Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the oral contrast-enhanced three-dimensional spiral CT cholangiography to display better the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Methods Before spiral CT scanning, the preparation was similar to the conventional X-ray oral cholecystography. The collected parameters included 3-5 mm slice, 1 or 1.5 pitch, 120 kV, 220-250 mAs, and 1 mm reconstruction image. Volume rendering was used to construct the 3D bile duct images. Results In the 20 patients without serious biliary obstruction, oral three-dimensional CT cholangiography displayed the grade Ⅰ branch of hepatic ducts clearly and the displaying rate was 100%. The displaying of the grade Ⅱ branch of hepatic ducts was not good enough and the rate was 60%. The grade Ⅲ branch of hepatic ducts could not be displayed. Conclusion As the substitute and supplement of invasive ERCP, spiral CT 3D cholangiography is safe, simple, painless, and non-invasive. Furthermore, spiral CT 3D cholangiography can display the space structure of bile duct tree more clearly than ERCP. This technique is of great clinical value.

Objective To compare the clinical value of 2 oral contrast agents for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)and to investigate the safety,potency ratio of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents and to improve MRCP image quality.Methods Before MRCP,30 patients took oral ferric ammonium citrate(FAC)solution as group A and another 30 patients took Gd-DTPA dilution as group B.Then all patients underwent MRCP with T2-haste-fs-thick-slab sequence.Image assessment was done before and after oral taking of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents.Results After oral taking of negative gastrointestinal contrast agents,the interference of liquid in stomach and duodenum was suppressed and even effectively eliminated on MRCP.MRCP image quality was improved.Though the display of bile duct and pancreatic duct was of less image artifact,it reached the quality for diagnosis.No significant difference of MRCP image quality was found between those took FAC solution or Gd-DTPA solution.Conclusion FAC and Gd-DTPA both are effective negative gastrointestinal contrast agents.Gd-DTPA solution is of better function and higher quality-price ratio.

Objective To screen the valid plasmid targeted toGCN5 among the constructed recombinant plasmids;and to explore the effects of histone acetylizad modification in regulating MSCs differentiation.Methods Exstract the constructed plasmids and transfect them into MSCs induced by 5-aza.For 24 h,observe MSCs;detect the transfect efficiency by flow cytometry;detect expression of protein GCN5 by Western-blot;detect the HAT activity by ELISA.Results Transfect efficiency was more than 20%;Expression of protein GCN5 and HAT activity had no difference in group ZJ1 and ZJ2,but had a significant difference to that in group ZJ3.HAT activity of experiment group was significantly lower than that of control groups.Conclusion The inhibition state of histone acetylation results in plasmid ZJ3,it can inhibit the differentiation process of MSCs.The results provide data for the clinical application of MSCs transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the further improvement of the drug purchasing system in Chongqing city. METHODS:30 primacy medical and health institutions in Chongqing were selected to collect the data about cost changes and busi-ness development in above-mentioned institutions from 2009 to 2013,the purchasing price,use and supply of essential medicines were collected via Chongqing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission to evaluate and analyze the effects and existing problems of drug purchasing system,and suggestions were put forward. RESULTS:Compared with 2009,the non-essential drugs’ prices fell an average of 28.00%in 2013,prices of 307 varieties in National Essential Medicine System(2009 edition)fell an aver-age of 32.97%,205 varieties in supplementary list of local prices fell an average of 43.78%. The proportion of sales amount(not including Chinese herbal medicine)in primacy medical and health institutions increased from 76.48% in 2010 to 92.07% in 2013, the average rate of essential medicines increased from 6.84% to 28.12%. Compared with 2009,the average drug cots and inpatient drug costs decreased 16.78% and 25.85% in 2013,the proportion of drugs decreased from 56.32% in 2009 to 49.70% in 2013. CONCLUSIONS:Generally speaking,the implementation of drug purchasing system in Chongqing is successful,but also exists some problems,such as imperfect pricing mechanism,difficult supply of low-cost drugs,slow rise of average outpatient costs in primacy medical and health institutions and irrational drug use. It is suggested to improve it from aspects of perfecting drug pricing mechanism,optimizing logistics and distribution,strengthening the role of the medical insurance institutions,regulating medication overuse and improving compensation policy of medical institutions.

Objective To explore the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (Mtb-Ag) on neutrophils apoptosis.Methods The fresh isolated neutrophils from healthy adults blood were cultured with Mtb-Ag for 24 h,with or without pretreatment of nuclear factor -?B (NF-?B) inhibitor N-tosyl-L-phenylanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) for 30 minutes.Annexin V staining and Flow cytometry were used to measure cell apoptosis of neutrophils.NF-?B DNA binding was measured by gelelectrophorestic mobility shift assay (EMSA) in neutrophils after incubated with Mtb-Ag for 0,1,2,4,6,24 hours.Results Comparing to the spontaneous apoptosis (55%?6%) of neutrophils after culture in vitro for 24 h,treatment of Mtb-Ag (1.125 mg/ml) decreased the cell apoptosis of neutrophils (32%?3%).The NF-?B shift bands were detected at 1 h in neutrophils after stimulated by Mtb-Ag,and reached maximum peak at 2 hours,and then returned to basal levels within 24 h.Pretreatment of TPCK inhibited the anti-apoptosis role of Mtb-Ag in neutrophils.Conclusion Mtb-Ag prevents neutrophils apoptosis and its inhibitory role concerns NF-?B pathway.

AlM:To investigate biological measurement parameters of anterior segment in acute angle- closure glaucoma ( AACG) .METHODS:Forty-six eyes of 46 patients with AACG and 52 eyes of 52 patients with shallow anterior chamber and 50 eyes of 50 normal individuals were examined. The parameters of anterior segment including chamber crowd rate (CCR), lens thickness (LT), lens position (LP) and anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) were measured by A-ultrasound according to different ages in each group. The data were performed statistical analysis in three groups.RESULTS: ln each age range group (≥50 ~ 59 years old, ≥60 ~ 69 years old, ≥70 years old ) , statistically significant differences in three groups ( AACG, shallow anterior chamber group and the controls ) were found in CCR, LT, LP, ACD (P<0. 01). There were statistically significant differences only in CCR (P<0. 01) but not in LT, LP and ACD ( P > 0. 05 ) between AACG and shallow anterior chamber group in each age range group.CONCLUSlON: CCR can be used as the index of evaluating crowding state of anterior segment in AACG patients and the sensitivity is better than LT and LP.
