Objective To explore the value of spectral CT quantitative parameters combined with clinical and CT features for predicting lymphovascular invasion(LVI)of colorectal cancer.Methods Clinical,pathological and preoperative abdominal spectral CT data of 98 colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed.According to pathological results,the patients were divided into LVI group(n=36)and non-LVI group(n=62).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to compared clinical,pathological,conventional CT manifestations and spectral CT quantitative parameters between groups to screen independent predictors for LVI of colorectal cancer,and then a regression model was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn,and the area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each single independent predictor and regression model for predicting LVI of colorectal cancer.Results Serum carbohydrate antigen 724,CT showed periintestinal fat infiltration and effective atomic number(Zeff)at venous phase were all independent predictors of LVI of colorectal cancer(OR=4.723,7.301 and 18.912,all P＜0.05).AUC of the above independent predictors was 0.582,0.723 and 0.691,respectively,while of the regression model was 0.837.Conclusion Spectral CT quantitative parameters combined with clinical and CT features could effectively predict LVI of colorectal cancer.

Dual-layer spectral detector CT is a new spectrum CT imaging technology based on detector being able to obtain both images similar to true plain and spectral images in one time scanning.The reconstructed multi-parameter spectral images can not only improve image quality,enhance tissue contrast,increase the visualization and detection ability of occult lesions,but also provide qualitative and quantitative analysis of the lesions,so as to provide more imaging information and multi-dimensional diagnostic basis.The research progresses of dual-layer spectral detector CT for preoperative evaluation on colorectal cancer were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in the treatment of bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion and risk factors of bleeding recurrence .Methods:From April 2013 to May 2020, at Air Force Medical Center, the clinical data of 65 patients with confirmed or suspected bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into DBE treatment group (patients of Yano classification 1a and 1b received argon plasma coagulation, and patients of Yano classification 2 and 3 accepted combination of titanium clip and submucosal injection of lauromacrogol sclerosing agent) and non-DBE treatment group (traditional treatments such as stopping anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, blood transfusion, and iron supplementation). The bleeding recurrence of patients with single small intestinal vascular lesion between DBE treatment group and non-DBE treatment group, and patients with single or mulitiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group were compared. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of patients with or without recurrent bleeding. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors and protective factors of recurrent bleeding in small intestinal vascular lesion. Independent sample t test, chi-square test and Fisher exact probability method were used for statistical analysis. Results:Forty-four (25 of single vascular lesion and 19 of multiple vascular lesion) patients were diagnosed with small intestinal vascular lesions and received DBE treatment (DBE treatment group). Twenty-one patients with single vascular lesion accepted traditional treatment (non-DBE treatment group). The recurrent rate of bleeding in patients with single vascular lesion of DBE treatment group was lower than that in patients with single vascular lesion of non-DBE treatment group and patients with multiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group (24.0%, 6/25 vs. 71.4%, 15/21 and 12/19), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.348 and 6.848, P=0.001 and 0.009). The results of univariate analysis showed that the proportion of blood transfusion, hypertension, complicated with valvular heart disease and DBE treatment in patients with rebleeding or not rebleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion was different with statistically significant (69.7%(23/33) vs. 37.5%(12/32), 51.5%(17/33) vs. 18.8%(6/32), 42.4%(14/33) vs. 12.5%(4/32) and 54.5%(18/33) vs. 81.2%(26/32), χ2=6.777, 7.628, 7.265, and 5.298, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that blood transfusion during the course of disease (odds ratien ( OR)=3.736, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.082 to 12.898, P=0.037) and complication with valvular heart disease ( OR=4.916, 95% CI 1.107 to 21.829, P=0.036) were independent risk factors of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesions. DBE treatment was the protective factor of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion ( OR=0.214, 95% CI 0.057 to 0.808, P=0.023). Conclusions:DBE is effective in the treatment of small intestinal vascular lesion bleeding, especially for single vascular lesion. Blood transfusion during disease course and complication with valvular heart disease are independent risk factors for bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion.

Objective To study the effects of γ-IFN on the expression of HLA-G mRNA in primary cultured astrocytoma cells. Methods Different concentrations of γ-IFN were added to primary cultured cells, and HLA-G mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results After γ-IFN treatment, HLA-G mRNA can not be determined from HLA-G originally negative astrocytoma cells. The expression of HLA-G are up - regulated in all original HLA-G positive astrocytoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion γ-IFN can increase the ex-pression of HLA-G gene in the primary cultured astrocytoma cells which HLA - G are originally positive.

Objective To investigate the concentration changes of endothelin-1(ET-1) in brain after cerebral ischemia pretreatment in the rats and the relationship of ET-1 and ischemia tolerance. Methods Cerebral ischemia pretreatment was performed by ameliorated obstructing four blood vessels in wistar rats. The concentrations of ET-1 in brain were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA). Results The concentrations of ET-1 in brain in the expreimental groups of 12 hour and 24 hour were higher than that of non-pretreatment( P
