Objective To compare bolus infusion and replenishment using real low mechanical index contrast enhanced ultrasound in assessing the change of renal cortical perfusion.Methods Using dopamine (i.v.) at the dose of 0.5,2.0,5.0μg · kg- 1 · min- 1 to change renal blood perfusion of 20 rabbits,then during bolus or contant injection of SonoVue,at coded pulse inversion mode,real-time contrast ultrasound was performed,the latter method needed destroying microbubble at a high MI when amplitude reach a steady state,then recording the replenishment,peak intensity(A) and time to peak (PPT) were obtained through raw time-intensity curve,and slope rate of TIC(k) was acquired by curve fitting,standard effective renal plasma flow(ERPF) was measured through 4-aminohippuric acid clearancerate method,meanwhile correlations between ERPF and parameters were analyzed,as well as the paired samples t test for each parameter before and after dopamine administration.Results The ascending branchs of raw TIC of bolus infusion increased sharply and were approximately straight,then descended gradually,while that of replenishment looked like two straightlines with different slopes,then stayed horizontal Both the value of A of two methods were positively correlated with ERPF ( r b =0.85,r re =0.66),and were different at the same ERPF,meanwhile the value of TTP were negatively correlated with ERPF( r b =-0.92,r re =- 0.76),and there were no statistically difference between the two methods.k from Gamma fitting was far from correct,while k from exponential fitting was apparently correlated with ERPF ( r re =0.77 ).Conclusions Both bolus injection and constant injection-replenishment method can assess renal cortical blood perfusion,TIC parameters A and TTP represent regional blood volume fraction and microbubble velocity respectively.Bolus-infusion with real low mechanical index is more precise and available.Comparing with k,TTP is more appropriate to reflect perfusion velocity.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of transfecting gene into HepG2 by therapeutic ultrasound combined with microbubble,and to explore the optimal ultrasonic parameters for high transfection efficiency.Methods HepG2 cells were cross-interval planted in 24-well plates.EGFP plasmid DNA and microbubbles were added to the cultured HepG2 and three parameters of the therapeutic ultrasound were optimized.Firstly,set ultrasonic intensity gradient (group A,from A1 to A5),which were 0.4 W/cm,0.8 W/cm2,1.2 W/cm2,1.6 W/cm2 and 2.0 W/cm2 respectively.Secondly,set the duty cycle gradient group (group B,from B1 to B3),which were 10％,20％ and 50％ respectively.Lastly,set the exposure time group(group C,from C1 to C3),which were 30 s,90 s and 180 s.After 24 hours,the expression of GFP was observed by fluorescence microscopy,the transfection rates was detected by flow cytometry,the cell death were assessed by trypan blue exclusion.Results The plasmid transfection efficiency was varied under different ultrasonic parameters.Within a certain range,the increasing of parameters can improve the transfection efficiency,but when the parameters were too large (eg.the intensity＞1.6 W/cm2 or 50％ duty cycle),the actual transfection efficiency decreased due to the increased cell death.When the ultrasonic intensity was 1.2 W/cm2,the transfection efficiency and mortality were better than the other subgroups of group A.When the duty cycle was 20％,the transfection efficiency and mortality rate were better than the other subgroups of group B.Continue to increase the exposure time over 90 s was not statistically significant (P ＞0.05) for transfection efficiency and cell mortality.Conclusions The ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction is an efficient method for gene delivery in vitro.The transfection efficiency vary greatly under different parameters,so optimization parameters is conducive to the promotion of gene transfection.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of tumor of the head of pancreas(THP). Methods The clinical data of 277 cases of THP were restrospectively reviewed. All patients were diagnosed by US,CT, gastroenteric barium meal and /or operation. A comparison was made in 80 cases , who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy were divided into group A(41 patients operated during1982-1995) and group B(39 patients operated after January,1996) . Results 194 patients underwent surgical treatment,including explore laparotomy in 28,bilioenterostomy or T tube drainage in 86,pancreatoduodenectomy(PTD) in 80.Among 80 cases treated with PTD, the operation time,blood loss volume and blood transfusion volume during operation, and serious postoperative complication occurring rate in group A were significantly higher than those in group B(all P 0.05 ).The follow up results were as follows:the average survival time was (4.07 ?1.80) months in patients with bile external drainage, and (8.28 ?2.31) months in hepatojejunostomy,(P

Objective To observe the incidence of acute radiation pneumonitis (ARP) in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer treated by three-dimensional conformation radiotherapy or intersity-modulated radiation therapy,and investigate the predictive value of high dose volume and low dose volume of the total and ipsilateral lung on ARP.Methods 174 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer verified by pathology who received radical radiotherapy in our hospital from Aug 2013 to Nov 2015 were screened.Radioactive dose was 60 Gy-70 Gy,with 97 patients' dose of 60-64 Gy and 77 patients' dose of 65-70 Gy.Chemotherapy was done by paclitaxel + pentium first line treatment.155 patients were treated with radiotherapy alone and 19 with radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.The V5～ V30,MLD (mean lung dose),V5ipis ～ V30ipsi,MLDipsi were calculated from the dose volume histogram system.The ARP was evaluated according to Common Toxicity Criteria 4.0 (CTC4.0).Univafiate and nultivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to assess the correlated factors of ARP.Results Of 174 patients,26 patients (14.94％) developed radioactive pneumonia at grade 2,11 patients (6.32％) at grade 3,2 patients (1.15％) at grade 4.The correlative factors included the radiochemotherapy regimen (sequential chemotherapy to radiotherapy or concurrent radiochemotherapy),V5,V10,V20,V30,MLD of the total lung and ipsilateral lung according to univariate analysis.Multivariate analysis of all the factors mentioned above showed the V5,V20ipsi and MLD were the independent predictive factors associated with ARP.ROC analysis indicated that the cut-off point of V5,V20ipsi,MLD were 62.38％,47.14％and 16.85Gy respectively.According to the V5,V20ipsi value,174 patients were divided into three groups:B group V5＜62％+V20ipsi≥47％,C group V5≥62％+V20ipsi＜47％,D group V5≥62％+V20ipsi≥47％.The chisquare test between the C group and D group has statistical significance.Conclusion V5,V20ipsi,and MLD are the independent risk factors of ARP.Compared with V5,limiting V20ipsi threshold is more likely to result in ARP.

A fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric method to predict and detect the antioxidant ability of phenolic compounds was developed to accelerate the pace of finding the antioxidant with higher effect and low toxicity. The effect of experimental conditions on the relative peak intensity ratio of M+· ion to [ M+H]+ion in the FAB mass spectra of the compound was investigated, including matrix, scan time and concentration. The correlation of antioxidant activity with the I ( M+· )/I ( [ M+H ]+) value of flavonoids obtained in FAB mass spectra was studied. Then the antioxidant activity of 12 phenolic compounds was predicted using the above method and the results were compared with those obtained from thiobarbituric acid ( TBA) method. The results show that the I( M+· )/I( [ M+H]+) value of the phenolic compound obtained from FAB mass spectra could reflect their antioxidant activity, which could help to accelerate the development of the antioxidant drug.

Objective To evaluate the image quality of dynamic three-dimensional contrast enhanced ultrasonography(3D-CEUS) in liver tumors.Methods Twenty-five patients were examed with 2D-CEUS and dynamic 3D-CEUS.Contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging(CECT/MRI) were performed early or late.Two readers reviewed the images of both modalities and graded the images according to diagnostic criteria as follows:tumor blood fusion in arterial phase(unclear-score 0,moderate-score 1,clear-score 2),tumor boundry and relationship with periphery tissues (unclear score 0,moderate-score 1,clear-score 2).The concordance between the two modalities for showing liver tumors was evaluated by Kappa test.Results Twenty-three of 25 danymic 3D-CEUS were displayed successfully versus total objects in CECT/ MRI.Among them,for showing blood fusion,16 lesions scored 2,7 lesions scored 1,2 lesions scored 0 in danymic 3D-CEUS,meanwhile 18 lesions scored 2,7 lesions scored 1,0 lesion scored 0 in CECT/MRI,the Kappa value was 0.65.For showing tumor boundry and relationship with peripherytissues,16 lesions scored 2,7 lesions scored 1,2 lesions scored 0 in danymic 3D-CEUS,meanwhile 21 lesions scored 2,4 lesions scored 1,0 lesion scored 0 in CECT/MRI,the Kappa value was 0.52.Conclusions Danymic 3D-CEUS was shown to be useful for displaying tumor blood fusion,boundry and relationship with periphery tissues in single liver tuomor,the concordance between dynamic CEUS and CECT/MRI for single liver tuomor was fair.For huge liver tumor and multi-tumors,3D-CEUS can not give overall information.
