Objective To present the CT and MRI findings of the fibrous dysplasia(FD) of the spine.Methods CT and MRI findings were retrospectively evaluated in 19 cases of FD of spine,all of which were confirmed pathologically.Nineteen patients underwent CT plain scanning(19/19) and 5 had enhanced CT scanning(5/19).Patients were also examined by MRI plain scan(11/11) or MRI enhanced scan (6/11).The location of tumors,the type of bone destruction,the boundary of lesions,internal intensity or signal,the enhancement pattern of lesions,and presence of compression fractures,spinal deformity were observed.Result Nine cases had monostotic FD,while 10 had polyostotic FD.In all the 49 lesions of 19 cases,13 lesions were located in the cervical vertebrae,23 lesions in the thoracic vertebrae,11 lesions in lumbar vertebrae,and 2 lesions in sacral vertebrae.Thirty-three lesions involved both vertebral body and appendix.Pure osteolysis were found in 26 lesions on CT examinations.Peripheral osteosclerosis rims (41/49) and expansive lesions(32/49) were seen.Residual bone crest(28/49) and ground-glass opacity(23/49)were noted.Different degrees of vertebral compression were found in 19 lesions.Five patients had spinal deformity.On T1WI,14 lesions showed intermediate or low signal,and 10 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.On T2WI,6 lesions had low signal intensity,4 lesions were noted as hyperintensive,and 14 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.Multiple fluid-fluid levels were found in 1 lesion.Low signal rims were seen in 14 lesions.Twenty lesions of 11 patients had significant enhancement.Conclusion Expansive pattern,ground-glass opacity,peripheral osteosclerosis rims and significant enhancement were helpful findings for the diagnosis of spinal FD.

3.Visual electrophysiological abnormality in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2000;20(5):328-330
Objective To study the visual electrophyological changes in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome(PIH).Methods The visual evoked potentials (VEP) and electroretinogram (ERG) of 28 patients with PIH in 56 eyes were recorded.Results The patients with PIH had pathologic visual electrophysiologic abnormalities. The VEP N75 peak latency significantly increased(P<0.05), and the ERG b wave latency in patients with PIH showed remarkable difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Visual electrophysiological examination may be valuable in early diagnosis of retinal disfunction in patients with PIH.
4.Progress on DAB2IP gene
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2011;27(7):1445-1449
Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.
5.Experimental Study on Tongmai Oral Liquid Prepared by Different Processes
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(12):-
Objective: To study various preparation methods for Tongmai Oral Liquid. Methods: Tongmai Oral Liquid with ultrafiltration method, water alcohol method, talcum powder method, and method were prepared respectively; using impurity clearing efficency, clarity, total saponin content as parameters for quality control. Results: Tongmai Oral Liquid prepared by water alcohol method (alcohol concentration being 75%) was better than that by other methods in claerity, and stability and has highest total saponin. Conclusions: Quality of Tongmai Oral Liquid prepared by water alcohol method was available.
6.Study on the Influence of Cellulase on the Extraction Rate of Medlar Total Saccharide in Medlar by Sphere Symmetry Design
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2006;0(08):-
Objective To study the effect of cellulase on the extraction rate of medlar total saccharide, considering three factors of temperature, time and quantity of cellulose. The best extracting condition was determined according to the require of sphere symmetry design. Methods Add cellulase liquid into the medlar slurry and determine the content of medlar total saccharide by DNS method. Result The extraction rate of medlar total saccharide was increased 1.66% by cellulase at temperature of 60 ℃, time of 300 s and cellulase volume of 5 mL. Conclusion Cellulase can promote the extraction rate of medlar total saccharide.
7.The significance of automated breast volume scanner of breast carcinoma and the research of its imaging manifestations
China Medical Equipment 2017;14(7):84-87
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of automatic breast volume system (ABVS) for breast carcinoma in clinical practice so as to use these reliable data to provide imaging reference for further therapy. Methods: 300 patients with suspected breast cancer were selected and the postoperative pathological examinations were chosen as the golden standard to implement screening. At the same time, 2 radiologists were selected to carry out the grading diagnoses of breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) so as to observe the consistency between diagnoses of ABVS and pathological results. Results: 210 patients were diagnosed as breast tumor by the post-operative pathological examination, and these patients included 89 malignant tumor (29.67%, 89/300). In these malignant cases, there were 42 cases were infiltrative ductal carcinoma, and its rate was 47.19% (42/89). Besides, there were 121 cases were benign tumor (40.33%), and the rate of patients with fibrosum adenoma (78 cases) was the highest in the 121 cases (64.46%, 78/121). And the diagnostic consistency of them was preferably (K=0.724). The sensitivity and specificity of ABVS in diagnosing breast carcinoma were 92.86% and 85.56%, respectively. Its positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 93.75% and 83.70%, respectively. And the Youden index was 0.78. Conclusion: ABVS has relatively high sensitivity and specificity, and the screening test has good authenticity and reproducibility. Therefore, it can provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(03):-
The architecture and environment of hospital are closely linked with the health of patients,which are of important ethical meaning.The layout,ward,waiting room,planting and decoration of a hospital should be centered on patients-oriented value to promote people's health.
9.The Empirical Research of the Impact of Health Insurance on Consumption for Urban and Rural Households
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(10):5-7
Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.
