Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of CT and MRI in spinal trauma.Methods 41 cases of spinal trauma in patients with spinal CT scan and MRI image data were retrospectively analyzed and compared.Results MRI examination revealed 41 cases of spinal fractures,CT showed 38 cases of fracture; MRI examination revealed 10 cases of bone contusion,CT scan found 1 case of bone contusion;MRI examination revealed 15 cases of anterior longitudinal ligament injury,12 cases occurred posterior longitudinal ligament injury,CT scan found that the anterior longitudinal ligament and posterior longitudinal ligament injury of 2 cases of MRI detection rate was significantly higher than CT(P ＜ 0.05).120 bone chips CT findings,MRI examination revealed 83 cases of bone chips,the difference was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion CT and MRI of spinal trauma are two commonlyways of imaging examination.There are advantages and disadvantages of CT examination of the bone chips shift and so can be clearly shown MRI for ligament injury.Bone contusion can be clearly demonstrated for the general compression fractures in MRI examination.Commimcted fracture should be added to do a CT scan.

A novel layered target is designed to evaluating the axial resolution of very -high -frequency B -type ultrasonoscope. Compared with the conventional target made of tungsten wire, the target proves to be accurate, reliable and easy to make and to use, and thus it is a potential gauge or a test tool.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the geographic mark protection of genuine Chinese crude drugs so as to promote its intellectual property protection. METHODS: Zhe-Ba-Wei was taken as an example to reveal the crisis of the development of Genuine Chinese Crude Drugs; the protection means between trade mark and Geographic Mark was compared, and some special problems arose in Geographic Mark Protection of Genuine Chinese Crude Drugs were discussed. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: Geographic mark protection is an effective legal means. However, a series of problems, such as confirmation of best habitat, establishment of Chinese crude drugs standard, and confliction between geographic name and geographic mark etc remained to be tackled.

Arginine-8-vasopressin (AVP) could promote the acquisition of shuttle-box passive avoidance behavior and delay the extinction of the behavior when injected into the hippocampus of rats.Intrahippocampal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) prevented AVP from enhancing memory.The authors had also observed that AVP could accelerate the degradation of cate-cholamine in the hippocampus when the contents of monoamine transmitters and their metabolites were analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. These facts suggest that vasopressin promotes the shuttle-box passive avoidance behavior in rats,strcnthens long-term memory as well as short-term memory,and exerts its effect on memory through its enhancing the degradation of norepinephrine and/or dopamine in the hippocampus.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism for the self-limitation of adenoviral infections in human airway,the different impacts of adenovirus serotype 5 ( Ad5 ) and serotype 7 ( Ad7 ) infections on mucin 1 ( MUC1 ) expression in airway epithelial cells were preliminarily investigated.Methods The Ad5 and the Ad7 infection models were established in A549 cell line.qRT-PCR was performed to determine the transcription of MUC1 mRNA,and the expression of MUC1 in A549 cells infected by Ad5 or Ad7 was by detected Western blot.Results An up-regulation of the MUC1 mRNA level were observed after Ad5 infection for 6 h(P＜0.05 ),and the protein expression level of MUC1 increased in a time-dependent manner in 48 hours of Ad5 infection,while similar response of MUC1 mRNA was absent in Ad7 infection (6 h),even after prolonged (20 h) treatment ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion This study reveals an up-regulation of MUC1 expression as one of the early immune response to Ad5 infection,which implies that MUC1 may function fully or partially as an anti-inflammatory factor in the self-limitation effect of Ad5 infection.However,type7 adenoviral infection,may introduce a mechanism otherwise,but through MUC1.

Objective To explore if the tumor cell can up-regulate the proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells. Methods Lymphoma cell EL-4 supernatant was combined with the normal mise spleen lymphocyte. After cultured 72 hours, CD4+CD25+ subset were analyzed by flow cytometry and the gene expression level of the specific marker Foxp3 were tested by RT-PCR. The experiment repeated three times. Results The supematant derived from EL-4 can increase the proportion of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in normal mouse spleen lymphocytes than that of the control group. Moreover, when added the CD3 McAb with EL-4 supematant together, the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells increased. The level of corresponding Foxp3 mRNA also increased. Conclusion These data suggested that in the supernatant may occur immune regulatory factors which up-regulated the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells and indicated that the tumorigenesis can facilitate proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.

Objective To discuss the value of double stimulations and mild ovarian stimulation combined with Gn-RH-antagonist in patients with decreased ovarian reserve receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer ( IVF-ET) . Methods 283 patients with decreased ovarian reserve who accepted in vitro fertilization were analyzed retro-spectively. 204 cases accepted double stimulations and 79 cases accepted mild ovarian stimulation combined with GnRH-antagonist, compared the outcomes of the two protocols. Results The average number of oocytes retrieved, viable embryos,high-quality embryos,consumption and duration of Gn,the serum progesterone( P) level on trigger day in the luteal phase were significantly higher than those in follicular phase. The serum luteinizing hormone( LH) level on trigger day was lower than that in follicular phase. The average number of oocytes retrieved,high-quality embryos,consumption and duration of gonadotropins( Gn) in mild stimulation combined with GnRH-antagonist were higher than those in follicular phase. LH level on trigger day was lower than those in follicular phase, while the numbers of viable embryos were similar. The consumption and duration of Gn in the luteal phase were higher than in stimulation combined with GnRH-antagonist, and there were no differences in the average number of oocytes re-trieved,viable embryos,high-quality embryos between the two groups. The cycle cancellation rate, available rate of oocytes and embryos were similar between the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. The available rate of embryos in double stimulations was higher than mild ovarian stimulation combined with GnRH-antagonist,and the abortion rate was lower. Conclusion Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during luteal phase can get better outcomes in patients with decreased ovarian reserve,double stimulations in the same menstrual cycle shortens the treatment time of IVF-ET,and it is a feasible method for patients with decreased ovarian reserve.

Objective:To analyse the salivary cortisol changes in patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD)after electrical stimulation,and the relationship between cortisol and pain catastrophizing.Methods:1 1 TMD and 1 1 healthy subjects were evoked by electrical stimulation.The saliva samples were collested before test,50 s and 1 00 s of stimulation after test seperately.Salivary cortisol was analysed by ELISA kit.The pain catastrophizing scale(PCS)was answered by all the subjects before stimulation.Data were statis-tically analysed.Results:The salivary cortisol concentration in TMD patients was higher than that in the controls(P <0.05).After stimulation,it showed a downward trend.No interaction between time and groups.The total scores of PCS including three indexes(ru-mination,magnification,helpless)were positively correlated with salivary cortisol concentration.Conclusion:The unpredictable stress causes high level of cortisol.which is related to pain catastrophizing.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)is a disease of unknown etiology that leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR),if untreated,ultimately right heart failure and high mortality.It is concerted pulmonary vascular contraction and vascular remodeling are the 2 main courses of physiology and pathology leading to PAH,especially the significant role of proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.A lot of relevant factors are revealed to take a participation into regulating the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells and finally PAH.
