Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas,whichcan lead to irreversible damage to the morphology and function of the pancreas ultimately.So the early diagnosis and treatment for chronic pancreatitis are very important.And the differentiation between mass-forming chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer is also a difficult problem in clinic.MRI as a noninvasive and nonradiative examination with excellent soft tissue resolution,is very valuable for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis.And the combination of functional MRI and conventional MRI is very helpful for the differentiation between pancreatic carcinoma and mass-forming chronic pancreatitis,which is of great significance to the clinical management.The application and progresses of function MRI in the diagnosis and identification of chronic pancrea titis were reviewed in this article.

OBJECTIVE:
To realize the application of nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) and Epworth sleep score (ESS) before and after nasal cavity ventilation expansion techniques.
METHOD:
Forty-two OSAHS patients with nasal obstructive symptoms were diagnosed by clinical symptoms and polysomnography. Nasal cavity ventilation expansion technique was performed. Before and after the surgery, the NOSE and ESS were used to compare the difference. Postoperative data were obtained at least 3 months later.
RESULT:
Compared the data before and after operation, the NOSE and ESS were significantly decreased respectively (P<0. 05), there is no significant difference between 3 groups (P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION
The result suggest that OSAHS patients taking nasal cavity ventilation expansion operations showed improvement in severity of nasal obstructive symptoms and daily sleepy.

Neurotrophic factor activates signal pathways of intracellular phosphoinositide 3-kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase after acting on Trk receptor tyrosine kinase.It promotes the survival and differentiation of neurons.The development of small molecule Trk agonists of non-peptides and neurotrophic factor simulants can avoid a number of shortcomings of neurotrophic factors while agitating trk receptor signal transduction.It may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of nervous system diseases.

Objective To investigate the distribution of Human Papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) infection and its mixed infection with other HPV subtypes in the Yunnan region. Methods 16 166 cases of women were tested using flow fluorescence Luminex technology. Results (1) HPV16 infection rate and mixed infection rate was 2.2%and 28.0%, respectively; (2) The most common type of HPV16 mixed infection was HPV52, followed by HPV33. The two kinds of mixed infection accounted for 39.8% of the total infection rate; (3) There was a significant difference between each age group of HPV16 mixed infection (Chi=26.39, <0.01) . Conclusion The HPV16 infection was mainly HPV infection in Yunnan region. HPV16 mixed infection merged mainly with HPV52 and HPV33. HPV16 mixed infection was associated with age.

Objective · To investigate the gender-related metabolomic differences in human saliva. Methods · The saliva metabolomic profiles of 5 male and 5 female healthy volunteers with matched age, body mass index (BMI), living and tooth-brushing condition were acquired using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Metabolites were identified using publicly accessible databases and further confirmed individually with standard compounds. Both multivariant and univariate statistics were conducted to find inter-gender differences.Results · Forty-eight metabolites in human saliva were identified including 13 amino acids, 6 choline metabolites, 15 carnitines, 4 sphinganine metabolites,7 lysophosphatidylcholine and 3 organic acids. Levels of phenylalanine, acetylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine, butyrylcarnitine, isobutyrylcarnitine,isovalerylcarnitine and sphinganine were higher in the saliva of females than that of males. Conclusion · Rich metabolic information present in human saliva with significant gender diffference which ought to be taken into consideration in study on the metabonomics of saliva.
