The main venous plexus of internal jugular vein was divided into anterior drainage mode (pterygoid plexus) and posterior drainage mode, and the posterior drainage mode was divided into plexus drainage mode (paravertebral venous plexus) and isolated venous drainage mode (dominated by deep jugular vein). The posterior plexus drainage mode could be subdivided into two groups: paravertebral venous plexus with obvious deep jugular venous drainage and paravertebral venous plexus without obvious deep jugular venous drainage. Based on the clinical data of the patients and related risk diseases, the factors affecting the drainage pattern of main venous plexus of internal jugular vein were analyzed by chi-square test.　Results　Bilateral internal carotid artery angiography showed a total of 320 internal jugular veins in 160 patients, of which 63 sides (accounting for 19.7%) as the wing plexus drainage, 54 sides (accounting for 16.9%) as the vertebral venous plexus near accompanied by obvious neck deep venous drainage, 50 sides (accounting for 15.6%) as the vertebral venous plexus with no apparent near the neck deep venous drainage, 10 sides (accounting for 3.1%) as the neck deep venous drainage, 13 sides (accounting for 5.7%) before and after the plexus drainage. The analysis of χ2 test  showed that age, abnormal internal jugular vein (hypoplasia, stenosis, occlusion), pressure trace of internal jugular vein and hypertension were independent risk factors for the pattern of internal jugular venous plexus drainage.　Conclusions　The drainage pattern of bilateral internal jugular vein plexus is mainly followed by posterior paravertebral venous plexus drainage, which can change the drainage pattern with relevant clinical influencing factors. This is of great value for the evaluation of skull base, neck surgery and nerve interventional therapy.

Thirty surviving MI rats were randomly divided into a model group and a Levo group (15 rats in each group). Rats in the sham group (n=10) underwent the same surgical procedure, except for no arterial ligation. Levosimendan (4.67 μg·kg-1·d-1) was infused into stomach for 28 days in Levo group. At the same time, rats in sham group and model group were given equal amount of distilled water. 2D echocardiography was adopted to evaluate the cardiac function. Masson-trichrome were used to evaluate the degree of myocardial fibrosis. The expression of COL1A1, COL3A1 mRNA and SIRT1/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway proteins were detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot, respectively.    Results   Compared with the model group, 2D echocardiography result showed that the LVED of Levo group decreased significantly (P<0.05), while the EF and FS increased significantly (P<0.01). Masson-trichrome result showed that levosimendan treatment significantly reduced necrosis and the content of collagen deposition and inhibited infiltration of inflammatory cells. RT-qPCR analysis result showed that levosimendan treatment significantly reduced the content of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in the heart tissue of MI rats (P<0.01). Western blot showed that  levosimendan treatment could significantly up-regulate SIRT1 protein expression  and down-regulate TGF-β1(60%) and p-Smad3 (47%) protein expression (P<0.01).  Conclusions   Levosimendan has anti-fibrotic and cardio-protective effects. These effects are potentially mediated by SIRT1/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.

Biomechanical studies of samples were performed under intact, injury and various fixation statements using a spinal testing machine, while applying a constant moment of 1.5 Nm in flexion-extension, left-right lateral bending, and left-right axial rotation directions. A repeated measurement design was employed in all tests. Movement were measured consecutively by an Optotrak Certus 3D measurement system in order to analyze the range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ) of atlantoaxial joint.    Results    In the atlantoaxial joint, ROM of fixation segments were significantly reduced in all directions when a 3.5 mm diameter titanium rod, a 2.0 mm diameter titanium rod, and a 3.5 mm diameter PEEK rod was used (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in ROM of fixation segments for rigid fixation and 2.0 mm diameter titanium rod in all directions (P>0.05). In lateral bending, ROM of the PEEK rod was significantly larger compared with rigid fixation (P=0.005).

The 64 cases were divided into the following two groups according to the method of TCRA postoperative readhesion prevention:  an experimental group (biological amniotic products were placed after TCRA with chitosan), and a control group (chitosan was placed after TCRA). Each group was 32 cases. The Chinese Intrauterine Adhesion Grating and Scoring Standard proposed by Chinese Clinical Diagnostics Experts of Intrauterine Adhesion in 2015 was used to diagnose the degree of intrauterine adhesions. All patients received artificial cycle treatment of estrogen progesterone for 2 months. The endometrial thickness, uterine artery resistance parameters and pregnancy rate were compared between the two groups.   Results   One month after operation, the endometrial thickness of the experimental group and the control group were (5.89±0.84) mm and (4.37± 0.52) mm, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (T=8.689,P<0.01). Two months after operation, the endometrial thickness of the experimental group and the control group were (8.38±0.84) mm, (7.17±1.00) mm, the differences were statistically significant (t＝5.215, P<0.01). At the second hysteroscopy, the readhesion rate of the experimental group was 6.25%, and that of the control group was 18.75%, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were statistical differences in the arterial blood flow parameters and pregnancy rate between the two groups.   Conclusions    The implantation of biological amniotic membrane products after the separation of moderate or severe intrauterine adhesions can increase the thickness of the endometrium and improve the blood circulation of the uterus and the receptivity of the endometrium, ultimately increase the pregnancy rate. Therefore, the implantation of biological amniotic membrane products can be an effective and feasible neoadjuvant treatment for clinical treatment of intrauterine adhesions.

Three kinds of post-processing reconstruction methods including MPR, MIP and VR were used for analysis IVC variation . Their clinical and radiological data were analyzed retrospectively and the double IVC’ imaging features, embryological mechanisms and clinical significance were discussed in combination with literature.　Results　There were 3 types of MSCT manifestation in the 18 patients with the double IVC. 15 patients (accounting for 83.33%) of type I showed as that the left-sided IVC ascended vertically to the position where the left renal vein merged into, then travelled to the right in front of the aorta in a normal way of the left renal vein and merged into the normal right-sided IVC. Two patients (accounting for 11.11%) of type II showed as that the right-sided IVC ascended to the second lumbar level, then crossed the aorta posteriorly to drain into left-sided IVC, and next connected with the hemizygous vein and eventually drained into the right atrium via the azygos vein and superior vena cava. Right renal vein mainly drained into the right suprarenal IVC, but there were collateral branches connecting to the right infrarenal IVC. One patient (accounting for 5.56%) of type III showed as that the right-sided IVC travelled normally all the way, after the left IVC ascended vertically to the position where the left renal vein merged into, then it travelled right and upward behind the aorta and connected to the azygos vein.　Conclusions　Double IVC has many complex variant types, which has important clinical significance for retroperitoneal surgery and treatment of venous thrombosis of the lower body.

Combined with the reconstruction of 5 mm axial MIP map, the corresponding types were identified.   Results   The left superior pulmonary vein can be divided into:(1) V1 + 2 type, (2) V2 + 3 type, (3) V1+2a V2 +3bc  according to the condition of common trunk, and the occurrence rates were 69% (138 /200), 17.5% (35/200) and 13.5% (27/200) respectively. Its characteristics were as follows: when V1 + 2 dries together, the branches then sent out were not related to each other; in V2+3 type, V2 and V3 dries together, and V1 and V2+3 respectively flowed into the left superior pulmonary vein stem; in V1 + 2a V2 + 3bc type, V2 mainly had a large variation; when V4 and V5 of the left upper lobe lingual segment vein dries together, their branches were not related to each other, and V4 had the same situation with V3b, and each had their different drainage characteristics.   Conclusions    The vein classification of the superior lobe of left lung is more complicated due to the presence of lingual segment. Venous anatomy and drainage pattern obtained by MSCT combined with 5 mm axial MIP can clearly show the pulmonary vein anatomical classification, which can be used as a routine method for its anatomical identification.

The Mimics21.0 was used to construct the radial three-dimensional (3D) model based on the original CT image information. Then the inertia principal axis of radial was calculated and generated, and the reference coordinate frame of inertia principal axis was established. The rotation angles of the posterior ridge marks on the radial tuberosity on the horizontal plane relative to the major axis in each specimen were calculated and recorded.　Results　The posterior ridge of radial tuberosity was ubiquitous. The relative position between inertia principal axis and radius was stable. The rotation angle of the posterior ridge of the radial tuberosity relative to the major axis of the radius in the horizontal coordinate frame was (82.93±5.55)°.　Conclusions　The anatomical reference coordinate frame based on the principal axis of inertia is stable and can be used to precisely locate the radial tuberosity.
