Objective To present the CT and MRI findings of the fibrous dysplasia(FD) of the spine.Methods CT and MRI findings were retrospectively evaluated in 19 cases of FD of spine,all of which were confirmed pathologically.Nineteen patients underwent CT plain scanning(19/19) and 5 had enhanced CT scanning(5/19).Patients were also examined by MRI plain scan(11/11) or MRI enhanced scan (6/11).The location of tumors,the type of bone destruction,the boundary of lesions,internal intensity or signal,the enhancement pattern of lesions,and presence of compression fractures,spinal deformity were observed.Result Nine cases had monostotic FD,while 10 had polyostotic FD.In all the 49 lesions of 19 cases,13 lesions were located in the cervical vertebrae,23 lesions in the thoracic vertebrae,11 lesions in lumbar vertebrae,and 2 lesions in sacral vertebrae.Thirty-three lesions involved both vertebral body and appendix.Pure osteolysis were found in 26 lesions on CT examinations.Peripheral osteosclerosis rims (41/49) and expansive lesions(32/49) were seen.Residual bone crest(28/49) and ground-glass opacity(23/49)were noted.Different degrees of vertebral compression were found in 19 lesions.Five patients had spinal deformity.On T1WI,14 lesions showed intermediate or low signal,and 10 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.On T2WI,6 lesions had low signal intensity,4 lesions were noted as hyperintensive,and 14 lesions presented as heterogeneous signal.Multiple fluid-fluid levels were found in 1 lesion.Low signal rims were seen in 14 lesions.Twenty lesions of 11 patients had significant enhancement.Conclusion Expansive pattern,ground-glass opacity,peripheral osteosclerosis rims and significant enhancement were helpful findings for the diagnosis of spinal FD.
2.Visual electrophysiological abnormality in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2000;20(5):328-330
Objective To study the visual electrophyological changes in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome(PIH).Methods The visual evoked potentials (VEP) and electroretinogram (ERG) of 28 patients with PIH in 56 eyes were recorded.Results The patients with PIH had pathologic visual electrophysiologic abnormalities. The VEP N75 peak latency significantly increased(P<0.05), and the ERG b wave latency in patients with PIH showed remarkable difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Visual electrophysiological examination may be valuable in early diagnosis of retinal disfunction in patients with PIH.
3.Progress on DAB2IP gene
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2011;27(7):1445-1449
Human DAB2 interaction protein (DAB2IP) is a novel member of Ras GTPase-activating protein family. It interacts directly with disabled-2 protein (DAB2/DOC2) which suppresses growth of cancers derived from different tissues, including mammary, prostate and ovarian cancers. DAB2IP was identified as an immediate downstream effector mediated by DAB2/DOC2. DAB2IP and DAB2/DOC2 form a unique protein complex that has a negative regulatory effect on the Ras-mediated signal pathway. It is demonstrated that DAB2IP is a tumor suppressor gene inactivated by methylation in several cancers. This article reviews the structure and biological functions of DAB2IP gene as well as its potential roles in carcinogenesis and evolution.
4.The Empirical Research of the Impact of Health Insurance on Consumption for Urban and Rural Households
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(10):5-7
Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.
5.Construction of the Chinese cancer-related fatigue assessment scale by using Delphi technique
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(35):11-14
Objective To construct the Chinese cancer-related fatigue assessment tool by using Delphi technique.Methods A certain number of expels were chosen for consulting to form a consuiting scale.Two-round consultations were conducted and the results were analyzed.Results The Chinese cancer-related fatigue assessment scale was formed after 2-round consultation,including 3 dimensions and 20 items,which were:8 items for the physical fatigue,5 items for mental fatigue,7 items for emotional condition.Conclusions The Chinese cancer-related fatigue assessment scale formed by Delphi technique provides a research tool to evaluate fatigue of Chinese cancer patients accurately and presents targeted nursing interventions.
6.Study on the Influence of Cellulase on the Extraction Rate of Medlar Total Saccharide in Medlar by Sphere Symmetry Design
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2006;0(08):-
Objective To study the effect of cellulase on the extraction rate of medlar total saccharide, considering three factors of temperature, time and quantity of cellulose. The best extracting condition was determined according to the require of sphere symmetry design. Methods Add cellulase liquid into the medlar slurry and determine the content of medlar total saccharide by DNS method. Result The extraction rate of medlar total saccharide was increased 1.66% by cellulase at temperature of 60 ℃, time of 300 s and cellulase volume of 5 mL. Conclusion Cellulase can promote the extraction rate of medlar total saccharide.
7.Isolation and identification of fetal liver mesenchymal stem cells from mouse
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(12):-
Objective To isolate and culture meshenchymal stem cells from murine fetal liver.Methods flMSCs from mouse fetuses were isolated by adhering to plastic surface.Growth kinetics was determined by growth curve.Cell cycle and phenotype were analyzed by FACSan flow cytometry.Differentiation of adhering cells was induced and identified.Results Homogenous fibroblast-like cells were predominated in culture.The counting of flMSCs increased 2 fold after 24 hours and 83.76%?2.88% of flMSCs were in G0/G1 phases.flMSCs were CD44,CD29 positive but negative for the markers of hematopoietic cells such as CD45,CD11b.flMSCs were able to differentiate along adipogenic,chondrogenic and osteogenic pathways even after being passaged several times.ConclusionflMSCs can be isolated by their plastic-attachable property and can expand without losing their multiple differentiation potential in vitro.flMSCs may offer an appropriate cell source for stem cell therapy.
