Objective To Optimize the mandibular CT scanning methods with changing the scanning position,to reduce the radiation dosage.Methods Totally 50 consecutive patients with mandibular CT examination were enrolled in the study and divided into position-optimized group and routine group (n =25,respectively) randomly.The image quality,volume CT-dose index (CTDIvol),scanning length,and dose length product (DLP) were compared.Results There was no significant difference in subjective image quality and CTDIvol between two groups.But the scanning length and DLP in positionoptimized group were significantly reduced by about 20 ％ (t =4.986,P ＜ 0.05) and 16％ (t =3.682,P ＜0.05) compared with routine group.The lens were out of scanning field with the position-optimized protocol.Conclusions The scanning length would be efficiently reduced and the lens avoided with the position-optimized protocol,which would subsequently reduce the effective radiation dose.

Objective To investigate the role of Rho in SiO2 induced α-SMA expression in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). Methods HBECs were cultured and stimulated with SiO2. Immunocytochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of α-SMA. The activity of Rho was determined by GST pull down assay. In the prevention experiment,SiO2-stimulated HBECs were incubated with Rho inhibitor Y27632,and the expression of α-SMA was examined by Western blot. Results With SiO2 (0-300 μg/mL) treatment,the expression of α-SMA increased gradually,and 200 μg/mL of SiO2 led to the highest expression of α-SMA which was (5.09±1.98) times of the expression of α-SMA in the control group(P＜0.01). HBECs treated with SiO2 (200 μg/mL) for indicated time (1,2,6,12,and 24 h)showed an obvious increase of Rho activity(P＜0.01). Y27632 inhibited SiO2-induced α-SMA expression significantly,and the inhibition rate of 20 and 30 μmol/L Y27632 was 68% and 75%,respectively (P＜0.01).Conclusion Rho signaling pathway may mediate SiO2 induced α-SMA expression in HBECs.
