Objective:To verify the applicability of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging(DCE-MRI)to evaluate the breast cancer therapy using the high intensity focused uhrasound(HIFU).Methods:Both DCE-MRI and conventional T_1W/T_2W images were acquired for the total 8 subjects.Two consecutive scans were performed for every patient(before operation and 2 weeks after operation)while four were performed for only 2 patients(additional for 6 months and 12 months after operation).The breast cancer therapy by HIFU was assessed hy comparing the changes of signal,the dynamic patterns of time-signal intensity curve,the early-phase contrast enhancement ratios and vessel anatomies around cancer focuses.Results: The shortened T_2 signals were observed in cancer focuses of 5 subjects while 3 still showed longer T_2 values which were differentiated by the high intensity in T_2W images.The early-phase contrast enhancement ratios of those 5 subjects decreased from 60%～80% to

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of different parameters for neonatal sepsis by observing clinical presentations and laboratory tests of hospitalized newborn infants and to find out the the early and fast way in neonatal sepsis diagnosis. Methods Newborn infants admitted to NICU from Sept.2007 to Feb.2008,who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria,were enrolled.The situations in perinatal period,exact time of the onset of infection,clinical manifestations and laboratory indexes were recorded.Infants were classified into 3 groups:septic group(n=13),nonseptic group(n=12) and noninfectious group(n=12).Sensitivity,specificity,false positive rate,false negative rate,Youden's index and positive and negative predictive values(PPV and NPV) were calculated for each test. Receiver-operating characteristic curves were analyzed to determine the optimal thresholds. Results Among all the clinical manifestations,abnormal reaction had the hightest specificity(84.6%) and accuracy(67.9%) in diagnosing neonatal sepsis.SIRS criteria,with the specificity of 95.8%,was helpful in clinical suspected eases.However,routine laboratory tests,such as WBC,PLT and GLU,had poor sensitivity or specificity;I/T had better specificity(100%),but was subject to discrepancy among different observers.The area under the ROC for CRP and PCT were 0.734 and 0.878,with the optimal threshold of 15 mg/L(P=0.020,Youden's index=45.5%) and 0.81 ng/ml(P-0.000,specificity=100%,Youden's index=75.0%),respectively.Conclusions Careful clinical inspection warrants early detection of sick infants.Evaluation of SIRS criteria in clinical suspected septic infants may help in early diagnosis.WBC,I/T,PLT can be used as routinely monitoring indexes for high risk neonates.CRP and PCT concentrations also have significant diagnostic values.

Objective:To investigate the effects of soluble factors secreted by MCF-7 breast cancer cells on the differentiation,maturation and function of DCs.Methods:Mononuclear cells were cultured with the culture supernatants from primary MCF-7 cells.Combination of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF),interleukin 4(IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) was used to stimulate the cultured mononuclear cells.Then DCs and CTL assays were analyzed.Results:MCF-7 cell supernatant-treated DCs resulted in low expression of CD80,CD83,CD86 and HLA-DR,and the inhibition rate of CTL was 17.35% significantly lower than 56.14% induced by the control DCs(P＜0.01).IL-12 secreted by DCs and IFN-γ produced by PBMNC were all significantly lower than those in the control group (P＜0.01).Conclusion:Experiments in vitro shows that the culture supernatants from MCF-7 breast cancer cells could inhibit the development and functions of DCs.

AIM: To investigate the effect of adrenomedullin on the fibrogenic action of TGF? 1 and the cellular mechanism in renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). METHODS: Total collagen synthesis and secretion were reflected by -proline incorporation and the radioactivity of -hydroproline in the culture medium; ELISA method was used to detect the level of secreted fibronectin (FN); the expression of FN mRNA, collagen IV mRNA and TIMP-1mRNA were determined by RT-PCR; western blot was used to detect the expression of Smad2 and Smad6 proteins. RESULTS: (1) AM could antagonize the expression of collagen and FN stimulated by TGF? 1 in both transcription and translation level; (2) AM down-regulated the TGF? 1-induced TIMP-1 mRNA expression; (3) AM had no effect on the over-expression of Smad2 stimulated by TGF? 1; but could up-regulate the expression of Smad6 inhibited by TGF? 1. CONCLUSION: AM could antagonize the fibrogenic effect of TGF? 1 through up-regulating Smad6 expression in HK-2 cell line.

Intra-vital organ transplantation is an advanced medical technique for the treatment of patients with terminal stage organ failures.However,related ethical issues arise with the development and application of the technique.Some research has been done on relevant ethical issues in intra-vital organ transplantation with certain ethical principles and regulations arisen,which are discussed in this article.

Objective: To evaluate the nutritional markers in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: We examined SGA, dietary diaries, direct anthropometry, biochemical indices in 90 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Then, the normalized protein equivalent of total nitrogen appearance (nPNA), lean body mass (LBM) and %LBM were calculated. Results: These patients were classified to three nutritional categories based on SGA (i.e. normal nutrition, mild to moderate malnutrition, severe malnutrition). The dietary protein intake(DPI), dietary energy intake(DEI), serum albumin(Alb), nPNA, LBM and %LBM were significantly different among three groups (P

Objective To acknowledge the psychological authority status under the foundation of autho0rization management,in order to analyze the effectiveness of authorization management.Methods 364 clinical nurses were investigated with Psychological Empowerment Scale and the results were performed statistic analysis through descriptive statistical method and variance analysis.Results The average score of clinical nurses was(3.22±0.70),which was at the moderate point.The four dimensional scores listed in descending order were self efficient,career significance,autonomy and job influence.Clinical nurses of different ages,different ranking,different working period,different marriage status had statistical outstanding variance.But nurses of different education background showed no significant difference in score of each dimension.Conclusions The nursing management shall not only focus on the authorization management itself,but also on the psychological authority status of clinical nurses.Through an efficacious incentive,we can enhance the psychological recognition and experience on authorization and activate the working motivation,maximize the working initiative and thus promote the innovation and expansion of nursing work.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a public health issue worldwide.A recent cross-sectional survey revealed that the prevalence of CKD in residents aged 18 years or older was 10.8％,indicating the challenge of CKD in China.The major indicators of kidney damage include estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),proteinuria and hematuria.It is recommended that laboratory should report eGFR when reporting results of blood creatinine.Both of Chinese equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation could be used.The process of creatinine measurement should be standardized.For evaluation of proteinuria,urinary creatinine should also be measured when using spot urine sample.Considering the high false positive rate and low false negative rate of urine routine test for hematuria,it is recommended that microscopic examination on urinary sediment should be done for those with positive hematuria by urine routine test.(Chin J Lab Med,2012,35:769-772)

Objective To study the effect of letrozole plus metformin on infertility of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods According to the digital table,90 patients with infertility of PCOS were randomly divided into the control group(n =45 cases) and the treatment group(n =45 cases).The patients of the control group were treated though clomiphene,while the patients of the treatment group were treated though letrozole plus metformin.The ovulation rate,pregnancy rate,sex hormones and insulin resistance were detected.Results The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was (5.72 ± 2.37) before treatment and (3.16 ± 1.39) after treatment in the treatment group.HOMA-IR was (5.69 ± 2.40) before treatment and (4.81 ± 2.06) after treatment in the control group.There was a significantly decrease in the treatment group (t =3.7246,P ＜ 0.05).The ovulation rate was 80％ in the treatment group,while 60％ in the control group,the difference between the two groups was significant(x2 =4.06,P ＜0.05).The pregnancy rate was 48.9％ in the treatment group,while 28.9％ in the control group,the difference between the two groups was significant (x2 =5.77,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Letrozole plus metformin could promote the ovulation and decrease insulin resistance.
