Conclusion The medium from cultured retinal neurons of SD rats can induce ES cells commitment differentiation into neuron like structure.

Objective:To culture canine dental pulp stem cells(cDPSCs)in vitro.Methods:Canine pulp cells were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion and explanted tissue culture respectively.Cell morphology was observed under phase-contrast micro-scope.The clone forming unit(CFU)of the cells was examined by plate clone formation assay.Cell markers and protein-expression were examined by flow cytometry(FC)and immunofluorescence.Odontogenic and adipogenic potential were evaluated by alizarin red staining and oil red O staining.Results:Short spindle fibroblast-like and steadily growing cells were obtained by both methods.The clone assay showed that CFU was 1 5.1 7% ±2.79%.FC observasion showed that the CD90,STRO-1 and CD24 positive cells were 24.43% ±7.1 0%,20.67% ±1 .42% and 2.03% ±0.06% respectively,but CD34 was negative.Immunofluorescence analysis showed positive expression of Nestin,Vimentin,weak expression of ALP and negative expression of DSP of the cells.Differentiation ex-periment confirmed the odontogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential of the cells.Conclusion:cDPSCs can be cultured in vitro.

Objective To show the feasibility and value in the diagnosis of airway obstruction and pulmonary embolism with MR oxygen-enhanced ventilation combined with pulmonary perfusion imaging. Methods Eight canines were implemented for peripheral pulmonary embolism by intravenous injection of gelfoam granules at pulmonary segmental arterial level, and five of them were formed airway obstruction models by inserting self-made balloon catheter at second-bronchia. The oxygen-enhanced MR ventilation imaging was introduced by subtracting the images of pre- and post- inhaled pure oxygen. The MR pulmonary perfusion imaging was achieved by the first-pass contrast agent method. Moreover, the manifestation of MR ventilation and perfusion imaging was observed and contradistinguished with that of general pathologic anatomy, ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy, and pulmonary angiography. Results The manifestations of airway obstruction regions in MR ventilation and perfusion imaging were matched, but those of pulmonary embolism regions were dismatched. The defect range of airway obstruction in MR ventilation image was smaller than that in ventilation scintigraphy. The abnormal perfusion regions of pulmonary embolism were divided into defect regions and reduce regions based on the time courses of signal intensity changes. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis on pulmonary embolism by MR ventilation combined with perfusion technique were 75.0% and 98.1%. The diagnostic results were in good coherence with ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy and pulmonary angiography(K=0.743, 0.899). Conclusion The MR oxygen-enhanced ventilation combined with pulmonary perfusion imaging can be used to diagnose the airway and vascular abnormity in lung. This technique resembles the ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy. It can provide quantitative functional information and better spatial and temporal resolution, and possesses the value of clinical application.

Objective To establish the optimum preparation process for Syrigopicroside Dropping Pills.Methods The preparation conditions,such as the proportion between the extracts and matrix,dripping temperature,the ratio of matrix,were studied with orthogonal test.The obtained results were tested by three indexes,such as the variation coefficient of weight of pill,time limit of dissolution and appearance of the dropping pills with analysis of variance.The preparation process was optimized.Results The optimal technical conditions were as follows:the ratio of PEG4000 and PEG6000 as matrix was 4∶1,the ratio of syrigopicroside to matrix was 1∶4,and the dripping temperature was 80 ℃.Conclusion The preparation technology can meet the requirement for dripping pill specified in China Pharmacopeia(2005 Edition).

Objective:To investigate the function of the quality factor in the growth of the total heath expenditure, in order to provide references for making the object of the health policy. Methods: Through the decomposition the identical equation of the growth of the total expenditure on health, to analyze the contribution of medical service quality and its factor. Results: The sustaining improvement of medical service quality in the important factor on the constant growth of the total expenditure on health. Conclusion: The primary objective of health policy is to improve the quality of medical services, and the secondary is to control the expense.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the radiation dose caused by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in PET/CT examination and to optimize the concerned radiation protection. Methods Thirty patients from our conventional PET/CT examination were simple randomly selected, and they all underwent whole body PET/CT imaging. The radioactive dose of injected 18F-FDG was recorded. The internal radiation dose was calculated and the external radiation dose from patients was measured with the 451P-DE-SI ion chamber survey meter. The staff's dose was recorded with thermoluminescent detector (TLD). All dosimetry data were processed and analyzed statistically with Excel 2003. Results The injected radioactive dose of 18F-FDG was (432.9±51.8) MBq, and effective dose equivalent received per patient was (8.23±0.99) roSy. The correlation coefficient (r) of the dose equivalent rate and distance was-0.994 by power function curve fitting, and that of dose equivalent rate and time was - 0.988 by exponential curve fitting. The staff's dose was lower than the annual dose limit. Conclusions The patient's internal radiation dose caused by 18F-FDG in PET/CT examination is low, nonetheless, the clinician should always consider optimizing and minimizing the necessary radiation received by the patients. The patients having been injected with 18F-FDG should stay in one place to decrease their radiation to the public. From the medical point of view in optimizing radiation exposure, there may still be a potential to lower the injected 18F-FDG activity.

Objective:To explore novel compounds with anti-EV71 activity. Methods: A series of oligopeptides were designed based on the active groove of the EV71 3C protease using molecular simulation technology. Furthermore, some oligopeptides were syn-thesized and tested for the inhibition ability against EV71 in vitro. Results:Pentapeptides had higher binding affinity to the EV71 3C protease than the other oligopeptides, such as compounds 25 and 16. Therefore, compounds 25 and 16 were synthesized and tested in vitro for the anti-EV71 activity, and compound 25 exhibited potent anti-EV71 activity(EC50 =1. 36 μmol·L-1, CC50 =211. 94 μmol ·L-1, SI=155. 84), while compound 16 had no evident effect on EV71. Conclusion: It is worthy of further investigation on com-pound 25 as a novel scaffold of anti-EV71inhibitor.
