Objective To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3) in inducing apoptosis of colonic cancer cell line SW480. Methods The morphologic changes and apoptotic rate of SW480 cells induced by As 2O 3 were observed with fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The bcl-2 and Fas expressions induced by As 2O 3 in SW480 cells were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results 24 hours after exposed to As 2O 3, SW480 cells exhibited typical morphologic changes of apoptosis, the apoptotic rate of which was 2.1%~10.6%. A typical subdiploid peak before G 1 phase was observed by flow cytometry, and As 2O 3 mainly acted in G 2/M phase. As 2O 3 decreased bcl-2 expression and increased Fas expression in SW480 cells. Conclusion As 2O 3 could induce apoptosis of SW480 cells. The molecular mechanism of As 2O 3-induced apoptosis of SW480 cells might be down-regulating the bcl-2 expression and up-regulating the Fas expression.

Objective: To quantitatively study the incidental extra-cardiac ifndings (ECFs) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to better recognize those lesions in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 1169 suspected CAD patients received CCTA in our hospital from 2011-06 to 2013-03 and 1030 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 589 in-patients, 441 out-patients and 549 patients≥60 years of age,481 patients < 60 years of age. 3 physicians evaluated the incidental ECFs in the full ifeld of view (FOV) in different window level and window width for lung, mediastinum, thorax and upper abdominal areas. Clinical relevance of ECFs were classiifed by corresponding scores. Score 1, the patients with severe lesion need immediate treatment, score 2, the lesion with clinical and prognostic signiifcance and score 3, the ifnding without clinical signiifcance.
Results: There were 197/1030 (19.1%) patients having 224 ECFs and 27 (2.6%) patients having 2 ECFs; 90/1030 (8.7%) patients having 106 signiifcant lesions including 3 (0.3%) of lung cancer and 8 (0.8%) of pulmonary embolism; 107 patients with 118 lesions without signiifcance. ECFs were found in 114/589 (19.4%) in-patients and in 83/441 (18.8%) out-patients, P>0.05; 76/481 (15.8%) of patients < 60 years of age and 121/549 (22.0%) of patients≥60 years,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Unexpected ECFs detection rate was 19.1% in patients undergoing CCTA without further radiation exposure by reconstruction with the full FOV setting, and 8.7% of ECFs had clinical signiifcance. Radiologists should routinely analyze the extra-cardiac organs in CCTA.

Objective To compare the effects of atypical antipsyehoties treatment on PS0 sensory gating in first-episode schizophrenics. Methods The P50 auditory evoked potential was recorded by using conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm and stimulus train paradigm in 36 normal controls and 53 first-episode schizophrenics be-fore and after treatment,and compare the difference of P50 sensory gating after treatment. Results Before treat-ment, compared with control group, the atypical groups both had statistic difference of T-P50 amplitude ((1.01±0.88)μV, (0.68±0.64)μV, (0.58±0.47)μV), P50 suppression ((0.61±0.27), (0.54±0.22, (0. 59± 0.19)) in conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm and P50 amplitude,P50 suppression evoked by high frequency stimuli in stimulus train paradigm(P < 0.05), but no difference among the atypical groups (P > 0.05). After treat-ment,compared with control group, there was no statistic difference in olanzapine and elozapine groups of T-P50 amplitude and P50 suppression in conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm, but the difference in risperidone and que-tiapine groups still obviously(P<0.05). In stimulus train paradigm, there was no statistic difference of P50 ampli-tude, P50 suppression evoked by high frequency stimuli in every groups (P>0.05). Compared within atypical groups, the difference of P50 amplitude and P50 suppression were both obviously(P<0.05). Conclusion Each a-typical antipsychotic has different effect on P50 sensory gating;and the conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm and stimulus train paradigm P50 sensory gating may reflect different central neuron mechanism.

Objective: To assess the renal cortical perfusion parameters by the imaging of computed tomography (CT) in patients of essential hypertension (EH) with target organ damage.
Methods: A total of 90 subjects with the entire information including 59 EH patients were studied. The EH patients were divided into 2 groups: EH + target organ damage group,n=30 and EH without target organ damage group,n=29. In addition, there was a Control group,n=31 healthy volunteers. All subjects received 128-slice dual-source CT renal perfusion scanning, the quantitative perfusion of renal cortex blood lfow (BF), blood volume (BV), time to peak (TTP) and the mean transit time (MTT) were examined and compared among different groups.
Results: There were 90/97 (92.8%) participants eligible for perfusion analysis. Compared to Control group, EH without target organ damage group had the similar parameters of BF, BV, MTT and TTP,P>0.05. While EH + target organ damage group had decreased BF (214.6 ± 36.1) ml/(min?100 ml ) than Control group (262.1 ± 26.6) ml/(min?100 ml ),P<0.01, and BV, TTP, MTT were similar to Control group,P>0.05. Compared to EH without target organ damage group, the EH + target organ damage group presented decreased BF (214.6 ±3 6.1) ml/(min?100 ml ) vs (268.9 ± 33.1) ml/(min?100 ml ), P<0.01 and prolonged MTT, TTP,P< 0.05.
Conclusion: CT imaging may evaluate the renal cortical perfusion changes, and especially BF which can relfect the renal perfusion more sensitively than other parameters in EH + target organ damage patients.

Objective: To explore the features of ascending aortic distensibility (AAD) and risk factors in pre-hypertension (PHT) patients. Methods: A total of 206 participants who received retrospective ECG-triggered coronary CTA by physical check-up or by clinically suspected coronary artery disease (CTA) were enrolled. The participants were divided into 2 groups: Control group, the subjects with normal blood pressure,n=85 and Pre-hypertension group,n=121. A 128 slice dual-source CT scanner was used and the image was automatically reconstructed at every 5% absolute phases in entire R-R interval. The beginning of left coronary artery plane was deifned as the reference and 25 mm above the reference plane was deifned as interested region. ADD value was calculated. Results: Compared with Control group, Pre-hypertension group had decreased AAD,P<0.01 and similar normalized cross-sectional area (Ss),P>0.05; ADD value was similar among different gender and blood lipid levels. Correlation analysis presented that AAD was negatively related to age (r=-0.69,P=0.001), systolic blood pressure (r=-0.37,P=0.001), pulse pressure(r=-0.43,P=0.001) and glycosylated hemoglobin (r=-0.43,P<0.05). Age and systolic blood pressure were the independent risk factors for AAD decline (standardized β=-0.66,P=0.001) and (standardized β=-0.44,P=0.001). Conclusion: Without additional contrast media consumption and radiation dosage, retrospective ECG-triggered coronary CTA may detect AAD changes with risk factors at the early stage in pre-hypertension patients which is helpful to distinguish the high risk individuals.
