Objective To explore the value of MRI in differentiation diagnosis of benign ovarian mucin-ous cystadenoma ( MC) and borderline mucous cystadenoma ( BMC).Methods MRI data of 23 cases of benign MC and 14 cases of BMC, confirmed by surgery and pathology, were retrospectively analyzed, including tumor lo-cation, shape, size, loculation, signal intensity of cyst fluid, cyst wall, cyst septum and nodules, and they were compared with pathological results.Results Single loculus benign cystadenoma nodules showed isointensity T2 WI signal, low T1 WI signal, and low DWI signal.Single loculus borderline cystadenoma nodules showed high T2 WI signal, low T1 WI signal, and high DWI signal.Signs such as honeycomb loculi of multilocular cystadeno-ma, cyst fluid of high T1 WI signal, cyst fluid of low T2 W1 signal, cyst wall and irregularly thickened cyst septum ( >3 mm) were more seen in BMC (7/11, 6/11 and 7/11) than in MC (5/18, 4/18 and 5/18);5 cases were with cyst sediments (MC=4, BMC=1), showing moderate T2WI signals, and high T1WI signals.Broken fish-ing net gathering was only restricted to MC (5/18) with characteristics.Benign multilocular cystadenoma nodules showed low DWI signal,and borderline multilocular cystadenoma nodules showed high DWI signal.Conclusion MRI can well display pathological characteristics of ovarian MC, which has practical value for the differentiation and diagnosis of MC and BMC and can provide the reference for clinical surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of plasma erythropoietin ( EPO) concentration on left ventricular systolic function and its relationship with acute mountain sickness ( AMS ) .Methods A total of 289 healthy young men were recruited in this study and divided into five groups:plain control group (Ⅰ) with 55 subjects;acute high altitude exposure group(Ⅱ) with 74 subjects(3700 m exposure for 24 h); the group of acute exposure after acclimatization (Ⅲ) with 68 subjects(4400 m exposure for 24 h after 1 week acclimatization at 3700 m); high altitude migrate group (Ⅳ) with 19 subjects ( migration to 3700 m for more than 1 year ); and the group of exposure after migration (Ⅴ) with 73 subjects (4400 m exposure for 50 d after more than one year migration to 3700 m).Lake Louise Self-assessment Scoring System ( LLSS) was used to assess AMS .Plasma concentrations of EPO and echocardiography were also determined .Results EPO was significantly increased after acute high altitude exposure .There was no significant difference in EPO between groupⅡand Ⅲ(P>0.05), but significantly higher than in group Ⅰ (P<0.05).No significant difference was found between group Ⅳ,Ⅴ and Ⅰ (P>0.05).In group Ⅱ, positive correlation was found between EPO concentration and stroke volume (SV) as well as left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVDD) (R=0.278 and 0.236,respectively,P<0.05), while negative correlation was expressed between EPO concentration and the AMS score (R=-0.249,P<0.05).In other groups,there was no relationship between EPO concentration and the index of left ventricular function .Conclusion EPO may work on AMS through left ventricular systolic function enhancement after acute high altitude exposure .

OBJECTIVESince glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common hereditary hemolytic erythrocyte enzyme deficiency, most cases have single nucleotide mutations in the coding region, and current test methods for gene mutation have some missed detections, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of RT-PCR sequencing in the detection of gene mutation in G6PD deficiency.

METHODSAccording to the G6PD/6GPD ratio, 195 children with anemia of unknown cause or who underwent physical examination between August 2013 and July 2014 were classified into G6PD-deficiency group with 130 children (G6PD/6GPD ratio <1.00) and control group with 65 children (G6PD/6GPD ratio≥1.00). The primer design and PCR amplification conditions were optimized, and RT-PCR sequencing was used to analyze the complete coding sequence and verify the genomic DNA sequence in the two groups.

RESULTSIn the G6PD-deficiency group, the detection rate of gene mutation was 100% and 13 missense mutations were detected, including one new mutation. In the control group, no missense mutation was detected in 28 boys; 13 heterozygous missense mutations, 1 homozygous same-sense mutation (C1191T) which had not been reported in China and abroad, and 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms of C1311T were detected in 37 girls. The control group showed a high rate of missed detection of G6PD deficiency (carriers) in the specimens from girls (35%, 13/37).

CONCLUSIONSRT-PCR sequencing has a high detection rate of G6PD gene mutation and a certain value in clinical diagnosis of G6PD deficiency.

Objective To study the dosimetric peculiarity of 3D intracavitary brachytherapy in the application of endometrial carcinoma comparing with traditional 2D plans. Method 39 3D brachytherapy treatment plans of 11 patients with endometrial carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed with re?planning 2D treatment plan, the dose volume histogram ( DVH) parameters such as the target dose volume parameters V150 and D90 , the 2?cc doses to organs such as bladder, small intestine, rectum and sigmoid and the total reference air kerma TRAK were analyzed. The differences between the two groups are compared by paired samples T test. Results For target with V<60 cm3 ,there is no statistically significant difference between 2D and 3D plans,the D90 is (551?17±90?33) cGy and (574?15±117?18) cGy,respectively (P=0?390). As the increase of target volume,the D90 came to be significantly different ( P=0?001) , high dose region V150 for 3D and 2D plans is (51?05±21?61) cm3 and (53?41±11?71) cm3, respectively (P=0?482). With the target volume larger than 60 cm3 ,compare to 2D plans, the 3D plan can increase the target coverage as well as OAR dose except for small intestine ( P=0?128) . In addition, with different plan mode,the BMI did not affect the crisis organ dose such as rectum, small intestine, bladder and sigmoid, the P value is 0?239, 0?198,0?744 and 0?834,respectively. Conclusions For endometrial carcinoma,compared with traditional two?dimensional plans,the 3D brachytherapy treatment plans can significantly improve the target coverage and avoiding overdose of organs, clinical curative effect and side effect still needs further observation.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of two kinds of homemade sirolimus-eluting stents (Firebird and Excel) for treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The 249 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent PCI were randomly divided into two groups: Excel group (n=136) and Firebird group (n=113). They were followed up for 6-24 months, and coronary angiography was reviewed average 12 months later. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events, including death, reinfarction and target vessel revascularization. The second endpoints included late luminal loss and restenosis 12 months after treatment. Results There were no significant differences in baseline data, coronary arterial lesion before operation, and immediateness condition after PCI between the two groups (all P＞0.05). Within follow-up, there were 2 (1.47%) death cases and 1 (0.88%) death case, 1 (0.74%) and 1 (0.88%) nonfatal myocardial infarction case, 2 (1.47%) and 2 (1.77%) target vessel revascularization cases in the two groups respectively (all P＞0.05). There were no significant differences in late luminal loss of in-stent and in-segment, the rates of in-stent restenosis, in-segment restenosis and stent thrombosis, the in-stent minimal lumen diameter and in-segment minimal lumen diameter between the two groups (all P＞0.05). Conclusions The two kinds of homemade sirolimus-eluting stents may have similar efficacy and safety in patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI.

Crocetin, a naturally occurring carotenoid, possesses antioxidant and antiatherosclerotic properties, of which the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of crocetin (0.1, 1, 10 μmol·L(-1)) on angiotensin II (Ang II, 0.1 μmol·L(-1)) induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. The effects of crocetin on the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also observed. The results demonstrated that crocetin notably suppressed Ang II induced NF-κB activation (P<0.01) and VCAM-1 expression (P<0.05, P<0.01) in HUVECs, accompanied by a markedly reduced monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, preincubation with crocetin resulted in a significant enhancement of cellular antioxidant capacity (P<0.05, P<0.01), while Ang II induced intracellular ROS decreased markedly (P<0.05, P<0.01). These results indicated that crocetin was capable of suppressing Ang II induced VCAM-1 expression and monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion by suppression of NF-κB activation, which might be derived from the enhancement of antioxidant capacity and subsequent reduction of intracellular ROS.
