OBJECTIVE: To investigate the CT virtual endoscopy (CTVE) shows the display method of the normal structure of the middle ear, and evaluation of middle ear disease, particularly in the value and significance of the connection status of the ossicular chain, established display ossicular chain and middle ear structure methods. METHOD: Volume scanning with a spiral CT unit was performed in forty normal cases and thirty patients with suspected lesions of middle ear. Respectively, with Germany's Siemens (Siemens SOMATOM Sensation 16) spiral CT the Inner Ear scanner patients with axial scanning, reconstruction of the original image, the software selected Fly-through A, B, C the point approach CTVE imaging studies. Focus ossicular chain connection status, and chronic otitis media shown the results of surgery in exploratory image control. RESULT: Normal group CTVE in the hammer bone, incus promontory, facial nerve, the lateral semicircular canal display rate was 100%; stapes, the two arch of the display rate in three display levels, respectively, to 57.5%, 70.0%, 97.5%; round window, oval window was 90.0%, 93.0%, 97.5%. Ossicular injury, displacement, interruption, deletion, deformity in cases of otitis media, trauma, temporal bone malformations. CONCLUSION CTVE link relations between the three ossicles (such as interrupt, etc.) have a certain advantage. By choosing the appropriate approach, CTVE has a considerable advantage in the ossicles and their connections, relations as well as pathological state. By comparing CTVE in three different display levels,the technique of CTVE is considered to be an advantageous supplement of tomography.

Objective To investigate the expression of the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and integrin β1 in vaginal anterior wall of the model rats with stress urinary incontinence. Methods Twenty-four healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, group A rats as control group without any treatment;group B rats only with vaginal expansion;group C rats with vaginal expansion and bilateral ovaries removed. At postoperative four weeks to determine the maximum bladder capacity (MBC)and abdominal pressure leakage point pressure (ALPP), to establish detection model for stress urinary incontinence. Modeling successfully executed in rats after four weeks after vaginal anterior wall tissue,immunohistochemical staining method and real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR technique to detect the expression of CTGF and integrinβ1. Results The urine flow dynamic detection(MBC,ALPP)B and C group was significantly lower than group A, there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05);CTGF mRNA and protein expression in group C was significantly lower than group A(P<0.05),there were no statistical significance between group A and group B (P>0 . 05);integrin β1 mRNA and protein in group C expression was low er than that in group A and B(P<0.05), and differences between A and B were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The anterior wall vaginal CTGF in rats in SUI and low expression of integrin β1 may be related to stress urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor support structure there is a close relationship of the occurrence of degenerative diseases of the pelvic floor support degenerative diseases.

Insulin autoimmune syndrome(IAS),also known as autoimmune hypoglycemia,is one of the rare causes of hypoglycemia.Here,we described a case of a 57-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who experienced recurrent and irregular severe hypoglycemic events after using lipoic acid.His insulin autoantibodies changed from negative to positive,and no pathogenic variation or suspected pathogenic variation related to the clinical feature of the subject was detected by gene test.Eventually,the patient was diagnosed as IAS.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CD14 gene rs2569192(C/G), rs3138078 (--1359G/T) and allergic rhinitis (AR) in Xinjiang Uygur and Han populations as well as to determine characteristics of polymorphisms. METHOD: A total of 300 AR and 300 healthy controls subjects were included. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles were detected as well as the levels of tIgE in different genotypes were compared. RESULT: (1) The distribution of genotypes or alleles of CD14 gene rs2569192 (C/G), rs3138078 (--1359G/T) had no differences between the Xinjiang Uygurs and Hans (P > 0.05). The highest frequency of alleles was C, G. (2) The frequencies of genotypes and alleles were not different between the AR and control group in Uygur and Han (P > 0.05). The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of rs2569192 were different between the Uygur AR and Han AR group (P < 0.05). (3) The distribution of genotype frequencies and allele of rs 2569192 in the Xinjiang Uygur and Han population were quite different from Chinese Beijing Han populations, Japanese, European and African (P < 0.05). (4) The serum total IgE level in AR group was higher than that in healthy control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION (1) rs2569192 (C/G), rs3138078 (--1359G/T) polymorphisms were not different between the Chinese Xinjiang Uygur and Han population. The major allele were both C and G. rs2569192 of CD14 in Xinjiang populations was different from that in the other populations. (2) No relationship between rs2569192, rs3138078 and AR was found. (3) The serum total IgE level in AR group was higher than that in healthy control group. No relationship between CD14 two SNP and serum total IgE level was found.
