Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(22):-
This paper reviewed the present situation of acupoints and meridians issue from the angle of acupuncture and the infrasonic sound. Researches regarding the acupuncture process are studied from the angle of energy. The lifting-inserting method in acupuncture is considered as a way of inputting energy directly, and entwisting needle is considered as a way of inputting energy indirectly. As a result, the two ways caused meridian material (glue flexible body) oscillating. By the frequency of infrasonic wave, the energy is transmitted through the meridian lines, and the magnifying process is induced. Accordingly, the energy result of the body will be transmitted with acupuncture energy. At last, the dynamics equation and the energy equation analysis are given, from the angles of classic and modern physics, shows that the acupuncture function effect is the combined action effect produced by nervous system which stimulated by infrasonic sound energy.

Colorectal neoplasms always present with thickness of the intestinal wall or a soft tissue mass in the enteric cavity. Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) with high spatial resolution and advanced post-processing techniques can demonstrate the above signs of the tumor, and the invasive signs of adjacent structures and lymph node metastasis. Combined with three dimensional reformation images, MSCT shows a higher sensitivity than that of double contrast barium enema and electronic colonoscope. MSCT is promising in the diagnosis and preoperative evaluation of colorectal neoplasms.

Objective To investigate the role of the classification of Lauren in staging of gastric carcinoma and preoperative assessment using spiral CT. Methods Forty eight patients, 32 men and 16 women, who were 24~78 years old, with histologically and endoscopically proven gastric carcinoma, underwent spiral CT scans in prone position, with drug induced hypotonia and water filling. To induce gastric wall hypotonia and to maintain it during the entire examination, 10~15 mg of 654 2 was administered iv before basal scanning. All patinets underwent 2D, 3D and axial imaging using spiral CT, and 46 patients underwent dual phase contrast within one breathhold each. All patients with gastric carcinoma underwent staging and preoperative assessment by two radiologists according to the classification of Lauren. Results Spiral CT correctly detected all tumours. In our series, gastric carcinoma was of the diffuse type in 33 cases, of intestinal type in 15 cases; first stage in 2 cases, second stage in 18 cases, third stage in 15 cases and forth stage in 13 cases. There were 40 patients being performed operation, gastrectomy was performed in 33 patients and laparotomy was performed in 7 patients. The staging and preoperative assessment accuracy was 85.4% and 95.0% respectively, overstaging was 10.4%, and understaging was 4.2% according to the classification of Lauren. Correct rate of spiral CT detected lymph nodes (N1,N2) was 74.1% and 82.7% respectively. There are about 18 patienes whose arteries were invaded by tumors. With dual phase contrast, spiral CT can get well in detecting tumour, especially in staging gastric carcinoma in artery phase. Conclusions The classification of Lauren is recommended for staging of gastric carcinoma and preoperative assessment using spiral CT.

BACKGROUND:Enriching material for bone marrow stem cells is a current research hotspot. Preparation and screening of a new type of bone marrow stem cells-enriched material is crucial for the development of tissue engineering and clinical applications. OBJECTIVE:To observe the surface character and effect of a new type of bone marrow stem cells-enriched material on enriching bone marrow stem cells of decalcified bone matrix decorated with poly-L-lysine by selective cellretention technology. METHODS:Decalcified bone matrix was decorated with poly-L-lysine as the scaffold material. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were col ected by using selective cellretention technology. Control group was decalcified bone matrix and experimental groups were Decalcified bone matrix decorated with poly-L-lysine at different concentrations (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) with freeze-drying method. Material components were analyzed by Raman spectrum and infrared spectrum. Pore size, porosity, surface and cross section were observed under three-dimension video microscope and scanning electron microscope. The number of bone marrow nucleated cells, fibroblast colony-forming units and platelets were counted pre-and post-enrichment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Decalcified bone matrices were covered with wel-distributed and dense poly-L-lysine. The poly-L-lysine/decalcified bone matrix had a high porosity with much more internal y connected pores. After enrichment with enriched material prepared by 0.1%poly-L-lysine, the number of bone marrow nucleated cells, fibroblast colony-forming units and platelets were increased (3.18±0.31), (5.25±1.40) and (3.88±0.68) times, respectively;the binding efficiency were (53±12)%, (73±13)%and (34±10)%, respectively;the selective rate of fibroblast colony-forming units was 1.41±0.34. The new constructed poly-L-lysine/decalcified bone matrix has good three-dimension space with high selective retention. It is an effective enriching material for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of cardiovascular computed tomography angiography(CTA) in 128-slice DSCT with low tube voltage and low dosage contrast media in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods Forty patients with TOF were randomly divided into group A and group B by random number table method, patients in group A received a conventional scan with 80 kVp and contrast media of 1.2 ml/kg, patients in group B, 70 kVp and contrast media of 1.0 ml/kg were used. The injection time of the two groups were both fixed for 12 s. CT attenuation, image noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of ascending aorta, the main pulmonary artery, left ventricle and right ventricle were quantified. Radiation dose and volume of the contrast medium were recorded. Subjective image quality was assessed by two radiologists in consensus. The Student's t test was performed to analyse the differences between the two groups regarding CT attenuation, image noise, SNR, radiation dose and volume of the contrast medium. The image quality scores between the two groups were compared by using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results No significant difference was found in the attenuation, noise, SNR between the two groups in the same evaluated anatomic regions and no significant difference was found in the image quality. Effective dose (ED) was(0.17±0.05),(0.13±0.04)mSv respectively, there was significant reduction in group B than that in group A (t=2.48, P=0.019). The consumed iodine amount was(10.00±1.84),(8.29± 1.45) ml respectively, there was significant reduction between the two groups (t=2.89, P=0.007). Conclusions In children with TOF, the cardiovascular CTA with diagnostic quality can be adequately acquired with low tube voltage (70 kVp) and low concentration contrast media (1.0 ml/kg), there is significant reduction in radiation dose and contrast medium amount.
