Objective To investigate the imaging findings of primary bone malignant fibrous histiocytoma (PBMFH) in long bone. Methods MRI and XV ray examinations were performed in 10 patients with PBMFH in long bone confirmed by histology. CT scans were performed in 6 cases. Results Nine cases had single and 1 case had multiple lesions of single bone. Seven cases showed osteolytic bone destruction, and 3 cases showed mixed bone destruction. Only 1 case showed periosteal reaction. Gross bony ridge was seen in 3 cases on CT scan. All the patients demonstrated isointensity or hypointensity on T1WI, and slight hyperintensity signal on T2WI. Necrosis was seen in the lesion of 10 cases. Four cases showed obvious but heterogeneous enhancement after contrast medium injection. Eight cases had soft tissue mass beyond the scope of bone destruction. Conclusions Some imaging features may suggest the diagnosis of PBMFH in long bone.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of fetal intravascular transfusion via the intrahepatic vein in the treatment of fetal anemia.Methods:This was a retrospective analysis of all fetuses requiring intrauterine transfusion (IUT) in the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019. According to the different ways of IUT, they were divided into intrahepatic venous transfusion group and umbilical venous transfusion group, fetal outcomes and the incidence of procedure-related complications between the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 97 IUTs were performed on 48 fetuses. Among them, 16 cases were performed in the intrahepatic vein (31 transfusions), 32 cases were performed in the cord of the umbilical vein (66 transfusions).There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, labor history and the proportion of fetal hydrops before the first transfusion. In the intrahepatic venous transfusion group, the posterior placenta was 14/16, which was significantly higher than 78% (25/32) in the umbilical venous transfusion group ( P<0.01). The live-birth rates of the two groups were 13/16 and 75% (24/32). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Before intrahepatic venous transfusion, the proportion of fetal hydrops was significantly higher than that of umbilical venous transfusion [55% (17/31) vs 24% (16/66), P<0.05]. Puncture success rate of intrahepatic venous transfusion and umbilical venous transfusion were both 100%. In the umbilical venous transfasion group, the incidence of needle slippage (5%, 3/66) and the abnormality of fetal heart rate (11%, 7/66) were higher than those in the intrahepatic venous transfasion group [0 and 3% (1/31)], but there were no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no cases of fetal loss within 24 hours, premature rupture of membranes, infection within 7 days and emergency cesarean section after IUT in both groups. Conclusions:Fetal intravascular transfusion via the intrahepatic vein is safe and feasible in the treatment of fetal anemia. But the requirements of puncture technique are relatively high, so it is recommended to be carried out in experienced fetal treatment center.
7. A potential novel antidepressant target based on phosphodiesterase 4: Research advances
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2014;41(3):291-295
Depression is a prevalent and life-threatening mental disorder. Its mechanisms remain unclear. It was found that depressive disorders are closely related to monoamine neurotransmitters absence, down-regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and neurotrophic factors and dendritic complexity in brain. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor rolipram produce antidepressant and memory-enhancing effects via intracellular cAMP signaling. However, its clinical utility is limited by the major side effect of emesis, which appears to be PDE isoform-specific. Therefore, this research is to investigate whether long-form PDED variants mediate antidepressant and cognition-enhancing effects, without causing emesis. This review summaries the PDE molecular structure, distribution and its antidepressant function, so as to illustrate the advantage of selective subtype inhibitor in the treatment of depression.

Aim: To construct a prokaryotic expression vector carrying NuBCP-9-tumstatin(74-98) (abbreviated as NT) gene and to obtain the fusion peptide with antitumor activity. Methods: Nucleotide sequences of antitumor peptides, NuBCP-9 and Tumstatin( 74-98), were connected via a linker(G_4S)_3 based on biased codons of E. coli the fused NT gene was reconstructed using SOE PCR, and inserted into pET32a(+) vector, and transformed in E. coli BL21(DE3). After expression, the novel fusion peptide was purified through nickel-affinity chromatogra-phy, Factor Xa digestion and ultrafiltration. Biological activity of the fusion peptide on ECV304 and A549 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Results: A prokaryotic expression system with NT gene was successfully constructed. The soluble fusion peptide was accounted for approximately 25% when induced by 0. 5 mmol/L IPTG at 30 ℃ for 4 h. The purified fusion peptide could inhibit cell growth of ECV304 and A549 with inhibition rates of 60. 8% and 65. 2% at 20 μmol/L, respectively. Conclusion: A novel fusion peptide with antitumor activity was cloned, expressed and purified.

BACKGROUND:Delayed onset muscle soreness is closely related to skeletal muscle micro-injury, but the exact mechanism of skeletal muscle micro-injury is not yet clear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the histomorphological and ultrastructure changes of skeletal muscle micro-injury models induced by eccentric exercise. METHODS: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into quiet control group, immediately after exercise group, post-exercise 24 hours group, post-exercise 48 hours group and post-exercise 72 hours group. In the latter four groups, the rats were subjected to intermittent running on the-16° slope at a speed of 16 m/min: 5 minutes movement, 2 minutes rest and totaly 120 minutes. Rats in the latter four groups were observed immediately, at 24, 48, 72 hours after exercise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After eccentric exercise, the morphology and ultrastructure of rat’s skeletal muscle were both changed to different extents, and Desmin and Vimentin were dyed off for anti-desmin antibody staining at varying degrees. It indicates that one-time eccentric exercise can cause delayed skeletal muscle micro-injury.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the past 5 years' clinic experience of diagnosis and treatment of the pediatric soft-tissue foreign body (STFB),and to probe new strategies for its clinical management.MethodsTotally 165 consecutive children with small radiopaque STFB were involved.All the children were diagnosed with X-rays.CT (enhanced CT in 9 children)and virtual anatomy imaging (VAI) were performed in 40 children.Percutaneous foreign body forceps removal guided with C-arm video-fluoroscopy was performed and the effect was evaluated.ResultsThe longest dimension of STFB ranged from 1 mm to 40 mm,and the shortest dimension ranged from 1 mm to 5 mm,including scrap-iron,broken iron nails and needles,and glass pieces embedded in soft tissues under surface of the limbs,neck,chest,abdomen and pelvis.Seventy-six (76/165,46.06 %) children received interventional therapy,and 73 were completely cured (73/76,96.05 %),2 were partially cured (2/76,2.63 %),and 1 was failed (1/76,1.32 %).VAI accurately depicted STFB closely to large vessels even associated vascular complication with local large hematomas or pseudoaneurysms,helped to select the treatment methods and the forceps removal roads.Hematoma,infection,neural damages and other serious complications did not occur during and after operation.ConclusionVideo-fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous foreign body forceps removal is minimally invasive,safe and effective for small radiopaque STFBs,but may not suitable for the one very close to large blood vessels with or without vascular injuries complications.Preoperative CT VAI is helpful to locate STFB within complicated anatomic structures,selecting optimal intervention pathway and assessing the risk of intervention.
