Objective To study the value and the superiority of multi-slice spiral CT angiography of pulmonary artery in combination with deep vein of lower limb in diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and lower limb deep vein venography were performed in all suspected patients of PE with single or multi-slice spiral CT.The number and type of the embolus were calculated.Results Among the 44 patents of pulmonary embolism,34 patents had both PE and deep vein thrombo embolism (DVT) ,10 patients had only PE.The total ratio of the PE diagnosed with single slice spiral CT and multi-slice spiral CT was 12.1% and 19.0%, respectively , there were statistical significance, (P=0.004); the ratio of the PE upon deuto-segment pulmonary arteries was 25.3% and 29.7%, respectively, there was no statistical significance, (P=0.104); the ratio of the PE below deuto-segment pulmonary arteries was 1.1% and 10.2%, respectively, there was statistical significance, (P=0.000).Conclusion The technique of angiography of pulmonary artery in combination with deep vein of lower limb in diagnosing PE is a non-invasive, fast, sensitive and specific method for PE. Multi-slice spiral CT is superior to single slice spiral CT in the diagnosis of PE.

Objective To investigate the incidence of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) complications in neonates. Methods A retrospective analysis of PICC in 201 cases in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from January 2015 to October 2016, who were divided into the central group and non-central group according to the position of the catheter tip. Compare unplanned extubation rate, catheter-related bloodstream infection rate, catheter indwelling time of PICC catheter and removing reasons between these two groups. Results One hundred and sixty-five cases in central group and thirty-six cases in non-central group. The unplanned extubation rate of the central group was 18.2% (30/165) while 22.2% (8/36) of non-central group, the difference wasnot statistically significant (χ2=0.315, P=0.639). The difference of the catheter-related bloodstream infection rate (P=0.471), the catheter indwelling time and removing reasons between these two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions Even if the position of PICC tip is not in superior or inferior vena, it still can be used in neonatal population, but should pay attention to safe medical care.

Increased evidences indicate that resistin is a new hormone secreted from adipose tissue, it is reported to be an important signal molecule linking between obesity,insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Many factors can affect the gene expression of resistin. However, the detailed function of resistin still remains mysterious and much work needs to be undertaken. [

[Objective] To explore the in-vitro determination method for the recovery rate of sinomenine in microdialysis probe and to investigate the influencing factors. [Methods] The recovery rate of sinomenine was detected by concentration difference method (by gain and by loss) and zero-net flux method. [Results] The recovery rate detected by increment method was as the same as that by decrement method; the recovery rate had no correlation with the sinomenine concentration in the solvent. Sinomenine recovery assessed by concentration difference method had a good intra-day stability and intra-day reproducibility. Sinomenine concentration and recovery in the solvent could be determined accurately by zero-net flux method. [ Conclusion ] Microdialysis sampling can be used for the pharmacokinetic study of sinomenine and decrement method (ie. retrodialysis) can be used for the determination of recovery rate of sinomenine.

Objective To observe the protective effect of Naoli Zhibao(NZ) on mice with learning and memory impairment.Methods (1) Thirty-two NIH mice were randomized into pseudo-operation group,model group,and low-and high-dose NZ groups(at the dose of 4 and 8 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively).Except the pseudo-operation group,the mice in other groups received the operation of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.After treatment for 10 days,the learning and memory abilities of the mice were observed by step-down test,and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric oxide(NO) as well as the activities of superoxide dismustase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) were detected.Meanwhile,the free amino acid content in mice cerebral cortex was measured with high performance liquid chromatography.(2) Forty NIH mice aged 9 months were randomized into normal control group,mimetic aging group,and low-and high-dose NZ groups(at the dose of 4 and 8 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively).The mice models of mimetic aging were induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose 0.5mL for 6 weeks,and the mice in NZ groups were also given gastric gavage of NZ for 6 weeks.After treatment,the learning and memory abilities of the mice were observed by step-down test,and the contents of epinephrine(E),norepinephrine(NE) and tryptophan(TP) in mice cerebral cortex were measured.Results (1) NZ significantly improved the memory ability of mice with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury(P

Objective To evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of Cyclobuxine D in transdermal patch in Newzealand rabbits by determining concentration-time curve and by comparing with the pharmacokinetics of Cyclobuxine Dinjection and suspension.Methods Precolumn derivatization RP-HPLC was used to detect the concentration of Clovirobuxine D in rabbits plasma at different time,and software 3p87 was used to analyze the pharmacokinetics parameter.Results In contrast to oral delivery,relatively steadily sustained blood concentration with minimal fluctuation and prolonged peak time were presented in the rabbits over a long period after transdermal administration.The absolute bioavailability of Cyclobuxine D was 30.472 %.Conclusion Cyclobuxine D Patch exhibits good controlled-release properties and maintains appropriate blood concentration for a prolonged time.

Objective: To determine the condition of drying process for Radix Tripterygii Wilfordii extract. Methods: Under different dying temperature and time, both triptolide and triptophenolide extracted from extract of Radix Tripterygii Wilfordii were measured. Results: After Radix Tripterygii Wilfordi extract was dried for 48 hours at 80 ?C , loss of triptophenolide and triptolide was relatively low, but after dried more than 48 hours at 100 ?C , the content of triptophenolide and triptolide reduced by 15.0%～30.0%. Conclusion: Drying temperature for Radix Tripteryqii Wilfordii extract should be controlled under 80 ?C .

The membrane is with good releasing-control activity under the above condition.

Objective To study the abnormal findings and metabolic alterations of the brain in chronic hepatic disease with MRI and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) for better understanding the clinical significance of pallidal hyperintensity and the role in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) . Methods Brain MRI and 1H-MRS examination were performed in 50 patients with chronic hepatic disease and 20 healthy volunteers. The pallidus index (PI) was calculated and the height of resonance peaks of Glx was measured. The correlation between PI and Child/Pugh classification, and the association between blood ammonia and the spectroscopic alterations were studied. Pre-and post-therapeutic comparative study was also conducted in 5 cases with chronic HE. Results PI was gradually increased from healthy volunteers to patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis (1.01?0.04, 1.06?0.09, and 1.18?0.09), and the differences in PI value among them were significant (F=22.294, P

Objective To study the value in predicting the postoperative pulmonary function of the patient with quantitative MSCT.Methods 16-slice spiral CT scanning of lung was performed in 24 patients with pulmonary carcinoma before and after the operation during eupnea.Then the postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1) and forced vital capacity(FVC)were calculated according to the preoperative lung capacity which was measured by quantitative MSCT,FEV1 and FVC which were measured by pulmonary functional test(PFT),then the results of FEV1 and FVC predicted by MSCT were compared with that two months later after operation.Results There was significant relativity in FEV1 and FVC between predicted by MSCT before operation and measured by PFT after operation ( P was 0.190 and 0.563 respectively).Conclusion Quantitative MSCT can predict the postoperative pulmonary function exactly,which provides dependable reference data for lung resection in the patients.with pulmonary carcinoma.
