Objective To explore the MRI appearances of type Ⅴ bone contusion of knee, and explore the diagnostic value and clinical significance of MRI. Methods A retrospective review of 1672 consecutive MRI examinations of acutely injured knees was performed to screen patients with type Ⅴ bone contusion. The MRI findings of them were analyzed by two musculoskeletal radiologists. Results The type Ⅴ bone contusion of knee was found in 43 (2.6%)patients, involving both the inferomedial patella and the anterolateral femoral condyle. Bone contusion was defined as low signal on T_1WI, intermediate or slight hypointense signal on T_2WI,and high signal intensity on fat saturation PDWI, which could be easily detected on axial, sagittal or coronal MR images. Other concomitant specific MR findings included fracture in 9 patients, chondral injury in 29 patients, and lateral patellar subluxation or complete dislocation in 27 patients. Injury of the medial retinaculum was diagnosed and classified in 37 cases, which could be observed best on axial images. Conclusions MRI was accurate in detecting the type Ⅴ bone contusion and that is very helpful for diagnosis and treatment of transient lateral patellar dislocation,and should be used as a routine examination for knee trauma. Axial MR examination should be performed to evaluated the medial patellar retinaculum injury when type Ⅴ bone contusion was found.

Objective To study the factors related to the infection induced by internal jugular catheterization and femoral vein catheterization.Methods Bacterial culture was conducted for samples collected from the outer section of catheters,the skin around the catheters and the puncture sites during different stages of the catheterization as well as the cathetor blood before removal and the catheter tips after removal in 75 cages after deep vein catheterization from March to August,2008.Statistic analysis was made on positive results.Results The positive rate of the bacterial culture in femoral vein group was obviously higher than the internal jugular group.Rank correlation analysis indicated:the positive rate of the bacterial culture for the puncture site was highly correlated with that for the outer section of the catheters and the skin around the catheters;and the catheter blood(at the tip)was in low positive correlation with that ofthe puncture site and the skin around catheters.And the positive rate apparently rose on the 3～7th days after the catheterization.Conclusions The catheter-related infection after CVC was closely correlated with the outer section of the catheters,the bacterial pollution to the akin around the catheters and different stages of the catheterization in addition to catheterizing location.It is suggested that nurses should choose proper catheterizing position according to different purposes while paying attention to the nursing work for the puncturing part and during the stage with hish risk of infection so as to reduce the occurrence of catheter-related infection.

Advanced gastric cancer without distant metastasis remains a potentially curable disease, but the prognosis is poor in this condition because of the high unresectability rate at presentation and the high recurrence rate after radical surgery. Administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has several potential benefits for advanced gastric cancer. This treatment can decrease tumor stage and improve R0 resection rate. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has higher patient tolerability and a higher rate of chemotherapy completion than adjuvant chemotherapy. In vivo drug sensitivity tests can also be conducted to avoid unnecessary surgeries. Although high-intensi-ty chemotherapy results in a high overall response rate, a few advanced gastric patients can achieve a pathologically complete re-sponse. However, no standardized treatment has been achieved. This article introduces five cases of advanced gastric cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. The five cases achieved a pathological complete response. This article also aims to explore the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients, proper cooperative treat-ment practices, and prognostic factors for the benefit of future patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between p27 gene methylation and pathology of colorectal carcinoma. Methods p27 gene methylation promotor region and p27 protein expression were detected respectively by methylation specificity polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining SP in 106 cases of colorectal carcinoma and each adjacent normal mucous membrane tissue and 22 cases of colorectal adenoma tissue. Results The positive expression rate of p27 gene methylation was statistically different in colorectal carcinoma tissue compared with normal mucous membrane and colorectal adenoma tissue (P＜0.05). Their positive expression rate were 59.4% (63/106), 18.2% (4/22) and 3.8%(4/106) respectively in colorectal carcinoma tissue,colorectal adenoma and normal mucous membrane tissue (P ＜ 0. 05). p27 gene methylation in poorly differentiated group was significantly higher than that in welldifferentiated group (48.0% vs. 24. 7%, P ＜0. 05), in Dukes-A + B stage group was significantly lower than that in Dukes C + D stage group(20. 0% vs. 41.2%, P ＜ 0. 05 ), and it was higher in lymph nodes metastases group than that in lymph nodes negative group(41.5% vs. 23. 1%, P ＜0. 05), that in positive serosa infiltration group was higher than negative serosa infiltration group(32. 5% vs. 24. 1%, P ＞ 0. 05 ).Conclusions Methylated p27 gene protein expression in colorectal carcinoma was significantly higher than normal mucous membrane and colorectal adenoma tissue. The methylation rate of p27 gene in colorectal carcinoma was significantly associated with tumor differentiation, invasive depth, Dukes stage, lymph node metastasis.

Objective To explore the effect of fluid shear stress on the expression of glucose regulatory protein 78(GRP78)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methods HUVECs were used as experimental cells,and a fluid dynamics simulation experimental system was designed and constructed.Different fluid shear stresses were applied to the experimental cells by controlling the flow rate of the perfusion fluid in the experimental system.According to the fluid shear stress experienced by the experimental cells in the experimental system,they were divided into low shear stress group(group A;0.4Pa),medium shear stress group(group B;0.8 Pa)and high shear stress group(group C;1.2 Pa).Each group of HUVECs consisted of 3 cell slides,and each slide was repeatedly circulated through the perfusion solution of the experimental system for 12 h.Western blotting was used to detect the levels of GRP78 and CHOP proteins,and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of GRP78 and CHOP and their messenger RNA(mRNA)in each group.GraphPad Prism 8.0 software was used to statistically analyze the data.Results(1)The relative expression levels of GRP78 protein in groups A,B and C were 1.33±0.46,0.93±0.34,0.64±0.30,respectively,the difference among groups was statistically significant(F=36.17,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of GRP78 protein in group A was higher than that in group B and group C(both P＜0.01),and the relative expression level of GRP78 protein in group B was higher than that in group C(P=0.0013).The relative expression levels of CHOP protein in the three groups were 1.29±0.38 in group A,0.90±0.34 in group B,and 0.59±0.29 in group C,the difference among groups was statistically significant(F=41.27,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of CHOP protein in group A was higher than that in group B and group C(both P＜0.01),and the relative expression level of CHOP protein in group B was higher than that in group C(P=0.0 004).(2)The relative expression levels of GRP78 mRNA in groups A,B,and C were 18.3±3.4,11.3±1.8,5.4±2.2,respectively,the difference among groups was statistically significant(F=189.20,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of GRP78 mRNA in group A was higher than that in group B and group C(both P＜0.01),and the relative expression level of GRP78 mRNA in group B was higher than that in group C(P＜0.01).The relative expression levels of CHOP mRNA in the three groups were 20.4±3.8 in group A,14.2±2.1 in group B,and 7.8±1.3 in group C,the difference among groups was statistically significant(F=171.80,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of CHOP mRNA in group A was higher than that in group B and group C(both P＜0.01),and the relative expression level of CHOP mRNA in group B was higher than that in group C(P＜0.01).Conclusion Low fluid shear stress may increase the protein and mRNA expression levels of GRP78 and CHOP in HUVECs.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in hyperlipidemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HLAP) and its prognostic value.Methods:This study included 184 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2018 to May 2021. Based on disease etiology, there were 92 HLAP cases and 92 non-hyperlipidemia-induced AP (NHLAP) cases. Stratified by disease severity according to 2012 Atlanta classification criteria, the patients were divided into the severe subgroup (SAP) and non-severe subgroup (NSAP). Peripheral venous blood samples were taken from all patients on day 1, 3, and 5 after admission. T lymphocyte subsets were determined by flow cytometry, and cytokines were detected by flow fluorometry. The number of CD4 +% and CD8 +% and the expression of cytokines were compared by Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney U analysis. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe AP, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to predict severe AP. Statistical significance was taken as P<0.05. Results:Compared with the NHLAP group, patients in the HLAP group had lower CD4 +%, while higher levels of IL-2 on day 1 ( P<0.05), and had also lower CD4 +%, while higher levels of IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 on day 3 ( P<0.05). Furthermore, IL-6 and IL-10 levels of the HLAP group were significantly increased compared to the NHLAP group on day 5 ( P<0.05). IL-10 levels in the SAP subgroup were significantly higher than those in the NSAP subgroup on day 1 ( P<0.05). Compared with the NSAP subgroup, the SAP subgroup had elevated levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ on day 3 (all P<0.05), and had lower CD4 +%, while increased levels of IL-6 and IL-10 on day 5 (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-10 was an immune indicator of independent risk factor for severe AP in the HLAP group on day 1 ( OR=1.139, 95% CI: 1.038-1.251, P<0.05). Finally, ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of IL-10 to assess HLAP with severe AP was 0.772, and the best cut-off value for predicting severe AP was 5.6 pg/mL, with a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 68.8%. Conclusions:Changes of CD4 +% and cytokines are different between the HLAP and NHLAP groups. IL-10 can be used as a predictor of early disease severity in patients with HLAP.

Objective To compare the image quality of chest low dose CT (LDCT) using automatic exposure control (AEC) and constant current control (CCC) and explore a more reasonable scanning protocol. Methods Two hundred and eighty participants were examined with 64 CT scanner at 7 centers in China. All were divided into 4 groups. Two groups underwent LDCT using AEC with standard deviation set at 25 (A1) and 30 (A2) respectively and the tube current ranged from 10 mA to 80 mA. The other two groups underwent LDCT using CCC with tube current set at 40 mA (C1) and 50 mA (C2) respectively. The axial and MPR images were evaluated by two radiologists who were blinded to the scanning protocols.The radiation dose, noise and the image quality of the 4 groups were compared and analyzed statistically.Differences of radiation dose and noise among groups were determined with variance analysis and t test,image quality with Mann-Whitney test and the consistency of diagnosis with Kappa test. Results There was a significant lower DLP in AEC group than in CCC group [(82.62±40.31)vs ( 110.81±18.21) mGy·cm (F =56. 88 ,P ＜ 0. 01 )], whereas no significant difference was observed between group A2 and group A1 0. 05]. The noisy of AEC group was higher than that of CCC group both on lung window(41.50±9.58 vs 40.86±7.03) and mediastinum window (41.19±7.83 vs 40.92±9.89), but there was no significant difference( Flung =0.835, P=0.476, Fmediastinum =1.910, P=0.128).The quality score of axial image in AEC group was higher than that in CCC group (superior margin of the brachiocephalic vein level: 4.49±0.56 vs4.38±0.64,superior margin of the aortic arch: 4.86±0.23 vs 4.81±0.32,the right superior lobar bronchus Level:4.87±0.27 vs 4. 84 ± 0. 22, the right middle lobar bronchus Level: 4.90±0.25 vs 4.88±0.21) except on the right inferior pulmonary vein level(4. 92 ±0. 25 vs 4. 93 ±0. 17) and superior margin of the left diaphragmatic dome level (4. 91±0.27 vs 4.93±0.22) on lung window, but no significant differences (F=0.076-1.748, P＞0.05) were observed. A significant higher score in AEC group was observed on mediastinum window compared with CCC group on superior margin of brachiocephalic vein level (2.57±0.77 vs 2. 46 ± 0. 59, F = 8. 459, P ＜ 0. 05 ), however, the score of AEC group was lower than that of CCC group on other levels without significant differences (superior margin of the aortic arch:3.36 ±0. 63 vs 3.45 ±0. 60,the right superior lobar bronchus level: 3.94 ±0. 56 vs 3. 95 ±0. 51 ,the right middle lobar bronchus Level: 3.80 ±0. 58 vs 3. 87 ±0. 50,the right inferior pulmonary vein level: 3.72 ±0. 56 vs 3.78 ±0. 53, superior margin of the left diaphragmatic dome level: 3.58 ± 0.63 vs 3.68±0.56,F=0.083-3.380,P ＞ 0.05 ). The MPR image quality of AEC group was better than that of CCC group both on lung window and mediastinum window (Zlung =-2.258, Zmedlastinum=-1.330, P＞0.05). For all participants including the underweighted group, the normal group and the overweighted group, the image quality of A1 group was better than that of A2 group without significant differences (the underweighted group: Zlung=0.000, P=1.000, Zmedastinum= 0.000, P=1.000;the normal group: Zlung =-0.062, P=0.950, Zmediastinum =-0.746, P = 0.456; the overweighted group: Zlung = - 1.177, P = 0.239,Zmediastinum =-1.715, P=0.144) both on lung and mediastinum windows, and for the higher BMI participants, a better image quality was obtained in A1 group than in A2 group on the mediastinum window (Z = -1. 715, P = 0. 144). Conclusions The total radiation exposure dose of AEC group is significantly lower than that of CCC group, but no statistical significant differences are observed between both groups in image quality and noise level. The AEC technique is highly recommended in thoracic LDCT scan for screening program, and the SD25 ( SD value = 25) scan protocol is suggested for higher BMI population while the SD30 (SD value = 30) scan protocol for lower BMI population.
