Objective To evaluate dopamine D2/D3 receptors status in striatal and extra?striatal re?gions with 18 F?Fallypride PET/CT. Methods A total of 11 healthy volunteers ( 4 males, 7 females, age (43.5±13.7) years) underwent PET/CT at 1 h after 18F?Fallypride injection. Imaging data was analyzed u?sing visual and ROI methods. The SUV ratios of different brain regions to cerebellar lobe were calculated. In?formed consent was obtained from all volunteers. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the PLA General Hospital. Results 18 F?Fallypride was widely distributed in striatal and extra?striatal brain re?gions. Distribution of 18 F?Fallypride was consistent in all healthy subjects and the rank order of receptor con?centration(brain region SUV/cerebellum SUV) was putamen(15.72±3.69)>pituitary(10.24±6.55)>cau?date(8.38±1.26)>amygdala(6.92±1.32)>thalamus(4.87±1.50)>colliculi(3.91±1.08)>substantia nigra (3.20±0.95)>cortex(temporal cortex: 2.11±1.34, parietal cortex: 1.51±0.57, occipital cortex: 1.31± 0?11, frontal cortex:1?30±0.25). Conclusion 18F?Fallypride PET/CT is suitable to study D2/D3 recep?tors status in striatal and extra?striatal brain regions.

Objective To report our surgical experience in treating 19 cases of solitary iliac aneurysms (SIA). Methods The clinical data of 19 consecutive patients with SIA between January 1985 and January 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 18 men and 1 woman, aging from 39 to 77 years ( mean 62 ± 7 years). Results There were 30 SIAs in the 19 patients, including 25 ( 83.3% ) common iliac aneurysms, 4 (13.3%) internal ihac aneurysms and 1 (3. 3% ) external iliac aneurysm. Eleven patients ( 57.9% ) had multiple ancurysms, with 9 patients ( 47.4% ) having bilateral SIA. Two patients had coexistent peripheral vascular occlusive disease. There were 2 patients suffering form ruptured SIA, one was saved by emergency operation and one died before an surgery could be attempted. Seventeen patients underwent successful open aneurysmectomy and artificial graft implantation leaving no ischemic complications of the pelvic organs. One patient with right common iliac aneurysm underwent endovascular repair without endoleak. There was no operative death during porioperative period. The surviving patients remained stable and had good patency of grafts during the follow-up period. Conclusions Early management of SIA is important, CT angiogarphy (CTA) is necessary not only to evaluate the SIAs, but also to detect multiple aneurysms or arterial occlusive disease. Close and long-term follow-up is mandatory for the early detection of the formation of new anearysms.

Objective To evaluate risk factors of the prognosis in acute arterial embolism of the upper extremities. Methods The clinical data of 62 consecutive patients admired in our hospital with the diagnosis of acute arterial embolism in the upper extremities, from July 1988 to January 2008, were retrospectively reviewed. The risk factors including age, gender, cardiac function, location of embolism, embolectomy and duration of iaehemia were analyzed by cumulative Loots regression. Results There were 62 patients, 33 men and 29 worsen, with a mean age of 63. 5 years (35～86 years). Among them, 37 patients received Fogarty embolectomy and 25 patients received medical treatment including thrombolysis, anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy because of poor risk for surgery. The iachemic status meliorated in 55 patients (88.7%) with 2 patients receiving amputation and 2 patients dying during the peri-operative period. The result of cursulative Logits regression shewed that the duration of ischemia, cardiac function and embolectomy played the significant role on the prognosis (P < 0.01 ), but age, sex and the location of embolism did not show the significant role. In those only receiving the medical treatment, 23 patients restored blood flow to different degree. Conclusions Embolectomy with Fogarty catheter within 8 hours of onset was the most effective treatment for acute arterial embolism in the upper extremities. For peor-risk patients, early medical treatment including thrombolysis, antieoagulation and antiplatelet treatment, can also restore the blood flow in the isehemie limbs.

[Summary]_ Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus is a kind of rare special types of diabetes. It should be distinguished from type 1 diabetes. Genetic analysis can be used to define the subtype of neonatal diabetes mellitus, which helps us to select the most appropriate treatment and to predict the disease recurrence. Sulfonylureas is able to improve insulin secretion in most patients with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus and provide effective glycemic control. A case of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus is reported in order to call attention to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Objective To review the clinical and histopathological features,management and outcomes in 67 patients with seba- ceous carcinoma of the eyelid.Design Retrospective case series.Participants Sixty-seven cases of the sebaceous gland carcinoma were retrieved from the ophthalmology archives of Tongren Hospital between 1996 and 2005.Methods Clinical data of all patients were re- viewed from the charts.Pathology specimens were reviewed in all cases.Main Outcome Measure Presenting features,sites of origin, location,differentiation,management,histopathologic findings,and incidence of recurrence in 67 patients.Results A total of 36 female and 31 male patients were identified.The mean age at diagnosis was 59 years (range from 35 to 84).Initial clinical diagnoses elsewhere were sebaceous carcinoma (43.28%),chalazion (25.37%),basal cell carcinoma(7.46%).Initial histopathologic diagnoses were sebaceous carcinoma(79.10%),basal cell carcinoma(5.97%),squamous cell carcinoma(1.49%) and other or not available(4.48%).The initial treat- ment involved excisional techniques with reconstruction in 42 cases,anti-inflammatory in 12 cases,without any treatment in 10 cases. 61.19% cases presented the pagetoid invasion.Local recurrence developed in 58.21% and two died from metastatic sebaceous carcino- ma (8.70%).Regional lymph node excision was performed in 13.04% because of local metastases.Five year survival rate was 94.87%. Conclusions About 1/3 cases had not receive the right treatment at initial diagnosis eyelid.The recurrence rate of patients was still high.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of hearing loss after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods A total of 60 healthy male adult SD rats were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups, ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) group and sham operated control, with 30 rats in each group.The rats in I/R group were operated for suture-occluded method to establish middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model, with ischemia for 60 mins followed by reperfusion for 24 hrs.The control group was only to be isolated cervical vessels, with no thread embolism inserted.The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was tested before operation and at 24 hrs post-operation respectively.At 24 hrs post-operation, we scored neurological functions, measured the changes of water content in the brain using the dry-wet weight method, and determined the infarct volume through TTC method.We also evaluated the integrity of blood-brain barrier(BBB) by viewing the exudation of Evans blue and observed the apoptosis of neurocyte by TUNEL method to conclude apoptotic index(AI).The expression of MMP-9,Claudin-5,Occludin and CX-43 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the sham group,the neurological function scores,the infarct volume and water content of the brain increased, with the elevated thresholds of ABR significantly and AI went up in I/R group.The expression levels of MMP-9 and CX-43 were significantly up-regulated,but the expressions of Claudin-5 and Occludin were obviously down-regulated.All of the differences above had statistical significances.Conclusion The mechanism of hearing loss after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats is possibly related to MMPs activation,neurocyte apoptosis,BBB breakage and gap junction damage.

BACKGROUND:Cel cryopreservation is required for clinical use of stem cel s, and the current process of cryopreservation however may be harmful to cel viability, pluripotency and differentiation capacity.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of fructose and dithiothreitol on pluripotency and osteogenesis of cryopreserved bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from the bone marrow of Sprague-Dawley rats and pretreated with fructose (200μmol/L), dithiothreitol (500μmol/L) or combined components before cryopreservation. Then the cel s were cryopreseved for 6 months and the morphology of cel s was observed by inverted microscopy. The cel viability was evaluated by MTT, and real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Nanog, OCT4 and Sox2. Alkaline phophatase activity assay and alizarin red staining were utilized to detect the osteogenic capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Images captured by inverted microscopy showed no significant difference in cel morphology between groups. The MTT results indicated that fructose and combined pretreatment could promote the cel viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s after cryopreservation, while the real-time PCR results demonstrated that dithiothreitol significantly facilitated the expression of Naogo and Sox2 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Moreover, ALP activity assay and alizarin red staining confirmed the positive effects of fructose, dithiothreitol and combined pretreatment on osteogenic capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s after cryopreservation, and the best effects were found after pretreatment with dithiothreitol and combined components. Overal , these findings indicate that fructose pretreatment is beneficial for cel viability of cryopreseved bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, and dithiothreitol contributes to maintaining the pluripotency and osteogenesis capacity of cryopreseved bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
