A series of isoindoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their double inhibitory activities. All of them were new compounds, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HR-MS. Preliminary in vitro pharmacological tests showed that all compounds exhibited 5-HT or NE reuptake inhibition activity. Among the tested compounds, compound I-3 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5-HT and NE reuptake in vitro, and exhibited potent antidepressant activity in vivo. These compounds designed can be further optimized for finding more potent 5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibitors and antidepressant candidates as well.

Objective To establish VX2 hepatic carcinoma model in rabbits by implanting the tumor fragment into the liver through percutaneous puncture under ultrasound guidance and to observe its growing and metastatic characteristics, to determine the optimal time for interventional experiment study with the model. Methods Inoculation of VX2 carcinoma fragment was performed in 28 New Zealand white rabbits. PET/CT and ultrasonography (US) examinations were carried out in the second, third and forth week after the inoculation, and each time two tumor-bearing rabbits were sacrificed for pathologic study. Results The successful rate of model establishment was 89.28% (25/28). On PET or CT scans, single lesion in the liver was demonstrated in 25 rabbits. Two, three and four weeks after the inoculation, the maximum diameter of the tumor was (4.82±0.80) mm, (16.05±2.89) mm and (30.08±5.38) mm respectively, while the metastasis rates was 0% (0/25), 13.04% (3/23), 76.19% (16/21) respectively. No significant necrosis was found in the second week after inoculation, only tiny coagulation necrosis was revealed in the third week, and massive necrosis was seen in the forth week. Conclusion Percutaneous inoculation of the tumor fragment into the liver under ultrasonographic guidance is a simple method to establish VX2 hepatic carcinoma in rabbits with a high successful rate. The third week after inoculation is the suitable time for making interventional experiment study.

BACKGROUND:The most advanced and representative diagnosis techniques for perforating branch of blood vessels include digital subtraction angiography, CT, MRI and other imaging techniques. These methods can visualize blood vessels clearly and have a high precision, but there are some trauma and less popular.
OBJECTIVE:To apply high-frequency ultrasound for detection of thoracic dorsal artery and perforating branch, and provide a reference for preoperative design of thoracic dorsal artery perforating flap.
METHODFifteen patients candidate for thoracic dorsal artery perforating flap were included in this study. Before surgery, we used high-frequency ultrasound to detect the perforating branch, including vascular contorts, diameter, the location of the perforators and surface markers. The thick, superficial, paral el perforating branch was selected as the main blood vessels, to design and cur the skin flap.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the involved 15 cases, thoracic dorsal artery were derived from the subscapular artery, thoracic dorsal artery and its main branches, as wel as more than 1 mm main perforating branch in 13 cases were clearly visible. It was consistent with intraoperative measurement results. The perforating branch less than 1 mm only showed strip-like blood flow signal or no blood flow and spectrum signal, and there was an unclear boundary to surrounding tissue. One case appeared distortion and variation of blood vessels before surgery, thus changed to other surgery. Two cases had no perforating branch by preoperative detection, which was then confirmed by intraoperative anatomy. High-frequency ultrasound has a significant effect on preoperative position of perforating branch, and the combination with computer tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography can support a more comprehensive and reliable reference.

ObjectiveTo investigate the consistency between the results of passive particle agglutination test ( PPA ) and ELISA on Mycoplasma pneumonia ( M.pneumonia ) infection.Study the diagnostic value of both assays.Methods From November 2010 to May 2011,the serum samples of ]191 patients with respiratorysymptoms were collected fromAffiliatedHospitalof JiningMedical University.All samples were tested for antibody levels against M.pneumonia using PPA,and for IgM,IgG,IgA subclass using ELISA.The correlation between the results of two methods was evaluated by Kappa test and Spearman rank correlation analysis.The variances of the antibody subclasses among samples with different PPA titers and different age groups were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test.The infection status of patients was analyzed based on ELISA results and the clinical relevance of both assays was evaluated in comparison with clinical diagnosis for samples with high PPA titer.ResultsThe level of agreement between the results of PPA and ELISA was 84.3％,with Kappa value of 0.642 ( P ＜0.01 ).The prevalence of IgM and IgA antibody against M.pneumonia was significantly different among samples with various PPA titers ( P ＜0.05 ).The prevalence of IgM subclass was higher in chill and teeuager groups,while that of IgA and IgG were higher in elderly group.Antibody isotyping results suggested that 58.1％ of PPA positive samples (75 cases),especially 96.4％ of samples with high PPA titer ( 27 cases),were of current infection,which was in consistent with clinical diagnosis.ConclusionPPA showed good consistency with ELISA on diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumonia infection.Antibody subclass determination hy ELISA indicates disease progression,thus to differentiate current infection from past.

0.05).The most common toxicity was neutropenia and nausea.There are no serious nausea,damage of liver and kidney functions and grade 4 neutropenia in the study group.The side-ef- fects,in the study group,such as hemorrhage,infection,medicine outleakage,catheter obstruct,catheter slough,gastric-intestinal perforation,and fever did not appear.Conclusion Although this study was conduct- ed in a small number of patients and short time,compared with the control group,the study group had a ben- eficial effect in peritoneal recurrence after curative gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer and had less side effect and good toleration.It played a role in enhancing 1-year overall survival rate.The combination of intra- venous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy after gastrectomy may have better treatment effect on gastric cancer than that of intravenous chemotherapy alone.The randomized controlled trials are required.
