Objective To study the alterations in neurobehavior of rats with diffuse axonal injury(DAI) and to evaluate the potential role of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF). Methods A weight-drop device was employed to build the DAI model.An injection of bFGF subdurally and subcortically was given to the bFGF therapeutic group(n=60).Besides,normal control(n=20) and injured control group(n=60) were established.The elevated walkway test,prehensile traction test,sensorimotor integration test and the Morris' water maze test were adopted to examine the motor and memory abilities.After the implantation of skull electrodes,P3-like potential was explored in rats before and after injury. Results After DAI,the scales of the elevated walkway test,prehensile traction test,sensorimotor integration test and the Morris' water maze test were decreased,and the rats in the bFGF therapeutic group presented a better behaviour in the early stage.The latency of P3-like potential prolonged significantly in rats with DAI,with the P3-like potential in the injured control group longer than that in the bFGF therapeutic group(P

Objective To study the alterations in pathology and immunohistochemistry in rats with diffuse axonal injury(DAI) and the effects from basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF). Methods A weight-drop device was employed to produce DAI in rats.In the treatment group(n=60),bFGF was injected subdurally and subcortically.Besides,normal control group(n=20) and injury-control group(n=60) were also established.The pathological changes were observed by light microscopy and electromicroscopy,and the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),growth associated protein-43(GAP-43) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) were also examined by immunohistochemistry. Results Typical pathological changes were observed in the basal portion of pons,corpus callosum and white matter of cerebral hemisphere in the rats with DAI.And an upregulation of GFAP,GAP-43 and BDNF was also found.In the treatment group,better outcomes of pathological changes were observed.bFGF increased the expression of BDNF and GAP-43,while inhibited the immunoreactivity of GFAP. Conclusion Topical application of bFGF can improve brain tissue regeneration and speed function recovery in rats with DAI,though its long-term effect warrants further study.

With the extensive application of informationalized management systems for barcode specimens , the degree of informatization is becoming higher and higher in medical laboratory.Informationalized management combines modern information technology and advanced management concepts , transforms or reengineers the laboratory operation and business process.Test specimen turnaround time ( TAT) is an important factor affecting the quality of the inspection.By analyzing the test process of each time node , establish the suitable specimens monitoring program for clinical requirements and real -time monitor the key nodes in test processes ,which will effectively shorten TAT , improve reporting timeliness rate and avoid clinical complaints.

Objective To evaluate the assistant diagnostic value of low dose CT in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) based on ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) SPECT imaging.Methods One hundred and two patients with clinical suspected PE had been enrolled for this retrospective study.The final diagnosis of PE was made according to the 2008 guidelines of European Society of Cardiology (ESC).All patients underwent V/Q SPECT/CT (Hawkeye 4,GE).The imaging findings from low dose CT lung window were used for differential diagnoses of abnormal regions in SPECT imaging.The diagnostic efficiency of V/Q SPECT alone was compared with that of V/Q SPECT combined with low dose CT scan.Crosstabsx2 test was performed using SPSS 13.0 software.Results Twenty-nine patients (28.43%,29/102) were finally diagnosed as PE.V/Q SPECT alone had a sensitivity of 93.10% (27/29),a specificity of 90.41% (66/73),and an accuracy of 91.18% (93/102).With additional diagnostic information from low dose CT,the diagnostic specificity increased to 95.89% (70/73,X2 =1.72,P > 0.05 ),and the accuracy increased to 95.10% (97/102,x2 =1.23,P > 0.05) though the sensitivity remained the same.Conclusion Imaginginformation from low dose CT in hybrid SPECT/CT may enhance V/Q diagnostic accuracy for PE.

Objective To compare the accuracy of 64-slice spiral coronary angiography (CTA) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in the detection of functionally relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Twenty patients diagnosed as CAD and 11 suspected CAD were studied. Both 64-slice spiral CTA and MPI images were analyzed. For the evaluation of CTA,luminal narrowing ≥50% and <50% were visually assessed. Perfusion defects on MPI were detected and allocated to their corresponding coronary vessels.Results Among total 124 coronary vessels, CTA detected stenoses ≥50% in 23 arteries, and 7 showed perfusion defects in the corresponding myocardial areas on MPI. Ten of 101 vessels had stenoses<50%,and no perfusion defects in the corresponding myocardial areas was found on MPI. There was difference between the degree of coronary artery stenoses and the risk probabilities of myocardial ischemia (χ~2=6.667, P=0.01). No statistical difference was detected between the coronary artery stenoses site and the risk probabilities of myocardial ischemia (χ~2=6.839, P=0.065). The sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values of 64-slice spiral CTA in detecting perfusion defects on MPI was 41.18%, 85.05%, 90.01% and 30.43%, respectively.Conclusion 64-slice spiral CTA can display important morphologic information of coronary arteries, but with a low positive predictive value. MPI can be used as an important method to evaluate the change of heart function resulted from CAD.

Objective:A new algorithm based on Hough transform (HT) was proposed to improve the accuracy and stability of the film image analysis of Automatic Quality Assurance (AQA) test, and to explore the influence of the resolution of film image on the test results.Methods:Nine pairs of films were obtained for AQA modules in this study. Firstly, the median filter was used to preprocess the grayed-out film image to remove noise interference. Then, a global threshold was utilized to binarize the image. The images were edge-detected and the film edge line was extracted by Hough transform. The film image was transformed to the correct position. Finally, the edge of the field shadow circle and the shadow circle of the tungsten ball were extracted by the edge detection method and Hough transform. The radial error was finally obtained by analyzing the concentricity.Results:There was no significant difference in the accuracy between the test results yielded by the HT method and the AQA software ( P>0.05). The difference in the standard deviation of the test results was statistically significant ( P=0.027), indicating that the algorithm increased the stability while ensuring the accuracy of film analysis. Increasing the resolution of film scanning failed to significantly improve the accuracy and stability of film analysis in both two methods. Conclusions:The algorithm used in this study can eliminate the human error caused by film scanning placement while ensuring the accuracy of film analysis, providing a more stable way for the AQA test of the CyberKnife system.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), multipotent stem cells, can replicate as undifferentiated cells and have the potential to differentiate into different lineages of mesenchymal tissues, including bone, cartilage,endothelial, neural, smooth muscle, skeletal myoblasts, and cardiac myocyte cells. The ischemia-induced death of cardiomyocytes results in scar formation and reduced contractility of the ventricle. Several preclinical and clinical studies have supported the notion that MSCs therapy may be used for cardiac regeneration.When transplanted into the infracted heart, MSCs prevent deleterious remodeling and improve recovery, but the mechanism is not clear. In this work,we review evidence and new prospects that support the use of MSCs in cardiomyoplasty.
