Objective To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various harmonic magnetic resonance elasticity reconstruction algorithms.Methods Different reconstruction algorithms were categorized according to their mathematical hypotheses.The influence of different assumptions on elasticity reconstruction was investigated with experiments and from mathematical fundamentals.Results The finite element full inversion method had higher precision while more computational time.The algorithms with local homogeneity and incompressibility assumptions were faster while less accurate.The algorithms considering the local change of elastic moduli could effectively reduce boundary artifacts.Conclnsion Different assumptions of algorithms may cause levels of errors between the estimated and real elastic moduli.The selection of elasticity reconstruction algorithms in practical experiment requires a comprehensive tradeoff.

Objective To explore the changes of placental growth factor (PLGF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods One hundred and twelve patients were divided into four groups according to clinical data and coronary angiography:non-coronary artery disease (non-CAD) group (27 cases),stable angina (SA) group (28 cases ),unstable angina (UA) group (29 cases) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (28 cases).Fifty-seven patients with ACS were divided into single lesion group (19 cases),twice lesion group ( 16 cases) and triple lesion group (22 cases) by coronary angiography,and 0-7 scores group (23 cases),8-15 scores group (27 cases) and 16-32 scores group (7 cases) by Jenkins scores.The serum PLGF levels of all the cases were determined on admission.The serum PLGF levels of 40 cases receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were determined at 30 min before operation,the first and second day after operation.Results The serum PLGF levels of AMI group and UA group were (38.33 ±10.14) ng/L and (37.44 ± 13.32) ng/L respectively,which were significant higher than that of SA group [(20.90 ± 3.88) ng/L] and non-CAD group [(20.34 ±4.53) ng/L](P＜ 0.01),and there was no significant difference between AMI group and UA group,SA group and non-CAD group (P ＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum PLGF level among triple lesion group,twice lesion group and single lesion group (P ＞ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in the serum PLGF level among 0-7 scores group,8-15scores group and 16-32 scores group (P ＞ 0.05).The serum PLGF level of patients receiving PCI on the first day after operation [ (32.03 ± 7.41 ) ng/L] was significantly higher than that before operation [ (23.86 ± 6.91 ) ng/L](P＜ 0.05 ),and on the second day after operation the serum PLGF level [ (29.37 ± 6.99) ng/L] was less than that on the first day after operation,showing a fall tendency(P＞ 0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum PLGF levels in patients with ACS were not related with cardiac troponin T and creatine kinase isozyme-MB (r =-0.158,P=0.421;r =0.302,P=0.118).Conclusion The serum PLGF level of ACS patients is an inflammatory marker reflecting coronary atherosclerotic plaque destabilizing or plaque ruptured,and may also play an important role in early diagnosis of the borderline case of ACS.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Cili juice enriched with SOD (CLJES) on lead excretion, activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in erythrocytes, plasma lipid peroxidation (LPO) and immune function in experimental lead poisoning animals. METHODS: Lead poisoning models were made in rats and mice. The effects of CLJES on lead excretion, SOD activity, LPO concentration in rats and immune functions in mice were determined and compared with those of conventional EDTA treatment. RESULTS: CLJES significantly increased lead excretion. Furthermore it significantly increased SOD activity, reduced LPO concentration in rats with lead poisoning and enhanced immune function in lead loaded mice, however EDTA had no such actions. CONCLUSION: CLJES might exert a wider range of therapeutic effects on lead poisoning than EDTA.

OBJECTIVE:To construct and identify pIRES 2-BDNF-VEGF 165 bicistronic eukaryotic expression vector.
METHODS:BDNF genes were obtained from the genomic DNA of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells by PCR. Then, the BDNF cDNA fragment was inserted into the multiple cloning sites of pIRES 2-EGFP to generate the bicistronic eukaryotic expression plasmid pIRES 2-BDNF-EGFP. The VEGF 165 gene was obtained from pIRES 2-VEGF 165-EGFP plasmid by double PCR. Next step was that VEGF 165 cDNA fragment was cloned into the pIRES2BDNF-EGFP instead of EGFP to create a double gene co-expressing vector plasmid pIRES 2-BDNF-VEGF 165 . Then, pIRES 2-BDNF-VEGF 165 was used to transfect HEK293 cells, and RT-PCR and western-blot assay were employed to test the co-expression of double genes.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BDNF and VEGF 165 genes were cloned in this study. The DNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that the BDNF and VEGF 165 were exactly consistent with the sequence recorded in the GenBank. The size of BDNF gene was 744 bp. The VEGF 165 gene was obtained from pIRES 2-VEGF 165-EGFP plasmid by PCR, and the size of VEGF 165 gene was 576 bp. Enzyme digestion analysis indicated that BDNF and VEGF 165 genes were inserted into the expression vector pIRES 2-EGFP correctly and the BDNF and VEGF165 co-expression plasmid was successful y constructed. Then, by transfecting pIRES 2-BDNF-VEGF 165 into HEK293 cells, double genes were expressed at the mRNA and protein level.

To construct a recombinant adenovirus containing CDglyES fusion gene, which can directly inhibit human ovarian cancer cell and indirectly inhibit vascular endothelial cell growth. Methods:We constructed prAdCDglyES using a homolo-gous recombination method in bacteria. The prAdCDglyES was transfected to 293 packaging cells using liposome, in which rAdCDgly-ES was packaged and amplified. MTT was used to observe the proliferation inhibition effect of rAdCDglyES on human ovarian cancer cells and the growth inhibition effect of expressing products of rAdCDglyES on ECV-304. Results:The titer of rAdCDglyES was 1 × 1013.3 TCID50/L, whereas the inhibition rate on human ovarian cancer cell SKOV-3 was (83.1±6.3)%. This result is significantly different from the control rAd-LacZ, which had an inhibition rate of (24.1 ± 13.2)% (P<0.01). The concentrated culture supernatant from cells transfected with rAdCDglyES can inhibit ECV-304 cell proliferation at a rate of (78.7 ± 1.6)%. This rate is significantly different com-pared with that of the control with the same concentration of culture supernatant from cells transfected with rAd-CD, with an effect on ECV-304 cell shown by an inhibition rate of (23.9 ± 9.7)%(P<0.01). Conclusion:The results showed that the recombinant adenovirus rAdCDglyES could inhibit human ovarian cancer cells directly and indirectly.

Objective To study the correlation between pain, lower limb strength and physical function in patients with primary osteoporosis. Methods Fifty-seven female patients diagnosed with menopause-related low bone mass or primary osteoporosis using a GE calcaneus bone density detector were involved in this study. The muscle strength of their lower limbs was tested with a Biodex system 4 machine. Pain was assessed with a visual analogue scale, and physical function (PF) with the SF-36 instrument. Results Low back pain was significantly correlated with PF, and so was leg pain. Leg pain was also significantly correlated with the strength of the extensors of the dominant leg during low velocity and medium velocity movement. Leg pain was not, however, significantly correlated with the strength of the flexors of the dominant leg during low and medium velocity movement. Conclusions Pain predicts poor physical function in patients with primary osteoporosis or low bone density. During low and medium velocity movement, leg pain significantly predicts poor muscle strength in the extensors of the dominant lower leg, but it has no correlation with the muscle strength of the flexors.
