Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(8):1124-1127
Objective To investigate the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the rela-tionship between ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and the occurrence, the metastasis of colorectal carcinoma, and to analyze the significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining(S-P method) was used to detect the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on consecutive section in 78 cases of colorectal carcinoma and normal mucosa and 42 cases of colorec-tal adenomas. Plasma was obtained from 78 patients with colorectal carcinoma and 40 healthy volunteers prior sur-gery, by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results There was significant difference between the high expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the low expression in normal mucosa and ade-noma(P < 0. 01). Serum ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly higher in patients with colorectal carcinoma than those in normal control group(P < 0. 01). The ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 levels were not related to sex, age, tumor lo-cation and histological grades(P > 0. 05),but had significantly statistical difference between lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage(P < 0. 01). Conclusion The increase expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal cancer suggests that the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 may play an important role in evaluation of malignant degree and judging the progress as well as the mechanism of colorectal cancer.

Objective To realize fully automatic X-ray exposure controlling,simplify operating processes,and improve the quality of images.Methods We designed 5 or 7 X-ray detectors with silicon batteries,improved film-holding board of the main engine of the X-ray machine,then assembled them by mechanical gearing,and thus made multi-measured-limit,automatically-changed X-ray detectors.Results When choosing film boxes according to the radiographed positions,the detectors will change automatically into measured-limits coinciding with the interested positions.The average density was around 1Ⅴ in 9 randomly selected photographs.High quality was achieved in up to 98% of 10 000 radiographed images for clinic radiography.Conclusion The key of X-ray automatic exposure controlling technology is X-ray detecting technology,by which the quality of image can be improved.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow measurement by cine phase contrast MRI. Methods Evaluation of intracranial and intraspinal CSF flow was accomplished by the use of periphery gated cine phase contrast MRI technique. Normal patterns of pulsatile flow within the ventricles, cisterns and cervical subarachnoid space were established by this technique. Results CSF flow within ventricle, cistern and subarachnoid space could be clearly displayed, and the relationships between the cardiac cycle and the CSF pulsations were demonstrated on both magnitude reconstruction and phase reconstruction MR images. Conclusions Cine phase contrast MRI is capable of demonstrating intracranial and intraspinal CSF flow. As a new noninvasive technique, it is really superior than other modalities in studying the flow pattern and direction of CSF.

Objective By using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to observe the residual subretina fluid changes in fovea that may explain visual recovery after anatomically successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RD). Design Prospective observational case series. Participants 34 patients(35 eyes) with successful retinal reattachment after macula involving RD repair. Methods 34 patients were followed up at 3 days, 15 days, 2 months and 6 months after sclera buckling. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), eye fundus status were recorded. The OCT images through the center of the fovea were obtained. Main Outcome Measures The OCT images and BCVA after RD repair. Results The BCVA and OCT images were obtained 3 days to 6 months postoperatively. There were 3 eyes, 5 eyes, 9 eyes and 23 eyes respectively with residual subfovea fluid absorbed totally at 3 days, 15 days, 2 months and 6 months. In the residual subforvea fluid group, the mean visual acuity increased at 0.124?0.013. In the subfovea fluid absorbed group, the mean visual acuity increased at only 0.019?0.006. Conclusions After anatomically successful repair of RD performend with sclera buckling, the minimal residual subforvea fluid will exist for a long time and will be absorbed slowly. This may explain slow increase of postoperative visual acuity after anatomically successful repair.

Purpose To investigate the effects of human vitreous fluid on proliferation of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and vascular endothelial cell lines(VEC304). Methods Human RPE cells and VEC304 were cultured and treated in different human vitreous conditioned medium (VCM) with or without serum, vitreous volume concentrations of VCM were 1∶8, 1∶4 and 1∶2. Cells proliferation was assayed by tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetry at the 2nd, 4th and 6th day respectively. Results In the presence of serum, 1∶4, 1∶2 VCM had a significantly stimulative effect on RPE cells proliferation compared with control group at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th day retrospectively ( P

Objective To describe cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells transdifferentiation and investigate the effects of human vitreous fluid on the morphologic and cytoskeleton changes of RPE cells in vitro. Methods Cytoskeleton characteristics in the 2 nd, 5 th, 8 th passage of RPE cells in normal culture, which included cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) were analyzed by Western blot. RPE cells were cultured in human vitreous-conditioned medium (VCM) at the concentration of 1∶4 for 6 days, morphologic changes were examined by light and electron microscopy, and cytoskeleton characteristics were analyzed by imunocytochemistry and Western blot. Results During culture in vitro, RPE cells lost epithelial characteristics and aquired fibroblast-like phenotype. The expression of CK18 was the highest at the 5 th passage, and it decreased in the following passage, but ?-SMA increased gradually. The morphologic transdifferentiation from epithelial to fibroblast-like cells of RPE was accelerated by VCM. Ultrastructural changes such as decreased microvilli and gradually increased rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex were found during the cultivation. CK18 produced by RPE cells decreased in VMC (P

Objective To assess the efficacy of the prophylactic de-escalation use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation(NPPV) in improvement of oxygenation following extubation after stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods 40 patients recovering from the stanford type A aortic dissection operation in the Center for Cardiac Intensive Care,Beijing Anzhen Hospital between December 2015 and April 2016,and meet the inclusion criterion after extubation,were investigated.The patients were random divided into 2 groups with RandA1.0 software,each group contained 20 patients:NPPV with mask vs.traditional oxygen treatment with mask.NPPV initial 2 h(started from extubation) settings:inspiratory pressure(IPAP) of 14-16 cmH2 O,expiratory pressure (EPAP) of 6-8 cmH2 O,the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 0.35-0.55.2-8 h the parameters of setting were decreased:IPAP l0-12 cmH2 O,EPAP 4 cmH2 O.After 8 h the NPPV was finished and the oxygen treatment instead.The oxygen treatment settings:the flux inhalation of oxygen was 6-10 L/min,and FiO2 was adjusted to 0.35-0.55.Make a comparison with the two groups in the clinical effect at 2 h,8 h,24 h,3 days,and to compare their reintubation rate.Results PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were higher in the prophylactic NPPV group compared to oxygen treatment group after 2 h [94.7(89.7,100.1) mmHg vs.84.5(78.7,87.1) mmHg,P <0.05.(192.7 ±31.2) mmHg vs.(167.0 ± 18.9) mmHg,P<0.05],8 h[99.1(90.3,132.8) mmHgvs.86.3(82.3,95.6) mmHg,P<0.05.198.2(180.5,246.2) mmHg vs.172.5(164.7,191.2) mmHg,P <0.05],24 h[(100.0 ± 18.9) mmHg vs.(87.3 ±12.9) mmHg,P< 0.05.(197.5±36.8) mmHgvs.(170.1 ±29.8) mmHg,P<0.05] and3 days[98.2(87.4,110.5)mmHg vs.86.8 (79.4,89.6) mmHg,P < 0.05.(193.2 ± 37.1) mmHg vs.(164.4 ± 23.8) mmHg,P < 0.05],and respiratory rate was lower in the NPPV group at the same time.Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were lower in the NPPV group at 24 h and 3 days.At 3 days in the NPPV group PaCO2 was lower,and left ventricular ejection fraction was improved.But the treatment of traditional oxygen leaded to a higher incidence of pulmonary atelectasis,and more longer hospitalization time.Conclusion In the early stage after extubation,prophylactic de-escalation therapy of NPPV for patients following operation of stanford type A aortic dissection,may quickly improve PaO2/FiO2,and increase the function of heart,avoid atelectasis.Furthermore,hospital stay was eventually shortened in NPPV group.
