Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are common mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract.The results of computed tomography play important roles in the diagnosis,treatment planning and follow up of GISTs. From August 2007 to January 2012,28 patients with GISTs were admitted to the Henan Provincial People's Hospital. Sixteen tumors showed extra-luminal growth,4 showed intra-luminal growth,7 involved both intra- and extra-luminal growth,and 1 showed extra-gastrointestinal growth.After administration of contrast media,9 tumors demonstrated homogeneous enhancement,18 showed heterogeneous enhancement and 1 showed non-obvious enhancement.The enhancement of tumors in arterial and venous phase was 20 Hu higher than that in plain scan.Angiogenesis was displayed in 6 tumors,and feeding arteries were observed in 3 tumors.

Objective This study was to investigate the relation of nitric oxide synthase with cell proliferation and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The expression and localization of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and PCNA in 21 patients with HCC were studied by immunohistochemistry. Apoptotic cell in tissue section was detected by TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase [TdT] mediated desoxyuridinetriphosphate [dUTP] nick end labeling). Results The iNOS protein was markedly expressed in the liver tissue of hepatic cirrhosis or chronic liver hepatitis, which was close to tumor edge. Meanwhile it was weakly or undetectable in the liver tissue localized beyond 1.5 cm from the tumor edge. The iNOS protein was markedly expressed at the invasive tumor edge and HCC cells that invased into stroma, but it was weakly or undetectable at the most tumor core. The expression of iNOS was correlated with the proliferative activity of cells, and the number of apoptotic cells was correlated to the number of PCNA positive cells ( P

Objective To investigate the feasibility of achieving consistent image quality with dose reduction technology in lumber spine MSCT examination with Z-axis automatic tube current modulation (ATCM). Methods Forty-eight patients diagnosed as lumber intervertebral disc protrution scanned twice by MSCT before and after interventional operations with the same coverage from third lumbar vertebra to first sacral vertebra. The first scan (FM) was with fixed tube current of 320 mAs. The follow-up scan was with ATCM with noise index (NI) of 12.0 HU. At the levels of L3-4, L4-5 and 15-S1, image quality, image noise and radiation dose were measured and analyzed. Image quality and radiation dose were compared by paired t-test and the image noise was compared by ANOVA test. Results The dosage of the ATCM had a 31.3% reduction compared with FM, the average DLP was(187.9±66.4)mGy·cm and(273.4±45.4) mGy·cm respectively, where t = 8.205, P < 0.05. The average noise and their deviations for the FM group were (9.8±2.4) HU,(9.9±2.4) HU, and (11.5±3.2) HU at level of L3-4, L4-5, 15-S1, respectively. With ATCM, the average noise was(12.0±0.8) HU, (11.7±0.6) HU, and (11.7±1.4) HU, respectively. There was statistical difference between the two groups (F = 23.31, P < 0.05). The image quality scores for the FM group were (4.7±0.3), (4.5±0.2), (4.5±0.2) and showed no statistical difference to ATCM group (4.6±0.3), (4.5±0.2), (4.5±0.2) at level of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1, respectively, where t = 1.000, P > 0.050 Conclusion ATCM technique with the noise index setting at 12.0 HU can achieved a 31.3% dose reduction while keep the consistent image quality for lumbar spine MSCT study.

Objective: To investigate the changes of gallbadder motive function in diabetics. Method: The size of gnllbadder,recovering rate,echo and half-empty time after fat food were compared and statistically analyzed between 22 healthy individuals and 20 diabetics with ultrssonograph. Results:The gallbadder recovering rate was similar between the healthy individuals and diabetics (P>0.05), but the rate of cholecystitis (30%) and choletethiasis (35%) of diabetics were higher than those in healthy individuals, the gallbadder half-empty time after fat food was obviously slower in diabetics (46.1+12.9 min)than those healthy individuals (27+4.4 mmin). Conclusions: The diabetics had obvious gallbadder motive funciion obstruction and higher rates of chronic cholecystitis and choletethiasis with ultrasonograph observations.

Objective:To construct the yeast expressive vector of rmFⅦ, in which mFⅦ was mutated to inhibit coagulation without affecting the affinity for TF, and express it in Pichia pastoris. Methods:The full length cDNA encoding mFⅦ was amplified from a mouse liver by RT-PCR method, site-direct mutated and restriction enzyme digested as design. Cloning into pPIC9K, electroporation of Gs115, in vivo screen of multiple inserts by G418 resistance, BMGY/BMMY are used for induction and expression of rmFⅦ in pichia pastoris. These proteins were also screened for functional activity. Results: Three different rmFⅦ-pPIC9K yeast expression vectors and it's aim protein were obtained,two kinds of proteins were found to be functional active as design. Conclusion:rmFⅦ protein can be expressed in pichia pastoris and it might facilitate the development of tumor-target molecule, and novel anti-agiogenesis drug study.

Objective: To obtain ephedrine with porphyrin copper sodium from Herba Ephedrae. Methods: Application of ethanol to obtain ephedrine and porphyrin copper sodium from ephedra. The spoinfy reaction of porphyrin will take place, the integral ephedrine will turn into free ephedrine (dissolved in ether), when the liquor of ethanol of ethanol of ephedra are heated with NaOH. Using dimethylponyle to extract, the liquor will into two phases, one's (including sponify porphyrin) is water phase, the other's (including free ephedrine) is ether phase. Results: The yield proportion of ephedrine is 0.72%, and porphyrin copper sodium is 1.8%.Conclusion: It is practicable to extract porphyrin copper sodium with ephedrine from Herba Ephedrae.

Objective To summarize the experience on clinical diagnosis and treatment for cervical neurilemmoma. Methods The clinical data of 77 cases of cervical neurilemmoma from 1976 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The diagnosis was dependent on the anamnesis, clinical presentations, ultrasonography, CT and cytology of fine needle aspiration. Correct preoperative diagnosis was abtained in 51 cases (66. 2% ) , and the misdiagnosis rate was 33. 8% (26/77). All patients underwent surgical resection. The postoperative diagnosis was benign neurilemmoma by pathological examinations. The postoperative complications included recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries (6 cases) , Horner syndrome (4 cases) , tongue deviation (3 cases), neck pain or numbness (2 cases) and reffered pain in limb (1 case). Sixteen patients were followed up, and these symptomes disappeared after 3-11 months. Nerve dysfunction remained in 2 out of 3 patients in whom the vagus was wrongly amputated during the operation. Intraoperative inadvertent sympathetic nerve amputation caused permanent nerve dysfunction. Conclusion B-mode ultrasonography, CT and fine needle aspiration cytology are useful for the diagnosis of cervical neurilemmoma. Surgical resection is most effective among all available therapies.
