Objective　To assess the value of real-time myocardial contrast enhancement imaging (real-time MCE) on acute myocardial infarction.Methods　Eight open-chest canine models of myocardial infarction were established by ligating left anterior descent branch of coronary artery (LAD) on level after first diagonal branch. The real-time MCE, using intravenous instillation of a new kind of Perfluorocarbon contrast agent， were performed before the occlusion, 1 hour and 3 hours after the occlusion. The myocardial contrast agents perfusion and wall motion was observed on the middle of papillary muscles scan plane.Results　The real-time MCE showed not only the black aridity of contrast agents but also the wall motion abnormality 1 hour and 3 hours after the occlusion. In comparison with pathology, the defects of contrast perfusion were larger than the stained infarction zones. In addition, the flash contrast imaging revealed the reperfusion defect of adjacent zones.Conclusions　With the ability of showing the myocardial microcirculation and wall motion function simultaneously, the real-time MCE makes MCE exam significantly easier to perform. Finally, flash contrast imaging will be the cornerstone upon which perfusion quantification will be built.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the generalization of automatic unit-dose tablet sorting and counting machine (ATM) in hospital pharmacy. METHODS: The preparative work and the working procedure of the ATM were introduced, and the advantages, the causes of medication errors and the problems related to the application of the ATM were analyzed. RESULTS: ATM helped to enhance the dispensing efficiency, improve the sanitation of drugs, ensure drug safety to great extent and improve the drug control. However, sometimes it might bring about medication errors. 236 (0.48%) of the total 49 059 medical orders analyzed in our study were found to be of medication errors. CONCLUSIONS: ATM has great application value. The wide use of ATM is consistent with the tendency of pharmacy automation, yet its use remains to be further improved.

Objective To construct a programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) co-expression network in lung squamous cell carcinoma,screen potential PD-L1 co-expression biomarkers,and try to find the genes and pathways participating in PD-L1-regulated tumor immune response.Methods The lung squamous cell carcinoma dataset extracted from TCGA was used to screen the co-expression genes of PD-L 1 at the whole-genome transcriptional level by Venny analysis,and the target genes were screened by multiple types of cluster and molecular network analysis to construct a PD-L1 co-expression network.Results A total of 126 genes moderately co-expressed with PD-L1 were retrieved,most of them are plasma membrane targeting genes participating in immune response.Three transcription factors (IRF2/NFKB1/IRF1) were involved in more than 30％ the regulation of the PD-L1 genes transcription.By screening the core molecules of co-expression of PD-L1 gene set and analyzing the connectivity of network node,6 network nodes genes with the highest connectivity were retrieved as follows:IFNG,JAK2,STAT1,CTLA4,CD80 and CCR5.Analysis of the relations of the different expression levels of these genes to the survival situation of patients with lung cancer revealed that CCR5 was a significant prognostic marker.Analysis of the PD-L1 expression and CCR5 gene spectrum data showed the Pearson correlation coefficient is 0.47(P＜0.05);GO-BP cluster analysis showed that the function of CCR5 mainly focused on immune regulation,T cell regulation and signal transduction,in accordance with the PD-L1 function of network regulation.Conclusions The main nodes of PD-L1 co-expressing gene set are immune-related molecules,among which IFNG/CCR5/NFKB1 play the most significant regulatory effects in the gene network.This finding lays a foundation for the research and immunotherapy for lung squamous cell carcinoma.

PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis) is a recently discovered Bcl-2 family member which could be rapidly induced by p53 and has strong pro-apoptotic effects.PUMA has attracted much attention in the research of life science.PUMA expression results in potent growth suppression of some cancer cells through induction of apoptosis.PUMA can also significantly sensitize some cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents and irradiation through induction of apoptosis.PUMA is potentially useful in gene therapy of tumor.But recently,researchers have also found that PUMA participates in the process of carcinogenesis and possessed important biological functions.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of metastasis associated gene 1 (MTA1) on epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods Lentivirus infection method was used to establish the MTA1 knocking out cell line (LV3-shMTA1-KYSE410) and the MTA1 overexpressing cell line (LVS-MTA1-KYSE450).Western Blot was used to measure the expression of MTA1 and the proteins associated with EMT process.Furthermore,the expression and localization of E-cadherin and Vimentin were observed by immunofluorescence assay under confocal microscope.Finally,the wound healing method was performed to confirm the changes of migration ability of the established cell lines.Results When KYSE-450 cells were overexpressed MTA1,the expression level of E-cadherin was down-regulated while Vimentin was up-regulated,and the migration ability was enhanced (0.91 ± 0.00 vs.0.23 ± 0.04,P ＜0.05).When MTA1 was knocked out in KYSE-410 cells,the results were the opposite (0.19±0.01 vs 0.53±0.01,P ＜0.05).Conclusion Overexpression of MTA1 may promote the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and enhance the migration ability of ESCC.
