Objective To observe the effect of methylprednisolone (MP) pre-intervention on ex-pressions of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in cells in rat spinal cord following ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods One hundred and fifty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 equal groups: group A (control) in which the abdominal aorta was exposed without any treatment, group B in which the abdominal aorta was clipped for 30 minutes before reperfusion for 3 bours to establish a model of ischemia- reperfusion injury, and group C in which intravenous MP injection was conducted 30 minutes before the establishment of the ischemia-reperfusion injury model. Three hours later the spinal cords were harvested. Pathological changes of spinal cord cells were observed with HE staining and expressions of HSP27 and TNF-α in spinal cord cells were observed with immunohistochemical staining. The motor function of hind-limbs before was evaluated before sample harvest. The data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results There were significant differences between groups A and B in the expressions of TNF-α and HSP27. Compared with group B, the expression of TNF-α decreased and HSP27 increased in group C, with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups. The motor function score of hind-limbs decreased in group B but improved in group C. Conclusions Since MP can decrease the expression of TNF-α and up-regulate the expression of HSP27, it has a potency of neuro-protection. Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury can be avoided or decreased after MP pre-intervention.

Objective To observe the changes in red cell distribution width (RDW)and plasma N -terminal pro -brain natriuretic peptide(NT -proBNP)in children with chronic heart failure due to congenital heart disease (CHD),and to investigate their correlations with cardiac function.Methods Eighty -four children with chronic heart failure and pneumonia secondary to CHD who were hospitalized in Wuhan Health Care Center for Women and Children from January to December 201 4 were enrolled.According to the modified Ross scoring system,they were divided into 3 subgroups:mild,moderate and severe heart failure subgroups.Forty -five children with pneumonia who were hospitali-zed during the same period were randomly selected as the control group.Then the levels of RDW and plasma NT -proBNP were compared in each group,and the correlation between RDW and NT -proBNP was analyzed.Results The levels of RDW and plasma NT -proBNP in children with heart failure caused by CHD were significantly higher than those of the control group[(1 5.6 ±2.2)% vs (1 3.7 ±1 .5)%,(3 252.9 ±1 061 .5)ng/L vs (67.4 ±1 7.9)ng/L, t =5.51 8,7.838,all P <0.01 ].NT -proBNP levels were gradually increased along with increasing heart failure grade, and there were statistically significant differences[(1 71 8.3 ±456.2)ng/L vs (3 371 .4 ±834.2)ng/L vs (4 681 .2 ± 1 21 4.8)ng/L,F =1 5.961 ,P <0.01 ].RDW levels also increased gradually,while there were no statistically signifi-cant differences[(1 5.2 ±1 .5)% vs (1 5.7 ±2.0)% vs (1 6.0 ±2.8)%,F =2.246,P >0.05].There was no signifi-cant correlation between RDMand NT -proBNP (r =0.1 34,P >0.05).Conclusions For children with CHD,higher RDW and NT -proBNP levels can aid in the diagnosis of chronic heart failure,and NT -proBNP level is associated with the severity of heart failure,yet it is still unclear whether RDW level can reflect the severity of heart failure.

Objective To evaluate the differences in image quality and radiation dose in the neck CTA between low tube voltage scanning method combined with exact calculation of contrast dosage and conventional scanning methods.Methods Ninety patients who had undergone neck CTA examination from October 2012 to June 2013 were prospectively selected to perform study.Patients were randomly divided into Group A,B and C,each with 30 cases.Tube voltage and contrast amount were,respectively,120 kV and 70-80 ml for Group A (conventional group),100 kV and exact calculation for Group B,80 kV and exact calculation for Group C.Using ANOVA test,radiation dose,contrast amount,CNR were statistically analyzed among three groups.Subjective evaluations were made of image quality by two experienced radiologists based on a 5-point system.Results The effective doses in Group B and C were (4.5 ± 0.7) mSv and (2.1 ± 0.4) mSv,respectively,significantly lower than (6.6 ± 0.9) mSv in Group A,with statistically significant difference(F =72.4,P ＜ 0.05).The amounts of contrast were significantly lower in Group B and C than that in Group A,which respectively were (73.2 ± 8.2) ml for Group A and (48.2 ± 5.1) for Group B and (48.6 ± 5.4) ml for Group C,with statistically significant difference (F =56.8,P ＜ 0.05).CNRs increased respectively by 42.2％ in Group B and by 42.2％ in Group C compared with Group A,with statistically significant difference (F =72.6,P ＜ 0.05).Venous artifact images were found in 10 patients of Group A,having different effects on image quality,whereas in Group B and C,there were not vein artifacts to found.Conclusions The low tube voltage (80 kV) scanning method combined with exact calculation of contrast features not only significantly lower radiation dose and lower contrast amount used,but also improved image quality in comparison with conventional method.
