Objective To study the application of the linear sampling method(LSM) in 2D electromagnetic inverse scattering imaging and to mainly discuss the imaging quality of LSM with partial-view data.Methods Get the norm of solution vector to the equivalent integral equation using numerical calculation in every sampling point at imaging region,and represent the norm with gray to reconstruct the scattering shape.Results Under all incident angles [0,360?] and all observation angles [0,360?],the imaging quality of the far-field pattern of scattering wave was obtained very well.But when reducing the range of the incident angles and observation angles,the imaging quality declined.Particularly,the imaging quality in the case of both incident angles and observation angles being at the same side of the observed object,were much better than both in opposite sides.Furthermore,the profile of the object was imaged more clearly as its position corresponding to the orientation of the incident/observation angle.Conclusion Although the imaging quality will decline with partial-view data in electromagnetic inverse scattering,the effectiveness of imaging with LSM still deserves attention.

Objective To investigate the influences in perioperative variations in serum levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to observe the differences in postoperative recovery of liver function between the antiviral treatment group and the non-antiviral treatment group of patients.Methods From Feb.2012 to Nov.2012,55 patients whose preoperative serum levels of HBV DNA were below the recommended level of antiviral treatment were included into the study.The serum levels of HBV DNA,IL-6,IL-10 and IL-27 preoperatively and on postoperative day 3 were measured.Using the postoperative serum levels of HBV DNA,the patients were divided into 2 groups:the high level group and low level group.Patients in the high level group received antiviral treatment,but the low level group did not.The changes in preoperative and postoperative liver function and other data of the patients were recorded and analyzed by the SPSS 13.0 software.Results (1) The reactivation rate of serum HBV DNA in the HBsAg-positive HCC patients was 45% (25/55).In patients with a preoperative HBV DNA level < 1 × 104 IU/ml the postoperative HBV reactivation rate was up to 76% (19/25).(2) Logistic regression analysis showed tumor diameter (P=0.037,0.006) and injecting anhydrous alcohol into the resection margin (P=0.004) were independent risk factors of postoperative HBV reactivation.(3) Postoperative serum IL-10 elevation was associated with HBV reactivation (P=0.001).On the contrary,serum IL-6 level elevation was associated with HBV reactivation (P<0.01).(4) When compared with the low level group,postoperative serum alanine aminotransferase,total bilirubin and albumin in the high level group showed no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusions Hepatectomy could reactivate HBV replication during the perioperative period.A close monitoring of HBV DNA during the perioperative period was necessary,especially in patients with low HBV DNA levels.The tumor diameter and injecting anhydrous alcohol into the resection margin were independent risk factors of postoperative increase in HBV DNA.Changes in serum IL-10 and IL-6 levels after hepatic resection might be related to the elevation of HBV DNA level.In addition,reactivation of HBV did not aggravate damages in postoperative liver function.Antiviral treatment did not promote recovery of liver function in the early stage.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the expression of acetylated histone H3 (Ac-H3) and deacetylase silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in dorsal root ganglions in a rat model of negative phenotype neuropathic pain.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =24 each):sham operation group (group S) and C-fiber dysfunction group (group CFD).The rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 3 ml/kg.C-fiber dysfunction was induced by exposing sciatic nerve to 8% capsaicin for 30 min in group CFD.The thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) and mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) were measured before and on 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD.Six rats were then sacrificed at each time and the lumbar segments (L5) of the dorsal root ganglions were removed for detection of SIRT1 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR) and Ac-H3 and SIRT1 protein expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group S,TWL was significantly increased at 1,3,7 and 14 days after CFD,SIRT1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated and Ac-H3 expression was down-regulated at 3,7 and 14 days after CFD (P < 0.05),while no significant change was found in MWT at each time point in group CFD (P > 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of negative phenotype neuropathic pain is related to up-regulation of deacetylase SIRT1 expression and decreased acetylation of histone H3 in rat dorsal root ganglions.

BACKGROUND:The interaction of neural network and motor function in post-stroke brain tissue remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To observe neural network impairment fol owing subacute stroke by using diffusion tensor imaging, and to investigate the relationship with neurological defects and motor dysfunction.
METHODS:A total of 19 patients after subactue stroke and 20 healthy adults were examined with diffusion tensor imaging. The fol owing parameters were compared:fractional anisotropy, apparent diffusion coefficient, asymmetry indices of fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient. The neurological defect and motor function were evaluated with the corresponding scales. The 10-meter walking speed was measured. The correlation of diffusion tensor imaging parameters with the scale scores and 10-meter walking speed was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The stroke group exhibited reduced fractional anisotropy value asymmetry and fractional anisotropy value in bilateral posterior limbs of the internal capsule. Apparent diffusion coefficient value asymmetry and apparent diffusion coefficient value in the posterior limb of the internal capsule were lower than control unaffected side (P<0.05). Apparent diffusion coefficient value and apparent diffusion coefficient value asymmetry in posterior limb of the internal capsule showed a strong negative correlation with Fugl-Meyer assessment scores of the lower extremities (P<0.05). Diffusion tensor imaging parameters is closely linked with motor dysfunction of the lower extremities in subacute stroke patients. Local stroke lesion-caused neurological defect is the leading cause of motor dysfunction of the lower extremities.
