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.

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.

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.

Cell biology is a basic medical subject,and one of earliest learned subjects concerning medical science. The teacher's teaching methods will directly influence students' interest and score. In the article we have compared the two teaching methods, the traditional method regarding teachers as dominating part and self-teaching method regarding teachers as subordinate part. The conclusion has showed that the self-teaching method can improve students' score and easily be accepted by students, compared with traditional teaching method. However,it can not be used too frequently.

Objective To analyze the clinical data,radiological and pathological features of breast cancer which were understated by image,and summarize the causes.Methods The clinical features,radiological features and pathological data of 26 cases of breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed.The preoperative ultrasound and mammography BI-RADS grades of these 26 cases were both ≤ 3,and they were confirmed to be breast cancer by pathology.The clinical and pathological data of 1224 cases of breast cancer in the same period were compared.Results For the 26 cases,100％ were early breast cancer,100％ were HER2 negative breast cancer,and only 1 case had lymph node metastasis.26％ were special type of breast cancer.Mammography showed glandular multi type,and ultrasound showed atypical or typical benign features.Conclusions Breast cancer understated by image shows features of young age,early stage,well differentiated,low malignant degree,not easy to be visualized by mammography,and their ultrasound features are usually atypical.In clinical setting,analysis of the ultrasound and mammography images should be combined with other examination,to decrease misdiagnosis rate.

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.

The erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (ECR1) activity and CR1 quantitative genotype distribution were studied and the mechanisms of decreased ECR1 activity in cerebral infarction revealed. By using red blood cell yeast rosette test ECR1 activities were measured and by using PCR-RFLP CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism detected in the patients with cerebral infarction and healthy controls. The results showed that the level of C3bRR was decreased and the level of CICRR increased in the patients with cerebral infarction as compared with healthy controls (both P<0.05). CR1 quantitative genotype distribution in the patients with cerebral infarction was differed significantly from that of healthy controls (P<0.05). It was concluded that the decrease of ECR1 activity in the patients with cerebral infarction was correlated with CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism.

BRAF gene has the highest mutation rate and plays an important role in the occurrence,development,invasion and metastasis of melanoma.The frequency of the mutation varies in different clinical phenotypes,clinical pathology classifications and stages of malignant melanoma,which indicate a certain association of BRAF gene with the growth and prognosis judgment in malignant melanoma.BRAF gene mutation is the new direction of treatment in malignant melanoma molecular target therapy.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of NF-κB and VEGF and the biological behaviors of prostatic carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to examine the expression of NF-κB and VEGF in 40 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 53 cases of prostatic carcinoma.Results The positive rates of NF-κB and VEGF in prostatic carcinoma and BPH were 64.2％ and 69.8％,12.5％ and 37.5％ respectively.There are more cases with positive NF-κB and VEGF expression in prostatic carcinoma group than in the BPH group( x2 =24.976,9.655,P ＜ 0.01 ).The expression of VEGF and NF-κB in prostatic carcinomas increased significantly with the decrease of tumor differentiation and advance of the TNM stages(x2 =15.936,18.459;4.316,14.205,P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05);The expression of VEGF in prostatic carcinoma was positively correlated with NF-κB ( r =0.297,P =0.027 ).Conclusion The expression of VEGF and NF-κB in prostatic carcinoma are highly correlated with each other and may be suggestive to understand the biological behavior of prostatic carcinoma.
