Objective To investigate clinical and imaging features of malignant transformation in monostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD).Methods Radiography (n=12),computed tomography (CT)(n=7)and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)(n=5)data of 12 monostotic FD cases proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Results Among 12 cases,6 cases underwent surgery.Their images showed osteolytic lesions in the operative area with direct signs of aggressiveness (poorly defined margin,cor-tical destruction and soft tissue mass).For the 6 cases without surgery,radiography and CT showed poorly margin,osteolytic le-sions within or near the area of ground-glass opacity.MRI showed lesions with heterogeneous signal intensity and pronounced con-trast-enhancement.Histopathologically,9 cases were osteosarcomas,2 cases were fibrosarcomas,and 1 case was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH).Conclusion The imaging information of malignant transformation of FD can provide evidence of possible ma-lignancy.

Objective To investigate the change of lung function in children with atypical asthma and different lung function index to evaluate the difference of bronchial dilation test positive rate.Methods Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children routine monitoring lung function,underwent bronchial dilation test,the airway index changes were observed.Results Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children with big airways function index of forced expiratory volume in first second FEV1,percentage of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) were basic normal,and the reaction of small airways function index of forced expiratory flow at 25％ of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 50％ of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 75％ of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 25％-75％ of FVC were decreased in different degrees,and mainly for medium and severe damage.FEV1 as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test diastolic was 47.9％ (34/71),and forced expiratory flow rate at 25％-75％ in FVC as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test was 69.0％ (49/71),there was significant difference (x2 =8.086,P =0.004).Conclusions Lung function changes in atypical asthma children are mainly on small airways,and mainly for medium and severe damage,the bronchial dilation test positive rate in such children using the evaluation,forced expiratory flow rate at 25％-75％ in FVC can assist FEV1,decrease the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

The action of BTHP on a-adrenoceptor was studied in anococcy-geus muscles, vas deferens and cell membrane of cerebral cortex of rats and aortic strips, saphenous vein of rabbit. BTHP produced parallel shifts to the right of dose-response curves for phenylephrine in rat anococcygeus muscle and rabbit aortic strips without change in the maximal responses. Their pA2 values were 5.8 and 5.86 respectively. BTHP was also a competitive antagonist for presynaptic and postsynaptic ?2-adrenoceptors on prostatic portion of rat vas deferens( pA2 against clonidine=5.2 ) and on rabbit saphenous vein ( pA2 against B-HT920=5.3 ) . BTHP decreased in dose-dependent manner 〔8H〕 prazosin and 〔3H〕 clonidine specific binding to ?1- and ?2- adrenoceptors on cell membrane of cerebral cortex in rats with IC50 of4 and 9.5 ?mol/L and with Ki ( apparent dissociation constant ) of 3.5 and 8.1?mol/L respectively, suggeating that BTHP has affinity for both ?1 and ?2- adrenoceptors of rat cerebrance.

Objective: To explore therapeutic effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on rehabilitation in patients with stroke hemiplegia.Methods: A total of 136 patients with stroke hemiplegia were selected and divided into routine rehabilitation group and modified rehabilitation group.After 12 weeks, scores of Fugal-Meyer motor assessment (FMA), modified Barthel index (MBI) and Berg balance scale (BBS), 6min walking distance (6MWD), psychological state and quality of life (QOL) were compared between two groups.Results: After 12 weeks, there were significant rise in scores of FMA, MBI and BBS and 6MWD, and significant reductions in scores of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) in two groups, P<0.05 all.Compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant rise in scores of FMA [(53.23±5.13) scores vs.(60.67±5.67) scores], MBI [(57.83±6.11) scores vs.(69.93±6.74) scores] and BBS [(41.45±4.12) scores vs.(50.53±4.56) scores] and 6MWD [(179.46±24.62)m vs.(211.34±26.71)m], and significant reductions in scores of SAS [(50.75±2.56) scores vs.(41.11±1.53) scores] and SDS [(51.34±3.35) scores vs.(40.78±2.11) scores] in modified rehabilitation group, P<0.05 all.Compared with before rehabilitation, there were significant rise in physiological, psychological, social and setting dimension scores in both groups after rehabilitation, and those of modified rehabilitation group were significantly higher than those of routine rehabilitation group, P<0.05 all.Conclusion:Modified constraint-induced movement therapy can significantly improve movement, balance function, and anxiety, depression and daily living capacities in patients with stroke hemiplegia.

Objective To analyze the imaging characteristics and the diagnostic value of conventional MRI and indirect MR arthrography in shoulder joint injury.Methods MR imaging in90 patients with shoulder joint disease were retrospectively analyzed by two musculoskeletal radiologist based on the results of arthroseopic examination,including 57 cases of rotator cuff disease and 33 cases of recurrent shoulder instability.The result of the indirect MR arthrography and conventional MR was statistically compared by Fisher exact probability test.Results (1)In the group of rotator cuff disease,37 patients underwent indirect MRA,demonstrating 10 cases of partial-thickness rotator cuff tear and 1 case of missed diagnosis;demonstrating 17 cases of full-thickness rotator cuff tear and 2 cases of misdiagnosis.For partialthickness rotator cuff tear,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of indirect MR arthrography were 90.9%(10/11),92.3%(24/26),and 91.9%(34/37),respectively;for full-thickness rotator cuff tear,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of indirect MR arthrography were 89.5%(17/19),94.4%(17/18),and 91.9%(34/37),respectively.Indirect MR arthrography in the diagnosis of partial and full thickness rotator cuff was significantly better than conventional MR(P＜0.05).(2)In the group of recurrent shoulder instability,labium tear was found in 26 cases,Hill-sachs lesion in 27,reverse Hill-sachs in 2,bony Bankart lesion in 7,and capsular tear in 18 cases,respectively.Twenty patients underwent indirect MRA,demonstrating 14 cases of labrum tear,1 case of missed diagnosis,and 5 cases of normal labrum.For labrum tear,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of indirect MR arthrography were 93.3%(14/15),100.0%(5/5),and 95.0%(19/20),respectively.Indirect MR arthrography in the diagnosis of labrum tear was significantly better than conventional MR(P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI,especially indirect MR arthrography,is the most helpful method for the diagnoses of shoulder joint injury.

Background Diclofenac sodium eye drops,pranoprofen eye drops and bromfenac sodium hydrate eye drops are three clinical commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs).The variation of cytoxicity among these drugs and whether the cytoxicity is related to the supplements are also unknown.Objective This study was to compare the cytotoxicity of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops and their active components with cultured human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) in vitro,and to discuss toxic origins of these drugs.Methods HCECs were cultured in different drugs with the final concentration of 0.10％,0.05％,0.02％ and 0.01％.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay.Then,0.002％ eye drops (1∶50) was added,and the migration and damage of the cells were deceted by transwell migration assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay.Results The cytotoxicity of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops on HCECs was concentration-dependent (all at P=0.00).Diclofenac sodium eye drops showed the most dominant effects on the proliferation,migration and damage of HCECs among the three eye drops,while bromfenac sodium eye drops showed the least effect on the cell damage (proliferation:Fdrug =20.25,P=0.00;migration:F =103.43,P =0.00;damage:Fdrug =164.16,P =0.00).Compared with the eye drops,their active components showed less cytoxicity.Pranoprofen appeared the least effects on the proliferation,migration and damage of HCECs (proliferation:Fdrug =332.27,P =0.00;migration:F =332.27,P =0.00;damage:Fdrug=154.83,P=0.00).Conclusions The cytotoxicity ofdiclofenac sodium eye drops is more obvious than that of pranoprofen eye drops or bromfenac sodium hydrate eye drops.The cytotoxicity of the three eye drops originates from their supplements or the interaction between the supplements and active components.

Background Limbal stem cells (LSCs) play an important role on the stability of corneal epithelium and corneal transparency.Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor can promote cell proliferation and reduce apoptosis,such as human embryonic stem cells and karatin epithelial cells.Objective This study was to investigate the improving effect of Y-27632,a ROCK inhibitor,on the activity of rabbit LSCs in corneal preservation medium.Methods Corneal preservation solution was prepared by adding 12.5％ chondroitin sulfate,10.0％ low molecular dextran,20.0 mg/L dexamethasone,100 mg/L tobramycin sulfate,9.5 g/L Hepes and 0.375 mg/L L-glutamine in MEM.The corneas of New Zealand white rabbits were collected and preserved in the corneal preservation solution with or without Y-27632 for 4,7,14 days,and the density and morphology of corneal endothelial cells were examined by using 0.25％ trypan blue staining and 0.2％ alizarin red staining.Isolated corneal epithelial cells were seeded on 3T3 feeder layer and cultured for 7-10 days until colonies formation.Colony shape of LSCs was observed under the light microscope,and colony-formation efficiency was analyzed after Giemsa staining by Image J software.Results The morphology and density of corneal endothelial cells were normal in the corneal preservation solution with and without Y-27632 for 4 days.In the seventh day after preservation,the cells remained the regular hexagon in shape in the preservation solution with Y-27632,however,the cellular membrane was slightly shrinking with the positive staining for alizarin red in the preservation solution without Y-27632.The density of corneal endothelial cells in the corneal preservation solution without Y-27632 was (2 262-± 75) cells /mm2,while in the preservation solution with Y-27632 was (2 425 ±95) cells/mm2(P＜0.001).The cloning spheres of LSCs were similar in preservation solution both with and without Y-27632 in the freshly isolated cornea or preserved corneas and exhibited more cells inside.But in 7 days and 14 days after preservation,the cloning spheres were much smaller in the preservation solution without Y-27632 group than those in the preservation with Y-27632 group.No significant differences were found in the cloning-formation rate and survival rate of corneal epithelial cells in corneas freshly isolated or preserved for 4 days in both groups (all at P＞0.05).In 7 days and 14 days after preservation,the active rates of corneal epitheli.al cells were (73.00±2.12)％ and (56.00±0.71)％ in the preservation solution with Y27632,which were significantly higher than (66.00 ± 4.00) ％ and (49.00 ± 0.71) ％ in the preservation solution without Y-27632,showing statistically significant differences between them (t =3.098,P =0.018;t =9.798,P =0.000).In addition,the cloning-formation rates of LSCs were (11.05±0.21)％ and (3.10±1.97)％ in the preservation solution with Y-27632 in 7 days and 14 days after preservation,revealing significantly elevation in comparison with (2.05 ± 1.20) ％ and (0.40 ±0.14) ％ in the preservation solution without Y-27632 (t =18.107,P =0.000;t=3.184,P=0.017).Conclusions Y-27632 promotes the vitality and cloning-formation ability of LSCs in corneal preservation medium,suggesting its potential use during storage of cornea.

In order to construct a single chain fragment variable (ScFv) phage display library against ovarian tumor, by using RT-PCR, the human heavy chain variable region genes (VH) and light chain variable region genes (VL) were amplified from lymphocytes of ovarian tumor patients and subsequently assembled into ScFv genes by SOE. The resulting ScFv genes were electrotransformed into E. coli TG1 and amplified with the co-infection of helper phage M13KO7 to obtain phage display library. The capacity and titer of the resulting library were detected. The phage antibody library with a capacity of approximately 3 x 10(9) cfu/microg was obtained. After amplification with helper phage, the titer of antibody library reached 5 x 10(12) cfu/mL. Human ScFv library against ovarian tumor was constructed successfully, which laid a foundation for the screening of ovarian tumor specific ScFv for the radioimmunoimaging diagnosis of ovarian tumor.

Objective To investigate the relationship between heart rate variability and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in Kirgiz and Han,to understand the differences between ethnic groups,at the same time to provide effective method for type 2 diabetic autonomic neuropathy.Methods 24 -h Holter recording was performed in 1 46 individuals.75 cases of T2DMconfirmed by glycolated hemoglobin(HbA1 c)were selected as observation group, Kirgiz 40 people,Han 35 people.While 71 subjects without T2DM were chosen as control group,Kirgiz 34 people, Han 37 people.The HRV indices,including standard deviation (SD)for the time between normal -to -normal complexes in the entire 24 h electrocardiographic recording(SDNN),the average of SD for the time between normal -to -normal intervals for each 5 min period(SDNN5),the percentage of adjacent RR intervals 50 ms apart(PNN50), normal RR intervals divided by RR intervals derived from the triangle index(TRIA),SD of the average normal -to -normal intervals for each 5 min period (SDANN)and root -mean square of differences of successive RR intervals (RMSSD)were compared between these groups.Results There were no significant differences in age,gender, education level and smoking between Kirgiz and Han patients.The differences were statistically significant in SDNN, SDNN5,PNN50,SDANN,TRIA(t =3.392,P =0.001 ;t =3.652,P =0.001 ;t =3.826,P =0.001 ;t =3.235,P =0.002;t =2.378,P =0.02)between patients with or without T2DMin Kirgiz population.In contrast,the mean square root of SDNN,SDNN5,PNN50,TRIA,RMSSD(t =3.498,P =0.001 ;t =3.41 4,P =0.001 ;t =2.1 05,P =0.039;t =2.1 02,P =0.039;t =3.41 3,P =0.001 )were statistically significant in Han population between T2DM patients and nondiabetic patients.There was no deference between Han and Kirgiz patients without T2DM in HRV,whereas the TRIA(t =2.887,P =0.005 )had significant difference in T2DM patients between Han and Kirgiz population. Conclusion The HRV is significantly reduced in the T2DMpatients,especially the Kirgiz.The HRV analysis using 24h Holter is a noninvasive technology to detect the T2DM.
