Objective to investigate therapeutic methods and effect of X-knife for on intracranial diseases. Method Recent effect of 44pqtients with cranial diseases by X-knife was observed. Radiological follow-up was performed on 40 cases with mean 5.65 months of followup time. Result 92.5% of tumors were controlled locally, stability and recovery rate was 90.0%. The local control of metastatic tumors of brain was higher, but most patients with metastatic tumors died of primary lesion. New metastatic lesions appeared in patients without panencephalic radiotherapy in 1～5months. Tumors of pineal region were sensitive to X-knife. Conclusion X-knife has a definite effect on intracranial diseases. For patients with tumors of pineal region complicated by serious hydrocephalus, shunting should be conducted before X-knife treatment. For patients with mild or morderate hydrocephalus, X-knife chould be utilized only under correct interventions such as dehydration. The local control rate of intracranial metastatic tumors was high, but survival time postoperation depended on panencephalic radiotherapy or control of primafry lision. For tumors with diameter＞ 3cm, pituitary tumors, brains stem tumors and tumors in cerebellopontine angle region repeated X-knife were suggested, which could improve cure rate and decrease complications.

Objective To establish a mouse model of lymph node metastasis of breast cancer cells by luciferase imaging assay,to monitor early process of lymph node metastasis,and to evaluate the effect of X-ray radiation therapy on tumor.Methods The mouse mammary cancer cell line 4T1-Luc expressing luciferase was inoculated subcutaneously into the paw pad of nude mice to establish a model of subcutaneous lymph node metastasis.The lymph node metastasis in nude mice was continuously observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging system,and the nude mice with early lymph node metastasis of breast cancer cells were divided into control group and treatment group randomly.The radiotherapy effect was observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging system and evaluated by the pathological changes of HE staining of tumor tissue.Results A mouse lymph node metastasis model of breast cancer cells was successfully established,and the volume of primary tumor in paw correlated with the fluorescence photon number positively (r =0.958,P ＜ 0.001).On the twenty-fourth day after inoculation,the fluorescence photon number in pad tumor and popliteal fossa tumor of treatment group were significantly decreased in comparison with the control group (t =32.58,P ＜ 0.05),and the inhibition ratio of radiotherapy on tumor growth approached to 85 ％.HE staining showed that the apoptosis and necrosis in irradiated tumor was obviously higher than that in control group.Conclusions Bioluminescence imaging technique can be used to evaluate the effect of X-ray on breast cancer suppression and lymph node metastasis in mice.

In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics parameters of SPIO-shRNA dual functional molecular probe and observed the main organ distribution by MRI in vivo. Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups and injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe, respectively. The blood samples were collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters by measuring the iron content at 30 minutes before and after the injection. Twenty-four Kun Ming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group was injected intravenously with physiological saline 200 µL per mouse via the tail vein, the other 3 groups were injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe. MRI observation was performed in 24 hours, and the liver, spleen, kidney, brain and muscle were collected for iron quantification with Prussian blue staining to determine distribution of the SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in the main organ in vivo. Our results suggest that the molecular probe blood half-life is more than 3 hours. The data of MRI suggest the probe was distributed in liver and spleen, and the MRI signal was reduced with the increase in probe's doses (P < 0.05). The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the results of MRI. Most of the probe could escape the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system. Our data provide the pharmacokinetic and distribution of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in organs. Meanwhile, it suggests the choice of the time and dose of probe for MR imaging of tumor in vivo.

Objective To investigate the value of muhiple inflammatory cells and clinical score in early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of trauma sepsis risks.Methods This retrospective control study enrolled 209 severe trauma patients admitted from January 2010 and May 2016.White blood cell count,lymphocyte count and percentage,monocyte count and percentage,neutrophil count and percentage,ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte count (N/L),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score,sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA),improved early warning score (MEWS),Glasgow coma score (GCS),multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) score and lactic acid (LAC) were collected on the day of admission and 3,5,7 days after trauma.These data were applied to construct weighted and biological score models for early diagnosis and prognosis of traumatic sepsis.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was performed and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to measure the value of the two models in early diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.Results AUC of the weighted model combined by APACHE Ⅱ score,SOFA score and MEWS was 0.729 on the day of admission.AUC of the weighted model combined by inflammatory cells was 0.680 and AUC of the biological score model was 0.800 3 days after trauma (P ＜ 0.05).AUC of the weighted models combined by inflammatory cells was 0.798 and AUC of the biological score model was 0.812 5 days after trauma (P ＜ 0.05).AUC of the weighted models combined by inflammatory cells was 0.706 and AUC of the biological score model was 0.713 7 days after trauma (P ＞ 0.05).AUC of the biological score model had significant difference 3 days and 5 days after trauma (P ＜ 0.05).Of the weighted model combined by APACHE Ⅱ score,MODS score,GCS and LAC to evaluate the prognosis of sepsis,the AUC showed significant difference on the day of admission (0.838),3 days after trauma (0.878),5 days after trauma (0.947) and 7 days after trauma (0.936) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Biological score possesses better effect on early diagnosis of sepsis 3 days after trauma.Weighted model combined by APACHE Ⅱ score,MODS score,GCS and LAC can effectively predict the prognosis of sepsis 5 days after trauma.

OBJECTIVE: Structural equation modeling was used to explore the relationship between mental health and social psychological factors. METHODS: Using multi-stage sampling method,1 200 first-line production workers working in enterprises were chosen as study subjects. Chinese version of the WHO-5 well-being Index,and Social Psychological Factors Questionnaire(a self-designed questionnaire based on job demands control model) were used to investigate the mental health and social psychological factors. The structural equation modeling of social psychological factors on mental health was constructed. RESULTS: Among the 1 200 workers,about 34. 8% workers had poor psychological well-being(the score of the WHO-5 well-being Index is equal or less than 13). Job demands and job autonomy were available and have direct effect on work-related pressure [standardized path coefficient(β) were 0. 162 and-0. 186,P < 0. 05]. Job demands,job autonomy and work-related pressure were available have direct effect on mental health(β were-0. 136,0. 235 and-0. 135,P < 0. 05). Job demands can have an indirect effect on mental health through work-related pressure(β =-0. 022,P < 0. 05),and job autonomy can have an indirect effect on mental health through work-related pressure(β = 0. 025,P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The results of mental health and social psychological factors are consistent with the job demand control model. Job demands and work-related pressure are risk factors and job autonomy is a protective factor for mental health. Mental health intervention should be taken according to the related factors.
