Purpose To analyze the 64-row spiral CT manifestations and evaluate the diagnostic value in early primary ureteral carcinoma.Materials and Methods Fifteen cases of early primary ureteral carcinoma proved by surgery and pathology were reviewd.Unenhanced scan,enhanced scan in arterial phase,parenchymal phase,delayed phase and CPR construction were performed in all patients.MIP were performed in 10 cases.Results ① the localization of lesions:7cases were located at the right ureter and 8 cases at the left.2 cases were located at the upper portion of the ureter,6 at mid portion,and 7 at lower portion;② CT manifestations:8 cases showed irregular thickened wall and central lumen stenosis,4 cases eccentric soft tissue mass in lumen and crescent or linear vestigial lumen,3 cases soft tissue density and obsolescent lumen;③the enhanced features:the tumor was demonstrated apparent and uniform enhancement in 13 cases,inhomogeneous enhancement in 2 cases after administration of contrast medium;④ the accompanied signs:proximate renal and ureteral presented distention,dropsy in different degrees,5 cases appeared delayed development.Conclusion 64-row spiral CT volume scan and 3D reconstruction with multiplane and multiorientation,combined with axial enhanced scan,can show lesions dimensionly and increase the dignostic accuracy in early primary ureteral carcinoma,which has an important value.

Objective:To investigate the influence of different routes of administration on vaccine efficiency of peptide-pulsed dendritic cells(DC).Methods:Immunization of syngeneic C57BL/6 mice with bone marrow-derived murine DC pulsed with SIINFEKL, a MHC class Ⅰ-restricted peptide from chicken ovalbumin(OVA) sited at 257-264 amino acid residuals were performed via subcutaneous(s.c.), intramuscular(i.m.), intravenous(i.v.), and intraperitoneal(i.p.) administration, respectively. Seven days later the mice were sacrificed and the splenocytes were prepared to analyze antigen-specific CTL lysis for target cells and IFN-?-producting CD8+T lymphocytes using in vivo CTL assay and intracellular cytokine staining(ICS), respectively.Results:The results from in vivo CTL assay showed that the CTL lysis activities were 37.3%?7.3%, 10.8%?2.3%, 56.9%?3.6% and 61.0%?4.2% via s.c., i.m., i.v., and i.p. administration, respectively. Similarly, ICS showed that IFN-?-producting cells in total CD8+T lymphocytes were 0.43%?0.09%, 0.85%?0.12%, 0.76%?0.14% and 0.15%?0.04%, respectively.Conclusion:Different routes of administration has an obvious influence on vaccine efficiency of peptide-pulsed DC. The i.p. immunization with DC elicites the strongest CTL lysis activity, i.v. immunization is next, and s.c., in particular i.m. is the worst, suggesting that i.p. administration may be a safe and effective route for immunization with peptide-pulsed DC against cancers in a mice model.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic sensitivity of Salmonella infection in children with diarrhea in Zhongshan City for rational use of antibiotics.Methods A total of 6 920 stool specimens were collected from children with diarrhea including outpatients and inpatients in Zhongshan Boai Hospital from September 2009 to April 2013.Salmonella strains (n = 344)were isolated and identified by enrichment culture.The overall infection rate was 5.0%(344/6 920).Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by VITEK-2 Compact automicroscan.Results Of the 344 strains of Sal-monella,185 (53.8%)strains were Salmonella typhimurium ,43 (12.5%)were Salmonella stanley ,29 (8.4%)were Sal-monella enteritidis .The male-to-female ratio was 1.8∶1 for the children with diarrhea.The infection rate was 68.9% (237/344)in children under 1-year old.Susceptibility testing results indicated that majority (88.9%-98.0%)of these Salmonella strains were susceptible to levofloxacin,piperacillin-tazobactam,cefepime,ceftazidime,and ceftriaxone,but to ampicillin, 39.2% of the strains were susceptible.Conclusions Most Salmonella infections in Zhongshan City were caused by Salmonella typhimurium,followed by Salmonella stanley and Salmonella enteritidis .Such infections usually peak in summer and autumn seasons.The chidren under 1-year old were more susceptible to Salmonella infections.Higher incidence of infection is associat-ed with boys.Antibiotics should be chosen reasonably and prudently based on antimicrobial sensitivity testing.

Objective　To investigate exogenous ceramide-induced apoptosis in colon carcinoma LoVo cells.Methods　LoVo cells were pretreated for 3 h with or without the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a potent protein kinase C (PKC) stimulator, later treated with C2-, C6-ceramide or C2-dihydroceramide, and then passed through gel electrophoresis, Heochest 33342 fluorescence staining and flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining. The treated LoVo cells were observed for biochemical and morphologic changes. Results　Treatment with C2- or C6-ceramide in the range of indicated concentrations (10～25 μmol/L) for 12 to 24 hours resulted in apoptosis in LoVo cells, whereas C2-dihydroceramide, which is similar to C2-ceramide in configuration but lacks the trans double bond at C4-C5 of the sphingoid base backbone, did not induce the apoptosis at the same or even higher concentrations, indicating that the ceramide-induced apoptosis was stereospecific. Moreover, the exogenous ceramide-induced apoptosis in LoVo cells was inhibited in part by PMA. Conclusion　Ceramide takes part in the process of apoptotic signal transduction in LoVo cells. PKC may be one of downstream target molecules acted by ceramide.

Purpose: To investigate the antitumor efficacy of intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA expressing mIL-12 in murine H22 liver tumor models grafted subcutaneously. Methods: Plasmid encoding mIL12 was constructed and examined the expression of cytokine in the eukaryotic cell through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The proliferation assay of T lymphoblasts was performed for measuring the biological activity of expressed mIL12. After intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA, mean diameters of the tumor mass and survival time were measured in each murine models group. Lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) assay was performed to examine whether or not treatment with different plasmid DNA could induce systemic cytolytic activity of lymphocytes against parental H22 cells. Histopathological analysis was operated after administration of plasmid DNA vectors in each murine model group. Results: Growth of liver tumor was significantly inhibited( F =4. 10, P =0. 03), and activity of CTL against H22 was enhanced in mIL12 gene therapy group as compared with the control group. In the focal treated with pDC511mIL12 plasmid DNA, inflammatory cell infiltration was more extensive and necrosis was more definite than control group at 1 month after DMA injection. Conclusions: Intra-tumoral administration of plasmid DNA encoding interleukin-12 could inhibit the growth of H22 liver tumor and induce the host antitumor immune response efficiently in the murine model.

Objective To explore the effect of Vitamin K1(Vit K1), fresh frozen plasma (plasma) andcryoprecipitate on prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen original(Fbg), thrombin time (TT) of newborns with different gestational ages. Methods The serum of 1,134 newbornsfrom The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University was collected from February 2009 to September2012. All newborns had been divided into four groups (according to the gestational age of 28-31+6 weeks, 32-33+6weeks, 34-36+6 weeks and gestational age≥37 weeks).The effect of various interventions (Vit K1, Vit K1+plasmaand Vit K1+cryoprecipitate) on PT, APTT, Fbg, and TT had been recorded. Results (1)The PT and APTT ofeach group with the interventions of Vit k1 were significantly improved (P < 0.05). (2)The PT, APTT, Fbg and TTof each group with the interventions of Vit k1 combined with plasma were significantly improved (P < 0.05). (3)ThePT, APTT and Fbg of each group with the interventions of Vit k1 combined with cryoprecipitate were significantlyimproved (P < 0.05). (4)With Vit k1 combined with plasma, PT and APTT were mostly improved and Fbg wasimproved mostly with Vit k1 combined with cryoprecipitate. Conclusion Vitamin K1, fresh frozen plasma andcryoprecipitate can effectively improvedin the coagulation index of newborns with different gestational ages.
