Objective To explore the protective effects on radiation injury of guinea pigs 'cochlea by sul-fotanshinoneⅡA sodium injection. Methods 20 guinea pigs(40 ears)were randomly divided into control group , radiotherapy(RT)group,radiotherapy and drug(RT+D)group and drug(D)group. The guinea pigs in the RT+D group and the D group were injected intraperitoneally with tanshinone on 2 days before the irradiation and last-ed for 7 days,while the guinea pigs in the control group and the RT group were injected intrapertoneally with equal amount of physiological saline at the same time. All the guinea pigs underwent audiologic test with DPOAE and ABR at different time points before and after the irradiation,which were d0,d7 and d8w. All pigs were sacrificed after the completion of the audiologic experimental and for histologic observation. Results After the irradiation, the DPOAE amplitudes of the guinea pigs in both RT group(F=1134.064,P<0.001)and RT+D group(F=664.185,P < 0.001)decreased significantly,but the range in the RT + D group was lower than in the RT group (P<0.001). The ABR threshold of the guinea pigs raised significantly in the RT group(F=12.228,P=0.002 <0.05),but not in the RT+D group(F=2.867,P=0.102>0.05). Histological examination showed that the dam-age degree of hair cells,stria vascularis and the spiral ganglion cells in the organ of Corti of the guinea pigs were lower than in the RT + D group,but higher in the RT group. Conclusion Sulfotanshinone ⅡA sodium injection can provide protection against radiation injury of guinea cochlea.

Objective:To explore the development path of improving the intangible assets management, and promoting science and technology transfer of public hospitals.Methods:Analyze and summarize problems and challenges in the identification and disposal of intangible assets related to scientific and technological achievements in the process of technology transfer based on policy research, literature review and practical experience reflection.Results:So far, the identification and measurement norms of intangible assets are not operable enough. Assets evaluation remains controversial and nonstandard.Conclusions:It is recommended to improve the management systems of science and technology transfer and related financial affairs including strengthening the awareness of intangible assets protection, standardizing the management system of intangible assets and optimizing the informatization construction of financial management.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application value of MR amide proton transfer weighted imaging (APTWI) in predicting the pathological grade of brainstem glioma (BSG).Methods:The data of 41 BSG patients in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2019 to June 2020 who underwent both MRI and APTWI 2 weeks before surgery and had pathological grading results were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological results, 41 patients were classified into high-grade BSG (20 patients) and low-grade BSG (21 patients). Combined with conventional MR images, the signal intensity (%) of amide proton transfer (APT) in the parenchymal area of the tumor was obtained on APTWI images. χ 2 test or independent sample t-test was used to analyze the differences in gender distribution, age and APT signal intensity between patients with high and low grade BSG. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to predict the efficacy of APT signal intensity in the differential diagnosis of high and low grade BSG, and Youden index was calculated to obtain the optimal diagnostic threshold; the predictive ability of APT signal intensity was analyzed in combination with Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test. Results:There was no significant difference in age [(23±18) years, (20±17) years, t=0.97, P=0.340] and gender distribution (9/11, 9/12 for males/females, χ 2=0.02, P=0.890) between high-grade and low-grade BSG patients. The APT signal intensity of high-grade BSG [(3.9±0.9)%] was significantly higher than that of low-grade BSG [(2.8±0.9)%], and the difference had statistical significance ( t=4.16, P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve of APT signal intensity to distinguish high-grade and low grade BSG was 0.836, and with 2.85% as the optimal diagnostic threshold of APT signal intensity, its sensitivity for the diagnosis of high-grade BSG was 90.0% and specificity was 71.4%. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that APTWI had a good predictive ability for BSG grade (χ 2=13.33, P=0.101). Conclusion:APTWI can be applied in distinguishing high grade BSG from low grade BSG, and has clinical value in predicting glioma grading.
