Abstract
UNLABELLED This study aims to longitudinally assess the effect of oxytocin on bone and bone fat masses using micro-CT, in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and histopathological adipocyte quantification. Early in vivo oxytocin (OT) treatment to the osteoporosis (OP) rabbit model may reliably inhibit bone degeneration and reduce bone marrow fat accumulation by decreasing marrow adipocyte size and density. INTRODUCTION This study aims to longitudinally assess the effect of early OT treatment on bone and bone fat masses in a rabbit OP model by comparing the results of MRS and micro-CT with histopathological findings. METHODS Sixty 20-week-old female rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups. The control and OP groups were subjected to either sham surgery or bilateral ovariectomy (OVX). The OT group was subcutaneously injected with OT daily from the second week after OVX for 8 weeks. The left proximal femurs of the rabbits were evaluated through MRS, micro-CT, and histopathological examination at 0, 4, 8, 10, and 12 weeks after operation. Differences in fat fraction (FF) values, micro-CT parameters, and calculated pathological marrow adipocytes among three groups were analyzed. RESULTS The FF values of the OP group significantly increased (p = 0.019), but the tissue mineral density (TMD) decreased (p = 0.037) from eighth week compared with those of the control group. The FF values of the OT group significantly decreased (p = 0.044), but the TMD values increased (p = 0.042) from eighth week compared with those of the OP group. The adypocyte diameter of the OT group significantly decreased (p = 0.041) from eighth week and then adypocyte density did so too from tenth week, compared with those of the OP group at the same time point. No difference in adypocyte calculation was found between the OT and control groups until the 12th week after operation. CONCLUSION Early in vivo OT treatment slowed down bone deterioration and reduced bone marrow adiposity accumulation in a rabbit OP model, which is consistent with pathologic findings. OT treatment is a promising preventive OP therapy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Sepsis is frequently seen in severely burned patients, however it is not common in those with small-area burns. We present a case of a 22-year-old man suffering from a hot crush injury to his left hand dorsum covering 1% of his total body surface area. The patient developed severe sepsis and superficial vein thrombosis, probably due to wound infection. Culture of the wound secretion indicated Corynebacterium striatum. Following intensive topical and systemic treatment the severe sepsis was controlled. The local wound was repaired by the abdominal skin pedicle flap which had taken well by day 27 post admission. A topical superficial vein thrombosis, unintentionally found 42 days after admission, was partially excised. This case demonstrates that when treating severe sepsis in patients with small-area burns, the timely recognition and diagnosis along with active systemic support, play a vital role in successful management. DECLARATION OF INTEREST None of the authors have any financial interest to declare.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the main reasons that perimenopausal and postmenopausal women have for seeking treatment and factors influencing their symptoms in order to provide (peri-) menopausal women with better healthcare treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Interviews were conducted with 357 (peri-) menopausal women who sought outpatient treatment at The Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 1, 2010 to March 31, 2012. The survey includes general questions and an evaluation of (peri-) menopausal symptoms using the modified Kupperman index score. RESULTS The average age of the women who took part in the study was 51.47 years old (standard deviation = 5.18). Of the women, 47.6% were perimenopausal, 34.7% were early postmenopausal, and 17.7% were late postmenopausal. The age of natural menopause was between 39 and 56 years, and the average natural menopause age was 49.3 years (standard deviation = 4.0). The incidence of (peri-) menopausal symptoms was 91%. Age, education level, and chronic diseases were associated with menopausal symptoms. The main reasons for seeking treatment were hot flushes, insomnia, bone and joint pains, mood swings, and palpitations. CONCLUSIONS The main reasons for Chinese (peri-) menopausal women seeking treatment were hot flushes, insomnia, bone and joint pains, mood swings, and palpitations; age, education level, and chronic diseases are the main factors that influencing the (peri-) menopausal symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of the Eisenmenger's syndrome in pregnancy. METHODS One case of Eisenmenger's syndrome in pregnancy in our hospital was retrospectively analyzed and the literature reviewed. RESULTS This patient who received antenatal care irregularly in other hospital was diagnosed with Eisenmenger's syndrome with the symptoms of chest distress. The other hospital suggested her to terminate pregnancy, but the patient refused. She was admitted to our hospital in her late pregnancy, received the treatment of rest, oxygen, blood gas and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. Considering perioperative pulmonary hypertension crisis likely to occur, pulmonary artery catheter was placed preoperatively. In general anesthesia, the cesarean was performed. After operation, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, with the treatment of expanding blood vessels, reducing pulmonary artery pressure, administering anticoagulation and preventing infection. One week later, the patient was discharged from hospital with smooth condition. CONCLUSION Eisenmenger's syndrome in pregnancy is associated with extremely poor maternal and fetal outcome. Termination of pregnancy should be offered to such patients. When interruption of pregnancy is refused, the early hospital admission is needed. The patients should be managed in a high-risk pregnancy unit by a multidisciplinary team from obstetrics, cardiology, anesthesia and pediatrics for improving pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Based on an evaluation of vertebral fracture prevalence on lateral radiographs across all age groups in a large cohort, mild or wedge-shaped vertebral body changes identified among adults should be managed as osteoporosis or at least considered as a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture, since they are rare among young subjects. INTRODUCTION Radiographic assessment of vertebral fractures is limited by the inability to distinguish mild fractures from congenital mild wedge deformities or vertebrae of short vertebral height. We attempted to quantify the expected background prevalence of these deformities by measuring vertebral fracture prevalence across all age groups in a large hospital-based retrospective Chinese cohort. METHODS We reviewed eligible lateral chest radiographs from patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital during 2011 using the Genant semiquantitative method for vertebral fracture assessment (T4-L2). We evaluated fracture prevalence among subjects by sex, 10-year age group, and fracture severity grades subjectively. We further analyzed characteristics of subjects with mild (grade I) fractures to estimate the relative contribution of congenital mild wedge deformities. RESULTS A total of 10,720 subjects (5,396 men and 5,324 women) with lateral chest radiographs were evaluated. Subjects ranged in age from 0.5 to 97 years with a mean of 51.8 ± 17.4 years (men 52.8 ± 17.6 years; women 50.8 ± 17.2 years). When stratified by 10-year age groups, the prevalence of vertebral fractures was relatively low until about 40 years of age, after which prevalence increased for both genders. Fractures (13 fractures for 9 males and 6 fractures for 5 females) seen in subjects younger than 40 years of age were almost exclusively mild grade fractures. No fractures were identified in subjects younger than 20 years of age. CONCLUSIONS Mild or wedge-shaped vertebral body changes on lateral radiographs are rare among young subjects, indicating that when mild vertebral deformities are found among adults, they are likely to be the product of aging and not congenital variation. Clinically, therefore, mild vertebral body changes should be managed as osteoporosis or at least considered as a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture.

Abstract
Goose parvovirus (GPV) causes high mortality and morbidity in goslings and Muscovy ducklings. In this study, a GPV was isolated from a 20-day old swan in Shanghai, China. Complete genome of the swan isolate contained 5,050 nt and showed the highest homology with Taiwanese GPV isolates from 1982. In comparison with the Chinese mainland GPV isolates reported previously, the swan isolate shows two deletions, particularly at positions 67-80 and 334-347 in inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). These findings suggest that the swan could serve as a potential host for GPV and provide insights into molecular characteristics and etiology of GPV.

Abstract
Magnetic biosensors, based on nanomaterials and miniature electronics, have emerged as a powerful diagnostic platform. Benefiting from the inherently negligible magnetic background of biological objects, magnetic detection is highly selective even in complex biological media. The sensing thus requires minimal sample purification and yet achieves a high signal-to-background contrast. Moreover, magnetic sensors are also well-suited for miniaturization to match the size of biological targets, which enables sensitive detection of rare cells and small amounts of molecular markers. We herein summarize recent advances in magnetic sensing technologies, with an emphasis on clinical applications in point-of-care settings. Key components of sensors, including magnetic nanomaterials, labeling strategies and magnetometry, are reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical value of the individualization therapy for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the individual characteristics of the CSP in 61 patients admitted and treated by the People's Hospital of Yuyao City, China between March 2010 and February 2013, methotrexate (MTX) with leucovorin (CF) or uterine artery chemotherapy embolization (UACE) were used to kill the embryos, stanch, and prevent bleeding. Guided by hysteroscopy or B ultrasound, uterine curettage was carried out under the surveillance of laparoscopy if necessary. RESULTS Fifty-four cases of patients were treated by UACE. MTX with CF was used,in seven cases. Uterine curettage was performed in 44 cases under the guidance of hysteroscopy. Six cases were under the surveillance of the B ul- trasound and both hysteroscopic guidance and B ultrasound surveillance were used in seven cases. The lesions disappeared in two cases after transabdominal excision and two cases after UACE. All of the 61 patients were cured without hysterectomy. CONCLUSION Selection of individualization treatment programs according to the characteristics of the disease could improve the efficacy and prognosis of patients with CSP. The appropriate timing to perform curettage was five to seven days after embryo killing in order to reduce bleeding and shorten the course of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous study showed that peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs) are expressed in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and diazepam was found to inhibit hMCSs viability in high concentration. Midazolam, a benzodiazepine derivative, is widely used as an intravenous sedative in hospital. Peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs) affect a broad spectrum of cellular functions. We tested the cell viability and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Bone marrow was collected from 12 patients during the operation of spine internal fixation. Cultivated with basal medium, the hBMSCs were incubated with or without midazolam (0.1, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 µM, respectively). Cell viability were tested with MTS assay after 2, 4, 6 hours respectively. Cell morphology was observed and recorded at 6 hour. After cultivated with osteogentic medium, the hBMSCs were incubated with or without midazolam (5, 10, 15, 20 µM, respectively). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red S staining were measured. Cultivated with osteogentic medium with or without treatment of 15 µM midazolam, the mRNA expression of ALP, type 1 collagen (COL1), Runx2 and PPARγ was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS The treatments of midazolam inhibited cell viability to 85%-16% respectively (p < 0.05). Rounded up phenomenon with floating cells, Membrane-blebbed cells and cytoplasmic contraction were observed after 10, 15 or 20 µM midazolam treatment. The ALP activity and Calcium deposition of hBMSCs exposed to 15 and 20 µM midazolam was significantly inhibited at 7, 14 and 21 days (p < 0.05). And the mRNA expression of ALP, COL1 and PPARγ was significantly suppressed in the hBMSCs cultured with 15 µM midazolam (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Midazolam exert negative effect on cell viability and osteogenic differentiation of cultured hBMSCs. During sedation in critical care, the use of midazolam may suppress activity of hBMSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) of the cervical lymph nodes may mimic lymphoma. OBJECTIVE To evaluate multidetector-row computed tomographic (MDCT) imaging criteria for differentiating between the two diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the anatomical distribution and CT enhancement patterns of the nodes in 81 patients, 27 (33%) with untreated TB and 54 (67%) with untreated lymphomas involving cervical lymph nodes. Of the patients with lymphomas, 19 (35%) had Hodgkin's disease and 35 (65%) had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. RESULTS TB predominantly involved the upper cervical nodes. The supraclavicula fossa nodes on MDCT were involved more often in Hodgkin's disease (n = 15, 79%) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 25, 71%) than in TB (n = 3, 11%). Tuberculous lymphadenopathy commonly showed peripheral enhancement, frequently with a multilocular appearance. Peripheral enhancement was significantly more frequent in TB (n = 19, 70%) than in Hodgkin's disease (n = 1, 5%) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 1, 3%), but homogeneous enhancement was less common in the TB group. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that a specific enhancement pattern of lymphadenopathy seen on MDCT was useful in differentiating between untreated TB and lymphomas of the cervical lymph nodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop a rat model that shares the similarities of calcification in diabetes. METHODS Male Wistar rats received a high-fat diet during 8 weeks followed by a low dose of streptozotocin. Half of them were treated with vitamin D3 and nicotine (VDN) 1 week after streptozotocin injection (DM) (DM+VDN). The others were treated with vehicle (DM). Arterial calcification was facilitated by vitamin D3 and nicotine in age-matched rats (VDN). Measurements of metabolic parameters, aortic calcium content, von Kossa staining, alkaline phosphatase activity and immunohistochemistry for osteopontin were performed. The expression of genes and proteins associated with calcification were also examined. RESULTS Treatment with VDN alone resulted in a small but not significant elevation of calcium content in aorta. However, in DM+VDN, aortic calcium content increased significantly as compared to the VDN. This calcification had also dramatically increased, as shown by von Kossa staining. Mechanistic studies revealed that addition of VDN treatment in diabetic rats enhanced both activity and mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase. This treatment in diabetic- rats also enhanced the expression of core binding factor α 1 and its downstream protein osteopontin. In aorta, strong immunostaining for osteopontin was observed in DM+VDN. The result was also confirmed by Western blot analysis. CONCLUSION These results suggest that a model of accelerated arterial calcification in diabetes have been established and this model could be useful to investigate mechanisms related to vascular complication in diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To determine the specific imaging criteria on contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for differentiating between tuberculosis and lymphoma in mediastinal lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anatomical distribution and enhancement patterns of mediastinal lymph nodes on contrast-enhanced MDCT were reviewed in 37 patients with tuberculosis and 54 patients with lymphoma. Of the patients with lymphoma, 18 had Hodgkin's disease and 36 had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. RESULTS Region 10R was involved more often in tuberculosis than in Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Region 6 had a higher tendency to be affected in Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma compared with tuberculosis. Tuberculosis showed peripheral enhancement in 78% of cases, frequently with a multilocular appearance, compared to Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which showed peripheral enhancement in only 6 and 3% of cases, respectively. Homogeneous enhancement was more commonly seen in lymphoma (83% for Hodgkin's disease, and 83% for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) than in tuberculosis (8%). In the determination of tuberculosis, results showed that when a peripheral enhancement pattern was seen, sensitivity was 78%, specificity was 96%, and accuracy was 89%. In the determination of lymphoma, results showed that when a homogeneous enhancement pattern was seen, sensitivity was 83%, specificity was 92%, and accuracy was 87%. CONCLUSION The findings of the present study indicate that specific anatomical distribution and enhancement patterns of lymphadenopathy shown on contrast-enhanced MDCT can be useful in differentiating tuberculosis from lymphoma of mediastinal lymph nodes.
