Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(10):-
Objective:To analyse the findings of MRI and CT in the diagnosis of spine metastases in 52 cases,and compare their sensitivity and specificity,in order to increase the early diagnosis rate of spinal metastases.Methods:The most common sources of skeletal metastases were carcinomas of lung,breast,nasopharynx.MRI and CT were performed in 52 patients with metastatic tumor.The detectability for vertebral metastasis was compared between the two modalities.Results:Of the 52 cases,there were destructions of 176 vertebral bodies,76 lesions of spinal canal involvement,68 paravertebral soft tissue.masses and pathological fractures of 47 vertebral bodies.In the cases of stage Ⅰ spinal metastases:21 were detected by MRI and nothing was detected by CT.In the cases of stage Ⅱspinal metastases:86 were detected by MRI;52 were detected by CT.In the cases of stage Ⅲ spinal metastases:68 were detected by MRI;61 were detected by CT.The sensitivity of spinal metastases by MRI(99.4%) higher than CT(64.2%).MRI demonstrated decreased signal intensity(86.9%)and other abnormal signal intensity(13.1%)on T1WI and increased signal intensity(60.8%)and other abnormal signal intensity(39.2%)on T2WI.Conclusion:The sensitivity and specificity of MRI is higher than that of CT.Two methods are complementary to each other,so MRI combined with CT can improve the sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of spinal metastases.
2.64-Slice CT in the evaluation of collateral vessels in portal hypertension
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(03):-
Objective:To evaluate the value of 64-slice CT portal venography(CTPV)in demonstrating portal system and its collaterals in portal hypertension.Methods:50 cases of portal hypertension were included in the study and undergone upper abdomen examination with 64-slice CT,image post-processing techniques such as MIP,MPR and VR were applied to display the portosystemic collaterals of portal venous system.Results:CTPV simultaneously depicted fourth or fifth branches of the intrahepatic portal veins and provided images of entire portosystemic collaterals,on CTPV images,left gastric varices were seen in 48 patients(96%),esophygeal and/or fundic varices in 46(92%),paraesophageal varices in 41(82%),shnrt gatric veins or posterior gastric veins in 19(38%),shunt between spleen/gastric-renal vein in 14(28%),abdominal wall and paraumblical varices in 20(40%),retroperitioneal varices in 19(38%),portal sponge degeneration in 8(16%).Conclusion:CTPV can much more clearly demonstrate the collateral vessels in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.An understanding of the varied appearances of acquired abnormalities of the portal venous system will allow more definitive diagnosis and help avoid false diagnosis of disease,and may play a significant role in marking a clinical treatment plan.
3.Non-coding small RNA and melanoma
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(7):541-543
Non-coding small RNA mainly includes microRNA, small interfering RNA and RNA interacting with PIWI protein.Studies have shown that non-coding small RNA plays an increasingly important role in the epigenetic regulation.Non-coding small RNA is involved in the regulation of gene expression by gene transcription, post-transcription and mRNA translation.Non-coding small RNA is closely related to many human diseases, especially the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of melanoma.
4.Effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(5):676-678
Objective · To test the effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice, according to online social network. Methods · The undergraduate students in a university in East China were taken as the researchobject. Public health psychology experiments were designed, using Stroop priming the extent of ego depletion, and SSEIT measuring the extent of emotional regulation. Results · When participants experienced high level ego depletion, for those who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they were more inclined to select less healthy food(77% vs 18%, χ2=15.40, P=0.000). For those who possessed strong emotional regulation capability, there was no significant difference on food choice between those who experienced high level ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion (40% vs 27%, χ2=0.91, P=0.340).For participants who experienced high level ego depletion, compared to those who overcame ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion, were moreinclined to select less healthy product (69% vs 23%, χ2=11.10, P=0.001), while there was no significant difference between those who experienced low level ego depletion and those who overcame ego depletion (32% vs 23%, χ2=0.51, P=0.470). Conclusion · When students experienced different level ego depletion, they chose different healthy consumption choice because of the different capability of emotional regulation. For students who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they should be encouraged to choice healthy consumption, and interesting show should be organized to bring them positive emotion. They should also be encouraged to do long-term physical training to overcome the sensitivity tofatigue. Finally, They should be informed to realize the healthy consumption by active communication and interaction such as like, share and comment in social media.

6.Neuroprotective Effects of Amiloride
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(6):460-463
Amiloride is an epithelial Na+ channel(EnaC)blocker.As a potassium-sparing diuretic,it has been used in clinical practice for decades of years.Studies have shown that many ion channels were semitive to amiloride in the central nervous system,such as acid-sensitive ion channel(ASIC)and Na+/H+ exchanger.These channels have important physiological functions,and paticipate in pathological processes such as cerebral ischemia and tissue acidosis.It has demonstrated that amailoride reduces the effects of ischemia-and acid-mediated neuronal injury by blocking these channels,which may become a novel neuroprotective agent for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

8.Study on the effect of oxidative stress on intermittent hypoxia induced-hippocampal injury in rats
Journal of Chinese Physician 2010;12(12):1632-1634
Objective To explore the effect of oxidative stress on intermittent hypoxia induced-hip-pocampal injury in rats. Methods 30 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were random divided into three groups ( 10 rats in each group), control group( CON group), intermittent group( IH group), and melatonin group( MEL group). The levels of MDA and SOD were detected by colorimetric method, and RT-PCR was used to examine the mRNA levels of the Cu/ZnSOD, GPx, CAT in hippocampal tissues. Results The level of MDA in IH group was ( 1. 68 ±0. 23) μmol/g, and it was obviously higher than that in control group (1.25±0.14)μmol/g and MEL group(1.35 ±0.18) μmoL/g ( P <0.05, P <0.01). In IH group, the activity of SOD and the mRNA levels of the Cu/ZnSOD,GPx and CAT were 43.01 ±4. 96 103NU/g, 0.25±0. 02,0. 34 ±0. 09,0. 38 ±0. 03 respectively, which were significantly lower than those in control group(61.12 ±5.68 103NU/g protein,0. 48 ±0.06,0. 55±0.07,0.57 ±0.04) and MEL group (55.98 ±4.65 103 NU/g,0.43 ± 0.08,0.54 ± 0.05,0.53 ± 0.07 ) ( P < 0.05, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion Intermittent hypoxia can induce hippocampal injury in rats by oxidative stress, and melatonin can inhibit intermittent hypoxia induced-oxidant stress, so it can protect intermittent hypoxia induced-hippocampal injury in rats.
9.Clinical significance of genetics and epigenetic aberrance in myelodysplastic syndromes
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(05):-
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is one of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells.Cytogenetic,molecular genetic and epigenetic aberrances are critical to diagnosis,prognosis and treatment of MDS.5q-,-7/7q-and 20q-are the most frequent cytogenetic aberrance in MDS.Fusion genes,genetic mutation and deletion are the most important mechanisms for every subtype of MDS.Aberrant methylation plays an essential role in both initial and secondary MDS.All these aberrances are very significant for the development and transformation of MDS.Genetic and epigenetic alterations are new targets for MDS diagnosis and treatment.
