1.Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for the treatment of ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2014;22(8):625-628
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),a new generation of anti-depressant agent,are mainly used to treat emotional disorders in clinical practice now.Recent studies have found that SSRIs can increase neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia,promote neurovascular reconstruction,and are conducive to the recovery of neurological function.Furthermore,SSRIs can improve the tolerance of ischemic tissue,exert anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation properties,reduce the blood-brain-barrier injury,and inhibit excitatory amino acid toxicity in order to exert neuroprotective effect.This article reviews the related research progress in SSRIs and ischemic stroke.

China Medical Equipment 2013;(9):9-11
Objective: To discuss the methods and experience of 64-slice spiral CT which used in infant cases with congenital heart disease, to select the appropriate scan parameters for reducing artifact and the radiation dose. Methods: Thirty-five cases with congenital heart disease were arranged CT examination by using Philips Brilliance 64-slice spiral CT scanner with Blous Tracking techniques. Results: All the images of the heart chambers, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, the ascending aorta and the descending aorta contrast agent filling showed good and had clear display. The density of superior vena cava is moderate. The various vascular CT value is approximate, no hardening artifacts. The atrioventricular of Cardiac and vascular of contrast agent filled fully and had clear boundary, no significant artifacts and no effect on the impact reconstruction. Conclusion: Appropriate adjustment of scanning parameters can reduce hardening artifact and the impact of artifacts. Following the principle of as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) can obtain diagnostic images and reduce radiation damage to the infant.

5.Asymmetric index analysis on the orthodontic-orthognathic treatment of facial asymmetry patients in skull positioning posterior-anterior radiographs.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2014;32(2):138-144
OBJECTIVETo analyze the asymmetry of measurements in facial asymmetry patients with skull positioning posterior-anterior radiographs after orthodontic-orthognathic treatment.
METHODSPosterior-anterior cephalometric radiography and cephalometric analysis were performed in forty-five patients with different degrees of facial asymmetry. A single sample t-test was conducted to compare the asymmetry of measurements before treatment and individual normal occlusion. The measurement and reference values in facial asymmetry patients who underwent orthodontic-orthognathic treatment were summated by analyzing the correlation coefficient. The paired t-test was employed to compare the difference between the two groups before and after the treatment.
RESULTSFourteen measurements were significantly different before the treatment and individual normal occlusion (P < 0.05). Me[X] exhibited a higher correlation index of Ag[X] in forty-five cases. Twenty-eight patients showed the main asymmetry in the mandibular body, whereas fifteen patients in the ramus. Two patients showed the main asymmetry in both mandibular body and ramus. Fifteen measurements were significantly different before and after the treatment (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONFacial asymmetry is mainly concentrated in one-third of the surface, primarily manifested in the mandibular body. Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is preferred when Ag[X] is greater than the minimum reference value of 11.31%, Go[X] is greater than 9.79%, and Me[X] is greater than 5.2 mm.

6.The report of extreme lateral lumbar disc herniations (15 cases)
Journal of Clinical Surgery 1999;0(05):-
Objective To explore the clinical and CT characteristics of extreme lateral lumbar disc herniations and improve the diagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical and CT manifestations in 15 patients with extreme lateral lumbar disc herniations proved by operation was done. Results Extreme lateral lumbar disc herniation at L4/5 level is more common. Intraforaminal lumbar disc herniations combined with extraforaminal herniation were seen in most cases. The clinical findings often presented lumbar bi-root compression syndromes. Conclusion The clinical presentation combined with CT image is the key to the correct diagnosis.

A mAb T2-2 was generated using hybridoma techniques, and its target was identified as a 46 ku-cytokeratin (CK), based on biochemical study and a completely overlapped binding pattern of mAb T2-2 with anti-pan-CKs antibodies. An epithelia-specificity of the mAb T2-2 was determined by screening 68 human normal and 65 tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry. Unlike most of anti-CKs antibodies, the mAb T2-2 recognized a mono-specific epitope only expressed on the 46 ku CK, suggesting that mAb T2-2 is superior to most anti-CKs antibodies that cross-reacted with many different kinds of CKs. In addition, it was found that the mAb T2-2 was multipurpose with a broad applicability to ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and was also compatible with various fixation reagents. These results strongly indicate that the mAb T2-2 has potential applications for studying CKs function and for diagnosis of tumor and other disorders.
