Objective To investigate and analyze the imaging performance of SPECT and X-ray in fibrous dysplasia of bone (FDB). MethodsSPECT and X-ray were performed in 35 cases of FDB proven pathologically during the period of 1999-2009. A retrospective study method was used to analyze the imaging results.ResultsTwenty-eight of 35 cases had lesions localized in only one bone (monostotic), 7 cases had them in many bones (polyostotic). Monostotic most occurred in bones of limbs, Polyostotic more involved in the unilateral limb. X-rays: Ground-glass-like changes in 22 cases,cystic swelling in 12 cases, loofah-like changes in one case. SPECT: Bone lesions showed localized increased radionuclide uptake. ConclusionManifestations of FDB are various. The conventional imaging is lack of specific performance. The imaging examination should be referred each other and selected reasonably for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective; To investigate the immunolocalization and significance of Notch-2 expression in the process of dental pulp repair after injury. Methods: An experimental animal model of injury-induced pulpitis was established to observe the time-sequenced alteration of the expression of Notch-2. Results: Three days post-operation, weak positive staining of Notch-2 was observed in pulp mesenchyme cells and pulp fibroblasts but not in vascular endothelial cells or odontoblasts. Five days post-operation, strong Notch-2 reactivity was found in subodontoblasts as well as newly bom capillary endothelial cells. Seven days after cavity preparation, Notch-2 staining became weaker in pulp mesenchyme cells and capillary endothelial cells, but stronger positive staining was found in odontoblasts. Two weeks post-operation, weak Notch-2 staining was seen in pulp mesenchyme cells and subodontoblastic layer cells and was absent from odontoblasts. Notch-2 immunoreactivity was completely absent in intact rat dental pulp. Conclusion: Notch-2 is strikingly up-regulated in dental pulp mesenchyme cells in the early days after dental injury and then shows progressively up-regulation in odontoblasts. Properly regulated activation of Notch signaling pathway is important for controlling cell fate and maintaining the correct balance among cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis during dental pulp repair process.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of arthroscopic debridement combined with oral use of Chinese medicine Guanjietong Tablets ( GT) for knee osteoarthritis in the early and middle stage. Methods Ninety knee osteoarthritis patients in the early and middle stage were evenly randomized into three groups, namely GT group, glucosamine sulfate group and blank control group. All of the three groups received arthroscopic debridement, and additionally, GT group and glucosamine sulfate group were given the corresponding medicine orally. We observed Lysholm knee scores of the three groups before operation, and 2 weeks, 3 months and one year after operation, and compared the knee joint space before operation and one year after operation showed by digital X-ray photograpy. Results ( 1) Lysholm knee scores in the three groups were increased 2 weeks, 3 months and one year after operation when compared with those before operation, the difference being significant (P<0.05) . Three months and one year after operation, the scores of GT group and glucosamine sulfate group differed from those of the blank control group (P<0.01). One year after operation, the scores of GT group differed from those of glucosamine sulfate group ( P<0.05). ( 2) The results of knee joint space showed by digital X-ray photography at knee position of weight loading indicated that the difference was insignificant between GT group and glucosamine sulfate group one year after operation ( P> 0.05) , but the difference between the two groups and the blank control group was significant (P<0.05). The difference of knee joint space was insignificant before operation and one year after operation in GT group and glucosamine sulfate group ( P>0.05) , while was significant in the blank control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion Arthroscopic debridement alone has certain short-term curative effect in treating knee osteoarthritis in the early and middle stage, but the effect will decline with the extension of time. Arthroscopic debridement combined with Guanjietong Tablets could delay the narrowing of joint space and maintain the clinical curative effect, which will delay the time for artificial joint replacement.

Objective To explore the application value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of suspected obstructive jaundice in acute biliary pancreatitis and its effect on treatment outcomes. Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected in 96 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) who were suspected obstructive jaundice. Patients were divided into early EUS scanning group (EES) and delay EUS scanning group (DES). Clinical treatment results and test results were compared between the two groups. Results The diagnosis sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of EUS were 96.43 %, 82.5 %, 90.63 %, 88.52 % and 96.29 %. Early EUS scan with 72 h could identify the etiology of ABP and subsequent treatment based on the EUS can easily decrease the white blood cell count, percentage of neutrophils, total bilirubin and serum amylase (P < 0.05). The pain relief rate in EEI group after 1 week treatment was significantly higher than that in the DES group (87.50 % vs 66.67 %, P = 0.027) and average length of hospitalization was shorter [(12.70 ±2.10) d vs (14.10 ± 3.00) d, P = 0.006]. Delay EUS scan were likely to have higher white blood cell count and total bilirubin, meanwhile seemed to increase the organ failure rate and necrotic infection of the pancreas. Conclusion ABP with suspected obstructive jaundice should be considered to have endoscopy intervention. Results of EUS are the basis for treatment decision, which can avoid the unnecessary endoscopy treatment.
