Objective To evaluate the value of imaging investigations in the diagnosis of bone echinococcosis by analysing the X-ray,CT and MRI signs.Methods Imaging data of 7 patients aged from 23 to 56 years(mean age 39.5 years)with bone echinococcosis were analysed retrospectively.All cases underwent X-ray plain film examination(frontal view and lateral view);4 cases were examined with CT; 3 cases received MRI scan.Results The echinococcosis located in skull(1 case),vertebrae(3 cases), sacrum(1 case),ilium(1 case)and ribs(1 case)respectively.X-ray signs:5 cases appeared as expanding destructive lesion,two of them were solitary cystic lesions,the others were multiple cystic lesions. Lytic destruction was showed in 2 cases.Sclerotic margin,calcification,soft tissue mass was visible in 5, 1 and 4 cases respectively.CT signs:3 of 4 cases were expanding destructive lesions,including 2 multiple cystic lesions and 1 solitary cystic destruction.The other one showed lytic destruction.3 had sclerotic margin;calcification was identified in 2 cases,4 cases accompanied with soft tissue mass.MRI signs:All of 3 cases occurred at vertebrae,solitary cystic lesion in one and multiple cystic lesions in two.Lesions showed low signal on T_1 WI image,high signal on T_2 WI image and appeared as grape shapes.Involved vertebrae showed wedge-shaped.Conclusion Imaging modalities were significantly valuable in the diagnosis of bone echinococcosis.Combination of X-ray radiography,CT,MRI and epidemiological information is helpful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the bone echinococcosis.

Objective:To compare the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of rapid oral disintegrating tablet of dimenhydrinate(RODTD) and those of market available tablet of dimenhydrinate(DMH).Methods: Eight healthy volunteers were evenly randomized into 2 groups,one group received RODTD(25 mg) and the other received available market tablet of dimenhydrinate(25 mg).The blood levels of DMH were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) before and after drug administration in 2 groups.Chromatography conditions were: Nova-Pak C_(18)as chromatographic column, methanol triethylamine buffer((11),)flow rate: 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength: 225 nm,and room temperature.The pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of RODTD and market available tablets were investigated.Results: The standard curve of DMH in the blank plasma was linear within the range of 5-500 ng/ml,with the regression equation being C=0.004 4 A+4.745 and R~(2)=(0.996.)The limit of detection was 2 ng/ml;the average recovery rate was(90.55?4.69)% and the RSD was 0.041%.The intra-day derivations of 3 different concentrations(low,middle,and high) of plasma were 9.27%,4.93%,and 2.95%,respectively((n=5),) and the inter-day derivations were 9.97%,3.81%,and 3.06%,respectively(n=5).Blood samples(3 ml) were subjected to HPLC assay and significant difference was found between the 2 forms of DMH. The pharmacokinetic parameters of RODTD were: AUC=(602.04?113.82) ng?h?ml~(-1),C_(max)=(95.86?21.28) ng?ml~(-1),and T_(Peak)=(1.8?0.32) h;the pharmacokinetic parameters of market available tablets were:AUC=(342.73?84.96) ng?h?ml~(-1),C_(max)=((46.34?)(10.32)) ng?ml~(-1),and T_(Peak)=(2.65?0.24) h.Statistical analysis showed there was significant difference in the relative bioavailability of 2 forms of DMH(P

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2010;33(15):11-14
Objective To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia. Methods Fifty-five patients including 36 benign prostate hyperplasia patients and 19 prostate cancer patients,were performed with the scanning of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRS. MRI observation was focused on the size of the gland,the signal features, the location of the lesion and the extent of the tumor. MRS observation included the chemical shift of citrate(Cit), choline(Cho) and creatine(Cre) spectra, and the ratio of (Cho + Cre) /Cit SPSS 13.0 statistical analysis software was performed for statistic analysis of MRI,MRI + MRS in the diagnosis of prostate cancer to get the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy, respectively. Results Based on the analysis of MRI of prostate cancer and pathological findings, the diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of MRI were 78.9%( 15/19),66.7%(24/36),70.9%(39/55), respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of MRI + MRS were 84.2%(16/19),88.9%(32/36),87.3%(48/55),respectively. There was significant difference between the two methods (P<0.05). Conclusions MRS has made it possible to obtain functional and metabolic information about prostate cancer non-invasively. Combining MRI and MRS are useful for differentiating diagnosis of benign prostate hyperplasia from prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. It plays an important role in the development of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway in the pathological process of osteoarthritis. METHODS: An online search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for articles using keywords of “p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway, osteoarthritis, articular cartilage, chondrocyte” in Chinese and English, respectively. Relevant articles were summarized from three aspects of introduction of p38 signal transduction pathway, the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway in osteoarthritis and the inhibitor of p38 in osteoarthritis. A total of 90 articles were included. According to inclusion criteria, a number of 46 articles were retained at last. RESULES AND CONCLUSION: p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway has a close relation with chondrocyte hypertrophy and calcification, chondrocyte apoptosis, synthesis of cartilage matrix metal oproteinase, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and exerts a significant effect on the development of osteoarthritis. p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase is involved in the formation and development of osteoarthritis through a variety of complex mechanisms and plays a very important role. Therefore, blocking p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway may be a new target in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Objective Jizhipingchuan soft capsula is mainly used to treat acute bronchitis and acute attack of chronic bron-chitis.This paper investigate the antitussive, antiasthmatic and expectorant effects of Jizhipingchuan soft capsula according to its func-tions. Methods The antitussive effect of Jizhipingchuan soft capsula was observed in cough mouse model induced by ammonia and in guinea cough pig model induced by citric acid, and the latent period of asthma was observed in guinea pig induced by acetylcholine chloride and histamine phosphate.Its expectorant effect was evaluated by the excretion of phenol red in mice and the exudation phlegm in rats. Results Jizhipingchuan soft capsula could decrease the frequence of cough induced by ammonia in mice and induced by cit-ric acid in guinea pig.It could prolong the latent period of cough in guine pig and also prolong the latent period of asthma in guine pig induced by acetylcholine chloride and histamine phosphate.Jizhipingchuan soft capsula could significantly increase the amount of phe-nol red secreted in mice and the phlegm exudation of rats. Conclusion Jizhipingchuan soft capsula showed definite antitussive, an-tiasthmatic and expectorant effects.
