Purpose To explore the commonality and disparity between 64-slice CT coronary artery imaging and coronary angiography (CAG) for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, and to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis.Materials and Methods Forty-nine patients with suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) underwent both 64-slice CT coronary artery imaging and conventional coronary artery angiography, all available coronary segments were evaluated using a 15-segment modified AHA classification, and the results of both methods were compared and analyzed.Results 493 segments of coronary artery were evaluated, results of 29 segments were incongruent between 64-slice CT coronary artery imaging and CAG. With CAG as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CT coronary artery imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis were 91.6%, 95.4%, 91.0% and 95.7% respectively.Conclusion There is a high consistency between 64-slice CT coronary artery imaging and CAG for diagnosing CHD, 64-slice CT coronary artery imaging can be used to evaluate the nature of artery plaque, but it is inferior to CAG in diagnosing small angiostenosis.

Objective To evaluate hepatic toxicity of arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3) on rabbits with hepatic Vx-2 carcinoma by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and its clinical signification. Methods New Zealand rabbits with hepatic Vx-2 carcinoma were managed with normal saline (experimental group 1), normal saline plus lipiodol (experimental group 2), and As 2O 3 plus lipiodol (experimental group 3) respectively by TACE once, whereas experimental group 4 was treated with As 2O 3 by transcatheter arterial infusion(TAI) for 7 days consecutively. The morphological changes of the tumor adjancent hepatic tissue were observed under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. The hepatic function of the rabbits was also determined. Results The hepatic cells of the rabbits in the experimental groups 2 and 3 were injuried in various degrees, but the injury extent was smaller than that in the experimental group 4 (P

Objective To discuss the clinical application of drainage for lung abscess by needle puncture under CT guidance. Methods 18 cases of lung abscess were drainaged by needle puncture under CT guidance, including direct aspiration by puncture needle 1-3 times (n=8) and retaining drainage tube continuously (n=10). Results 17 cases with this procedure were succeeded possessing success rate of 94.7%(17/18). The patients were followed up for 11-35 days with symptom relieving better obviously and the focus shrinkage or disappeared (n=16), the curative rate reached 88.9%(16/18). The main complication was pneumothorax with capacities of %(n=1).Conclusions The curative course of lung abscess can be shortened greatly by percutaneous needling drainage under CT guidance with mild trauma. The procedure is simple with high successful rate and less complication.

Objective: To develop a magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) based on pyrrole-modified magnetic nanoparticles to determine 16 types of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in commercial liquors. Methods : Fe3O4 magnetic nuclei were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the polypyrrole-modified magnetic nanomaterials were prepared with the chemical oxidation method. Magnetic solid-phase extraction of beer, grape wine, rice wine and Chinese spirits was performed at 10% alcohol by volume, extraction duration of 20 min and ethyl acetate elution of 10 min, followed by addition of 1 g NaCl for reduction of emulsification effect. The 16 types of PAEs were determined using GC-MS/MS with DB-5MS capillary column (30 m×250 μm, 0.25 μm) under the mode of electron impact ionization (EI) and dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (dMRM), with quantitative analysis using the external standard method. The standard curve, detection limit, spike recovery rate and precision of GC-MS/MS for determination of 16 types of PAEs were evaluated. Results: Pyrrole was successfully embedded onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles in the form of polymer, and the magnetic nanoparticles modified by polypyrrole were well characterized, showing unapparent matrix and emulsification effects. There was a good linear relationship for the 16 types of PAEs at 50 to 5 000 ng/mL (r=0.999 5-0.999 9), and the spike recovery rate of 16 types of PAEs ranged from 71.61% to 110.50% at 100, 500 and 1 000 μg/kg, with relative standard deviations of 3.78% to 7.41%, detection limits of 0.02 to 1.47 μg/kg. PAEs were detected in 20 out of 50 liquor samples, with 30.00%, 60.00%, 40.00% and 70.00% detection rates in beer, grape wine, rice wine and Chinese spirits, respectively. Conclusions This method is sensitive to determine 16 types of PAEs in liquor samples, with unapparent matrix and emulsification effects, and the polypyrrole-modified magnetic composite nanoparticles present high adsorption of PAEs in liquor samples, which is feasible for monitoring of PAEs in multiple types of liquor samples.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative pulmonary protection therapy on surfactant protein A(SP–A) content in lung tissue and postoperative complications. Methods Sixty patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) who underwent surgical treatment in Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were enrolled in this study. Thirty patients were included in the control group and 30 patients in the pulmonary protection group. The control group was given routine preoperative preparation, while the pulmonary protection group was given 1 week pulmonary protection therapy on the basis of routine preoperative preparation. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) was collected and pulmonary function was re-checked after admission and before surgery. The content of SP-A in EBC was detected by ELISA. The lung tissue samples were collected during surgery, and the SP-A level was measured by Western blotting. Results The SP-A level of the pulmonary protection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (1.05±0.21 vs. 0.93±0.16, P<0.05). The SP-A content in the preoperative EBC of the pulmonary protection group was significantly higher than that after admission[(5.51 ± 1.48) ng/L vs. (4.99 ± 1.32) ng/L, P<0.01]. After pulmonary protection treatment, the preoperative pulmonary function index was significantly higher than that after admission (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications between two groups (23.3%vs. 43.3%, P>0.05). The average postoperative hospital stay was statistically significant shorter in the pulmonary protection group than that in the control group[(9.2 ± 3.1) d vs. (11.6 ± 4.8) d, P<0.05]. Conclusion Preoperative pulmonary protection therapy can not only improve pulmonary function and shorten postoperative hospital stay, but also improve SP-A content in lung tissue.

The aim of the present study, performed on two different groups of volunteers, is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablet. After administration of high, medium and low doses of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablets, AUC and C(max) of two compounds both increase significantly with increase of dose. Neither normalized AUC/Dose nor C(max)/Dose has significant difference between every two tested dose groups. The similar results can be observed as for the parameters of t(max). Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide are both eliminated with linear characteristics. After repeated administration of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablets, AUC, C(max) and C(min) of lisinopril in the steady state increase. AUC and C(min) increase significantly. As for hydrochlorothiazide, AUC, C(max), C(min), and t(max) also increase in steady state. AUC and C(min) increase significantly. Administered with the test medication, lisinopril has an fluctuation index (FI) value of 2.29 and reaches a relative steady concentration. But hydrochlorothiazide has an FI value of 4.09 with relatively large fluctuating concentrations.

Objective To investigate the effect of quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the apoptosis of Caco-2 cells and its mechanism. Methods Caco-2 cells were incubated with 3OC12-HSL for 4 h and then examined by MTT method for cytoactivities. Flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells. Expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB were detected by Western blot. Results After exposure to 3OC12-HSL for 4 h, cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells was reduced(P<0.05) with dose-dependent pattern, and higher dose of 3OC12-HSL leaded to increasing apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells(P<0.05). 3OC12-HSL raised expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB detected by Western blot. Conclusion Quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL can effect cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells and may induce its apoptosis by enhancing the expression of p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB protein.
