Objective To investigate the application value of low dose high pitch dual source CT angiography technique in diagno-sis of acute aortic dissection.Methods 21 cases of critically ill patients with suspected aortic dissection underwent total aortic angiog-raphy without using ECG by adopting the second generation dual source CT Flash Technology (pitch 3 .2 ,1 0 0 kV and 1 0 0 mAs), using a lower contrast dose (60 mL).Results All subjects accepted as low as possible radiation doses and iodine intake;at the same time,accurate information including aortic intimal tear position,intimal flap,true and false lumen,and lesions involving the range vessel signs and anatomic relationship were received,2 cases of Stanford type A,type B 1 9 cases (2 cases of aortic rupture).Average scan time 2.6 s,average effective radiation dose cm 270 mGy·cm.Conclusion High quality images by using high pitch dual source CT low dose angiography with lower contrast dose provide safe,reliable,real-time screening method for critically ill patients with aor-tic dissection caused by systemic severe compound injury.

Objective To evaluate the possibility of AG490 as a potential immunosuppressor and to explore its basic mechanism. Methods Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (both T and B) isolated from healthy donors were cultured with PHA or IL 2 separately for MLC to induce the proliferation of human lymphocytes. The inhibitory rate of human lymphocyte proliferation, the release of cytokines (IL 2, IL 6 and IFN ?) and the changes in differentiation of lymphocyte subsets were observed under different immunosuppressors of AG490, CsA and FK506. Results In vitro experiment, AG490 could suppress the proliferation of lymphocytes induced by various mechanisms (especially the CD3 + and CD4 + cells), obviously inhibit the IL 2 and IFN ? production, but could not inhibit the IL 6 production. Conclusion AG490 is a potential immunosuppressor.

Objective To detect ret mutations in two Chinese families with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A(MEN2A).Methods In our study,9 members from these two families including 3 patients were recruited.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and direct gene sequencing of PCR products by an automated DNA sequencer were applied to scan the entire 21 exons of ret proto-oncogene in the leukocyte DNA of the subjects.Results Two missense mutations were detected in exon11 of the ret proto-oncogene.One was C634R in the 2 patients from a family and the other was C634Y in 2 subjects from another family(one was the patient).Two heterozygous variants(A45A and L769L)in these 4 subjects were revealed.Conclusion Two mutations(C634R and C634Y)are detected in two families with MEN2A.Direct DNA sequencing analysis can diagnose MEN2A at gene level,which is helpful in making clinical management of the disease and in diagnosing earlier in their offspring.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Jingganquzhi decoction(JQ,净肝祛脂汤) in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver.Methods Eighty patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver were randomly divided into treatment group to receive JQ and control group to receive Dongbaogantai(DG,东宝肝泰) orally for 3 months.The changes of liver function,blood lipids,B ultrasonic examination were observed.Results After the treatment,the liver function criteria: alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),?-glutamyltransferase(?-GGT) and blood lipids of triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC) were lower than those before the treatment,while the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was higher than that before the treatment in both groups(all P

Objective:To compare the antihypertensive effects of tuina at Taichong (LR 3),Neiguan (PC 6) and Qiaogong (Extra) to screen the best tuina protocol for primary hypertension due to liver-fire flaming-up.Methods:A total of 102 patients with primary hypertension due to liver-fire flaming-up were randomly divided into a Taichong (LR 3) group,a Neiguan (PC 6) group and a Qiaogong (Extra) group according to the random number table,with 34 cases in each group.Patients in the three groups received 4-week tuina treatment with the corresponding acupoint respectively.The blood pressure was recorded by benchtop mercury sphygmomanometer before tuina,immediately after tuina treatment,30 min and 60 min after tuina treatment with the patient in a supine position in a quiet treatment room.The total effective rate was observed.Results:The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the three groups all decreased after treatment (all P＜0.05).The decrease of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at different time points after treatment in the Qiaogong (Extra) group and the Taichong (LR 3) group were better than those in the Neiguan (PC 6) group (all P＜0.05).Qiaogong (Extra) group had the highest total effective rate though there was no statistical difference in the total effective rate among the three groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Treating primary hypertension due to liver-fire flaming-up with tuina at Taichong (LR 3),Neiguan (PC 6) and Qiaogong (Extra) can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively,among which Qiaogong (Extra) has the highest total effective rate.

Objective To obtain the prevalence data on human T Lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection in 2 339 blood donors of an endemic coastal region of Fujian, China. Methods Serum antibodies to HTLV in the donors were detected by a home made double antigen sandwitch ELISA kit. All the ELISA positive samples were further confirmed by Western blot (WB) and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with sequencing. Results Nine samples were confirmed as HTLV 1 infection among the 2 339 donors. A man whose wife is one of the nine was also detected to infect by WB and PCR. Conclusion The prevalence of HTLV infection was 0.38% in the endemic coastal region of Fujian, China.

Objective To analyze locations of acantholysis in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF),so as to explain why acantholysis in pemphigus occurs in different locations of the epidermis.Methods Clinical data,histopathological and immunopathological findings,and pemphigus antibody level values were collected from 43 patients with PV and 28 with PF,and retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 43 patients with PV,35 showed acantholysis in the upper basal layer,8 in the middle-to-upper epidermis.Of the 28 patients with PF,25 showed acantholysis in the granular layer and the upper prickle cell layer,3 in the middle-to-lower epidermis.Patients with PF showed significantly higher levels of anti-Desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) antibody compared with patients with PV (P =0.047).However,there were no significant differences in the levels of anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 antibodies between PV patients who had acantholysis in the middle-to-upper epidermis and those in the upper basal layer.Conclusion Histopathological examinations of PV and PF lesions show that acantholysis can occur in the middle-to-upper epidermis,as well as in the middle-to-lower epidermis,and locations of acantholysis may be associated with levels of anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 antibodies.

Objective To investigate the protevtive effect and mechanism of early using selective digestive decontamination (SDD) on severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) in rats.Methods Sixty rats were randomly assigned into SAP group and SAP+SDD group after SAP model was set up.Rats in the SAP+SDD group underwent SDD immediately after the model was established and last for 3 days. The peripheral and portal vein serum endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor -a (TNF-a) and interleukin -1 (IL-1) at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours and the mortality, average living time and the degree of pancreatic necrosis were observed and compared in the 2 groups. Results The levels of peripheral and portal vein serum endotoxin, TNF-? , IL-1,and the mortalities in SAP+SDD group were significantly lower than those in SAP group(all P

Objective To investigate the possibility of auricle reconstruction assisted by an expander using porous silicon auricle frame.Methods An adult male with average sized,normal ears was selected.The spiral CT scan was used to acquire primitive data of his external ear.Mimics 8.1 and Geomagic studio 12 were used for 3D reconstruction and image processing.Three-dimensional model of auricle 1.4 mm in thickness was created according to the anterior auricular surface data.Finally,a metal model was made according to the 3D model of auricle.By the extrusion method,silicon auricle frame was formed from the metal model.Multiple perforations,1 mm in diameter and 1 mm internal from each other,were then made by a puncher.50 ml kidney tissue expanders were implanted between the panniculus carnosus and the fascia through an incision on the backs of 10 New Zealand white rabbits.The expander was inflated with 20 ml saline weekly,to a total of 160 ml.Maintenance of expansion lasted for a month.The expander was then removed through an incision along the expander near the back.Silicon auricle frame was inserted into the pocket.The reconstructed ears were observed for 6 months postoperation.Whether there were deformations,contractures and extrusions were observed.Results The reconstructed ears were elastic and compressible.No deformation,contracture or extrusion were observed 6 months postoperation.Scaphoid fossa,triangular fossa,helix,antihelix were legible.Conclusions The silicon frame,1.4 mm in thickness manufacted by computer aided design,could stand up to contraction of the overlying expanded flap,and it thus is possible to be used for auricle reconstruction assisted by the expander.
