Objective To investigate the apoptosis of poly morphonuclear neutrophil(PMN)and the reversion of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)in acute lung injury.Methods 30 guinea pigs were randomly divided into three groups:control group,oil acid group(OA group),OA+G-CSF group.Both OA group and OA+G-CSF group had intraveneos injection of oleic acid(0.12ml/kg)to induce acute lung injury.OA+G-CSF group had G-CSF 0.5μg/kg injection once a day for 2 days.Control group had injection of normal saline.All the 3 groups took BALF 2 hours later.PMNs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation.PMN apoptosis was detecded by Terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase-mediated dUTP biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL).Results PMN apoptosis of BALFs of OA group,OA+G-CSF group and control group were(2.5±1.080)%,(3.5±0.850)%and(6.4±1.505)%.The level of PMN apoptosis of BALF of OA group compared with OA+G-CSF group and control group were decreased markedly(P<0.01 for each).Conclusion The apoptosis of PMN in acute lung injury is delayed,and persistent activation of PMN and release of toxic content is closely related to lung injury.G-CSF can reverse the level of apoptosis of PMN in acute lung injury.

Objective To explore the value of pelvic MRI combined with clinical information in diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with ovarian malignant tumor (OMT) using decision tree analysis.Methods The clinical information and pelvic MRI characteristics of 58 cases with ovarian malignant tumor (EC-OMT group) and 743 cases without ovarian malignant tumor (EC group) were reviewed and compared.The diagnostic efficacy of pelvic MRI was evaluated.Decision tree analysis was used in determining the performance on the diagnosis.Results In EC-OMT group,the depth of myometrial invasion,the frequency of cervical and cornua uteri involvement,adnexal mass,pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes involvement and peritoneum metastasis were higher than those in EC group (all P<0.01).Para-uterine involvement showed no significant difference between two groups (1.72% vs 0.40%,P=0.26).In diagnosis of EC with OMT,the sensitivity and specificity value of MRI was 51.72% (30/58) and 99.87% (742/743),respectively.Cornua uteri involvement,adnexal mass and CA125 level were screened as helpful indicators for pre-operation diagnosis by decision tree,and the sensitivity was 89.66% (52/58).Conclusion The diagnosis model of pelvic MRI combined with clinical information by using decision tree analysis can promote sensitivity in diagnosis of EC with OMT.
