Objective To explore MR imaging features of synovial chondromatosis,and evaluate the diagnostic value of MR imaging.Methods The imaging data of 16 cases with pathologically confirmed synovial chondromatosis were analyzed retrospectively,who underwent the preoperative X-ray plain film and MR plain-scan and enhanced-scan.Two cases of should joint,4 cases of hip joint,8 cases of knee joint(ten joints),2 cases of ankle joint.Results Eleven cases (13 joints) were truly diagnosed according to X-ray plain film,the typical features of synovial chondromatosis were hyperdense free bodies in the joint space and adjacent soft tissue,which showed the concentric lamina sign.Fourteen cases (16 joints) were truly diagnosed according to MR imaging,which clearly showed thickened synovium with significant enhancement,multiple intraarticular cartilage or bony nodules with the surface enhanced,and some nodules connected with thickening synovial membrane,joint effusion and joint degeneration.MR could display the synovial abnormalities that could not be displayed in X-ray plain film,which was helpful to distinguish the characteristics of free bodies in joint,and superior to X-ray plain fdm in showing the lesions in detail.Conclusion MR could clearly show the synovial abnormalities and free body in the joints,which has important value for the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis,determination of the extent of lesions and the characteristics of free body.

Objective To investigate the effect of swimming exercise on insulin sensitivity and interleukin-1 beta(IL-1β)mRNA expression in muscle tissue of insulin-resistant (IR) rats induced by high-fat diet.Methods The IR rat model was induced by high-fat diet feeding for 10 weeks and assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique (HEC). The rats were divided into the fllowing three groups: normal group without exercise, IR groups with and without swimming exercise. After 4 weeks swimming excersie, insulin sensitivity and serum IL-1β levels were measured.Results Glucose infusion rate (GIR) of the IR rats was significantly elevated than that of non-exercise IR rats (P<0.01). Moreover, serum IL-1β levels were reduced markedly in IR rats (P<0.01). Conclusion High-fat diet feeding can partly reverse IR of rats to normal value. Swimming exercise improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the levels of IL-1β in IR rats induced by high-fat diet.

High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance rat model was assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Compared with the control group,the vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue was significantly decreased in insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat diet( P<0.05 ),which was increased by metformin( P<0.05 ).These data indicate that metformin may ameliorate insulin resistance in rats via upregulating vaspin mRNA expression.

Objective To analyse the relationship and mechanism between chronic periodontitis (CP) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) by establishing animal model of chronic periodontitis and IgA nephropathy in SD rats.Methods Eighty health male SD rats were divided into four groups,control group (A,n=20),IgAN group (B,n=20),CP group (C,n=20),CP accompanied with IgAN group (D,n=20).CP model was established by ligating silk suture and besmeared pathogenic bacterium in rats dental cervix.Experimental IgAN model was established by lavage of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).Ten rats were sacrificed in every group at the end of week 8 and 12.The blood,urine,kidney tissue samples were examined.The observation index included proteinuria,kidney and liver function,renal tissue pathology and periodontal tissue pathology.The data were statistically analysed.Results Animal models were established successfully.The levels of Scr and BUN in group A,B,C were not obvious difference,but that in group D was higher than the other third groups at 8 weeks (P < 0.05).The levels of Scr and BUN in group D and group B were significantly higher than that in group A,meanwhile that in group D was significantly higher than that in group B at 12 weeks(P < 0.05).The levels of 24 h urine protein in B,C,D groups were higher than that in group A at 8 weeks(P < 0.05),but at 12 week,that in group D was higher than that in group B and C (P < 0.05).At 8 weeks,glomeruli had little mesangial broadening and renal interstitium had mild hyperplasia of fibrous tissue in group B and D,and that in the group D significantly was heavier than that in group B.The focal varying degrees were glomerular mesangial proliferation hardening,glomerular mesangial broadening,focal segmental sclerosis,and diffuse or focal inflammatory cell infiltration in D group at the end of week 12.The score of PAS between group A and group C had no statistical significance.The scores of PAS in group B and D were higher than that in group A (P < 0.01),and that in group D was higher than that in group B (P < 0.01).Obvious inflammation of periodontal tissue was observed in group C and D,and modified sulcus bleeding index (MBI) were higher than that in group A and B,and MBI in group D was significantly higher than that in group C (P < 0.01).Conclusions The model can be used to research the change of biochemistry and pathology and observe the relationship between chronic periodontitis and IgAN.This study shows that there is relationship between chronic periodontitis and IgAN.Chronic periodontitis maybe make more serious pathology damage in kidney by inflammation mechanism.

This study was aimed to observe the effect ofZi-Bu Pi-Yin Recipe (ZBPYR) on the mRNA expressions of NMDA receptor subunits NR1, NR2A, NR2B in different brain regions of spleen-yin deficiency Alzheimer's Disease (AD) model rats. The levels of NR1, NR2A, NR2B mRNA expressions were detected by using RT-PCR method. The results showed that the levels of NR1, NR2A, NR2B mRNA expressions of AD group and spleen-yin deficiency AD group decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The levels of NR1, NR2A, NR2B mRNA expressions of ZBPYR treatment group increased significantly (P < 0.05). It was concluded that the expression levels of NMDAR mRNA in different brain regions of the ZBPYR treatment group increased significantly, which indicated that ZBPYR may up-regulate the protein expressions of NMDAR by increasing the expression levels of NMDAR mRNA, thereby to play the anti-dementia effect.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in elderly population in order to direct the early diagnosis and prevention of arteriosclerosis in the elderly.Methods A total of 927 cases of elderly residents were randomly selected from 19 villages in Shengze area,Jiangsu Province.The indexes such as age,gender,height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference and blood pressure were collected through standardized questionnaire and physical examination.The biochemical indicators including serum bilirubin,creatinine,uric acid,fasting blood glucose and blood lipids were measured,and baPWV was tested by automatic arteriosclerosis measurement system.Results The differences in age,systolic blood pressure,heart rate,serum bilirubin,creatinine,uric acid,triglycerides levels and baPWV were statistically significant between the male and female (all P<0.05).BaPWV rised with the increase of age.Overall,baPWV was faster in the female than in male (P<0.01).Blood pressure (r=0.36,0.59,P<0.001),age (r=0.26,0.30,P<0.001) and heart rate (r=0.30,0.33,P< 0.001) were correlated with baPWV,while uric acid had a correlation with baPWV (r=0.12,0.21,P<0.01).A correlation was found between total cholesterol and baPWV (r=0.09,0.11,P<0.05) Multi-variable linear stepwise regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure,heart rate and age were the influencing factors for baPWV,of which systolic blood pressure had the greatest influence on baPWV (β>0.5,P<0.001).Conclusions With the increase of age,the baPWV shows rising trend.The monitor of baPWV may be useful in the elderly,especially in females.Blood pressure control,especially the control of systolic blood pressure can slow the progression of atherosclerosis.
