Objective To explore the feasibility and application value of low dose CT with automatic tube current modulation (ATCM) in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis.Methods Forty-five patients with pneumoconiosis confirmed by the occupational agency underwent standard dose CT scanning with a fixed tube current of 150 mA and low dose CT scanning with ATCM (50-200 mA) with noise index (NI) of 14.The CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) under the different scanning condition were recorded.The image quality,specific image manifestations of pneumoconiosis (shadow size,shadow concentration,pneumoconiosis stages) were reviewed in double-blind methods by two radiologists,and the statistical analysis was performed.Results CT characteristics of pneumoconiosis could be detected efficiently with low dose CT scanning with ATCM.There were no significant differences in showing the shadow size,shadow concentration,pneumoconiosis stages and the image quality between the two groups (P＞0.05).The CTDIvol and DLP of standard dose CT scanning were 13.53 mGy and (337.13 ± 13.53) mGy/cm respectively,and CTDIvol and DLP of low dose CT scanning with ATCM were (7.39 ± 0.45) mGy and (188.78 ± 1.80) mGy/cm,there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Low dose CT scanning with ATCM can reflect the characteristics of pneumoconiosis,and it also can significantly reduce the radiation dose with diagnostic acceptability of the image quality.So low dose CT scanning with ATCM can replace the standard dose CT scan in diagnosing and screening of the pneumoconiosis.

The parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) participates in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism and multiple organ growth,and plays an important role in the processes of malignant tumor bone metastasis and hypercalcemia.Currently,more and more researches have confirmed that PTHrP can be secreted by a variety of types of tumor cells.PTHrP participates in regulating tumor cell proliferation and invasion,and it is closely related to the prognosis of patients,which provides a new target of cancer treatment.

Objective Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is one of the Ca2+ release channels on the intracellular Ca2+ stores. RyR induced-Ca2+ release is activated by the voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry, that is, calcium-induced calcium release (CICR). Intracellular free Ca2+ concentration (ECa2+]i) plays a key role on cochlear function. Our study is to investigate the differential expression of RyR in the developing rat cochlea, and to analyze the relationship between the expression of RyR and auditory functional development. Methods Immature SD rats, which were 1 day (P1), 5 days (P5), 10 days (P10), 14 days (P14), 28 days (P28) after parturition, and adutl rats(5 rats for each age) were included in the study. Frozen cochlea sectioning and immunofluorescence were applied to observe the differential expression of RyR. Results The RyR expression in the Corti's organ increased during the cochlear development. It's not significant that the stain was observed on the hair cells and supporting cells in the Corti's organ of P1 and P5 rats. The appearance of the Corti's organ of P10 rats trended to maturity. In P14 rats the RyR expression on hair cells located in the synaptic area against the afferent or efferent nerve, and the strain on supporting cells was extensive. There was little different between the strain on cochlea of P14 and P28 rats. In postmature rat spiral ganglion neurons (SGN), the RyR expression verged gradually from extensive whole cell soma to the synaptic area near to the plasma membrane. Conclusion The RyR expression peaked the 14th day after parturition, which was close to that in the mature cochlea. The time course of the RyR expression during the cochlear development was coincident with that of the auditory functional development. The RyR expression on both hair cells and SGNs located in the synaptic area near to the plasmolemma, implying that RyR induced-CICR was related to the auditory functions such as neurotransmission. Extensive RyR expression in the soma of SGNs at the early stage possibly involved in apoptosis of SGNs during neuron development.

The brain computer interface (BCI) can be used to control external devices directly through electroencephalogram (EEG) information. A multi-linear principal component analysis (MPCA) framework was used for the limitations of tensor form of multichannel EEG signals processing based on traditional principal component analysis (PCA) and two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA). Based on MPCA, we used the projection of tensor-matrix to achieve the goal of dimensionality reduction and features exaction. Then we used the Fisher linear classifier to classify the features. Furthermore, we used this novel method on the BCI competition II dataset 4 and BCI competition N dataset 3 in the experiment. The second-order tensor representation of time-space EEG data and the third-order tensor representation of time-space-frequency BEG data were used. The best results that were superior to those from other dimensionality reduction methods were obtained by much debugging on parameter P and testQ. For two-order tensor, the highest accuracy rates could be achieved as 81.0% and 40.1%, and for three-order tensor, the highest accuracy rates were 76.0% and 43.5%, respectively.

Objective To investigate the effect of Sufentainil on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and caspase-3 to rat heart. Methods Ninety Wistar rats weighing 200-300g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=30):sham group(group S), ischemia-reperfusion group (group I/R)and Sufentainil group (group SF). Each group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the time phases at 30, 60 and 120min(n=10).In group I/R and group S the animals were received normal saline intravenously. In group SF sufentainil 5μg/kg NS 20ml was given. After 24 h, all animals were anesthetized with intraperitioneal 20% urethane 1 mg/kg, intubated and mechanically ventilated. The chest was opened and heart exposed via thoracotomy.In group S , left artery anterior descending artery(LAD) was not ocluded. While in I/R and SF group myocardial ischemia was introduced by clamping LAD for40 min. The animals were killed at 30, 60 and 120 min of reperfusion respectively(n=10each). Cardiac tropoin I(cTnI), expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis of cell in heart tissues were measured at the same time.Ultrastructure of myocardium taking the from apex was examined by electron microscopy at the end of 120 min reperfusion. Results Compared with group S, the concentration of cTnI was increased in the other 2 groups(P<0.05).cTnI was significantly lower in group SF than in group I/R(P<0.05). Expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis index induced by myocardial reperfusion were attenuatated in group SF(P<0.05). The damage of myocardial ultrastructure caused by myocardial I/R were also significantly improved in group SF. Conclusion Sufentainil may relieve the heart cellular apoptosis by decreasing caspase-3expressing.
