Objective To investigate the mechanism of body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) and electroacupuncture (EA)for spinal cord injury. Methods 56 adult SD rats were divided into control group (n=16), EA group (n=16), BWSTT-EA group (n=16) andblank group (n=8). They were treated 3 d after operation, and assessed with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scale and the brain-derived neurotrophicfactor (BDNF) was measured in injured tissue with real time immunohistochemisty assay 1 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d after treatment. ResultsThe score of BBB was significantly higher in the BWSTT- EA group than in control group and EA group 1 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d after treatment(P<0.05), as well as the expression of BDNF (P<0.05). Conclusion BWSTT and EA can promote the recovery of spinal cord injury,which may associate with the expression of BDNF in injured tissue.

Objective To explore the predicative value of transvaginal ultrasonography and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for ectopic pregnancy(EP).Methods A total of 90 patients in our hospital from June 2014 to May 2016 were selected as the object according to the pregnancy result and postoperative pathology (40 cases in EP group and 50 cases in control group).The endometrial thickness was measured through transvaginal ultrasonography while blood HCG was detected by chemiluminescence technique and 48 hours blood HCG ratio was calculated.To evaluate the individual and combined predicative value of endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio for EP,receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) were generated and logistic regression analysis was conducted.Results The endometriam thickness and 48 h blood HCG ratio of EP group were (11.75 ± 3.42) mm and (1.06 ± 0.38) ％,respectively,which were lower than (15.52 ± 3.98) mm and (1.46 ± 0.20)％ of control group,the differences were statistically significant (P =0.000).The AUCs and their corresponding 95％ confidential intervals(CI) were 0.77[95％ CI(0.67,0.87)] and 0.82[95％ CI(0.73,0.91)],respectively.Combined ROC analysis based on the 2 indexes revealed an elevated AUC of 0.89 [95％ CI(0.83,0.95)],the differences were statistically significant(P =0.04).Conclusion The endometrial thickness and 48 hours blood HCG ratio can be acted as useful predicative biomarkers for detection of EP.A combination of the two indexes could be a useful predicative biomarker for future clinical trials with EP and may act as a suitable add-on biomarker to the panel of methods already existing for EP.

Objective To analyze the features of normal high-frequency ultrasonography of tarsal tunnel. Methods Forty volunteers (20 males and 20 females) were examined with high-frequency ultrasound (12 MHz). The tendons,nerve and blood vessels in tarsal tunnel were observed from short-axis and long-axis views dynamically. The areas of tarsal tunnel and posterior tibial nerve were measured and com-pared between the males and females. Results High-frequency ultrasonography depicted the anatomical structure of tarsal tunnel,and the tendons,nerve and blood vessels presented different sonographic features that were easy to differentiate. The area of tarsal tunnel: male (7.61 ±1.00) cm2,female (6. 61 ± 1. 07) cm2 (P <0. 01). The area of posterior tibial nerve: male (9. 59 ± 0. 75) mm2,female (8.91 ±0.74) mm2(P<0.01). Conclusion High-frequency ultrasonography can clearly show and accurately measure the tarsal tunnel structure. To be familiar with the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of tarsal tunnel will help to improve the efficacy of ultrasound diagnosis of tarsal tunnel abnormalities.

Objective To investigate the value of high frequency ultrasound and CT in the diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods Sixty-nine cases of laryngeal carcinoma were typed and staged by high frequency ultrasound and CT, and compared with the results of laryngoscopy and postsurgical pathology. Results The typing accuracy was ~94.2 % for ultrasonography and ~91.3 % for CT, higher than that of laryngoscopy(~73.9 %).T staging accuracy of ultrasonography was T_1 ~85.9 %,T_2 ~88.5 %,T_3 ~94.1 % and T_4 ~88.9 %, higher than that of CT (~68.8 %) and laryngoscopy (~75.0 %) in T_3 stage and superior to laryngoscopy (~66.7 %) in T_4 stage. Lymph node metastases were found in 37 cases (~53.6 %) by ultrasonography, higher than those by CT scanning (~27.5 %). Color Doppler blood flow laryngeal carcinoma was shown in 65 cases(~94.2 %),most were low resistance spectrum pattern. Conclusions High frequency ultrasonography is superior to CT and laryngoscopy in the staging of laryngeal carcinoma and is of great value in choosing the therapeutical protocol.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between liver stiffness and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in chronic heptatitis B patients with negative α-fetoprotein (AFP) tests. MethodsFrom September 2012 to August 2014, this study enrolled a total of 82 HBV-relative native HCC patients as the case group. During the same period, a total of 253 chronic hepatitis B patients were also include in this study as the control group. These 253 patients were followed up for six months. All of the two groups were AFP-negative. Liver stiffness was measured in all patients by transient elastography device Fibroscan?. Logistic regression was applied to assess the risk of HCC incidence, and stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLR) was calculated.ResultsThe age, liver stiffness measurements and plasma albumin of patients in case group were 53 years old (44-61), 12.00 kPa (7.50-20.75), 43.14 g/L (39.50-46.75) respectively. The age, liver stiffness measurements and plasma albumin of patients in control group were 45 years old (38-56), 8.40 kPa (5.40-13.50), 46.40 g/L (43.75-48.50) respectively. The variables were compared between two groups with unpaired studentt test, and the results were statistically significant (t=4.33, 3.56,
-4.48,P=0.00, 0.00, 0.00). The patients in case group were older, and had higher liver stiffness measurements and lower plasma albumin than that of the patients in control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that HCC incidence was associated with age,male-gender and liver stiffness, and the odds ratios (OR) was 1.053, 2.432, 6.803 respectively. When liver stiffness was<10 kPa, 10.1-15 kPa, 15.1-25 kPa,>25 kPa, SSLR for HCC presence was 0.67, 1.02,1.44, 3.98 respectively.ConclusionsLiver stiffness measured by transient elastography is useful in predicting the risk of HCC incidence in AFP-negative chronic heptatitis B patients. Clinicians needed to carry out close follow-up and appropriate intervention for these patients.

Objective:To provide imaging evidence for the treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction by the injection of sodium hyaluronate into temporomandibular joint (TMJ).Methods:40 patients with anterior disc displacement without reduction were injected 3 times with sodium hyaluronate into the TMJ.Patient's TMJ and clinical symptoms were examined 3,9 and 12 months after treatment.The clinical parameters of Fricton's Craniomandibular Index(Fricton index),maximal mouth opening(MMO),pain intensity of a visual analog scale(VAS) and CBCT radiographic data of 48 TMJs from 40 patients were analysed.Results:The CBCT images showed that at 9 and 12 months follow-up the surface of the condylus became smooth,the density of the cortical bone and the adjacent subcortical bone increased and osteophyte in condylar head decreased(P =0.026,P =0.001).As for disc displacement without osteoarthritts,9 months after treatment condylus were moved forward(P =0.038).VAS and Fricton index were reduced(P ＜0.05),MMO was increased (P ＜ 0.05).3-12 months after treatment,there was no statistical difference of Fricton index (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion:Injection of sodium hyaluronate into TMJ can remodel the condylar bone surface but cant make condyle back to the middle of acetabulum.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation(Tang's Approach) on the spasticity after stroke.Methods39 stroke patients with spasm were divided into observation group and control group. The observation group received anti-spasm acupuncture combined with rehabilitation therapy, while the control group received baclofen combined with rehabilitation therapy.
