Objective To explore the exercise induced immunity changes during incremental load training from the view of the expression of helper T cells (Th) mRNA. Methods Using the technique of real-time quantified PCR to observe T-helper-special cytokine mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cell dynamically in healthy young male who have been trained with incremental exercise for five weeks. Results There was no obvious change in IL-2 mRNA during five weeks training. Meanwhile IL-4 mRNA increased greatly in the second, third and fourth week. IFN-? mRNA as well as IFN-? mRNA/IL-4 mRNA increased remarkably in the third, fourth and fifth week . Conclusion The expression of T-helper1/ T-helper2 cytokine mRNA were up-regulated after five weeks and the subjects were gradually adapt to the increased load which indicated the enhancement of immunity function .

In order to investigate the protective effect of hypoxic preconditioning on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by using immunohistochemical staining after 3 h cerebral ischemia followed by 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h reperfusion respectively in rats treated with or without hypoxic preconditioning before cerebral ischemia. In addition,the apoptosis of neural cells and the behavioral scores for neurological functions recovery were evaluated by TUNEL staining and "crawvling method", respectively. Compared with control group (cerebral ischemia-reperfusion without hypoxic preconditioning), the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly increased, but that of Bax decreased in the hypoxic preconditioning group (cerebral ischemiareperfusion with hypoxic preconditioning), both P＜0. 05. The pre-treatment with hypoxic preconditioning could reduce the apoptosis of neural cells and promote the neurological function recovery as compared to control group. It was suggested that hypoxic preconditioning may have protective effects on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting the apoptosis of neural cells, increase the expression of Bcl-2 and decrease the expression of Bax.

Objective:To investigate the value of ADC map-based radiomics model for identifying the ischemic penumbra (IP) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:From January 2014 to October 2019, data of 241 patients with AIS involving the anterior cerebral circulation within 24 h after stroke onset in the First People′s Hospital of Nantong City was analyzed retrospectively. All patients received routine T 1WI, T 2WI, DWI and dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion weighted imaging (DSC-PWI). Considering the PWI-DWI mismatch model as the gold standard for determining IP, patients were divided into the PWI-DWI mismatch (84 cases) and PWI-DWI non-mismatch (157 cases) groups. The ROI of the low signal area and the surrounding area was drawn by two doctors at the maximum level of the lesions on the ADC maps. Then the images were imported into AK analysis software to extract the features. Firstly, the inter-class correlation coefficient was used to screen out the features with high consistency, then the maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression analysis were used to screen the features. The selected features were used to construct their own radiomics model. ROC curve was used to evaluate the performance of the models, and Delong test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC) of the two models. Results:After screening, 12 features (LongRunLowGreyLevelEmphasis_angle135_offset7, LongRunLowGreyLevelEmphasis_AllDirection_offset7, GLCMEntropy_AllDirection_offset4_SD, GLCMEnergy_angle45_offset1, ColGE_W11B25_16, ColGE_W11B25_24, HaraEntropy, SurfaceVolumeRatio, Sphericity, Quantile0.025, uniformity and Percentile75) were used to construct the radiomics model based on the low signal area of the ADC map. The area under the ROC curve in the training set was 0.900, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 84.5%, 81.4% and 83.4%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve in the validation set was 0.870, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 80.9%, 84.0% and 81.9%, respectively. Eleven features(RunLengthNonuniformity_AllDirection_offset1_SD, ShortRunLowGreyLevelEmphasis_angle45_offset1, HighGreyLevelRunEmphasis_AllDirection_offset1_SD, ShortRunLowGreyLevelEmphasis_AllDirection_offset7, HaralickCorrelation_AllDirection_offset4_SD, ClusterShade_angle45_offset7, InverseDifferenceMoment_AllDirection_offset7_SD, ColGE_W3B20_0, sumAverage, SurfaceVolumeRatio and VolumeMM) were used to construct the radiomics model based on the surrounding area of ADC map. The area under ROC curve in training set was 0.820, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 80.5%, 80.2% and 80.4%, respectively; the area under ROC curve in validation set was 0.800, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 78.7%, 80.0% and 79.2%, respectively. The AUC of the radiomics model based on the low signal area of the ADC map was larger than that based on the surrounding area of the ADC map (training set: Z=3.017, P=0.003; validation set: Z=0.604, P=0.002). Conclusion:The radiomics model based on ADC map has a good diagnostic efficacyin identifying the IP.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinicopathologic characteristics of cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN) and to evaluate the usefulness of EnVision immunohistochemistry of various markers in identifying early invasive cervical adenocarcinoma (ICA) and its precursor lesions.

METHODSClinical and pathological characteristics of 80 cases of high grade CGIN (HCGIN), 20 ICA, and 20 cervicitis were reviewed along with immunohistochemical studies of p16, Ki-67, CEA, CA125 and bcl-2.

RESULTSThe clinical features of HCGIN were similar to those of high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Fourty four cases (55.0%) accompanied with CIN and 9 cases (11.3%) accompanied with early cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The positive rates of p16, CEA and Ki-67 in 80 cases of HCGIN were 100.0%, 63.8% and 73.8%, respectively. The positive rates of p16, CEA and Ki-67 in 20 ICA were 18/20, 16/20 and 20/20, respectively. The positive rates of p16, CEA and Ki-67 in 20 cervicitis were 1/20, 1/20 and 3/20, respectively. There was a significantly increased expression of p16, CEA and Ki-67 in ICA and HCGIN compared with cervicitis (P < 0.01). Ki-67 expression increased in ICA compared to HCGIN (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in CEA expression between ICA and HCGIN (P > 0.05). CA125 showed strong but nonspecific expression. Bcl-2 was negative or occasionally positive in each groups.

CONCLUSIONSHCGIN is frequently accompanied with CIN and SCC. The combined staining of p16, CEA and Ki-67 provides additional aid in the diagnosis of early stage cervical adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesions. The sensitivity of p16 and Ki-67 markers for HCGIN is higher than that of CEA. CA125 and bcl-2 immunostains offer no helpful in identifying HCGIN.
