Objective To investigate the expression levels of Ezrin and AnnexinⅡ in gallbladder carci-noma and their association with clinicopathologic parameters and metastasis potential. Methods The tissue mi-croarray consisted of 59 gallbladder carcinoma tissues and 6 normal gallbladder tissues were examined for the ex-pression of Ezrin and AnnexinⅡusing immunohistochemistry technique. The expression of Ezrin and AnnexinⅡin 20 cases of fresh gallbladder carcinoma and 6 cases of normal gallbladder were measured with western blot. Results The expression of Ezrin and AnnexinⅡ were higher in the gallbladder cancer than those in the normal gallbladder tissue. The positive rate of Ezrin and AnnexinⅡ were 47.5% and 50.8% respectively. The expression of Ezrin was significantly correlated with live metastasis , lymph node metastasis and Nevin stages. The expression of AnnexinⅡwas significantly correlated with live metastasis , differentiation levels and Nevin stages. The expres-sion of Ezrin was correlated with AnnexinⅡ. Results of western blot suggested that Ezrin and Annexin II were highly expressed in gallbladder carcinoma tissues. The high expression of Ezrin and Annexin is closely related with liver invasion. Conclusion Measurement of the expression of Annexin and Ezrin II have important clinical significances to evaluate the malignant biological behavior of gallbladder carcinoma.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors and prevention measures of nosocomial infection in senile patients with hematologic disorders. Methods The clinical data of 581 senile patients with hematologic disorders from July 2005 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results The nosoeomial infection rate was 30.5%(177/581). The 581cases developed nosocomial infection for 254 times [43.7% (254/581)]. Lower respiratory tract infection was the most frequent infection site, followed by intestinal infection and upper respiratory infection. The species were predominated by Gram-negative bacillus (67.1%) . The risk factors of nosocomial infection were non-remission of malignant diseases,chronic underlying diseases, long time hospitaliation, community infection, granulocytopenia, invasive manipulation and application of adrenocortical hormone and antibiotic. Conclusions The nosoeomial infection rate is high in senile patients with hematologic disorders and it can be decreased by taking prevention measures according to the risk factors.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and optimized scanning parameter of 64-slice spiral CT in detection of pulmonary nodules with different size and density. Methods Three groups of prosthesis nodules with diameter of 2.5~13 mm and different density (soft-tissue, low density, and ground glass opacity,GGO)were taken into the chest phantom equivalent to human tissue,then scanned with Philips Brilliance 64 scanner in standard dose(tube voltage:120 kV, tube current: 250 mAs)and low-dose(tube voltage:120 kV, tube current: 50, 30,and 21mAs) respectively. The radiation dose(CTDIw and DLP) of the scans, Hounsfield unit(HU) and standard deviation(SD) of CT values in different regions of the phantom, and visibility of the nodules was assessed and recorded.Results The radiation dose of 64-slices spiral CT scanning in low-dose(tube current 21~51 mAs) decreased to 8%~20% of which scanning in standard-dose(250 mAs). There was no statistical difference between the CT values in different regions of the phantom (P>0.05), while the SD of CT values was of statistical significantce (P<0.001) and SD increased with the increment of the density under different scanning parameters. None of the nodules besides of GGO nodules with 2.5 mm and 4 mm in size scanned at 21 mAs was invisible. Conclusion GGO nodules of 2.5 mm in diameter can be detected with 64-slice spiral CT using 30 mAs at experimental study, which might be the optimized dose for detecting pulmonary nodules.

Objective To analyze the image noise and artifact of low-dose chest CT scanning and the distribution pattern. Methods A chest phantom equivalent to human tissue was scanned by 64 slices spiral scanner at standard dose (250 mAs) and low-dose (50, 30,and 21 mAs) respectively, HU in sites of the phantom and SD of which was recorded. 200 patients with pulmonary nodules were scanned at 30 or 21 mAs for minimal length. The relationship between severity of noise and artifact in chest low-dose CT scanning and gender or body mass index (BMI) of the patients, as well as the distribution of noise and artifact was evaluated. Results There was no statistical difference between the HU in sites of the phantom: lung (-777.3-- -758.2 HU, F=0.992, P<0.01), chest wall (107.9--111.3 HU, F=2.044, P>0.05), vertebra (835.6--875.3 HU, F=1.453, P>0.05), while the SD of which was of statistical signification: lung (9.5--29.0 HU, F=108.7, P<0.01), chest wall (10.1--32.4 HU, F=84.3, P<0.01), vertebra (19.2--57.1 HU, F=30.6, P<0.01),tbe SD increased with the decrease of the tube current. There was no statistical difference between male (in which 74 cases no or mild, 17 cases severe)and female (81 cases no or mild, and 28 cases severe)in image noise and artifact in low-dose images (X~2=2.294, P>0.05), and significant difference between groups of different BMI(in BMI<18.5 group, 29 cases no or mild,2 cases severe, in group of 18.5≤BMI<24.0, 120 cases no or mild, 13 cases severe, and in group of BMI≥24.0, 6 cases no or mild, 30 cases severe, X~2=128.274, P<0.01). The noise andartifact was greater in the upper (80 cases no or mild, 38 cases severe, X~2=18.918, P<0.01) and dorsal field (89 cases no or mild, 33 cases severe, X~2=6.760, P<0.05). Conclusions The image noise and artifact was significant in low-dose CT, especially in the dorsal and upper field of the lung, which might be attributed to the distribution of skeleton in the chest. It was recommended that scanning protocol (mAs value) be individualized adjusted in according to the patients BMI.
