Objective To explore the inchoate changes in patients with Graves disease (GD) treated with 131I and appraise the therapeutic effect. Methods According to the thyroid size, patients’ age, thyroid 131I intake rate and course of the disease, 303 patients with GD were given individual 131I doses. Six months later, the symptom, signs, and thyroid hormone levels of every case were compared with those recorded before. Results The symptom and the level of thyroid hormones were significantly meliorated after 131I treatment. Six cases became goggle-eyed after treatment. Among the 303 patients, 249(82.18%) fully recovered, 21 (6.93%) partially remitted, 24(7.92%) developed hypothyroidism, and 9(2.97%) showed ineffective. Conclusion 131I treatment for GD with an individual dose can exert a satisfied therapeutic efficacy. It may as serve the first choice for GD treatment.

Objective To evaluate the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),vescular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and survivin in developing colorectal cancer,and the association among them.Methods The protein expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and survivin were detected in specimens obtained from 69 patients with colorectal cancer and 20 normal controls by immunohistochemistry.The correlations of HIF-1α,VEGF and survivin with clinicopathologic features were analyzed.Results The expression of HIF-1α,VEGF and survivin proteins in patients with colorectal cancer were 56.52%,66.67% and 46.38%,respectively,and little expressed in normal controls(P＜0.01).The expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and survivin were closely related to the differential grade of adenocarcinoma,he in volvment of penetration,lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage(P＜0.05).In addition,HIF-1α protein expression had positive correlations with both VEGF and survivin(P＜0.05),and the expression ofVEGF also had positive correlation with survivin(P＜0.05).Conclusions HIF-1α may involve in thepathogenesis of colorectal cancer through up regulating the expressions of VEGF and survivin,which mayhave synergetic effects in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the accurate and individual treatment of temporomandibular joint(TMJ) injury based on 3D digital technology.

METHODSMaxillo-mandibular model was made using rapid prototyping technology based on the pre-operation 3D CT results. According to the 3D digital measurement results, TMJ concepts were ordered and the prosthesis was used to simulate the replacement surgery on the model. Then the joint replacement surgery was performed afterward.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CMS50F for screening in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Sixty-four volunteers with suspected OSAHS underwent simultaneous noc?turnal polysomnography (PSG), micromovement sensitive mattress sleep monitoring system(MSMSMS)and CMS50F. The ap?nea-hypopnea index (AHI) detected by PSG and MSMSMS was used as the diagnostic standard for OSAHS. The reliability of CMS50F for monitoring sleep was assessed. Results There was no statistic difference in CMS50F-ODI3 and PSG-AHI be?tween normal, mild and moderate OSAHS groups(P>0.05). The CMS50F-ODI3 was smaller than the PSG-AHI in severe OSAHS patients(P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between CMS50F-ODI3 and PSG-AHI(r=0.855, P < 0.05). PSG-AHI≥5 events per hour was used as the threshold value to diagnose OSAHS, the sensitivity and specificity of CMS50F were 94.5%and 88.9%. There were no significant differences in CMS50F-ODI3 and MSMSMS-AHI between normal, mild and moderate OSAHS patients(P>0.05). The value of CMS50F-ODI3 was smaller than MSMSMS-AHI in severe OSAHS patients (P < 0.05). There was also a significant correlation between CMS50F- ODI3 and MSMSMS-AHI (r=0.867,P <0.05). MSMSMS-AHI≥5 events per hour was used as the threshold value to diagnose OSAHS, the sensitivity and specificity of CMS50F were 94.5%and 88.9%. Conclusion CMS50F can be used as a portable and reliable device for screening of pa?tients suspected OSAHS.

The self-renewal and differentiation of adult stem cells are closely related to their niches. Naturally, spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the only adult stem cells in the body, which can transfer genetic information into the offspring. An insight into the modulation of the self-renewal and differentiation of SSCs can help elucidate the mechanisms of spermatogenesis and investigate the proliferation and differentiation of other adult stem cells. Therefore, the SSC system provides an ideal model for researches on the adult stem cell niche. More and more evidence indicates that the self-renewal and differentiation of SSCs are regulated by their niches. Based on our previous work and other related findings recently reported, this article presents an overview on the biological properties of SSC niches and their relationship with the self-renewal and differentiation of SSCs, focusing on the basic properties and components of SSC niches and various regulatory factors they produce.
