In order to observe the effects of the supernatant of WEHI-3 cell culture which contains IL-3 (interleukin 3), we have Performed some experiments by adding WEHI-3 supernatant to murine bone marrow cells culture. Cell culture of six days shows that the supernatant of WEHI-3 can promote adherence and proliferation of the stromal cells. There are 1.334?10~6 stromal cells/L in the culture which contained 20% WEHI-3 supernatant. Four kinds of stromal cells can be identified under both light microscope and SEM. Fibroblast-like cells which tend to be spindle-shaped with many filament-like and microvilli-like dendrites on the cell surface; Riticular-like cells which are irregular with some folds on the dendrites surface occasionally; Macrophage-like cells which are round with many phagocytic granules in the cytoplasm, and are characterized by positive ANAE staining, and many lamina-like folds and long filament-like dendrites on the cell sufrace; Fat cells are few in number, the cell body is ovoid with lipid droplet, and show strong cytoplasmic staining for Sudan black B, the cell surface is smooth. At the same time we have also observed the close contact between the hematopoietic cells and the stromal cells. In the culture without WEHI-3 supernatant, we have found few small adhered cells with less cytoplasm and weak enzyme activaties under light microscope, and with atrophied cell body and flat surface under SEM. The cell count of the stromal cells in normal culture is 58.83/mm~2. The results showed that WEHI-3 supernatant can promote the growth and proliferation of the stromal cells of murine bone marrow with some histochemical changes.

Objective To determine the diagnostic value and necessity of excretory phase of CT urogrphy (CTU). Methods One hundred and one cases with 197 sides of cohort CTU studies were enrolled from PACS system retrospectively, and 44 cases had the records of radiation dosage. Three different seniority senior radiologists reviewed the images and diagnosed 2 times blindly with the clinical information. At the first time, plane scan, contrast enhanced renal cortical phase and renal parenchymal phase images (Diag. A) were reviewed. At the second time, with 3 kinds of images mentioned above plus excretive phase images (Diag. B) were reviewed, with interval of 3 months between the two reviews. With Diag. B as reference standard, accordance rate of diagnoses of Diag. A was calculated. The difference of the 3 rediologists's accordance rates were analyzed with Chi-square test, and the lesions with accordance rate ≤80% were recorded. The cases of 197 urinary tracts were divided into 4 groups: lesions of renal pelvic and ureter, lesions of bladder, lesions of kidney and extra-urinary tract, without lesion. The filling of contrast media in the urinary tract was recorded with 5-scale scoring system. The differences of the urinary tract filling among the 4 groups were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test. The effective radiation dosages of CTU with and without excretory phase scan were recorded and calculated, and the difference was analyzed with t test. Result The diagnostic accordance rate of CTU with and without excretory phase of the 3 radiologists was 95.4%(188/197), 93.9%(185/197), 92.4%(182/197)respectively(χ2=1.60, P>0.05). Lesions with diagnostic rate≤80%were parapelvic cyst and caliceal diverticulum. The median score of urinary tracts filling in the lesions of renal pelvic and ureter, lesions of bladder, lesions of kidney and extra-urinary tract, without lesion group were 2, 3, 3, 4, and the differences were significant (HC=31.7, P<0.05). The effective radiation dosages of CTU with and without excretory phase scan were (32.36±11.04)mSv and (41.47±14.27) mSv respectively (t=3.35, P<0.01). Conclusions No significant effect of excretive phase imaging is found on the diagnosis of most urinary system diseases. Poor contrast filling and high rate of failure of filling of the urinary tract with intra luminal pathologies, and increase of the radiation dosage make the excretory phase scan in CTU less useful and it should be used carefully and selectively.

Objective To investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), demographic characteristics, and health behaviors of the Chinese elderly to find out high-risk population and behaviors. Methods Data was collected from a cross-sectional survey performed in Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu,Qinghai, Fujian, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangxi, and Henan province. MOS SF-36 was used for HRQOL assessment, t test was used for HRQOL comparison between the elderly and the general population. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the affecting factors. Results The HRQOL among the Chinese elderly were PF ( Physical Functioning) 79 ± 21, RP ( Role-Physical ) 68 ± 40, BP ( Bodily Pain) 72 ± 23, GH ( General Health) 57±22, VT ( Vitality ) 69 ± 20, SF ( Social Functioning) 79 ± 23, RE ( Role-Emotional ) 72 ±40, M H ( Mental Health)76 ± 18, which were lower than Sichuan Norm on 7 dimensions ( P < 0. 05 ; except on M H dimension) and lower than Hangzhou Norm on 5 dimensions (P < 0. 05 ;except on GH, VT, and MHdimensions). The important affecting factors included physical exercise, education level, medical history of chronic disease, age, race, marriage, body mass index ( BMI ), sleeping habits, and gender. Conclusions Compared with the general population, the HRQOL in the elderly might be lower. The health policy and community heahhcare services should focus on the elderly individuals with insufficient exercise, lower education level, chronic disease history, and ethnic minority, or widows. Health education should encourage them to improve physical exercise and sleeping behavior.
