Objective To explore the image quality and radiation dose for coronary angiography using DSCT (dual-source computed tomography) under lower tube voltage and lower contrast agent concentration ('double low').Methods A total of 160 patients with suspected coronary artery disease underwent dual-source CCTA.80 patients (BMI ＜ 25 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to group A (270 mg I/ml-80 kV) and B (350 mg I/ml-120 kV).The other 80 patients (25 ≤ BMI ＜30 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to group C (270 mg I/ml-100 kV) and D (350 mg I/ml-120 kV),sonogram affirmed iterative reconstruction technology and 270 mg I/ml contrast agent were applied to group A and C ; FBP technology and 350 mg I/ml contrast agent were applied to group B and D.Adaptive cardio-sequence prospective ECG-gated technology was applied in all patients,while the acquisition phase was 65％-75％ RR interval (when heart rate ＜ 75 beats / min) or 40％-50％ RR interval at when heart rate ≥ 75 beats/min.Volume CT dose index (CTDIvol),dose length product (DLP),effective dose (E),size specific dose estimates (SSDE),image noise,CT value,signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR) were all evaluated for each patient.Results There was not statistical difference in scan length among groups A and B,C and D.There was statistical difference in tube current between group A and B (t =8.932,P ＜0.05).There was not statistical difference in tube current between group C and D (tCD =-1.212,P ＞ 0.05).There was statistical difference in CTDIvol,DLP,E and SSDE between group A and B,C and D (tCTDIvol =-16.141,-11.440 ; tDLP =-17.454,-10.521 ; t =-17.444,-10.523 ;tSSDE =-13.032,-9.119,P ＜0.05).Compared to group B,the SSDE in group A decreased by 64.4％.Compared to group D,the SSDE in group C decreased by 39.3％.There was no statistical difference in image noise between group A and B,C and D (P ＞ 0.05).There was statistical difference in CT value,SNR and CNR between group A and B (t =0.436,4.623,3.272,P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference in CT value and CNR between group C and D,while there was statistical difference in SNR between group C and D (t =2.981,P ＜0.05).There was no statistical difference in image quality scores between group A and B,C and D (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with conventional DSCT coronary angiography,'double low' DSCT coronary scanning solution can significantly reduce the radiation dose and contrast agent,and could provide the effective coronary images which meet the clinical diagnostic needs.

Objective:To explore the effect of self-made protective clothing in tracheal intubation for the patients with respiratory infectious diseases.Methods:Self-made protective clothing were made by adult model plastic raincoat with sleeve lets and goggles. A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. Patients with severe respiratory infectious diseases who needed tracheal intubation admitted to the department of intensive medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Chinese Medicine from January 1st 2018 to March 31st 2020 were enrolled. According to the random number table method, they were divided into two groups. The control group was wearing standard protective clothing, while the test group was wearing self-made protective clothing for endotracheal intubation. The wearing time, infection rate of operators and costs of protective clothing were compared between the two groups. The patients were sprayed with trypanosome blue diluent before tracheal intubation, and the whole body of the operator was photographed with fluorescence before wearing self-made protective clothing and after doing tracheal intubation to take off the self-made protective clothing, in order to evaluate the permeability resistance of self-made protective clothing.Results:A total of 86 patients were enrolled. There were 46 cases in the test group, included 28 cases of influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, 11 cases of influenza B virus infection and 7 cases of adenovirus infection. There were 40 cases in the control group, included 15 cases of H1N1 virus infection, 10 cases of influenza B virus infection, 10 cases of adenovirus infection and 5 cases of unknown pathogen. There was no significant difference in respiratory etiology between the two groups ( χ2 = 3.789, P = 0.435). The wearing protective clothing time of the control group was 11.6 times than that of the test group (minutes: 22.23±1.45 vs. 1.86±0.24, χ2 = 19.023, P < 0.001). The cost of standard protective clothing was 12.5 times than that of self-made protective clothing (Yuan/set: 500 vs. 40). Fluorescent photography showed that the whole body of the operator was not stained after tracheal intubation, indicating that the protective clothing had good anti permeability and achieved the protective effect. There was no operator infection in the test group and the control group. Conclusion:Self-made protective clothing has short wearing time, low cost and equivalent isolation effect compared with standard protective clothing, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

[Objective] To explore how to deal with the paternity test of complex adoption cases. [Method] Samples from 13 families, in which adoptive parents were suspected related to biological parents, were genotyped using "Identifder + Sinofder + Powerplex 16" combined system (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSFIPO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, D6S1043, D12S391, PentaD, PentaE) followed by further statistical analysis. [Result] Among all 13 cases, 2 were completely accordance with the Mendel law, PI > 10 000. There found more than 3 inconsistent loci in 8 cases. And found 1～2 inconsistent loci in 3 cases, needed to test more STR loci until PI≥10 000. The half sibling index (HSI) was also calculated with ITO method. The adoptive parents of 2 cases were not excluded from a full sibling with biological parents. In addition, Y-STR loci were tested for 4 cases (father/son). Two adoptive fathers of them were not excluded from the paternal relationship with biological fathers. [Conclusion] The most (76.9%) of all (13) complex adoptive cases of paternity test could be drawn a definite conclusion with combined system of "Identifder + Sinefiler + Powerplexl6". Minority (23.1%) of them was not definite yet and needed testing more STIR loci. Meanwhile, we suggested adding Y-STR tests and providing HSI for reference.

Objective To assess the clinical effect of tumor-type prosthesis replacement for treatment of giant cell tumors of bone near the joints. Methods Thirty-seven patients with giant cell tumors of bone near the joints from January 1998 to January 2008 were reviewed. 18 were males and 19 were females. The ages ranged from 19 to 64 and the median age was 32 years old. The anatomic site of the lesions spreaded at distal femur(23 cases) , proximal tibia(10 cases),proximal humerus(3 cases) and proximal femur(1 case). According to Companacci's staging system: 9 patients were classified as grade II and 28 as grade Ⅲ. All patients had been treated with block excision and reconstruction with prosthesis. The functional outcomes were evaluated by MSTS 93 score. Results According to the follow-up for 2 -9 years,1 patient (4. 3% ) had local recurrence and underwent amputation of the diseased limb. As for the complications, periprosthesis infection occurred in 1 patient, prosthesis loosening in 2 patients. The average MSTS 93 score was 22. 49 ±5. 16 in 3 years after surgery. The evaluated functional result revealed excellent or good performance in 89. 2% of the patients. Conclusions Tumor-type prosthesis replacement is an effective procedure to reduce the local recurrence,and to restore joint function.

Neoplasms of perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComas) are characterized by epithelioid to spindle cells with eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm, an intimate relationship with blood vessels, and coexpression of myoid and melanocytic immunohistochemical markers. While most reported hepatic PEComas, such as angiomyolipoma (AML), behave in a benign fashion, emerging PEComas cases without typical characteristics require further clarification. We report a case of primary hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumors-not otherwise specified (HPEComas-NOS) with untypical pathological and immunohistochemical features compared to those of the benign hepatic AML cases. HPEComas-NOS may represent a special type of PEComas classified as having "malignant potential" or at "high risk of aggressive behavior", suggesting the need for further clarification of hepatic PEComas and long-term follow-up of patients with HPEComas-NOS.

Conclusions:CEA>5.0 mg/L, CA19-9>39.0 U/mL, single polyp in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp diameter of 11 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyps of broad base in preoperative ultrasonography examination are independent risk factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis. Cholecystectomy should be performed in time for patients with single and broad based gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm.

Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)are commonly heterogeneous and require extensive assessment of exposure-efficacy and exposure-safety relationships in preclinical and clinical studies.In this study,we report the generation of a monoclonal antibody against monomethyl auristatin E(MMAE)and the development,validation,and application of sensitive and high-throughput enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assays(ELISA)to measure the concentrations of MMAE-conjugated ADCs and total antibodies(tAb,antibodies in ADC plus unconjugated antibodies)in cynomolgus monkey sera.These assays were suc-cessfully applied to in vitro plasma stability and pharmacokinetic(PK)studies of SMADC001,an MMAE-conjugated ADC against trophoblast cell surface antigen 2(TROP-2).The plasma stability of SMADC001 was better than that of similar ADCs coupled with PEG4-Val-Cit,Lys(m-dPEG24)-Cit,and Val-Cit linkers.The developed ELISA methods for the calibration standards of ADC and tAb revealed a correlation be-tween serum concentrations and the OD450 values,with R2 at 1.000,and the dynamic range was 0.3-35.0 ng/mL and 0.2-22.0 ng/mL,respectively;the intra-and inter-assay accuracy bias％ranged from-12.2％to-5.2％,precision ranged from-12.4％to-1.4％,and the relative standard deviation(RSD)was less than 6.6％and 8.7％,respectively.The total error was less than 20.4％.The development and validation steps of these two assays met the acceptance criteria for all addressed validation parameters,which suggested that these can be applied to quantify MMAE-conjugated ADCs,as well as in PK studies.Furthermore,these assays can be easily adopted for development of other similar immunoassays.

OBJECTIVE：To reference for the rational use of sodium va lproate in clinic. METHODS ：By retrospective analysis，blood concentration monitoring results of sodium valproate and medical record data in 856 patients were collected from the Affiliated Tianyou Hospital of Wuhan University of Science and Technology during Jan. 2016-Dec. 2018. The dosage form of sodium valproate ，monitoring times of therapeutic drugs ，monitoring results of steady-state blood concentration of sodium valproate up to the standard ，dosage adjustment and the combination with carbamazepin ，fluconazol and carbapenem drugs were analyzed. Fisher exact test was used to analyze the factors influencing the steady-state blood concentration of sodium valproate up to the standard. RESULTS ：A total of 1 270 cases of sodium valproate were monitored in 856 patients，involving 407 males and 449 females，with age of （38.2±13.8）years and body mass of （52.3±10.0）kg. Among 1 270 cases of monitoring ，steady-state blood concentration of sodium valproate in 554 cases were in the range of 50-100 µg/mL，and 43.6％ of which reached the standard. The rate of reaching the standard in patients with multiple monitoring was higher than patients with single monitoring ；the dosage of patients with last monitoring reaching the standard was higher than that of patients with the first monitoring reaching the standard. The rate of reaching the standard in Sodium valproate sustained-release tablet group was higher than general Sodium valproate tablet group；the carbamazepin/fluconazol free group was higher than the carbamazepin combination group and fluconazol combination group；the carbapenem free group was higher than the carbapenem combination group （all P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Clinical pharmacists should pay attention to the monitoring of sodium valproate treatment drugs ， strengthen the publicity and 3551851542@qq.com education of patients and their families ，and try to use Sodium valproate sustained-release tablets. When patients additionally receive carbapenem drugs like carbamazepin or fluconazol ， the standard level of sodium valproate will be reduced ，then the dosage of sodium valproate should be adjusted.
