0.05). Conclusion The defecation function was similar between CPP group and CJP group. Therefore, the coloplasty pouch seems to be superior because of feasibility, simplicity, and effectiveness.

Objective To study the CT performances and literature review of myoepithelioma (ME)of the parotid gland,to improve the recognition and diagnostic accuracy of this disease.Methods The CT findings of 1 2 cases with ME of the parotid gland confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively,the characteristics of the age of onset,gender,size,location,density,boundary and enhancement were analyzed.And then,the related literatures were reviewed.Results Among the 1 2 patients,5 were male and 7 were female,age ranged from 11 to 68 years old,with a median age of 45.2 years.2 patients had the symptom of tenderness and fever, and the other 10 patients were asymptomatic and painless preauricular mass,2 of which were gradually enlarged.All the tumors were single in this study,2 had visible capsule infiltration or unclear boundaries,and other 10 had intact or smooth edges.CT showed that the masses all located in the parotid gland(1 in the deep lobe and 11 in the superficial lobe).The diameter of the tumor was 10 mm to 50 mm,with an average of 29.1 mm.The density was uniform in 2 cases and irregular cystic degeneration and necrosis in the other 10 cases.Mild enhancement was found in the arteriovenous phase after enhanced scanning,in which 8 cases had marginal enhancement or nodular enhancement in the arterial phase,and gradual filling into the center in the venous phase.Conclusion The CT performances of ME of the parotid gland have define characteristics.The possibility of myoepithelioma of the parotid gland should be taken into account when it has continuous centripetal reinforcement after enhancement,combing with the single cystic solid mass with clear boundary in superficial lobe of the parotid gland.Malignant myoepithelioma (MM)should be considered when the tumor envelope is incomplete or the boundary with the surrounding structure is not clear.

Induced by a variety of retinopathy, visual loss has become the most serious form of disability, which influences the quality of human life. With the rapid development and crossing among the information science, microelectronics, material science and biomedical disciplines, the visual prosthesis makes reparation possible for the visual blindness caused by retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, and other eye, retina, optic nerve and visual cortex lesions. With technology innovation, the prosthesis design, manufacturing and surgical technique are no longer the biggest obstacles to the future development of the visual prosthesis, but how to construct effective transmission of information between the brain and the prosthesis. However, due to the complex structure of the human visual system, the visual prosthesis manufacturing and visual information signal mapping are facing some difficulties. Thus, we can only study the representation strategy of image information and micro-electrode array stimulation basing on limited pixels of simulated prosthesis visual information. By studying the visual information processing of the visual prosthesis, we propose a visual prosthesis design which is based on biological, mechanical, and electronic integration.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of sodium hydrosulfide(NaHS)on cerebral cortical injury in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods A total of 80 male SD rats were divided into a sham operation group,an NaHS group,an ischemia-reperfusion group,and an ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group using a random number table method,with 20 rats in each group.The rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were used to prepare ischemia-reperfusion models.The rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were given 50 μmol·kg-1 NaHS intraperitoneally after cerebral ischemia,while the rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group were given an equal volume of physiological saline intraperitoneally after cerebral ischemia.The rats in the sham operation group and NaHS group only had vessels isolated but not occluded with threads.The rats in the NaHS group were given 50 μmol·kg-1 NaHS intraperitoneally after vascular detachment,while the rats in the sham operation group were given an equal volume of physiological saline intraperitoneally after vascular detachment.Twenty-four hours after modeling,the neurological deficits of rats in the four groups were evaluated by using the modified neurological severity score(mNSS),the cerebral infarction of rats in the four groups was observed aftertriphenyltetrazolium chloride staining,the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-18(IL-18)in theischemiccerebralcortical tissues of rats in the four groups were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)in the ischemic cerebral cortical tissues of rats in the four groups was detected by using Western blot,and the activity of microglia in the ischemic cerebral cortical tissues of rats in the four groups was detected by using immunofluorescence.Results The brain tissues of rats in the sham operation group and the NaHS group showed uniform orange red color,while the rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group had pale infarcted areas in the ischemic cerebral cortex and striatum.The cerebral infarction area of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly larger than that in the sham operation group and the NaHS group,while the cerebral infarction area of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group was significantly smaller than that in the ischemia-reperfusion group(P＜0.05).The mNSS scores of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group and the NaHS group,while the mNSS score of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group was significantly lower than that in the ischemia-reperfusion group(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of NLRP3 protein in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group and the NaHS group,while the relative expression level of NLRP3 protein in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group was significantly lower than that in the ischemia-reperfusion group(P＜0.05).The levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group and the NaHS group,while the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly lower than those in the ischemia-reperfusion group(P＜0.05).The rats in both sham operation group and NaHS group showed normal morphology of microglia in the ischemic cerebral cortical area.Compared with the sham operation group and the NaHS group,the rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group showed a significant reduction in the protrusion of microglia in the ischemic cerebral cortical area and a significant increase in the brightness of microglial cell bodies,and the cells appeared as clumps,losing their normal morphology,with a higher proportion of activated microglia.Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group,the rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group showed an increase in the number of microglial processes in the ischemic cerebral cortex,with fewer activated microglia and significantly improved morphology.The total numbers of microglia in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group and theischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group were significantly lower than those in the sham operation group and the NaHS group,while the total number of microglia in the ischemic cerebral cortex of rats in the ischemia-reperfusion+NaHS group was significantly higher than that in the ischemia-reperfusion group(P＜0.05).Conclusion NaHS can significantly improve brain injury in ischemia-reperfusion rats by inhibiting the inflammatory response and microglial activation induced by NLRP3 and reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18.
