Objective To investigate the effect of acute irradiation by high power millimeter wave on the pathological changes of mouse lung tissue. Methods The BALB/c mice were vertically placed under the high power millimeter wave equipment with working frequency of 34. 1 GHz, and the mean output power were 5,10 and 12 W while the distance between the animal and the bottom of the irradiation horn were 10 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The mice were tied on the platform and continuously received irradiation until death. After immediate dissection, the mouse lung was quickly rinsed with 0.9% NaCl solution, fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution and mounted for paraffin section. After HE staining and image taken with a CCD camera, the Image Pro Plus software and quantitative image analysis by combining the mean optical density and area was used to determine the pathological injuries of the lung. Result Using the HA23. 16 and HA9. 92 pyramid horns with different physical parameter, the mice exposed to irradiation with high mean power of 12 W were dead most quickly, the death time was only about 110 s. Meanwhile, the death time was about 30 min after irradiation with the mean power of 5 W. There was significant hemorrhage in the mouse lung with high power millimeter irradiation, although the hemorrhage degree was different under different irradiation parameters. When the mean power were 10 and 12 W.the hemorrhage degree of lung was extremely high, where the bronchia and blood vessel of lung was markedly broken. A lot of cells of bronchia had been released. However, when the mean power was 5 W, the hemorrhage degree of lung was less observed, while the bronchia and blood vessels had not severe fracture. Conclusions High power millimeter wave wave irradiation has remarkable effect on mice lung. The damage degree of lung tissue is highly correlated with the mean power of millimeter wave irradiation. As the high power millimeter used in this study could result in significant thermal effect, the acute heat-induced response might lead to animal death by causing serious lung injury.

Purpose To compare the image quality of contrast-enhanced hepatic CT using iterative reconstruction technique (IMR) at different radiation doses, and to explore the value of IMR in contrast-enhanced hepatic CT under different radiation doses. Materials and Methods Fifty-four cases undergoing contrast-enhanced hepatic CT were divided into two groups using different portal-venous phase protocols:29 cases in group A (120 kV, 250 mAs), 25 cases in group B (80 kV, 500 mAs). Portal venous phase CT images were reconstructed using IMR and filtered back projection to obtain 4 data sets:group A1 (120 kV, FBP), group A2 (120 kV, IMR), group B1 (80 kV, FBP) and group B2 (80 kV, IMR). Images were evaluated for noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) as well as low contrast detectability (LCD), image distortion (ID) and diagnostic confidence (DC). Effective radiation dose was recorded. Results The effective radiation dose in group B was 42.7%, lower than that in group A (t=15.27, P<0.001). Image noise in group A2 and B2 was significantly lower than that in group A1 and B1, with higher SNR and CNR (Fnoise=81.98, FSNR=65.19, FCNR=37.42, P<0.001). There was significant statistical difference in LCD among four groups, A2>B2>A1>B1 (χ2=58.21, P<0.001), and in image distortion, A1>B1>A2>B2 (χ2=12.94, P<0.001). There was significant difference between B2 and A1, and between B2 and B1 (P<0.05). For diagnostic confidence, the score was A2>A1>B2>B1 (χ2=34.06, P<0.001). There was no statistical significance between group A1 and group B2 (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with FBP, IMR technique can reduce image noise and improve image quality at low and high radiation doses, with better effect on low dose (80 kV, 500 mAs) hepatic CT.

Objective To construct a recombinant bacillus Calmette-Guérin(BCG) vaccines based on different tandem repeats of MUC1 and GM-CSF, rBCG-MVNTR1/4/8-CSF, and to observe the ability of three recombinant BCG vaccines in the inhibition of breast cancer. Methods After MUC1 variable-number tandem repeats (MVNTR1/4/8) were cloned in a stepwise manner, the E. coli-Mycobacteria shuttle expression vector pDE22-MVNTR1/4/8-CSF were constructed by fusing MVNTR1/4/8 and GM-CSF, and then used to transform competent BCG by electroporation after identification by restriction endonuclease digestion analysis and DNA sequencing. A novel breast cancer vaccines, rBCG-MVNTR1/4/8-CSF was constructed. The expression of fused MVNTR1/4/8-CSF protiens was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The ability of rBCG vaccines inhibiting the growth of breast cancer was observed in hu-PBL-SCID mice. The specific T cell responses in mice were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of recombinant MVNTR1/4/8-CSF fusion proteins were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot in rBCG-MVNTR1/4/8-CSF vaccines, respectively. Tumor incidence in mice prophylactic immunized with rBCG-MVNTR4-CSF (37.5%) or rBCG-MVNTR8-CSF (25%) significantly decreased compared with PBS and BCG-pDE22 control ( 100% ) at 42 days after tumor implantation ( P < 0. 05 ). MCF-7 tumor growth inhibition in rBCG- MVNTR4/8-CSF-immunized mice was more significant than that in controls ( P <0. 01 ).The inhibition effect of three rBCG vaccines on breast rumor growth appeared to rise with increase of numbers of the tandem repeats of MUC1. Survival rate was 75% of mice in the rBCG-MVNTR4-CSF-treated group and 87. 5% of mice in the rBCG-MVNTR8-CSF-treated groups at 70 days after tumor implantation; however,survival rate was only 12. 5% in control group( P <0. 05). The CD4-positive and CD8-positive lymphocytes were detected only in rBCG-MVNTR4/8-CSF-immunized mice. Conclusions rBCG-MVNTR4/8-CSF immunization inhibits breast cancer growth in mice.
