Objective To study the effects on tissue CT number caused by scan protocols.Methods The phantom was repeatedly scanned in different protocols by changing only one of parameters,such as X-ray tube voltage,mAs and recon kernel,while other parameters were ketp unchanged.The CT number of different materials in phantom were measured and analyzed.Results The CT numbers of tissues changed remarkably with the tube voltage and had different relativity for different tissues.The CT numbers had positive correlation with kV for such maierials as polyethyle,lexan,perspex,but for teflon the correlation was negative.The mAs and recon kernel had no effects on CT number.Conclusions The CT number of tissue changes with scanning X-ray tube voltage,so the setting of scan parameters should be taken into account in image diagnosis and radiotherapy.

There were 55 males and 31 females, aged from 17 to 55 years old with an average of 39.1 years. Among them, 73 cases complicated with pelvis fracture and 13 cases with acetabular fracture; 37 cases with sacral neurological symptoms and 49 cases without sacral neurological symptoms. Fracture healing time, nerve function, clinical function and complications were observed in the patients.

RESULTSIn 86 cases, 6 cases were out of followed-up and 80 cases were followed up from 24 to 71 months with an average of 36 months. The mean fracture healing time was 13 weeks (ranged, 10 to 38 weeks).

Objective To observe the influence of the short effect antihypertension drugs- nifedipine and medial effect antihypertension drugs- extended release nifedipine on the blood pressure variability (BPV) in essential hypertension(EH). Methods Twenty-five EH patients were underwent 24-hour noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and observed their BPV respectively before taking drugs, after taking nifedipine and extended release nifedipine. Meantime,25 normotensive controls (NC) were observed. Results (1)BPV in EH group was higher than that in controlled group and the severer the rise of blood pressure, the more obvious the increase of BPV (P 0.05). Conclusions Nifedipine could increase BPV but extended release nifedipine did not change BPV while they decreased blood pressure. Effect of extended release nifedipine was better than nifedipine in decreasing blood pressure.

Objective To establish an ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for detecting α-hydroxybutyrate (α-HB) in serum.Methods Electrospray ionization negative ion and multiple reaction monitoring mode were used to detect serum α-HB.The linearity,low limits of quantification,precision,recovery and interference of UHPLC-MS/MS were evaluated.The reference interval of this method was established in 130 serum samples (62 males and 68 females) from Shanghai East Hospital.Dixon method was used to judge the outliers and K-S test was used to analyze the data normality.The standard curve was scored by linear regression analysis.Results The total run time was 4 min of UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of α-HB.It has a good linear relationship in the range of 0.5-40.0 mg/L(r=0.999 4);the low limit of quantification was 0.5 mg/L;the in-batch and inter-batch coefficient of variation precision were less than 4.1％ and 6.3％,respectively;the recovery ranged between 95.8％ and 103.8％.Hemolytic samples (about 5 g/L hemoglobin),lipemic samples (about 12 mmol/L triglyceride),icteric samples (about 150 μmol/L total bilirubin) had no significant interference to the detection.The reference range of the apparent healthy population was 1.46-6.48 mg/L.Conclusions A method for the determination of serum α-HB by UHPLC-MS/MS was established.The method was simple,rapid,and could be used for the detection of clinical samples.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes of the blood and urine mercury (Hg) levels and liver & kidney functions of rabbits after administration of Jiuyi Dan (calcined gypsum-Sheng Dan 9: 1) for 1 month and the recovery of rabbits after the drug withdrawal.

METHODThe rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups: the calcined gypsum group and the Jiuyi Dan group. After 36 mg of calcined gypsum and 40 mg of Jiuyi Dan were used on the surface of wound (5 cm x 5 cm) on one side of rabbit back for 4 h, the surfaces of wound were washed by saline. The bloods were taken from the rabbit hearts before and after the drug administration for 14 and 28 days, and after the drug withdrawal for 7, 40, 71, and 92 days for determining Hg level in blood, and liver & kidney function indicators (ALT, AST, CREAT and BUN). The Hg level in urine collected from bladders was examined while rabbits were dissected after the drug withdrawal for 1, 40, 71, and 92 days.

RESULTThe Hg level in blood was significantly increased (P < 0.01) after the rabbits were administrated with drugs for 14 and 28 days and after the drug treatment was stopped for 7 and 40 days. The Hg level in urine was significantly enhanced after the drug withdrawal for 1, 40, 71 days. However, the liver & kidney indicators were not influenced.

CONCLUSIONThe Hg level in rabbit blood and urine was significantly increased after the consecutive administration of double-dose Jiuyi Dan for 1 month. However, the blood Hg level and urine Hg level recover after the drug withdrawal for 71 days and 3 months, respectively. The liver & kidney indicators do not significantly change with the dose.

Under the general requirements of China's national health reform, the basic framework of Shanghai's health reform was constructed at five different aspects the long term vision, goal, strategies, measures, supportive reform activities. The general thought of Shanghai's health reform can be concluded into two aspects: first, establishing a basic healthcare system of covering both urban and rural residents universally; second, enhancing the foundation of enabling sustainable health development.

BACKGROUNDOverexpression of G-protein coupled receptor 34 (GPR34) affects the progression and prognosis of human gastric adenocarcinoma, however, the role of GPR34 in gastric cancer development and progression has not been well-determined. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of GPR34 knockdown on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of HGC-27 gastric cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms.

METHODSThe expression of GPR34 in gastric cancer cell line HGC-27 was detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. HGC-27 cells were employed to construct the stable GPR34 knockdown cell model in this study. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were applied to validate the effect of short hairpin RNA (ShRNA) on the expression of GPR34 in HGC-27 gastric cells. The proliferation, migration of these cells were examined by Cell Counting Kit-8 and transwell. We also measured expression profile of PI3K/PDK1/AKT and ERK using Western blotting.

RESULTSThe ShRNA directed against GPR34 effectively inhibited both endogenous mRNA and protein expression levels of GPR34, and significantly down-regulated the expression of PIK3CB (P < 0.01), PIK3CD (P < 0.01), PDK1 (P < 0.01), phosphorylation of PDK1 (P < 0.01), Akt (P < 0.01), and ERK (P < 0.01). Furthermore, GPR34 knockdown resulted in an obvious reduction in HGC-27 cancer cell proliferation and migration activity (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSGPR34 knockdown impairs the proliferation and migration of HGC-27 gastric cancer cells in vitro and provides a potential implication for therapy of gastric cancer.
