Objective To evaluate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)in the assessment of cervical cancer with different features.Methods A cohort study of 1 56 cervical cancer patients underwent routine MRI and DCE-MRI scanning on 3.0T MR unit.The semi-quantitative parameters from time-signal curve of DCE-MRI were divided into the following groups:1 ) squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.2)different pathologic grades of cervical cancer (G1,G2,G3).3)early stage (FIGOⅠb/Ⅱa)tumor and advanced tumor (FIGOⅡb,Ⅲ and Ⅳ).4)cervical cancer with different lymph node status (no/yes).5)cervical cancer with dif-ferent tumor size (greatest diameter <2 cm,2-4 cm,>4 cm).6)cervical cancer with different age range.Statistical analysis was performed with the data analysis program SPSS and R3.1.1.Results There was a statistically significant difference between the squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in the SI30s% and Slope,as well as between the tumor FIGO early and advanced stage in TTP and Slope.There was no significant difference among other groups.Conclusion The semi-quantitative parameters from time-signal curve of DCE-MRI can be used to differentiate histologic type and FIGO early/advanced stage of cervical cancer.The diagnostic accuracy may be high for Slope for histologic type differentiation,and the diagnostic accuracy is equal for TTP and Slope in differenti-ation of FIGO early and advanced stage of cervical cancer.

The partial segment of Marek′s disease virus (MDV) glycoprotein B (gB) gene was amplified by PCR. The segment was cloned into pET-28a vector to obtain the recombinant pET-gB plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21,and expressed in very high level as inclusion body after induced with 1.0mmol/L IPTG. The inclusion body was solubilized in urea (8mol/L) . The purified protein was obtained by use of His?Bind affinity chromatography. Mice were immunized i.p. by the purified protein to make the polyclonal antibody. The titer of the antibody by indirect ELISA was 1?10~ -5 . Moreover, the analysis by western blot proved that antibody was specific to the recombinant protein. These works lay a favorable foundation for the study of the immune response by MDV gB.

The development of medical imaging diagnosis technology has brought forward higher requirements for the teaching of oral and maxillofacial medical imaging diagnostics, In this study, we intro-duce the methods and concepts of comparative imaging to guide students to analyze and compare oral and maxillofacial diseases from different perspectives, and to promote the students' understanding of the disease image and mastery of disease diagnosis, improve the students' ability to choose the appropriate imaging method in the future clinical work. Comparative imaging is one of the important teaching methods in the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial medical imaging, and it is also the direction of its future development.

Objective To observe the effects of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the expression of neurotrophic factor protein gene in the retinal detachment (RD) rabbits.Methods 60 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group (group A),retinal detachment with PBS group (group B),retinal detachment with BMSCs group (group C),20 rabbits in each group.RD model were established for rabbits in group B and C.10 μl PBS was injected into the subretinal space of rabbits in group B,while 10 μl CM-Dil labeled BMSC PBS was injected into subretinal space of rabbits in group C.The rabbits in the group A received no treatment.At 1,2 and 4 weeks after modeling,the mRNA expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF),brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) were measured by real-time quantitative PCR.Results At 1,2 and 4 weeks after modeling,the mRNA expression of bFGF,BDNF,CNTF on retinal tissue were increased significantly in group C as compared with group A and B (P<0.01).At 1 week after modeling,the mRNA expression of bFGF and CNTF on retinal tissue were increased significantly in group B as compared with group A,the mRNA expression of BDNF on retinal tissue in group B was similar with group C.At 2 and 4 weeks after modeling,the mRNA expression of bFGF,BDNF,CNTF were decreased in group B as compared with group A.Conclusion Subretinal transplantation of BMSC can increase the mRNA expression of bFGF,BDNF and CNTF on retinal tissue in RD rabbits.

Researches show that exosome can take park in the development and progression of breast cancer by means of mediating the intercellular communication,which can promote cancer metastasis and drug resistance,thus influencing the treatment effect of patients with cancers.Exosome is closely related with clinical stage and prognosis of breast cancer,which has a potential value in the early diagnosis and biological therapy of breast cancer and provides a new hope for the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To compare the different front plastic angle with reinforced plastic endotracheal tube guidance by McGrath -5 video laryngoscope for orotracheal intubation in obesity.Methods 1 20 cases with obesity undergoing general anesthesia,ASA gradeⅠ -Ⅲ who planned intubation guidance by McGrath -5 video laryngo-scope,were randomly divided into three group according to different front plastic angle for endotracheal tube:group A (catheter 60°),group B(catheter 75°),C group(catheter 90°),40 cases in each group.General information and air-way evaluation indexes such as Mallampati classification,the degree of open mouth,neck circumference,thyromental distance,atlanto -occipital joint stretch degree preoperatively were recorded.C /L classification with laryngoscopic exposure,the successful rate of first intubation,time of first intubation,cases of second intubation,the incidence of blood stained catheter and postoperative sore throat and hoarseness were recorded also.Results There were no signif-icant differences of patients with general information and airway evaluating indexes such as Mallampati classification, the degree of open mouth,neck circumference,thyromental distance,atlanto -occipital joint stretch degree among three groups(P >0.05).The successful rate of catheter alignment glottal was 97.5% in group B,which was signifi-cantly higher than that of group A(80.0%)and group C(85.0%)(χ2 =8.36,P <0.05).The time of first intuba-tion was 21 (1 0 -65)s in group B,which was significantly shorter than that in group A[30(1 4 -78)s,Z =3.87,P <0.05]and group C[32(9 -80)s,Z =4.32,P <0.05].All patients in three groups had successful intubation firstly or secondly.The incidence rate of blood stained catheter in group B(2.5%)was significantly lower than that in group A(1 0%)and group C(1 5%,P <0.05 ),but there was no significant difference in postoperative sore throat and hoarseness among three groups(P >0.05).Conclusion McGrath -5 video laryngoscope which guided endotracheal tube with front plastic angle at 75°degree has highest success rate of intubation,shortest intubation time,least compli-cation and is suitable for the application of tracheal intubation in obese patients.

The expressing cassette, LoxP-CMV-gpt-IRES-LoxP( about 2.9kb), was amplified by PCR from a plasmid, pIRES-gpt, by use of the primers , which contained the loxP sites in 5' terminals, respectively. The loxP sites were designed into primers by the software of Primer primer 5.0. Then the cassette was cloned into the site of BalI in pBUS10 to obtain pUS-gptIRES(L). The sequencing analysis for pUS-gptIRES(L) indicated that two loxP sites with the same direction were correctly inserted into pUS-gptIRES(L).The gpt gene in pUS-gptIRES(L) was replaced by a fragment including the full length GFP gene as well as SV40 poly A sequence to get pUS-GFPIRES(L). pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transiently transfected into CHO cell lines, and then the green fluorescence could be seen, the results showed that GFP gene could be expressed correctly. Moreover, pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transfected into the CEF infected MDV CVI988 strain and recombinant virus was selected by the green fluorescence. The growth curve of virus showed the characteristic of recombinant virus was the same as that of CVI988 in vitro. These results give the basis for further studying the characteristic of MDV in vivo and the application of the Cre/LoxP system to MDV genome.
