Objective To investigate the correlation of plasma heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) level and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods The outpatient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing oral glucose tolerance test and healthy individuals with physical examination were divided into T2DM group and healthy control group, the differences between the two groups in HO-1 and methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA), mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were comparatively analysed , and analyzed the correlations between HO-1 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) MFI, MDA, HOMA-IR and FBG. Results The type 2 diabetes group in MDA and MFI, the expression rate of HO-1 were higher than those of control group (P<0.05), correlation analysis of expression of HO-1 was positively correlated with MFI, MDA (r=0.489, 0.763, P<0.05) in the T2DM group, HO-1, HOMA-IR and FBG were significantly higher than the healthy control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The expression of HO-1 and HOMA-IR and FPG levels were positively correlated in the T2DM group (r=0.271, 0.426, P <0.05). Conclusion T2DM patients with hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, plasma HO-1 expression is significantly increased, HO-1 is related to oxidative stress, insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, which has certain value on clinical assessment of T2DM and therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the application of respiratory navigator echo triggered black blood contrast FSE in cardiac MRI. Methods The respiratory navigator echo trigger technique combining with black blood FSE (NAV-FSE) was tested on 11 volunteers and 5 patients in free breathing,using breath-hold FSE (BH-FSE) with the same imaging protocals as control. The imaging efficiency and the image sharpness were compared between NAV-FSE and BH-FSE and t-test was used for the statistics. Results All NAV-FSE acquisitions were completed in sixteen subjects while 4 BH-FSE acquisitions failed because of poor breath holding. The efficiencies of NAV-FSE were (42. 95±11.50)%, (56. 14±11.40)% and (55.25± 14. 70)% when echo train length (ETL) were 24, 16 and 8, respectively. When ETL were 16 and 24, the sharpness of NAV-FSE ( 0. 43±0. 02 vs 0. 36±0. 02 ) and BH-FSE ( 0. 36±0. 03 vs 0. 35±0. 02 ) were statistically different (t =4. 26, 5. 53 ,respectively; P <0. 05). NAV-FSE could have a shorter ETL setting without consideration of breath holding. Conclusion The navigator echo trigger technique could be compatible with black blood contrast FSE to image the heart without the restriction of breath holding and it allows to optimize the parameters to improve the image quality.

Objective In order to provide the basis for establishment of food allergy models , we compared the differences of sensitivity and alterations of intestinal flora of food allergy models in two strains of mice .Methods Forty 4-5-week old female BALB/c and Kunmimg mice were divided into control group ( n=10) and food allergy goup ( n=30), respectively.Ovalbumin (OVA) was injected to the mice to establish food allergy models .Serum OVA-specific IgE of the mice was assayed by ELISA .The jejunum tissue was examined by pathology with HE staining .The changes of fecal flora were detected by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).Results (1)Among the sensitized 60 mice, OVA-sIgE levels were significantly increased in 27/30 BALB/c mice and 21/30 KM mice compared with those of control groups(P<0.001).Moreover, there were more evident inflammatory cell infiltration , epithelial cell shedding and cytolysis in the jejunal villi of BALB/c mice than those of KM mice.(2) After food allergy modeling, there were significant changes of intestinal flora in the BALB/c mice (P<0.001), while only significant change of evenness was found in the KM mice (P<0.05).(3)There were changes of abundance , Shannon index and evenness of intestinal flora in the model groups of BALB/c and KM mice.Conclusions BALB/c mice are more sensitive to OVA allergy than KM mice .The composition of intestinal flora is different among different strains of mice .The changes of intestinal flora after OVA challenge in BALB /c mice are more obvious than those in KM mice .

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the functional outcomes of modified limited "L" incision beside the Achilles tendon with distraction bone block arthrodesis in treatment of subtalar osteoarthritis.

METHODSFrom March 2009 to September 2012, a total of 22 cases of old calcaneus fractures with subtalar osteoarthritis were treated with modified limited "L" incision and distraction bone block arthrodesis including 13 males and 9 females with a mean age of 35.3 years old (ranged 22 to 49). The mean time from calcaneal fracture was 21 months (ranged 11 to 32). According to the Stephens-Sanders classification, 16 cases were type II and 6 were type III. The modified-AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was used for functional outcomes evaluation.

RESULTSThere was one incision necrosis and no infection, implant failure, bone-graft absorbed or talus necrosis was note at the follow-up time. A total of 21 cases were followed up for a mean time of 29 months (ranged from 18 to 46 months). All of the cases reached a bony union within 4 months postoperation. The mean modified-AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 82.6 points (ranged from 66 to 92 points),reached a significantly improvement in comparing with the mean preoperative score (50.8 points,ranged from 32 to 65 points, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe modified limited"L" incision beside the Achilles tendon with distraction bone block arthrodesis is an acceptable and alternative treatment method for subtalar osteoarthritis. This method is easy to use and with less complication. It can correct the main pathological changes and reach good functional outcomes.

ObjectiveTo explore the childhood trauma experience and its relation to the eye emotion recognition ability in patients with schizophrenia.MethodsSeventy-one schizophrenic patients and fifty-two healthy subjects were assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Eye Basic Emotion Discrimination Task (EBEDT).ResultsThe CTQ total score in the patients group was significantly higher than those in the control group (47.86 ± 13.26 vs 34.27 ± 7.27,P ＜ 0.01 ).The subscores in emotional abuse,physical abuse,sexual abuse,emotional neglect and physical neglect of CTQ in the patients group were also significantly higher than those in the control group.(all P＜ 0.01 ).Compared with controls,the patients had significantly lower total accuracy( (86.74 ± 6.16vs73.42 ± 11.86) ％,P ＜ 0.01 ) and longer total reaction time ( (2776.75 ± 703.42 vs 4321.40 ± 1956.83 )ms,P ＜ 0.01 )of EBEDT.The significant difference were also found on the accuracy and reaction time of the EBEDT six basic emotion between the two groups ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).Correlation analysis indicated that CTQ total score were negatively correlated with the EBEDT total accuracy ( r=-0.390,P＜0.01 ),and its sub-accuracy of happiness,surprise,sadness,and anger ( respectively r =- 0.419,r =- 0.451,r =- 0.391,r =- 0.344,P ＜ 0.01 ) in the patients group.The correlation between CTQ total score and EBEDT total accuracy was also found in the control group.ConclusionChildhood trauma is related to eye basic emotion recognition in schizophrenia patients,suggesting that the trauma during childhood can affect the social recognition ability.

Objective To study the MR imaging characteristics of benign cerebellar astrocytomas(BCAs) in children. Methods The clinical and MR imaging data of twelve patients with BCAs were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 12 tumors, 7 cases were located in the cerebellar hemisphere, 4 in the vermis, and 1 in the IV ventricle. All children were in company with hydrocephalus rated as extensive (n=9) or moderate (n=3). The tumors ranged in diameter from 23 mm to 68 mm, mean diameter 42 mm. Solid tumors were found in 5 children, and cystic areas occurred in 7 of 12 patients.BCAs were hypointense on T 1-weighted in 10 cases, and hyperintense on T 2WI in 9 cases compared with that of normal brain parenchyma. After contrast injection, BCAs marked (n=2), moderate (n=5), or absent (n=5) enhancement. Hemorrhage and calcification were not common (n=1,0, respectively).Conclusion BCAs has relative characteristic features on MRI in children, and MRI plays an important role in diagnosing and evaluating these tumors preoperatively.

Objective To investigate the morbidity of cholecystic disease in renal transplant candidates and study the indications of prophylactic laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) for renal transplant candidates with cholecystic disease. Methods The incidence of cholecystic disease in 286 renal transplant candidates in our institution in recent four years was retrospectively reviewed.All the candidates had received one or more ultrasonographic examinations. Results Cholecystic disease was found in 32 of 286 candidates ((11.1)%), including cholelithiasis in twenty(62.4%, 20/32), sludge in six(18.8%, 6/32)and polypoid lesion in six(18.8%, 6/32). Cholecystectomy had been performed in twenty candidates with symptomatic chronic cholecystitis before transplantation, including LC in fourteen and open cholecystectomy with small incision in six .Five of twelve candidates without symptoms received prophylactic LC electively .In three of the other 7 candidates acute cholecystitis occured within six month after transplantation.There was no death of the (candidates) and no grafts function loss occurred in this series. Conclusions Cholelithiasis is the major cause of cholecystic disease in renal transplant candidates. Electively prophylactic LC is recommended for the (candidates) with or without symptomatic cholecystitis before transplantation or before acute cholecystitis has (occured).
