Purpose　To evaluate the clinical safety of ionic contrast media made in china and compare with nonionic contrast media being imported. Methods　Among contrast-enhanced CT 1096 cases, 76% meglumine diatrizoate were administed in 864 cases and ultravist in 232 cases , comparative studies on adverse drug reactions(ADRs) and image quality were performed. Results　In 76% meglumine diatrizoate group , the prevalence of overall and mild -middle ADRs was higher than in the ultravist group , the prevalence of severe and potentially life-threatening ADRs was approximate in the ultravist group , the image quality was well than in the ultravist group.Preventive inoculation alleviated ADRs at all levels. Conclusion　Ionic contrast media made in china was safe and effective in patients without hyperthyroidism after preventive inoculation.

Purpose:To compare with the efficacy in the immediate effects and toxicities on patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) combined with oxaliplatin or paclitaxel. Methods:Forty patients with advanced gastric cancer, whose metastases to organs or sites included liver, lymphy node, abdominal cavity, abdominal wall, etc, were enrolled in this study, and was randomly divided into two groups (A and B groups). The A group of 20 patients (70% of them were retreated patients) were treated with a combination of oxaliplatin, leucovorin(LV) and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) continuous infusion regimen. The B group of 20 patients (55% of them were retreated patients) were treated with a combination of paclitaxel, leucovorin (LV) and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) continuous infusion regimen. Results:Of the 40 evaluable patients, there were two complete responses and seven partial responses (response rate 45%) in the A group, and nine partial responses (response rate 45%) in the B group. All patients were evaluable for toxicities. The most common toxicities were bone marrow depression,peripheral neuropathy,digestive tract toxicities and liver function damage in the A group. The most common toxicities were bone marrow depression and liver function damage in the B group. Conclusions:These two regimens (5-fluorouracil and lcucovorin combined with oxaliplatin or paclitaxel) showed good efficacy and acceptable toxicities in advanced gastric cancer patients, and the 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin combined with oxaliplatin regimen may have some virtues, such as economics, convenience of medication and less serious toxicities.[

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of TNM staging of gastric carcinoma with triphase incremental helical CT.Methods Triphase incremental helical CT of the stomach with water-filling method were performed in 101 patients with gastric carcinoma.Results (1)The accuracy of T-staging,N-staging and TNM staging was 81.8%,72.9% and 80.2% respectively.(2)Demonstrating multilayered structure of the normal gastric wall in the arterial parenchymal-phase was advantageous to improve the accuracy of estimating the depth of tumor invasion (?

Objective To investigate the best time of the mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) transplantation after myocardial infarction(MI),in order to provide prophase experimental basis for treatment of the diseases correlating to cadiocyte necrosis by cells transplantation.Methods Thirty New Zealand big-ears albino rabbits,which aging were older than or equal to 36 months were selected(a 36-month rabbit is the advanced age rabbit,equaling a person 60 years old).Model of MI was made by ligating anterior descending branch.The model rabbits were randomly divided into six groups(control group,1 d group,1-week group,2-week group,3-week group;and 4-week group,n=5).200 ?L cells after marked were drawed and injected in multiple positions of myocardium after MI in 1 d group,1-week group,2-week group,3-week group and 4-week group separately.The rabbits in control group were injected with saline of equal quantity.The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics at eighth week in various groups were measured.Results Compared with control group,the treatment of MSCs transplantation for MI improved the heart function.The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics in 1 d group was higher than those in control group(P0.05).The cardiac functional parameters,blood flow rate of atrioventricular valve and the hemodynamics in 1-week,2-weeks and 3-weeks groups were better than those in 1 d group(P0.05).Conclusion In the condition of the same cell-density but the different time of MI,the transplantation time window is 1 d-3 weeks after MI,which is advantageous to the amelioration of heart function,the best time of transplantation was 1-3 weeks after MI.

Objective To detect the expressions of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) of peripheral whole blood in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and investigate the potential roles of the miRNAs as diagnostic bi omarkers for Alzheimer's disease.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 110 AD patients and 150 age-and gender-matched normal controls.The concentrations of seven candidate miRNAs,including miR-9,miR-29a,miR-29b,miR-101,miR-181c,miR-137and miR-126,were measured with a real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method.The data of two groups were collected and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software.Results It was found that miR-29a (P=1.12×10-5) and miR-101 (P=6.24× 10-7) were markedly down-regulated in peripheral blood of AD patients compared with normal controls.In addition,logistic regression analysis revealed peripheral whole blood miR-29a/101 combination could be a potential biomarker of AD with better specificity (82％) and sensitivity (75％).Conclusions miR-29a/101 combination in peripheral whole blood may serve as a useful noninvasive diagnostic biomarker for AD.

Objective To improve the success rate of insertion of gastric lavage canal in patientswith tracheal intubation. Methods 70 patients with organophosphoms pesticide intoxication who neededgastric lavage after tracheal intubation were randomized into the test group and the control group, 35 easesin each. In test group, lavage canal was inserted through bite block orally and the bedside was raised till 70to 80 in angle. While in the control group, lavage canal was inserted directly through mouth with the posi-tion of hypsokinesis. The success rate of intubation was compared between the two groups. Results One-time success rate was 94.2% in the test group,which was statistically different from that of the control group(37.1%), P < 0.01. The complication of intubation in the test group was also lower than that of the controlgroup,which had statistical difference. Conclusions Through improvement of position to raise the bedsidetill 70 to 80 in angle, the insertion of gastric lavage canal through bite block orally was much better than thenormal one and it is worth applying.

Objective To investigate the optimal time of termination of pregnancy for patients with hemolysis elevated liver enzymes and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome Methods 57 patients with HELLP syndrome admitted from October 1992 to September 2001 were enrolled According to the length from the time diagnoses confirmed to the time of delivery,patients were divided into 3 groups; group Ⅰ,within 24 hours, group Ⅱ,24 to 48 hours and group Ⅲ,over 48 hours Complications,maternal and perinatal mortality were analyzed retrospectively between different groups Results Maternal and perinatal mortality were 7% and 11% in group Ⅰ, 16% and 21% in group Ⅱ, 64% and 73% in group Ⅲ with significant differences between group Ⅲ and group Ⅰ or group Ⅲ and group Ⅱ ( P

Objective To investigate CT findings in gastric stromal tumors(GST).Methods Both plain and enhanced spiral CT findings in 46 cases with gastric stromal tumor were retrospectively analyzed.In all patients,diagnosis was confirmed with immunohistochemical markers.CT features were retrospectively studied and summarized.Statistical analysis of the shape,growth pattern,necrosis and enhancement patterns was performed with X2 test in 43 cases with single gastric stromal tumor.Results Of the 46 GST patients,43 patients had single GST and multiple GST was detected in 3 cases.In the 43 cases with single GST,tumors were found in the gastric body in 24 cases,gastric fundus in 16 cases,and in the gastric antrum in 3 cases.GST mostly grow along the vertical plane of gastric wall,with a large size but local attachment.The tumor size was less than 5era in diameter in 14 cases.Of them,ten cases had a regular shape,10 cases showed homogeneous enhancement,and 4 cases exhibited central necrosis,7 tumors showed intra-luminal growth and 5 tumors showed extra-luminal growth,while the other 2 cases involved both intra and extra lumina.Twenty-nine cases had tumors larger than 5cm in diameter.Of them,24 cases had irregular shape,27 cases showed inhomogeneous enhancement,24 cases had central necrosis,5 tumors showed intra-luminal growth and 9 tumors showed extra-luminal growth,while 15 cases involved both intra and extra lumina.The tumor size of GST closely was related to the shape,growth pattern,necrosis and the inhomogeneous enhancement patterns of the GST(P<0.05).The enhancement of the tumor was more intense in venous phase and delayed phase.Five cases showed septal enhancement,4 tumors exhibited marked enhancement in arterial phase with up to 60 HU.Conclusions CT can precisely display the location,shape and size of gastric stromal tumors.It is very helpful to provide useful information for early diagnosis and evaluation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of quercetin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cell line MGC-803.METHODS:MTT assay was adopted to measure the effect of quercetin at different concentrations on the proliferation of MGC-803 cells.Cell apoptosis index(AI)induced by quercetin was measured by TUNEL assay.RESULTS: Quercetin at a certain concentration from 40?mol/L to 100?mol/L could successfully inhibit the proliferation of MGC-803 cells in a dose-dependent manner.TUNEL assay indicated that apoptosis cells induced by quercetin in treatment group were much more than that in control group after 48 hours(P
