ObjectiveTo explore the application value of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in assessing the severity of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and right heart function in rehabilitation patients. MethodsFrom January, 2013 to January, 2020, 133 inpatients (94 positive and 39 negative) who underwent CTPA examination in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were involved. Positive patients were further divided into mild, moderate and severe groups based on the pulmonary artery obstruction index (PAOI). The clinical parameters and right heart function indicators were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between PAOI, and clinical parameters and right heart function indicators, and Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the risk factors of APE. ResultsThere was significant difference in lower extremity venous thrombosis, D-dimer, oxygen partial pressure, PAOI and left process of interventricular septum among four groups (H ≥ 12.350, P < 0.01). PAOI was moderately positively correlated with D-dimer (r = 0.443, P < 0.001) and left process of interventricular septum (r = 0.520, P < 0.001), and was weakly positively correlated with lower extremity venous thrombosis (r = 0.399, P < 0.001), left pulmonary artery diameter (r = 0.213, P = 0.014) and inferior vena cava regurgitation (r = 0.229, P = 0.008). Lower extremity venous thrombosis (OR = 7.708, P < 0.001) and left process of interventricular septum (OR = 3.641, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for the onset of APE. The combination of the two indicators was effective for diagnosis of APE, and AUC was 0.795 (95% CI 0.715 to 0.874). ConclusionCTPA may be applied to evaluate the severity of APE and right heart function in rehabilitation patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of CENPF in NSCLC adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and the clinical prognosis of patients and its effect on the metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods The expression of CENPF in LUAD and its relationship with patient prognosis were analyzed by online bioinformatics. The expression of CENPF was verified by LUAD tissue microarray immunohistochemical staining. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between the expression of CENPF and the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Cox survival hazard ratio was used to analyze the factors affecting the survival of patients. Chi-square analysis was adopted to examine the relationship between CENPF expression and clinicopathological stage and grade of patients. The expression of CENPF in NCI-H2126 cells were knocked out by lentivirus, and then the proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities of the cells were detected. Changes in mRNA expression profiles after CENPF knockout were detected by RNA-seq. Bioinformatics analysis of downstream signaling pathways and the target genes of CENPF was also performed. Western blot was used to verify the target gene. Results CENPF was significantly upregulated in LUAD tumor tissue (

ObjectiveTo apply resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in acute mild traumatic brain injury. MethodsFrom May, 2019 to May, 2021, 47 cases with acute mild traumatic brain injury in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were selected as observation group, and 50 healthy people who visited for routine physical examination during the same period were as control group. They were scanned with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), and they were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT). ResultsCompared with the control group, the scores of MMSE, MoCA and RBMT decreased in the observation group (t > 18.138, P < 0.001); while ALFF decreased in the brain areas of posterior cerebellar lobe, cerebellar tonsils, lower half moon lobules, right superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right parietal lobe and right central posterior gyrus, etc; and ALFF increased in the brain areas of marginal lobe, cingulate gyrus, precuneus, left cerebellar, right superior temporal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus, etc. ConclusionThere are disorders in multiple brain areas for patients after acute mild traumatic brain injury, which may associate to the cognitive impairment.

Objective To diagnose crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) after supratentorial cerebral infarction with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging. Methods From May, 2016 to May, 2017, 120 patients with unilateral supratentorial cerebral infarction were divided as CCD positive and CCD negative, and investigated with IVIM. Results The cerebral infarction volume (CIV) was more in CCD positive patients than in CCD negative patients in acute and chronic phase (t>13.943, P<0.05). The apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) was significantly different between affected and unaffected lateral cerebellar in CCD positive patients (t=11.413, P<0.05), and it was significantly different between CCD positive and negative patients in unaffected lateral cerebellar (t=10.026, P<0.05). Conclusion CIV and ADC can be the indexes of IVIM to evaluate the cerebral perfusion in patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective Annexin A3 (ANXA3) is a member of the annexin family,As the existing studies suggest,ANXA3 is closely related to tumor genesis,development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis.ANXA3 is down-regulated in prostate and kidney cancer,but it is up-regulated in breast cancer,liver cancer and other tumors.ANXA3 is related to tumor size,staging,lymphatic metastasis and prognosis.Silencing ANXA3 expression can not only inhibit the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma cells,but also restrain the migration of breast cancer cells.ANXA3 may also be involved in the regulation and maintenance of hepatocellular stem cells through HIF1a / Notch and JNK signaling pathways.The current studies have shown that ANXA3 can serve as a potential biological marker of tumor diagnosis,prediction of chemotherapy sensitivity,and provide a new target for oncotherapy.

Objective To investigate the MRI findings of perihip heterotopic ossification (HO) in the early, mid and late stages. Meth-ods The MRI of 44 inpatients with HO from February, 2011 to September, 2013 were reviewed, in which 20 cases (28 joints) were in early stage, 18 cases (24 joints) in mid stage and 6 cases (8 joints) in late stage. For the enhanced T1WI, 9 cases (11 joints) were in early stage, 6 cases (7 joints) in mid stage, and 3 cases (4 joints) in late stage. Theχ2 trend test was used to evaluate the MRI signal change with the HO maturity. Results With the maturity of hip HO, the signal intensity of T2WI reduced (χ2=16.773, P<0.001), fat signal on T1WI increased, the enhancement reduced (χ2=16.048, P=0.007). Conclusion The MRI findings of perihip HO are characteristic in MRI in all the stages. MRI is useful for the diagnosis of perihip HO, especially for the early HO.
