Objective To investigate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy using 64-slice spiral computed tomography (64-CTA) scanner in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Methods Sixty eight patients with chest pain or post PTCA underwent CT coronary angiography (CTA) and selected coronary angiography (SCA). The SCA results were served as "gold standard" to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CTA, while the sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated, respectively. Results 64-slice spiral CT could clearly demonstrate the coronary arterial trunk and branchs with stenosis, calcifications abnormal orifise origination and bridge vascular disease; especially with high accuracy in revealing calcification and even with quantification. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the degree of stenosis more than 75% for coronary artery segments evaluated by CTA were significantly higher than those of the degree of stenosis less than 50% for coronary artery segments(P

Objective To compare internet addiction disorders' family cohesion and their family educa-tion style, and to help prevent internet addiction disorder and interference treatment in families with internet addic-tion disorder. Methods Ninety adolescents with internet addiction disorder were investigated as the experimental group and one hundred normal adolescents as the control group. Questionnaire and in-depth interview was used to collect data,and the data was analyzed with SPSS 10.0. Results Average scores of control group were significant higher than those of experimental group in family cohesion ((51.75±8.86) vs (38.89±12.17), P<0.01). Av-erage scores of control group were significant higher than these of experimental group in family education style ((50.65±7.66) vs (41.44±10.84), P < 0.01). Average scores of experimental group were significant higher than those of control group in dissatisfaction of family cohesion and family education style ((20.87±4.66) vs (12.33±7.88); (23.30±11.06) vs (14.28±7.29), P < 0.01). Conclusion The adolescents with internet addiction disorder have low family cohesion and high dissatisfaction of family education style,wherefore during in-ternet addiction family intervention and prevention, it should pay particular attention to cultivating close and harmo-nious relations among families members. In aspect of family education, parents should pay special attention to chil-dren's healthy personality development, and guide their children to actively take part in social practice and train-ing.

Objective To study the effects of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in delayed encephalopathy in rats after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups: forty-eight rats in the blank control group (BC group), sixty rats in the air control group (AC group) as well as in the carbon monoxide poisoning group (CO group). The DEACMP model was established by improved intraperitoneal injections. The animals were valuated at 1st ,3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th day after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Tunnel method was used to test the pyramidal cell apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 area. The expression of Nrf2 was tested by immunohistochemical method and Western Blot method. Result In the CO group, the apoptosis index (AI) started to increase from first day and achieved it's peak at the 7th day (20.20 ± 1.78), then began to decrease slowly. The apoptosis index was still higher than that in the other groups at 28th day. And the apoptosis index of the CO group was markedly higher than the other two groups at each time point. The Nrf2 protein started to increase from 1st day in the CO group , reached its peak at 3rd day (8.20 ± 1.08), reduced later, maintained at a high level at 28th day, and expressed significantly higher than other groups at each time point. Conclusions The Nrf2 has a linear correlation with apoptosis , and plays a dual role in DEACMP because it rapidly increased in first three days to against apoptosis. But it continuously has been excessive expressed from 7th to 28th day in promoting the apoptosis of hippocampus pyramidal cells and may be a positive factor in DEACMP.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the Chinese medicine paeoniflorin, derived from the Ranunculaceae plant peony, peony, purple peony root, was able to have anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-hypersusceptibility and anti-oxidation activity. In order to elucidate the pesticide effect and the mechanisms by which paeoniflorin exerts its effect of anti-inflammation and immunoregulation on oxazolone-induced colitic mice, disease activity index (DAI) and histological grading of colitis (HGC) were evaluated in animal model. Moreover, the expressions of HBD-2, IL-6 and IL-10 of mice with experimental colitis were observed with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR in this study. Results showed that DAI and HGC of oxazolone control group was significantly higher than that of normal control group, and that paeoniflorin groups and 5-ASA group, compared with oxazolone control group, could alleviate the symptoms and histological damages of colitic mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The expression of HBD-2 and IL-6 cytokine on the colon of colitic mice was higher than that of normal control, paeoniflorin and 5-ASA groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), but the expression of IL-10 is lower than that of normal control, paeoniflorin and 5-ASA groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The positive correlations were demonstrated between the expression of (HBD-2 and IL-6) and DAI (Pearson r = 0.728, Pearson r = 0.758, P < 0.01, respectively), (HBD-2 and IL-6) and HGC (Pearson r = 0.819, Pearson r = 0.825, P < 0.01, respectively), whereas, the negative correlations were demonstrated between the expression of IL-10 and DAI (Pearson r = -0.789, P < 0.01), IL-10 and HGC (Pearson r = -0.725, P < 0.01). It can be concluded that to some extent paeoniflorin effectively alleviate the symptoms of oxazolone-induced colitis through regulating the expression of HBD-2, IL-6 and IL-10.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in the treatment of recurrent endometriosis after conservative surgery or conservative surgery combined with medical treatment. Methods Twenty-three patients with recurrent endometriosis after conservative surgery or conservative surgery combined with medical treatment were treated by LNG-IUS. All patients rejected further operation and had no desire of fertility. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of pain, menstrual model, weight and serum CA125 level and the volume of ovarian endometriotic cysts before and after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months of treatment were recorded and compared. Results ( 1 ) VAS score:after 12 months of using LNG-IUS, dysmenorrheal, chronic pelvic pain or dyspareunia were relieved significantly. VAS score were dropped from 5.9 ± 2. 3,4. 3 ± 2.0 to 1.0 ± 0. 7,1.4 ± 1. 1 ( P < 0. 01 ). ( 2 )Volum of cysts :after 6 months of using LNG-IUS, the volume of recurrent ovarian endometriotic cysts in 11 patients were reduced from ( 11.4 ± 6. 1 ) em3 to ( 5. 5 ± 3.4 ) em3 significantly ( P < 0. 01 ). At 12 months of follow-up, it suggested that 2 patients' ovarian endometriotic cysts disappeared. At 24 months follow-up,9 patients ovarian endometriotic cysts disappeared ( 3 ) CA125: serum CA125 decreased from ( 65.5 ± 19. 6 )kU/L to (42. 1 ± 13.6) kU/L at 6 months after treatment remarkably (P < 0. 01 ). Continued to decrease after 12 months and then become steady. Irregular bleeding and spotting was the main side effects, weight gain was also observed in few patients. Conclusions LNG-IUS could be used in treatment of recurrent endometriosis after conservative surgery or conservative surgery combined with medical treatment effectively. It could relieve pain, reduce the level of CA125 and decrease the size of ovarian endometriotic cysts. LNG-IUS seems to be an effective, safe, and long term treatment for endometriosis with fewer side effects and better compliance.
