Objective To evaluate the value of the fusion of 99m Tc-MIBI imaging technology apply in the diagnosis of malignant lung tumor. Methods Thirty - four cases with lung nodules proved by X-ray and/or CT scanning, a total of 48 lung nodular lesions. And the imaging with-99m Tc-MIBI of chest performed at 10 minutes and 2 hours delayed after injection by GE Infinia Hawkeye 4 SPECT-CT. then the regions of interesting ( ROI) were drawn in the tumor and contra lateral position to calculate the radioactivity ratios of tumor to normal ( T/NT) , and fused with the spiral CT scanning image in the same machine, and reading the early and delayed image respectively. Judged the result of the image develops, and statistical analysis of the ratio (T/NT) according to the final pathologic consequence. Results All cases with total of 48 nodular lesions, 21 nodules were positive in early imaging, 16 nodules were positive in delayed imaging (the ratio T/NT over 3. 33). defined the delayed image positive as the final criterion, The(T/NT)ratios of Malignant lung lesions were significantly higher than the benign lesions ( P ＜0. 05). Negative nodes 27, 13 cases of lung cancer lesions were malignant, confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination. The falsepositive nodules 3, false-negative nodules 2. The sensitivity was: 88.88%, the specificity was: 90.9% positive predictive value ( +PV) was: 84. 21% , negative predictive value (-PV) is: 93.75%. Conclusion 99mTc-MIBI as a tumor positive imaging agent is highly sensitivity to lung lesions, but specificity is not so high.

BACKGROUND: It is important to study the methods of culturing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to obtain a great amount of high purity MSCs for applying ocular tissues constructed by tissue engineering technique to treat eye diseases.OBJECTTVE: To separate and culture in vitro MSCs from bone marrow of the adult rats by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherence culture, and observe the growing characteristics and the possibility of mass multiplication.DESIGN: A completely randomized grouping design/repetitive measuring experiment.SETTING: Pathological laboratory, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: Four six-week-old SD rats about 250 g, grade Ⅱ of cleaning, were provided by the Animal Center of Sun Yat-sen University [certificate number: SCSK(Yue)2004/0011], about 250 g each rat and there was no limit to the sex. The main reagents and instruments included low sugar Dulbecco modified Eagle culture medium (DMEM/F12, American Gibco Corporation), trypsin (fetal bovine serum (FBS, Hangzhou Sijiqing Bio-Engineering Material Research Institute), American Gibco Corporation), disodium edetate, lymphocyte separating medium, fibronectin, CD44, CD34, CD31 monoclonal antibodies, two-step-method kit for immunohistochemistry (Beijing Zhong shan Biotechnology Corporation).METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Key laboratory of Ophthalmology (Sun Yat-sen University), Ministry of ethanol (750 g/L) for 10 minutes. Under aseptic condition, the medullaris cavitas was exposed, the syringe containing application m edium was directly punctured into the femoral cavity, the cells in the medullaris cavitas were washed out with the culture medium containing heparin and taken as the cell suspension. The bone marrow-derived MSCs were separated and purified by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherence culture, and the growing conditions of the wells. When the cells had generally connected with each other, they were fixed with methanol or dimethy ketone in situ for 10 minutes, and then hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining or immunohistochemical staining. Antibodies against fiinoculated to 96-well culture plate by a cell density of 4.25×107/L, with 200 μL every well; then put the culture plate into culture box. Then from the next day to the sixth day, 5 g/L MTT solution was added into two rows (20 μL every well) every day, continuously cultured for 4 hours, then the supernatant was removed, and 200 μL DMSO was added to each well, agitated for 5 minutes, then detected the absorbance (A) values at 570 nm wave length, and a growth curve was drawn.branes were clear and the cell bodies were lucent. Being cultured for 2 days, there appeared adherent cells. 3 days later,most of the adherent cells extended and appeared to be in polygon, star or long-shuttle shapes. 4 days later, the cells showed to be in division growth stage; and about 12 days later, the cell clones were connected to each other, appearing curve of subcultured MSCs was in S shape. Cells began growing fast on the 2nd day after being passaged, and they entered the growth period for 3-4 days followed by saturation period, and then cells stopped growing.CONCLUSION: It is a simple and practical method to separate MSCs from the bone marrow of adult rats by means of density gradient centrifugation and adherence. MSCs can greatly proliferate in vitro and offer seed cells for the application of tissue engineering technique to treat eye diseases.

Objective　To evaluate the expression of Fas/FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes and its possible role in Behcet disease. Methods　The expression of Fas and FasL antigen on peripheral blood T lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry and three-colour double marked immunofluorescence methods in 26 patients with Behcet disease and 43 healthy individuals. Results　The difference was significant between Behcet disease (25.70%±7.32%) and controls (14.02%±6.30%) concerning the Fas expression on CD4+ T lymphocytes(P＜0.01) . But no difference was found concerning the expression of FasL antigen between Behcet disease and controls (P＞0.05).The expression of Fas antigen on CD8+ T lymphocytes from Behcet disease (9.47%±6.97%)was significantly higher than that in control group(3.47%±2.75%), but no difference was found concerning FasL antigen expression on CD8+ T lymphocytes between Behcet disease and controls(P＞0.05).Conclusion　These results indicate the imbalance of the expression of Fas and FasL on T lymphocytes in Behcet disease is responsible for the perpetuation and recurrence of Behcet disease for the activated lymphocytes would not be eliminated through apoptosis mediated by Fas/FasL system.
