The low sensibility of MR molecular imaging to signals makes signal amplification exceptionally important.This paper reviews the strategy of the reporter gene signal amplification in MR molecular imaging.

Objective:To investigate the expression of multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene and multidrug resistance-associated pro-tein (MRP) gene in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its relation to histopathological type. Methods:The MDRi and MRP genes were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 48 NSCLCspecimens. Results:The positive rates of the MDR1 and MRP gene expression were 62.5％ and 66.7％ respectively in the48 patients. Twenty-one of the 48 NSCLCs (43.8％) expressed both MDR1 and MRP genes. The positive rates of the MRPgene expression in squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than those in adenocarcinoma (P＜0.01), and therewas no significant difference in MDR1 gene expression between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion: The MDR1 andMRP gene expressions were both or respectively in the NSCLCs. The incidence of the MRP gene expression in squamous cellcarcinoma was higher than that in adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics and the bioequivalence of cefdinir dispersible tablets in healthy volunteers.METHODS:Microbiological assay method was used to determine the plasma concentration at different time in 20 healthy volunteers after oral administration of single dose of 400mg of cefdinir dispersible tablets(test preparation) and cefdinir capsule(reference preparation) by cross-over way.RESUTLS:The concentration-time curves of test preparation and reference preparation of cefdinir fitted one compartment open model.The pharmacokinetic parameters of the test preparation vs.the reference preparation were as follows:tmax(3.48?0.53)h vs.(3.60?0.48)h,Cmax(2.10?0.32)mg?L-1 vs.(2.15?0.26)mg?L-1.t1/2ke(2.41?0.39)h vs.(2.33?0.41)h,AUC0～12(9.51?1.65)mg?h?L-1 vs.(10.05?1.72)mg?h?L-1,AUC0～∞(10.43?1.62)mg?h?L-1 vs.(11.01?1.81)mg?h?L-1,respectively.The relative bioavailability of cefdinir dispersible tablet as against its reference preparation was(96.03?14.89)%.CONCLUSION:The two preparations of cefdinir were proved to be bioequivalent.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator(rr-PA) and urokinase(UK) in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods According to the digital table,128 patients with AMI were randomly divided into two groups,64 cases in each group.The control group adopted UK intravenous thrombolytic therapy,while the observation group adopted rr-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy.The recanalization condition at different time after thrombolytic therapy,the incidence rate of cardiovascular events and death rate were compared between the two groups.Results The recanalization rate at 30min,60min and 120min after thrombolysis of the observation group were 29.69 ％,59.38 ％ and 93.75 ％,respectively,which were significantly higher than 14.06％,35.94％ and 68.75％ of the control group(x2 =6.34,7.01,7.45,all P ＜ 0.05) ;The incidence rate of cardiovascular events and mortality rate of the observation group after thrombolytic therapy were 17.19％ and 4.64％,respectively,which were significantly lower than 40.63％ and 12.50％ of the control group (x2 =7.83,7.62,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator intravenous thrombolytic therapy has significant effect in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction after thrombolysis,which can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality,with good clinical application value.

Objective To determine the changes in interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-1?(IL-1?) mRNA expressions in alveolar macrophages during isoflurane anesthesia. Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ male patients undergoing partial hepatectomy were randomly divided into two groups: group Ⅰ isoflurane; group Ⅱ general combined with epidural anesthesia. The age ranged from 43 to 67 years and body weight from 50 to 74kg. The patients were unpremedicated. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol infusion (4-6mg? kg-1?h-1 ) fentanyl and vecuronium in both groups. In addition 1% isoflurane was inhaled in group I and continuous epidural anesthesia with a mixture of 1 % lidocaine + 0.2% poutocaine (5ml/h) was performed in groupⅡ . ECG, SpO2, BP and HR were continuously monitored during anesthesia. Alveolar macrophages were harvested by bronchoalveolar lavage immediately and 4h after induction of anesthesia. RNA was extracted from harvested cells and cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription. Expressions of IL-8 and IL-1? were measured by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction using ?-actin as an internal standard. Results Gene expression of IL-8 and IL-1? in alveolar macrophages increased significantly at 4h after induction of anesthesia. The increase was greater in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ( P

Objective To investigate the classification and its application in one-stage repair of massive posttraumatic bone defects which are infection-induced and refractory in lower extremities. Methods From March 2002 to December 2008, we treated 42 patients with massive posttraumatic refractory infection-induced bone defects in lower extremities. We classified the defects into 3 types: simple massive infection-induced bone defects (type Ⅰ), massive infection-induced bone and soft-tissue defects (type Ⅱ) and massive infection-induced bone defects plus limb shortening (type Ⅲ). After thorough debridement, various types of vascularized fibular grafts were used to repair the 3 kinds of defects accordingly. Simple fibular grafts were used in 6 cases, transplantation with fibular and skin flaps was used in 31 cases, fibular grafts combined with anterior lateral thigh flap in 4 cases, and one-stage limb lengthening and fibular graft in one. Results The follow-ups of 6 to 41 (average, 26. 3) months revealed that the refractory bone defects were repaired successfully in 38 cases, amputation due to necrosis of fibular grafts in 2 cases and uncontrolled infection in 2 cases. In the 38 cases, infections were controlled effectively, circulation of the traumatic limbs was good,contour and function were restored satisfactorily, and no obvious complication was found in donor limbs. By Johner-Wruhs evaluation, 17 cases were excellent, 18 cases good, 3 cases fair and 4 cases poor, with a total excellent and good rate of 83.33%. Conclusions Refractory and massive posttraumatic infection-induced bone defects in lower extremities can be classified into 3 types. They can be repaired using various types of vascularized fibular grafts according to the defect types at one-stage.
