1.Assessment of the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume
Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2009;18(9):780-782
Objective To assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume and to compare these volume calculations with those made by conventional methods. Methods Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was used to acquire volumetric data from the ovaries of 50 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of in-vitro fertilization treatment. SonoAVC was used to automatically measure the volume of follicles and virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL) was also applied to measure volume, which was used as the standard of volume measurement. And the three perpendicular diameters (xyz diameters) of follicles were manually measured by conventional two-dimensional(2D) ultrasound, which were used to estimate volume using the sphere formula. And the validity of each technique was compared using limits of agreement. Results One hundred and seventy-six follicles were studied. SonoAVC and VOCAL provided highly accurate and repeatable follicular volume measurements in all cases. Volumes estimated from manually derived follicular diameter measurements were less accurate and repeatable. VOCAL took more time in follicular volume of measurement than SonoAVC and conventional 2D displays. Conclusions SonoAVC provides highly accurate, repeatable,and efficient measurements of follicular volume.

OBJECTIVETo explore the curative effect and safety of acupuncture for mild cognitive disorders after stroke.
METHODSRandomized controlled trial was adopted and one hundred cases conforming to criteria were divided into a combined acupuncture and medication group (group A) and a medication group (group B), 50 cases in each group. The basic treatment of cerebrovascular disease was applied in two groups. The group A treated was with acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Shenting (GV 24) and Qucha (BL 4) etc. and oral administration of Nimodipine. In group B, Nimodipine was taken orally. The treatment lasted for 3 months, the scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), modified Hasegawa Dementia Scale (HDS-R) and Barthel Index (BI) were observed before and after treatment in two groups.
RESULTSThe total effective rate in group A was 66.7% (32/48), which was superior to 30.4% (14/46) in group B (P < 0.05). The scores of MMSE, HDS-R and BI after treatment were apparently improved as compared with those before treatment in two groups (all P < 0.01). The improvements in group A were superior to those in group B (all P < 0.05). There was no adverse event reported during the treatment in two groups.
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture can improve activity of daily living and has significant effect in treating mild cognition disorders after stroke without adverse reactions.

Objective To explore the correlation of peritumoral brain edema( PTBE)size,histologi-cal grades and the expression rate of Ki-67 in gliomas. Methods The data and specimens about 74 cases of gliomas in People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during 2010-2013 were collected. All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. According to preoperative MRI,PTBE was graded. Immunohisto-chemical discriminate the expression of Ki-67. HE coloration distinguish the histological grades. Results In this study,90. 54%(67/74)patients occured PTBE,the incidence of PTBE inⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳlevel of groups were 100%(3/3),78. 95%(15/19),83. 33%(15/18),100%(34/34). Ki-67 expression was positive in 75. 68%(56/74)patients,and the rates were 0,36. 84%(7/19),94. 44%(17/18),94. 12%(32/34) in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ level of groups. The expression rate of Ki-67 was 57. 14%(4/7),60. 00%(6/10),and 80. 70%(46/57)in normal group,Ⅰ-level groups of PTBE,Ⅱ-level groups of PTBE. The result of Kruskal-Wallis H showed that the PTBE from different grades was statistically significant(H=11. 304,P=0. 010). The expression rate of Ki-67 in different grade gliomas was statistically significant(H=38. 530,P﹤0. 05), The difference of expression Ki-67 in gliomas of different PTBE was statistically significant( H=6. 478,P=0. 039). The result of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the PTBE level increased with the histo-logical grade up in gliomas(r=0. 385,P=0. 001). The expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the histologi-cal grade up in gliomas(r=0. 692,P﹤0. 05),and the expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the degree of PTBE up in glomas( r =0. 256,P =0. 028 ). Conclusion Accorrding to the PTBE size,the histological grades and proliferation ability of glioma can be judged pre-operation. Ki-67 can be used as the indicator of pro-liferation activity of tumor,and also be used as the important basis of histological grades.

Objective To observe the effects of Jinghua Weikang Capsule on NF-κB p65 expression in gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infected mice;To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Totally 44 SPF KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, triple therapy group and Jinghua Weikang group. Except for the blank group, Hp infected model was set up by short term immunosuppression combined with peroral infection. The treatment strategies were triple therapy group with lansoprazole, metronidazole and clarithromycin for 1 week, Jinghua Weikang group with Jinghua Weikang volatile oil for 4 weeks, model group with sterile water for 4 weeks, and blank group free of any treatments. All the subjects were sacrificed in the 4th week after the treatment. NF-κB p65 was detected through real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method. Results The relative quantitative expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA were 3.27±0.53 in blank group, 2.18±0.50 in control group, 4.19±1.21 in triple therapy group, and 7.70±1.41 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=86.303, P<0.001). Compared with model group, the expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA of other three groups increased statistically differently (P=0.004), and there was also statistical difference between triple therapy and Jinghua Weikang group. Through immunohistochemical tests, the values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of nucleus were 25.18± 7.42 in blank group, 31.17±2.98 in model group, 30.06±4.69 in triple therapy group, and 26.94±5.19 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=10.960, P=0.012). The values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of cytoplasm had no statistical difference (F=1.922, P=0.134), and the nucleus/cytoplasm values were 0.23±0.06 in blank group, 0.28±0.03 in model group, 0.26±0.04 in triple therapy group, and 0.24±0.04 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=14.527, P=0.002). The statistical analysis of the nucleus/cytoplasm values showed significance between blank and model group (P=0.002), while triple therapy group was still equal to model group (P=0.420). Jinghua Weikang group was lower than model group (P=0.022) and equal to blank group (P=0.750). Conclusion Jinghua Weikang Capsule can effectively reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 in protein level in Hp infected mice.

Objective To investigate the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) subtypes in human endometrial carcinoma tissues. Methods Thirty samples of normal endometrial tissue and 66 endometrial carcinomas were investigated using western blot assays and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results (1)Both ER? and ER? mRNA were significantly increased in endometrial carcinoma compared with that in normal endometrium tissues. The relative value of ER? and ER? mRNA in endometrial carcinoma was 8.00?7.77, 3.84?2.57 and that in normal endometrium tissues was 4.15?3.55, 0.41?0.29, respectively. (2) Decreased levels of PR, PRA, PRB protein and PR mRNA were associated with endometrium carcinogenesis (P
