1.Photoacoustic Tomography for Micro-blood Vessel
Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2010;27(1):1665-1667
Objectieve:In order to get the photoacoustic (PA) image of micro-blood vessel deep inside biological tissue.Materials and Methods:A 532nm pulse laser with the repetition rate of 10Hz was used as the pumping source.A wide band unfocused needle ultrasound transducer was used to collect time-domain PA signal of the tissue-mimicking phantom by circular scan.The 2D optical absorption image was reconstructed by time-domain spherical back projection algorithm.The spatial resolution was measured by line-spread-function(LSF).Results:The experimental results demonstrated that the spatial resolution was 0.1 mm and the PA image of the micro-vascular network agreed well with the tissue-mimicking phantom.Conclusion:The proposed method is valuable for the diagnosis of early cancer inside tissue.
2.Liver asialoglycoprotein receptor scintigraphy:a new prospect of segmentational three-dimensional evaluation of liver function
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(05):-
Asialoglycoprotein receptor(ASGPR) is a specific receptor of mammalian hepatocytes.Reduction in ASGPR concentration has been proven to appear in liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.By liver ASGPR scintigraphy with 99mTcGSA,some indexes such as HH15、LHL15、[R]_0、R_0 can be obtained,which is useful for the evaluation of liver function.When combining with the techniques of functional scintigraphy and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT),it becomes possible to functionally simulate the extension of hepatic resection and predict to some extent postoperative outcomes related to liver function.It is still a new professional field internationally,and almost absent domestically.It could be an important tool for quantificational evaluation of the risk of liver surgery and help determining the surgical procedures.We have here,with some of our research experiences in this field,written a review of ASGPR scintigraphy.
3.Diagnosis and Treatment for Simple Obesity in Childhood
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2004;0(11):-
There is no unity in judgment of obesity at home and abroad.WHO considered that there should have different evaluation criteria from childhood below and above 10 years and recommended "weight for height" be used for children under the age of 10 and body mass index(BMI)for children aged 10 to 24 years old.International Obesity Task Organization(IOTF) recommended BMI be suitable for young children for judgment overweight and obesity.Both of them had the same BMI standards for overweight and obesity for 18-year-old,25 and 30 kg/m2,respectively.But the Working Group on Obesity of China(WGOC)developed a criterion which cut-offs in 18 years were lower than that of WHO and IOTF,24 and 28 kg/m2,respectively.The treatment of obesity in childhood was different from that in adults.Many methods used for adults such as surgical liposuction,slimming drugs,hunger therapies and fasting could not be appropriate for childhood.A combined treatment in childhood including behavior modification,diet adjustment and exercise was recognized domestically and internationally.
4.Treatment of paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatinchemotherapy to the non-small cell lung cancer mouse model
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2017;37(9):1303-1307
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy to the transplanted non-small cell lung cancer of nude mice and the effect to the apoptosis protein expression of PDCD5 and XIAP with mice model.Methods A tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into blank group, normal saline group, oxaliplatin group, paclitaxel group, paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin group.The gene expression of PDCD5 and XIAP was assayed by real-time quantitative PCR(q-PCR).The apoptosis related PDCD5 and XIAP protein were detected by Western blot.Finally, the tumor weight of each group was measured for statistical analysis.ResultsThe mRNA expression of PDCD5 was highest and the gene expression of XIAP was lowest in paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin group(P<0.01).The expression of PDCD5 protein was highest and the expression of XIAP protein was lowest in paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin group (P<0.01).Finally, compare the tumor weight of each group, paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin group has the least mass(P<0.01).Conclusions Paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin group chemotherapy significantly increases PDCD5 expression and reduce XIAP expression.Meanwhile, paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin chemotherapy can significantly reduce the tumor weight of happened non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To improve the quality standard for Anweiyang capsules. Methods: TLC was used to identify Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat. Licochalcone A was determined by RP-HPLC. Using a C18 Column, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0. 1% phos-phoric acid(40:60), and the detection wavelength was at 376 nm. Results:The herb could be identified by TLC. For licochalcone A, the linear range was from 25. 563 to 1 533. 798 ng, and the average recovery was 99. 8%(n=9). Conclusion:The method is simple and accurate, which can be used to improve and control the quality of Anweiyang capsules.

Objective To understand the current status of advanced schistosomiasis patients, so as to provide the reference for improving the medical care of them in Shanggao County. Methods The data of advanced patients in Shanggao County were collected from the Information Management System for the Advanced Schistosomiasis Chemotherapy and Assistance in Jiangxi Province and a field survey including the epidemiological investigation physical examinations and B ultrasound examinations was performed in 2014. All the data were analyzed statistically and compared with those in 2010. Results Among the 128 ad?vanced schistosomiasis patients the male female ratio was 2.46 1 the average age was 68.02±6.19 years and the patients old?er than 65 years contributed to 64.84%for the all. The proportions of clinically types of ascites splenomegaly multiple granulo?ma in the colon dwarf general and haemorrhage were 57.81% 12.50% 2.34% 0 26.57% and 0.78% respectively. The ultrasound examinations revealed the average diameter of the main trunk of portal vein was 12.70 ± 1.91mm in 2014 which was significantly broader than that of 12.05 ± 0.34mm in 2010 P < 0.01 . Conclusions The advanced schistosomiasis patents in Shanggao County decreases with years and shows an aging trend. Some advanced schistosomiasis patients are worse therefore the chemotherapy and salvation work still should be strengthened.

Objective To explore the appearance of CT angiography(CTA)and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)in persis-tent carotid-basilar artery anastomoses,and discuss its clinical significance.Methods 1 7 patients of persistent carotid-basilar artery anastomoses diagnosed by CT and MR angiography were retrospectively reviewed.10 patients were examined by craniocervical CTA, 7 patients were examined by cranial and cervical MRA,and 3 patients were examined by CTA and MRA.Results 10 patients had persistent trigeminal arteries (PTA).Based on Saltzman type:6 cases were Saltzman type Ⅰ,2 cases were Saltzman typeⅡ,and 2 cases were Saltzman type Ⅲ.1 case of 3 persistent hypoglossal arteries(PHA)originated from the right carotid artery,and 2 cases originated from the left external carotid artery.2 cases of 4 proatlantal intersegmental artery(PIA)were right ipsilateral,and 2 cases were left ipsilateral.1 case of PTA and 1 case of PHA associated with an aneurysm.6 cases of PTA,2 cases of PHA and 1 case of PIA complicated with ipsilateral vertebral arteries artopied or hypoplasia of the contralateral vertebral artery.Conclusion CTA and MRA can demonstrate clearly the course of persistent carotid-basilar artery anastomoses and its complicating intracranial coexisting abnormalities.Diagnosis of this anatomic variation may be helpful for providing reliable data to the guidance of surgery and interven-tional treatment.

Objective: To investigate the impact of New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS)on rural resident’s medical burden. Methods: It investigates the survey data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey and employing difference-in-difference method based on the fixed effect model. Results: NCMS increases rural resident’s actual reimbursement rate, release the high health medical expenditure, but has limit impact on medical expenditure. The low-income group has greater risk on high medical expenditure. Conclusion: It is needed to improve the level of NCMS policy implementation; strengthen the supervision of designated medical institutions and increase policy support for low-income rural residents.
