Objective To investigate the change of S-100B in serum in rats at varions times after exposure to different whole-brain irradiation doses and to explore the characteristics of the S-100B change in early radiation-induced brain injuries. Methods A model of brain radlation-induced injuries was estabhshed in the rat after whole-brain irradiation with a single dose of 2, 10, or 30 Gy of 4 MeV electron. The concentration of S-100B in serum was detected by means of enzyme-linked immunoserbent assay (ELISA) at different time points (1,6,12,24,3 days, 1 week, 1 month) after exposure. Results In terms of measuring time points, the serum concentration in all groups reached the fwst peak 6 hours after irradiation, declined after 12 hours, rose again after 24 hours, and started to decline again until the last time point (1 month), with the exception of the 2 Gy group, which reached the second peak at 3 days after irradiation. Conclusions The S-100B serum concentration was changed in the rats after whale-brain irradiation and these changes are positively related to the irradiation amount. It seems that the higher the dose, the higher the serum concentration and the differences between the dose groups are significant (via multiple regression models). The S-100B may be a valuable serum marker for the brain irradiation injury.

Purpose: To study the treatment of metastasis of late digestive tract cancer?Methods:58 patients with late digestive tract cancer were divided into two groups. One group (reference group) of patients 28 cases were underwent chemotherapeutic treatment while another (treatment group) 30 cases were treated with DDP by CHPP. Results:Through DDP by CHPP (treatment group) the treatment show effectiveness as much 63.3% higher than that of reference group as 39.3%. This indicates the fact that there were significant differences between the groups ( P 0.05)Conclusions: DDP with Cisplatin by CHPP on patients with late digestive tract cancer, especially those patients followed by ascites, can evidently enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of central nervous system hemangioblastoma in von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.Methods The data of 10 patients with central nervous system hemangioblastoma in our hospital since 2013 were analyzed retro-spectively,and the clinicopathological features of central nervous system hemangioblastoma in von Hippel-Lindau syndrome were summarized. Results The macroexamination result showed that most tumor lesions were found in the cerebellum and medulla oblongata,with cystic chan-ges,size from 1 cm to 5 cm,the average size was (3.1 ±0.2)cm,clear boundary,intracapsular yellow cyst fluid.The microscopy result showed tumor foci with a rich blood supply,endothelial cell proliferation and hypertrophy in vascular,which arranged in nests or lobulated mesenchymal cells,the cytoplasm of stromal cells was abundant and lightly stained,a rich lipid was seen,with vesicular or foam.Conclusion The von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is usually cystic lesion,the microscopic examination shows tumor foci with rich blood supply,endothelial cell proliferation,hypertrophy and other changes in vascular.

The marrow stromal cells of adult New Zealand rabbits cultivated and induced in vitro were used to form MCCAB by mixing,seeding and solidifying methods with the aid of alginate. The MCCABs were auto-transplanted intramuscularly into the rabbits for 4 to 8 weeks. The alginate-cancellous bone matrix composites or the cancellous bone matrix alone were implanted as control. The effectiveness of bone formation was assessed by means of roentgenography and histology.The results showed that the osteogeneses of MCCABs were better than those of the alginate-cancellous bone matrix composites and of the cancellous bone matrix. In the MCCABs, both intramembranous and cartilaginous osteogenesis were seen with the former predominating. In the control, only slight cartilaginous osteogenesis was seen. The results suggested that the osteogenesis of the MCCABs constructed by using tissue engineering method was obvious when transplanted intramuscularly, therefore, this kind of tissue-engineered bone could be an effective way for clinical application.

To investigate the feasibility of using coral and other materials as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, coral, coral hydroxyapatite(CHA), cancellous bone matrix and other natural biomaterials served as culture scaffolds of osteoblasts were manufactured. The results showed, in addition to PLA, PGA, PLGA and other synthetic polymers, some natural biomaterials are also ideal scaffolds materials for bone tissue engineering.

ObjectiveTo assess whether intravenous contrast medium would result in acute kidney injury (AKI), and to determine the risk factors associated with contrast induced AKI (CI-AKI) and its outcome.Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted in intensive care unit (ICU) of Fuyang People's Hospital in Zhejiang Province from January 1st 2011 to December 31st 2014. All enrolled critically ill patients had accepted CT scan, and the hospital length of stay was longer than 48 hours, and the patients who needed renal replacement treatment were excluded. Patients were divided into contrast medium group and control group. AKI was defined according to Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria (serum creatinine content over 26.4μmol/L or 50% increase of it from baseline within 48 hours). The incidence of AKI was compared between the two groups, and risk factors for CI-AKI were determined by multiple logistic regression analysis. The relationship of CI-AKI and outcomes were also analyzed. Results A total of 2 370 critically ill patients were enrolled during the period. 474 (20.0%) of the 2 370 patients received contrast medium, and 70 of them suffered from CI-AKI (14.8%). In 1 896 patients who did not receive contrast medium, 235 of them suffered from AKI (12.4%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of AKI between two groups (χ2= 1.905,P = 0.168). After several confounding factors were adjusted, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that contrast medium was not found to associate with AKI in critically ill patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.66, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.72-3.90,P = 0.201], and high acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 1.33-2.40,P< 0.001), sepsis (OR= 8.06, 95%CI =3.28-17.80,P< 0.001), shock (OR= 3.57, 95%CI = 1.73-8.01,P< 0.001) and use of nephrotoxic agent (OR= 1.96, 95%CI = 1.25-2.63,P = 0.015) were risk factors of CI-AKI. Ten of 70 patients with CI-AKI died (14.3%), and 21 out of 404 patients without CI-AKI, died (5.2%). There was no significant difference in the mortality rate (χ2= 8.060, P = 0.005). It was shown by multiple logistic regression analysis that age (OR=1.30, 95%CI = 1.05-1.71,P = 0.027), male sex (OR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.05-1.20,P = 0.039), APACHEⅡscore (OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 1.03-1.18,P< 0.001), and sepsis (OR = 3.29, 95%CI = 1.92-6.46,P< 0.001) were highly associated with mortality of critically ill patients in whom contrast medium was used. However, the occurrence of CI-AKI showed no influence on the mortality rate (OR = 1.70, 95%CI = 0.88-3.56,P = 0.227).Conclusions The use of contrast medium is not a risk factor of CI-AKI in critically ill patients. CI-AKI will not raise mortality rate in ICU patients.

Objective To study the effects of irradiation-induced wt-p53 positive feedback circuit on cell life cycle,apoptosis rate and irradiation sensitivity of adenocarcinoma of lung in vitro.Methods The therapeutic group pE6R4-p53-EGFP/H1299 cells and the other 3 control groups H1299(p53-/-) ,pE6-p53EGFP/H1299 and pR4-p53-EGFP/H1299 cells were irradiated with 8-Mev electron beam generated by a linear accelerator at a dose rate of 400 cGy/min and a source-skin distance(SSD) of 100 cm,12 h exposure to irradiation.The cell life cycle and the rate of apoptosis were analyzed by FCM.Mean lethal dose(Do) and sensitive enhancement ratio(SER) index were calculated from the irradiation dose-survival curve.Results In 12 h post 4-Gy 8MV-X-ray irradiation,FCM analysis showed that most cells in therapeutic group were arrested at G0/G1 stage(75.13?1.42) %,compared with the 3 control groups(38.47?0.87) %,(62.57? 0.76) %and(51.23?2.41) %,respectively.After irradiation,the cell apoptotic rate in each group was higher than that in the cells without irradiation.The apoptotic rate in the therapeutic group was(23.73? 0.21) %,which was 5.69,1.51 and 2.57 folds respectively higher in the 3 control groups(4.17?0.12) %,(15.67?0.32) %and(9.23?0.15) %.Do values were 0.91,1.073 and 1.413 Gy respectively in pE6R4-p53-EGFP/H1299,pE6-p53-EGFP/H1299 and H1299 cells.The SER,derived from Do values,was 2.63 and 1.34,respectively.Conclusion Irradiation up-regulates wt-p53 gene expression,regulates cell cycle and induces cell apoptosis.Thus this positive feedback circuit increases the sensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma to irradiation.

Objective To investigate the best exposure condition for reducing the radiation dose of the chest radiography and obtaining the good quality of images. Methods With different tube voltage (kVp), tube current & time (mAs), and focus-film distance(FFD) adopted, X-ray detecting phantom was exposed by means of automatic exposure control(AEC). The dosage absorbed in skin was detected; Spatial resolution capacity, low contrast resolution capacity and low contrast sensitive degree were tested. The space and density resolution capacity were tested. The chest image quality was appraised by the way of visual observation and the measure of film density. Results The different kVp and FFD were related to the emitting skin dose (ESD), the higher kVp and the farther FFD follows the lower ESD; the higher or lower mAs has no effect on the image resolution capacity , but it had effect on image noise. The density value and seeing effect of chest film with low dose had reached good image density and needs of diagnostics. Conclusion Under the condition of 120 kVp high voltage, FFD150cm, AEC reduced density and adjusting to the processing parameters of the CR chest images, the radiation dosage of the chest computed radiography can be reduced efficiently and the good quality of images can be obtained.
