Objective To investigate the best techniques and postprocessing protocols for 31P MRS of femur and soft tissue.Methods The 31P MRS was performed on the 20 normal volunteers,using Siemens SONATA 1.5T MR scanner and heart/liver 31P surface coil.The age of volunteers ranged from 18 to 25 years old.Related data came from 40 voxels of the interested region were post-processed and compared by two different kinds of methods: automatically processed(group A) and interactively processed(group B).Results In group A,only 28 of 40 studies displayed well defined spectra,another 12 can't,and the shift of PCr deviated from 0.0 ppm;In group B,35 of 40 studies produced well defined spectra,another 5 can't,and the shift of PCr was near to 0.0 ppm,(p

Objective To explore the value of 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy(31P MRS)for differential diagnosis of bone malignancy and inflammation.Methods Radiography.MRI and 31P MRs were performed on 20 bone malignancy patients,22 bone and soft-tissue inflarnmation patients and 32 healthy voluntecrs.The spectra were analyzed by measuring the areas under the peaks of various metabolites,and by calculating the pH from the Pi shift relative to PCr.The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of vailance (ANOVA).Results Analysis of the 31P MRS data suggested differences among the bone malignancy,the inflammation and the healthy group.The mean of PME/β-ATP ratio(1.24±0.37)in malignancy group increased significantly(P＜0.01).The mean of PDE/β-ATP(2.21.±0.37),Pi/β-ATP(1.46±0.43)in inflammation group was higher than that of the other two groups(P＜0.05),but the ratio of PME/β-ATP (0.19±0.10)wag not increasing.The LEP/T31P(0.10±0.02),PCr/T31P(0.45±0.03)and ATP/T31P (0.45±0.03)ratios in control group were significantly difierent from the two others(P＜0.01).The mean of intracellular pH in malignancy group was 7.45±0.16,higher than that in control group(7.05±0.06),and in inflaruination group(7.20±0.13)(P＜0.01).Conclusions The significant increase of PME and intraeellular pH is of great value in diagnosis of bone malignancy.Combined conventional radiography and MRI.31PMRs would be a simple,no-.invasive and effective diagnostic method.

The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the correlations between foliar fungal endophyte communities and effective components accumulations in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Foliar samples of S. miltiorrhiza were collected in 5 different areas. Their fungal endophyte communities and effective component contents were determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. The results showed that, for characteristics of foliar fungal endophyte communities and effective component contents, there were both similarities and differences among the five samples. Correlation analysis of DGGEs' band and 24 effective components revealed a significant correlations (P < 0.01). For examples, 4 bands (15, 18, 23 and 26) were all significantly correlated with the accumulations of caffeic acid, salvianolic acid B, salvianolic acid C and dihydrotanshinone I.

ObjectiveTo detect the features of dopamine secretion of cultured bovine retinal pigmentary epithelial(RPE) cells. The level of dopamine and survival rate after passage and microencapsulation were also observed. MethodsThe primary culture of bovine RPE cells was made using enzyme digestion. After purification and identification the growth curve of the cell was observed. Alginate-polylysine-alginate(APA) microencapsulated cells were made with a high voltage electostatic system. The activity of the cells in the mirocapsule was investigated by trypan blue staining. The secretion of dopamine was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay. ResultsThe cell had high purity of immunocytochemistry. The growth curve showed that the exponential growth occurred at the first 1~4 days. Dopamine content was first detected at the time point of 2 hour, and arrived at the peak at about 48 hour of the cultivation. The secretion of dopamine was not different between passages. Dopamine secretion was dramatically decreased in the first 4 days after microencapsulation (P

OBJECTIVEPolyethylene glycol/bone morphogenetic protein-2 (PEG/BMP-2) nanoparticles were transfected into Rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and the expression of BMP-2 was detected.

METHODSDissociated rBMSCs were primarily cultured in vitro and BMP-2 gene was transfected into rBMSCs by PEG/BMP-2 nanoparticals and lipofectamine, respectively. The efficiency of transfection was detected by flow cytometry and the expression of BMP-2 was detected by Western Blot and real time RT-PCR.

RESULTSPEG/BMP-2 nanoparticals were successfully synthesized and transfected into rBMSCs. Compared with the lipofectamine transfection group, PEG/BMP-2 transfection group had higher efficiency and higher BMP-2 expression.

CONCLUSIONPEG/BMP-2 nanoparticals transfected rBMSCs highly expressed BMP-2,which provided novel strategies for the treatment of bone defect.

Objective To study the modulation effect of adrenomedullin (ADM) on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension in rats.Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group ( n =8), hypoxic group ( n =8), hypoxic with ADM group ( n =8). ADM was subcutaneously administered into rats of hypoxic with ADM group by mini-osmotic pump (300 ng/h). After two weeks hypoxic challenge, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) were evaluated by a right cardiac catheterization procedure. Mean systemic artery pressure (mSAP) was measured. The ratio of right ventricular mass to left ventricular plus septal mass [RV/(LV+S)] was detected.Results sPAP, mPAP and RV/(LV+S) significantly increased in hypoxic rats compared with controls ( P

Objective To explore the cause, influencing factor and possible solving method of transient adverse reactions during the operation. Methods Sixteen healthy beagles were undergone virtual PLDD. The changes of vertebral discs and the surrounding tissues were observed by high resolution CT and MRI at different periods after the operation, and the same investigation procedure was carried out after the sacrifice of beagles. Results The beagles of the conventional vaporization group occasionally had limb tic and whining in the operations. Pieces of necrosis and edema could be found in the tissues of intervertebral foramen at the paracentetic side. The histological changes in the negative pressure suction group were less than those in the conventional group. Conclusion The reversible damages of the surrounding tissuses were observed in the conventional group and continuing negative pressure suction during the operations can prevent the damages to the surrounding tissues, all of the changes could be clearly displayed by CT and MRI scan.

Objective To analyze the clinical effect of biliary-enteric anastomosis and biliary stent to palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods A total of 40 patients with inoperable malignant obstructive jaundice were enrolled in this study,and 20 patients were performed biliary stent placement (stent group),simultaneously 20 patients were performed biliary-enteric anastomosis (operation group).The fatality rate after operation,the level of total bilirubin before treatment and after treatment for 4,7,14 d,the rate of hyperpyrexia,nausea and vomiting,postoperative recurrence of jaundice were compared between two groups.Results There were no dead in two groups.The level of total bilirubin was decreased after treatment,and there was no significant in two groups before treatment and after treatment for 4,7,14 d (P ＞ 0.05).The rate of hyperpyrexia in operation group was significantly lower than that in stent group (0 vs.4/20) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice,the biliary-enteric anastomosis should be performed first if there is no significant contraindication.
