Objective To investigate the cytokine spectrum of cultured human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells (A-MSC) for understanding its basis of molecular biology in hematopoietic in vitro.Methods Their hematopoietic cytokines expression was analyzed using RT-PCR in the mRNA level. Results It showed that in vitro subcultured human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells were capable to express many important hematopoietic cytokines such as LIF, SCF, M-CSF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-6, IL-11 and so on. Conclusion Production of abundant of hematopoietic cytokines by human amniotic-derived mesenchymal stem cells may be effective for hematopoietic support and HSC transplantation.

Objective To evaluate changes in cerebral blood flow before and after cranioplasty by 256-slice Spiral CT perfusion imaging,and evaluate the effect of cranioplasty on the cerebral blood flow in patients with skull defect.Methods 256-slice spiral CT scan was performed in 20 cases with early cranioplasty surgery,CTP check time points were 1 to 2 days before and 10 to 14 days after cranioplasty surgery.We recorded the the CBF and CBV of the cortex,basal ganglia,and thalamus and other parts,MTT on rCBV,parameter values rCBF,MTT and 1TrP etc.and analyzed and compared.(RCBF,rCBV,MTT and TTP) Results The CBF of cortex after cranioplasty at injured side had statistically significant increase (P<0.05).The CBF of cortex,basic nuclei,thalamus on contrateral had no statistically significant difference.The cerebral blood flow on both sides of the basal ganglia and the thalamus was increased after surgery,but there was no significant difference between before and after surgery (P>0.05) Conclusion Cranioplasty can significantly improve the ipsilateral cortex cerebral blood flow,and CT brain perfusion can accurately assess changes in brain tissue blood flow before and after cranioplasty.

Objective To explore the exposure condition of DDR, screen -film radiography and the radiation dose to patients, and evaluate value of the DDR system. Methods Five thousand images of DDR and screen-film radiography were selected and then analyzed by three junior radiologists and two senior radiologists. Results 1.The quality of the images was classified into grades A ,B ,C: grade A in 92.8 % , grade B in 7.2 % , grade C in 0% ,waste in 0 % for DDR group and grade A in 40.8% , grade B in 41.7 %,grade C in 15.5 % ,waste in 2% for screen-film radiography group. 2. The required voltage of DDR system raises 3-24kV than screen-film radiography and radiation exposure was increased about 25 % . Conclusions The imaging quality of DDR was obviously higher than the screen -film radiography, but the disadvantage of DDR system was the higher exposure condition required, which increase X-ray radiation dose for patients.

Objective:To explore the value of the elasticity contrast index (ECI) in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, and contrast the effect of 4 different methods on measuring ECI.Methods:A total of 122 patients with 131 thyroid nodules in Binzhou Medical University Hospital from May 2018 to May 2019 were enrolled, and elastography was performed in 4 different ways such as in axial plane for internal (AI), axial plane for periintranodular (AP), longitudinal plane for internal (LI) and longitudinal plane for periintranodular (LP). The cut-off values for predicting malignant nodules in 4 different ways were determined separately using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results:There were 54 benign and 77 malignant ones in 131 nodules. The ECI in AI, AP, LI and LP in benign thyroid nodules was significantly lower than that in malignant ones: 2.10 (1.48, 2.34) vs. 3.07 (2.73, 3.87), 1.91 (1.64, 2.18) vs. 2.62 (2.24, 3.07), 2.19 (1.59, 2.39) vs. 3.00 (2.72, 3.63) and 1.89 (1.71, 2.16) vs. 2.66 (2.21, 3.10), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Among the 4 different ways, the largest area under curve was achieved in AI with 0.925, and the corresponding optimal diagnostic threshold was 2.43 (with 90.9% sensitivity, 87.0% specificity, 88.5% accuracy, 89.7% positive predictive value and 86.8% negative predictive value). Conclusions:ECI is helpful for conventional ultrasound to diagnose thyroid nodules as malignant or benign. The best value is obtained in AI.

Objective To explore the effects of extract of Gingko biloba leaves (EGb) on learning, memory and hippoeampal heine oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in diabetic rats.Methods The behaviors of streptozotoein-induced diabetic rats were observed by Morris water maze for learning and memory after 6 months of diabetes.The HO-1 mRNA expression and protein expression in hippocampus of diabetic rats were detected by RT- PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively.Results The escape latency time in Morris water maze of diabetic rats was prolonged markedly.HO-1 mRNA and HO-1 protein expressions in hippocampus of diabetic rats were increased (1.635?0.326 vs 0.978?0.214,7.2?1.7 vs 1.9?0.5,respectively,both P<0.01).The escape latency times in EGb (100,50 mg/kg) treated groups were shortened.HO-1 mRNA and HO-1 protein expressions in hippocampus were decreased at the same time as compared with diabetic group (100 mg/kg:0.954?0.144,2.0?0.8;50 mg/kg:0.988?0.154,2.5?0.6,all P<0.01).Conclusion EGb can significantly inhibit HO-1 expression in hippocampus and improve learning and memory dysfunction in diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy on spastic pelvic floor syndrome (SPFS) treated with electroacupuncture (EA) at Shangliao (BL 31), Ciliao (BL 32), Zhongliao (BL 33) and Xialiao (BL 34).
METHODSThirty-six cases of SPFS were treated with EA at Shangliao (BL 31), Ciliao (BL 32), Zhongliao (BL 33) and Xialiao (BL 34), intermittent wave, 60 times/min in frequency, retained for 20 min. In general, the acupoints on one side were stimulated in each treatment. The bilateral acupoints stimulation was applied in serious cases. The treatment was given once every two days, five treatments made one session and totally three sessions were required. Before and after treatment, the clinical symptoms, anal kinetic indices defecation radiographic changes were observed. The follow-up observation was done in three months after the end of treatment.
RESULTSIn three-months follow-up after treatment, 14 cases were cured, 18 cases improved and 4 cases failed. The total effective rate was 88. 9%. After treatment, the cases of incomplete defecation, difficult defecation, anal pain and anal obstruction were reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment, indicating the statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). After treatment, rectal anal reflex threshold (ARA) was increased, anal maximal contraction pressure (AMCP) was reduced to (16.62±1.54) kPa and anal rest pressure (ARP) was significantly reduced to (7.22±0.36) kPa, indicating the statistical differences as compared with those before treatment (all P<0.01). After treatment, anorectal angle (ARA) in forceful defecation was increased to (116.55±9.42)°, the distance between the anorectal junction and the pubococcygeal line was decreased, and the impression of puborectal muscle was alleviated apparently as compared with that before treatment (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONEA at Shangliao (BL 31), Ciliao (BL 32), Zhongliao (BL 33) and Xialiao (BL 34) achieves definite efficacy on SPFS and this therapeutic method obviously relieves the symptoms and deserves to be promoted in clinic.
