Objective To analyze CT portal venography (CTPV) manifestations of portal collateral circulation in patients with cirrhosis by using a 16-detector row spiral CT scanner. Methods CTPV was performed in 36 patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis, the diagnosis was proved by clinical data, hepatic function findings and imaging signs. By using post-processing reconstruction technique, 3D images of portal venous system and portal collateral circulation were obtained. Results CTPV images displayed the portal venous system and its collateral circulation stereoscopically. Of 36 patients, left gastric varices were seen in 29 (80.6%), lower esophageal varices in 18 (50.0%), short gastric or posterior gastric varices in 15 (41.7%),paraesophageal varices in 9 (25.0%), gastro-renal or splenorenal shunts in 8 (22.2%), sponge-like transformation of portal vein in 7 (19.4%), paraumbilical and abdominal wall varices in 6 (16.7%), congenital cavernous in 6 (16. 7%) and paravertebral venous shunts in 4 (11.1%). Conclusion CTPV can well display the site, extent and severity of the portal collateral circulation in patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis, which is of great clinical importance for judging the patient's condition, for selecting therapeutic protocols and for estimating prognosis.

Objective: To determine the effects of intravenous anesthetics (fentanyl,midazolam and propofol )on inflammatory responses. Method: We employed carrageenan-sensitized endotoxemic rabbit model. Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to one of four groups,control group(no anesthetic was used), fentanyl group, midazolam group and propofol group. Different anesthetics were used intravenously for anesthesia induction and maintenance according to the group classification. Meanwhile, all animals were mechanically ventilated, then, 2?g?kg~(-1) lipopolysaccharide(LPS) were injected for endotoxin challenge. Result:In all groups, serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)activity began to increase at 30 min,reached its maximal level at 60 min,and tended to decrease at 120 min after (LPS) challenge,and the significant increase of TNF activity was associated with development of hypotension. Meanwhile,serum phospholipase A_2(PLA_2)activity began to increase at 60 min and persisted in going up within 2h. Those animals,with continuous infusion of these three different anesthetics and mechanical ventilation,had much lower peak level of TNF and higher mean arterial pressure (MAP)than control levels, but their changes of serum PLA_2 activity had no significant difference from control level. Conclusion: With mechanical ventilation, intravenous infusion of these anesthetics can reduce LPS induced injury in the acute phase of endotoxemia, probably by the inhibition of TNF production.

AIM:To explore the characteristics of hepatitis B virus S gene mutation in the vertical transmission after active and passive vaccination .METHODS:Fifteen cases of immunoprophylaxis failure were enrolled in the study . HBV S gene (including pres-S and S) from the mothers, newborns before active and passive vaccination and 7-month-old infants with immunoprophylaxis failure were detected by PCR amplification .The characteristics of HBV S gene mutation were compared among the 3 groups.RESULTS: The genotype of HBV in the newborns and the infants was the same as that in the mothers .The frequencies of mutation in the 2 fragments of the HBV S gene had no significant difference between the 3 groups.The homology tree model based on HBV S gene was analyzed in the 3 groups, in which every group had their own cluster.There were 15 different mutation sites between 7 pairs of mothers and newborns .There were 3 different muta-tion sites between 3 pairs of newborns and infants (nt273A→A/G, nt512C→C/T and nt1139C→A), among which the first 2 were located in the S gene region but not in the “a” determinant , and the latter was located in the overlap region of S and X genes .There were 25 different mutation sites between 9 pairs of mothers and infants , but only 1 case had a differ-ent mutation site between the mother , newborn and infant .CONCLUSION: The HBV species in newborns and infants with immunoprophylaxis failure were transmitted from the mothers .The mutations in the HBV S gene with immunoprophy-laxis failure happened before and after active and passive vaccination , mainly before vaccination .The relationship between HBV S gene mutations and immunoprophylaxis failure should be further explored .

Astragalus produced in Gansu were chosen as the raw material to leachate. Studied the antibiotic effects of the leaching solution on the cariogenic bacteria and compared with the imported bacteriostatic product MI. Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli were cultured in the medium for 24 h. The PH and A600 values were measured. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SPSS 13.0. The leaching solution of astragalus has the same inhibitory effects on the growth and acid production of streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli as MI.

Objective:To study the concentrations of fine particulate matters and ultrafine particles and influenced factors during winter in an area of Beijing .Methods:Real-time monitoring of particles ’ mass and number concentrations were conducted in an area of Beijing from February 7th to 27th , 2013.At the same time, the meteorological data were also collected from the Beijing meteorological website .Differences of the particles ’ mass and number concentrations during different periods were analyzed using Mann -Whitney U test.Meanwhile, the influenced factors were also analyzed .Results: The mean concentra-tions of fine particulate matters and ultrafine particles were ( 157.2 ±142.8 ) μg/m3 and (25 018 ± 9 309) particles/cm3, respectively.The particles’ number and mass concentrations in haze days were 1.27 times and 2.91 times higher than those in non-haze days, respectively.The mass concentrations of fine particulate matters in the self-monitoring site were higher than those in the nearest central monitoring sites, and the hourly-average concentrations of particles were significantly consistent with those at the commuter times.Meanwhile, the setting off of fireworks/firecrackers during the Spring Festival could lead to short-term increases of the particles ’ number and mass concentrations .When the wind speed was low and the related humidity was high , the concentrations of particulate matters were relatively high , and the mass concentrations of fine particulate matters were lagged about 1-2 d.Conclusion: The level of the particulate matters in this area was high .Heavy traffic , setting off of fireworks/firecrackers and meteoro-logical factors may be some of the main factors affecting the concentrations of the particulate matters in this area.Among those factors, the effect of setting off of fireworks/firecrackers didn’t last long and the effect of the meteorological factors had a hysteresis effect .

BACKGROUND:Hip’s anatomy structure is complex, and the traditional two-dimensional imaging, such as X-ray film or CT scan, is susceptible to image overlap and other soft tissue. As a result, there are some limitations in the diagnosis of hip disease. The digital model is built based on reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. It is comprehensive, intuitive and accurate of the stereo configuration of the hip and the spatial relations of other parts’ anatomical structures. This study has a broad application prospect. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct the personalized three-dimensional entity model of the hip bone with computer aided technology. METHODS: The human hips were scanned with a portable three-dimensional laser scanner, and then the point cloud data of the hips were gotten. The point cloud was processed and the three-dimensional model reconstruction was carried out by using the engineering software Geomagic and the computer aided software CimatronE. Three-dimensional print of hip was completed and the model was gotten, which was consistent with the geometry of hip bone, through the rapid prototyping machine. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A model with good geometric similarity and biomechanical characteristics was built by digital modeling method based on reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. This way of digital modeling provided the basis for digital manufacturing of artificial hip, virtual assembly, stress analysis and surgical simulation.
