OBJECTIVE:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of Stillbene glycoside (THPG) in Zhipingk-ang misture.METHODS:The chromatographic column was Hypersil C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m).The mobile phase consisted of acetonitribl-water(25∶75) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1 with detection wavelength set at 320 nm. RESULTS: There was a good linear relationship within the concentration range of 0.5～8.0 ?g for THPG. The average recovery of THPG was 100.03%(RSD=1.07, n=6).CONCLUSION: The adoptd method is accurate, reproducible and suitable for the quality con-trol of Zhipingkang misture.

OBJECTIVETo introduce the location and course of S1, S2 sacral nerve root tunnel and to clarify the significance of the anterior aspect of sacral nerve root tunnel on placement of iliosacral screw on the standard lateral sacral view.

METHODSFirstly the data of 2.0 mm slice pelvic axial CT images were imported into Mimics 10.0, and the sacrum, innominate bones, and sacral nerve root tunnels were reconstructed into 3D views respectively, which were rotated to the standard lateral sacral views, pelvic outlet and inlet views. Then the location and course of the S1, S2 sacral nerve root tunnel on each view were observed.

RESULTSThe sacral nerve root tunnel started from the cranial end and anterior aspect of the vertebral canal of the same segment and ended up to the anterior sacral foramen with a direction from cranial-posterior-medial to caudal-anterior-lateral. The tunnel had a lower density than the iliac cortex and greater sciatic notch on the pelvic X-rays,especially on the standard sacral lateral view, on which it showed up as a disrupted are line and required more careful recognition.

CONCLUSIONIt can prevent the iliosacral screw from penetrating the sacral nerve root tunnel and vertebral canal when recognizing the anterior aspect of sacral nerve root tunnel and choosing it as the caudal-posterior boundary of the "safe zone" on the standard lateral sacral view.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of low dose dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT with iterative mod el reconstruction (IMR) technique.Methods Totally 130 patients with suspected pulmonary occupying lesions underwent dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT,who were randomly assigned into 2 groups (group A and group B,each n=65).Patients in group A were scanned with 100 kV,DoseRight technique with dose right index 10,and images were reconstructed with the hybrid iterative reconstruction (iDose4).While patients in group B were scanned with 80 kV,DoseRight technique with dose right index 8,and images were reconstructed with iterative model reconstruction (IMR).The objective image quality,subjective image scores and the excellence rate of vascular visualization were compared in both pulmonary artery (PA) and bronchial artery (BA) phases.The radiation dose was also calculated.Results The effective dose was (3.30 ±0.89)mSv in group A and (1.27 ±0.19)mSv in group B.Compared to group A,the effective dose reduced 61.52％ in group B (P＜0.001).Lower image noise and greater CNR were obtained in group B compared to group A in both PA and BA phases (all P＜0.001).No significant difference was found in subjective image scores of lung and mediastinal setting and the excellence rate of vascular visualization in both groups (all P＞0.05).Conclusion Using IMR,dual phase contrast-enhanced chest CT allows for a radiation dose reduction up to 61.52％,meanwhile,ensures the image quality and meets the diagnostic requirements.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of ~(99)Tc~m-ethylenedicysteine (EC) diuretic renography (DR) in pre-and post-operative pediatric congenital hydronephrosis.Methods The DR with injection of Furosemide at 15 min of forty children with hydronephrosis was retrospectively studied.The preoperative renal blood perfusion rate (BPR),effective renal plasma flow (ERPF),grade of hydronephrosis,renogram and renal dynamic imaging of pre- and post-operative kidneys were compared.The t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used for data analysis.Results (1) Of 40 pathological kidneys,the BPR increased 5.99% (t=-5.13,P＜0.01)from pre-operative to post-operative:(34.05±11.07)% to (40.04±8.56)%.The ERPF increased 12.48 ml/min(t=-4.35,P＜0.01) from pre-operative to post-operative:(57.81±34.32)ml/min to(70.29±5.37)ml/min.(2)The grade of hydronephrosis of 40 pathological kidneys improved significantly(Z=-2.64,P＜0.01) with the mean sum of ranks of 47.21 pre-operatively to 33.79 post-operatively.(3) As the hydronephrosis worsened,the collecting system became bigger,the renal parenchyma became thinner,the extent of intrarenal parenchymal photopenia became larger and the response to diuretic challenge in pathological kidneys decreased or became totally irresponsive.(4)Thirty-seven cases of obstruction at ureteropelvic junction (UPJO) and 3 cases at ureterovesical junction (UVJO) were diagnosed by DR,which were all confirmed by surgery.Conclusions DR is a reliable method to evaluate pediatric congenital hydronephrosis.It can accurately reflect the grade and (or) severity of the disease,guide therapy and assess the therapeutic success of operation.

Objective To explore sub-clinical items in evaluating the prognosis of epileptic patients,the study on differences of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in both effective treated and incomplete-controlled patients with idiopathic generalized tonic clonic seizure (GTCS) was carried out.Methods Interictal rCBF measurements using 99m Tc-ethyl cysteinates dimmer (ECD) SPECT was performed on 29 effective treated idiopathic GTCS patients and 12 incomplete controlled idiopathic GTCS patients. The rCBF distribution was semi-quantitatively analyzed by regions of interest (ROIs) comparing with abnormal rate of interictal hypoperfusion rCBF,clinical seizure time and EEG.Results ROI analysis showed that rCBF decreased in basal ganglia and thalamus of incomplete controlled patients with idiopathic GTCS compared to that of effective treated ones′ significantly ( P

Objective To investigate the role of ?7nAChR in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD)through exploring the relationship between ?7nAChR and A?_(1-42) in AD brains.Methods The accumulation of ?7nAChR and the possible relationship between ?7nAChR and A?_(1-42) were observed in 3 clinically and pathologically confirmed AD brains by immunohistochemistry. 3 normal brains were set as controls.Results Respective staining of anti-?7nAChR and anti-A?_(1-42) showed that the abnormal accumulation of ?7nAChR existed in AD brains. The main location was at hippocampus and temporal cortex which was just in accordance with senile plaque consisted mainly of A?_(1-42). The major part of ?7nAChR was located extra-cellular and within senile plaque from the view of morphology. No accumulation of ?7nAChR existed in normal brains. Co-staining of anti-?7nAChR and anti-A?_(1-42) further showed that ?7nAChR and A?_(1-42) could accumulate together in senile plaque of AD brain. The average rate of positive co-staining in hippocampus, temporal lobe and frontal lobe is 57.8%, 51.0% and 21.8% respectively. The accumulation of ?7nAChR in hippocampus and temporal lobe seems much than that in the frontal lobe. Conclusion ?7nAChR may combine with A?_(1-42) in AD brains. It is suggested that the combination should destroy the ?7nAChR receptor, block the receptor or mediate the injury of cholinergic neurons with the result of recognition and memory impairment and that ?7nAChR might play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
