Copy number variations (CNVs) refer as a DNA segment that is 1 kb or larger and is presented at a variable copy number in comparison with a reference genome. Classes of CNVs include insertions, deletions, duplications and their complex combinations. Because they widely distributed in the genome with some important characteristics, such as heritable, relative stable and heterogeneity, CNVs are considered as novel genomic polymorphism markers. And the alteration of gene dosage which resulted from CNVs could change phenotype, so a novel CNV genome-wide association analysis (CNV-GWAS) strategy appeared recently and began to used for identifying susceptible genes of complex diseases. It was approved that it could complement the tranditional genome-wide association studies based on single nucleotide polymorphisms. Therefore, genomic structure variances are favorable for revealing the molecular mechanisms and genetic foundation of complex diseases.

Background and purpose: Since the detection of localized prostate cancer is increasing, it's important to distinguish from benign lesions like prostatitis. This study aimed to compare diffusion weighted imaging with apparent diffusion coefifcients in differential diagnosis of localized prostate cancer on 3.0T MR. Methods:Sixty-nine cases with localized prostate cancer proved by pathology, 43 in perpheral zone (PZ) and 26 in central gland (CG), 33 with prostatitis, and 37 with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were analyzed. The signal noise ratio (SNR) and apparent diffusion coefifcient (ADC) value of lesions were measured, and a semiquantitative grading of DW image was performed. The diagnostic accuracy of both methods was evaluated by ROC. Results:45 cancer foci and 36 prostatitis lesions in PZ, 27 cancer foci and 42 BPH lesions in CG were included. The sensitivity and speciifcity for ADC value to distinguish cancer from begin lesions in PZ and CG were 88.9%and 86.1%、81.5%and 73.8%respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of ADC value was higher than DWI semiquantitative grading and SNR (P<0.05). Conclusion:ADC value yielded a higher accuracy in differential diagnosis of localized prostate cancer on 3.0T MR, thus it’s recommended as a major index for diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the possible influence of immunosuppressive therapy,including sirolimus (SRL) and calcineurin inhibitors (CNI, tacrolimus), on level of Treg in the liver allo-graft recipients, Methods Forty-seven liver transplant recipients with stable liver function were assessed for at least 2 years, and divided into two groups: one composed of 15 patients receiving SRL,and another, of those receiving CNI (32 patients with tacrolimus). Thirty-eight age-matched healthy subjects (HS) were used as normal controls. We examined the expression of CD4, CD25, and Foxp3 in peripheral blood monouclear cells. Treg of every group was analyzed using Cell Quest software.Results SRL significantly increased the prevalence of CD4+ CD25high T cells, compared with HS and CNI group. The prevalence of CD4+ CD25high T cells of CNIs group was significantly lower than that of HS. The percentage of CD4+ CD25high T cells in the total CD4+ T cells was 1.88 % (1.56 %-2. 60 %), 1. 15 % (0. 57 %-l. 48 %) and 0. 84 % (0. 46 %-1. 45 %) in SRL, NS and CNI group,respectively (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). Foxp3 was expressed in more than 95 % of CD4 + CD25high T cells and less than 20 % of CD4+ CD25low T cells, whereas not expressed in CD4+ CD25- T cells.Conclusion Different immunosuppressive therapy (SRL or CNI) might have different roles in tolerance induction in liver transplant recipients. Namely, SRL promoted the induction of allo-antigen tolerance, but CNI hampered the progression.

Objective To compare the effects of Ephedrine and combined with small dose cisatracurium treatments on the onset time of cisatracurium and hemodynamics in elderly patients.Methods Sixty cases of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups:E group (ephedrine pretreatment),P group (cisatracurium primin),PE group (cisatracurium priming and ephedrine pretreatment) and C group(control),and each group of 15 cases.Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg were given in P group and PE group,and then ephedrine 70 μg/kg were given in PE group and E group.Anesthesia was induced with target controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 3-5 pg/ml),fentanyl 3-4 pg/kg.Cisatracurium 0.015 mg/kg were given in E group and C group,and P group and PE group dose intravenous cannula remaining.Tracheal intubation was performed when the twitch height depressed to 0.Results The Onset time of PE,C,E and P group were (164±28) s,(306±61) s,(187±31) s and (193±40) s and there were significant differences(F=33.990,P＜0.01).The onset time of PE group was shorter than that in C,E,P group,and the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Systolic pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels in four groups after induction were lower than those before induction (F =35.783,30.015,P =0.000).SBP,diastolic blood pressure (DBP),MAP in PE group and E group were significant higher than those in C group(P＜0.05).After inductions,heart rate(HR) in PE group was significant different form that in C group(P ＜0.05),and HR of C group was significantly decrease than before inductions(P＜0.05).After inductions,the cases with DBP were 11 patients(73.3％) in C group,10 patients(66.7％) in P group:,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients (26.7％) in PE group,the different were significant (x2 =9.867,P ＜ 0.05).After intubation,cases with increase blood press were 3 patients (20.0％) in C group,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients(26.7％) in E group and PE group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ephedrine of 70 μg/kg can relief the circulatory depression and accelerate the onset time of cisatracurium in the elderly patients.Combined with cisatracurium priming can further shorten the onset time and be for elders.

Background and purpose:With the widespread use of screening of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate cancers at organ-conifned stage are increasing in newly diagnosed cases. However, some defects remain in conventional monoexponential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating organ-conifned prostate cancer from benign lesions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain biexponential apparent diffusion parameters of prostate organ-conifned cancer, chronic prostatitis in peripheral zone (PZ) and normal PZ tissue, and to compare with monoexponential apparent diffusion coeffcient (ADC) for differentiating prostate cancer from prostatitis lesions. Methods:Sixteen patients with pathologically confirmed prostate organ-confined cancer in PZ, 14 with prostatitis underwent conventional (b-factors 0, 1 000 s/mm2) and 10b-factors (0-3 000 s/mm2) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).The monoexponential ADC value and biexponential parameters fast ADC (ADCf), fraction of ADCf (f), slow ADC (ADCs) value for prostate cancer, prostatitis and normal tissues were calculated and compared. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for those parameters.Results:Biexponential and monoexponential parameters were obtained for 18 prostate cancers, 18 prostatitis and 37 normal PZ tissues. The ADC value of prostate cancer tissues was remarkably lower [(0.83±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s] than that of other tissues (P<0.01), while the ADC value of prostatitis [(1.45±0.19)×10-3 mm2/s] was lower than that of PZ [(1.67±0.31)×10-3 mm2/s] (P<0.01). Prostate cancer tissues had low-er ADCf [(1.54±0.23)×10-3 mm2/s],f [(45.8±5.4)%] and ADCs [(0.52±0.15)×10-3mm2/s] than the other tissues (P<0.01). The ADCf,f and ADCs were higher in PZ [(3.90±0.40)×10-3, (67.3±8.2)% and (1.51±0.36)×10-3 mm2/s] than prostatitis [(3.06±0.49)×10-3, (47.9±3.9)% and (0.91±0.29)×10-3 mm2/s) (P<0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of ADCf and ADC were similar in differentiating cancer and prostatitis (0.96vs 0.94) (P>0.01), but the AUC off and ADCs in differ-entiating cancer from prostatitis (0.83 and 0.80) were signiifcantly lower than that of ADC (P<0.01).Conclusion:The biexponential DWI provided additional tissue characterization parameters for different prostate tissues. ADCf yielded comparable accuracy with ADC in identiifcation of prostate organ-conifned cancer. The biexponential parameter could further improve the diagnostic effcacy.
