Objective To research the diagnostic value and the relative factors of abnormal hepatic perfusion in hepatic abscess. Methods During February 1998~ October 2003, spiral scan was perfomed in 34 patients with hepatic abscess, of which 34 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma without portal carcinomatous embolus were randomly selected. Following plain spiral CT scan of the liver, arterial phase scanning was started at 20 s after contrast injection. CT findings were observed and the relative factors of abnormal hepatic perfusion of hepatic abscess were analyzed. Results Abnormal hepatic perfusion in arterial phase was seen in 26 cases, of which 18 cases in hepatic abscess and 8 cases in hepatocellular carcinoma, presenting as irregular patchy high density. CT demonstrated that formation of abnormal hepatic perfusion was related to the course of diseases, but not related to the location of the lesions. Conclusion Abnormal hepatic perfusion is another important enhanced CT sign and is valuable in the diagnosis of hepatic abscess.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and predictive value of measuring peritoneal inflammatory cytokines in predicting biliary fistulas in patients undergoing biliary surgery.Methods Peritoneal samples and serum samples of 3227 biliary surgery patients were collected on the first,third,fifth postoperative day,and IL-6,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-? and CRP of the samples were measured.Patients were divided into two groups:those with clinical evidence of biliary fistulas and those without any evidence of biliary fistulas.The age,sex,operative method and operative time between the two groups were compared.Results There was a negative correlation between biliary fistulas and age,sex and operation mode;but blood loss,operation time and common bile duct diameter had positive correlation with biliary fistulas.Peritoneal cytokine levels were significantly higher in patients with biliary fistulas as compared to those without biliary fistulas.Conclusions The peritoneal cytokine level is a sensitive parameter of peritoneal inflammation and can be as an additional diagnostic tool for the early prediction of biliary fistulas after biliary surgery.

Background Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the causes of corneal blindness.Studies showed that ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) can regulate the growth of tumor cells,and inhibiting ARF will decrease angiogenesis.However,whether ARF antagonist plays an action on CNV is unclear.Objective The aim of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of ARF inhibitor on alkali-burn induced CNV.Methods Sixty clean male BABL/c mice aged 7-8 weeks were divided into PBS group and ARF antagonist group according to randomized number table.CNV models were induced by NaOH burn method in all the mice.ARF at the concentration of 0.5 g/L(0.5 ml) was intraperitoneally injected 3 times per week for 1 week followed the induction of CNV in the ARF antagonist group,and 0.5 ml PBS was used in the PBS group.CNV was examined 2,4,7,14 days after injection by the slit lamp microscope and the CNV related area in the cornea was calculated.Betore modeling(0 day) and 4,7,14 days after modeling,real-time PCR and Western blot were used to analyze the expressions of ARF mRNA and protein in the corneas.Forteen days after modeling,the expression of the CD31 in the CNV was detected using immnofluorescence of corneal whole mount;the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in the cornea was assayed by Western blot.Cellular wound scratch test was employed to evaluate the effects of ARF antagonist on proliferation and migration of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (RECs).All animal experiments were done in accordance with the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research and Guideline for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals on the the Soochow University Animal Care Committee.Results ARF mRNA and protein were expressed in the mice corneas in both the PBS group and the ARF antagonist group at various time points.The expression of ARF mRNA in mice corneas was enhanced with the lapse of the time (Ftime =65.17,P =0.00),but no significant difference was found among the groups (Fsroup =1.98,P=0.18).There was also significant difference in the expression of ARF protein in mice corneas at different time points in the ARF antagonist group (F =10.77,P =0.00).The related CNV area was 0.45±0.05 in the ARF antagonist group,and that in the PBS group was 0.72±0.11,with significant difference between them (t =-3.87,P ＜ 0.05).The green fluorescence area of C D31 expression in the cornea was smaller in the ARF antagonist group than that of the PBS group.Expression level of VEGF in the ARF antagonist group was 1.20±0.21,and that in the PBS group was 2.47±0.33,showing a significant difference (t =-5.62,P ＜ 0.05).As the increase of ARF antagonist concentration,the inhibiting rate of cell proliferation was reinforced among 10,100 and 1 000 μg/L ARF antagonist groups (F=8.47,P =0.02).Twenty-four hours after scratch test,the migrating distance of human RECs was (5.46±1.32) μm and (5.04±1.68) μm in the 100 μg/L and 1 000 μg/L ARF antagonist groups,respectively,which were shorter than (8.49± 1.18) μm of the PBS group (t=-2.94,-2.91,both at P＜0.05).Conclusions ARF inhibitor can reduce CNV by down-regulating the expression of VEGF in alkaline burn cornea and inhibiting the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells.

Background The pathogenesis and mechanism research of corneal neovascularization is of important significance for the prevention and management of corneal neovascularization.Some relative researches are being performed on non-corneal neovascularization-derived vascular endothelial cells, so the results are affected to a certain extent.Objective This study was to isolate and culture vascular endothelial cells from experimental corneal neovascularization tissue and detect the expression of chemokine receptors in vitro.Methods Corneal neovascularization models were established on 10 SPF male BALB/c mice with the age of 7-8 weeks by sticking the filter papers with NaOH on the central corneas, and then the immunofluorescence technique was use to assay the CD31 expression in corneal flatmount 2 weeks after modeling.Corneal pieces were made in 2 weeks after alkali burn and then were digested by collagenase type D.Vascular endothelial cells were isolated from neovascularized tissue by affinity purification using magnetic beads coated with anti-CD31.The cells were cultured on fibronectin-coated walls and then identified by immunocytochemistry.Reverse transcription-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of chemokine receptors in the cells.The use and care of the animals complied with ARVO Statement and this experimental procedure was approved by Soochow University Animal Care Committee.Results Corneal neovascularization occurred at 7 days and peaked at 2 weeks after modeling, and immunofluorescence exhibited the green network-like fluorescence for CD31 antibody in corneas.The cells grew against the wall 2 hours after culture with the polygon shape and large dimension, and the growth obviously quickened after passage.The cultured cells showed the positive response for CD31 antibody, showing the brown dye in cytoplasm,in contrast,the expression of CD31 was absent in corneal stromal cells.Chemokine receptors were positively expressed in the cells with the strongest expression levels in CCR1 ,CCR2,CCR3 and CCR4 mRNA and the weakest expression levels in CCR9,CXCR4 and CXCR5 mRNA,while CXCR3, CCR6, CCR10 and CX3CR1 mRNA were expressed with the moderate intensity.Conclusions Vascular endothelial cells can be obtained from experimental neovascularized corneas by affinity purification and express chemokine receptors,which facilitate the study of their biological properties.

Objective To obtain the dynamic characteristics of the stretcher bed without absorber, and to optimize the absorber. Methods Pro/E and ADAMS were used to build the dynamic model of the stretcher bed on ambulance. The principle of random sine wave superposition and Visual Basic language were used to produce time-domain pavement roughness which could stimulate the model. The system was analyzed. Results The curve of vertical acceleration in time and frequency domain and the RMS of vertical acceleration without absorber were obtained by simulation., and a reasonably suited pair of stiffness and damping coefficient was found to reduce the vibration intensity. Conclusion The inherent frequency of the stretcher bed is 2.7Hz, which is out of the sympathetic vibration area of decubital body. Through adjusting and optimizing the stiffness and damping of vibration reduction equipment, the stretcher bed is more comfortable.
