Objective To discuss MRI appearance of the cerebral schistosomiasis and its clinical value through analyzing the MRI features and post surgery pathological findings. Methods MRI features of the cerebral schistosomiasis in 16,pathologically ( n =6) or clinically( n =10) proved cases were analyzed etrospectively,and compared with the post surgery pathological findings in 6 cases. Results Single masses were found in 11 cases (11/16),and multiple masses in 5 cases(5/16), amounting to 23 masses . fifteen masse(15/23) were located in right cerebral hemisphere,including frontal lobe ( n =2),frontoparietal lobe ( n =5) ,and occipitoparietal lobe ( n =8), while 8 masses (8/23) in left cerebral hemisphere,including frontal lobe ( n =1),frontoparietal lobe ( n =3), and occipitoparietal lobe ( n =4).The nodular masses were isointense with the gray mass like "island", and 12 cases (12/16) show the "gigantic hand" form of edma around them. After IV administration of Gd DTPA,15cases (15/16) revealed multiple closely spaced,intensely enhancing nodules,1 3 mm in diameter,distributed throughout the mass. Seven cases misdiagnosed by CT were revised by MRI. Conclusion The MRI appearance of the cerebral schistosomiasis is characteristic,and MRI is the most valuable tool to diagnose it without injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of Buyanghuanwu decoction(BYHWD) on angiogenesis and Ang-1/Tie-2 expression after focal cerebral ischemia in mice. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by 30 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. BYHWD (20 g/kg) was administered orally 24 h after ischemia and once a day. The neurological score and the corner test were used to evaluate sensorimotor function during 28 days after ischemia. The microvessels density and the expression of Ang-1/Tie-2 in the ischemic boundary zone were determined by immunohistochemistry on 28 days after ischemia. Results Compared with the model group, BYHWD significantly ameliorated neurological dysfunction and reduced the number of right turn during 3 to 28 days after ischemia(P＜0.05 ). In addition,the numbers of CD31 ,Ang-1 and Tie-2 immunopositive cells were (437 ±59) ,(389 ±61 ) and (251 ±42) at the boundary zone in model group 28 days after ischemia,respectively. However, BYHWD treatment significantly increased the numbers of CD31(609 ± 68 ), Ang-1 (551 ±66) and Tie-2 (342 ±46) immunopositive cells(P＜0. 01 ). Conclusion BYHWD promotes angiogenesis,which may contribute to recovery of neurological function after focal cerebral ischemia,and Ang-1/Tie-2 pathway appears to mediate BYHWD-induced angiogenesis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of IL-10 on IL-1?-induced prostaglandin E 2(PGE 2) release and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression in human mesangial cells and to examine whether IL-10 has effect on the biological function of IL-1?.METHODS: The PGE 2 concentration in supernatants of HMC was measured by radioimmunoassay. The COX-2 mRNA and protein were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: PGE 2 and COX-2 were significantly increased after treatment with IL-1?( P0.05 , respectively), while it inhibited IL-1?-elicited PGE 2 production, as well as COX-2 mRNA and protein expression in a concentration-dependent fashion. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that IL-10 depressed the IL-1?-induced release of PGE 2 and expression of COX-2. These data suggested that IL-10 could exert anti-inflammatory actions at several levels, not only by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines but also by suppressing their biological function.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of a recombinant plasmid encoding mouse interleukin 2 (mlL-2) on the immunogenicity of DNA vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct) serovar E.Methods BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups to be intramuscularly inoculated with blank plasmid(negative control group),DNA vaccine against Ct serovar E(DNA vaccine group),DNA vaccine against Ct serovar E and a recombinant plasmid containing mIL-2(combination group),and inactivated Ct serovar E elementary bodies (positive control group),respectively.The immunological effects were evaluated by posterior foot pad thickness,proliferation level of spleen lymphocytes,serum level of IL-4 and interferon (IFN)-γ in mice,and the capability to clear Ct genital tract infection.ResultsThe proliferation index of spleen lymphocytes in the combination group and positive control group was similar(3.64 ± 0.41 vs.3.77 ± 0.34),but was significantly different from that in the blank control group and DNA vaccine group (1.37 ± 0.21 and 2.52 ± 0.30).The serum level of IL-4 was(38.49 ± 12.24) pg/ml in the positive control group,significantly higher than in the negative control group,DNA vaccine group and combination group ((25.37 ± 18.93),(24.75 ± 8.49),(21.74 ± 6.43) pg/ml,respectively).With respect to the serum level of IFN-γ,the combination group and positive control group were similar ((1923.3 ± 518.1) pg/ml vs.(2712.5 ± 887.2) pg/ml),but were significantly different from the negative control group and vaccine group((310.8 ± 160.7) pg/ml and(601.3 ± 357.9) pg/ml).Six days after Ct challenge,the exfoliated cells from genital tract were positive for Ct culture in the negative control group,but negative in the other 3 groups.ConclusionIL-2 genetic adjuvant can enhance the immune response,especially Th1 type response,induced by the DNA vaccine against Ct serovar E.

Objective To study the relevance of 1iver fibrosis at Kasai procedure with age, degree of pathological changes of liver tissue, header bile ductuler proliferation and pathological feature of portal fibrous tissue in biliary atresia patients. Methods From January 2013 to June 2016, 48 biliary atresia patients accepted Kasai procedure, and liver tissue biopsy and portal fibrous tissue excision was done. Level of liver fibrosis was evaluated under microscope using Masson trichrome staining and HE staining, and extent of ductular reaction was evaluated using CKl9 immunohistochemistry staining with image analysis technology. Based on classification of Okamoto severity degree of liver fibrosis, forty eight patients were divided into two groups:low-grade liver fibrosis group (23 patients)and severe liver fibrosis group (25 patients). The relevance of age at Kasai procedure, liver pathological changes, header bile ductuler proliferation, portal fibrous tissue in volume and bile ductuler proliferation, inflammation reaction with severity degree of liver fibrosis was analyzed with SPSSl6.0 software statistically. Results Age of severe 1iver fibrosis group at Kasai procedure were 38- 89 d, and the mean age was (62.64 ± 14.92) d. Age of low-grade 1iver fibrosis group were 18- 92 d, and the mean age was (53.13 ± 16.89) d. There was significant difference (t=2.071, P=0.044). Mean number of patients with header bile ductuler proliferation at Kasai procedure in severe 1iver fibrosis group and low-grade 1iver fibrosis group were (17.28 ± 4.31) cases and (11.39 ± 4.00) cases, and there was significant difference (t=4.900, P=0.000). There was significant difference in degree of hepatocellular pathological changes at Kasai procedure between groups (χ2 =4.691, P=0.030). There were no significant differences in the volume of portal fibrous tissue in volume (t=0.276, P=0.784), portal bile ducts proliferation (t=0.53, P=0.60) and inflammation reaction (χ2=3.074, P=0.080) between groups. Conclusions There is significant relevance between the degree of 1iver fibrosis in biliary atresia patients at Kasai procedure and age, level of hepatocellular pathological change and degree of header bile ductuler proliferation , The more older the age, the more sever the hepatocellular pathological change and the bile ductuler proliferation, the more sever the liver fibrous.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of less invasive stabilization systems (LISS) fixation and double plating on the treatment of AO-type C3 distal femoral fractures via anterior midline approach.Methods From June 2014 to March 2017,18 cases of AO-type C3 distal femoral fractures treated in our department were recruited in this study.They were 12 males and 6 females,at a mean age of 19-62 years.There were 11 cases due to traffic accidents and 7 due to falls from heights.Six of them had open fractures and 12 had closed fractures.They all were treated with LISS fixation and double plating with anterior midline incision.Kolment and Wulff criteria were used to evaluate knee joint function after internal fixation at the last time of follow-up.Results For all the subjects,the average operative time was 145 (110 to 200) min,and they were followed up for 17.5 (12 to 25) months.They all achieved primary wound healing,and had an average time of 22 (20 to 26) weeks for fracture healing.No nonunion,infection,osteomyelitis or injuries of nerves and arteries were observed.According to the results of Kolment and Wulff criteria for knee joint function evaluation,6 of them got excellent,9 good,2 fair and 1 poor outcomes,with a rate of 83.33％ for good and excellent outcomes.Conclusion The treatment of type C3 distal femoral fractures via anterior middle approach of knee joint can fully reveal the articular surface of the femoral condyle.And the operative vision is clear,making it easy for anatomical reduction of articular surface fractures.Combined with LISS double locking plates fixation treatment,it can avoid the injury of soft tissue,and the fracture also be rigid fixation.Postoperative early functional exercise should be allowed to obtain good clinical results.

Objective To investigate the influence of an anti-integrin α6 monoclonal antibody (GoH3) on the in vitro infection of a human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT with HPV6/11 virus particles (VP). Methods HaCaT cells were infected in vitro with 4 different concentrations of HPV6/11 VP alone, HPV6/11 VP of 106 copies/ml after incubation with 6 different dilutions of GoH3, or 8 clinical isolates of HPV6/11 VP of 106 copies/ml before or after the incubation with 1∶ 100 dilution of GoH3. After additional culture, the infected HaCaT cells were collected and fluorescence quantitative (FQ)-PCR was performed to detect the HPV DNA load in cells. The inhibition rate of CoH3 on the infection was calculated. Results The viral load was different among the HaCaT cells infected with different concentrations of HPV6/11 VP (P < 0.01). The inhibition rate on the infection positively correlated with the concentration of CoH3 when the dilution was more than 1∶ 100; however, when the dilution was less than 1∶ 100, the increase in CoH3 concentration had no influence on the inhibition rate. The average viral load in HaCaT cells infected with clinical isolates of HPV6/11 VP was (5.81 ± 2.51) × 104 copies/ml in the absence of GoH3, (3.02 ± 1.21) × 104 copies/ml with the presence of CoH3, and the average inhibition rate of GoH3 was (46.9 ± 4.7)%. Conclusions GoH3 could partially suppress the adhesion of HPV6/11 VP to HaCaT cells, hinting that integrin a6 is an important HPV6/11 VP receptor on host cells.

Objective To investigate the expression of integrin α6 mRNA in skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminata. Methods Sixty outpatients with condyloma acuminate, including 30 primary cases and 30 recurrent cases were enrolled in the study;30 non-condyloma acuminate patients undergoing circumcision were used as normal controls. The expression of integrin α6 mRNA in condyloma acuminata lesions of primary and recurrent cases, as well as in skin samples of normal controls were determined by RTPCR. ANOVA was used to compare the differences among the groups, and Student-Newman-Keuls test(q test)was used for pairwise comparisons. Results Relative contents of integrin α6 mRNA(integrin α6/GAPDH)in normal controls, primary and recurrent condyloma acuminata lesions were 0.25±0.10, 0.79±0.16 and 1.07±0.29, respectively, and the difference was of statistical significance(F=127.687, P=0.001). Conclusion Integrin α6 may be associated with the pathogenesis and recurrence of condyloma acuminate, which may provide a new target for prevention and treatment of the disease.

Objective To explore an effective treatment for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods By the method of random and control,patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group(32 patients)was treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy,including super-early operation,conventional western medicine and Chuanxiongqin injection treatment.The control group(40 patients)was treated with operation and conventional western medicine treatment.The effect was evaluated on 28 th day after treatment.Results The effect of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group(χ~2=4.15,3.26,P＜0.05).The treatment group had lower mortality rate(χ~2=8.04,P＜0.05)and lower morbidity of complications(pulmonary infection:6/16 cases,χ~2=11.37,P=0.01;upper-congestive hemorrhage:8/16 cases,χ~2=4.10,P=0.04)statistical data indicated that there was significant difference between treatment group and control group.Conclusion Super-early operation with traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral henorrhage has a better effect than the treatment without traditional Chinese medicine.
