Chronic exposure to risk factors at the beginning stage of atherosclerosis development can damage endotheli?um and ultimately initiat endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the major mechanisms in atherosclerosis development. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a lipoprotein with complicated function and is composed of a variety of pro?teins and lipids. Epidemiological studies showed an inverse correlation between HDL and atherosclerosis. The protective role of HDL on endothelium might related to its function in reversing cholesterol transport, reducing peripheral cholesterol accu?mulation, preventing foam cells formation, dilating vessels, antioxidant and anti-inflammation, all of which antagonize devel?opment of atherosclerosis. But HDL obtained from patients with cardiovascular disease which has known dysfunctional HDL may induce endothelial dysfunction. This review addresses the relationships between functional HDL or dysfunctional HDL with the endothelial function.

Objective:To study the bone-conductivity and absorbability of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen(nHAC) composite implanted under the calvarial periosteum in rabbits.Methods:24 nHAC samples and 24 HA samples were prepaired in the shape of round disk with the diameter of 8 mm and thickness of 3 mm.nHAC samples were implanted under calvarial periosteum on the left side and HA samples on the right of 24 rabbits.The bone-conductivity and absorbability of the samples were examined by new bone height measuring and residual implant materia measuring 2,4,8 and 12 weeks after operation. Results:2,4,8 and 12 weeks after implantation new bone height(mm) in nHAC group was 0.54?0.09,0.72?0.12,1.83?0.14 and 2.63?0.07,that in HA group 0.13?0.11,0.31?0.12,1.23?0.05 and 1.75?0.14,respectively(P

Objective To explore the chnical manifestation,pathological features and characteristics of lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH),so as to raise awareness.Methods Sixty-nine cases of LCH were studied by routine histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations.Results The age range of the 69 patients including 34 males and 35 females with LCH was 4-80 years,with an average age of 42 years.The lesions of 50 cases were located in head and neck region,and the other 19 cases were in other parts of the body,with 1 case in the left main bronchus and intracalvarium.The average diameter of the tumors was about 1 cm,and parts of the tumors showed polypoid masses.Most of the tumors were in the skin and mucosa.Granulomatous lesions showed the proliferation of thin-walled and thick-walled capillaries in a lobular pattern.The vascular interstitium was edematous and was infiltrated by the inflammatory cells.Immunohistochemical examination showed CD34 positive in the endothelial cells and smooth muscle actin positive in the peri-vascular spindle cells.Conclusions Studies of LCH show the obvious features on age,gender and diseased location,and very few have a relapse.Its pathogenesis is still unclear.LCH is rarely found in the trachea,and is more rarely in the central nervous system.So far,there is no case report to show LCH occurs both in the bronchus and intracalvarium.In the special case,the early lesion is found in the left main bronchus.Although the patient is treated,LCH still recurs for many times in a short period.Finally the tumor is also found in the intracalvarium.Therefore,it's critical to alert whether LCH also occurs in the important organs at the early stage.Complete surgical resection and / or adjuvant radiotherapy can avoid delaying the treatment and the subsequent serious outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) in glioma. Methods:12-LOX expression in 40 glioma cases and 10 normal human-brain tissues was assayed by immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathological data were analyzed to reveal the association between 12-LOX expression and prognosis of glioma patients. Results:12-LOX was weak-ly expressed in the normal human brain tissues, whereas 12-LOX was strongly expressed (72.5%) in glioma tissues (P<0.05). The strong 12-LOX expression was correlated with the histopathological grading of glioma (P=0.012), whereas 12-LOX expression was not correlated with factors such as patient gender and age, tumor size, and Karnofsky Performance Score. Median survival time was longer in the group with low 12-LOX expression (25.6 months) than in the group with high 12-LOX expression (13.2 months) (P<0.05). Con-clusion:Abnormal 12-LOX expression is implicated in glioma. 12-LOX expression was correlated with the histopathological grading of glioma and was closely associated with patient prognosis.

Objective Toinvestigatetheapplicativevalueof3D-DSAandheadMRIorCTfusion technology for guiding the individualized treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM ). Methods Twenty-onepatientswithAVMdiagnosedwithDSAattheDepartmentofNeurosurgery,Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from January 2015 to May 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients performed DSA,MRI,and CT scan respectively before procedure,and they also performed 3 D-DSA and MRI or CT fusion. Of the 21 patients,15 performed MRI and 3D-DSA fusion,6 performed CT and 3D-DSA fusion. According to the image fusion results of the patients,the individualized treatment regimens were further developed,including microsurgical resection,endovascular embolization,and stereotactic radiotherapy (alone or combined treatment). The patients were followed up and observed for 2 to 6 months after procedure.Results Fromthe3D-DSAwithheadMRIorCTfusionimagesofthepatientsbeforetheprocedure not only could observe the vascular architecture of AVM,the relationship between the niduses and the surrounding nerve structures,but also could precisely locate the positions of AVM with small aneurysms or tiny AVMs. According to the results of image fusion,17 patients with AVM were treated with microsurgical resection,2 were treated with interventional embolization and stereotactic radiotherapy,and 2 were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy only. Of the 17 patients with AVM underwent microsurgical resection, none experienced intracranial rebleeding during the follow-up period. The last Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)score was 5 in 13 cases,and 4 in 4 cases. One patient with AVM underwent combined stereotactic radiotherapy had intracranial rebleeding during the follow-up period,and their last GOS score was 4. The other remaining 3 patients did not have new neurological deficits or rebleeding during the follow-up period,and theirGOSscorewas5.Conclusions 3D-DSA,headMRI,andCTfusiontechnologyarenovel, the operative method is simple,and the fusion image is accurate. They can effectively develop the individualized treatment regimens for patients with AVM.
