Objective:To observe the diagnosis effect about the MRI and CT examination for the patients with lacunar cerebral infarction(LAC).Methods: 82 cases early LAC patients during April 2014- June 2016 were diagnosed by two methods, MRI and CT, respectively. And the application effect of the two methods were compared based on image result.Results: In 82 cases of LAC 742 lesions confirmed by MRI and only 145 lesions confirmed by CT, and there was statistical significant between the two methods; especially in front lobe and thalamic, lesions detection rate using MRI was higher than CT, and there was statistical significant between the two methods(x2=6.59,x2=5.64,x2=6.42;P<0.05); the difference of detection rate in capsula internal also was statistical significant(x2=7.43,P<0.05); the number of lesion diameter less than 5mm was 256 using MRI and it was 3 using CT, the difference also was statistical significant(x2=6.39,P<0.05).However, in parietal lobe, basal ganglia and brainstem, all of the difference were not statistical significant (x2=0.18,x2=1.25,x2=0.81;P>0.05);Conclusion: Both of CT and MRI can be used in early diagnosis of LAC, and MRI examination is more accurate for early or micro lesions and lesions happened in the frontal lobe, thalamus, capsula internal than CT. Therefore, MRI can be used as first choice eximination method in early diagnosis of LAC.

BACKGROUND:Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) labeling can trace the migration of stem cells in vivo, and the fluorescent DiI dye is suitable for marking and tracing cells because of its less influence on cellviability, proliferation and differentiation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect and safety of SPIO and fluorescent DiI dye to double label bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:The bilateral lower limbs of rats were isolated sterilely. Bone marrow was obtained by rinsing using low-glucose DMEM. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated by the whole bone marrow adherence method and purified by differential attachment method. Purified cells were dual-labeled with SPIO particle and fluorescent DiI dye.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could be separated at 8-10 days after primary culture and the subculturing cycle was 3-4 days. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could be effectively labeled with SPIO-DiI and the labeling efficiency was almost 100%. Blue irons contained in intracytoplasmatic vesicles could be observed clearly with Prussian blue staining, and the fluorescence microscopy showed red fluorescence at cytoplasm. Survival and apoptosis percentages obtained by MTT analysis were similar among labeled and unlabeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells that were both about 95%.These findings indicate that the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could be efficiently labeled with SPIO-DiI to construct a nano-bioprobe, without significant changes in morphology, viability and proliferation.

Objective To research the antiviral activity of artesunate (ART) in vitro fighting against both standard laboratory strains and ganciclovir(GCV)-resistance strains of human cytomegalovims(HCMV) and to explore whether fractionation dosage method can obviously enhance the antiviral effect of ART.Methods 1.Cytotoxicity assay to ART was performed by the use of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetry.The 0% toxic concentration (TC0) were determined,and median cytotoxic concentration (TC50) was calculated with Probit regression method.2.Antiviral activity assays of ART against HCMV:human embryonic lung fibroblast cells (HELs) were infected with standard laboratory strains and GCV-resistance strains of HCMV,respectively,after which virus was removed and overlays of dulbecco's modified eagle medium(MEM) containing different antiviral drugs were added to the wells.All cells were cultured continuously at 37 ℃ in a 50 mL/L CO2 humidified atmosphere for 7-10 days and the cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed under a microscope.When the degree of CPE was clear (+ + +-+ + + +),the values of absorbency at 490 nm of all cell wells were measured by MTT colorimetry.The cell survival rate (CSR)and drug inhibitory rate (IR) for HCMV were calculated.By Probit regression method,the median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 2 drugs was calculated respectively.3.To explore whether fractionation dosage method could obviously enhance the antiviral effect of ART against HCMV,the experiment was divided into 3 groups and compared with GCV group,respectively:Group 1:ART antiviral compounds were added to cell layers by one dosage.Group 2:Total drug dosage was divided into 3 parts,and each part was added to cell layers once a day for 3 days.Group 3:Total antiviral compounds were divided into 6 and delivery 2 times a day.The values of absorbency at 490 nm of all cell wells were measured by MTT colorimetry.The CSR and viral inhibitory rates were calculated.All data were statistically analyzed by One-Way ANOVA analyzing using SPSS 18.0 statistical software.P value of <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.Results 1.Cytotoxicity assay showed that cytotoxicity was not found in the relevant range of ART concentrations under 62.5 μmol/L.TC0 and TC50 value of ART were 62.5 μmol/L and 171.7 μmol/L.2.In concentration of 5 μmol/L,15 μmol/L and 30 μmol/L,ART and GCV could obviously inhibit growth of HCMV AD169 strains.There was no significant difference between them.The value of GCV IC50 was 3.49μmol/L,and the value of ART IC50 was 2.17 μmol/L.Treatment index (TI) of ART was 28.8,and GCV was 716.3.ART could still obviously inhibit growth of HCMV resistant strains,but GCV couldn't.Differences between them were statistically significant.The value of GCV IC50 to HCMV resistant strains was 44.4 μmol/L,and the value of ART IC50 was 2.5 μmol/L.3.Fractionation dosage method (2 times a day) of ART could improve the inhibition rate of virus significantly compared to that used once a day and single dose method.Difference was statistically significant(P < 0.01).GCV delivered as the same method had little different changes in virus suppression ratio(P > 0.05).Conclusions 1.Cytotoxicity was not found in the relevant range of ART concentrations under 62.5 μmol/L.2.ART could obviously inhibit growth of HCMV resistant strains and standard laboratory strains.3.Fractionation dosage method (2 times a day) of ART could improve the inhibition rate of virus significantly compared to that used once a day and single dose method.4.Because the action mode of ART is different from other anti-HCMV drugs,and ART has a high biological activity and fewer side effects,it is expected to become a kind of new antiviral drugs for HCMV infections.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of prealbumin(PA) and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GT) detection in evaluation of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates at different stages.Methods:From August 2017 to August 2018, 300 full-term delivery patients with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were selected, including 210 early-stage neonates and 90 late-stage neonates.According to the severity of bilirubinemia, the patients were classified into mild group (50 cases), moderate group (150 cases), and severe group (100 cases). The blood levels of PA and γ-GT of each group were detected.Results:The levels of PA and γ-GT in late neonates were (95.81±4.58)mg/L, (44.97±5.21)IU/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in early neonates [(94.77±6.32)mg/L, (53.88±6.32)IU/L]( t=1.410, 11.767, P=0.160, 0.000). With the increase of bilirubin level, the blood PA level was gradually decreased( P<0.05). The blood γ-GT level of moderate and severe patients were significantly higher than that of mild ones ( t=2.222, 2.020, P=0.027, 0.046). The blood levels of γ-GT and PA had no statistically significant differences between moderate patients and severe patients ( t=0.712, 1.741; P=0.477, 0.083). The blood PA level of moderate and severe patients were significantly lower than that of mild patients ( t=2.357, 3.277, P=0.019, 0.001). The serum PA levels had no statistically significant difference between severe patients and moderate patients ( t=0.719, P=0.474); and the serum PA levels of severe and moderate patients were lower than that of mild patients ( t=3.234, 2.117, P=0.001, 0.043). The serum γ-GT levels among the three groups had no statistically significant differences (severe vs.moderate: t=0.297, P=0.767; severe vs.mild: t=0.269, P=0.788; moderate vs.mild: t=0.013, P=0.989). Conclusion:By detecting the levels of PA and γ-GT in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in different periods, it can provide a reference for clinical judgment of the condition of the children, thus guiding clinical rational treatment.

OBJECTIVETo monitor human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug resistance in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation by phenotypic and genotypic methods.
METHODSHCMV clinical isolates was isolated from the urine of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients treated with GCV. Tissue cell infection median dose (TCID50) of the isolates was calculated using Reed-Muench method, and their drug susceptibility was determined by plaque reduction assay. We amplified the UL97 DNA fragment of the virus by nested PCR followed by automated DNA sequencing.
RESULTSHCMV clinical strain isolated from the urine samples of the recipients using a human fibroblast cell line showed a TCID50 value of 10(-4.618)/0.1 ml and a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) to GCV of 5.847 µmol/L, suggesting its sensitivity to GCV. Alignment with the AD169 DNA reference sequence identified 4 point mutations of the virus at 1509 (T-C), 1575 (C-T), 1794 (T-C), and 1815 (C-G), and only the last mutation resulted in one amino acid mutation to D605E. No gene mutation was found in relation to GCV resistance.
CONCLUSIONSPhenotypic and genotypic assays were established to examine antiviral drug resistance of HCMV in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We did not find any drug resistance of the clinical HCMV isolate.
