Objective:To further explore the role and mechanism of hsa_circ_0001776 and mir-1265 in lung squamous carcinoma by verifying the expression level of hsa_circ_0001776 in plasma, tissues, and cells of lung squamous carcinoma.Methods:Plasma was collected from patients with lung squamous carcinoma treated at Tangshan People's Hospital and healthy individuals from 2020 to 2022. Lung squamous carcinoma tissue microarrays purchased from Shanghai Xinchao Biotechnology Company in 2022. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of hsa_circ_0001776 in lung squamous carcinoma plasma, tissues, and cells, and fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to verify the expression of hsa_circ_0001776 in lung squamous carcinoma. The localization of hsa_circ_0001776 in NCI-H1703 was verified by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Objective To study the features and differences of electromyography of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and alcoholic peripheral neuropathy (APN ), and to provide reference basis for the clinical application of electromyography.Methods 58 patients with DPN and 30 patients with APN were used as subjects. Nerve conduction studies (NCS)and sympathetic skin response (SSR)were performed in the patients, all data were analyzed.Results In the patients with DPN, the abnormalities of NCS and SSR were increased with the prolongation of the time diabetes,and the abnormality of SSR was higher than that of NCS(P<0.05).In the patients with APN, both demyelination and axonal loss in motor and sensory nerves were significantly involved, and the abnomalities of NCS and SSR were higher than those of the DPN patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01);but the proximal nerves were just involoved mildly. Conclusion Both DPN and APN have characteristic electrophysiological features.Early electromyography is useful for the early diagnosis of DPN and APN.According to the electrophysiological features of DPN and APN,the reason of peripheral neuropathy in the patients who have diabetes mellitus and alcoholism could be differentiated.

Objective BOLD-fMRI was used to observe the activated auditory cortex evoked by pure tone stimuli in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and this paper is to discuss the objective measure for patient with sensorineural hearing toss. Methods BOLD-fMRI examinations were taken in 22 patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorneural hearing loss and 15 control subjects. The volumes and intensities of the two hemispheres of the activated auditory cortex were analyzed quantitatively. Results Significant activation was found in the temporal lobe in control subjects, and significant differences in the volume and intensity were noted between the contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes in them (P<0.01), exhibiting clearly eontralateral predominance. When the normal ear of patients with sensorineural hearing loss received signals, there was no significant difference be-tween contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes (P>0.05). Conclusion When the normal ear of pa-tients with sensorneural hearing loss was stimulated by pure tone, the contralateral hemisphere predominance disap-peared. This result seems to show the plasticity of auditory cortex of patients with unilateral hearing loss.

Objective To evaluate the rehabilitating effect of hyperbaric oxygen on visual pathway lesions with blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Sixteen patients with visual pathway lesions (the study group) and twelve healthy volunteers (the control group) were assessed using BOLD-fMRI and DTI. After hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the patients in the study group were again assessed using BOLD-fMRI and DTI. The activated regions of the BOLD-fMRI scan and the fractional anisotropy (FA) value determined from the DTI were calculated. Results Before hyperbaric oxygen treatment, there were significant differences between control and study groups in their BOLD-fMRI activated regions and the FA values of their radiation optics (P≤0.01). After hyperbaric oxygen treatment, there were no significant differences. Conclusion Combining BOLD-fMRI with DT1 could be used to evaluate the rehabilitation effect of hy-perbaric oxygen treatment in patients with visual pathway lesions.

Objective To analyze the CT and MRI appearances and to improve the knowledge of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors(pPNETs).Methods CT or MRI were performed in 19 patients of pPNETs,which were confirmed by pathology.Results All the tumors were with unclear margin.Three cases occurred in intracalvarium,7 in the extremities,2 in the chest,4 in the abdomen,and 3 inside the spine.CT appearance of the tumors arising from soft tissue showed large,ill-defined,non-calcified mass and heterogeneous appearance with hypodense cystic areas.The tumors demonstrated heterogeneous contrast enhancement.The pPNETs arising from bone demonstrated extensive lytic lesion with large soft tissue mass,one case with newly-born bone and demonstrated heterogeneous contrast enhancement.The tumors demonstrated homogeneous intensity as muscle on SE T1WI and heterogeneous hyperintense signal on T2WI.Immunohistochemically,tumor cells showed positive for CD99,Syn,GFAP and negative for LCA.Conclusion The pPNETs show no characteristic manifestations on CT and MRI.However,CT and MRI can show the intra-tumor structures and the extent of the tumor very well,which is helpful in differentiating diagnosis,predicting resectability,detecting distant metastases and evaluating the response to treatment.

The pathological changes of the lungs after a single exposure to an atmosphere containing 100?15 ppm of hydrogen sulfide(H2S)for 3 hours were observed with optical and electron microscopy in rats.It was found that bronchial epitheliem,alveolar epithelium,pulmonary vessels and pulmonary interstitium were extensively involved.Pulmonary edema,focal pulmonary hemorrhage,exfoliation of the damaged epithelium,and infiltration of neutrophils occurred mainly in the 3rd hour to the 3rd day after H2S intoxication.Chronic inflammatory response and proliferation of fibrous tissue occurred mainly from the 7th to the 15th day after intoxication.Ultrastruc-turally,there were marked changes of alveolar epithelium,phagocytes,vascular endothelium,fi-broblasts,and inflammatory cells.Initial pulmonary edema emerged in the pulmonary interstitium and gradually affected the alveoli.Fragments of alveolar surfactant could be seen in the 3rd hour to the 3rd day after intoxication.These findings indicate that H2S inhalation exerts extensive injurious effects on the lungs in the rats.
