Objective To study the CT features of peripheral lung cancer with thin-walled cavity, and to improve the understanding and diagnostic accuracy of this type of lung cancer. Methods Thirty-one patients (male:18, female:13, average age(56 ± 12)years old) with surgically proven peripheral lung cancer with thin-walled cavity were studied retrospectively. There were 28 cases of adenocarcinoma, 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 1 case of sarcomatoid carcinoma. All patients had MSCT examination, and the CT features of the solid lesion and thin-walled cavity of the lung cancer were analyzed. The relationship between solid lesion and thin-walled cavity location, cavity wall thickness and uniformity, wall nodules, vascularstructures close to the outer wall, septum or air-fluid level inside the cavity, and dynamic changes of the lesions were all evaluated. Results (1) Solid lesion:mostly located in both upper and middle lobes of the lung in 21cases (67.7%). Lobulation, speculation and vessel convergence sign were observed in 27 cases (87.1%), 21 cases(67.7% )and 16 cases(51.6%) respectively. Twenty cases showed as ground glass nodule (GGN) (64.5%), with pure GGN in 11 cases(35.5%). (2) Cavitary lesion: The average diameter was (2.7 ± 1.3) cm, the cavity located in the periphery of the solid lesions in 26 cases (83.9%),and in 20 cases (64.5%) located in the lateral or superior and inferior lateral aspect of the solid lesion;The cavity wall was uniform in17 cases (54.8%) and the wall thickness<2 mm were seen in 16 cases (51.6%), 2-3 mm were observed in 10 cases (32.3%);Wall nodules were seen in five cases (16.1%);Blood vessels adjacent to outer wall were found in 12 cases (38.7%);There was no air-fluid level in the cavity in all the cases;But septum with uneven thickness or small vessels were seen in the cavity in 27 cases (87.1%). Conclusions The majority of peripheral lung cancer with thin-walled cavity was adenocarcinoma, characteristic CT features of thin-walled cavitary lesions may be helpful in the diagnosis of this type of lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effects of taurine on blood glucose, number of platelets in plasma, pletelet aggregation and metabolism of oxygen free radicals in diabetic rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced by a single injection (ip) of streptozotocin (STZ,70 mg/kg body weight). The rats were maintained on drinking water with or without taurine (1.5 g/kg body weight per day). The concentration of blood glucose, maximal aggregation rate of platelets induced by adenosine 5 diphosphate(ADP) or thrombin(Thr) and the number of platelets in plasma were measured. Metabolism of oxygen free radicals in platelets was assessed as superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and content of malondialdehyde(MDA) in platelets. [WT5FZ]Results: [WT5BZ]The concentration of blood glucose and maximal aggregation rate of platelets induced by ADP or Thr were significantly higher in diabetic rats than in non diabetic rats. The diabetic rats showed decreased platelet number and SOD activity with higher MDA level. In taurine treated diabetic rats concentration of blood glucose was obviously decreased, but no significant change was found in platelet number, SOD activity, MDA content and aggregation of platelets induced by ADP or Thr. [WT5FZ] Conclusion: [WT5BZ]There is a correlation between the increase in platelet aggregability and the abnormal metabolism of oxygen free radicals in platelets and taurine can decrease the blood glucose level but has no significant effect on platelet aggregability and metabolism of oxygen free radicals in diabetic rats.

In order to obtain higher L-lactic acid yield industrial strain, the original strain Rhizopus oryzae PW352 was mutated by means of N+ ions implantation and a mutant strain Rhizopus oryzae RE3303 was obtained. Its lactic acid yield was increased by 75% than that of the original one. The acid producing condition was optimized by orthogonal design. The concentration of L-lactic acid reached to 131~136g/L and the conversion rate of glucose was as high as 86%~90% under the optimum condition.
