[Objective]To investigate the value of 16-slice spiral CT(MSCT)postprocessing in styloid process in vivo and provide the vivisection data for diagnosing and curing styloid process syndrome.[Method]Totally 100 volunteers with normal styloid processes underwent 16-slice spiral CT(MSCT). Based on the initial datum,4 kinds of postprocessing including multiple planar reconstruction(MPR), curve planar reconstruction(CPR),surface shaded display(SSD) and volume rendering (VR) were performed.The length and inclination angle of stytoid processes were measured. The distance of between styloid processes and carotid canal external aperture,jugular foramen, stylomastoid foramen ,mastoid process, internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein were surveyed. [Result]The average length of styloid processes was 24.51 mm?3.05 mm, left was 24.33 mm?3.15 mm and right was 24.69 mm?2.95 mm. The anterior inclination angle was 19.35??2.92? and medial was 24.00??4.07?.The distance of between styloid processes and carotid canal external aperture, jugular foramen,stylomastoid foramen ,mastoid process , internal carotid artery and internal jugular vein were 8.53 mm?2.45 mm, 2.87 mm?0.88 mm, 2.34 mm?0.74 mm, 17.23 mm?1.85 mm,6.49 mm?1.58 mm and 3.70 mm?1.46 mm respectively. [Conclusion]Sixteen-slice Spiral CT postprocessing demonstrate the stytoid processes in vivo accurately and fully, among which multiple planar reconstruction and surface shaded display are more valuable, because they can evaluate the length and inclination of the styloid processes and the distance between the processes and their surrounding structures in vivo more accurately.

Objective To explore the value of multi-model reconstruction of 16-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of rib fractures.Methods 16-slice spiral CT volumetric scanning was performed in 72 patients with rib fracture proved by clinical,all images were reconstructed in thin slice and transferred into ADW4.1 workstation.Images such as multiplanar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP)and volume rendering(VR)were performed,then the reconstructed images of injured ribs were observed and analyzed by two experienced radiologists and compared with radiographs.Results In 72 cases,there were 217 rib fracture and 7 costal cartilage fracture depicted on MSCT.The location and number of fracture and displacement of fracture could be showed clearly on images of multi-model reconstruction.VR images were betten in demonstration of the anatomical structure,MPR images were better to show the minor lesion of rib fracture,MIP was the best imaging method in detecting the costal cartilage fracture,while axial image was the basic CT scanning section.Radiographs revealed 169 rib fractures but no costal cartilage fracture.Conclusion 16-slice spiral CT of multi-model reconstruction is superior to radiography in diagnosis of rib fracture and costal cartilage fracture.But the combinalion of various reconstruction techniques should be acquired.

BACKGROUND: Carbamylated erythropoietin (CEPO) cannot only remarkably promote the prognosis of cerebral infraction, but also improve the microcirculation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the underlying mechanism of CEPO promoting the microcirculation following cerebral infraction. METHODS: 150 Wistar rats were selected, and 120 rats were used for establishing the models of cerebral infarction, followed by allotted into four groups. The model rats were treated with 500, 1000 and 2000 u/kg CEPO as experimental groups, and those received no treatment as model group. The other 30 rats were as controls. Vascular endothelial cells were isolated and cultured in vitro, and the cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 assay. The expression levels of proliferation-related genes (Ki67 and p16) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected using western blot assay. After selective silencing of VEGF through RNA interference, all above indicators were detected again. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cell counting kit-8 assay results showed that the proliferation ability of vascular endothelial cells was increased with CEPO concentration increasing. Western blot assay results showed a significant upregulation of Ki67, p16 and VEGF. After shRNA-VEFG interference, these indicators had no positive correlation with the increased concentration of CEPO. Our findings indicate that CEPO can improve the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in an animal model of cerebral infarction via upregulating the VEGF expression.

Background Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease,but its aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain.At present,the study on pterygia focuses on understanding its underlying mechanism.Objective This study was to detect the expression of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguaine (8-OHdG),a marker of oxidative damage of DNA,and bcl-2,a gene related with apoptosis,on the pterygium tissue.Methods Thirty pterygium tissue specimens were obtained during the surgery with the primary pterygium 24 cases and recurrent pterygium 6 cases.In addition,20 normal conjunctival specimens from retinal detachment surgery and strabismus surgery were collected.The expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 in pterygium tissue were detected using immunochemistry and compared with the normal conjunctival tissue.The difference in the expressions of 8-OHdG and bcl-2 among different specimens was compared by x2test,and the relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was evaluated by Kappa test.Results The positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue was 62.5％ and 83.3％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively,but the expression of 8-OHdG was absent in the normal conjunctiva tissue.No significant difference was found in the positive expressing rate of 8-OHdG between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue(x2 =0.938,P＞0.05).The bcl-2 expressing rate was 90.0％ and 87.5％ in the primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue,respectively.However,that in the normal conjunctival tissue was absent.No significant difference was seen in the bcl-2 expression rate between primary and recrudescence pterygium tissue (x2=0.833,P ＞ 0.05).Of the 27 pterygium tissue with bcl-2 positive expression,8-OHdG showed the positive expression in 20 specimens,and 3 specimens with the bcl-2 negative response were absent reactive to 8-OHdG,showing insignificant difference between them (P＞0.05).The relationship between 8-OHdG expression and bcl-2 expression was concord in a certein extent (Kappa =0.464).Conclusions The upregulation of 8-OHdG in the pterygium tissue indicates that oxidative damage of DNA plays a role in the development of pterygium.Oxidative damage of DNA caused by ultraviolet may be an upriver factor,which induces raising up of expression of bcl-2 and inhibits the apoptosis of normal cells and further proliferation of the conjunctiva tissue,resulting in the genesis and development of pterysium.
