Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome(PSIS) is a rare disease characterized by different degrees of anterior pituitary hormone deficiency.The typical imaging finding is a thin or absent pituitary stalk,often associated with an ectopic posterior pituitary and a hypoplastic anterior pituitary.The cause is still unkown.Dynamic contrastenhanced MRI helps to confirm the diagnosis.Replacement of multiple anterior pituitary hormones is the key of the treatment.Doctors should have a thorough understanding of the disease and give patients efficacious treatment and a better prognosis would be obtained.

Objective To understand the clinical profiles of arthritis after human parvovirus B19(B19) infection.Methods Four cases were described and the clinical and laboratory characteristics were analyzed. Results The median onset age of the 4 patients(2 females and 2 males)was 34 years old.Typical clinical manifestations included joint symptoms,flu-like malaise and erythematous rash.Anti-Bl9 IgM antibodies were all positive in 4 patients.B19 DNA was detected in blood samples of 3.Other types of arthritis were excluded. No relapses were noticed after followed-up of 1～3 years.Conclusion The Anti-B19 lgM and B19 DNA should be detected in patients suffer from arthritis with unknown origin.

Objective To observe the effect of rosiglitazone on the concentration of interlukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 in lung tissues of diabetic rats.Methods The experimental diabetic rats were yielded by injecting streptozotocin(STZ) and feeding with high fat and high glucose food.We observed lung morphology in control group,diabetes mellitus(DM) group,and rosiglitazone group at 10 week and 20 week respectively under light microscope.Alteration of IL-6 and IL-10 in lung was measured by immunohistochemistry.Results The optical density values of IL-6 in the control group,the DM group and the roggerosiglitazone treatment group were 0.15 ±0.01,0.16 ±0.01;0.22 ±0.02,0.31 ±0.04;0.22 ±0.03,and 0.20 ±0.02 at 10 week and 20 week respectively (Fwithin =216.89,P ＜ 0.01 ; Fbetween =342.62,P ＜ 0.01 ; Finteraction =341.51,P ＜ 0.01).Any two groups had significant difference(P ＜ 0.05) except the comparison of the IL-6 values at 10 week and 20 week in the control group (P ＞ 0.05).The absorbance values of IL-10 in the three groups were 0.13 ± 0.01,0.15 ±0.02;0.20 ±0.01,0.21 ±0.01;0.20 ±0.02,and 0.17 ±0.01 at 10 week and 20 week respectively (Fwithin =14.612,P ＜0.01 ;Fbetween =909.19,P ＜0.01 ;Finteraction =210.55,P ＜0.01).Any two groups had significant difference(P ＜0.05) except the comparison of the IL-6 values at 10 week and 20 week in the control group.Conclusion The elevated levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in lung tissue of dibtetic rats might be related to the inflammation of lung tissues.Rosiglitazone may alleviate lung inflammation by regulating the levels of IL-6 and IL-10.

Objective To investigate the specific anti-tumor immune response induced by dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with total RNA of human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells.Methods DCs were isolated and cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from six patients with pancreatic cancer.Total RNA of Capan-2 cells and MUC4 mRNA were transfected into DCs by electroporation.The survival rate of transfected DCs was determined by MTT method and the expression of MUC4 mRNA in DCs was detected by Western blotting.The activity of cytotoxic T lymphocyte cells (CTLs) induced by DCs transfected with total RNA of Capan-2 cells were evaluated by IFN-γ ELISA and the induction of specific CTL response to the killing effect on pancreatic cancer cell in vitro were measured by 51 Cr standard cytotoxicity test.Results The survival rate of DCs transfected with total RNA of Capan-2 cells (DC-Capan-2-total RNA) showed a decrease in a time dependent manner and the survival rate was reduced to 60.81％ after transfection for 96 h.The survival rate of MUC4 mRNA transfection DCs (DC-MUC4 mRNA) was stable at around 80％.The difference of DCs surviral rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The amount of MUC4 protein expression of DC-Capan-2-total RNA was significantly lower than that of DC-MUC4 mRNA (P ＜0.05).The quantity of CTL IFN-γ release induced by DC-Capan-2-total RNA was (89.34 ± 3.85)U/mL and the quantity of DC-MUC4 mRNA induced CTL IFN-γ release was (21.77 ± 21.77)U/ml There was statistically significant between the two groups (P ＜0.05).In addition,the specific CTLs induced by DC-Capan-2-total RNA could effectively identify and kill the HLA-A2+/MUC4+ Capan-2 and the HLA-A2+/MUC4-PANC 1 cells,and could not effectively identify and kill the HLA-A2 /MUC4-MiaPaCa-2 cells and the HLA-A2-/MUC4 + AsPC-1 cells.Conclusions A more pronounced CTL anti-tumor immune response can be induced by DCs transfected with total RNA of Capan-2 cells compared with a single tumor associated antigen,but it is limited by MHC class Ⅰ antigen presented.

Objective To evaluate the significance of weight-bearing lateral radiographs in evaluation of malunited frac-tures of the ankle. Methods 17 patients with malunited fractures of the ankle were treated by different reconstructive operations be-tween March 2010 and October 2012, including 9 females and 8 males, aged from 17 to 64 years. According to the Takakura classifi-cation of ankle arthritis, there were 7 patients in grade 1, 4 in grade 2 and 6 in grade 3. Simple open reduction and internal fixation were performed in 5 patients, supramalleolar tibial osteotomy in 5, lengthening osteotomy of the fibula in 2, supramalleolar tibial and fibular osteotomy in 5. Tibiofibular clear space on the anteroposterior radiograph. Medial clear space, tibiofibular clear space and tib-iofibular overlap on ankle mortise radiographs were compared preoperatively and at last follow-up. Tibial lateral surface angle (TLS), the offset of the center of talar rotation from the tibial axis, and the displacement of tibiotalar articular surface center on weight-bear-ing lateral X-ray were also compared preoperatively and at last follow-up. AOFAS score was used to evaluate the function of the ankle. Results The duration of follow-up was 9 to 32 months. Bone healing was observed in all patients, and the average healing time was 11 to 14 weeks. Ankle joint degeneration grade had no exacerbation. The medial clear space, tibiofibular clear space and tibiofibular overlap had no significant difference between the pre and postoperative. Statistically significant change was seen postoperatively in the values of TLS (76.9°±4.1° vs 80.9°±5.2°). The offset of the center of rotation from the tibial axis and the displacement of tibiotalar articular surface center were changed from 10.8 ± 2.1 mm to 2.0 ± 0.5 mm and 4.5 ± 1.5 mm to 2.2 ± 1.0 mm, respectively. The average AOFAS score was improved from 45.7 ± 15.9 points preoperatively to 82.0 ± 9.9 points postoperatively. Conclusion Weight-bearing lateral radiographs can be used to judge the ankle restoration. Even if the mortise radiograph had relative good realignment, it may ap-pear obvious deformity on lateral radiographs. Good reduction of lateral radiographs requires that the mid axis of the tibia should pass through the center of talar rotation and tibiotalar articular surface be parallel on the lateral radiograph.

Objective To determine the effect of the combined use of urokinase and glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa-targeted microbubbles prepared by direct conjugation method to dissolve the thromb in vivo and analyse the velocity tracing change of blood flow and explore the possible mechanism. Methods A total of 42 rabbits with platelet-rich thrombi in the femoral artery were randomized into 7 treatment groups ( n = 6 in each group): 1) ultrasound alone (US); 2) ultrasound plus non-targeted microbubbles ( US + M); 3) urokinase alone (UK) ;4) ultrasound, non-targeted microbubble and urokinase (US + M + UK); 5) ultrasound plus platelet-targeted microbubble ( US + R); 6) platelet-targeted microbubble plus urokinase (R + UK); 7)ultrasound, platelet-targeted microbubble and urokinase (US + R + UK). A total of 6 ml of infusion liquor of Urokinase,RGDS and microbubbles (SonoVue) were mixed by 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 1 ratio by the direct conjugation method, infusion via vein within 20 min. Ultrasound was conducted to lyse the clot for 30 min. The recanalization and the velocity tracing change of blood flow in thrombolytic process were evaluated at 120 min post treatment. Results For US, UK, US + M, US + R and US + M + UK groups, recanalization was failed. The R + UK and US + R + UK was recanalizated ( P ＜0.001 ). The blood flow velocity tracing was small and low width in US,UK, US + M, US + R and US + M + UK groups. The wave was high width and disorderly under the thrombolysis therapy in the R + UK and US + R + UK. The thrombolytic effect was demonstrated by the high-width and disorderly resonance changes in the blood flow spectrum during the thrombolytic therapy of US + R + UK. Conclusions The blood flow spectrum of groups had different characteristics in vivo when thrombus was issolved,ultrasonic resonance might be the possible mechanism.

Objective To investigate the value of ultrasonography in evaluating the femoral artery thrombosis in rabbit. Methods Thrombosis was induced by external application with 10% ferric chloride and transient femoral artery-occlusion with bulldog clamp in twenty New-Zealand rabbits. The thrombosis was monitored by both Doppler flowmeter and ultrasonography. The histopathological result was used as the golden standard. The consistency of the above two results with the golden standard was analyzed. Results Thirty-two femoral arteries thrombosis were produced successfully. There was high consistency between the results of ultrasonic evaluation and histopathological examination (Kappa = 0. 720, P ＜ 0. 001 ), and moderate consistency between the results of Doppler flowmeter evaluation and histopathological examination (Kappa = 0. 546, P ＜0. 001 ). Within the thirty-two femoral arteries thrombosis, there were nineteen arteries with occlusive thrombus examined by histopathological means. Both the results of Doppler flowmeter and ultrasonography were highly consistent with the results of histopathological examination (Kappa = 0. 800 and 0.798 respectively, P ＜ 0. 001 ). Conclusions There is high consistency between the results of ultrasonic evaluation and histopathological examination for the common femoral artery thrombosis in rabbit.In the non-occlusive thrombus diagnosing,ultrasonography is better than Doppler flowmeter.
