Objective To study the image quality control system to ensure that equipment meet clinical needs.Methods It was scanning the Catphan504 phantom with models of high quality head,standard dose head and pelvis,we could get the results of CT numbers linearity,uniformity,spatial resolution,contrast resolution.Using T test to compare different scanning technique results.Results The standard dose head scanning technique was better than the pelvis scanning technique in CT numbers linearity test,and gets the best result in uniformity test.The result of CT numbers uniformity was higher in the standard dose head scanning than the high quality head and the pelvis scanning (9.7 ±3.9 vs.17.9 ±5.3,P =0.00 and 9.5 ± 4.0 vs.31.1 ± 5.7,P =0.00).The result of contrast resolution was higher in the pelvis scanning than the high quality head and the pelvis scanning (5.6 ± 0.1 vs.1.3 ± 0.5,P =0.00 and 6.0 ± 1.0 vs.1.3 ± 0.5,P =0.00).The result of spatial linear distance was very accurate,the range was 4.98 -5.06 cm.Conclusions The results of spatial linearity test are stable and accuracy,but CT numbers linearity and uniformity test are affected by the scanning technique significantly for device.To spatial resolution test and contrast resolution test,we need to set the standard and tolerance according to each linear accelerator specialty.

Objective To investigate the control status of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the middle aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Lanzhou communities and analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 1 120 individuals having diagnosed T2DM aged 40-75 years in Lanzhou communities were selected.Questionnaire was conducted.Height,weight,blood pressure and lipid were examined.Body mass index (BM1) was calculated.The index were analyzed.Results The patients with HbA1c less than 7.0％ were 453 cases (40.4％,453/1 120),and HbA1c more than or equal to 7.0％ were 667cases (59.6％,667/1 120).The target rate of HbA1c in the patients receiving life style,one oral antidiabetic drug,more oral antidiabetic drug,insulin therapy were 49.2％(94/191),45.7％(182/398),41.5％(88/212) and 27.9％(89/319),respectively.The target rate of HbA1c were 38.6％(192/298),32.2％(49/152),32.7％(49/150),27.0％(85/315) in the patients overweight or obese,with macro or micro vascular complication,and 60.0％ (12/20),44.4％(200/450),41.6％(404/970),45.7％(368/805) in the patients without overweight or obese and macro or micro vascular complication,and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the extension duration of diabetes,increased BMI,combining with macro or micro vascular complication and gradual strengthening antidiabetic treatment were independent risk factors for HbA1c target (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Current status of HbA1c control in the middle aged and elderly patients with T2DM in Lanzhou communities is not optimistic,which is affected by many factors,suggesting that professional education on management should be further strengthened.And optimal treatment programs and individualized comprehensive treatment are needed for most patients to improve glycemic control.

Objective:To prepare urokinase targeted thrombus microbubbles combined with low frequency ultrasound to dissolve thrombus in rabbit femoral artery, and to explore the mechanism of thrombolysis through the change of urokinase concentration.Methods:Twenty-four rabbits with thrombosed femoral artery were randomly divided into four treatment groups: urokinase alone (UK) group, ultrasound with non-targeted microbubble and urokinase (US+ M+ UK) group, platelet-targeted microbubble with urokinase (R+ UK) group, ultrasound with platelet-targeted microbubble and urokinase (US+ R+ UK) group. Thrombus-targeted microbubbles were injected through the ear vein and irradiated by ultrasound for 30 minutes, and the pulsed Doppler blood flow meter was used to continuously monitor the blood flow at 0 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min after injection. At the same time, the changes in urokinase concentration were monitored, and the characteristics of blood flow and urokinase concentration changes were analyzed.Results:UK and US+ M+ UK groups failed to show recanalization at 120 minutes after treatment.In contrast, the US+ R+ UK and R+ UK groups both achieved persistent recanalization( P<0.001). Compared with the basal state. Both the R+ UK group and R+ UK+ US group showed a decrease at 60 minutes, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the thrombolysis process of low-frequency ultrasound combined with a targeted contrast agent carrying urokinase, the targeting can make the local urokinase concentration of thrombus reach the highest level. At the same time, ultrasound and targeted microbubbles promote urokinase to enter the thrombus, and finally achieve the strongest thrombolytic effect.

Background Researches showed that triterpenoids,with a similar structure to lanosterol,has therapeutical effect on many systemic diseases,and lanosterol was determined to have a therapeutical effect on cataract recently.However,how the lanosterol plays effects on other eye diseases is still unelucidated.Understanding the distribution of lanosterol in ocular tissue is helpful for us to elucidate the relationship of lanosterol with eye diseases.Objective This study attempted to investigate the distribution of lanosterol synthase (LSS) and lanosterol in cornea,lens and retina tissue of rats and offer a basis for the targeting treatment of eye diseases.Methods Fifteen SPF male SD rats were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia to obtain the eyeballs.The relative expressions of LSS protein and gene in the cornea,lens and retina tissue of the rats were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR,respectively.Immunofluorescence staining technology was used to locate the distribution of LSS in cornea,lens and retina tissue.The contents of lanosterol in the cornea,lens and retina tissue were analyzed by liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS).Results No LSS protein and mRNA was expressed in the retinal tissue in normal rats.The mean relative expression of LSS protein in the lens and cornea was 0.43±0.05 and 0.25±0.03,respectively,showing a significant difference between them (t =-5.35,P＜ 0.01).The relative expression of LSS mRNA was 0.51 ±0.04 and 0.29 ±0.02 in the lens and cornea,respectively,with a stronger expression in the lens in comparison with the cornea (t =-8.34,P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence staining showed that LSS primarily located in corneal epithelial layer,stromal layer and endothelial layer as well as lens epithelial cells and shallow cortex layer and hardly expressed in retina,and no co-expression of LSS with the neuron marked by NeuN and the Müller cell marked by glutamine synthetase (GS) in retinal tissue.LC-MS analysis revealed that the contents of lanosterol in lens and cornea was (24.37 ±2.91) ng/mg and (5.31 ±0.58) ng/mg,respectively,with a significant difference between them (t =-11.13,P＜0.01).Conclusions LSS and lanosterol extensively distribute in cornea and lens of normal rats,but not in retina tissue.These results offer new strategies for the target treatment of relevant eye diseases.

AIMThe relationship between gastric acid secretion and ATP level, and regulation of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) mRNA expression by vagus nerve were studied in vagotomies rats.

METHODSWith the high selective vagotomy model, the gastric acidity was titrated to pH 7.0 with 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution and ATP contents were quantified by using fluorimetry. The expression of UCP2 mRNA was observed by using Northern blot in stomach of rats.

RESULTSBoth of gastric acidity and ATP contents in stomach body decreased significantly at 24 h after vagotomy. The expression of UCP2 mRNA was markedly increased as compared with sham operation group.

CONCLUSIONATP contents decreased and vagus nerve down-regulates expression of UCP2 mRNA in stomach corpus in vagotomies rats. The results indicates that vagus nerve could underlay the gastric acidity by inhibiting expression of UCP2 mRNA and increasing ATP contents in rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of different culture conditions on the isolation and expansion of stem cells from second-trimester amniotic fluids.Methods Amniotic fluids were obtained from 15 pregnant women undergone amniocenteses for medical indications between 16-24 gestation weeks by transabdominal amniocenteses from September 2007 to June 2008.Amniotic fluids(10-20 ml)samples were collected and each WaS cultured under different conditions or groups.(1)Low-glucose DMEM(LD) medium supplemented with 10%of fetal bovine serum(group of 10% FBS);(2)LD medium with 20%of FBS(group of 20%FBS);(3)LD medium with 15%of FBS and 4 ng/ml of basic fibroblast growth factor (group of bFGF);(4)LD medium with 10%of FBS as well ag the culture plate coated with gelatin(group of gelatin).The effects of different conditions were evaluated by comparing the number of primary colonies,the cell morphology and the ability of expansion.The isolated stem cells were identified by flow cytometry,RT-PCR and differentiation ability to edipocyte.Resuits (1)The success rates of primary culture of the group of 10%FBS,20%FBS,bFGF and gelatin were 60%,73%,73%and 60% respectively(P>0.05).The numbers of colonies were 0.9±0.5,2.6±1.5,2.9±1.5,1.1±0.8(P<0.01 when group of 10%FBS and gelatin compared with group of 20%FBS and bFGF);among the primary colonies,fibroblast-like colonies accounted for 46%,49%,64%.44%respectively(P>0.05).(2)The second passage cells obtained from all of these four groups could difierentiate into adipocyte after induction.(3)In the group of bFGF,stem cells were isolated from 5 samples and expanded to nearly 107 cells after 5 passages(P<0.01 compared with other groups).(4)Karyotype were normal in all samples.(5)Stem cells from bFGF group showed positive expression of SSEA-4.Oct-4 and Nanog gene detected by flow cytometry and RT-PCR.Conclusion Stem cells can be isolated from second-trimester amniotic fluids;moderate serum concentration and supplementation of bFGF can improve the efficiency of isolation and expansion of amniotic fluid of stem cells.

Point Dingchuan (Ex-B1) pertains to extraordinary points and often produces a good therapeutic effect on respiratory system diseases. Ancient Chinese medical books do not record point Dingchuan. Modern Chinese medical textbooks describe the location and efficacy of and indications for this point but do not state their provenances. In order to further popularize the clinical application of point Dingchuan, this article verifies the origin and development of the name and location of point Dingchuan so as to provide a certain reference for clinically correct selection and use of this point. The results show that point Dingchuan followed the course of development from ashi point to new point and then to extraordinary point. The development of point Dingchuan to the same acupoint name and location as now international use went mainly through four stages, that is, similar name and different location, similar name and location, same name and different location, and same name and location.
