regulated by suramin at 10 min, 20 min and 30 min after LPS stimulation.Conclusion Suramin protected LPS-induced acute lung injury through down-regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, which was closely relative to the inhibition of the MAPK pathway.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of artificial pneumothorax combined with intercostal nerve block in alleviating chest pain occurring during and after percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for subpleural lung malignancy.Methods A total of 30 patients with subpleural lung malignancy were randomly and equally divided into group A (n=10),group B (n=10) and group C (n=10).The patients in group A received both artificial pneumothorax and intercostal nerve block before MWA.The patients in group B only received artificial pneumothorax before MWA,and the patients in group C only received intercostal nerve block before MWA.The degree of pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score during MWA,immediately after MWA and at 6 h,12 h and 24 h after WMA.The side effects after MWA were recorded.Results During MWA,no statistically significant differences in VAS scores existed between each other among the three groups (P=0.885).The VAS scores determined at 6 h,12 h and 24 h after MWA in group C were significantly increased (P=0.014,P=0.006 and P=0.006 respectively).No patient in group A and group B developed symptoms of chest tightness after artificial pneumothorax was performed.After treatment,a small amount of asymptomatic residual pneumothorax was still observed in 6 patients of group A and group B,which disappeared spontaneously in about one week.Another patient still showed massive pneumothorax even after thoracic gas suction,and the patient recovered after thoracic closed drainage for three days.No other serious complications related to artificial pneumothorax occurred.Conclusion Artificial pneumothorax combined with intercostal nerve block can effectively relieve the chest pain occurring during and after MWA in patients with subpleural lung malignancy,and clinically this technique is quite safe.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:269-273)
