ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of high-energetic virtual monoenergetic imaging(MonoE),bone metal artifact reduction(O-MAR),and their combination based on dual-layer detector spectral computed tomography(DLCT)in removing the artifacts caused by lumbar metal implants.Methods Patients who undergone lumbar implant surgery and performed lumbar examination on DLCT after surgery were prospectively selected.MonoE from 100 to 200 keV with an interval of 20 keV were reconstructed.O-MAR and O-MAR combined with MonoE(O-MAR+MonoE)images were also reconstructed.The differences of objective and subjective image quality among the images were compared.Results There were 45 patients included in the study.With the increasing of keV of MonoE,the attenuation of the tissue with low-and high-density artifact on MonoE and O-MAR+MonoE was increased and decreased,respectively.140 keV MonoE was the best sequence for the artifact reduction and the display of soft tissue.200 keV MonoE and its combination with O-MAR showed the best performance in the display of the interface of metal and bone.However,O-MAR+200 keV MonoE had the lowest noise.Conclusion Compared to O-MAR and O-MAR combined with MonoE,high-energetic MonoE shows a good value in the reduction of metal artifacts caused by the lumbar metal implants.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the protective effect of etomidate (ET) on cultured retinal ganglion cells (RGC) with mechanical injury in vitro.Methods:New Sprague-Dawley rat RGC was cultured in vitro and identified by double immunofluorescent labeling of Thy1.1 and microtubule associated protein 2. The cultured primary cells were randomly divided into control group, RGC scratch group, ET low dose group (1 μmol/L), ET medium dose group (5 μmol/L) and ET high dose group (10 μmol/L). The RGC mechanical injury model was established by using iris knife to culture cells in RGC scratch group and ET group with different concentration. Seven days after modeling, the RGC survival rate of each group was detected by cell count Kit 8 proliferation assay. The apoptosis rate of RGC was detected by Annexin Ⅴ/propyl iodide double staining. Single factor analysis of variance was used to compare the groups. The pairwise comparison between groups was tested by the least significant difference method.Results:The survival rates of RGC in RGC scratch group, ET low dose group, ET medium dose group and ET high dose group were (72.60±2.97)%, (73.73±1.14)%, (79.19±1.79)% and (83.88±0.94)%, respectively. The RGC apoptosis rates of control group, RGC scratch group, ET low dose group, ET medium dose group and ET high dose group were (5.08±0.17)%, (18.67±1.24)%, (17.96±0.74)%, (15.11±0.56)% and (11.67±1.32)%, respectively. Comparison of RGC survival rate between groups: compared with RGC scratch group, the cell survival rate of ET low-dose group, ET medium-dose group and ET high-dose group was increased, and the difference between RGC scratch group and ET low-dose group was not statistically significant ( P=0.728); the differences between RGC scratch group, ET medium dose group and ET high dose group were statistically significant ( P<0.001); the difference between ET medium dose group and ET high dose group was statistically significant ( P=0.002). Comparison of apoptosis rate of RGC among groups: the apoptosis rate of RGC scratch group was significantly higher than that of control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Compared with RGC scratch group, the apoptosis rate of ET low-dose group, ET medium-dose group and ET high-dose group was decreased, and there was no statistical significance between RGC scratch group and ET low-dose group ( P=0.869). The differences of apoptosis rate between RGC scratch group, ET medium dose group and ET high dose group were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference of apoptosis rate between ET medium dose group and ET high dose group was statistically significant ( P=0.007). Conclusion:ET has neuroprotective effect on RGC cultured in vitro with mechanical injury, and the protective effect increases with the increase of ET dose in a certain range.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the material basis of conduction along meridian.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty SD rats(30 males,30 females) were randomly assigned into a normal group,an acupuncture group,a verapamil blocking group and a 0.9%NaCl blocking group(control group),15 rats in each one. Fluo 3-AM(calcium fluorescence probe) was injected at the observation part in femoral stomach meridian of foot-(meridian part) and the approaching femoral meridian part(non-meridian part) in the normal group and the acupuncture group,and then incubation was applied. In the verapamil blocking group,verapamil was injected at local meridian part and non-meridian part,and in the control group 0.9%NaCl was injected. Then Fluo 3-AM was injected at the meridian part and non-meridian part in the two groups,and incubation was implemented. Caimaging changes in cells were recorded for more than 20 min after injection of every part in each group respectively. After the above operations in the last three groups,acupuncture was used at "Zusanli"(ST 36) immediately,with electroacupuncture for one min,then Caimaging changes in cells at the meridian and non-meridian parts were recorded for more than 20 min.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the normal group, Cafluorescence intensity at the meridian part was higher than that at the non-meridian part. In the acupuncture group,after acupuncture Cafluorescence intensity at the meridian part was obviously higher than before,but the change before and after acupuncture was not apparent at the non-meridian part. After verapamil blocking local calcium channel and acupuncture,the Cafluorescence of the meridian part did not strengthen,and the change of that before and after acupuncture at the non-meridian part was not obvious. In the control group,after injecting 0.9%NaCl at local part,Cafluorescence intensities of the meridian and non-meridian parts showed no obvious change,so was that before and after acupuncture.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The voltage-gated calcium channel at the meridian part is highly correlated with its tissue cells exciting conduction.</p>

ABSTRACT

As multi-modality treatments are now able to ensure better local control and a lower rate of extra-cranial metastasis, brain metastasis has become a major concern in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is now a standard treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), it decreases the incidence of brain metastases and increases the survival rate. Despite the relatively high incidence of brain metastases in LA-NSCLC, the role of PCI in patients treated with radical intent has not been established yet. The objective of this systematic review was to establish whether PCI prevents the development of brain metastasis and increases survival in LA-NSCLC patients, the characteristics of the benefit patients, the tolerance and toxicity, the effective dose and timing of PCI. The main concern in this review is to establish the definitive role of PCI in the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC.

ABSTRACT

The rutile structure titanium oxide (Ti-O) film was prepared on the pure titanium material TA2 (99.999%) surface by the magnetic filter high vacuum arc deposition sputtering source. The method can not only maintain the material mechanical properties, but also improve the surface properties for better biocompatibility to accommodate the physiological environment. The preparation process of the Ti-O film was as follows. Firstly, argon ions sputtered to the TA2 substrate surface to remove the excess impurities. Secondly, a metal ion source generated Ti ions and oxygen ions by the RF discharge. Meanwhile a certain negative bias was imposed on the sample. There a certain composition of Ti-O film was obtained under a certain pressure of oxygen in the vacuum chamber. Finally, X-ray diffraction was used to research the structure and composition of the film. The results showed that the Ti-O film of the rutile crystal structure was formed under the 0.18 Pa oxygen partial pressure. A Nano scratch experiment was used to test the coating adhesion property, which demonstrated that the film was stable and durable. The contact angle experiment and the platelet clotting experiment proved that the modified surface method had improved platelet adhesion performance, and, therefore, the material possessed better biocompatibility. On the whole, the evaluations proved the modified material had excellent performance.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the spatio-temporal expression of P2X3 receptor ( P2X3R) in rats with diabetic mechanical allodynia ( DMA ) .Methods DMA model in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin ( STZ) .The von Frey filaments were applied to identify the changes of the paw withdrawal threshold ( PWT) in DMA rats.Immunofluorescence was employed to detect the spatio-temporal expression of P2X3R in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH), dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and hind paw skin on different time points after intraperitoneal injection of STZ , respectively.The protein expression of P2X3R in SDH and DRG was further semi-quantitatively analyzed by Western blotting.Results Compared with control group , intraperitoneal injection STZ induced significant mechanical allodynia indicated by the reduced PWT from 7 days, and which reached the peak on 14d and maintained to 28days (P<0.05). The expression of P2X3R in DRG neurons was significantly increased on 14 days and 21 days (P<0.05), while that in SDH and skin was markedly increased on 21 days and 28 days, compared with control group (P<0.05).Conclusion With the progress of DMA, the expression of P2X3R was significantly increased in the SDH, DRG and skin, which was almost parallel with the mechanical allodynia , but the changes in SDH and skin were 1 week later than that in DRG .These results suggest that P2X3R may play a key role in the maintenance of the DMA .

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the outcomes in pregnancy between the patients with poor ovarian reservation receiving ultra-long-term down-regulation protocol and modified long-term protocol who were undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI),aiming at screening an optimal ovulation induction scheme.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 78 patients with poor ovarian reservation who underwent IVF or ICSI from October 2010 to July 2012.Forty-three patients received modified long-term protocol treatment (group A),with 0.375 mg long-acting triptorelin during the midluteal phase as well as superovulation start date plus alarelin (0.15 mg/d) to intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) day.Thirty-five patients received ultra-long-term down-regulation protocol (group B).Triptorelin was injected intramuscularly in mid-luteal phase twice followed by triptorelin at a dose of 1.2-1.3 mg after 28 days of long-acting triptorehn treatment (1.5 mg).Gonadotropin was started 16 days after the second GnRHa injection.The dose of Gn,number of oocytes retrieved,number of embryos available,implantation rate,pregnancy rate,and miscarriage rate were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean age of participants,basal follicular number,FSH,the dose of Gn used,number of oocytes retrieved,number of embryos available,number of implanted embryos,Pregnancy rate(32.56% vs.34.29%),implantation rate(18.75% vs.20.97%) and miscarriage rate (0 vs.8.33%)(P > 0.05).Conclusion No significant difference was found between the two groups in clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rate.But modified long-term protocol needs a shorter treatment period than the ultra-long-term protocol.Moreover,it reduces the risk of excessive suppression of pituitary function.Therefore,it takes advantages over the other in the clinical application.
