Objective To investigate the imaging characters of abdominal cocoon.Methods Six cases of abdominal cocoon proved by surgery and pathologic findings were retrospectively analyzed. Abdominal plain X-ray and CT were performed in 6 cases.The gastrointestinal barium meal series were undergone in 4 cases.The imaging findings were analyzed.Results Abdominal plain X-ray suggested intestinal obstruction in 3 of 6 cases.The gastrointestinal barium meal showed"cauliflower sign"or "concertina pattern"in all of the 4 cases;CT images revealed a conglomeration of multiple small bowel loops in all 6 cases and the intestinal loops seemed to be encapsulated in a membranelike sac.Conclusion The imaging features of gastrointestinal barium meal and CT scan could suggest the diagnose of abdominal cocoon.

AIM:To establish quality control method for Breviscapine(Orally) Disintegrating Tablets. METHODS: Its main ingredient scutellarin was identified by TLC, the scutellarin in the tablets was determined by HPLC.And the disintegration, dissolution rate and tablet weights were determined. RESULTS: Breviscapine(Orally) Disintegrating Tablets could be disintegrated in 30 seconds,and the tablet weight was fit for the criterion.And the dissolution rate was more quick than the original Breviscapine tablets in the market.A good linearity was obtained within the range of 0.081 6 ?g-0.408 0 ?g with the correlation coefficient(0.999 9.) The recovery was(99.67%) and RSD was 0.47%. CONCLUSION: The method for identifying and determing Breviscapine Orally Disintegrating Tablets is simple,reproducible and practical.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease and the therapeutic effect of encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS). Methods The clinical and imaging data of 38 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,the 307th Hospital of PLA from January 2002 to April 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Thirty-five patients underwent unilateral or bilateral EDAS (64-sides underwent EDAS,4 patients with aneurysms underwent endovascular embolization first),and 3 patients did not undergo any surgery. Results (1)Subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease accounted for 10. 8%(38/353)of all the hemorrhagic moyamoya disease admitted in hospital over the same period,including 37 adults and 1 child. The male to female ratio was 1∶3. 22 (9/29),and the age of onset was 12 to 59 years. The mean age of patients was 39 ± 11 years. Four patients were combined with aneurysms. There were no significant differences in the distribution of Suzuki stage,anterior choroidal artery dilatation and posterior communicating artery dilatation in the remaining 34 patients without aneurysms between the bleeding sides and non-bleeding sides (P>0.05). (2 ) The patients were followed up for 13 -125 months (mean 51 ± 27 months ),two patients had rebleeding,one of them was intraventricular hemorrhage,the other was parenchymal hemorrhage. The postoperative modified Rankin score (mRS)was significantly lower in 35 patients whom were treated with EDAS. Compared with before surgery,there was significant difference (P<0. 05). The re-examination of positron emission tomography (PET)for 16 patients at 3 to 19 months after surgery showed that among the 23 surgically treated hemispheres,the cerebral metabolisms of 17 hemispheres were improved after surgery, and 6 did not have any change after surgery. The re-examination of whole brain digital subtraction angiography (DSA)at 5 to 30 months after surgery in 13 patients showed that revascularizations in 19 of 23 surgical hemispheres were effective. Conclusion Subarachnoid hemorrhagic moyamoya disease often occurs in adults,and women are more common. EDAS can achieve good revascularization effect and improve brain metabolism of patients,and thus relieve the symptoms of cerebral ischemia.

Objective To analyze the mutation of PreS-S region in occult hepatitis B virus(OHBV) in HBV infected persons with positive HBsAb and investigate the biological mechanisms of the special infectious model.Methods A total of 38 HB-sAb positive OBI serum samples were amplified by Nested PCR and sequenced,HBV genotype and serotype were determined.The amino acid sequences of OHBV were compared to the corresponding sequence of wild-type strains of similar genotype obtained from the GenBank database.Results PreS-S segment of 11 samples were obtained and 8 samples were sequenced successfully.Among which,5 were genotype C and 3 were genotype B.Genotype B were all serotype adw,while genotype C were 1 adw and 4 adr.The mutation rates of PreS-S region,the immunoreactive area and the major hydrophilic region (MHR) were higher in OHBV than the wild-type strains (2.6％ vs 0.8％,x2 =40.23,3.2％ vs 0.3％,x2 =52.13,3.6％ vs 0.6％,x2 =13.25,all P＜0.01) and the substitutions of I126T,Q129R,M133T,F134I,D144E,G145K in α determinant were found in OBI samples.The mutation rate of amino acids in PreS-S region was higher in genotype C than genotype B (3.5％ vs 1.2％,x2--15.98,P＜0.01),meanwhile,the mutation rates in MHR,α determinant and immunoreactive region were higher in genotype C too,but no statistical significance was attained (4.7％ vs 1.7 ％,x2 =2.96,3.6 ％ vs 2.9％,x2 =0.25,4.1％ vs 2.3％,x2 =3.59,all P ＞0.05).Conclusion Mutations in PreS-S region,especially in immunoepitope,might change the virus'immunogenicity leading to escape from immune response and cause OBI with HBsAb positive.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of kidney-reinforcing,blood-activating and phlegmresolving therapy for left ventricular fibrosis of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Methods Twenty SHR were randomly assigned to Chinese medicine group and model group.Additionally,ten Wistar-Kyoto(WKY) rats served as normal control group.After 12-week prevention,Masson staining method was used to measure the degree of fibrosis of left ventricular myocardial tissues,reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to detect Smad3 mRNA expression,and Western blotting method was used for the detection of Smad3 protein expression.Results The degree of left ventricular fibrosis myocardial tissue in Chinese medicine group was milder than that in the model group,and Samd3 protein and mRNA expression levels in Chinese medicine group were lower than those in the model group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Kidney-reinforcing,blood-activating and phlegmresolving therapy can improve left ventricular fibrosis in SHR by inhibiting Smad3 expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of Candida albicans and its components on the expression level of human beta-defensin-2 mRNA (HBD-2) in keratinocytes in vitro. Methods Different components of Candida albicans were isolated by lyticase, repeated freezing and thawing, sonication, and centrifugation. The keratinocytes and HaCaT cell lines were co-cultured with Candida albicans and its cellular components for 24 h. The expression level of HBD-2 mRNA was detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Low expression level of HBD-2 mRNA in the unstimulated keratinocytes and HaCaT cells was detected. The HBD-2 mRNA expression levels in the keratinocytes stimulated by Candida albicans, the extract of its cell wall, and pure mannan were significantly increased (P 0.05). Conclusions Candida albicans, the extract of cell wall of Candida albicans, and commercial mannan can increase the expression level of HBD-2 mRNA in keratinocytes.
