Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive catheterization based on computer 3D-Slicer software system in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods:Three hundred and fifty patients with HICH treated in People′s Hospital of Lanling County in Shandongfrom June 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the research object. According to the operation method, they were divided into 3D-Slicer group (175 cases) and CT group (175 cases). They were treated with 3D-Slicer software-assisted minimally invasive catheterization and minimally invasive soft-channel drainage under CT localization, respectively. The general conditions of the surgery, hematoma clearance rate and laboratory indexes, oxidative stress index and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results:The intraoperative blood loss, the hospitalizationtimein the 3D-Slicer group were lower than those in the CT group: (81.42 ± 12.33) ml vs. (101.54 ± 11.71) ml, (15.67 ± 3.71) d vs. (17.22 ± 3.52) d; the success rate of one-time successful puncture to preset position in the 3D-Slicer group was higher than that in the CT group: 100.00%(175/175) vs. 81.14%(142/175), there were statistical differences ( χ 2 = 34.26, P<0.05). The hematoma clearance rate after the surgery for 1, 3 and 7d in the 3D-Slicer group were higher than those in the CT group:(87.93 ± 8.54)% vs. (66.43 ± 7.99)%, (92.48 ± 10.31)% vs. (89.52 ± 11.74)%, (96.37 ± 10.22)% vs. (94.30 ± 9.25)%, there were statistical differences( P<0.05). After the surgery for 7 d, the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the 3D-Slicer group were higher than those in the CT group: (121.36 ± 10.59)U/L vs. (109.14 ± 9.05) U/L, (92.80 ± 8.63) μg/L vs. (81.45 ± 9.11) μg/L, (24.64 ± 5.43) U/L vs. (20.84 ± 3.47) U/L; while the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was lower than that in the CT group: (4.42 ± 0.57)μmol/L vs. (5.19 ± 0.51) μmol/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After the surgery for 3 months, the rate of favorable prognosis in the 3D-Slicer group was higher than that in the CT group 73.71%(129/175) vs. 62.29%(199/175), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 5.25, P<0.05). Conclusions:Minimally invasive catheterization based on 3D-Slicer software system in the treatment of HICH can not only improve the clinical efficacy, but also shorten the hospitalization time, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and improve the prognosis.

[miRNA-181a-5p inhibits proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cell line HOS by targeting HOXB4].

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects and mechanisms of miR-181a-5p on the proliferation, cycle and migration of HOS osteosarcoma cells. METHODS: Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-181a-5p and HOXB4 in osteoblast hFOB1.19 cell line and osteosarcoma cell lines (HOS, U2OS, MG63). miR-181a-5p mimics and miR-181a-5p inhibitors were respectively transfected into HOS cells by Lipofectamine 2000, and miR NC group was set as control group. CCK-8 method was used to detect the change in cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes in cell cycles. Wound healing experiments and Transwell migration experiments were used to detect the changes in cell migration ability. The target gene of miR-181a-5p was predicted by Targetscan website and validated by Dual-luciferase reporter gene system and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with osteoblast hFOB1.19, miR-181a-5p was low expressed in osteosarcoma cells HOS, U2OS, and MG63(P<0.05), while HOXB4 was high expressed in osteosarcoma cells HOS, U2OS, and MG63(P<0.05). Compared with the miR NC group, over expression of miR-181a-5p inhibited the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma HOS cells, and the number of cells in S phase decreased(P<0.05). However, knockdown miR-181a-5p promoted the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma HOS cells, the cells in S phase increased(P<0.05). Bioinformatics prediction and Dual-luciferase reporter gene system validate HOXB4 as a downstream target gene of miR-181a-5p(P<0.05). Western blot showed that miR-181a-5p over expression or knockdown significantly down-regulated or up-regulated HOXB4 expressions in the HOS cells respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: miR-181a-5p is down expressed in osteosarcoma cells, and over-expression miR-181a-5p inhibits the proliferation, cell cycle and migration ability of osteosarcoma cells by targeting HOXB4.

Monoenergetic Reconstructions Using Detector-based Spectral CT for Imaging of Small Lesions in the Rabbit VX2 Liver Cancer Models / 中国医学科学院学报

Objective To evaluate the value of virtual monoenergetic(monoE)using dual-layer detector spectrum CT in detecting small lesions in rabbit VX2 liver cancer models.Methods Hepatic VX2 double tumor models were established in 24 New Zealand white rabbits by CT-guided puncture. All the rabbits underwent CT scans by using dual-layer detector CT to generate conventional 120-keV polychromatic images and monoE images with energy levels ranging from 40 to 100 keV during the arterial phase. The quantity of the lesion and measurement of the lesion length as well as the objective evaluations[signal noise ratio(SNR)and contrast noise ratio(CNR)] and the subjective evaluations(overall image quality score)of the image quality were independently measured by two radiologists. The results were compared with pathological findings.Results Pathology confirmed that 30 lesions were successfully established,with an average size of(3.99±0.91)mm. Eighteen(47.40%)and 30(100%)lesions were detected by conventional images and monoE images with energy levels from 40 to 65 keV,respectively. The correlation between the length diameter of fresh pathological specimens and the measurements of lesion length diameter on 40(r=0.948,P=0.000),45(r=0.958,P=0.000),50(r=0.972,P=0.000),55(r=0.952,P=0.000),60(r=0.921,P=0.000),65 keV(r=0.917,P=0.000)monoE images was better than that on conventional images(r=0.206,P=0.270). The subjective evaluation scores of the quality of the 40,45,50,and 55 keV monoE images were 4.50(4.00,4.50)(P=0.000),5.00(5.00,5.00)(P=0.000),5.00(4.50,5.00)(P=0.000),and 4.00(4.00,4.50)(P=0.002),respectively,which were significantly higher than the conventional mixed energy images[3.00(2.50,3.00)]. The objective evaluation of image quality showed that the SNR and CNR of monoE images decreased with the increase of the energy level of the monoE image. The CNR of monoE images with 40(P=0.000),45(P=0.002),and 50 keV(P=0.011)were higher than that of the conventional image. The CNR of monoE images with 40(P=0.000),45(P=0.000),50(P=0.000),and 55 keV(P=0.002)were higher than that of the conventional images.Conclusion Dual-layer detector spectrum CT monoE image in the low-energy state of 45-50 keV can improve the detection rate of small lesions in rabbit hepatic VX2 tumor models with better noise control and provide better image quality compared with conventional polychromatic images.

Expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor after exposure to hepato-cyte growth factor in human Tenon' s capsule fibroblasts / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM:To study the dynamic alteration of low-density lipoprotein receptor ( LDLr) expression after exposure to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in human Tenon's capsule fibroblasts (HTFs).METHODS: HTFs were stimulated with HGF at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160μg/L) for 12, 24, and 48 h.The viability of HTFs was analyzed by MTT assay .The expression of LDLr at mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot .RESULTS:The expression of LDLr at mRNA and protein levels was positively correlated with the viability of HTFs.HGF promoted the viability of HTFs in a time-and concentration-dependent manner .At the same time , HGF pro-moted the expression of LDLr in the same manner .CONCLUSION:Exposure of HTFs to HGF induces LDLr expression at high level , suggesting that over-expression of LDLr on the HTFs may be a target receptor for controlled drug delivery , par-ticularly in anti-scarring therapy after glaucoma filtration surgery .
