Objective To evaluate the value of digital subtraction computed tomography angiography(DSCTA)in the diagnosis of intracranial small aneurysms.Methods 92 patients with intracranial aneurysms confirmed by digital subtraction angiography(DSA) or surgery were selected as the subjects of this study.Their clinical and CT imaging data were analyzed retrospectively.The diagnos-tic accuracy of DSCTA and conventional CTA for intracranial aneurysms was compared.Results A total of 102 aneurysms were con-firmed in the 92 patients,100 of them were detected by DSCTA and 89 by conventional CTA (χ2 =8.707,P =0.003).Two small aneurysms of less than 5.0 mm located respectively at the cavernous sinus and beneath the clinoid segments were missed by DSCTA, while 13 by conventional CTA.When aneurysms of less than 3.0 mm and 3.0-5.0 mm were combined with calculation,the sensi-tivity of DSCTA in detecting aneurysms of less than 5.0 mm was significantly higher than that of conventional CTA (χ2 =8.393,P =0.004).Conclusion DSCTA has more advantages than conventional CTA in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms,especially for the small aneurysms adjacent to the skull base.DSCTA can be used as a preferred technique in the screening and diagnosis of in-tracranial aneurysms.

AIM: To investigate the clinical features of acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( AIDS) patients associated ocular diseases in Urumqi and the relationship between ocular fundus manifestations and CD4+T cell count.
METHODS: The fundus of 93 AIDS patients were examined by indirect ophthalmoscopy. The clinical symptoms and CD4+T cell count of those patients with fundus changes were analyzed.
RESULTS: Thirteen patients were found having fundus changes which occurred in one eye of 4 patients and two eyes of 9 patients, respectively, and the total detection rate was 14. 0%. Seven patients had vision changes, and the main clinical features of retinal lesion were cotton wool spot and hemorrhage of retina. Four patients were diagnosed as retinitis with cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) infection and 9 patients were diagnosed as HIV related retinopathy diseases. Seven patients among 37 patients with CD4+T cell count ≤100cell/μL had fundus changes related AIDS, and the detection rate was 18. 9%; while 6 patients among 56 patients with CD4+T cell count >100cell/μL had fundus changes related AIDS, and the detection rate was 10. 7%. There was statistical difference between the two detection rates (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: No specificity was found of those patients with the clinical manifestation of HIV- related retinopathy, and those patients are easy to be missed diagnosis. A number of AIDS patients have fundus changes without any vision changes. Therefore, it is very useful for AIDS patients to be carried out the routine fundus examination for the early diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the cause,diagnosis and treatment measures of neonatal pneumothorax.MethodsThe clinical data of 98 cases with neonatal pneumothorax in our hospital from Mar 2005 to Mar 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 27 premature neonates and 71 full-term neonates in the 98 cases.Ten cases were spontaneous pneumothorax and 88 cases were non spontaneous pneumothorax.After the treatnent of primary disease,pleural aspiration,chest drainage and mechanical ventilation,88 cases were cured,8 cases were improved and 2 cases died.ConclusionNeonatal pneumothorax is related with cesarean section,improper use of endotracheal intubation,meconium aspiration,premature hyaline membrane disease using pulmonary surfactant and ventilator therapy.Most pneumothorax is due to lung disease.The prevention of preterm birth and asphyxia can reduce the incidence of neonatal pneumothorax.

Objective To investigate the influence of transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) on the proliferation of hUVEC induced by the supematant from human prostate cancer cells (DU145). Methods Experiment group was treated with the mixture of DU145 cells supernatant and DMEM medium in different ratio, control group was treated with DMEM medium. The change of cell proliferation was detected by MTT method, and TRPC6 gene and protein was detected by PCR and Western-blot methods respectively. Results After incubated for 48h with the supematant from cultured DU145 cells,the population of hUVECs increased obviously, and the expression of TRPC6 genes and protein had clearly up-regulation. Conclusion The supernatant from cultured DU145 cells could effectively enhance the proliferation of hUVECs. The mechanisms might be that the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was mediated by TRPC6.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the relative association of soft tissue tension and cervical physiological curvature chang in patients with scapula muscle fasciitis.

METHODSFrom February 2012 to December 2012,29 patients with scapula muscle fasciitis were investigated. There were 10 males and 19 females with an average age of 27.77 years old (ranged from 22 to 40 years old). Routine AP and lateral cervical X-rays were done in all patients. Cervical lordosis was measured according to Borden's method and the pain point tension was measured by soft tissue tension meter. Finally,perform statistic analysis to bove data.

RESULTSLateral X-rays showed 9 cases were normal cervical lordosis, 18 cases were cervical lordosis decreased, 2 cases were cervical lordosis increased. The regression equation of cerical lordosis changes D(Y) and soft tissue tension displacement D0.5 kg (X) was Y = -15.069 + 3.673X.

CONCLUSIONThere is linear relationship between soft tissue tension and cervical physiological curvature change. With the soft tissue tension increases, the cervical lordosis trend to decrease.

The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are the main components of storage proteins of wheat,and play a critical role in determining the visco-elastic properties of gluten. There are both quantitative and qualitative effects of HMW-GS on the processing properties of wheat. Current knowledge of the molecular structures,compositions and properties of the gluten proteins of wheat is summarized in details,and the role of the HMW-GS in determining the quality of the grain for breadmaking and how their amount and composition can be manipulated leading to changes in dough mixing properties is also discussed systematically.

Objective To discuss the role of leukocyte activation and inflammatory processes in the disease of chronic venous insufficiency(CVI).Methods The relevant literatures about the role of leukocyte activation and in- flammatory reaction in CVI were reviewed.Results The role of inflammatory reaction in occurrence and develop- ment of venous diseases has been studied a lot in recent years.It was found that the leukocyte activation and inflam- matory reaction are involved in the structural remodeling of venous valves and walls,leading to valvular incompe- tence and formation of varicose veins.Conclusion Leukocyte activation and inflammatory processes take important roles in the occurrence and progression of CVI.

Objective To investigate the influence of synangio-excision-restruction in pancreatic cancer radical operation on the complications,living quality and survival status in the patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods A total of 255 patients with pancreatic cancer in our hospitals from January 2010 to October 2015 were selected and divided into 3 groups according to different operation modes:41 cases in the Synangio-excision-restruction group(A),113 cases in the non-synangio-excision-restruction group (B) and 101 cases in the palliative by-pass operation group(C).The clinical data in 3 groups were analyzed.The influence of Synangio-excision-restruction on operative complications,living quality and survival status was investigated.Results The incidence rate of complications in the group A was 56.10％,which was obviously higer than 34.51％ in the group 1β and 20.79％ in the group C,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).In the group A,the incidence rates of belly ache and body weight gain were 36.59％ and 51.22％ respectively,which comparing with 91.09％ and 9.09％ in the group C showed statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The median survival time(MST) in the group A was 11.83 months,which in the group B and C were 15.43 months and 7.50 months,the difference between the group A and C was statistically significant(x2 =4.27,P＜0.05);while the difference between the group A and B was not statistically significant(x2=3.67,P＞0.05).Conclusion For the pancreatic cancer patients with affected portal vein and inferior mesenteric vein,the synangio-excision-restruction radical operation can obviously prolong the patients' survival time and improves their living quality.
