Ischemic stroke is the major cause of disability and death.Although autophagy is widely involved in the process of acute brain ischemia,the exact role of autophagy is still unclear.As autophagy is a double-edged sword,its protect or damage impact mainly depends on the degree of phagocytosis.In general,moderate phagocytosis can effectively remove excess metabolites,aging organelles,etc;whereas the excessive autophagy is vulnerable to autophagy-like cell death by virture of the normal intracellular organelles and materials degraded by lysosome.In conclusion,this review focuses on the following two points:1.What's the role of autophagy in the ischemic brain injury——protective or damage 2.How does autophagy interact with apoptosis and necrosis.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of lotensin on sympathetic responses following cervical plexus block and to explore the mechanism of cardiovascular responses and sympathetic nervous system activity according to plasma catecholamine concentration. Method: Sixty adult patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 30):Group A and group B. In group B lotensin 0.15mg/kg was taken orally at night before surgery and 2h before anesthesia separately. Hemodynamics was determined before anesthesia(T_1), 5min(T_2), 10min(T_3), 15-20min(T_4)and 30min (T_5) after cervical plexus block. For measurement of plasma catecholamine concentration, blood was collected at T_1,T_3,T_4 and T_5. The study was finished before beginning of surgery and infusion. Result: In group A after anesthesia SP,DP, MAP,HR,RPP and plasma noradrenalinc level rose markedly(P0.05). All parameters were lower in group B compared with group A(P

Objective To investigate epidemiological characteristics in hospitalized adolescents and children who suffered from traffic injuries,such as source and location of an accident,the victim's gender arid age,and the site of injury.Methods The chosen subjects were 163 hospitalized children aged 1 to 18 years old,who were admitted to general hospitals in Shanghai in the years of 2004 to 2005 as a result of traffic injuries.Descriptive statistics and analysis were used to interpret the data.Results Children of immigrant workers and suburban residents were the main victims ;the main cause of injury was the collision between the motor vehicle and the pedestrian;this type of traffic injury was the most prevalent among children between 5 to 9 years old;and the locations of the injury was most commonly found in the head,the face, and the extremities.Conclusions From this statistical evidence,it could be concluded that it would be worthwhile for the government to pay more attention to children of immigrants and suburban residents to effectively educate them about traffic safety and knowledge,tt is also advisable to improve the safety protection and post - traffic injury care of children passengers.

Objective To study the relationship of gastric carcinoma with serum trace elements and helicobacter pylori(Hp).Methods The contents of 6 serum trace elements and helicobacter pylori were determined in gastric carcinoma,chronic gastritis patients and normal control.Results The serum levels of Mg,Ca,Zn and Cu in the patients with gastric carcinoma were significantly lower than those in normal control Mg (0.71?0.15)mmol/L vs (0.97?0.26)mmol/L,Ca (1.68?0.28)mmol/L vs (2.03?0.31)mmol/L,Cu (12.27?5.91)mmol/L vs (16.57?3.55)mmol/L,Zn (16.18?4.77)mmol/L vs (21.78?7.37)mmol/L.The infection rates of Hp in the patients with gastric carcinoma and normal control were 71.4% vs 27.3%(?2=6.201,P=0.013),there was significant diversity.Conclusion Obvious changes of serum Mg,Ca,Cu,Zn and infection Hp may be related to carcinogenesis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To study the imaging features of meningiomas of ethmoid sinuses. Methods Six cases of meningiomas of ethmoid sinuses verified pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Results CT scans of 6 cases exhibited huge cystic masses ( n =3), huge cystic solid masses ( n =2), huge solid mass ( n =1). The cystic walls were remarkable osteosclerosis. The density of solid masses were homogeneous, or heterogeneous with calcifications and cystic changes, and prominent contrast enhancement. MR images of 1 case (1/6) showed a cystic solid mass, the cystic portion was highsignalintensity on T 2WI and lowsignalintensity on T 1WI, while the solid mass was isosignalintensity on T 1WI and T 2WI. The solid portion was enhanced. X ray plain films of 3 cases (3/6) displayed ethmoid sinuses enlargement and high density. Conclusion For the meningiomas of ethmoid sinuses, CT finding was specific, MRI was helpful in differential diagnosis, and X ray plain film was of no qualitative value.

Objective To explore the clinical value of methylene blue in sentinel lymph node biopsy ( SLNB) in breast conservative therapy of breast cancer. Methods 55 patients performed sentinel lymph node biopsy( SLNB)in were analyzed,with breast conservative therapy of breast cancer in clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ. The mapping procedures and SLNB were performed using subareolar injection of Methylene blue dye,followed by the axillary lymph node dissection(ALND). All of the SLN and ALN were evaluated pathologically after the operations. Results Among 55 cases ,52 cases were checked out sentinel lymph node and the positive rate was 95% (52/55). The axillary status was 100% accurately predicted by SLNs;Sensitivity in this group was 93% (52/55) ;False negative rate was 5% (1/20);False positive rate was 0. Conclusion Methylene blue dye is a reliable method for sentinel lymph node biopsy. SLNB is a simple and safe technic, which helps to reveal the state of the axillary lymph nodes.

Objective:To explore the independent prognostic factors of primary osteosarcoma patients under 20 years old after radical surgery, so as to predict the prognosis and survival of patients.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 1 339 patients with primary osteosarcoma diagnosed and registered in the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, epidemiology and outcome database (SEER) from 1984 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate of patients. Log rank test was used to evaluate the survival difference. Cox multivariate analysis was used to determine the independent prognostic factors of osteosarcoma after radical surgery factor.Results:The results of primary osteosarcoma patients undergoing radical surgery found that 34 cases (2.54%) aged 0-5 years old, 236 cases (17.63%) aged 6-10 years old, and 600 cases (44.81%) aged 11-15 years old and 469 cases (35.02%) aged 16-20 years old. The median survival time was 68 months. Among them, 757(56.53%) were male and 582(43.47%) were female. Among the 1 339 cases, 986 were white (73.64%), followed by black 230(17.18%), and 123 other races (9.18%). Multivariate analysis revealed that males ( HR=1.242; 95% CI:1.024-1.505), axial osteosarcoma ( HR=1.589; 95% CI:1.179-2.166), and regional invasion of osteosarcoma ( HR=1.470; 95% CI:1.156-1.870), distant metastasis ( HR=3.536; 95% CI:2.725-4.589) were independent risk factors for overall survival. Other types of osteosarcoma ( HR=0.471; 95% CI:0.285-0.779) were independent protective factors for overall survival. Conclusions:Based on the SEER database, this study identified independent prognostic factors for patients with primary osteosarcoma under the age of 20 who underwent radical surgery, which will help clinicians formulate individualized medical strategies and predict patients′ prognosis.

Objective To determine the capability of emergency physicians (EPs) after goaldirected training to make accurate judgement and assessment of left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) as they own manipulated the hand-held echocardiography.Methods Eighty-one patients with acute dyspneic symptom admitted into emergency department of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai qaotong University School of Medicine from November 2011 to February 2012 were enrolled for a prospective,observational study.Patients with a history of trauma or acute myocardial infarction diagnosed by electrocardiogram were excluded.Four EPs after a intensive course of goal-oriented training in a good command of trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) in 81 emergency patients using hand-held echocardiography.EPs attempted to obtain images at the parasternal (long and short axis),apical,and subcostal positions,and visually estimated left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and categorized LVSF as normal function,mild or moderate or severely depressed function.The results of echocardiographic LVEF got by EPs were compared quntitatively with those measured by an professional echocardiographer.The kappa statistical test by using SPSS version 13.0 software was used to allow for comparison in agreement between EPs and the professional echocardiographer's interpretations of TTE findings.Results Using the results of TTE measured by the professional echocardiographer as agold standard,EPs correctly distinguished the normal LVSF from decreased LVSF in 89％ patients.The rate of positive predictive value for the EPs identifying any abnormality in LV function was 83％ and the rate of negative predictive value was 93％.The kappa coefficient for the agreement between EPs and the professional echocardiographer' s interpretations for any abnormality in LV function was 0.77 (95％ CI:0.70-0.84,P ＜ 0.01).EPs correctly placed LV function into one of three categories in 68 of 81 cases (84％),The kappa coefficient for the agreement was 0.71 (95％ CI:0.64-0.78,P ＜0.01).Conclusions Emergency physicians after a intensive course of training in mastering echocardiography can accurately determine the left ventricular systolic function.

Objective To assess the concordance of MRI diagnosis for patients suspected of lumbar disk herniation by using Kappa statistic.Methods One hundred patients(48 males and 52 females)with lumbosaeral radicular pain,aged from 17 to 86(average 61).All patients underwent fast spin-echo T1 and T2 weighted imaging on a 3.0 T MR scanner and spine surface coil.Two radiologists(doctor A and doctor B)evaluated the lumbar disks from L3-4,L4-5.and L5-S1 in 50 out of the 100 patients independently.The presence of a bulging disk or a herniation was reported.Images were interpreted twice:once before and once after disclosure of clinical information.And disks of 52 patients out of the 100 samples were interpreted by the two radiologists independently without clinical information as well.The Kappa statistics was employed to assess the concordance of each radiologist's diagnoses as well as the observer variation of the two radiologists.Results Diagnoses before and after disclosure to clinical information were concordant in 114 disks for doctor A and in 109 for doctor B.respectively.Diagnoses before and after disclosure to clinical information were not concordant in 36 disks for doctor A and in 41 disks for doctor B,respectively.The Kappa values were 0.60±0.06 and 0.57±0.06 for doctor A and doctor B,respectively.The concordance was moderate.After disclosure to elinical information.the numbers of reported bulging disks increased significantly.by 10 and 31 for doctor A and doctor B,respectively.Without clinical information,the diagnoses of the two radiologists were concordant in 77 disks,while not concordant in 79 disks.The interobserver agreement was poor(Kappa=0.24±0.06).The diffcrence on diagenoses made between with and without clinical information mainly happened on the differential diagnosis of normal disks and bulging disks.The different,diagnoses made between with and without clinical information were on 20 disks and on 30 disks for doctor A and doctor B,respectively;that accounted for 55.6%(20/36)and 73.2%(30/41)of total variation respectively.The diagnostic difference between the 2 doctors happened mainly on differentiation of bulging disks and normal disks,which happened in 56 disks,aceountiong for 70.9%(56/79)of total variation.Conclusion Variation on diagnoses of the same radiologist or between tworadiologists was mainly caused by disagreement on bulging disks.
