Objective To investigate the correlation between normal ascending aortic elasticity and the left ventricular function by 256 slice iCT.Methods 105 subjects who underwent CTA and echocardiography inspection and diagnosed with normal coronary artery and without ascending aortic atherosclerosis were collected.Subjects were divided into three groups according to age and two groups according to gender respectively.Left ventricular function parameter values on CT were measured, including ESV,EDV,SV,EF,CO and MM.The aortic elasticity on CT and echocardiography was measured and calculated respectively on cross-sectional area at 15 mm above aortic valve.The relationship between ascending aortic elasticity and the left ventricular function was evaluated.Results Bland-Altman plot revealed that there was a good conformity between CT and echocardiography in measurement the value of ascending aortic elasticity(ICC=0.988,P<0.05).In different grougs of age,normal ascending aortic elasticity was positively correlated with EDV,ESV,SV,EF and negatively correlated with MM.There was no correlation with the CO.There was a negative relationship between aortic elasticity and age(r=-0.546,P<0.05)

Objective To investigate the effects of phosphocreatine postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR)injury in rats.Methods Thirty-six SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:groups Sham,IR (treated with normal saline)and PCr.IR was induced by intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).All treatments were given intravenously at the begining of reperfusion.Twenty-four hours after the reperfusion, neurological deficit score and magnetic resonance scan were performed.serum concentrations of malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal,cere-bral infarct volume and destruction of cerebral cortex were estimated.Neuronal apoptosis was further assessed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescent staining of caspase-3 and NeuN. Results Compared with group IR,phosphocreatine significantly decreased neurological deficit score, infarct volume,malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal levels(P < 0.05 ).Cortex structure was more complete,as well as neuronal apoptotic index was smaller in group PCr (P <0.05).Conclusion PCr can reduce cerebral infarct volume,thereby promote neurofunctional recovery.The mechanism of Pcr is related to reduced oxidative stress and inhibitted apopotosis during IR.

Anatomic structure in craniofacial region is very complicated and orthognathic surgery is difficultly performed.Therefore,it is necessary to generate virtual surgical model from CT scan data before operation on personal computer in order to make surgery more accurate.This technique has been increasingly interested in the field of orthognathic surgery both at home and abroad.The sample was scanned with thin-layer CT.CT image data (336 layer,1.0 mm slice thickness) were analyzed with the Mimics software.Simultaneously,three-dimensional model and virtual surgery of the facial cranium were established.The digitized virtual surgical platform of facial cranium was preliminarily created,and three common surgical methods in maxillofacial surgery,i.e.,LeFort Ⅰ osteotomy,mandibular angle osteotomy,and genioplasty,for maxillofacial surgery were simulated.The results showed that the digitized virtual surgical platform of facial cranium could be generated with the Mimics software on personal computer,which provides convenient and quick methods for research,teaching,and clinical surgery.More importantly,it creates theoretical basis for virtual surgical platform which can be widely used on personal computer.

Objective To investigate the distribution of blaOXA-51-like genes and the clonal relation-ship among Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from three teaching hospitals in Guangzhou , China. Methods Fifty-two Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were genotyped by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).eBURST algorithm was performed to define clonal complexes (CCs).blaOXA-51-like genes were am-plified by using polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) and sequenced .Results MLST grouped the A.bauman-nii isolates into 5 existing sequence types (STs) and 7 new STs.STn4 carried allele G1 with a T→C muta-tion at the 3rd nucleotide site (nt3) on the gpi111 locus.STn5 carried allele A1, possessing A→C muta-tions at nt156 and nt159 on the gltA1 locus.ST195 and ST208 accounted for 69.2%of all isolates.Clonal relationship analysis showed that ST 195 and ST208 belonged to CC92.Fifty-one A.baumannii isolates car-ried OXA-66 and the rest one carried OXA-199.Conclusion A.baumannii strains that belonged to CC92 and carried OXA-66 were the predominant genotype circulating in Guangzhou , China.

Objective To investigate correlative relations between the ultrasonic classification diagnosis and the clinicopathological features of thyroid calcification lesions.Methods The clinical data of 198 cases diagnosed as thyroid calcification lesions by ultrasonic,surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Spearman method was used to analyze the relationship of TCL ultrasonic diagnosis,clinical pathological traits and the classification of differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC).Results Among the 198 TCL cases,ultrasonic diagnosis and pathologic diagnosis were accordant in 178 (90.40%) cases.Among 119(60.10%) cases of thyroid carcinoma (TC),101 cases(84.87%)were papillary carcinoma,11 cases(9.24%)were follicular carcinoma,5 cases(4.20%) were medullary carcinoma and 2 cases(1.68%)were anaplastic carcinoma.Among 79 cases (39.90%) of benign lesions,34 cases(43.04%)were adenoma,27 cases(34.18%)were nodular goiter,and 18 cases(22.78%)were hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).Calcified classification were as following 74 cases (37.37%)were type Ⅰ a and 4 cases (2.02%) were type Ⅰ b(both were TC);20 cases(10.10%)were type Ⅰ c,among which 19 cases were nodular goiter,and 1 case was TC.Among the 37 cases (23.74%) of type Ⅱ,28 cases were TC,and 19 cases were benign lesions.Among the 20 cases(10.10%) of type Ⅲ,8 cases were TC,and 12 cases were benign lesions.Among 22 cases(11.11%) of type Ⅳ,2 cases were TC,and 20 cases were benign lesions.Among 11 cases(5.56%) of type V patients,2 cases were TC,and 9 cases were benign lesions.The rate of TC with cervical metastasis was 41.18%(49/119).68.91%(82/119) of carcinoma nodules were grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ in color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI),grade 0-Ⅰ were mainly benign nodules,and grade Ⅲ with mussy blood flow in CDFI were HT.Conclusions Type Ⅰ a and Ⅰ b micro calcification is the pathological basis of ultrasonic diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular carcinoma,which is closely related to DTC.Calcified isolation nodule of type Ⅱ and Ⅲ with level Ⅱ-Ⅲ bleeding is a risk factor for TC.Type Ⅰ c,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴcalcification is closely related to benign TCL.CDFI has important value for identifying benign and malignant CLT.

Objective To investigate protective effects of dexmedetomidine on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/R)-induced neuronal apoptosis.Methods SH-SY5Y cells were differentiated to neurons with ATRA and followed by TPA.According to the results of preliminary experiment, OGD/R modle was constructed by oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD) for 12 h and reperfusion(R) for another 12 h.During the start of the OGD, neurons were immediately divided into six groups: group D0(0 μmol/L dexmedetomidine), group D1(0.1 μmol/L dexmedetomidine), group D2 (1 μmol/L dexmedetomidine), group D3 (10 μmol/L dexmedetomidine), group D4(100 μmol/L dexmedetomidine), group D5 (1 000 μmol/L dexmedetomidine).After reperfusion 12 h, the cell viability was evaluated by the method of MTT.The cellular apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry method.The protective effects of different concentration dexmedetomidine on OGD/R-induced neuronal apoptosis were investigated.Then in chosen the exact group having protective effects, endoplasmic reticulum stress specific protein mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) and pro-apoptotic protein Caspase-3 and CHOP were detected by Westernblot method.Results Compared with group D0, there was no difference on the cell viability and cellular apoptosis induced by OGD/R in groups D1 and D2, but a significant decrease and increase in groups D4 and D5 (P<0.01 or P<0.05).And only group D3 had a neuroprotective effect, significantly increased the cell viability and inhibited the apoptosis (P<0.01).Further studys found that group D3 significantly up-regulated ER stress specific protein MANF (P<0.01) and inhibited up-regulation of Caspase-3 and CHOP (P<0.01).Conclusion These data suggest that 10 μmol/L dexmedetomidine had neuroprotective effect on OGD/R-induced neuronal apoptosis and significantly increased cell viability.Our results also indicate that up-regulation of ER stress specific protein MANF and inhibition of CHOP and Caspase-3 by MANF are involved in the neuroprotective effects of Dexmedetomidine.
