Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2017;37(3):231-236
Objective To investigate the application value of sinogram affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE) algorithm in the coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA) with tri-low scheme (low tube voltage,low dose contrast agent,low flow rate injection) of the dual-source CT.Methods Totally 120 patients with body mass index (BMI) of 18.6 to 24.9 kg/m 2,heart rate < 65 b/min were selected continuously and the contrast agent iohexol (350 mgI/ml) was used.The patients were divided equally into two groups:FBP group,using 120 kV tube voltages,contrast media dose of 0.9 ml/kg,and injection rate of 5.0 ml/s to carry out prospective ECG-trigger scanning,and image reconstruction based on filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm;SAFIRE group,using 80 kV tube voltage,contrast media dosage 0.7 ml/kg,injection rate of 3.5 ml/s to carry out prospective ECG-trigger high-pitch scanning,and iterative reconstruction technique.CT values of enhanced images and noise of two groups of arterial lumen and left ventricular bottom muscle were measured,and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were calculated.The method of double blind was used to evaluate coronary artery in 4-point scale (1 =non-diagnostic).The average volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and the dose length product (DLP) for each patient were recorded and the effective radiation doses were calculated.Results The difference in the CT values,image noise,SNR,CNR between the two groups was not statistically significantly(P > 0.05).The effective dose in SAFIRE group was (0.39 ± 0.02) mSv significantly lower than that in FBP group of (4.99 ± 1.36) mSv (t =26.31,P<0.01).Conclusions For the patients with body mass index (BMI) 18.6 to 24.9 kg/m2,HR < 65 b/min,the application of prospective ECG-trigger high pitch tri-low scheme combined with the iterative reconstruction algorithm in dual-source CT coronary angiography,can obtain the qualified image with lower radiation dose.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;30(1):16-19
Objective To investigate the status of AmpC β-lactamase and extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) production and drug-resistance characteristic of Enterobacter cloacae.Methods Enterobacter cloacae was isolated and cultured from variety of specimens from April 2005 to July 2007. VITEK32 automatic microbial analytical system was applied to performing identification of bacteria and susceptibility test. ESBLs were confirmed by NCCLS double disc assay, and three-dimensional test was used to detect AmpC.Results A total of 63 strains of Enterobacter cloacae were isolated, including 13(20.6%) single AmpC producing strains, 24(31.8%) single ESBLs producing strains, 6(9.5%) both AmpC and ESBLs producing strains, and 20(38.1%) neither AmpC nor ESBLs producing strains. The resistance of lactamases producing strains was significantly higher than that of lactamases non-producing ones. Especially in both AmpC and ESBLs producing strains, the drug resistance was serous.Conclusion The prevalence of AmpC β-lactamases and/or ESBLs producing strains is a higher level in Fuyang area. The drug resistance of AmpC β-lactamases producing Enterobacter cloacae isn′t identical to that of ESBLs producing one. Different categories of antibacterials should be chosen according to the different types of producing lactamases.

Because of the close relationship with stomach cancer and higher rates of carcinoma, gastric epithelial dysplasia associated with chronic atrophic gastritis is considered the most important precancerous lesion of stomach cancer. Due to the absence of recognized treatment methods, periodical follow-up and monitoring were considered an effective method to prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer. Currently, there are numerous areas requiring attention; the authors provide some suggestions on the recognition and key technologies for follow-up and re-examination.

Aim To investigate the protective effect and the underline mechanisms of total flavonoids from Sorbus Tianschanica L leaf (TFST) against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods The I/R injury model of rat isolated heart was prepared by improved Langendorff retrograde perfusion method.Following the treatment,the coronary blood flow levels (CF),left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and maximal rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dt_(max)) were monitored as the myocardial function.The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in myocardial tissue were measured by the commercial kits. The in vitro anti-oxidative capacity of TFST was detected by the DPPH and lipid peroxidation reaction system.Results Compared with I/R injury group, pre-incubation with TFST (6.0 mg·L~(-1)) significantly improved the LVDP,±dp/dt_(max) and CF during reperfusion. TFST (6.0 mg·L~(-1)) treatment significantly increased the SOD activities and reduced the MDA levels in myocardium tissue.Moreover,TFST (from 6.25 to 100.0 mg·L~(-1)) scavenged the DPPH, hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion free radicals, and inhibited the lipid peroxidation reaction in a concentration-dependent way.Conclusions All the results demonstrate that TFST possesses the cardioprotective effect on ischemia/reperfusion injury.This efficacy may be due to its antioxidative activity.

Objectives To investigate the prenatal diagnosis method of spinal muscular atrophy with amniotic fluid sample.Methods Totally 1 064 amniotic fluid samples from mid-trimester pregnant women were enrolled during January 2015 and January 2016 in 4 hospitals.Genetic analysis was performed for detecting potential contamination of maternal tissue by a genetic technique based on short tandem repeat ( STR) markers.Deletion of SMN1 gene was detected in 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples by real-time PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification ( MLPA) respectively.Results Two contaminated amniotic fluid samples were detected within 1 064 mid-trimester pregnant women by STR genotyping.The other 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples were tested by real-time PCR.There were 37 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 7 of SMN1 gene ( 3.67%) , 34 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 8 of SMN1 gene (3.2%) and two samples with homozygous deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 of SMN1 gene ( 0.19%) respectively , while other samples observed with no deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 in SMN1 gene.Totally 41 samples with heterozygous or homozygous deletion of SMN 1 gene and 55 samples with undetected deletion of SMN 1 gene were confirmed by MLPA and the results showed 100%consistence with that of real-time PCR.Conclusions Both real-time PCR and MLPA are suitable for detecting the deletion of SMN 1 gene with amniotic fluid sample . Real-time PCR exhibits less sample requirement and time compared with MLPA .
