Objective To investigate the effect of Jiawei Simiao powder on the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway through miR-146a in monosodium urate(MSU)crystal-induced RAW264.7 macrophage inflammation models,and to explore its anti-inflammatory mechanism.Methods A cell model of gouty arthritis was established by inducing RAW264.7 cells with MSU crystals.Cells were divided into control,model,Jiawei Simiao powder,and colchicine groups and cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method.Levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Expression levels of miR-146a miRNA and TLR4,myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88),TNF receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6),and NF-κB p65 mRNA were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction amplification technology,and protein expression levels of TLR4,MyD88,TRAF6,and phospho(p)-NF-κB p65 were evaluated by Western blot.Results miR-146a expression was significantly decreased in the model group compared with the control group(P<0.01),while mRNA and protein expression levels of TLR4,MyD88,and TRAF6,and protein expression of p-NF-κB p65,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α were significantly increased(P<0.01).In contrast,miR-146a expression was significantly increased(P<0.01)and mRNA and protein expression of TLR4,MyD88,and TRAF6,and p-NF-κB p65 protein expression(P<0.01),as well as IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels(P<0.05)were significantly decreased in the Jiawei Simiao powder and colchicine groups.Conclusions Jiawei Simiao powder may alleviate MSU crystal-induced macrophage inflammatory responses by upregulating miR-146a,suppressing TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation,and decreasing secretion of inflammatory factors.

Objective:
To determine whether T1 mapping could monitor the dynamic changes of injury in myocardial infarction (MI) and be histologically validated.
Materials and Methods:
In 22 pigs, MI was induced by ligating the left anterior descending artery and they underwent serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance examinations with modified Look-Locker inversion T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) computation in acute (within 24 hours, n = 22), subacute (7 days, n = 13), and chronic (3 months, n = 7) phases of MI. Masson’s trichrome staining was performed for histological ECV calculation. Myocardial native T1 and ECV were obtained by region of interest measurement in infarcted, peri-infarct, and remote myocardium.
Results:
Native T1 and ECV in peri-infarct myocardium differed from remote myocardium in acute (1181 ± 62 ms vs. 1113 ± 64 ms, p = 0.002; 24 ± 4% vs. 19 ± 4%, p = 0.031) and subacute phases (1264 ± 41 ms vs. 1171 ± 56 ms, p < 0.001; 27 ± 4% vs. 22 ± 2%, p = 0.009) but not in chronic phase (1157 ± 57 ms vs. 1120 ± 54 ms, p = 0.934; 23 ± 2% vs. 20 ± 1%, p = 0.109). From acute to chronic MI, infarcted native T1 peaked in subacute phase (1275 ± 63 ms vs. 1637 ± 123 ms vs. 1471 ± 98 ms, p < 0.001), while ECV progressively increased with time (35 ± 7% vs. 46 ± 6% vs. 52 ± 4%,p < 0.001). Native T1 correlated well with histological findings (R2 = 0.65 to 0.89, all p < 0.001) so did ECV (R2 = 0.73 to 0.94, all p < 0.001).
Conclusion
T1 mapping allows the quantitative assessment of injury in MI and the noninvasive monitoring of tissue injury evolution, which correlates well with histological findings.

This study summarized the experiences of disease-specific performance appraisal at tertiary hospitals in Shanghai,which was launched since year 2013 by Shanghai Hospital Development Center (SHDC). 38 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai were included in the study. A disease-specific performance appraisal system centering on quality and performance, by means of case-mix model, classified surgery management and typical disease screening, and leveraging disease and surgery difficulties analysis, and inter-hospital performance appraisal of typical diseases. This reform has established appraisal criteria of disease difficulty management,coding criteria and data norms,guiding such hospitals to consolidate their functional positioning of focusing on difficult,urgent and complicated cases in the medical service delivery system.All these efforts have paved the way for the reforms to build a hierarchical medical service system, pricing per disease, payment per disease, and consolidate performance appraisal of medical workers.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between characteristics of cervical cancer at contrast-enhanced ultrasound and prognostic factors.Methods Thirty-five patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer were enrolled in this retrospective analysis.All the patients accepted contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination before the surgery.Relationships between the characters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and the expression of ki-67 antigen(cell proliferation marker),tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis and histologic grade were studied.Results (1)Compared to the surrounding normal tissue, the cervical cancer had statistically significant differences in time to peak and peak intensity(P <0.05),the former was shortened,and the latter was increased.(2 )The ratio of perfusion defect and heterogeneous enhancement were significantly higher in tissues,including the ki-67 positive expression tissue,poorly differentiated or larger tumors (≥ 2.0 cm in diameter)(P < 0.05 ).(3 )Compared to the ki-67 negative expression group,time to peak of the ki-67 positive expression group was shorter and the peak intensity was higher,the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 ).(4 )The peak intensity of poorly differentiated cervical cancers was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P <0.05).Conclusions Enhancement patterns and parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound were associated with prognosis, which may be useful in noninvasive prediction of the patients with cervical cancers.
