Purpose To explore the diagnostic value of multiple image technique derived from dual-energy CT in arterial+parenchymal phase scan mode in detecting pancreatic adenocarcinoma so as to provide more valuable information for clinical treatment.Materials and Methods Thirty two patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma proved pathologically underwent dual-phase scan with dual-source CT.Linear blend image,non-linear blend image and iodine map were acquired.The absolute enhancement value of tumor (AEV),the relative enhancement value of tumor (REV),enhancement ratio (ER) of tumor to pancreatic parenchyma,and the image contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were also calculated,so that the diagnostic value and the ability image in two phases to display the pancreatic adenocarcinoma lesions could be assessed.Results On arterial phase,the differences in AEV,REV and CNR value were significant among the three groups images (P<0.05).On parenchymal phase,the difference in REV,ER,and CNR value were also significant among the three groups (P<0.05).When the three sequences on the 2 phases were compared with each other,the differences in AEV and REV value of tumor tissues were significant among the groups (P<0.05).Moreover,the differences of ER value in linear blend image and CNR in the iodine map were significant in dual phase enhancement (P<0.05).Conclusion Dualenergy CT enhanced scan mode on dual phase combined with multiple sequences can improve the sensitivity in detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma lesions.

Objective To test the effects of Vitamin D (VitD) on endothelial nitric oxide(NO) production and to study the signal pathway leading to NO release.Methods In vitro cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with various concentrations of VitD(0 mmol/L,0.01 mmol/L,0.10 mmol/L,1.00 mmol/L,10.00 mmol/L) for 60 min,and VitD at concentration of 1.00 mmol/L at different time points (30 min,60 min,90 min,120 min).The effect of VitD on NO production in presence of VitD receptor(VDR) agonist(ZK191784) or antagonist(ZK159222) for 60 min were examined in cell culture supernatant with kit for the detection of nitric oxide fluorescent probe(DAF-FM DA).HUVEC was cultured with VitD in presence of VDR agonist or antagonist for 60 min,and the effect of VitD on NO production with DAF-FM DA and the protein expression and phosphorylation of Caveolin-1 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) were detected by Western blot,respectively.Results VitD caused a concentration-dependent increase in NO production.The maximum effect was observed at a concentration of 1.0 mmol/L and the optimal time of stimulation was 60 min.Effects induced by VitD were enhanced by VDR agonist,and abolished by antagonist.VitD and VDR agonist maintained the expression of Caveolin-1 at the same low phosphorylation level the same as normal,increased the phosphorylated level of eNOS.However,VDR antagonist increased the phosphorylation of caveolin-l,but reduced the level of eNOS phosphorylation,respectively.Conclusions VitD can induce a significant increase in endothelial NO production through VDR.VitD interaction with VDR causes the low phosphorylation of caveolin-1 leading to eNOS activation and NO production.

MethodsMTT assay was used to test the proliferation and the LAK-like cytotoxicity. Flow cytometry assay was used to test the expression of ICAM-1, Fas and erbB2 receptors in tumor cells and the expression levels of CD molecules FasL and LFA-1 in human PBMC. Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC)mediated by HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells was explored hv LDH release assay. Results The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI were upregulated, from 24.85% and 0.53% to 85.36% and 59.19% respectively, while the expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI were downregulated, from 98.48%, 42.60% and 36.66% to 94.01%,30.95% and 12.36% respectively. HFI could significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC, and CD3+ CD8+ T cells and CD3- CD16+ CD56+ NK cells were elevated, from 24.37% and 6.90% to 38.80% and 13.45% respectively. The expression levels of CD25, LFA-1 and FasL were significantly enhanced from 3.99%, 86.52% and 5.02% to 12.96%, 99.06% and 16.19%. The LAK-like cytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against SKOV3, MCF-7,SGC-7901 tumor cells was significantly improved:HFI was effective in mediating ADCC against SKOV3,MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells which expressed high,medium and low levels of erbB2,respectively,and HFI-induced ADCC was correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells. Conclusion The expression levels of ICAM-1 and Fas on SKOV3 cell treated with HFI are significantly upregulated. The expression levels of erbB2 on SKOV3, MCF-7 and SGC-7901 tumor cells treated with HFI are downregulated. HFI can significantly enhance the proliferation activity of human PBMC. The LAK-like eytotoxicity of human PBMC treated with HFI against tumor cells is significantly enhanced. HFI iS effective in mediating ADCC and the activity of HFI-induced ADCC is correlated with the degrees of erbB2 expression on the tumor cells.

Objective To compare the effects of 2 vascular carriers, arteriovenous loop and arteri-ovenous bundle, on inducing angiogenesis in coral scaffold of vascularized tissue-engineered bone in animal models.Methods Thirty-six adult male New Zealand rabbits were randomized into 2 even groups.In group A, an arteriovenous loop (AVL) was formed by microsurgical anastomosis at the proximal ends between the femoral poptiteal artery and vein, and placed in the circular side groove of the coral block (6 mm × 8 mm × 10 mm) .In group B, flow-through vessels bundles of both femoral artery and vein were placed in the side grooves of the coral block.All the implants in 2 groups were wrapped by a micro-porous expand-ed-polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, and fixed subcutaneously by suturing.Evaluation methods included gross morphological observations, histological examinations, India ink perfusion and vascular casting after 2, 4, 6 weeks.The density of blood vessels was analyzed by the statistical software SPSS 10.0.Results All the corals were encased by newly formed fibrovascular tissues in 2 groups.Ink-stained vessels distributed the surfaces and side grooves, and invaded the interspaces of corals.The degree of vascularization increased over the course of experiment.Blood vessel density demonstrated a significant continuous increase between 2 and 6 weeks after implantation in group A.The mean value of blood vessel density in group A (2 weeks 276.60±4.67, 4 weeks 517.20±10.66, 6 weeks 707.00 ±11.87) was significantly higher than in group B (2 weeks 153.60 ±7.16, 4 weeks 269.40±6.80, 6 weeks 279.20±6.53) (P <0.01).Vascular casting showed that in group A, significant blood vessels sprouted from all areas of the loop, espe-cially at the entrance of the arteriovenous pediele where the small tubes were densely interconnected.In group B, however, no blood vessels sprouted from the arteriovenous bundles and only some small vessels grew from the entrance and exit.Conclusions A vascularized coral model can be constructed by inserting an ar-teriovenous loop or an arteriovenous bundle, useful in vascular bone tissue engineering.The former, however, have stronger abilities to induce angiogenesis than the latter.

Aim ADS-J1 is a low molecular HIV entry inhibitor targeting HIV transmembrane subunit gp41 through virtual screening from a compound library containing 20 000 molecules.This study is to investigate the binding sites of ADS-J1 on gp41.Methods Acid native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (AN-PAGE) assay was applied to test the binding ability of ADS-J1 with the peptides derived from gp41 N-terminal heptad repeat (NHR) region.Results It was reported previously that ADS-J1 could block the gp41 six-helix bundle (6-HB) formation using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (N-PAGE).However,the binding sites could not be found because positive charged N-peptides derived from gp41 NHR could not show bands on the gel.In the present study,the AN-PAGE assay which could show N-peptides in the gel was established,and it was found that ADS-J1 could inhibit the gp41 6-HB formation.Moreover,ADS-J1 bound directly to the gp41 cavity region of NHR.The positively charged residue (K574) located in this region was critical for the binding of ADS-J1.Conclusions ADS-J1 inhibits HIV entry by targeting the cavity region of gp41 NHR,whereas K574 in the cavity plays a critical role for the binding.Furthermore,the AN-PAGE assay provides a simple method for studying the mechanism of action of virus entry inhibitors targeting the transmembrane protein of type I enveloped virus.
