Chinese Medical Equipment Journal 2003;0(11):-
Following with the naissance and the development of the DICOM(the Digital Image Communication in Medicine) protocol,and numerous medical image equipments factory's support to the DICOM protocol,PACS(picture archiving and communication systems)are popularized quickly in hospital image section room,which pushes the progress of PACS industry.Hospitals have always been certain blindness in ushering and arguing PACS systems,uncertain how to control those providing company exactly on the technique.In this paper,some key problems are introduced in order to make everyone understand the relevant technique.

Teacher is called as the engineer of human souls,and the guide for college students' growth,medical teachers' level of professional ethics has a direct impact on the quality of medical talents.To cope with the moral imbalance in the new economic interests,ideological and moral construction should be strengthened and a Chinese characterized system of teachers' professional ethics constructed.Teachers should be promote their function of role modeling,and cultivate their morality of "self discipline".Autonomic moral self-discipline should be strengthened,while the heteronomous role of morality further developed.

Aim To investigate the protection effect of icariin on isoproterenol induced neonatal rat cardiomyocytes injury.Methods Isolation of cardiomyocytes from Sprague-Dawley rats aging 1~3 d were performed.Cardiomyocytes were grown in DMEM culture medium containing 15% fetal bovine serum.The cell density was adjusted to 1?105~5?105 cells?L-1,and the suspension was pipetted into each well of culture plates.Cells were incubated at 37 ℃ in 5% CO_2 atmosphere for 72 h.Cultured rat cardiomyocytes were divided into different groups:control,0.5 mmol?L-1 isoproterenol(model),and therapeutic groups with 0.1,1 and 10 ?mol?L-1 icariin.Cell viability was analyzed using MTT assay.The potential of mitochondrial membrane was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.Apoptotic cells were detected by using flow cytometric analysis.Results Compared with the control group,the cell activity was lower in model group(P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Actinidia chinensis Planch polysaccharide (ACPS) on the growth and apoptosis of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, and to explore the effect of SGC-7901 cells on p-p38 expression.
METHODSThe inhibition rates at different concentrations of ACPS on SGC-7901 cells at 24, 48, and 72 h were detected using CCK-8 method. Apoptosis ratios in SGC-7901 were determined by flow cytometry after 48-h treatment of different concentrations of ACPS. The expression of pro-caspase-9, PARP, and p-p38 in SGC-7901 cells after treated by different concentrations of ACPS was detected using Western blot. The expression of pro-caspase-9, PARP, and p-p38 was detected after SGC-7901 cells were pre-treated by p38 specific inhibitor.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, the optical density of SGC-7901 cells decreased after treated by 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/mL ACPS (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the longer the acting time, the lower the optic density (P < 0.01). IC50 was 7.43 mg/mL at 24 h; 3.88 mg/mL at 48 h, and 1.32 mg/mL at 72 h respectively. ACPS suppressed the protein expression of pro-caspase-9 (P < 0.01) and up-regulated the expression of PARP (89KD) (both P < 0.01). Further study showed that the protein expression of p-p38 was up-regulated in SGC-7901 cells treated by ACPS of different concentrations at 24 h (P < 0.05). The expression of phosphorylation p38 and the ACPS induced apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells could be inhibited after treated by specific inhibitor for 2 h.
CONCLUSIONSACPS could inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cells and induce apoptosis. The underlying mechanism of inducing apoptosis was partially due to activating the p38MAPK path and further activating Caspase9 and PARP, finally leading to cell death.

Objective To investigate the value of diffusion weighted magnetie resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.MethodsThe clinical data of 36 patients with pancreatie cancer who were admitted to the Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital from March 2009 to June 2011 were retrospectively analyzed,and the clinical data of 30 healthy volunteers were collected.All candidates received diffusion weighted magnetie resonance imaging examination.The signal intensity ratios ( SIRs ) of the cancer and the pericancerous tissues in the T1 weighted-images (T1WI),T2 weighted-images (T2WI)and diffusion weighted-images (DWI) were compared by using one-way analysis of variance.The ADC values of the cancer and the paricancerous tissues were compared using the paired t test.The differences of the ADC values of the cancer and pericancerous tissues compared with those of healthy individuals were analyzed using an independent sample t test.ResultsThe accuracy rate of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging examination was 92%.The relative SIRs were 0.203 ± 0.190 in the T2 WI,0.399 ± 0.201 in the T1 WI and 0.579 ± 0.291 in the DWI,respectively,with no significant differences across the 3 kinds of images (F=5.92,6.15,6.83,P < 0.05 ),while SIRs of the T1 WI and DWI were significantly higher than that of the T2 WI ( P < 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in SIRs when comparing T1 WI and DWI ( P > 0.05 ).The mean ADC values of the cancer and pericancerous tissues of the pancreatic cancer patients and the pancreatic tissues of healthy individuals were (1.40±0.24) ×10 3 mm2/s,(1.71 ±0.10) ×10-3 mm2/s and (1.73±0.30) ×10-3 mm2/s,respectively,with significant differences across the 3 modes of images (t =10.54,12.08,P < 0.05).ConclusionDWI can show high quality images of the lesions,and ADC value is helpful in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum omentin-1 levels in obesity and essential hypertension patients and its related influencing factors. Methods One hundred and thirty patients with obesity admitted to the Cadre Health Care Department of Navy General Hospital from Jun. 2011 to Dec. 2013 were enrolled in this study. According to the blood pressure,130 obesity patients were divided into simple obesity group( n=64 )and obesity hypertension group( n=66 ). Sixty non obesity patients with normal blood pressure were enrolled as control group. Serum omentin-1 levels were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA). Association between omentin-1 and biochemical parameters( including systolic blood pressure( SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP),body mass index(BMI),waist hip ratio(WHR),fasting blood glucose(FBG), triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C),fasting insulin( FINS),insulin resistance index( HOMA-IR)and high sensitive C reactive protein(hs-CRP))were analyzed. Results Serum omentin-1 levels in control group was(26. 7 ± 5. 1)μg/L, significantly higher than that in simple obesity group and obesity hypertension group((22. 1 ± 3. 2)μg/L,(18. 3 ± 3. 4)μg/L;F=33. 7,P﹤0. 01),and serum omentin-1 levels in obesity hypertension group was significantly lower than that in simple obesity group( t =21. 5,P ﹤0. 05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum omentin-1 negatively correlated with BMI,WHR,SBP and HOMA-IR( r = - 0. 447,- 0. 340,- 0. 350,-0. 397;P﹤0. 01). There were no significant relations between omentin-1 and age,DBP,FBG,FBG,TG,TC, LDL-C,HDL-C,FINS and hs-CRP( P ﹥0. 05 ). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR, BMI and SBP were independent influencing factors of serum Omentin-1. Conclusion The serum omentin-1 level decreases in the obesity hypertension patients. Omentin-1 is negatively correlated with BMI,SBP,and HOMA-IR, which may contribute to the underlying pathophysiology of obesity and essential hypertension.
