Background and purpose:Anticancer mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)remains unclear.This study investigated the role of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)-induced apoptosis in human gastric cancer MGC803 cells.Methods:The inhibition of MGC803 cells growth was measured by MTT assay.Apoptosis of MGC803 cells was studied by using the AO/EB fluorescence stain.Flow cytometry was used to detect the intracellular ROS level and the rate of apoptosis.Results:EGCG could induce apoptosis of MGC803 cells and increased in the intracellular ROS level.However,after treatment with N-acetyl-L-cystein and an athiol-containing antioxidant,the inhibitory effect of EGCG on MGC803 cells was significantly weakened.The apoptotic rate of the cells and the activity of the intracellular ROS level also decreased dramatically.Conclusion:EGCG can induce apoptosis of MGC803 cells.In turn,the ROS inhibitor can significantly inhibit the apoptosis induced by EGCG in MGC803 cells.These results suggest that the cellular generation of ROS plays a role in initiating EGCG-mediated apoptosis of MGC803 cells.

Objective To study the correlation between the main parameters and the effect of repression in MR fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR).Methods 0.5 unit was used in this experiment.The protein aqua of different material appearance and concentration was prepared.FLAIR was performed using the tube imitative experimented method and with different paramters.The best scan parameters were selected by comparison each other and their relativity was analysed.Results The best technical parameters:TR=4000~5000 ms,TE=90~100 ms,TI=1800~2000 ms.Conclusion TI is the key parameter in determining the repression effect,TR and TE only determine the scans time and layer number.FLAIR's repress result is stable,and it can estimate the protein content in the protein aqua.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of colorectal large laterally spreading tumor. Methods ESD was applied to treat 150 cases of colorectal LST with diameter larger than 4 cm. The morphological features of LST, distribution, the clinicopathological data and the en-bloc resection rate, complete resection rate, complications were retrospectively evaluated. Results There were 87 patients with LST-granular lesions and 63 patients with LST-nongranular lesions. Colorectal LST mainly distributed in the rectum for 109 cases (72.7%), sigmoid colon for 13 cases (8.7%), descending colon for 5 cases (3.3%), transverse colon for 8 cases (5.3%), ascending colon for 13 cases (8.7%), cecum for 2 cases (1.3%). There were 23 patients with low-grade neoplasia, 104 patients with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, 7 with intramucosal carcinoma and 16 with submucosal carcinoma. The en-bloc resection rate and complete resection rate were 92.7% (139/150) and 89.3%(134/150). Adverse events were intra-operative bleeding in 12 patients (8.0%), postoperative bleeding in 2 patients (1.3%), perforation in 3 patients (2.0%), postoperative stenosis in 3 patients (2.0%). Conclusion Colorectal large LST-NG has higher potential for malignancy. ESD is a safe and effective method to provide en-bloc and complete resection of colorectal large LST.

Objective To investigate effect of Murphy's law on the nursing safety management of the hemodialysis patients. Methods 4598 hemodialysis cases in a blood purification center of a first class grade A hospital from April to July in 2011 was assigned as pre-implementation group.Then Murphy's law was used in the nursing practice.In the following,another 5683 hemodialysis cases from November in 2011 to January in 2012 were assigned as post-implementation group.The incidence of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures were compared between the two groups.Result The incidences of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures in the post-implementation group were significantly lower than those of the pre-implementation group(P<0.05).Conclusions Murphy’s law is effective for the declines of nursing manipulative defects and hemodialysis equipment failures.Besides,the law can be good for the strengthened awareness of safety and enhanced consciousness of all staff participating in the safety management so as to ensure the safety and quality of hemodialysis.

Objective To discuss the applied value of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) in evaluating emboliza-tion effect of transcatheterhepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE) for Hepatic Metastases. Methods DWI was performed in 17 Hepatic Metastases patients at the next day after TACE. Embolization effect was analyzed andcompared with DSA results. Results 17 lesions were revealed in DSA anA with complete iodinated oil accumulation,9with incomplete accumulation. 47 lesions were revealed in DWI and 33 with complete iodi, a oilaccumulation,9 with in-complete accumulation,5 without iodinated oil accumulation.The area of iodinated oll accumulation and necrosis appeared aslow signal on DWI,and residual tumor tissues appeared as high signal. Conclusion DWI may detect Hepatic Metastases lesions sensitivelyand can be used to evaluate the embolization effect of TACE.

Objective To discuss the applied value of MSCT in the interventional treatment of hepatic metastases (HMs). Methods 23 cases HMs were treated by interventional treatment before it MSCT plain scan was performed first,and then dual-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning and reconstruct angiography. Results 78 lesions were found by plain scan,and 102 lesions in the arterial phase and 105 lesions in the portal venous phase were found by contrast-enhanced scan,dynamic contrast-enhanced CT scanning was superior to detecting lesion of diameter <1cm (P<0.05). CT scanning showed that plain scan showed low-density foci; and according to the number of enhanced lesions,enhancede scanning showed enhancement for the edge of the ring,diffuse enhancement,heterogeneous enhancement,and no enhancement respecfly. Vascular remodeling showed that all eases could show the hepatic artery three grade below through MSCTA,eompletely conformed to the DSA,the indication rate was 100%;14 cases could show the hepatic artery four grade above,with 60.9% indication rate. Portal vein showed that all cases could show the branches of intrahepatic portal vein four grade below through MSCTA; DSA hepatic arteriography could show the portal vein indirectly,but most of the intrahepatic branches three grade below couldn't show clearly. Conclusion MSCT dynamic contrast-enhanced scan could improve the detection rate of HMs,and dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning was superior to the detection rate then plain scan,high-qulity imagy of hepatic artery and portal vein could be reconsructed by fast dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning,and compared with DSA,it had the advantage of operat more easily and non-invasive,so as be a guide in the interventional treatment of HMs.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of CT signs in the pathological Fuhrman grading of clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods The clinicopathological features and CT findings of 72 patients with ccRCC which confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.According to the WHO Fuhrman grading,all patients were divided into low-grade(Fuhrman gradeⅠorⅡ)or high-grade (Fuhrman gradeⅢorⅣ).ChiG square test and t-test were used to compare the clinical data and CT findings between the two groups,including morphological features (site,whether the renal medulla invasion,morphology,growth pattern,border,pseudo-envelope,lobulation sign,interface,perirenal fascia and the same lateral adrenal invasion,renal sinus and perirenal fat invasion,venous invasion,lymphadenopathy, maximum diameter),density (bleeding,necrosis ratio,calcification,fat)and enhancement characteristics (the degree of enhancement, strengthening method).And the pathological Fuhrman grading was the gold standard.The ROC was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of CT signs on Fuhrman grading.The Delong test was used to compare the AUC of different CT signs.Results There were significant differences in tumor maximum diameter,the renal medulla invasion,and lobulation sign between the Fuhrman low-grade and high-grade group(χ2/t＝－4.31 7,9.794,7.325,P＜0.05).There were no differences in gender,age,location sign,morphology,growth pattern, border,pseudo-envelope,interface,perirenal fascia and ipsilateral adrenal invasion,renal sinus and perirenal fat invasion,necrosis ratio,degree of enhancement,strengthening method between two groups (P＞0.05). The largest diameter of the tumor,the renal medulla invasion and the lobulation sign were useful for Fuhrman diagnosis.The AUC was 0.778,0.647 and 0.644,respectively.And there were significant differences between the maximum diameter and the renal medulla invasion or lobulation sign (P＜0.05).Conclusion The maximum diameter,medulla and lobular sign can predict the Fuhrman grading of ccRCC,and the maximum diameter prediction is the most accurate.
