Objective To explore MRI features of spinal canal enterogenous cysts.Methods The MRI features and differential diagnosis of 5 patients with spinal canal enterogenous cysts proved by surgery and pathology were reviewed retrospectively in combination with literature review.Results Of 5 cases,the cysts localized at cervical spine in 2,lumbar spine in 1,lumbosacral spine in 1 and the end of coccyx between rectum and cuticulum in 1.4 cysts were located at subdura,including anterior to the spinal cord in 3 and posterior to the spinal cord in 1.1 cyst located the end of coccyx between rectum and cuticulum was uncommunicated with spinal canal and 1 case associated with diastematomyelia.The spinal cords were compressed and displaced.The cysts were iso or slightly hyperintensity compared to CSF on T1WI,and similar intensity to CSF on T2WI.The cysts had no markedly enhancement on contrast-enhanced MR scan.Conclusion MRI has important value in diagnosing spinal enterogenous cysts.

Objective To compare cardiac output continuously measured by transesophageal echocardiograph (TEE)with Flotrac /Vigileo system.Methods Thirty -six patients,aged 30 -60years,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ⅠorⅡscheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH )were included in this study.The radial artery puncture on the left connecting the Flotrac /Vigileo system monitoring was established before anesthesia and ultrasonic probe was inserted into the esophagus after anesthesia induction.The depth of the probe was located at the middle esophagus with monitoring of transesophageal echocardiography(tee).At the same time the value of CO after anesthesia,before and after pneumoperitoneum were recorded and the application of SPSS 13.0 software package for statistical analysis was made.Monadic linear correlation and regression analysis were both used in measured CO. Results Each point,the determination of transesophageal echocardiography(tee)between the CO and the determination of the Flotrac /Vigileo CO,had high correlation(r =0.850,P =0.002).The CO at the time of T2 monitored by TEE group and Flotrac /Vigileo group were (3.3 ±0.2)L/min,(3.2 ±0.2)L/min,which were significantly lower than (5.6 ±0.3)L/min,(5.4 ±0.3)L/min(t =2.248,2.178,P =0.032,0.029).But there were no statistically significant differences at other time respectively(tT =0.102,0.199,0.201,0.124,0.198,PT =0.918,0.887,0.894, 0.908,0.898;tF =0.098,0.189,0.214,0.119,0.112,PF =0.953,0.874,0.898,0.913,0.932).Conclusion The correlation of CO monitored by transesophageal echocardiography(tee)and Flotrac /Vigileo was good,which can be safely and efficiently used in intraoperative monitoring of patients.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell apoptosis during liver cold ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)in rats. Methods Thirty-two SPF healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were divided into 2 groups(n=16 each)using a random number table:sham operation group(group S)and liver cold I/R group(group I/R).In group I/R,the liver was perfused through the portal vein with 4 ℃ lactated Ringer′s solution 6-8ml/min for 30min after liver ischemia,and the liver blood flow was restored after the end of perfusion. At 6 h of reperfusion in group I/R or at 6 h after peritoneum closure in group S,blood samples from the inferior vena cava were collected for determination of serum alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase concentrations. After blood sampling,liver tissues were obtained for examination of pathological changes and for determination of malondialdehyde content(by thiobarbituric acid method),superoxide dismutase activity(using xanthine oxidase method),cell apoptosis(using TUNEL),expression of endoplasmic reticulum protein 46(ERP46),immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein(BiP)and caspase-12(by immunohistochemistry),and expression of ERP46,BiP and caspase-12 mRNA(using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction).The pathological changes were scored. Apoptosis rate was calculated. Results Compared with group S,the serum alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase concentrations,pathological scores,malondialdehyde content and apoptosis rate were significantly increased,the activity of superoxide dismutase was decreased,and the expression of ERP46,BiP and caspase-12 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group I/R(P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of cell apoptosis during liver cold I/R may be related to excessive activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in rats.

The plysical and chemical characteristics of recombinant human GM - CSF (rhGM - CSF) were studied separatly. rhGM - CSF was treated by GdHCl, reduced by DTT, and the disulfide bond was blocked by idoacetamide. The results showed that the samples aren' t homogeneous in UV absorption spectrum and RP-HPLC analysis after treatment by DTT. There was no remarkable differences in the results of the analysis of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and western blot between treated and untreated rhGM - CSF samples. The effect of GdHCl on GM-CSF was reversible in all above tests; In peptide mapping analysis, the digestion of the samples with blocked disulfide bond by CNBr and protease is more complete than that without any treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of integrons in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from blood samples in Peking University People′s Hospital and to analyze the correlation between integrons and drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.METHODS Forty-two strains of clinically isolated P.aeruginosa were collected.The antibiotics susceptibility was tested by K-B methods.Integrase gene of integron was amplified by PCR using degenerate primers.The integrons were classified by restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis of positive PCR products with Hinf Ⅰ restriction enzyme.RESULTS The drug-resistance rates of 42 strains of P.aeruginosa against 20 kinds of antibiotics ranged from 9.5% to 100%.Twenty-three strains were resistant to 12 kinds of antibiotics.Nineteen of the 42 isolates(45.2%) contained integrons,all of which were revealed as class Ⅰ of integrons by RFLP analysis.Neither class Ⅱ nor class Ⅲ of integron was detected.The positive percentage of integrons was increased by years.CONCLUSIONS Class Ⅰ integrons are widespread in isolates from blood samples in our hospital.The presence of integrons is closely associated with multi-drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.
