Objective:To explore the value of different MRI sequences in the diagnosis of breast lesions. Methods:Using Philips Achieva 1.5T Nova Dual MRI with SENSE～ breast coil, MRI scanning was performed on 21 patients clinically suspected suffering from breast cancer. MRI sequences included T1WI/TSE,T2WI/TSE (turbo spin echo), short TI inversion recovery(STIR),diffusion weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scanning THRIVE. MRI findings were compared with histopathological results. Results:The detection rates of breast lesions of the five sequences were 53.85%, 65.38%, 80.77%, 88.46% and 100%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scanning were 100%, 77.78%, and 92.31% respectively, which were better than other sequences in the differential diagnosis of the lesions. Conclusion:Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scanning could accurately show the numbers of the lesions, describe the morph and size of the lesions and provide more information for the surgeons. DWIBS and STIR could detect the breast lesions more sensitively than T1WI/TSE and T2WI/TSE sequences.

Objective:To analyze the progress of the contracting service model in community health centers in the typical areas in China, and provide empirical evidence for the hierarchical system targeted to make first contact and orderly dual transfer. Methods: Purposive sampling was adopted. Twelve community health centers in Beijing, Shanghai , Zhengzhou and Chengdu areas where the general practitioner model was conducted earlier and set to be the representative one, were selected as the field survey sites. A thematic framework analysis was used to describe the key factors around the contacting service model. Results:This model was developed around the following key factors:using the general practice team as the main service provider, taking the patients with chronic diseases as the main contracting groups and extending to their family members with the number of contracted ranging around 1500~2000 , freely providing both essential public health and medical services, fully using the family physician room as the con-tracting service platform and highlighting the actively serving concept, building the financial and non-financial incen-tives, health insurance benefits and green transfer mechanisms in order to efficiently guarantee the contracting service development. Conclusions: Based on the information platform, the contracting service model in the sample sites played a great role in the appointment and referral services development as well as the self-health management among residents, improving the relationship between physicians and patients, and promoting the formation of orderly health service pursuing pattern.

Aim To construct a eukaryotic expression vector of human MCHR2 and to analyze the stable expression and signal transduction pathways of MCHR2 in CHO cells. Methods The full-length MCHR2 cDNA fragment was amplified by PCR from the human fetal brain cDNA library and inserted into eukaryotic expres-sion vector pcDNA3.1(+), resulted in the recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by the restriction enzymatic digestion and DNA sequencing analysis, and then transfected into CHO cells by lipofectamine. A stably-transfected cell line was obtained by the dominant G418 selection, and the expression of the MCHR2 gene on transcription and translation levels were identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Signal transduction pathways mediated by MCHR2 were analyzed by measurement of intracellular cAMP and calcium. Results The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2 was successfully constructed and the MCHR2 gene was stably transfected into CHO cells. A stably-transfected cell line was established and the MCHR2 gene was efficiently transcribed and translated. MCH stimulation had no effect on the production of cAMP, however, it could induce a clear and transient increase of intracellular calcium, suggesting that MCHR2 was only coupled to Gq protein. Conclusion The stable expression of MCHR2 and analysis of its signal transduction pathways in CHO cell line provided a solid experimental foundation for further studies on the function of the MCHR2 gene in vitro.
