Objective To compare the effect of dopamine and norepinephrine in the treatment of shock and the effect on renal function.Methods 100 shock patients were randomly divided into norepinephrine group and dopamine group,50 cases in each group.On the basis of other anti-shock treatment,norepinephrine or dopamine was used in group A and group B.The mortality of the 7th day and urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine values (CRE) 12h,72h after treatment were observed.Results There was no significant difference between two groups in the 7th day mortality (x2 =0.765,P > 0.05).However,the proportion of arrhythmia in dopamine group was 34%,which was significantly higher than the norepinephrine group(16%) (x2 =3.84,P < 0.05).After treatment,the BUN and CRE levels in both two groups recovered,the norepinephrine group recovered better than the dopamine group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Norepinephrine and dopamine in the treatment of shock has similar clinical effect,but norepinephrine is more effective in the improvement of renal function compared with dopamine.

Objective To study the value of 64-slice spiral CT digital subtraction technique in the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms.Methods 36 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage underwent 64-slice spiral CT examination,including unenhanced CT scan and enhanced CT scan.The image data were used to reconstruct the conventional CTA and digital subtraction CTA(DSCTA).Then the differences of image quality and diagnostic efficiency between the CTA and DSCTA were compared based on the standard of DSA . Results There were 40 intracranial aneurysms in 36 patients . 40 aneurysms were detected completely by DSCTA,the sensitivity and specificity of the DSCTA were both 100% . 37 aneurysms were detected by CTA , and the sensitivity and specificity were 92.5% and 100%,respectively.There was significant difference in image quality between CTA and DSCTA(P<0.01).Conclusion DSCTA with 64-slice spiral CT might be the first diagnostic tool in screening intracranial aneurysm.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Oct4 and Wnt2 in human glioma tissues and its relationship with the clinicopathological features of glioma. Methods: Fifty-six paraffin blocks were obtained from glioma patients receiving surgery. The diagnosis of these patients were confirmed by pathology in our hospital from 2006-2009. Immunohistochemi-cal staining was used to examine Oct4 and Wnt2 expression in the brain tissues of 10 patients with acute brain injury and 56 glioma tissues (including 15 recurrent cases). Results: The normal brain tissues were negative of Oct4, with only one case showing weak Wnt2 expression. Thirty-four of the 56 glioma tissues showed positive expression of Oct4 (60.7%), and 40 showed positive expression of Wnt2 (71.4%). Positive expression rates of Oct4 and Wnt2 in low-grade and high-grade glioma tissues were 46.2 %, 73.3% and 57.7 %, 83.3%, respectively (P < 0.05). Oct4 positive rates in the recrudescence and newly diagnosed glioma tissues were 86.7% and 51.2%, respectively (P < 0.05). Oct4 expression in the glioma tissues was positively correlated with that of Wnt2 (r = 0.537, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Expression of Oct4 and Wnt2 is associated with the malignant degrees of glioma, and Oct4 expression is related to the recurrence of glioma. Oct4 might participate in the development and progression of brain glioma through Wnt signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the value of the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC-min) value in the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive cancer of breast.Methods One hundred and forty nine cases of breast cancer verified by histopathology were included in this retrospective study.All the patients underwent dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) before the biopsy.The ADC min value and its correlation with invasive ductal carcinoma(IDC),DCIS and IDC-DCIS were analyzed.Results The mean ADC-min values for IDC,IDC-DCIS and DCIS were (0.95±0.16)×10-3 mm2/s,(1.07±0.13)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.24±0.18)×10-3 mm2/s,respectively.The ADC-min value of the three groups showed an increasing trend and there were significant differences (F=32.08,P<0.01).The optimal cutoff ADC-min value was 1.02 × 10-3 mm2/s to differentiate DCIS from invasive cancer with a sensitivity of 95.0% and a specificity of 63.6%.Conclusion The ADC min values are significantly different among IDC,IDC-DCIS and DCIS.It may be used as a reliable tool to differentiate DCIS and invasive cancer of breast.

Objective To investigate the effect of vitamin B6(VB6)on vascular endothelial injury of atherosclerosis(AS)mice and its mechanism.Methods Thirty-six ApoE-/-mice were randomly divided into control group,AS group,VB6 group,AS+LiCl group,AS+VB6 group and AS+VB6+LiCl group,with 6 mice in each group.The mice in the AS group,AS+LiCl group,AS+VB6 group and AS+VB6+LiCl group were fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks to establish the AS model;the mice in the control group and VB6 group were given regular diet and normal drinking water for 12 weeks.After 12 weeks,the mice in the control group were given conventional diet and the same volume of physiological saline as the VB6 group daily by gavage;the mice in the VB6 group were given routine diet and VB6(50 mg·kg-1)by gavage daily;the mice in the AS+LiCl group were given high-fat diet continuously and LiCl(1 mg·kg-1)by gavage daily;the mice in the AS+VB6 group were given high-fat diet continuously and VB6(50 mg·kg-1)by gavage daily;the mice in the AS+VB6+LiCl group were given high-fat diet continuously and VB6(50 mg·kg-1),LiCl(1 mg·kg-1)by gavage daily;all mice were intervened for 4 weeks.After intervention,the serum nitric oxide(NO),malondialdehyde(MD A)levels and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity of mice in each group were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphology of thoracic aortic tissue of mice in each group and the percentage of AS plaque area to total vascular area was calculated.The vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta was detected by isolated vascular ring experiment.The expression of sodium/hydrogen exchanger 1(NHE1)protein in thoracic aorta was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the control group,the NO level and SOD

significantly higher than that in the AS+VB6 group(P<0.05).In the control group,the vascular endothelium of mice was smooth with orderly arrangement of cells;in the AS group,AS+LiCl group and AS+VB6+LiCl group,the tissue structure of vascular of mice was disordered and the vascular endothelium was rough;in the VB6 group and AS+VB6 group,the vascular wall structure of mice was normal,the vascular endothelium was smooth,and the cells were arranged orderly.The vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by acetylcholine(Ach)in the AS group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by Ach between the VB6 group and the control group(P>0.05).The vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by Ach in the AS+VB6 group was significantly lower than that in the AS group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by Ach between AS+LiCl group,AS+VB6+LiCl group and AS group(P>0.05).The vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by Ach in the AS+VB6+LiCl group was significantly higher than that in the AS+VB6 group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the vasodilatation rate of thoracic aorta of mice induced by sodium nitroprusside among the six groups(P>0.05).The percentage of NHE1 expression in the thoracic aorta of mice in the AS group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in the percentage of NHE1 expression in the thoracic aorta of mice between the VB6 group and the control group(P>0.05).The percentage of NHE1 expression in the thoracic aorta of mice in the AS+VB6 group was significantly

group(P>0.05).The percentage of NHE1 expression in the thoracic aorta of mice in the AS+VB6+LiCl group was significantly higher than that in the AS+VB6 group(P<0.05).Conclusion VB6 can improve vascular endothelial injury in AS mice via inhibiting the expression of NHE1 protein.
