Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1981;0(06):-
This paper deals with preventive effect of scopo-lamine hydrobromide in glycerin induced acute re-nal failure in rabbits. 24 hours after glycerin injection, the renal flow of controls was reduced 65%, while that of animals which received scopolamine was only reduced 33.5%. The level of angiotensin Ⅱ in the controls was increased during ARF, while that of the test group was not significantly higher than normal 24 hours after ARF. The results of FENa and RFI determination demonstrated that the drug had protective effect on the tubular Na reabsorption function.

Computer-aided detection (CAD) of pulmonary nodule technology can effectively assist the radiologist to enhance lung nodule detection efficiency and accuracy rate, so it can lay the foundation for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. In order to provide reference for the scholars and to develop the CAD technology, we in this paper review the technology research and development of CAD of the pulmonary nodules which is based on CT image in recent years both home and abroad. At the same time, we also analyse the advantages and shortcomings of different methods. Then we present the improvement direction for reference. According to the literature in recent years, there still has been large development space in CAD technology for pulmonary nodules. The establishment and improvement of the CAD system in each step would be of great scientific value.

Objective: To investigate expression of TRAP in human tumors and correlativity between TRAP and hTERT and to explore the role of TRAP in tumorigenesis. Methods: TRAP was expressed in E.coli . and polyclonal antibody was prepared by immunization of New Zealand rabbits. Expressions of TRAP gene and hTERT in human tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The eukaryotic expression vectors of TRAP were constructed and transferred stably into HeLa cells to be analysed with Northern blot, TRAP PCR ELISA, growth curve, nude mouse transplantation. Results: Polyclonal antibody was obtained from New Zealand rabbits immunized with TRAP fuse protein, which was inducibly expressed in E.coli ., and its specificity was verified in Western blot. TRAP staining was detected in 213 (86.2%)of 247 malignant tumors. On the contrary, TRAP in all tissues adjacent to tumors was negative.There is a obvious difference between borderline,pre cancerous and benign lesion in the expression of TRAP.Furthermore, hTERT staining was conducted and its result was consistent with that of TRAP. Up regulation and down regulation of hTERT expression and telomerase activity were observed respectively in HeLa cells transfected stably with sense and antisence TRAP recombination. Increased proliferation presented in the former and growth inhibition in the latter. Besides, in nude mice, tumorigenecity of sense TRAP transfected HeLa cells was enhanced while tumor growth of antisense TRAP transfected HeLa cells was retarded. Conclusion: The expression of TRAP, which could be detected in most of human cancers and part of pre cancerous lesions, was correlated with expression of hTERT. The status of TRAP expression could regulate telomerase activity and present effects on growth and tumorigeneity of cancer cells. This suggests that TRAP is involved in human tumorigenesis through regulation of telermarase activity.

Objective To study the value of renal CT scan in evaluating split renal function.Methods 147 patients undergone CT scan from June 2009 to June 2011 were involved in this study.There were 73 cases of obstructive hydronephrosis and 74 cases of renal tumors.66 patients were males and 81 were females with a mean age of 53 years ( range 17 - 87 years).GFR detected by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used as the reference of split renal function.The kidneys were divided into 3 groups according to the GFR:normal renal function (113 cases,GFR ≥ 34 ml/min),mildly impaired renal function (66 cases,GFR:20 -34 ml/min) and severely impaired renal function (41 cases,GFR <20 ml/min).One-way ANOVA and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between the results of CT scan and split renal functions. Results There were significant differences in the cortical thickness among the normal renal function,mildly impaired renal function and severely impaired renal function groups.The cortical thicknesses were (0.62 ±0.11) cm,(0.45 ±0.10) cm and (0.26 ±0.07) cm,respectively (P < 0.01 ).The renal cortical thickness was strongly correlated with GFR (r =0.806,P <0.01 ).There were significant differences in the enhancement during the cortical phase among the 3 groups,which were (162.1 ±25.3) HU,(121.6 ±21.0) HU and (63.5 ±20.0) HU,respectively (P<0.01).The enhancement during the cortical phase was strongly correlated with the GFR (r =0.851,P < 0.01 ).The enhancement during the parenchymal phase and excretory phase was moderately correlated with the GFR ( r =0.467 and r =0.451,P < 0.01 ). Conclusions The renal cortical tbickness and the enhancement during the cortical phase detected by CT scan might be useful for the clinical evaluation of split renal function.

Reverse genetics approaches can directly manipulate the genome of virus at the gene level, making it possible to quickly, directly and thoroughly study the mechanisms of virus replication and pathogenesis. At present, many viruses of the family Reoviridae, such as mammalian orthoreovirus ( MRV) and bluetongue virus ( BTV) , have made great progress in basic viral research using the powerful tool of re-verse genetics. However, for members of the genus Rotavirus in the family Reoviridae, progress in the con-struction of reverse genetic systems has been slow. The remarkable reverse genetics system based on helper-viruses was established in 2006, and it was not until 2017 that the entirely plasmid-based reverse genetics system was successfully established. This paper briefly reviewed the development of reverse genetics systems for rotavirus and prospected the direction for future research in order to provide technical support for acceler-ating the basic research on mechanisms of rotavirus infection.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of normotensive pheochromocyto-ma. Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with normotensive pheochromocytoma were reviewed. Inclusion criteria for normotensive pheochromocytoma were no previous history of hypertension and episode of symptoms suggesting high blood pressure. The blood pressure on admission was 90-130/ 60-90 mm Hg with an average of 113/72 mm Hg. Seven patients were found adrenal mass by routine ultrasonic examination. Twelve patients presented with superior abdominal or flank pain. Four pa-tients were present with fatigue, and 2 patients had fever. Headache and palpitation were found in 1 patient. Most of patients were present with large and round mass with low density area in the center of the tumor by uhrosonography and CT. Four patients had elevated level of plasma epinephrine and nor-epinephrine. 24 hours urine CA and VMA were elevated in 5 and 4 patients respectively. Seven pa-tients were prepared with infusion preoperatively to expand intravascular volume, and 2 patients were given prazosin 1.5 mg/d for 5 to 7 days. Results During the operation, seventeen patients had ele-vated blood pressure and 5 patients had no changed. One of seven patients with preoperative prepara-tion had obvious hypertension during operation, and 11 of 15 patients without preoperative preparation had obvious hypertension. The tumors were removed successfully in 21 patients. All the patients were diagnosed pheochromocytoma pathologically. Twenty-one patients had normal blood pressure with no recurrence during the follow-up from 1 month to 7 years. Conclusions The patients with normotensive pheochromocytomas may have lower catecholamine in their plasma and urine. The application of α-blockers and the expanding intravascular volume before operation could be important for the patients safe.
