Objective To study the way of measurement of both the thoracic width and height by roentgenography and its clinical significance.Methods The thoracic width and height in 158 healthy people and 30 cases with emphysema on chest plain X-ray films were measured and analysed statistically.The relationship among the width and height of the chest,height and weight of body in healthy people were studied.Results In normal group,the thoracic width and height were 26.59 cm and 23.84 cm in men,24.8 cm and 21.6 cm in women in average,respectively.In emphysema group,the average thoracic width and height were more than 27 cm and 26 cm in men,25 cm and 24 cm in women,respectively.The formulas calculated thoracic width and height relevant to height of body were 10.9403+0.0951 ?height of body and -0.6381+0.1462 ?height of body in men,11.0605+0.0864 ?height of body and -8.6428+0.1907?height of body in women normally.Therefore,the possibility of prompting emphysema was present when the thoracic width and height were more than 1 cm and 3 cm according to above calculating formulas.Conclusion The data of the calculated thoracic width and height based on the formulas mentioned adove are of significant value for diagnosing emphysema with imaging.

0.05).The comparison of operating time and hospital stay was not performed due to insufficient data.Conclusion:Relative small J-pouch and straight anastomos is provided similar early results after low anterior resection.Both of these methods were proved to be safe and effective.

Objective: To investigate the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH-2) for regulating human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) oxidative stress reaction and its mechanism. Methods: Human EPCs were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy adults and the cells were cultured in 4 groups:①Blank control group,②Alda-1 group, the cells were treated by 1μmol/L Alda-1, a speciifc activator of ALDH-2,③tBHP (10μg/ml) group and④Alda-1 pretreatment+tBHP group. EPCs reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were evaluated by DCFH-DA staining, mitochondrial membrane potentials were detected by JC-1 method, migration capacity was measured by transwell chamber method and the activation of p38 signal pathway was examined by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with Blank control group, ROS levels in tBHP group and Alda-1 pretreatment+tBHP group were (441.7 ± 24.8) % and (237.4 ± 12.0) %, allP<0.05. In Blank control group, tBHP group and Alda-1 pretreatment+tBHP group, the proportion of EPCs lost their mitochondrial membrane potentials were (5.7 ± 2.1) %, (81.7 ± 3.7) % and (37.4 ± 3.2) % respectively, allP<0.05; the number of EPCs migration were (108 ± 9)/HP, (22 ± 4)/HP and (67 ± 7)/HP respectively, allP<0.05. Compared with Blank control group, the activation of p38 signal pathway increased to (259.1 ± 7.7) % in tBHP group, while it was reduced to (186.4 ± 8.0) % in Alda-1 pretreatment+tBHP group. Conclusion: ALDH-2 could reduce ROS level in human EPCs, it may decrease mitochondrial membrane damage, protect migration which might be related to p38 signal pathway.

Object The quality of Panax quinquefolius L from different origins were assessed in accordance with the contents of total ginsenoside and ginsenoide Rb 1 of them Methods The contents of total ginsenoside were determined by UV spectrophotometry, and the contents of ginsenoside Rb 1 were determined by HPLC Results Among the seven commercially available samples, the sample from Canada gave the highest content of total ginsenoside and ginsenoside Rb 1, the second is the samples from Huairou, Beijing, China. Conclusion Contents of total ginsenoside of all the seven samples are more than 4%, while content's of ginsenoside Rb 1 are more than 1%. And the more content of total ginsenoside is, the more content of ginsenoside Rb 1 is

Objective To investigate the optimal time points for transplantation with in vitro cultured dopaminergic neurons as a potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Methods After the ventral mesencephalic precursors from E11 rat embryos were expanded for 7 days in vitro, they were harvested respectively from day 0 to day 7 in the period of induced differentiation. Then the cells were seeded again and cultured for another 7 days. The final survival of dopaminergic neurons determined the optimal time points for moving cells in vitro and, possibly, for transplantation in vivo. Result The survival rate of dopaminergic neurons moved on day 0 and day 1 in the period of induced differentiation was significantly higher than that at other time points. Conclusion The optimal time points for transplantation are found possibly to be day 0 and day 1 in the period of differentiation after the expansion of ventral mesencephalic precursors from E11 rat embryos.

Total 118 patients with pyogenic liver abscess admitted to Zhongshan Hospital were classified into pypgenic liver abscesses of cryptogenic origin (PLAC,n =54),pyogenic liver abscesses of biliary origin (PLAB,n =48) and pyogenic liver abscesses of hemagenous origin (PLAH,n =16)according to the causes.The clinical features of three groups were compared and analyzed.The results showed that no statistically significant difference existed among three groups in clinical manifestation and signs.Compared to PLAB,the abscesses in right lobe of liver were more common in PLAC,diabetes mellitus was more prevalent in PLAC,but the co-existing diseases including chronic liver disease,non biliary malignant tumor and ALP elevation were less in PLAC.Klebsiella pneumoniae was frequently detected in PLAC,but there was no significant difference comparing to other two groups.No significant difference was found among three groups in the choice of therapeutic methods,the course of antibiotics,length of hospital stay and the days from admission to diagnosis.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of ultrasonic microbubble combined with bevacizumab (Avastin) on choroidal neovascularization induced by photocoagulation in rabbits.Methods CNV was induced by photocoagulation with argon laser in 30 rabbits (60 eyes).All of the rabbits underwent fundus fluorecein angiography (FFA) 21 days after photocoagulation;6-8 hours later,3 rabbits were randomly chosen to be executed to having the immunohistochemical examination.Twenty-one days after photocoagulation,27 rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups:bevacizumb,ultrasonic microbubble+bevacizumb,and control group;each group has 9 rabbits (18 eyes).The rabbits in control group had no interference treatment;while the rats in bevacizumb and ultrasonic microbubble+bevacizumb group underwent injection with bevacizumb or ultrasonic microbubble+bevacizumb respectively.FFA was performed on all of the rabbits 7,14,and 28 days after photocoagulation to observe the inhibition of CNV;immunofluorecence and Western blot were used to detect the expression of VEGF in retina and choroid.Twenty-eight days is the time point to determine the therapeutic efficacy.The expression of VEGF and the results of FFA were the sdandards of the judgement of therapeutic efficacy.Results Proliferaion of CNV to the retinal inner layer and the obvious leakage of fluoresein in the photocoagulation area indicated that the model of CNV was set up successfully.Twenty-eight days after injection,obvious fluorescent leakage was found in the control group,and the average fluorescent leakage in bevacizumab group differed much from the control group(t=16.2952,P<0.05);while the difference between ultrasonic microbubble+bevacizumb group and bevacizumab group was also significant (t=4.7955,P<0.05).At the same time point,the expression of VEGF in bevacizumab group detected by immunofluorecent assay and Western blot differed much from the control group (t=7.0327,9.2596;P<0.05),and the difference of VEGF between ultrasonic microbubble+bevacizumb group and bevacizumab group was significant (t=2.9724,17.1937;P<0.05).this experiment show that ultrasound combined bevacizumab intravitreal injection of the therapeutic effect of CNV superior to other groups(P<0.01).Conclusion Ultrasound microbubble combined with bevacizumab injection may improve the therapeutic effect on CNV by inhibiting the expression of VEGF.
