1.Application of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide in MRI diagnosis of central nervous system:recent progress
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1999;0(12):-
Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO),as the contrast agent of MRI,possesses two major properties:long half time in the plasma and specific binding with macrophages.Compared with gadolinium,widely-used in clinic presently,USPIO has its unique advantages in diagnosis of central nervous system diseases,though which still need further clinical verification.This article reviews the application of USPIO in MRI diagnosis of some central nervous system diseases.

At present,there is no unified standards of treatment in elderly advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),but to elderly patients with higher KPS scores,radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone has gradually become the main treatment measures.The concurrent chemoradiotherapy can benefit to part of the elderly patients,and it is worth further clinical research.Targeted therapy has exactly effect,and the adverse effect is mild,which provides a new treatment model for elderly advanced NSCLC patients.However,the hospital costs are relatively high,which can not be accepted by ordinary family.So targeted drugs and the model of combination treatment can not be applied extensively.

Objective To investigate the dynamic change of serum Hcy level in patients with non-small lung cancer when under-going chemotherapy,and to study the value of monitoring serum Hcy for chemotherapy efficieney in non-small-cell carcinoma.Meth-ods In our study,we enrolled 62 patients with non-small-cell carcinoma when undergoing chemotherapy.The concentrations of ho-mocysteine,carcino-embryonic antigen and cytokeratin 1 9 fragments were detected,and then these results were analyzed by statisti-cal methods.Results Compared with before treatment,the serum homocysteine,carcino-embryonic antigen and cytokeratin 1 9 frag-ments levels in patients who had effective response decreased.After 2 courses of chemotherapy,the levels of the three markers were significantly lower than those detected before chemotherapy (P <0.05).But at the end of the first course,the serum hcy level was significantly lower than that detected before chemotherapy.There was no significant difference in the levels of the serum three markers in non-responders between before and after chemotherapy (P >0.05).The positive rates of the three markers were statisti-cally significant between single lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the non-small-cell carcinoma.Conclusion The detection of the dynamic changes of serum Hcy in patients with non-small-cell carcinoma when undergoing chemotherapy is useful in evaluating the effect of chemotherapy and tumor activity.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of improved pleural biopsy combined with biomarker and cytology detection in pleural effusion of unknown origin.Methods The clinical data in 216 cases of pleural effusion were respectively analyzed including 106 cases of tuberculous pleural effusion(tuberculosis group) and 110 cases of malignant pleural effusion(malignant group).All cases were performed the improved pleural biopsy,cytology examination and detection of pleural effusion ADA,CEA and LDH,and serum CEA.The pleural biopsy diagnosis rate was performed the statistics,and pleural effusion ADA,CEA and LDH,serum CEA,and pleural effusion CEA/serum CEA were compared between the two groups.Results Among 216 cases,241 times of pleural biopsy puncture were conducted,the first time puncture success rate was 94.9 % (205/216).Having the diagnostic value among pathological results of pleural biopsy materials in first puncture success accounted for 58.8% (127/216),and the overall diagnosis rate was 65.3 % (141/216).The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 5.8 % (14/241).In the tuberculosis group,no case showed cytology tumor cell positive,while the cytology tumor cell positive rate in the malignant group was 54.5% (60/110);pleural effusion CEA and LDH,serum CEA and pleural effusion CEA / serum CEA levels and positive rates in the malignant group were significantly higher than those in the tuberculosis group,while the pleural effusion ADA level and positive rate were significantly lower than those in the tuberculosis group the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusion Improved pleural biopsy,pleural effusion cytology,pleural effusion biomarkers have a certain limitation in alone auxiliary diagnosis of pleural effusion.The various indicators can be combined to determine the etiology of pleural effusion in clinic for guiding treatment.

Objective To investigate the role of ECRG2,a novel tumor suppressor gene,in spindle assembly checkpoint. Methods Using siRNA approach to deplete the expression of ECRG2, using immunofluorescence to test the distribution of ECRG2,using Western blotting to examine the expression cell cycle proteins.Results ECRG2 localized to centrosomes during interphase and kinetochores during mitosis.Further analysis revealed that ECRG2 participates in the spindle assembly checkpoint.Depletion of ECRG2 abolished the spindle assembly checkpoint.Conclusion Our results indicated that ECRG2 is important for ensuring spindle assembly checkpoint,accurate chromosome segregation,and its depletion may contribute to chmmosome instability and aneuploidy in human cancers.

Objective To investigate the effects of capparis spinosa total alkaloid on the pathological changes and the type Ⅲ collagen(COL?Ⅲ)expression in systemic sclerosis(SSc)mice. Methods Mice models with SSc were established by repeated local injection of bleomycin in BALB/c mice back. After administration of capparis spinosa total alkaloid ,the pathological changes of skin and lung tissue were observed ,and the COL?Ⅲ expression was detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the model group,the inflammation and fibrosis of skin and lung tissue were improved,and the level of COL?Ⅲ was markedly reduced by treatment of high dose capparis spinosa total alkaloid(P<0.05). Conclusion Cap?paris spinosa total alkaloid is effective in treating fibrosis of SSc.

Objective The paper focused on teaching status of evening college among different ma-jors, and tried to provide data support and suggestion for teaching reform of evening college in medical university. Method Using methods of questionnaires and interviews, the investigators analyzed five aspects of students in Peking University Health Science Center, which were the influences on study from family and work, and the evaluation on teaching, etc. The investigators entered data with Epidata 3.1 software and de-scribed it with SPSS 20.0 statistical software, with which they also did chi-square and nonparametric rank sum test. Results 38.2% (63/165) of clinical medicine students, 45.8% (27/59) of laboratory medical sci-ence students and 43.0%(71/165) of nursing students regarded hard work and limited energy as their major difficulty from jobs. Limited time for study was treated as the biggest problem for students of clinical medicine (58.2%, 96/165), laboratory medical science (46.5%, 27/58) and nursing (66.5%, 105/158). 41.9%(70/167) of clinical medicine students tended to receive traditional face-to-face teaching; 39.0%(23/59) of laboratory medical science students preferred partial face-to-face teaching with partial network teaching; while 37.2% (68/183) of nursing students tended to partial face-to-face teaching with partial self-study. 58.4%(97/166) of clinical medicine students, 55.9%(33/59) of laboratory medical science students and 64 . 8% ( 118/182 ) of nursing students preferred examination of both memorization and application . Conclusion Results showed that students in different majors presented similar opinions on teaching status, but also with a few dif-ferences. There were the same characteristics between students of clinical medicine and nursing, both with high satisfaction. While students in the laboratory medical science showed the special characteristics, with low satisfaction.

Epigenetic mechanisms influence gene expression and function without modification of the base sequence of DNA and may generate a genetic phenotype.Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation,histone modifications,and deployment of noncoding RNA.There is growing evidence that epigenetic mechanisms could play a crucial role in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR).Molecular biological methods which could maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms may prevent the development of DR.Epigenetic-related treatment modalities will become the new direction of targeted therapy for DR.
