Mean flow rate (MFR) ,vocal intensity (I) ,pitch frequency(P) ,pitch perturbation (PP) and vocal efficiency (I/F) were measured simutaneously during sustained phonation of the vowel [i] at wide range levels of intensities in 158 nor mal subjects and the same parameters were measured at moderate vocal intensity level in 136 patients with various kinds of laryngeal diseases. PP indicates the amount of irregular vibration of vocal folds and I/F represents efficient transition from MFR to acoustic energy. When phonation at different intensities ,MFR,P and I/F increase but PP decreases when I increases. At moderate intensity phonation, there are positive correlations between MFR and I,and between I and P but negative correlation between MFR and I/F,between I(male) and PP,and between P(fe-male) and PP.Most of the patients with laryngeal diseases showed higher MFR and PP but lower I/F than normal subjects.MFR, PP and I/F could be used as objective and quantitative parameters with I and P as reference parameters in assessing laryngeal function of phonation.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the radiation dose caused by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in PET/CT examination and to optimize the concerned radiation protection. Methods Thirty patients from our conventional PET/CT examination were simple randomly selected, and they all underwent whole body PET/CT imaging. The radioactive dose of injected 18F-FDG was recorded. The internal radiation dose was calculated and the external radiation dose from patients was measured with the 451P-DE-SI ion chamber survey meter. The staff's dose was recorded with thermoluminescent detector (TLD). All dosimetry data were processed and analyzed statistically with Excel 2003. Results The injected radioactive dose of 18F-FDG was (432.9±51.8) MBq, and effective dose equivalent received per patient was (8.23±0.99) roSy. The correlation coefficient (r) of the dose equivalent rate and distance was-0.994 by power function curve fitting, and that of dose equivalent rate and time was - 0.988 by exponential curve fitting. The staff's dose was lower than the annual dose limit. Conclusions The patient's internal radiation dose caused by 18F-FDG in PET/CT examination is low, nonetheless, the clinician should always consider optimizing and minimizing the necessary radiation received by the patients. The patients having been injected with 18F-FDG should stay in one place to decrease their radiation to the public. From the medical point of view in optimizing radiation exposure, there may still be a potential to lower the injected 18F-FDG activity.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinicopathological significance of CXCR4 and HIF-1α protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and explore their correlation.Methods The expression of CXCR4 and HIF-1α protein were assessed by immunohistochemistry SP method in 56 cases with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and in 20 cases with surrounded normal tissue.Results The expressions of CXCR4 and HIF-lα in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in normal tissues[62.50 % (35/56) vs 10.00 % (2/20); 57.14 % (32/56) vs 0(0/20)](x2=16.259,19.740,P <0.01).The expression of CXCR4 and HIF-1α were both correlated with invasion depth (x2 =4.736,7.665,P <0.05) and lymph node metastasis ( x2 =7.207,6.389,P <0.05),and had no correlation with cancer cell differentiation.The expressions of CXCR4 and HIF-lα in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were positively correlated (r =0.298,P <0.05).Conclusion CXCR4 and HIF-1α are highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.The two have a close relation to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth,invasion and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of C4d deposition in peritubular capillary (PTC)in chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) on prognosis and intervention of renal transplantation recipients. Methods All the cases who received the renal graft biopsy due to diagnosis of CAN from January 2000 to August 2008, and had the 2-year follow-up data were included in the study. The clinical data were analyzed according to the C4d deposition in PTC. Results Among 86 cases 39 cases were C4d positive (C4d+ group) and the remaining 47 cases were negative (C4d group). There was no significant difference in sex, age, donor source, transplant times, time after biopsy, the panel reactive antibodies (PRA) level between two groups (P>0. 05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine (Scr) and 24 h urinary protein between two groups (P>0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, graft loss rate and urinary protein levels in C4d+group were significantly higher than in C4d- group (P<0. 05). Before intervention, the incidence of blood lipid disorder and hypertension was higher in C4d- group (P < 0. 05 ), but no significant difference was found in uric acid and blood sugar levels (P>0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, there was no significant difference in blood glucose, uric acid, blood pressure and lipid profile (eliminating renal lost cases) between two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The patients with CAN and C4d+ means the involvement of chronic humoral rejection and have poor clinical results. Effective intervention against humoral immune response can improve renal allograft survival.

Objective To understand the blood pressure level of the aged in longevous area of Yunnan Province. Methods According to the forth census information,typical multistaged sample-survey was used for 15 counties (cities) with centenarians over 1/100 000 and the 3 counties (cities) with centenarians under 1/100 000. The blood pressure of people aged 60 and over were measured and the investigation questionnaire was filled in. Results The overall level of the blood pressure was systolic pressure (130.8?24.6) mm Hg and diastolic pressure (81.7?14.6) mm Hg. The systolic pressure increased in slow slope with the age growing, ranged 126.2-137.6 mm Hg, and higher in male than in female. The diastolic pressure was not affected by age growing. The difference of blood pressure in nationality was mainly affected by the latitude and the elevation. Conclusions With the age increasing, the blood pressure level of the aged people gradually increases.

AIM:To investigate the effect of pretreatment of stem cell factor(SCF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) on the proliferation and the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) into cardiomyogenic cells.METHODS:The MSCs,isolated primarily from bone marrow,and purified by passage culture,were obtained from the adult rats of four groups:the rats were pretreated by 5 daily injections of SCF;the rats were pretreated with G-CSF;the rats were pretreated with SCF and G-CSF;the rats were treated without any intervention.The 4th passage of MSCs was labeled by DAPI and cellular cycle analysis was conducted by flow cytometry before co-culture.The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes cultured for 3 days were co-cultured with DAPI-MSCs.The percentage of the differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyogenic cells during the five co-culture days was analyzed.The morphologic changes of MSCs and the proteins expression of cardiac myosin heavy chain(MHC) and troponin T(TnT) were recorded respectively with digital microscope camera system and immunofluorescence technique.The percentage of the differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyogenic cells was also calculated.RESULTS:The percentage of MSCs in G0/G1 phase in SCF/G-CSF group was significantly lower than that in SCF group,G-CSF group and the control group.The percentage of MHC protein-positive MSCs in SCF/G-CSF group was markedly higher than that in SCF group,G-CSF group and the control group,and that in SCF group and G-CSF group was significantly higher than control group.The percentage of TnT protein-positive MSCs in SCF/G-CSF group,SCF group and G-CSF group was significantly higher than that in control group.CONCLUSION:SCF and G-CSF show the ability to stimulate the proliferation of MSCs and induce MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocytes.The combination of using SCF and G-CSF is more effective than using only SCF or G-CSF.
