Objective To investigate the CT features of mesenteric lymph nodes in patients with active Crohn’s disease.Methods The CT findings in 54 patients with active Crohn's disease proved by histology were analyzed,and the anatomic distribution,size, number,shape and enhancement ratio (ER)of the mesenteric lymph node were assessed.Results Mesenteric lymphadenopathy in 38 patients (70.4%)was found with a total number of 242,83.5%(202/242)of whom were located at the mesenteric root and 16.5%(40/242) at mesenteric edge.The size of the lymph nodes at the mesenteric root was larger than that at the mesenteric edge (8.57 mm±2.26 mm versus 5.38 mm±0.1 9 mm,the mean maximum short diameter),and 73.6% (1 78/242 )of the lymph nodes were oval in shape.The lymph nodes showed significant enhancement after contrast injection with an ER of 0.53 ±0.09.Conclusion Active CD often leads to mesenteric lymphadenopathy,which is more obvious at the mesenteric root.

Objective · To investigate the expression of the regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) and calcineurin A (CnA) in tissues of in-stent restenosis after intervention of arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), and to explore the relationship between their expression levels and the occurance of in-stent restenosis. Methods · Superficial femoral arterial tissues were collected from 15 ASO patients undergoing lower extremity amputation for in-stent restenosis in Department of Vascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from September 2013 to June 2016. H-E staining and Masson staining were performed on the stenosis tissues, as well as on the proximal and distal tissues, and the morphological changes of these tissues were observed under optical microscope. Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of RCAN1, CnA and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The distribution of RCAN1 and CnA proteins was observed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence methods. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation was used to validate the protein-protein interaction between RCAN1 and CnA in vascular tissues. Results · The expression of RCAN1 in the distal tissues was significantly elevated compared with the proximal tissues and the stenosis tissues (P<0.05). The expression of RCAN1 in the proximal tissues was higher than that in the stenosis tissues (P <0.05). The expression of CnA and PCNA in the stenosis tissues was significantly elevated compared with the proximal tissues and the distal tissues (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analyses showed that RCAN1 and CN proteins were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of vascular smooth muscle cells. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed there is protein-protein interaction between RCAN1 and CnA in arterial tissues. Conclusion · The low expression of RCAN1 and the high expression of CnA are probably related to the occurrence of in-stent restenosis.

METHOD: The clinical data and follow-up results of 164 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were analyzed retrospectively. All the 164 patients were given intravenous vasodilator, neurotrophic drugs treatment, oral prednisone treatment, and intratympanic dexamethasone injection. All patients were divided into low frequency hearing loss type,intermediate frequency hearing loss, high frequency hearing loss, all frequency hearing loss and total deafness group. Pure tone hearing threshold test were performed before and 3 months after treatment. All patients and different groups were compared before and after treatment damage frequency of average air conduction and various frequency air conduction hearing. Analysis of gender, age, process and hearing curve type, frequency hearing of impaired before treatment, the symptoms with or without vertigo. RESULT: All the patients' hearing improved after treatment. The treatment efficiency was 46.3%, and low frequency hearing improvements were better than the high frequency hearing. Including age, process, frequency hearing of impaired before treatment, with or without vertigo isindependent factors influencing its prognosis. CONCLUSION Based on the regular treatment,oral and intratympanic injection glucocorticoid therapy are safe and effective for sudden hearing loss,The prognosis and age, course, impaired hearing before curve type, treatment frequency hearing level is closely related, with or without vertigo.

Quantitative proteomics is a novel subject of proteomics research. There are several new techniques employed for the protein quantitative study. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technology for protein quantitation using mass spectrometry is a recent powerful means of determining relative and absolute protein levels in up to four samples simultaneously. The iTRAQ reagent produced high quality, reproducible result in enriched complexes, organelles, and whole cell lysates. The status of the recent promising techniques and their possible future evolution were reviewed.

While the number of the enrolled postgraduate students is continuously increased and the various reforms go in depth, there appear some new problems and contradictions in the education of doctorial students.Among those problems,the lack of the doctorial student resource,especially the lack of the excellent doctorial student resource,is the most prominent problem that re- stricts the progress of the doctorial student education.In order to solve these problems,this article analyzes the factors influencing the resource of the students and put forward the strategy to deal with these factors.

RhoA, a small GTPase, is involved in a wide array of cellular functions in the central nervous system, such as cell motility, cytoskeleton rearrangement, transcriptional regulation, phagocytosis and cell growth. It is not known how spinal cord injury (SCI) affects the expression of RhoA in different nerve cells. In the present study, we investigated the changes of RhoA expression in remote areas of the injury at the 3rd, 7th and 30th day after SCI, which was established by T10 contusion method. Moreover, we examine its expression profile in neurons, astrocytes and microglia. RhoA was found to be weakly expressed in these nerve cells in normal spinal cord. Western blotting showed that, after SCI, the total RhoA expression was up-regulated, and the RhoA expression was increased and peaked at the 7th day. Double immunostaining revealed specific and temporal expression patterns of RhoA in different nerve cells. The expression of RhoA in neurons started to increase at day 3, peaked at day 7 and then decreased slightly at day 30. Expression of RhoA in astrocytes increased moderately after SCI and peaked at day 7. There was no obvious change in RhoA expression in microglia after SCI in remote areas. This study demonstrated that, after SCI, RhoA expression exhibited different patterns with different nerve cells of spinal cord. RhoA expression patterns also changed with time after SCI, and among different nerve cells in the injured spinal cord. These findings can help us better understand the roles of RhoA in SCI.
